Exposing Our Messiest and Funniest Moments of 2 Years of Marriage
Wow, I can’t believe Kaleb and I have officially been married for TWO years! In this episode, we’re spilling ALL the tea – the highs, the lows, and the hilarious little quirks of doing life together. We’re getting real about the silly fights (yes, the manly hands moment made a comeback), things we’ve learned, and how our marriage has grown since saying “I do.”
We also talk about:
💍 Our most embarrassing couple arguments
👶 Becoming parents to Duke and how it’s changed us
📖 Sweet traditions, baby voices, and yes... playing Sims at 8am 😂
🎁 The importance of keeping the spark alive with surprises and intentional time
💬 Real talk on conflict resolution, gaslighting (the joking kind), and what makes us feel close
Thank you for being a part of this journey — here’s to many more years of love, laughs, and lessons. 💕

The Realities of Life After Having a Baby That No One Tells You
In today’s episode, I’m getting real about my journey through postpartum and five months of being a mama. Motherhood is beautiful, but WOW, it’s also the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I open up about sleep deprivation, my hair falling out, pumping and breastfeeding struggles, how this season has changed my marriage, and why sometimes just getting through the day feels like a major win. 😅
If you're a mom, a mom-to-be, or even just want to understand what this stage of life has looked like for me, I hope you feel seen and encouraged by this chat. This one's from my heart to yours. All you Mommas are doing amazing!

Reacting to Controversial TikToks as a Christian
Hey friends! I'm mixing it up this week and I'm reacting to TikToks and IG reels that have been all over my feed lately! From whether having a boyfriend is “embarrassing” to the whole “Hatch is demonic” controversy, and even church aesthetics and modesty debates—I’m diving into it ALL.
These are things we’re seeing all over social media, and I just wanted to talk about them through a biblical lens. So heads up: some hot takes ahead!
I also talk about how Christians are often misunderstood online (especially moms or people passionate about their faith), and why we should still stand firm in truth with kindness. Hope you enjoy it!

What To Do When You Don’t Like Your Life Ft. Rachel Awtrey
I got to sit down with my sweet friend Rachel Awtrey to talk about what it really means to love your life—even when you don’t like it all the time. We went deep into the hard stuff: grief, spiritual warfare, motherhood, friendship, and how to CHOOSE joy as a daily practice. Rachel opens up about the loss of her father, writing her book through a miscarriage, and building joy as a skill, not just a feeling.
We also chatted about the lies we believe about "balance," how to find friends in a new season, and why being present is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. This episode is for the girl who’s tired, overwhelmed, and maybe wondering if this is all life has to offer. Joy is available—and worth fighting for.
In This Episode
02:31 – Rachel’s Story & Online Encouragement
04:50 – Ambition, Balance & Community as a Mom
09:00 – Grief, Tragedy & Learning to Love Your Life
13:44 – The Skill of Joy & Practical Mindset Shifts
19:00 – Toxic Positivity vs. Choosing Joy
28:00 – Small Habits That Shift Your Life
30:00 – How to Make Friends in a New Season
35:00 – Writing the Book in the Midst of Brokenness
