    <description><![CDATA[<p>** TOP 1.5% Global Podcast ** Online Community for Christian Women <br />Discipleship Community, Accountability, Life Coaching for Women of Faith, Vision Building &amp; Planning<br /><br />Joy Johnson- Community Builder, Life Coach, Podcater<br /><br />The podcast you need in your life as a Christian woman who is ready to step in to all that God created them to be.<br /><br />Are you sick and tired of feeling stuck in life? <br />Do you constantly feel like you are trying to manage your responsibilities all at once as a mom, or wife only to be left completely exhausted by the end of each day? <br />Do you deal with crippling fear &amp; doubt that can invade your mind at any given moment and weighs you down mentally? Do you find yourself struggling with your self-worth and confidence when it comes to putting yourself first? Have you wrestled with the desire to grow deeper in relationship with God and see His plan for your life come to fruition, but you are still a little scared?<br /><br />There is a way to step out of the constant self-sabotage, gain control of your life and give yourself permission to live out the vision that God has for you! <br /><br />Hey, I’m Joy Johnson. Your new bestie, coach, mentor and sister in Christ that cannot wait to speak life into you and activate you to take action in the life that you have been so blessed with.<br /><br />I remember the days where I was hiding behind the very things that were robbing me of all of my time and energy. I was crippled by fear of failure, the opinions of others and lacked major boundaries. I was operating in a lack mentality in my motherhood, overcommitted to things that weren’t fully serving me and not letting my husband in on my mind battles. Not to mention allowing my relationship with God to be on the back burner because hello- there was no time for that. That was a recipe for disaster that quickly led to burn out and frustration. <br /><br />It wasn’t until I realized that I was absolutely not alone, and so many other women were struggling with the same things that I began to be honest with myself. I have since been able to apply a framework in structuring my life that has changed everything for the better. <br /><br />Through this podcast I will share with you HOW to:<br /><br />• Discover, design &amp; develop a vision the vision God has for you<br />• Simplify your daily systems to bring transformation in your mental, emotional &amp; physical health<br />• Embrace the power of consistency and release the perfectionistic mindset once and for all <br />• Heal from your past and not let it hinder your future<br />• Find joy in your Journey to Becoming all that God has created you to be<br /><br />I am honored to be on this journey alongside you, grab your amazingly oversized water bottle &amp; let’s live out our God dreams, together! <br /><br />Connect with me here: <br />Join our FREE 5 Day Becoming a Woman of Value Challenge:</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wondered...</p>
<p>✨ What's the difference between a spiritual gift, a talent, and my personality?</p>
<p>✨ How do I know what God has uniquely created me to do?</p>
<p>✨ Am I comparing myself to someone else's calling instead of embracing my own?</p>
<p>In Week 4 of our Holy Girl Summer series, we're exploring one of the biggest keys to discovering your God-given purpose: understanding how God uniquely designed you.</p>
<p>Many women confuse spiritual gifts, natural talents, and personality, but while they work together, they each serve a different purpose. When you understand the difference, you can stop striving to be someone else and start confidently walking in the woman God created you to be.</p>
<p>In this episode, you'll learn:</p>
<p>💛 The difference between spiritual gifts, talents, and personality
 💛 How all three work together to shape your unique calling
 💛 Why comparison keeps us from embracing God's design for our lives
 💛 Practical questions to help you discover how God has wired you
 💛 How to begin stewarding the gifts He's already placed inside of you</p>
<p>We'll also continue our 5-Minute Prayer Challenge, creating intentional space each day to draw near to God and listen for the Holy Spirit's leading.</p>
<p>Friend, God didn't accidentally create you with your personality, passions, experiences, or gifts.</p>
<p>He designed you on purpose, for a purpose.</p>
<p>The more you understand how He wired you, the more confidently you can step into the calling He's prepared for you.</p>
Key Scriptures:
<p> 📖 Psalm 139:13-16
 📖 Ephesians 2:10

</p>
<p>If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who needs the reminder that she doesn't have to become someone else to fulfill God's purpose—she simply needs to become the woman He created her to be.</p>
<p>Because your journey to becoming begins with embracing who God says you are. 🩷</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wondered:</p>
<p>✨ Is God speaking to me?
✨ How do I know if it's God or just my own thoughts?
✨ What if I miss what He's trying to tell me?</p>
<p>If you've ever struggled to hear God's voice, this episode is for you.</p>
<p>In Week 3 of our Holy Girl Summer series, we're diving into one of the most important parts of discovering your spiritual gifts and walking in your calling: learning to recognize the voice of God.</p>
<p>Because you can't fully walk in your gifts if you're not listening to the One who gave them.</p>
<p>In this episode, you'll learn:</p>
<p>💛 How the Holy Spirit speaks in everyday life
💛 The importance of creating quiet space to listen
💛 Practical ways to grow in hearing God's voice with confidence</p>
<p>We'll also continue our Holy Girl Summer challenge of spending 5 minutes a day in prayer, not out of religion or obligation, but to draw near to God, hear His voice, and become more aware of the Holy Spirit's leading in our lives.</p>
<p>Friend, you don't need to have the entire plan figured out.</p>
<p>More often than not, God doesn't reveal the whole staircase, He simply illuminates the next step.</p>
<p>Your job isn't to know everything.</p>
<p>Your job is to listen and obey.</p>
<p>If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who is longing to hear God's voice more clearly.</p>
<p>Let's continue becoming the women God created us to be—one step of obedience at a time.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this week's Holy Girl Summer episode, we laid the foundation for understanding spiritual gifts—what they are, why God gives them, and how they help us become all that He created us to be.</p>
<p>Together, we explored key passages we'll be studying throughout this series:
📖 Romans 12:4-8
📖 1 Corinthians 12
📖 Ephesians 4</p>
<p>One thing we discovered is that spiritual gifts aren't given for our benefit alone. They are given to build up the Body of Christ, serve others, and bring glory to God.</p>
<p>I also shared a challenge for the next 9 weeks:</p>
<p>Spend 5 minutes a day in prayer.</p>
<p>Not out of religious obligation.
Not to check a box.
But to draw near to God, hear His voice, and become more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.</p>
<p>Many of us are trying to navigate life exhausted, overwhelmed, burnt out, and disconnected. But what if part of the reason is that we've been trying to operate outside of the identity God has given us?</p>
<p>You don't know what you don't know.</p>
<p>And perhaps the reason you've felt stuck is because you've been striving to be someone God never called you to be, while neglecting the unique gifts He placed inside of you.</p>
<p>Discovering your spiritual gifts helps you:</p>
<p>✨ Grow closer to God
✨ Understand your unique value
✨ Stop comparing yourself to others
✨ Gain clarity on your calling
✨ Serve with greater confidence
✨ Make a greater contribution in your home, church, workplace, and community</p>
<p>Because at the end of the day, the question isn't: "Do I have spiritual gifts?"</p>
<p>The question is: "Am I using the gifts God has already given me?"</p>
<p>When a woman begins to steward those gifts well, she often experiences a new level of purpose, confidence, and joy in her journey to becoming.This summer, let's stop striving to be someone else and start discovering who God created us to be</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scripture Referenced: Romans 12 (v4-8), 1 Corinthians 12 (v4-11), Ephesians 4 (v11-12)</p>

                <itunes:summary>Many of us are trying to navigate life exhausted, overwhelmed, burnt out, and disconnected. But what if part of the reason is that we’ve been trying to operate outside of the identity God has given us?
You don’t know what you don’t know.
And perhaps the reason you’ve felt stuck is because you’ve been striving to be someone God never called you to be, while neglecting the unique gifts He placed inside of you.</itunes:summary>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Holy Girl Summer! ☀️🌿</p>
<p>We're kicking off this powerful new series with a conversation that every Christian woman needs to hear.</p>
<p>In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I'm joined by Renee Booe, Certified Biblical Brain-Based Life Coach, as we dive into the connection between your spiritual gifts, purpose, and God-given calling.</p>
<p>Many of us know we're called for more, yet we find ourselves shrinking back, doubting our gifts, questioning our abilities, or hiding behind fear. Renee shares why this happens, how limiting beliefs and old narratives can keep us stuck, and why spiritual gifts are often directly connected to the purpose God has placed on our lives.</p>
<p>Renee also vulnerably shares lessons from her own recent season of growth and expansion in business, revealing how growth has a way of exposing areas where fear still exists. Together, we discuss what it looks like to move through those fears as a high-achieving Christian woman who desires to fully steward what God has entrusted to her.</p>
<p>✨ In this episode, you'll learn:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to identify and embrace your spiritual gifts</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why fear often increases when God is expanding your territory</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Common reasons women shrink back from their calling</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How limiting beliefs impact your confidence and obedience</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Practical ways to renew your mind and create new thought patterns</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How biblical truth and brain science work together to support transformation</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What it looks like to confidently walk in your God-given purpose</li>
</ul>
<p>If you've ever felt called to more but found yourself battling self-doubt, fear, comparison, or imposter syndrome, this episode will encourage you to stop hiding and start partnering with God in a deeper way.</p>
<p>This conversation is packed with wisdom, practical tools, and powerful reminders that the gifts God placed inside of you were never meant to stay hidden.</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in and join us as we kick off Holy Girl Summer by discovering how God uniquely created you to serve, lead, and impact the world around you.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What if the biggest thing standing between where you are today and the woman God is calling you to become isn't a lack of opportunity, but a reluctance to invest in your own growth?</p>
<p>In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story about investing in mentorship for the first time, doing absolutely nothing with it, and staying stuck longer than I needed to. The opportunity wasn't the problem. My mindset was.</p>
<p>A year later, I chose to try again. This time, something had shifted. I began to see myself differently, show up differently, and experience the growth I had been praying for.</p>
<p>Just like a fish continues to grow when it's placed in a larger tank, we grow when we place ourselves in new environments, healthy communities, mentorship, and spaces that challenge us to become more than we've been.</p>
<p>Growth doesn't happen by accident. It happens when we are willing to stretch.</p>
<p>We'll talk about:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why investing in yourself can feel so scary</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The mindset that keeps women stuck</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How new environments create new possibilities</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why your growth is connected to your obedience</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The people who may be impacted by your willingness to keep going</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why investing in yourself is never wasted when you stay committed to the process</li>
</ul>
<p>You may not realize it, but there are people attached to your obedience. There are women who need your story, your growth, your courage, and your willingness to keep taking the next step.</p>
<p>Don't let fear convince you to stay where you've always been.</p>
<p>God gets the glory when ordinary women say yes, keep growing, and refuse to give up.</p>
<p>Let's take the next right step together.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Most women aren’t stuck financially because they lack opportunity…they’re stuck because of patterns, mindset, and survival mode thinking that quietly shape their daily decisions.</p>
<p>In this episode, we’re talking about a powerful reset around money mindset, discipline, and what it actually means to raise your standards as a woman of value.</p>
<p>So many of us are living in a cycle of overwhelm, emotional spending, avoidance, and inconsistency, not because we don’t want better, but because we’ve normalized reacting instead of intentionally building.</p>
<p>We unpack what it looks like to shift out of survival mode and begin choosing peace over pressure, intention over impulse, and long-term freedom over temporary comfort.</p>
<p>You’ll walk away with clarity around:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why survival mode keeps you financially stuck</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How impulsive decisions create long-term stress</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What it means to raise your standards with money</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why discipline is actually a form of self-respect</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or inconsistent with your finances, this episode will help you reset your mindset and realign with the woman you’re becoming.</p>
<p>Because a woman of value doesn’t just want more, she builds differently.</p>
<p>Scripture Referenced: Proverbs 21:5 </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>As we come to the end of May, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, distracted, and convinced that there’s “no time” to focus on yourself, your goals, or your growth. Life gets busy, responsibilities pile up, and before you know it, your intentions get pushed to the side.</p>
<p>In this episode, I’m sharing a much-needed reset conversation we had inside the Joyful Fit Life community, one that helped us pause, reflect, and realign with what truly matters.</p>
<p>This is your invitation to reset with us.</p>
<p>We walk through four powerful reflection questions that will help you get honest, clear, and intentional about your current season:</p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What is one area of growth you’ve seen in yourself? (nothing is too small)</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What does a healthy “yes” look like for you in this season?</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What does a healthy “no” look like for you in this season?</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Where are you being distracted, and what is pulling you away from your vision, goals, or intentions?</li>
</ol>
<p>This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to wait for a new year, a new month, or a “perfect time” to reset. You can choose alignment right now.</p>
<p>If you’ve been feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or like you’re losing momentum, this conversation will help you come back to yourself, your standards, and your direction.</p>
<p>Let’s keep going together. Let’s build momentum. Because that is who we were created to be.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with bestselling author, speaker, motivational humorist, and award-winning podcast host<a href='https://www.rhondastoppe.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com'> Rhonda Stoppe</a> for a special podcast swap conversation centered around her new book, Moms of the Bible.</p>
<p>Together, we dive deep into biblical motherhood, mentorship, healing, and the importance of learning from the women who have gone before us. Rooted in the wisdom of Titus 2, this conversation explores how God designed women to encourage, disciple, and strengthen one another through every season of life.</p>
<p>Rhonda shares wisdom from over 40 years of helping women build “no regrets” lives, offering practical encouragement for mothers, grandmothers, and women seeking to grow deeper in their walk with God. I also open up about my personal testimony, the healing journey that transformed my parenting, and how I learned to create biblical boundaries in motherhood.</p>
<p>We talk about:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What it means to mother from healing instead of pain</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why your children are not extensions of you</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Biblical motherhood and the Titus 2 woman</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Christian mentorship and generational wisdom</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Emotional, mental, and physical health for women</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Becoming an advocate for yourself as you get older</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Healing family patterns through Christ</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The importance of healthy boundaries in parenting</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Faith-filled encouragement for moms in every season</li>
</ul>
<p>This episode is filled with biblical truth, encouragement, wisdom, and practical insight for Christian women, mothers, and grandmothers who desire to grow in faith, healing, and purpose.</p>
<p>If you’ve been longing for encouragement in your motherhood journey or wisdom from women who have walked before you, this conversation will remind you that God is still shaping your story — and your healing matters for generations to come.</p>

