Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Life rarely flows in a straight line. Sometimes you find yourself pulled in a dozen different directions, tangled in disappointments and setbacks, or simply unsure which step to take next.

4054 When No One Knows show art 4054 When No One Knows

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

I don’t know what this season has been like for you, but sometimes life just feels heavy. You’re doing your best to keep going, but eventually you look up and think…"What now? What next? I can’t handle one more thing." How are you getting through the day when no one knows? The apostle Paul knew that feeling when he wrote, “We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure” (2 Corinthians 1:8 NLT).

4053 Don't Shrink Back! show art 4053 Don't Shrink Back!

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Why do we wage war inside ourselves, convincing our hearts that we are our failures, that we are not enough? STOP IT!! You are created for more. Every season of your life holds a purpose that only you can fulfill. So don’t shrink back! Life will never look the way you imagine it should. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . That’s because we craft stories in our minds — stories built from past wounds and hopes for the future.

4052 Run the Race Meant for You show art 4052 Run the Race Meant for You

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

It’s human nature to look around and see what everyone else is doing—who’s winning, who’s falling behind. Social media makes it even harder; we see highlight reels of success, hustle, and overnight wins. But your dreams and goals are not finished by someone else’s actions or accomplishments. They're only fulfilled by your moves, your focus, and your relentless commitment to run the race meant for you. Because if I were a betting girl, which I'm not, my bet would be that you already tried running someone else's race. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded...

4051 Is God Mad At You? show art 4051 Is God Mad At You?

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

What do you do when everything feels heavy, and you seem to be lost? Maybe for you, it's that feeling of the disappointments stacking up, the dreams that seem to slip through your fingers, the isolation pressing in like a weight you can’t shake. If you’re like me in this season, it’s easy to wonder if God has forgotten you. Or worse, is God mad at you? And then I read Zephaniah 3:17: “The Lord your God is in your midst; he is a warrior who can deliver. He takes great delight in you; he renews you by his love; he shouts for joy over you.” Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

4050 I Do, But Not Today show art 4050 I Do, But Not Today

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

There’s a raw, undeniable magic in the early days of love. When two people are madly in love, everything seems bright, shiny, and flawless—or at least, as close to flawless as humanly possible. Each partner carries a pair of rose-colored glasses that mask faults, differences, and even potential deal-breakers. The world is new, and so is each other. It’s the honeymoon of life. But time is relentless. Years press forward, and those blazing mornings turn into years that roll into decades where life happens. No wonder your attitude is "I do, but not today." Life doesn’t pause or hit reset....

4049 Just In Case You Missed It show art 4049 Just In Case You Missed It

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Why let life get so unruly, especially when it comes to your family? Busyness does not need to be a convenient excuse to soften the blow of your absence when you tell your kids that you cannot be there for them. Don't be that kind of parent. Hang on with your presence just in case you missed it. Because you can’t be everywhere all the time. Trying to be a superhero with endless energy leads straight to burnout—and that’s no life, no legacy. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Instead, be strategic about your presence. Because when...

4048 Pick Up Where You Left Off show art 4048 Pick Up Where You Left Off

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Lately, have you been able to get everything you wanted done? Most of us start out with solid plans, clear goals, and a to-do list that feels doable. Then life happens—the phone rings, emails flood in, emergencies pop up—and suddenly you’re forced to pivot mid-stream. What you wanted to finish today now sits on the back burner, perhaps forgotten or frustratingly out of reach. But have no fear, pick up where you left off. Because you know all too well that it’s crushing to feel like you’re doing everything for everyone else while your own priorities slip away. Maybe you promised...

4047 Guard Your Bandwidth show art 4047 Guard Your Bandwidth

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Have you ever stopped to consider how far your energy and impact actually stretch throughout your life? Most of us live fragmented days—snatching moments here and there, giving bits of ourselves without a clear sense of the whole. Yet, the result is that we end up drained, stretched too thin, and ineffective where it matters most. Guard your bandwidth. If you’re not intentional about guarding your bandwidth, you’ll find yourself giving away more than you actually have to offer.  Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

4046 Knock It Out! show art 4046 Knock It Out!

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Why does life have to be SO hard? That question echoes in the minds of many—sometimes whispered in quiet moments, sometimes shouted in frustration. The weight of struggle can feel endless, like a storm that never passes. And yes, you can live with that feeling for as long as you want. But if you're okay with knowing that's just how it is, then you can pull yourself up by your britches and knock it out! Knock out the resistance, the self-doubt, the excuses. Knock it out like none other. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Because sitting too...

Let’s cut to the chase. You’re feeling stuck. Maybe the spark that used to light up your days has dimmed to a flicker. You’re scrolling through life, watching others move forward while you tread water. Sound familiar? Good. Because this means you’re alive enough to want more; use your edge.

Feeling engaged and inspired is a muscle you build by choice and action, not by waiting for a sign or the perfect moment. So if you’re waiting for motivation to fall out of the sky, you’ll wait forever.

But let's be clear—this isn’t about forcing fake enthusiasm. It’s about reconnecting with what matters enough to pull you out of the quicksand of apathy.

Start with this: What is one small thing you can do today that proves to yourself you’re creating, moving, or learning—even if it’s just a scratch in your notebook, a single honest conversation, or a fifteen-minute task you’ve been avoiding? You don’t need that giant leap. You need a win.  One “I did that” that shakes off the fog.

"One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo

Because engagement doesn’t come from jumping in fully before you’re ready—it comes from showing up when it’s hard and asking, “What’s one thing I can own right now?” Every movement, no matter how small, sends a signal to your brain that you’re alive, pushing, living with intention.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Use your edge!

Inspiration follows action, not the other way around. When you take a deliberate step, that’s when the ideas and energy flood in.

If your inner voice is whispering, “What’s the point? I’m just spinning wheels,” throw that thought out the window. Replace it with, “What can I claim today, no matter how tiny, that breaks the cycle of boredom?” The point isn’t a giant leap. The point is momentum.

Surround yourself with purpose-driven people who challenge you, call you out, and hold you accountable. Your environment shapes your energy. If your circle is limp, you get limp. If it’s wired for action, you’ll catch that fire.

Engagement isn’t always something that just happens—it’s something you chase, grab, and fight for. No one else will do it for you. In other words, pay attention to what's happening in your world, the world you touch. Be aware!

So here’s your next move: Pick one real, tangible thing to do in the next hour that reminds you you’re in charge of your life. No fluff, no distractions, no excuses. Then just do it.

You don’t need to feel inspired to act. You need to act to feel inspired. That’s how you climb out of the slump and back into a life that grabs your attention.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
