Want to submit an episode topic request? Text 'em here!Let's talk about something that doesn't get brought up enough...What if the idol in your life isn't money, status, or success...but YOU? In this episode, we go deep into the hidden idol that many ambitious people don't realize they have: the belief that you are the solution. That it's all on your shoulders. That if you just do more, fix more, or control more in your life and business...you'll finally be okay.But here's the truth: when you put yourself in the position only God is meant to hold, it leads to burnout, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion.That's why in this episode, I'm breaking down:✔️ what self-idolization actually looks like (it's not always prideful or obvious)✔️ how believing you are the answer can quietly take God's place✔️ the three areas this shows up most: your relationship with money, people, and old habits✔️ and how to release that pressure and let God lead againThis conversation is honest, freeing, and full of truth. Because God never asked you to be your own savior...He just asked for your surrender. If you've been feeling the pressure to figure it all out or carry everyone's weight…this one's for you.Like this episode?

Maybe you're chasing financial goals, health milestones, or personal recognition—been there, too. But if you've ever felt like those pursuits left you drained or empty, you're not alone. I'm sharing a personal story of how I found myself overwhelmed by the pressure to "achieve new year goals" and how God gently redirected my focus.

How does seeking God first impact not only our spiritual lives but everything else - our relationships, our work, and even our goals for the better?

Want to submit an episode topic request? Text 'em here!We are back with our weekly episodes! In this first episode of 2025, I'm reflecting on the LA wildfire crisis and the lessons learned about how we lead others during challenging times in the world, in our work, or in our own personal lives. Living in LA, I've seen the devastation up close and witnessed the many ways people are responding to it online. Some responding out of fear, and others proclaiming that this is God's judgment. It's made me pause and consider the very real fact that during any challenge, the way we LEAD within that challenge MATTERS.Leadership isn't just about what we say and do, but how we do it. In today's conversation, we'll explore the importance of leading with love and compassion in your work, your business, with people, and especially when wordly or personal challenges hit. I'll share why it's essential to stay rooted in your faith, plant seeds of hope, and let God shape not just your actions but your heart in everything you do. If you're navigating a circumstance in your own life right now or simply want to lead with greater intention no matter the challenge you face, this episode is for you.Enjoy, and share it with those who could benefit from taking a listen!