                <itunes:summary>In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with bestselling author, speaker, motivational humorist, and award-winning podcast host Rhonda Stoppe for a special podcast swap conversation centered around her new book, Moms of the Bible.
Together, we dive deep into biblical motherhood, mentorship, healing, and the importance of learning from the women who have gone before us. Rooted in the wisdom of Titus 2, this conversation explores how God designed women to encourage, disciple, and strengthen one another through every season of life.
Rhonda shares wisdom from over 40 years of helping women build “no regrets” lives, offering practical encouragement for mothers, grandmothers, and women seeking to grow deeper in their walk with God. I also open up about my personal testimony, the healing journey that transformed my parenting, and how I learned to create biblical boundaries in motherhood.</itunes:summary>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>After a powerful 5-part series sharing real stories of transformation inside the Joyful Fit Life community, this episode is a pause… a reset… a return.</p>
<p>No strategies.
No productivity tips.
No self-improvement pressure.</p>
<p>Just Jesus.</p>
<p>If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or caught in the cycle of trying to “fix” your life on your own, this episode is for you. Today, we’re anchoring ourselves back in truth: apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5).</p>
<p>Through scripture, prayer, and quiet reflection, this episode is designed to help you:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Release the pressure to strive and perform</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Reconnect with God as your source of peace, strength, and direction</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Be reminded that you were never meant to do life alone</li>
</ul>
<p>Let this be your moment to slow down, breathe, and sit in His presence.</p>
<p>Because sometimes… the most powerful thing you can do is come back to the One who sustains it all.</p>
<p>Scriptures Referenced: </p>
<p>Mark 11:24, Romans 12:2 ,Isaiah 60:22, 1 Peter 5:10 Hebrews 13:8, Ephesians 3:20, Exodus 14:14, </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>We’re closing out our community series with a powerful and wisdom-filled conversation with Virgie Prieto, a seasoned woman in our community whose life speaks to healing, growth, and transformation in every season.</p>
<p>Virgie carries a deep well of wisdom, especially when it comes to marriage, motherhood, emotional health, and personal growth. She speaks not from perfection, but from healed scars and a continued commitment to becoming an emotionally healthy woman in Christ.</p>
<p>In this episode, she vulnerably opens up about one of the most common yet hidden struggles among women: finances. For years, Virgie found herself turning to “retail therapy,” which eventually led her into over $100,000 of debt. What many would hide in shame, she brings into the light with honesty, courage, and grace.</p>
<p>Through joining the community, embracing accountability, and using the tools available to her, Virgie has already paid off $40,000 of debt and she’s not stopping there. She is actively rebuilding her financial habits, sticking to a budget, and choosing growth over shame.</p>
<p>Virgie’s story will challenge, encourage, and inspire you to believe that freedom is still possible, no matter where you’re starting from.</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in and be reminded: your past doesn’t disqualify you from your becoming.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What if the life you’re longing for is on the other side of one simple yes?</p>
<p>In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, Crystal shares how one invitation from a friend became the turning point that changed everything. After doing the inner healing work and walking through her past, she knew God had more for her, but she needed the right environment to grow into it.</p>
<p>Inside the Joyful Fit Life community, Crystal found exactly that.</p>
<p>Through daily accountability check-ins, she developed a new level of discipline that led to an incredible 75-pound weight loss. But even more powerful than the physical transformation was the mental and spiritual breakthrough…she dismantled the lie that she was “behind” in life and began fully stepping into the woman God created her to be.</p>
<p>If you’re a Christian woman feeling stuck, isolated, or unsure of your next step, this episode will remind you that you don’t need to have everything figured out—you just need to take the next step in faith.</p>
<p>Crystal’s encouragement is simple but powerful: keep going, and do it afraid.</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in to hear:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How community creates lasting transformation</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The power of daily accountability for discipline and consistency</li>

<p>In this episode, Isabel shares how she was living in quiet isolation—believing the lie that this was “just it” for her. But deep down, she knew there had to be more.</p>
<p>Through her yes to community, everything began to shift. What she found wasn’t judgment like she feared—but divine connections, real friendships, and a deeper understanding of who she is in Christ.</p>
<p>She opens up about how this journey has shaped her as a wife, a mom, and a leader—and how she’s now pouring back into other women, helping them step into the same freedom she’s found.</p>
<p>If you’ve been playing small, feeling alone, or questioning if there’s more for you… this episode will remind you: there is.</p>
<p>
You don’t have to stay stuck or do life alone. Step into the room. Your identity is waiting to be revealed. 🤍</p>

<p>In this powerful first episode of our new community series, Domonique shares what it looked like to hit a desperate place—and choose community anyway. What followed wasn’t just support… it was transformation.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What if you approached your thoughts the same way you approach spring cleaning your home?</p>
<p>In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we’re talking about how to spring clean your mind: letting go of mental clutter, breaking agreement with lies, and creating space for truth, peace, and clarity.</p>
<p>Using the CLEAN method, you’ll learn a simple, practical framework to help you take control of your thoughts and align your mind with truth.</p>
<p>So often, we stay stuck not because of our circumstances but because of the thoughts we’ve been believing. Overwhelm, fear, comparison, and self-doubt don’t just appear… they’re rooted in patterns that can be identified, challenged, and changed.</p>
<p>This episode will walk you through how to:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Recognize negative and limiting thought patterns</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Identify the lies that are keeping you stuck</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Replace those lies with truth rooted in God’s Word</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Take aligned action that supports real transformation</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Create daily rhythms to maintain a healthy, renewed mind</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’ve been feeling mentally cluttered, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of overthinking,  this episode will give you the tools to reset your mind and step into clarity and peace.</p>
<p>🎧 Press play and start clearing out what no longer belongs- your next level requires a renewed mind.</p>

<p>In this powerful episode of <em>The Journey to Becoming Podcast</em>, we’re talking about how to spring clean your mind: letting go of mental clutter, breaking agreement with lies, and creating space for truth, peace, and clarity.</p>
<p>Using the CLEAN method, you’ll learn a simple, practical framework to help you take control of your thoughts and align your mind with truth.</p>
<p>So often, we stay stuck not because of our circumstances but because of the thoughts we’ve been believing. Overwhelm, fear, comparison, and self-doubt don’t just appear… they’re rooted in patterns that can be identified, challenged, and changed.</p>
<p>This episode will walk you through how to:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Recognize negative and limiting thought patterns</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Identify the lies that are keeping you stuck</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Replace those lies with truth rooted in God’s Word</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Take aligned action that supports real transformation</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Create daily rhythms to maintain a healthy, renewed mind</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’ve been feeling mentally cluttered, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of overthinking,  this episode will give you the tools to reset your mind and step into clarity and peace.</p>
<p>🎧 Press play and start clearing out what no longer belongs- your next level requires a renewed mind.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What if your emotions were never meant to control your entire day… or your life?</p>
<p>In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we’re diving into a powerful concept that might completely shift the way you view your emotions — the idea that emotions only last about 90 seconds, and anything beyond that is often the result of the thoughts we continue to think.</p>
<p>When I first heard this, it made me pause and ask:
 How often am I allowing a moment of emotion to turn into a day… a week… or even a season?</p>
<p>This is not a “beat yourself up” conversation — it’s an invitation to get curious about your emotional patterns, your responses, and the habits that are shaping your life.</p>
<p>Together, we explore both research-backed insight and biblical truth on how to process emotions in a healthy, God-honoring way — without suppressing them or letting them take over.</p>
<p>✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:
 • What the 90-second rule really means and how it applies to your life
 • Why emotions aren’t the problem — but unmanaged thoughts can be
 • What the Bible says about renewing your mind and stewarding your thoughts
 • Practical ways to feel your feelings without getting stuck in them
 • How to begin rewiring your habits and responses for lasting transformation</p>
<p>You were never meant to be ruled by your emotions — but you also don’t have to ignore them.</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in for a powerful, freeing conversation that will help you process, reset, and keep moving forward in your journey of becoming.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>In this heartfelt episode of The Journey to Becoming, I’m joined by Diana Marie, host of Circle Time for the Soul, as she shares how growing up in a Christian household shaped her faith and anchored her foundation in Christ. Through simple yet powerful family rhythms, Diana developed a relationship with God that continues to guide her today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Together, we dive into the ripple effect of living a life of obedience to God, and how your personal walk with Him can inspire, encourage, and transform those in your life—often in ways you don’t even realize.</p>
<p>This conversation is full of laughter, tears, and powerful reflections on God’s goodness through every season. You’ll be reminded that even what feels like a setback is often God setting you up for something greater.</p>

<p>Kari’s life changed suddenly when her husband suffered a devastating brain hemorrhage, leaving her widowed with three young children. In the midst of overwhelming grief, uncertainty, and heartbreak, Kari had to navigate not only the pain of loss but the responsibility of leading her family forward.</p>
<p>Yet through that painful season, God began reminding her of something she never expected — that she was still allowed to dream again.</p>
<p>Today, Kari shares how God walked with her through the process of doing the necessary “soul work” to heal her mind, will, and emotions. Through intentional healing, faith, and surrender, Kari experienced profound restoration. She is now remarried and part of a beautiful blended family, living proof that God truly does bring beauty from ashes.</p>
<p>Kari now has a heart for encouraging women who have experienced grief, heartbreak, or loss to lean into the healing process and trust that God is still writing their story.</p>
<p>✨ In this episode, we talk about:
 • Navigating the sudden loss of a spouse
 • Processing grief while raising young children
 • The importance of doing the deep soul work required for healing
 • Learning to dream again after devastating loss
 • How God restores broken places and creates beauty from ashes
 • Finding hope and purpose after grief</p>
<p>If you’ve experienced loss, heartbreak, or a season that changed your life unexpectedly, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible and restoration is part of God’s story for you.</p>
<p>Your pain is not the end of your story.</p>
<p>God is still writing something beautiful.</p>

<p>In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, Joy sits down with speaker, author, and ministry leader Kirby Kelly to talk about grief, hope, and the redemptive way God weaves our stories together.</p>
<p>Kirby shares insights from her book The Fabric of Hope, where she paints the beautiful picture of God restitching the broken pieces of our lives like a tapestry. Through honest conversation, Joy and Kirby explore why our scars and stories don’t have to be hidden to be redeemed—and how God can transform pain into purpose.</p>
<p>Together they discuss the reality of losing loved ones at different stages of life, processing grief with faith, and choosing to honor the legacy of those we’ve lost by continuing to live boldly for God. Rather than allowing grief to keep us stagnant, this conversation reminds us that healing can lead to breaking generational strongholds and stepping into the calling God has for our lives.</p>
<p>Kirby Kelly is a speaker, author, podcast host, and content creator based in Dallas, Texas who has spent over a decade using digital platforms to equip and encourage a global audience with the truth of the Gospel. With degrees in Communication, Biblical Studies, and Theology, she blends theological depth with cultural relevance through her podcast Bought + Beloved, social media platforms, and books including You Can Be Free and The Fabric of Hope. Her heart is to see this generation live saved, set free, and sent into their God-given calling.</p>
<p>✨ In this episode, you’ll discover:
 • How joy and suffering can coexist in the Christian life
 • Why God doesn’t waste our pain but redeems our stories
 • How to process grief after losing a loved one
 • The importance of honoring legacy by continuing to live fully for God
 • How healing can help break generational patterns and strongholds</p>
<p>If you’ve ever wrestled with grief, questioned God in a difficult season, or wondered how to move forward with hope after loss, this conversation will encourage you deeply.</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in to be reminded that God is still weaving hope into your story—even in the places that feel broken.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Are you already tempted to quit on the goals and dreams you were so excited about in January?</p>
<p>By March, motivation fades. Discipline feels heavy. The vision doesn’t feel as shiny anymore.</p>
<p>In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, I share a powerful story from when my husband played minor league baseball and what it meant to be “called up” to the next level. Players weren’t called up randomly. They were called up because someone saw the potential in them. They had demonstrated growth. They had proven they were ready for more.</p>
<p>And as believers, we are called to a higher standard too.</p>
<p>The Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:1, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” That is not a passive invitation — it is a call to spiritual maturity, discipline, and stewardship.</p>
<p>In this episode, we talk about:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why so many people quit by March

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The difference between goals and standards

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What it truly means to be “called higher” as a Christian woman

