155. How to Partner with God for Your 2025 Vision & Goals: Personal Growth for Christian Women
Happy New Year, friend! I’m so excited for today’s episode on partnering with God for our 2025 vision and goals. I’m breaking down my top 5 tips to set you up for a purposeful year:
Cast your vision.
Set goals that support your vision.
Create your action plan.
Invite someone into the process.
Make it fun!
And don’t forget: It’s OKAY to change your plans or your path! That’s the whole point of partnering with the Lord — allowing Him to guide you, refine you, and keep your heart in a posture of surrender.
MY PRAYER FOR 2025 — I pray that you will take the pressure of of yourself to be the savior, the perfect one, the end-all. I pray you will learn to be as gentle and kind with yourself in the process as Jesus is, to be present in your current season. I pray that the coming season is one of freeing surrender, burdens lifted, hope raised, and faith deepened.

152. What is Advent Really About? Making Time for Jesus Through Joy & Grief During the Holidays (ft. Chelsey DeMatteis)
Today we’re chatting with Chelsey DeMatteis and diving into the heart of Advent —a season that often gets overshadowed by holiday busyness and festive traditions, yet holds so much meaning for us as believers. We’ll break down the true purpose of Advent, exploring why it’s so much more than just a countdown to Christmas. If you’ve ever wondered what Advent really means or how to make it meaningful in your life, this conversation is for you.
We’ll also discuss practical ways to keep our focus on Jesus during this season, even in the midst of holiday chaos, motherhood, or busy schedules. Plus, we’re talking about how to find hope and peace if this time of year is difficult due to grief, family tension, or other struggles. Join us as we explore how to create intentional space for Jesus, embrace the season of waiting, and walk through Advent with a renewed sense of purpose and hope!
