We’ve made it to Christmas week, friends. 🎄 Amid the chaos, the to-do lists, the noise, and the swirl of holiday emotions—we’ve arrived in this moment, this year, at this point of God’s story.

Have you ever been folding laundry or sitting in the carpool line when, out of nowhere, you feel that little gut-punch moment of clarity— “Wait… when did I start measuring my worth by everything except what God says about me?” 🫠 You’re not the only one. This week on Nourished to Bloom, we’re diving into the powerful parable of the prodigal son—and reframing it as our story as women in middle motherhood. So many of us “wander” in quiet, subtle ways… not by rejecting God, but by forgetting who we are in Him. We hand our worth, our dignity, and our identity over to the...

Hey friends — this week on Nourished to Bloom, we’re diving into a passage of Scripture that hits right at the heart of who we are becoming: the Parable of the Gold Coin from Luke 19:11–28. So many of us feel like God has entrusted us with something special — a talent, a passion, a story — but fear convinces us to tuck it away, keep quiet, or stay small. Whether we’re in the “middle” years of motherhood, career, or faith, many of us are quietly wondering: Who am I now? What is God asking of me? And what if I mess it all up? In this episode, we explore how Jesus’...

Hey friends! I’m so glad you’re joining me for another heartfelt episode of Nourished to Bloom. Today we’re diving into a question that whispers quietly but persistently in so many of our hearts: What does it actually look like to say YES to God as you write the next chapter of your sacred story? If you’re in that “middle motherhood” space—not a new mom, not an empty nester, just somewhere beautifully in-between—you may feel a gentle nudge toward something more. A little more stillness. A little more curiosity. A lot more questions. If you’ve ever wondered what God’s...

Have you ever secretly wondered, “Is this really it? What comes next for me?” I want you to Imagine holding a big, beautiful book with your name on the spine. You flip through each chapter—childhood memories, falling in love, raising babies, embracing all the beautiful chaos—and then, at the last page, you see... it’s blank. Not because your story is over, but because God is inviting you to co-write the next chapter together. That’s exactly what we explore into on this week’s episode of Nourished to Bloom (Ep. 91!). If you’re in that in-between place—kids aren’t babies...

The holidays are knocking at our door — a season we long for, a season filled with gratitude, tradition, and time with the people we love. And yet, for so many of us, this time of year also brings its own version of emotional landmines: difficult personalities, conversations we don’t want to engage in, old patterns resurfacing, and moments that trigger overwhelm or steal our peace. In today’s episode, we’re creating a Holy Headspace — Holiday Edition: a grace-filled, grounded approach to navigating gatherings, expectations, and emotional complexity without losing yourself (or your...

This week on Nourished to Bloom, we’re stepping into a season that so many of us experience, but few of us talk about openly: middle motherhood. It’s that in-between chapter when our children are growing more independent, our days feel quieter, and suddenly we find ourselves asking the big questions again: Who am I? What am I meant to do? I share a personal story about my daughter as she starts middle school—how she struggled with her identity, and how I watched her journey remind me of our own transitions as women. From young adulthood to marriage, career choices, and motherhood,...

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the “right things” — taking care of your family, trying to take care of your body, showing up in your faith — yet deep down, you feel a little… lost? Like somewhere between motherhood, routines, and responsibilities, you misplaced pieces of who God created you to be? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m opening my heart and sharing a stirring the Lord has been placing on me for months — a deepening of what wellness truly means as a Catholic woman. In this episode we’ll explore: ✨ What happens when we don’t feel connected to our...

If you’ve ever felt anxious, guilty, or out of control around food at social events—especially during those big family gatherings or holiday parties—this episode is for you. Maybe you’ve walked into a party determined to “be good,” only to find yourself hovering near the dessert table, caught in that tense inner dialogue: Should I eat this? Why can’t I control myself?

info_outlineHey friends — this week on Nourished to Bloom, we’re diving into a passage of Scripture that hits right at the heart of who we are becoming: the Parable of the Gold Coin from Luke 19:11–28.
So many of us feel like God has entrusted us with something special — a talent, a passion, a story — but fear convinces us to tuck it away, keep quiet, or stay small. Whether we’re in the “middle” years of motherhood, career, or faith, many of us are quietly wondering:
Who am I now? What is God asking of me? And what if I mess it all up?
In this episode, we explore how Jesus’ invitation to “engage in trade” is really an invitation to step into the gifts He’s placed in our hands — faithfully, courageously, and without comparison. We talk about what happens when we hide our gifts… and what can unfold when we finally offer them back to God.
Here’s a look at what we unpack inside Episode 93:
✨ What the Parable of the Gold Coin reveals about identity, calling, and courage
✨ The subtle ways fear convinces us to hide our gifts or doubt our worth
✨ Why fruitfulness is found in surrender, not perfection or performance
✨ How we can multiply what God has entrusted to us through small, faithful steps
✨ A visualization practice to imagine Jesus placing your “gold coin” in your hands
✨ How to navigate moments of wanting to quit — and the breakthroughs that come with vulnerability
✨ A life-giving invitation to step into clarity and courage through the “Writing Your Sacred Story” Mini Retreat
This episode reminds us that the size of the gift is never the point — it’s our willingness to use what God has placed in our hands that shapes our story. Fear freezes us. Faith multiplies.