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Raising your discipline, integrity, and emotional maturity

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why excellence isn’t about ego — it’s about bringing glory to God

</li>
</ul>
<p>Calling you higher doesn’t mean hustle culture or burnout. It means obedience. It means stewardship. It means refusing to settle for mediocrity in the areas God has entrusted to you.</p>
<p>There is potential inside of you.</p>
<p>The question is — will you rise to meet it?</p>
<p>This episode is your March reset.</p>
<p>If you’re ready to stop shrinking back and start stewarding your life for God’s glory, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this special episode, we’re celebrating 2 years of The Journey to Becoming podcast. 🤍</p>
<p>Thank you for showing up for yourself every week, applying what you’re learning, and sharing this show with the women in your life who need encouragement and truth. This community would not be what it is without you.</p>
<p>After celebrating, we dive into a powerful conversation about clarity.</p>
<p>Have you ever said, “I just need clarity” before taking action?</p>
<p>What if you’re treating clarity like your morning coffee — believing nothing can happen until you have it?</p>
<p>In this episode, we talk about:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why God rarely gives the full plan

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How clarity is usually about the next step, not the whole picture

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The ways we create our own confusion by waiting for certainty

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How obedience reveals direction

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">And how to identify what God is already asking of you

</li>
</ul>
<p>Scripture tells us that God’s Word is a lamp unto our feet — not a spotlight for our entire future. If you’ve been waiting for total clarity before moving forward, this episode will challenge and encourage you to trust God with the light you’ve already been given.</p>
<p>You don’t need the full blueprint.
 You need the courage to take the next step.</p>
<p>If this episode blesses you, share it with a friend and continue walking this journey with us.</p>
<p>Scriptures Referenced: </p>
<p>Psalm 119:105</p>
<p>Ephesians 1:17-19</p>
<p>Proverbs 19:21</p>

<p>Thank you for showing up for yourself every week, applying what you’re learning, and sharing this show with the women in your life who need encouragement and truth. This community would not be what it is without you.</p>
<p>After celebrating, we dive into a powerful conversation about clarity.</p>
<p>Have you ever said, “I just need clarity” before taking action?</p>
<p>What if you’re treating clarity like your morning coffee — believing nothing can happen until you have it?</p>
<p>In this episode, we talk about:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why God rarely gives the full plan<br>
<br>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How clarity is usually about the next step, not the whole picture<br>
<br>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The ways we create our own confusion by waiting for certainty<br>
<br>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How obedience reveals direction<br>
<br>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">And how to identify what God is already asking of you<br>
<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Scripture tells us that God’s Word is a lamp unto our feet — not a spotlight for our entire future. If you’ve been waiting for total clarity before moving forward, this episode will challenge and encourage you to trust God with the light you’ve already been given.</p>
<p>You don’t need the full blueprint.<br>
 You need the courage to take the next step.</p>
<p>If this episode blesses you, share it with a friend and continue walking this journey with us.</p>
<p>Scriptures Referenced: </p>
<p>Psalm 119:105</p>
<p>Ephesians 1:17-19</p>
<p>Proverbs 19:21</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever feel busy all day… but still behind?</p>
<p>In this episode, I’m sharing 3 simple time management hacks that are helping me get my time back — and let me just say, I am not a Type A personality. I’m more creative, go-with-the-flow… maybe even Type C if that’s a thing. 😅</p>
<p>This isn’t about becoming more intense, more rigid, or more like someone else. It’s about knowing yourself, leading yourself, and being intentional with the time God has given you.</p>
<p>We’ll talk about:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to focus on what actually matters instead of doing “all the things”

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why pre-planning your week eliminates decision fatigue

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to identify and collapse energy leaks that are stealing your time

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">And how to feel accomplished at the end of your day without burning out

</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’re a woman who feels stretched thin, overwhelmed, or tired of living in catch-up mode, this episode will give you simple, practical shifts to help you move forward with clarity and peace.</p>
<p>You don’t need more hours in your day.
 You need more intention with the ones you already have.</p>
<p>If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs to get her time back too 🤍</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things, yet you still feel stuck, unmotivated, or like your momentum has quietly stalled? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, we’re talking about three hidden, often overlooked things that are killing your momentum and keeping you from stepping fully into the life and purpose God has for you.</p>
<p>These aren’t obvious sins or loud distractions. They’re subtle patterns—ways of thinking and living that feel normal, even responsible—but slowly keep us from growing, moving forward, and trusting God with our next step.</p>
<p>In this episode, we unpack:
 • Isolation disguised as independence: when self-reliance replaces community and we stop allowing others to support, challenge, and walk with us
 • Waiting for the “perfect moment” to celebrate: delaying joy, gratitude, and reflection because we believe we’re not “there yet”
 • Comparing ourselves to a past version of who we used to be: letting yesterday’s capacity, seasons, or expectations define what we believe is possible today</p>
<p>Momentum isn’t just about productivity—it’s about alignment. When these unseen habits take root, they quietly steal clarity, confidence, and obedience. We may want to move forward, but we’re still living anchored to the past or waiting for conditions that may never be perfect.</p>
<p>Here’s the truth: God is not speaking to you from where you’ve been, He is always calling you from where you’re going. He speaks from your future, inviting you to grow, stretch, trust, and become.</p>
<p>If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why your motivation feels off, this episode will help you identify what’s really going on beneath the surface and invite God into the process of moving forward with intention, faith, and renewed momentum.</p>
<p>✨ This is your reminder that you don’t have to stay where you are. You were created to move forward and God is already there, waiting for you.</p>
<p>Scripture Mentioned: </p>
<p>Galatians 6:2</p>
<p>Zechariah 4:!0</p>
<p>2 Corinthians 10:12</p>

                <itunes:summary>If your heart’s desire for 2026 is to grow closer to God but you’re craving practical, realistic ways to do that, this episode is for you.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing 10 powerful and doable ways to grow in your Christian walk in 2026. These aren’t about perfection or religious pressure; they’re about building intimacy with God, creating sustainable rhythms, and learning to walk with Him daily in real life.
We’ll talk about:
 • How worship music can bring healing and deepen your connection with God
 • Why keeping a prayer journal builds faith and reminds you of God’s faithfulness
 • Inviting the Holy Spirit into your day…on purpose
 • Finding a Bible translation and reading plan you’ll actually stick to
 • Choosing consistency over perfection in your faith walk
 • The importance of church, community, prayer, and fasting
 • A life-changing book recommendation for emotional and spiritual growth
 • Why you were never meant to walk this journey alone</itunes:summary>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Why does money bring up so much fear, stress, or overwhelm, even when we’re doing “all the right things”?</p>
<p>In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m joined by Brigid Tebaldi, a Nervous System + Identity Coach, to explore the deeper connection between your nervous system and your money story.</p>
<p>So often, budgeting, saving, or managing finances triggers anxiety, fear, shame, or avoidance. Instead of just addressing the behavior and trying to force better habits, Brigid invites us to slow down and get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface.</p>
<p>We talk about how your relationship with money may be rooted in early childhood experiences, learned patterns, and moments where your body learned whether money felt safe or threatening. When we begin to understand these connections, true healing  and real financial freedom becomes possible.</p>
<p>💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why money stress is often a nervous system response

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How childhood experiences shape your financial habits today

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why behavior modification alone doesn’t lead to lasting change

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How curiosity, compassion, and regulation can bring freedom around finances

</li>
</ul>
<p>If budgeting makes you feel tense, finances trigger fear, or money conversations feel overwhelming, this episode will help you see your story through a new lens, one rooted in healing, awareness, and freedom rather than shame.</p>
<p>✨ This conversation is an invitation to stop fighting yourself and start understanding yourself so you can experience peace, safety, and confidence in this area of your life.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Parenting doesn’t suddenly get easier as kids grow — it just changes. In this honest and practical episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m joined by Nellie Harden, wife, mom of four daughters (ages 16–20), author, and speaker in family life and leadership, to talk all about what she calls “the great transition” — parenting in the middle years.</p>
<p>We dive into the real-life challenges and opportunities that come with raising teens and young adults, from setting healthy phone boundaries to understanding different learning styles, meeting your children where they are, and creating meaningful one-on-one time with each child. Nellie also shares powerful tools for staying calm when you’re overstimulated, emotionally taxed, or tempted to react instead of respond.</p>
<p>This conversation is a much-needed reminder that leadership in the home matters — especially in seasons of discipline, tension, and growth. Nellie encourages moms to lead by example, model emotional regulation, and create an environment where connection and character development can flourish.</p>
<p>If you’re a mom navigating the in-between — no longer in the little years, but not quite on the other side — this episode will leave you feeling encouraged, equipped, and reminded that you’re not alone in this season.</p>
<p>✨ In this episode, we talk about:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Parenting teens and young adults with wisdom and confidence

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Setting boundaries with phones and technology

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Understanding learning styles and meeting your kids where they are

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Creating intentional one-on-one time

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Staying calm when you feel overstimulated

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Leading by example in discipline and character

</li>
</ul>
<p>🎧 Tune in for encouragement, practical parenting wisdom, and a fresh perspective on raising the next generation well — even in the middle.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What if reading the Bible felt life-giving instead of overwhelming?</p>
<p>In this week’s episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with author Annie Weber, the heart and voice behind the book Astounding Truths. Annie’s passion is simple but powerful: helping people read God’s Word for themselves and truly understand it — not as religion, but as relationship.</p>
<p>Annie shares what inspired her to write Astounding Truths, a bite-sized, approachable guide to understanding the world’s best-selling book: the Bible. We talk about how learning Scripture transformed her faith, deepened her intimacy with God, and shifted her perspective from obligation to invitation.</p>
<p>If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent in reading the Bible, felt intimidated by Scripture, or wondered how to actually apply God’s Word to your everyday life, this conversation will meet you right where you are. Annie’s story will inspire you to open your Bible with fresh eyes, renewed confidence, and a desire to know God more deeply.</p>
<p>✨ This episode is an encouragement to stop outsourcing your faith and start digging into God’s Word — one truth at a time.</p>
<p>📖 You’ll walk away encouraged to:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Read the Bible with clarity and confidence</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Grow your relationship with God through understanding Scripture</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Stay consistent in the Word without pressure or perfection</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Use Astounding Truths as a practical tool for daily Bible study

We talk about how learning Scripture transformed her faith, deepened her intimacy with God, and shifted her perspective from obligation to invitation.
If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent in reading the Bible, felt intimidated by Scripture, or wondered how to actually apply God’s Word to your everyday life, this conversation will meet you right where you are. Annie’s story will inspire you to open your Bible with fresh eyes, renewed confidence, and a desire to know God more deeply.</itunes:summary>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>At the start of a new year, the noise of diet culture, quick fixes, and restrictive health trends is louder than ever. But what if true healing doesn’t start with another diet…it starts at the cellular level?</p>
<p>In this eye-opening episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m joined by Cynthia from Rooted Wellness, a live blood analyst who is helping women uncover the root causes of their health challenges and begin healing from the inside out. Instead of chasing symptoms, Cynthia looks directly at what’s happening inside the body by analyzing live blood — offering insight, clarity, and a personalized approach to wellness.</p>
<p>Visiting Cynthia was truly a life-changing experience for me, and I cannot recommend her work enough. This conversation pulls back the curtain on what our blood can reveal about inflammation, deficiencies, gut health, stress, and overall vitality — and why so many women stay stuck when they only treat symptoms instead of causes.</p>
<p>💡 In this episode, we talk about:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What live blood analysis is and how it works

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How looking at health from a cellular level changes everything

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Healing the body from the inside out instead of chasing quick fixes

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What to consider if you’re ready to make real, lasting changes in your health this year

</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’re tired of starting over every January, overwhelmed by health advice, or ready to finally understand what your body is trying to tell you — this episode will give you a fresh, empowering perspective.</p>
<p>✨ If you’re ready to make this the year you stop guessing and start healing, this conversation is for you.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>As 2025 comes to a close, it’s easy to fall into comparison, regret, or the pressure of feeling like you didn’t do enough. In this final episode of the year, we’re talking about reflection—not rumination.</p>
<p>This episode is an invitation to look back with grace, not judgment, and to move forward with faith, peace, and confidence in God’s timing. Drawing from Philippians 3:13–14, we explore what it means to press on toward the upward call of Christ Jesus—not by striving, but by trusting God with what has been planted, pruned, and grown in you this year.</p>
<p>You may not be where you want to be, but you are not where you used to be—and God is not finished with you yet.</p>
<p>In this episode, you’ll learn:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The difference between healthy reflection and harmful rumination

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to guard your mind against intrusive thoughts at the end of the year

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why God measures obedience, not outcomes

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to end 2025 with a clean heart and clear vision

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why you’re not starting over—you’re going deeper

</li>
</ul>
<p>I’m also inviting you to join my free 5-day Becoming a Woman of Value Challenge, designed to help you release striving, reset your identity in Christ, and step into the new year grounded in peace and purpose.</p>
<p>If you’re ready to stop carrying old weight into a new season and want to enter the next year aligned with who God says you are, this episode is for you.</p>
<p>✨ You are not behind.
 ✨ God is faithful.
 ✨ And the journey of becoming isn’t over—it’s just going deeper.</p>

