He may have refined me, but there are some things you just never forget.😎

I’m not bragging.😂
But I do find it pretty amazing how I can’t remember what happened yesterday but can recite the lyrics to every old school hip hop song from my late 90s-early 2000s playlist.

Anyone else?

He made us some fierce ladies who love a solid beat drop. What can I say.😆

What if I can’t change?😳⁣
⁣
That thought consumed me when I started working on my story knowing the change I wanted but didn’t see evidence of my efforts working.⁣
⁣
Striving to heal is as useless as pretending you’re fine.💥⁣
⁣
The truth is…you WILL face setbacks.⁣
You’ll see progress and then feel like you’ve stumbled 5 steps backward.⁣
It WILL feel discouraging, like the cards are stacked, until you do this:⁣
⁣
Return again👇⁣
⁣
-Return to the truth of who you are- again⁣
-Renew your thoughts- read His Word- again⁣
-Combat the lying thoughts with His truth- again⁣
-Pray for someone else, shift your mindset- again⁣
-Rest in His safe, strong arms. Break down, cry, be honest, be you- finally…again⁣
-Receive the grace He died for you to have. Get back up, and try again…⁣
⁣
…as many times as it takes🙏⁣
⁣
One day you’ll notice- you’re not falling into old patterns as often and when you do, you return again to the truth much quicker. Soon it’ll be your new norm.⁣
⁣
Let me know if this resonates. Drop a YES below if you can relate.💛

Empowered Moms Empower Moms 🩵

My friend @thetheresatodd was a keynote speaker at @dremilyjacobs Empowered Moms event yesterday🎤

I was thrilled to be in the room with some incredible women who are part of this incredible community 🩵 

For me being an empowered mom means my family gets the best of me. I’m present and serve from overflow of God’s love in me. As Theresa says, I’m the heart of my home! A•N•D I’m building something significant that impacts the lives of others with my unique gifts, talents and passions in large part inspired by my son! 🩵

What does being an empowered mom mean to you?

Lean not on your own understanding they say, right?

 Easier said than done!😆
 But I know when I do, life’s a lot less stressful.🙏

 So go ahead, give God your trust fall and LEAN. LEAN. LEAN. LEAN. LEAN.

In case nobody told you today…You REALLY ARE!✨⁣
⁣
Not because of how much you get done before carpool (although that’s impressive) but because of the one-of-a-kind energy you bring to everyone around you.💃🏻⁣
⁣
Even on your hard days⁣
Even when you feel more BAD than BADDIE⁣
⁣
You’re fun, strong, fiery, wildly loving, and you’re a really really good mom.⁣
⁣
Don’t you forget it!⁣
⁣
Go ahead & send this to a baddie friend as a reminder!🔥 ⁣

You know that stomach drop feeling when you have to have a hard conversation?

What’s your instinct: drop it, or say the hard thing?

I get it. I’ve felt it too. But I’ve also grown and learned that holding in what needs to be said actually festers and grows and only creates more harm than good.

On this episode of The BAD Mom Show I shared from a real life hard conversation moment. It involved school and- you know how that can be. It felt uncomfortable to approach but, when it comes to our kids, we say the hard thing.

No- this is not the same as fighting your kids’ battles.
It was still uncomfortable. 
But it was the right thing to do. 
And honestly? I felt so much better after.

Here’s what’s undeniably true: Staying quiet doesn’t necessarily mean keeping the peace. Now you’ve just bottled things inside that grow and fester. And what festers turns into resentment, bitterness, and frustration that the other person doesn’t even know you’re carrying. It only hurts YOU.

So let’s talk about the hard convos.

In this episode, we’re getting into:
✅ How to approach hard conversations without letting anger take over
✅ Why avoiding confrontation teaches your kids something you don’t want them to learn
✅ Where the fear to speak up actually comes from
✅ How to stand in your God given authority and model courage for your kids

You don’t have to be fearless to speak up. 
Courage is feeling the fear and doing the right thing anyway. 🙌

Comment COURAGE and I’ll send you the link!🎙️

They used to call it baby brain but now? I have no excuse.😂

I just had a really good idea!
No wait….it’s gone.
I know I just had my phone in my hand and now it’s evaporated.
And why am I in my closet again? I know there was a reason…

It’s fine. I’m fine. We’re thriving.

Writing your story is hard. It’s RISKY.🫣

Sharing the deeply personal parts is vulnerable. Exhausting even.

It’s easier to shrink back, not share, stay hidden and keep things to myself.
I’ve done that. I know how to do that.🙋🏻‍♀️

But when God moves in your life and reveals truth where darkness had its grip, you feel FREE and know that the taste of freedom is so good, you can’t keep it to yourself.

I want YOU to experience it too.🩷

Do I have all the answers? Far from it.
Am I now a perfect mom? Not by a long shot.
Have I finally arrived? That’s a pipe dream.

What this chapter is, is my invitation to you- an extended hand.

It’s me sharing what I hope will touch a place in your heart that’s felt dark, hidden, too much or not enough. A place you’ve kept locked tight because if anyone knew they might be horrified and leave you.😔

I’ve lived with that fear too. It’s consuming.
But it’s not the end of my story.
And it doesn’t have to be yours either.

If you’re willing, take my hand. I’m a few steps ahead and stronger than before.

Come join me and my fellow authors to explore what your Firebrand could be in our virtual book club!🔥
I guarantee you’ll find connection, hope and new courage each week.

I never realized how significant this distinction would be.👇⁣
 ⁣
Your calling and assignment are NOT the same thing.🤯⁣
⁣
But most of us entwine the two, never considering the difference. And knowing that could be the thing that unlocks those gnawing questions in your mind:⁣
⁣
Am I missing my calling?⁣
What is my purpose?⁣
Did motherhood rob me of it?⁣
Why can’t I seem to make progress?⁣
 ⁣
This week’s episode of The BAD Mom Show features PART 2 of my interview with @rachelwortman and it is SO rich. You may need to take some reflection time after.👌⁣
⁣
If you’ve ever felt exhausted, stretched thin, doing everything — business, parenting, marriage, serving— and it’s never enough, this one’s for you. ⁣
 ⁣
We get caught up in performance mode and ask ourselves the wrong question. It’s not, ‘Am I doing enough?” What we should ask is, ‘Am I aligned with my calling and clear on my assignment for this season?’⁣
⁣
Just one of the big things this episode will get you pondering!💡⁣
 ⁣
We also talked about:⁣
✅ What the difference actually is between calling and assignment⁣
✅ What stewardship looks like and how it can change⁣
✅ How your money mindset and identity are generationally impacted⁣
✅ What it looks like to build with God not just for him⁣
⁣
And so much more! I can’t wait for you to listen. If you missed PART 1 be sure to go listen to that first.⁣

Sound familiar or is it just me?🤷🏻‍♀️

Both things are true and I’m learning to be OK with it.😂
From what I’ve seen, it’s all part of the process.

Learning to hold both and not sacrifice your happiness for hustle.🙏

Keep your priorities aligned and recognize your growth along the way.

But yes, still having these moments.🤪
Let me know if you do too!