<p>In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we dive into what it truly means to trust God in the middle and why the words we speak matter more than we often realize. As believers, we always have a choice: we can agree with fear, circumstances, and opinions or we can declare the Word of God over our lives and situations.</p>
<p>God’s Word is not just encouragement it is truth, and it always stands above feelings, culture, and human opinion. This episode will encourage you to anchor your faith in Scripture, speak life in uncertain seasons, and trust that God is working even when you can’t yet see the outcome.</p>
<p>Together, we reflect on powerful verses that remind us where our trust belongs. If you’re in a season of waiting, believing, or learning to silence the noise around you, this conversation will help you recenter your heart on God’s promises and remind you that what God says will always outweigh what the world thinks.</p>
<p>✨ Because when we speak His Word, we align ourselves with truth — and truth always leads us forward.</p>

This episode will encourage you to anchor your faith in Scripture, speak life in uncertain seasons, and trust that God is working even when you can’t yet see the outcome.</itunes:summary>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What does it really mean to live out your purpose as a follower of Christ?
 In this week’s episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with Anna McHaughlin for a powerful and refreshing conversation on trusting God in the middle, especially when it comes to discovering and walking in your God-given purpose.</p>
<p>Anna opens up about her own journey of trusting God through the unknowns and learning that purpose isn’t just about a position or platform… it’s about obedience, humility, and operating in your spiritual gifts right where you are.</p>
<p>If you’ve ever compared your journey to someone else’s, felt behind, or questioned what your “purpose” really looks like, this conversation will breathe fresh faith into your heart. You’ll be reminded that God’s timing is perfect, His plan is personal, and your purpose is already being worked out — even in the middle.</p>
<p>So grab your journal, press play, and be encouraged to trust God in the process and walk boldly in who He’s called you to be.</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in now for a heart-to-heart on:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What purpose really means for believers

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to identify and operate in your spiritual gifts

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Guarding your heart from comparison and pride

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Learning to walk humbly and trust God’s timing</li>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Today we’re kicking off a brand-new mini-series all about trusting God in the middle — those in-between seasons where the promise hasn’t fully come to pass, the prayers feel long, and yet we choose to believe anyway.</p>
<p>In this heartfelt conversation, I’m joined by my dear friend Cheyanne, who vulnerably opens up about her ongoing journey of believing for her husband’s salvation. Her story is raw, real, and such a powerful reminder that faith isn’t just about celebrating the finish line — it’s about trusting God deeply in the process.</p>
<p>The enemy loves to whisper lies that God isn’t faithful… that He’s silent, delayed, or uninterested in the details of our lives. But this episode pushes back against every single lie and points us back to the truth: God sees, God hears, and God moves… even when we can’t yet see the full picture.</p>
<p>Though Cheyanne is still very much in “the middle,” her story shines with unwavering trust, holy confidence, and a peace that truly surpasses understanding. She shares how her faith has shaped her, refined her, and anchored her heart through the ups and downs. Her testimony is a beautiful reminder that even in seasons of waiting, God is writing a story far greater than we can imagine — and His promises are still yes and amen.</p>
<p>If you’re in your own “middle” season, this conversation will breathe hope, encouragement, and renewed faith into your journey. You’re not alone, and God is not done.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What does it look like to grow a thriving business without the hustle — one that honors God, your family, and your peace?</p>
<p>In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with Stefanie Gass — Christian business and podcast coach, boy mom, seven-figure CEO, and host of the top 20 globally ranked show, Online Business for Christian Women.</p>

From burnout and striving to building a purpose-led business rooted in obedience, her story is a reminder that success doesn’t have to look like the world says it should.</p>
<p>If you’ve ever felt torn between your calling and your responsibilities — or wondered how to grow what God’s placed in your hands His way — this conversation will encourage you to slow down, seek His guidance, and trust that when you align your work with Heaven, fruitfulness will always follow.</p>
<p>💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to let go of the “social media hustle” and find rest in God’s plan

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Practical ways to invite God into your business strategy

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What it really means to redefine success as a woman of faith

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How podcasting can become your most powerful platform for impact and income

</li>
</ul>
<p>🎧 Tune in for an inspiring, faith-filled conversation that will remind you that partnering with God isn’t just possible — it’s the most powerful business strategy there is.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>We made it to Episode 100! And today’s milestone episode is a heartfelt celebration of God’s faithfulness, obedience, and the power of speaking life.</p>
<p>In this special episode, I take you all the way back to the exact day I launched this podcast—how nervous and excited I felt, how unqualified I thought I was, and the unforgettable message a friend sent me after listening to that very first episode. She spoke life, purpose, and prophetic encouragement over this show… and looking back now, she had no idea how accurate her words would be.</p>
<p>Because today, this podcast is a globally ranked show, reaching women all around the world with messages of hope, identity, and purpose in Christ. Only God could write a story like this.</p>
<p>To honor how far we’ve come, I’m doing something special:
 ✨ I’m replaying the very first episode — a “sweet repeat”... so you can hear where it all began.</p>
<p>Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’re just now joining this journey, this episode is a reminder that:</p>
<p>– God wastes nothing
 – Obedience opens doors you can’t see yet
 – Your “small beginning” is never small to Him
 – And He is absolutely faithful to finish what He starts</p>
<p>Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Here’s to the next 100 episodes — and everything God still has in store!</p>
<p>Listen in and celebrate with me!</p>

She spoke life, purpose, and prophetic encouragement over this show… and looking back now, she had <em>no idea</em> how accurate her words would be.</p>
<p>Because today, this podcast is a globally ranked show, reaching women all around the world with messages of hope, identity, and purpose in Christ. Only God could write a story like this.</p>
<p>To honor how far we’ve come, I’m doing something special:<br>
 ✨ I’m replaying the very first episode — a “sweet repeat”... so you can hear where it all began.</p>
<p>Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’re just now joining this journey, this episode is a reminder that:</p>
<p>– God wastes nothing<br>
 – Obedience opens doors you can’t see yet<br>
 – Your “small beginning” is never small to Him<br>
 – And He is absolutely faithful to finish what He starts</p>
<p>Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Here’s to the next 100 episodes — and everything God still has in store!</p>
<p>Listen in and celebrate with me!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>As the year winds down and the holidays roll in, it’s so easy to lose momentum. Maybe you started strong this year - focused, intentional, full of faith…but somewhere along the way, life got busy. The calendar filled up, routines slipped, and now you’re tempted to say, “I’ll just start fresh in the new year.”</p>
<p>But what if you didn’t have to wait for January 1st to get back on track?
 What if this season, right here in the middle of the hustle and bustle, could actually be the moment God teaches you what consistency really looks like?</p>
<p>In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we unpack 3 powerful keys to building consistency in your faith, habits, and daily life…especially when everything feels chaotic or out of rhythm. Remember, that consistency isn’t about perfection…it’s about progress. It’s showing up with what you have, trusting that God can multiply your small steps into something extraordinary.</p>
<p>You’ll learn how to:
 1️⃣ Forecast wisely - take an honest inventory of your current commitments, understand what this season actually requires of you, and plan from your present reality - not a past version of yourself.
 2️⃣ Identify the true voice of consistency - the one that sounds like an encourager, a “sis” cheering you on and reminding you of your why, not the voice of perfection that criticizes every mistake.
 3️⃣ Recenter your perspective with God’s truth - because as Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”</p>
<p>If you’ve been feeling inconsistent, distracted, or ready to hit the reset button, this episode will encourage you to redefine what consistency looks like and remind you that God honors your obedience - not your perfection.</p>
<p>✨ Because consistency isn’t about doing everything right - it’s about showing up, trusting God with the process, and believing that He’s still working, even in the middle.</p>
<p>Scriptures Referenced:</p>
<p>Galatians 6:9</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Ladies… it’s time to have the talk — the hormone talk! 😅
 In this week’s episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m sitting down with the amazing Monica Topete, women’s hormonal health coach and host of “Are You There Midlife? It’s Me, Monica.”</p>
<p>We’re getting real about all things hormones — from what’s really happening to your body in perimenopause and menopause, to the foods that can help (and the ones that can make things worse 🙈). Monica breaks down everything you’ve been wondering but haven’t gotten clear answers to — energy, mood swings, sleep, hot flashes, and more.</p>
<p>This conversation is honest, refreshing, and full of laughs — because let’s face it, midlife doesn’t have to feel like mayhem! You’ll walk away feeling seen, equipped, and reminded that you are absolutely not alone in this season.</p>
<p>✨ So grab your coffee (or green smoothie), lean in, and let’s talk about how to care for your body — with grace, wisdom, and maybe a few giggles along the way.</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in to this episode now and be sure to check out Monica’s podcast “Are You There Midlife? It’s Me, Monica” for even more midlife encouragement and education!</p>

What began as a season of fear and isolation became a testimony of courage, purpose, and unwavering trust in God’s plan.</p>
<p>Brittany shares how her diagnosis changed her perspective on life, motherhood, and calling — and how choosing to “do it scared” became her anthem for stepping into God’s purpose, even when nothing made sense. From walking through chemo to writing her first book, her story is a beautiful reminder that you are never too old, too far gone, or too late for the dreams God placed in your heart.</p>
<p>If you’ve ever faced a season of uncertainty or loss, this episode will encourage you to keep going, keep believing, and trust that God is still writing your story. Because it’s not about what we can do — it’s about how big our God is.</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in to be encouraged and reminded that even in life’s hardest battles, God is still faithful, and His plans for you are good.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In a world that glorifies hustle, visibility, and constant noise, God calls us to something radically different — a quiet life. In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we dive into what it truly means to live a quiet life that honors God, based on 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12.</p>
<p>You’ll discover the difference between a secret life that isolates and a quiet life that cultivates peace, purpose, and integrity. Together, we’ll unpack three biblical ways to slow down, tune out the world’s chaos, and tune into God’s voice.</p>
<p>✨ In this episode, we’ll explore how to:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Be grounded in God’s presence instead of people’s approval

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Stay faithful and steward what’s in front of you

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Choose integrity over image in every area of your life

</li>
</ul>
<p>This episode will encourage you to stop striving for validation and start living from a place of rest and confidence in who God created you to be.</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in to find peace in God’s presence and learn how to live a quiet life that speaks volumes about His goodness.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Motherhood is one of the greatest gifts from God, yet so many moms carry the heavy weight of guilt and shame. In this encouraging episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with guest Jennifer Bosma, speaker and encourager of mamas, to talk about how to release mom guilt and walk in the freedom Christ offers.</p>
<p>Jennifer shares practical, faith-filled wisdom on how to invite more of Jesus into your daily life with your children and shift your focus from the horizontal (what the world expects) to the vertical (what God calls us to). You’ll leave this conversation feeling encouraged, equipped, and renewed with the truth that you don’t have to do it all…and that God’s grace is more than enough.</p>
<p>If you’ve ever struggled with the pressure to be the “perfect mom,” this episode will give you practical tools, spiritual encouragement, and a fresh perspective on what it really means to embrace motherhood as a gift from God.</p>
<p>👉 Tune in to discover how you can release the burden of guilt and experience more joy, peace, and freedom in your motherhood journey</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Are you feeling both nervous and excited about stepping into something new? That mix of emotions—what I like to call being “nercivited”—isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s actually a sign of growth. In this episode of Overwhelmed to Overcomer, we explore the power of eustress—the “good stress” that motivates us to grow, take courageous steps, and walk in God’s purpose for our lives.</p>
<p>We’ll look at how anticipation (whether it’s starting a new job, planning a vacation, trying a new workout, or pursuing a new relationship) can stretch us in healthy ways. More importantly, we’ll dive into what Scripture says about stepping into these moments with faith. Through Joshua 1:9 and Joshua 3:5, we see God’s call to be strong and courageous, and His promise to do amazing things when we walk in courageous obedience.</p>
<p>By the end of this episode, you’ll discover how to:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Reframe “nervous energy” as a tool for spiritual and personal growth

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Step into new opportunities with courage, not fear

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Trust God’s presence as you prepare for His amazing work in your life

</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your stress into strength, this conversation will encourage and equip you to lean into God’s stretching seasons with joy and confidence.</p>
<p>👉 Scripture References: Joshua 1:9, Joshua 3:5</p>
<p>✨ Be ready to identify your own “nercivited” moments and see them as holy invitations to grow into all God has for you.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to a deeply personal episode of The Journey to Becoming. 💛 Today, I’m sharing my story of grief and healing after losing loved ones to suicide — and how, even 14 years later, God is still bringing restoration into my life.</p>
<p>Grief and joy are not opposites. They can coexist. 🌿 While grief is a natural response to deep loss, joy is a supernatural gift that flows from standing firm in God’s Word and His promises. In this episode, I open up about the process of shifting from asking “why” in our pain to asking “what” — What does God say about me? What does His Word reveal about who He is? What healing and purpose does He want to bring through this story?</p>
<p>We’ll talk about:
 ✨ The power of God to heal even the deepest wounds.
 ✨ Why we can’t listen to the lies of the enemy in our pain.
 ✨ How to lean into God’s truth for strength, comfort, and renewal.
 ✨ Scriptures that remind us that joy and grief can walk hand in hand.</p>
<p>If you’ve walked through the devastating pain of suicide loss, or you’re carrying any kind of grief, this episode will remind you that God has not abandoned you. He is still writing your story, and His restoration is greater than any loss. 🙏</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in now to be encouraged, strengthened, and reminded that even in the darkest valleys, joy is possible when we stand firm on the Word of God.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever felt like you’re behind in life because things didn’t happen on the timeline you imagined? In this heartfelt episode of The Journey to Becoming, I open up about turning 40 and the lessons God is teaching me about time, growth, and trusting His perfect plan.</p>
<p>The world and culture want us to believe that success has an expiration date—that we should have achieved certain milestones by a certain age. The enemy wants to whisper lies that we’ve wasted time, missed out, or haven’t accomplished enough. But here’s the truth: God is not limited by time, and neither are you. His plans are higher, His timing is perfect, and every year of life is a gift filled with opportunities to grow, flourish, and walk in His purpose.</p>
<p>In this episode, I’ll remind you that:
 ✨ You are not behind—you are right where God needs you to be.
 ✨ Time is not your enemy—God can redeem and restore every moment.
 ✨ Each year is a chance to celebrate life, growth, and God’s goodness.</p>
<p>If you’ve been wrestling with feeling “late” in life or questioning your progress, this episode will breathe encouragement into your spirit and help you anchor your heart in God’s truth.</p>
<p>🎧 Press play and be reminded: there are no time limits with God.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Are you tired of feeling stuck in cycles of negative thinking and self-defeating narratives? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, I sit down with Christian mental health coach Karla Arges to talk about the power of our language, renewing our minds, and shifting from lies to God’s truth.</p>
<p>Carla has a passion for helping women break free from toxic thought patterns by combining biblical truth and science-backed evidence. Together, we explore how the words we speak—and the thoughts we dwell on—can either keep us trapped or propel us toward the fullness of life God has called us to live.</p>
<p>If you’ve been overwhelmed by the negative stories you tell yourself, this episode will give you:
 ✨ Practical tools to renew your mind and replace lies with truth
 ✨ A fresh perspective on how to speak life over your circumstances
 ✨ Encouragement that you can literally rewire your brain with God’s Word</p>
<p>It’s time to stop letting negative narratives hold you back. Step into freedom, speak God’s truth, and walk in the confidence of who He says you are.</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in and be encouraged—you don’t have to stay stuck in your old story.</p>
<p>I pray this blesses you, </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever tried to restart an old routine that once worked perfectly, only to find it no longer fits your life today? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, I’m talking about what it really means to “start again” with grace, intentionality, and God at the center. Instead of trying to force yourself back into a system or routine that worked in a past season, I’ll walk you through how to create a rhythm that works for where you are right now.</p>
<p>We’ll dive into:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why the routines that served you in the past may not serve you in your current season

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to stop shaming yourself for “falling off track” and instead embrace a fresh start

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Practical steps to design a sustainable system that aligns with your faith, priorities, and daily responsibilities

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to invite God into the process so that your routines are more than just habits—they’re life-giving rhythms that help you flourish

</li>
</ul>
<p>Whether you’re juggling motherhood, navigating career changes, or just feeling stuck in overwhelm, this conversation will give you the tools and encouragement you need to reset with confidence. You don’t have to go back to the old version of you to move forward—you can start fresh today.</p>
<p>If you’ve been craving clarity, consistency, and a routine that actually feels doable, this episode will remind you that starting again isn’t a setback—it’s a new opportunity for growth.</p>
<p>Scriptures Referenced:</p>
<p>Matthew 9:17</p>
<p>Mark 2:22</p>
<p>Luke 5:37-39</p>
<p>I pray this blesses you, </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Week 9 — the final week of Fruitful Girl Summer! 🌸 This week, we’re tackling a fruit of the Spirit that can be one of the hardest to master — self-control.</p>
<p>The world often tells us to “follow our feelings,” but God calls us to live led by the Spirit, not by our impulses. 💪 In this episode, I’m sharing what the Bible says about self-control, how it protects your purpose, and why it’s a key to living in freedom rather than bondage.</p>
<p>✨ We’ll dig into scriptures like Galatians 5:19-21 and Titus 2:11-12, and talk about how self-control impacts everything from your thoughts and words to your habits and relationships. You’ll discover how it’s not about willpower alone, but about relying on the Holy Spirit to help you choose what’s best over what’s easy.</p>
<p>👀 PLUS: I’m giving you this week’s self-control challenge and reflection questions to help you put what you learn into action — so you don’t just hear the Word, but live it.</p>
<p>Whether you’re working on breaking unhealthy patterns, creating new routines, or guarding your heart and mind, this episode will give you practical tools and spiritual encouragement to walk in discipline and grace. 💛</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in, share with your girl gang, and let’s finish Fruitful Girl Summer strong — becoming the women God has called us to be, from the inside out.</p>
<p>Scriptures Referenced: </p>
<p>Galatians 5:22-23</p>
<p>John 15: 1-8</p>

                <itunes:summary>Welcome to Week 9 — the final week of Fruitful Girl Summer! 🌸 This week, we’re tackling a fruit of the Spirit that can be one of the hardest to master — self-control.
The world often tells us to “follow our feelings,” but God calls us to live led by the Spirit, not by our impulses. 💪 In this episode, I’m sharing what the Bible says about self-control, how it protects your purpose, and why it’s a key to living in freedom rather than bondage.
✨ We’ll dig into scriptures like Galatians 5:19-21 and Titus 2:11-12, and talk about how self-control impacts everything from your thoughts and words to your habits and relationships. You’ll discover how it’s not about willpower alone, but about relying on the Holy Spirit to help you choose what’s best over what’s easy.</itunes:summary>

<p>✨ We’ll look at key scriptures like Matthew 11:29 and Proverbs 15:1 — and reflect on how practicing gentleness is a powerful witness of the character of Christ.</p>

<p>Welcome to Week 6 of Fruitful Girl Summer —What does it really mean to be good? In today’s episode of The Journey to Becoming, we’re diving deep into the fruit of the Spirit called goodness—and how it’s so much more than being “nice” or doing the right thing for show. 💛</p>
<p>Goodness is rooted in the uprightness of heart and life, a reflection of our Heavenly Father who is always good and has good plans for us. As we remain in Him and abide in His Word, He begins to transform our hearts, not just our behavior.</p>

 ✨ The connection between abiding in Christ and becoming more like Him
 ✨ Encouragement to reflect the goodness of God in a world that desperately needs it</p>
<p>Plus, don’t miss this week’s daily challenge to put hidden goodness into action—and watch how God works through it. 🌱</p>
<p>Let’s become women whose hearts reflect our Good Father. Press play and be reminded that you’re being transformed from the inside out. 💫</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>This week’s Fruitful Girl Summer episode is extra special because I’m joined by my sweet 11-year-old daughter to talk all about kindness—what it means, how it impacts others, and why it matters so much to God. 💛</p>
<p>We’re diving into Colossians 3:12 and other powerful scriptures that show us how kindness isn’t just being “nice”—it’s a reflection of Jesus’ heart. His kindness leads us to repentance, transformation, and freedom. In this conversation, we share real-life stories (including one from a recent dance competition!) and practical ways to grow in kindness as a family.</p>
<p>This is a great episode to listen to with your kids, or share with your mom group or church community. We pray it encourages meaningful conversations in your home and reminds you that small acts of kindness can make a big Kingdom impact.</p>
<p>🎧 Tune in, talk about it with your family, and don’t forget to tag us as you complete your Fruitful Girl Summer kindness challenge this week!</p>

<p>✨ Welcome to Week 4 of Fruitful Girl Summer! ✨
 This week, we’re talking all about 🍓 Patience — the kind that reflects the heart of our loving, faithful, and patient God.</p>
<p>Let’s be real: patience doesn’t come easy in a world that wants everything right now. Whether you're stuck in traffic, waiting for a prayer to be answered, or growing weary with people or even yourself… we all have moments where our patience wears thin. But here’s the truth: God is patient with us—it's in His nature. And as daughters of God, we are called to mirror that same kind of grace.</p>
<p>In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we’ll explore how to become more self-aware of the areas in our life where patience is needed most. You’ll be invited to slow down, check your heart, and ask:
 💭 Where am I struggling to wait well?
 💭 Who or what is testing my patience?
 💭 Am I extending the same grace to others that God has given to me?</p>
<p>🌼 Plus, you’ll get a simple but powerful Fruitful Girl Daily Challenge to help you practice patience on purpose today.</p>
<p>This episode is for the woman who’s ready to stop striving, start trusting, and embrace the slow, steady work God is doing in her life. You’re not being delayed—you’re being developed. 💕</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>🌸 Fruitful Girl Summer! 🍓</p>
<p>Welcome to Week 3 of Fruitful Girl Summer —our 9-week journey walking through the fruit of the Spirit as found in Galatians 5:22–23. This week, we’re leaning into the gift and fruit of PEACE 🕊️—a peace that doesn’t come from your circumstances, but from the presence of God Himself.</p>
<p>In this episode, we’re looking at:</p>
<p>🌊 How God promises peace that flows like a river (Isaiah 66:12)
 💪 What it means for peace to surpass all understanding (Philippians 4:6–7)
 🤝 Why Jesus calls us blessed when we choose to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9)
 🌾 How discipline and repentance lead to a peaceful harvest in our lives (Hebrews 12:11)</p>
<p>Peace isn’t passive—it’s powerful. 🙏 In order to truly receive the peace God has for us, we must also be willing to let go of what’s stealing it. That might mean repenting, releasing control, or saying no to distractions that keep you from abiding in Christ.</p>
<p>✨ Don’t forget: at the end of this episode, you’ll find your Peace Challenge of the Week to help you practice walking in the fruit of peace in a tangible way. Be sure to screenshot it, share it, and tag me so I can cheer you on! 🎉</p>
<p>👯‍♀️ Invite a friend to join you in the challenge—because growing fruitfully is even better in community.</p>
<p>Let’s keep becoming the women God created us to be—full of peace and anchored in His presence. 💖</p>

                <itunes:summary>Welcome to Week 3 of Fruitful Girl Summer —our 9-week journey walking through the fruit of the Spirit as found in Galatians 5:22–23. This week, we’re leaning into the gift and fruit of PEACE 🕊️—a peace that doesn’t come from your circumstances, but from the presence of God Himself.
In this episode, we’re looking at:
🌊 How God promises peace that flows like a river (Isaiah 66:12)
 💪 What it means for peace to surpass all understanding (Philippians 4:6–7)
 🤝 Why Jesus calls us blessed when we choose to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9)
 🌾 How discipline and repentance lead to a peaceful harvest in our lives (Hebrews 12:11)
Peace isn’t passive—it’s powerful. 🙏 In order to truly receive the peace God has for us, we must also be willing to let go of what’s stealing it. That might mean repenting, releasing control, or saying no to distractions that keep you from abiding in Christ.</itunes:summary>

<p>🌸 Fruitful Girl Summer! 🍓</p>
<p>Welcome to Week 2 of the Fruitful Girl Summer series! Today we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood fruits of the Spirit — JOY. We’re unpacking how the joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and why joy isn’t just a fleeting feeling tied to good circumstances — it’s a spiritual decision that brings strength, freedom, and peace, even in the middle of trials, grief, or uncertainty.</p>
<p>We’ll talk about what Biblical joy really is, how it coexists with hard seasons, and how to anchor your heart in the unchanging goodness of God. Whether your summer feels like sunshine or a storm, this episode is your reminder that joy is not only possible, it’s powerful.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever had a moment where God showed up in the most unexpected, tiny detail—and it changed everything? In this heartfelt episode of The Journey to Becoming, I’m sharing a very personal story of how God met me during a week of emotional highs and lows. It all started with another podcast about the power of having a designated prayer space, and what happened next reminded me just how intimately God sees and cares for every part of our lives.</p>
<p>Through a simple gift—a chair—I felt a divine invitation to deepen my time with the Lord and create space for breakthrough prayer. This episode is about so much more than furniture; it’s about recognizing the voice of God in the small things, growing in intimacy with Him, and learning to keep our eyes open for His presence in every corner of our lives.</p>
<p>If you’ve ever wondered whether God is really paying attention to the little things, this episode is for you. Let it encourage you to believe again that nothing goes unnoticed by our loving Father.</p>
<p>👉 Press play to be reminded that He sees you, He speaks, and He still provides—often in the most unexpected ways.</p>
<p>Scriptures Referenced:</p>
<p>Psalm 37:23-24 NLT</p>
<p>I pray this blesses you, </p>

In this heartfelt episode of <em>The Journey to Becoming,</em> I’m sharing a very personal story of how God met me during a week of emotional highs and lows. It all started with another podcast about the power of having a designated prayer space, and what happened next reminded me just how intimately God sees and cares for every part of our lives.</p>
<p>Through a simple gift—a chair—I felt a divine invitation to deepen my time with the Lord and create space for breakthrough prayer. This episode is about so much more than furniture; it’s about recognizing the voice of God in the small things, growing in intimacy with Him, and learning to keep our eyes open for His presence in every corner of our lives.</p>
<p>If you’ve ever wondered whether God is really paying attention to the little things, this episode is for you. Let it encourage you to believe again that <em>nothing</em> goes unnoticed by our loving Father.</p>
<p>👉 Press play to be reminded that He sees you, He speaks, and He still provides—often in the most unexpected ways.</p>
<p>Scriptures Referenced:</p>
<p>Psalm 37:23-24 NLT</p>
<p>I pray this blesses you, </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this powerful and deeply honest episode, I’m joined by Callie Gualy—faith-filled Pilates instructor and founder of Sunshine Pilates. We dive into a much-needed conversation about body image, mindset, and what true freedom in Christ looks like when we renounce the things that aren’t from God.</p>
<p>Callie shares her personal journey of walking away from new age influences, finding her rhythm in motherhood, and learning to honor the body God gave her—not just for how it looks, but for how strong it is. Together, we talk about the often unspoken pressure on women to stay small, quiet, or ashamed—when God has actually called us to live boldly and walk in truth.</p>
<p>This episode is an invitation to silence fear, doubt, and failure—and to start walking in the confidence and freedom that only Jesus gives. Whether you’re struggling with body shame, feeling stuck spiritually, or needing a reminder that obedience opens doors, this conversation will meet you right where you are.</p>
<p>👉 Listen now and be encouraged to step into the strength, peace, and purpose God has for you.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Are you unknowingly harming your mental health while trying to do it all, be everything to everyone, and still grow spiritually? In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into 10 surprisingly common ways women sabotage their mental health—and how to take your peace, purpose, and power back.</p>
<p>Whether it’s constant comparison, people-pleasing, or ignoring your emotional and spiritual needs, this conversation is your gentle wake-up call and your invitation to real, biblical healing.</p>
<p>As a woman on the journey to becoming all that God created you to be, your mental health matters. It's time to stop living on autopilot and start identifying what’s keeping you stuck—so you can walk in freedom, clarity, and purpose.</p>
<p>We’ll explore:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The lie of “doing it all” and why overcommitment is stealing your peace

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to let go of emotional suppression and allow God into your healing

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The single mindset shift that can change how you see yourself and your worth</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or spiritually stuck—this episode is for you.</p>
<p>Scriptures Referenced:</p>
<p>Galatians 6:4–5</p>
<p>Psalm 34:18</p>
<p>Matthew 11:28–30</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this final episode of our Relationship Mini-Series, I’m so excited to bring on a very special guest—my husband! Together, we’re having a real, unfiltered conversation about how communication has shaped and strengthened our marriage over the years.</p>
<p>We know firsthand how tempting it can be to avoid difficult conversations, especially when emotions run high or it feels safer to stay silent. But through a lot of trial and error (and God's grace!), we’ve discovered that working through the hard conversations—even when it’s messy—leads to deeper trust, stronger unity, and true emotional intimacy.</p>
<p>In this episode, we’re sharing super practical ways you can start improving your communication today, no matter what season your marriage is in. Plus, we’re opening up about one major shift we made in our communication over the last five years that completely transformed how we relate to and support each other.</p>
<p>Marriage takes work, intentionality, and a whole lot of grace — but it is always, always worth it. If you’re craving better connection, more honest conversations, and a stronger foundation with your spouse, this conversation is for you.</p>
<p>👉 Lean in for real talk, practical encouragement, and hope for your marriage journey. You are not alone—and there’s so much beauty on the other side of choosing to grow together.</p>
<p>I pray this blesses you, </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we're joined by Shayla Huber—author of “10 Things I Hate About My Husband: How God Healed My Heart, Restored My Marriage &amp; Set Me Free.” Shayla vulnerably shares her journey of frustration, brokenness, and ultimately, spiritual transformation.</p>
<p>You’ll hear how it wasn’t her husband who needed to change first—it was her own heart that needed healing. Through her relationship with God, Shayla found freedom, perspective, and restoration in her marriage that she never imagined possible.</p>
<p>If you’re feeling stuck, discouraged, or even resentful in your relationship, this episode offers hope and encouragement from a woman who’s been there. This conversation is a reminder that true healing and lasting change start with us—and that with God, restoration is always possible.</p>
<p>👉 Tune in for a refreshing perspective shift, biblical truth, and encouragement for your own marriage journey. This one will meet you right where you are.</p>

The journey to becoming all that God has called you to be isn’t always easy—but quitting is not an option. In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, we’re diving into why it’s so important to keep pushing forward, even when things feel hard and how the right environment can make all the difference in your growth.</p>
<p>God has promised us an abundant life, but that doesn’t mean it comes without effort. Sometimes, we need to shift our mindset, surround ourselves with the right people, and trust that God is working, even when we can’t see it.</p>
<p>In this episode, I’ll be sharing:
 ✨ The danger of quitting too soon and how to push past the urge to give up
 🌱 How your environment impacts your growth and why the right people matter
 🔥 Encouragement to keep moving forward—because God didn’t place that dream in you by accident</p>
<p>If you’ve ever questioned whether you have what it takes or wondered if you’re really called to this, this episode is for you. Tune in now and be reminded that you are right where God wants you, and your breakthrough is on the other side of perseverance!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What if the transformation you’ve been searching for isn’t just physical, but spiritual? Today on The Journey to Becoming, we’re joined by Ondrea Lynn, whose incredible story of faith, freedom, and healing will inspire you.</p>
<p>For years, Ondrea was celebrated in magazines for her 75-pound weight loss, but behind the scenes, she was entangled in New Age and occult practices for over 30 years. It wasn’t until she encountered Jesus that her true transformation began; healing her mind, body, and soul from the inside out.</p>
<p>In this episode, Ondrea shares:
✨ How she broke free from New Age deception and found truth in Christ
✨ The connection between her spiritual freedom and physical transformation
✨ What she’s gained since surrendering her life fully to Jesus</p>
<p>If you’ve ever sought healing, struggled with identity, or dabbled in New Age spirituality, this conversation is a must-listen. Tune in and be encouraged; Jesus redeems, restores, and makes all things new!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, we ask the powerful question: "When was the last time you stopped to acknowledge how far you’ve come?" As women, we often focus on what we haven’t achieved yet, but it's essential to take a moment and celebrate our progress. Join me as we dive into why we struggle to recognize our growth, how God views our journey, and how to shift our mindset from self-criticism to self-celebration.</p>
<p>We’ll explore:
✨ Why women often feel “not enough” and how to break free from comparison and perfectionism
✨ How God delights in our progress, not perfection
✨ Practical steps to celebrate your growth and step confidently into the woman God created you to be</p>
<p>If you’ve ever felt like you're not “there” yet, this episode is for you. It’s time to reflect on your journey, celebrate yourself, and embrace the grace that God has already given you.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this powerful episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with fashion content creator Vanessa Moynihan, who shares her incredible testimony of coming to faith after growing up in a home where God was never discussed.</p>
<p>Vanessa skyrocketed to success as a fashion influencer, going viral and amassing a huge following on social media. Yet, despite the fame and opportunities, she felt an emptiness she couldn’t ignore. It wasn’t until she hired someone to help with her social media – who happened to be a strong believer – that she was introduced to Jesus in a life-changing way. In our conversation, Vanessa opens up about:</p>
<p>
✨ How she navigated the tension between social media success and her newfound faith
✨ The moment she realized that no amount of influence could fill the void only God could
✨ Why being rooted in authentic community has been essential to her spiritual growth
✨ Practical tips on how to start—even when you feel like a failure or fear failing
✨ What it truly means to live for the audience of One rather than the approval of the world</p>
<p>If you’ve ever struggled with fear of failure, seeking validation from others, or feeling like you don’t know where to start in your faith journey, this episode is for you. Vanessa’s story is a beautiful reminder that no matter where you come from, God’s love can meet you exactly where you are.</p>
<p>Scriptures Referenced:</p>
<p>Philippians 4:6-7</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever feel stuck in a cycle of distractions, low energy, or lack of motivation? You’re not alone—and the good news is, there’s a way to reset and re-energize your life! In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we’re diving into the concept of a Dopamine Menu, a powerful tool for cultivating joy, motivation, and intentional living.</p>
<p>In a world that constantly pulls us toward quick fixes and overstimulation—like endless scrolling, junk food, or binge-watching—our natural dopamine system can become overwhelmed. But by intentionally choosing healthy, life-giving activities, we can break free from this cycle and step into a life of deeper fulfillment and purpose.</p>
<p>Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
1️⃣ What is a Dopamine Menu? Discover how creating a curated list of joy-filled activities can help you shift from unhealthy habits to meaningful actions that fuel your motivation and emotional well-being.
2️⃣ How to Build Your Own Dopamine Menu: Simple, actionable steps to identify activities that bring you peace, align with your faith and values, and fit seamlessly into your daily life.
3️⃣ Examples of Joy-Filled Activities: Explore quick, medium, and immersive ideas—from gratitude journaling and listening to your favorite worship song to nature walks and creative hobbies—that can renew your focus and uplift your spirit.</p>
<p>This episode will inspire you to take charge of your emotional and mental well-being, align your actions with God’s purpose, and design a life full of intentional, joy-filled moments.</p>

You’re not alone—and the good news is, there’s a way to reset and re-energize your life! In this episode of <em>The Journey to Becoming Podcast</em>, we’re diving into the concept of a Dopamine Menu, a powerful tool for cultivating joy, motivation, and intentional living.</p>

<p>Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:<br>
1️⃣ What is a Dopamine Menu? Discover how creating a curated list of joy-filled activities can help you shift from unhealthy habits to meaningful actions that fuel your motivation and emotional well-being.<br>
2️⃣ How to Build Your Own Dopamine Menu: Simple, actionable steps to identify activities that bring you peace, align with your faith and values, and fit seamlessly into your daily life.<br>
3️⃣ Examples of Joy-Filled Activities: Explore quick, medium, and immersive ideas—from gratitude journaling and listening to your favorite worship song to nature walks and creative hobbies—that can renew your focus and uplift your spirit.</p>
<p>This episode will inspire you to take charge of your emotional and mental well-being, align your actions with God’s purpose, and design a life full of intentional, joy-filled moments.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Does the word “discipline” make you cringe or feel overwhelmed? You’re not alone. Many women struggle with staying consistent, battling distractions, and feeling stuck in cycles of guilt when their efforts to grow fall short. But what if discipline isn’t about restriction, but about gaining the freedom to become the woman God created you to be?</p>
<p>In this heartfelt episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we’re diving deep into why discipline is a game-changer for women who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next steps. Together, we’ll address the challenges women face with discipline and how to reframe it as a tool for freedom and transformation.</p>
<p>Here’s what we’ll uncover:
1️⃣ Discipline as the Foundation for Growth: Why you can’t fully step into God’s purpose without intentional habits and consistency.
2️⃣ Sharpening Your Focus: How discipline clears out the noise, reduces overwhelm, and helps you prioritize what truly matters.
3️⃣ The Power of Alignment: How saying “no” to distractions and things outside of God’s calling creates space for clarity, peace, and freedom in your life.</p>
<p>If you’ve been struggling with juggling responsibilities, feeling scattered, or doubting your ability to stay on track, this episode is for you. It’s time to embrace discipline not as a burden, but as a key to living a life of joy, purpose, and alignment with God’s plan.</p>
<p>Scriptures Referenced: </p>
<p>Hebrews 12:11</p>
<p>Proverbs 10:17 </p>
<p>Proverbs 15:32</p>
<p>I pray this blesses you, </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey girl, today we dive into the transformative journey of Becoming Her in 2025—the woman God has uniquely created you to be. Drawing from Isaiah 43:18-19, which reminds us, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” We explore how to release old versions of yourself and step boldly into the new identity God is calling you to embrace.</p>
<p>In this episode, we’ll discuss:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Who are you becoming in this season of your life?</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What old habits, mindsets, or labels will you shed and leave behind?</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Practical steps to partner with God in stepping into your purpose and calling.</li>

She shares with us her passion in serving ambitious former female athletes helping them excel personally and professionally.</p>
<p>Our thoughts shape our lives, and renewing our minds is a key part of living fully in Christ. If you’ve ever felt stuck or held back by your past, this episode will encourage and equip you to take captive your thoughts and TRAIN them so you can step into the freedom and identity God has for you.</p>
<p>Tune in and be reminded that transformation starts in the mind—and that your true identity is found in Christ!</p>

<li style="font-weight:400;">Remind you that nothing is too broken for God to make whole.</li>

Friendships are a gift from God and as believers we are called to sharpen each other as scripture reminds us…but what does that even mean? How do you begin to form Godly friendships? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>For the woman who is on her journey to becoming all that God has created her to be, we must also value the gift of honesty; whether that’s being honest in what you are going through or even how to honestly share your feelings with a trusted friend. We also need to remember that there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother, Jesus. He wants to be in relationship with YOU! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scriptures Referenced:</p>
<p>Proverbs 27:17 </p>
<p>1 Corinthians 13:4-8</p>
<p>Numbers 12:7</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I pray this blesses you, </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Living a thankful and grateful life is not something that only takes place during Thanksgiving…it is how we are called to live as followers of Christ. This week we are looking at simple and practical ways to live our life generously and thanking God for all He has given us and provided for us. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season that is quickly upon us we want to skip over being thankful and run into the busyness and the doing, doing, doing. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Taking the time to slow down and focus on what truly matters changes the atmosphere of our mind and our hearts. I know you have so many things pulling you in different directions and I am confident that after this episode you will have great reminders, tools and resources to live a thankful life.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>April Lockhart is our guest today and we are talking about all things purpose! Isn’t it so funny how sometimes we look at the very thing that sets us apart as something that God cannot use? As we dive into April’s story you will quickly learn that the way God is using her and her platform is how He wants to use all of us…just as we are. April was born without a fully formed left hand and has coined the term “disabled fashion girlie” </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Although she would pray for God to heal her as a little girl, she has grown to fully embrace how she has been created, not just for her, but for those around her as well. Just like the rest of us, April is on her journey to becoming and I know you will be encouraged and touched by her story and the amazing doors that are opening for her. </p>

                <itunes:summary>April Lockhart is our guest today and we are talking about all things purpose! Isn’t it so funny how sometimes we look at the very thing that sets us apart as something that God cannot use? As we dive into April’s story you will quickly learn that the way God is using her and her platform is how He wants to use all of us…just as we are. April was born without a fully formed left hand and has coined the term “disabled fashion girlie” 

Although she would pray for God to heal her as a little girl, she has grown to fully embrace how she has been created, not just for her, but for those around her as well. Just like the rest of us, April is on her journey to becoming and I know you will be encouraged and touched by her story and the amazing doors that are opening for her.</itunes:summary>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever been overwhelmed by all of the health and wellness information that is out there? Today we get to hear from Dr. Jeff Barke who is known on social media for his quick “morning message” that informs you of the truth you need to know when it comes to your health. Dr. Barke is a board certified Primary Care Physician in Southern California and is a straight shooter who reminds us to not be perfect, but to start small and do better. We can get behind that, right?! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The environments that we choose to be in and cultivate are crucial to our growth and the same is true for our health. I am confident that after listening to this episode you will be equipped and have at least one thing that you know you can begin to implement today in becoming that better, healthier version of you! </p>

Tamika is a coach, speaker, podcaster &amp; author with a wealth of knowledge and has so many great tools to help you first create a boundary with yourself. Pushing pause on the negative and pushing play on the positive…focusing on what God says about you, how He is for you and how He created you. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Once you understand the gift of boundaries, you will be able to experience the true freedom that God has for you in all areas of life! Yes, it can be a little scary or intimidating especially for the old, people pleasing versions of ourselves that sometimes want to resurface. Starting small &amp; being vulnerable is essential in your Journey to Becoming, get your pens and paper, you are going to want to take notes on this episode! </p>

<p>Once you understand the gift of boundaries, you will be able to experience the true freedom that God has for you in all areas of life!

Reading books is such a great way to learn from those that have gone before you and have wisdom in the areas you are intentional about pursuing. I believe that there are a few simple &amp; practical things that you can do while you are reading to ensure that you can live out what you are reading and allow time for transformation to take place. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The books that have marked my life in the best ways have been in the genre of Christianity and Personal Development from Christian authors. This is our Journey to Becoming and we need to take action in being lifelong learners and being responsible in applying it in our everyday lives! </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>We are back for Part 2 of the Motherhood Series and talking about all things CONFIDENCE. Where does it ultimately come from and how can we continue to develop it as our Motherhood progresses. So many of us don’t even like to admit this is an area we need help with and in choosing that we will remain in feelings of frustration, exhaustion and isolation. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I read a quote that says “I will not waste today believing things you did not say” and I believe that so many of us can relate with allowing the lies or fears as moms rule our minds. But not anymore, after this episode I hope that you can put into practice some of the tools shared as you remain on your Journey to Becoming and how putting yourself first is essential to remaining confident in your Mom Life Era. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remember that you are not alone and you are worth the work!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>I read a quote that says “I will not waste today believing things you did not say” and I believe that so many of us can relate with allowing the lies or fears as moms rule our minds.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Motherhood- the craziest hood out there!  This episode is the beginning of a mini-series on Motherhood and I wanted to start off with how important it is to stay committed to your healing. Jesus may be in your heart, but Grandpa is still in your bones meaning that past trauma- if not dealt with will continue to transfer through your lineage, if you aren’t willing to do something about it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are familiar with the term “stronghold”, all families have them, it’s something that has a “strong hold” that may have lasted for generations such as addiction, abuse, anger, and in my family… suicide. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had to come to terms with the fact that I will need to heal from the lack mentality that showed up in my life that was caused by my mother taking her life. In order for me to pass down blessings to my children and future legacy, I will have to stay committed to allow God to heal my life so that I can be that cycle breaker. Let’s be the ones who stay committed to our healing! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scripture Referenced: 2 Kings 20:5</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Today I wanted to share a little more of my story with you and the significance of this new month we are stepping into. Hello, September- it has been one of high-highs and low-lows from my birthday &amp; wedding anniversary and also the tragic loss of my brother. Who you surround yourself with in life matters, especially when you are on your healing journey. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>No matter what type of loss or trial you may have experienced or are currently facing- culture can tell us something completely different than what God’s word does. God reminds us in His word that when we go through trials and are tested that when we have the right perspective our endurance will grow and we will lack nothing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It’s one thing to read those words and be encouraged when everything is going well, and it is another thing to have to live those words out. Isolation, fear and doubt will always try to get the best of you, but we serve a God that has promised us everything in abundance and more than we can expect. I hope that you find comfort in that truth today! </p>

Today we are talking about how to no longer let your fears keep you stuck in life. It sounds way easier said than done, and when you realize that the waiting game you are playing is only prolonging your growth, you might start to change your mindset.

I am sure we can all come up with huge lists of the things that we would hope to accomplish. But what if you changed your perspective of the role that fear could play in your life?! What if you decided to face those fears and even bring them along with you?! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today we are talking about how to no longer let your fears keep you stuck in life. It sounds way easier said than done, and when you realize that the waiting game you are playing is only prolonging your growth, you might start to change your mindset. WIll you allow fear to continue to play on your insecurities or will you allow what God says about you to face them head on and step into the abundance that you have been promised. </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Listen friend, we have all said those infamous words “I’m just so busy”, “ I have no time” or “ I need to have better time management”...but have we really done anything about it?! Saying this with love and speaking from experience because this was something I had to take responsibility for as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The reality is that managing our time will be something that we will be constantly doing because life happens, seasons change and we are always in that process of becoming. As you listen I want you to take responsibility for the area(s) that you know need to change for the better. I believe that once you do, it will become a domino effect that over time will lead to huge results in your life! </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey friend! We say we need more of it in our lives [consistency], but are we willing to ask ourselves WHAT that actually means!? In part 1 of this “mini” series I am challenging you to look at your life and the things you desire, and then begin to ask yourself where you are making time for them to show up. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It can be super easy to look at the lives of others and say “I want that’, “I’m going to try what worked for so and so” but they are not YOU. They don’t have your schedule, your vision, season or capacity. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>After this episode there will be some deep thinking &amp; action to be done on your part that will begin to produce a consistency that is aligned for YOU! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I pray this blesses you, </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Today I am sharing a question that was asked on the inside of The Joyful Fit Life Community on one of our message boards. The question was asked ‘How do you stay on the same page as your spouse”... this was in regards to communication and I thought it would be great to share here as well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Communication is something that we all do, AND open, honest, healthy communication is something that takes time, practice and A LOT of JESUS! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My desire is that after this episode you will have 3 more tips or even a fresh reminder to better your communication. These tips don’t only pertain to marriages either so don’t tune out if you aren’t married, I believe they can be applied to any relationship! </p>
<p> </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode we take a look at the differences between reflection and rumination and the role they play in our thought life. What we focus on grows and if we are women who are on their journey to becoming all that God has created them to be, we need the necessary tools that will contribute to our growth, not hinder it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thoughts that begin from reflection can often lead to rumination without even realizing it. These thoughts of rumination can become second nature and lead to deeper negative thinking patterns that can affect our relationship with ourselves and others. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Learning to embrace a growth mindset and shift our thoughts to what is going to benefit us will ultimately lead us to all that God has for us. </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>How in the world are we almost halfway done with 2024? Time flies when you are on your Journey to Becoming! At the beginning of the year we often set big goals &amp; dreams for the new year ahead and about 3 months in, the momentum begins to die down. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We continue to believe that in order to achieve massive results, we need massive action (which isn’t true). The negative thoughts then begin to kick in that we maybe haven’t done enough, that we failed in areas of life, yet again. We are going to combat that today through the gift of reflection. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I believe these 3 ways to reflect on the first half of the year will bring a positive outlook to all that has taken place: the good, the bad and the help me Jesus…because we know that with Him, He makes all things beautiful in His time. The choice is up to us if we want to see it or not.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want to encourage you to make the time to reflect on the past 6 months in a fresh way and renew your vision for the second half of the year! </p>
<p>

<p>I believe these 3 ways to reflect on the first half of the year will bring a positive outlook to all that has taken place: the good, the bad and the help me Jesus…because we know that with Him, He makes all things beautiful in His time. The choice is up to us if we want to see it or not.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want to encourage you to make the time to reflect on the past 6 months in a fresh way and renew your vision for the second half of the year! </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Summertime is upon us and we know all too well that “losing weight” can quickly become a part of everyone’s goals. In this episode, we aren’t addressing physical weight loss tips, but taking a deeper dive in how to release and lose the mental weight. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The weight of other people’s opinions, fear of failure and self-sabotage has quickly become a weight that we have learned to carry year after year, and for some, even decades. This all stops today. I want to invite you in honest reflection to take a step backwards in finding the root of these “weights” in the desire to release them so you can “live lighter” and with more freedom. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I share an exercise at the end of the episode that will help you recognize, release and lose the mental weight for good. I hope that you will take action in it and begin to see the lasting change take place in your life, from the inside out. </p>

<p>Have you ever been called out because you were not fully present and quickly got defensive about it?! Ok good, I knew I wasn’t the only one!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Distractions are robbing us of our time yet we are oblivious to it because it has become a societal norm. Our days are constantly bombarded with interruptions, alerts &amp; notifications. It is no wonder why we feel the absolute need to multitask and do it all! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want to shed light on this topic because I believe that once we become aware of the dangers of living a distracted life, we will want to do something about it. There is power in enjoying the “being” while becoming and I know you this episode will help you identify areas where you can eliminate some distractions to free up your focus to live your life in the fullness that God has for you!

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>We are wrapping up Mental Health awareness month and ending on a high note. Today we have the woman behind the always encouraging IG account for Christian Women Entrepreneurs @ceoforwomen, Taneshia with us and she drops all the GOLD! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>When thinking of the word contribution it can be easy to shrink back into negative narratives, imposter syndrome and comparison. Taneshia shares from her own life experiences how over the years she has viewed success in other ways than data. She has had many “passion projects” as an entrepreneur and has been able to keep going because she chooses to take inventory of the things that God has placed inside of her. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Whether or not you view yourself as an entrepreneur, this episode is going to leave you feeling like you can accomplish anything with God by your side. Let’s stay on this Journey to Becoming all that God has created us to be, together! </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode we are continuing the conversation about Mental Health with Therapist, Jen Alley. Now that we have laid a foundation, we get to explore the purpose of slowing down in the extremely hurried world that we live in. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>One of my favorite things she shared in our time together is “neurons that fire together, wire together” speaking to the power that takes place in our brains when an experience is repeated over and over again. Jen also shares with us WHY healthy habits that contribute to our Mental Wellness are so important and necessary to maintaining our mental health. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Staying committed to your healing is a life-long journey, it won’t be easy, it will be painful, there will be tears shed AND it will be worth it because just like God says in His word,  “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly.”</p>
<p> </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode we are discussing the answers to some questions that you may have had about the foundations of mental health, but haven’t had access to the right people. We sit down with Jen Alley who has 15 years of experience in the mental health field as a therapist and the clarity she brings to this is so refreshing to this highly stigmatized topic. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you have been wondering more about the basics of mental health such as: when, where and how to find the right therapist for you and so much more, this episode is for you! There are many resources shared and provided and I know that you will be left with a better understanding of how to take responsibility for your own mental health in an empowering way! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remember that you must advocate for yourself, you are worth the work and you are not alone! </p>

Cindy and Laila are open, honest and transparent about Laila’s 3 year journey in working through her anxiety, self harm and suicidal thoughts that began for her in junior high. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The freedom that they can both speak from is a testament to their unwavering trust in God and also reminds us that yes, we serve a God of miracles AND there is a process to the healing journey that is all in God’s perfect timing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Whether you can relate or not to this beautiful testimony, all of us can be encouraged and reminded that with God all things are possible and He will always turn it around for our good and His glory! I am confident that you will find hope in this episode to keep going! </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In honor of May being Mental Health Awareness month we are taking a look at different areas that mental health shows up in. Within the Journey to Becoming Roadmap which is the framework taught inside the Joyful Fit Life Community, we focus on 4 areas of life, Faith, Relationships, Wellness &amp; Contribution. Today we are discussing how to use our Faith to combat the lies, generational strongholds and half truths we all struggle with. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My spiritual mother, Pastor Marie Silva is joining us to share from her recent book “Immersed” and how we must invite Jesus to immerse our minds. As women inside and outside of the church this is something that we all deal with probably more than we would like to admit. Pastor Marie shares practical ways to “exchange the conversation” that will lead to life change. The choice is up to us! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am confident that after listening to this episode that is full of encouragement, biblical truth and beautiful imagery- you will have a few more “tools in your arsenal” to experience new levels of freedom and healing. </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Continuing from Part 1 of my testimony, today I am sharing about the loss of another family member to suicide, my brother. As if losing your mom wasn’t hard enough, 20 years later I relived my worst nightmare. It was three days before my wedding day when I received a call from my Dad telling me to come home. To my dismay learning that my brother took his life caused so much pain again, and this time even more vivid as I was now an adult. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Navigating loss around yet another huge moment in your life is something that I would never wish on anyone. But, God. I was shown time and time again that God is truly in all of the details of our lives, no matter how small. The lessons that God has taught me since the passing of my brother have brought so many layers of healing and restoration, I am confident that they will bring hope to any situation you may be currently facing. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I share this part of my story to inspire you to cling to Jesus through the highest of highs and lowest of lows, He is truly our strength through it all! Thank you for listening and I believe that we are now closer after these past two episodes! </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[
<p>In this episode I am sharing with you about my personal testimony and what God has done in my life. I lost my mom when I was 6 years old, she had succumbed to a deep depression and took her own life. Growing up without a mom I had to navigate feeling “less than” which contributed to a heavy lack/poverty mentality. I share some defining moments growing up as I began to share about the loss and realized that there was healing in speaking about the pain. My empathy grew for others so deeply that I began to keep a journal to remind me to check in on my friends and to be there for them in any way that I could.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The healing &amp; restoration that has taken place in my life is something that can only be done through God. I have realized that the isolation that my mom dealt with is so common for us women. The enemy wants to isolate us all thinking that no one cares or knows what we are going through and that is the furthest thing from the truth. There is nothing that we can do to separate us from the love of God and I pray that through listening you are encouraged and reminded that however “stuck” you may be feeling in life, your life is worth living and showing up for.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is through my painful past of deep loss that has birthed my passion for helping women live out their full potential. Remember to always be kind, you may never know what someone is going through.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode we explore what Emotional Health is for those that may not fully understand what it actually is and how to grow in this area. Emotional Health has played a huge role in my transformation into all I am becoming as a wife, mom, daughter, mentor, coach etc , but first I had to quit. QUIT?! You may be thinking, “isn’t quitting bad?!” Well, not in this case, it has been the HEALTHIEST thing I have done. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Exploring the layers of Emotional Health from a Biblical perspective has brought what used to be past pain into new levels of freedom. This has been a foundational part of healing for the Joyful Fit Life Community as well- and will continue to be; so we can all step into who we are becoming. One of the ways that Emotional Health was introduced to me was through the book “ The Emotionally Healthy Woman”- a definite must read, and read again, highlight, take notes- all of the things! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will share the Top 3 Principles that stood out to me of the 8 that are covered in this book in hopes that you not only can relate, but realize that you are not ALONE! We are in this together Woman of God, let’s continue to heal and change the trajectory of our lives and the lives of those we impact! </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey friend! Have you ever had one of those days where you were like ummm God where are you, I need you! I need a word, I need encouragement over my life. You are secretly longing for someone to text you or ask how you are doing?! I cannot be the only one…Well, my friend, this may just be the encouragement that you needed today! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I felt this in my spirit and wanted to be obedient so I am sharing one of my favorite verses with you and declaring a prayer over your life today as well. Sometimes as believers we can quickly fall into the limiting belief that we are all alone and that is the absolute furthest thing from the truth! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the midst of the mundane in our day to day and humanity, God’s love, joy &amp; peace will never run out or fail us! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scriptures referenced: </p>
<p>Romans 15:13 NIV</p>

                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey friend! Have you ever had one of those days where you were like ummm God where are you, I need you! I need a word, I need encouragement over my life. You are secretly longing for someone to text you or ask how you are doing?! I cannot be the only one…Well, my friend, this may just be the encouragement that you needed today! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I felt this in my spirit and wanted to be obedient so I am sharing one of my favorite verses with you and declaring a prayer over your life today as well. Sometimes as believers we can quickly fall into the limiting belief that we are all alone and that is the absolute furthest thing from the truth! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the midst of the mundane in our day to day and humanity, God’s love, joy &amp; peace will never run out or fail us! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scriptures referenced: </p>
<p>Romans 15:13 NIV</p>
<p>Romans 15:13 TPT</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I pray this blesses you, </p>
<p>Xoxo Coach Joy </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>We all know that “nothing changes if nothing changes”, but what does that mean for you as a woman of God who is on her journey to becoming all that God created you to be?! We are talking all about that in today’s episode. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Why is it so hard to release the old patterns?! They are what has shaped so much of our lives and can very often be all that we know and so comfortable. I know that what God wants to do within your life will absolutely be worth the WORK that it will take to become all that He has already placed inside of you. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>What will you have to leave behind? What old patterns? What old mindsets? Maybe for you,  it’s relationships, because we cannot take everyone with us on this journey either. I am confident that after listening to this episode you will have a better idea of what you need to leave and all of what God has waiting for you to step into! </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>This episode is super special because I get to share a recent win that my husband and I trained for over the past 6 months. We completed the LA Marathon on March 17, 2024 and learned so much throughout the process that I know can be applied to many different areas of life. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rather than give you tips for how to remain dedicated or consistent, I am sharing with you 4 “When you Embrace…” statements learned through the past 6 months that carried us through the training and helped us stay focused on our why. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, dedication, consistency &amp; accountability are all important and necessary AND I believe after this episode you will be able to take a deep breath and have a fresh &amp; peaceful perspective on how you can continue to live with vision and reach your goals in life! </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Today we are chatting about the differences between taking action and being in motion: what the difference is and why it matters to you as a woman who is on her Journey to Becoming all that God has created her to be! One of the books I reference to help shift my perspective on this is Atomic Habits by James Clear, a definite 10/10 recommend! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is no doubt that you have all the best of intentions when it comes to bettering yourself in life. Everyone wants it, and yet there are few people who can build momentum in these areas because they feel “stuck”. We are going to address the main reasons why this is so common and how to overcome them so you begin to see that transformation in your life!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I share examples of taking action vs. being in motion in the 4 areas we focus on in our Journey to Becoming; Faith, Relationships, Wellness &amp; Contribution. At the end of the day as we dig deeper to the root of “why” we do the things we do, it is rooted in our identity… what God says about us! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I pray that in this episode you don’t just hear my voice, but what God is also impressing and reminding you about who He created you to be!  </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode I am sharing with you 5 tips to help you create a morning routine that best serves you! It can be very easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing and quickly compare yourself to a perfected curated “morning routine” post- that may not even be real. If it doesn’t serve you, it won’t last, period.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Creating a morning routine has been a complete game changer in my life. It has contributed so much peace to the start of my day first for myself and then trickles in to how I get to serve my family, and I know it will be the same for you. These simple tips are designed to help you make your routine your own and gain confidence in it. I believe that after this episode you will have a better understanding and starting point that you will continue to take action in and build momentum in. </p>

It can be very easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing and quickly compare yourself to a perfected curated “morning routine” post- that may not even be real. If it doesn’t serve you, it won’t last, period.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Creating a morning routine has been a complete game changer in my life. It has contributed so much peace to the start of my day first for myself and then trickles in to how I get to serve my family, and I know it will be the same for you. These simple tips are designed to help you make your routine your own and gain confidence in it. I believe that after this episode you will have a better understanding and starting point that you will continue to take action in and build momentum in. </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode we are talking all things Vision! If you are already feeling a little stressed like uhhh I am not sure how to even begin to think about vision because I am just trying to make it one day at a time, you are not alone! It can be very common to feel that way and some women have even shared that they are embarrassed to admit that they are not living with vision at all. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This episode is going to bring you the clarity that you need to start! Starting right where you are, with what you have! So many times we want to wait for the perfect moment or when we feel “ready”, but starting now is where it’s at! We are going to be honest with ourselves by taking responsibility for where we are and then developing a vision for where we want to be. To do this, we first need to include God in this vision, writing it down and then submitting it to Him with full trust that He knows what He is doing! We also need to make sure it is an emotionally driven vision. We serve a God that exceeds our expectations, and He does this not by pushing us around, but by working within us! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Begin to envision what you want your relationship with God to look like, your marriage, your motherhood, your mental &amp; emotional health and how you are showing up in life. It will take some time to develop and I know that you will be so proud of yourself for simply, starting. There is no one saying that it has to be done perfectly, but the sooner you get started, the sooner you can begin to live it out! </p>

<p>In this episode we are about to expose some unseen things that are keeping us stuck in life. Things that if we are not careful can stand in the way of our Journey to Becoming and operating out of our God given identity. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am talking about limiting beliefs. These are beliefs that limit us and are the exact opposite of what God says about us and wants for us. They are also oftentimes rooted in past negative experiences— it’s’ time to think and dig deep! I share the top 3 limiting beliefs that I believe most women deal with, and while it is great to expose and admit that we do deal with them, we must also have the proper tools to help us reframe them- God’s way! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wish that we could wave a magic wand and never have to deal with them again, but that’s not how it works. My hope is that after listening to this episode, you won’t only be able to relate and not feel isolated when these limiting beliefs do take place, but your reaction time to deal with these “roadblock” will increase, getting you back on your path! </p>
<p> </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p class="p1">In this first episode I share my heart behind the “Journey to Becoming”, and what I hope to it mean for your life as well.</p>
<p class="p1">I am taking you back to about 5 years ago when a friend was praying over me and shared that she felt God telling me to slow down. Slowing down was the absolute furthest thing from my mind. I was team “I can do everything all at the same time” and I wanted to run my race at MY pace. Well, that was a recipe for disaster, burn out and overwhelm.</p>
<p class="p1">Can you relate? Wanting to do all the things, saying yes to everyone and everything that came your way?! God was trying to get a hold of me, but I was too busy-yikes! I wanted to wear all the metaphorical “hats” in life…</p>
<p class="p1">God began to remind me that the most important title that I would ever have was first being His daughter. I had to make the decision to first operate out of that identity and not look for my worth in all the other titles.</p>
<p class="p1">This Journey to Becoming is allowing God to pull everything out of us the He has already placed on the inside of us. It is operating out of our God-given identity to become who we are! Through this framework I have personally seen so much healing, freedom &amp; restoration and I know the same can take place for you too.</p>
<p class="p1">There are four areas that make up our Journey to Becoming &amp; I share what those areas entail. I cannot wait to hear the action that you will begin to take on your own personal Journey to Becoming. This is truly, the start of something new!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>The podcast you need in your life as a Christian woman who is ready to step into all that God created them to be.</p>
<p>Are you sick and tired of feeling stuck in life? </p>
<p>Do you deal with crippling fear &amp; doubt that can invade your mind at any given moment and weighs you down mentally?</p>
<p>Do you find yourself struggling with your self-worth and confidence when it comes to putting yourself first?</p>
<p>Have you wrestled with the desire to grow deeper in relationship with God and see His plan for your life come to fruition, but you are still a little scared?</p>
<p>There is a way to step out of the constant self-sabotage, gain control of your life and give yourself permission to live out the vision that God has for you! </p>
<p>Hey, I’m Joy Johnson. Your new bestie, coach, mentor and sister in Christ that cannot wait to speak life into you and activate you to take action in the life that you have been so blessed with.</p>
<p>I remember the days where I was hiding behind the very things that were robbing me of all of my time and energy. I was crippled by fear of failure, the opinions of others and lacked major boundaries. Not to mention allowing my relationship with God to be on the back burner because hello- there was no time for that. That was a recipe for disaster that quickly led to burn out and frustration. </p>
<p>It wasn’t until I realized that I was absolutely not alone, and so many other women were struggling with the same things that I began to be honest with myself. I have since been able to apply a framework in structuring my life that has changed everything for the better. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Through this podcast I will share with you HOW to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Discover, design &amp; develop the vision that God has for you</li>
<li>Simplify your daily systems to bring transformation in your mental, emotional &amp; physical health</li>
<li>Embrace the power of consistency and release the perfectionistic mindset once and for all </li>
<li>Heal from your past and not let it hinder your future</li>
<li>Find joy in your Journey to Becoming all that God has created you to be</li>

<p>Are you sick and tired of feeling stuck in life? </p>
<p>Do you deal with crippling fear &amp; doubt that can invade your mind at any given moment and weighs you down mentally?</p>
<p>Do you find yourself struggling with your self-worth and confidence when it comes to putting yourself first?</p>
<p>Have you wrestled with the desire to grow deeper in relationship with God and see His plan for your life come to fruition, but you are still a little scared?</p>
<p>There is a way to step out of the constant self-sabotage, gain control of your life and give yourself permission to live out the vision that God has for you! </p>
<p>Hey, I’m Joy Johnson. Your new bestie, coach, mentor and sister in Christ that cannot wait to speak life into you and activate you to take action in the life that you have been so blessed with.</p>
<p>I remember the days where I was hiding behind the very things that were robbing me of all of my time and energy. I was crippled by fear of failure, the opinions of others and lacked major boundaries. Not to mention allowing my relationship with God to be on the back burner because hello- there was no time for that. That was a recipe for disaster that quickly led to burn out and frustration. </p>
