Thriving in the Space Between

Ever feel like you've tried it all—novenas, therapy, retreats, dating apps—only to still wonder: what's wrong with me?We get it. And we want you to know: nothing is “wrong” with you. What you need isn't another quick fix. You need space to slow down, breathe, be held, and let God meet you right where you are.That's exactly why we created Thriving in the Space Between — a six-month slow-soak helping women move from striving to living with more hope, freedom, and peace.In this episode, we'll walk you through what the journey actually looks like — and why it changes everything.And here's the beauty — the fruit speaks for itself:

Have you ever asked yourself, “What's wrong with me?”That was Becca's question when she first joined our 6 month program, Thriving in the Space Between. Successful in her career, deeply invested in her community, and surrounded by good friends, she still felt stuck and unseen in dating. Every new disappointment left her wondering if she was the problem.Two years later, Becca describes herself as lighter, freer, and more open than she's ever been. She's learned how to slow down, soften, and live in a space of receptivity — not just in dating, but in her whole life.Her story is full of hope for any woman who feels stuck, frustrated, or weighed down by the ache.Becca's reminder is simple: you don't have to stay there. Transformation is possible — and it often starts with one small, brave yes.

“What if I'm too old? What if I don't connect with anyone? What if this ache never changes?”If you've ever asked yourself those questions, you're going to love this conversation with Lizzie, one of our current TIS gals from the UK.Lizzie is in her late 40s, a single mum, and living proof that it's never too late for new hope, healing, and transformation.In her words:✨ “One of the biggest challenges has been really leaning into the ache and engaging with what it means to live right now.”And yet, she's already experiencing powerful shifts:✨ “I've been very fortunate to have experience with somatic work and with IFS as well. But actually, even though I've had those experiences, TIS is just integrating it all in a really beautiful way.”She shares candidly about her fears of joining — and the surprise of finding deep sisterhood:✨ “My fear before joining was, ‘I'm so old and I'm in the UK—will I connect with anybody?' But the way M&M prayed and placed us, it's been beautiful.”✨ “We've cracked open our hearts a bit more and more as the weeks have gone on, and realized we're really sisters on the journey.”This is Lizzie's story of slowing down, leaning into the ache, and discovering that God still has more. Tune in! 

What if the way you're showing up in dating (and life) has less to do with what you know in your head—and more to do with how safe and calm your nervous system feels?In this episode, we share why regulating your body and learning to shift out of fight-or-flight is one of the most overlooked keys to enjoying dating, building real connection, and actually feeling like yourself. You'll hear what we've noticed after coaching hundreds of women, why many of you are sabotaging your dates without even realizing it, and how small shifts can make everything feel lighter.✨And the best part? We'll be diving into this live together at our free workshop Beyond the Dating Trap on Thursday, Sept 18 at 7pm CT.This evening will be a chance to:

We've all heard it: “There are no good men left.” Maybe you've even said it yourself after a rough date or another disappointing story. But what if that belief is quietly sabotaging the way you show up in dating?In this mini episode, Maria unpacks the truth: good men do exist. They're not perfect, but they're out there. Cultural expectations have impacted how and what we see when it comes to men. And the real question isn't just whether they exist—it's whether we're willing to look at ourselves and our own wounded spaces and stay long enough to see the whole person, not just the flaws.

“Do I really need more?”That's what Khylie wondered before joining TIS. Two months in, her answer is a clear yes—but not in the way she expected. Instead of adding more to her plate, TIS has helped her slow down, be honest about where she is, and discover the freedom of being accompanied by women walking a similar journey.Along the way, she's realized a powerful truth: "Ironically, when you stop striving to fix everything, that's when growth really happens.”From grounding practices that calm her body, to coaching that helps her process emotions, to the gift of being seen in community, Khylie's story is full of little shifts that add up to big transformation.As she puts it, “During coaching, I felt so seen. Reading the chat and realizing other women were crying with me—that was life-changing.”Her journey is a reminder that real change doesn't come from fixing yourself—it often starts when you stop striving, let yourself be seen, and take one brave yes at a time.

What if in just two months, you could feel lighter, more hopeful, and more present?That's been Grace's experience inside TIS. Once weighed down by restlessness and self-doubt, she's now savoring simple joys, slowing down enough to notice God's gifts, and discovering what she calls a “kaleidoscope of hope” in her everyday life: “Gratitude brings a kaleidoscope of hope into our lives. Where there was gray, I'm starting to see color again.”Along the way, she's also broken free from old lies. As Grace shares: “I named the lie I was believing—that I was generic. It's not true. God planted uniqueness in me from the very beginning.”From grounding practices to authentic community, Grace is realizing she doesn't have to wait for her life to “start.” And the shifts she's experiencing aren't just for a season: “You're not just investing in six months. These are skills for a lifetime.”Her story is both down-to-earth and inspiring — a reminder that small steps really can lead to big shifts. Save the Date: We're hosting a free live event on Thursday, September 18 at 7pm CT.

What happens when you stop trying to figure it all out on your own—and let yourself be known in a safe, intentional community? For Amy, that choice has already shifted so much. Just two months into TIS's 6 month Program she's gone from “going through the motions” to living more present, grateful, and free. She shares what's been most healing so far, how somatic practices are helping her slow down, and why community has made all the difference. If you've ever felt stuck, lonely, or on the fence about investing in yourself, Amy's story might be the nudge you need.

In the hardest seasons, it's tempting to believe something's wrong with you—that you're the only one feeling this ache.In Part 2, we continue this conversation with our dear friend, Angela Schnieders, we go into those raw messy spaces: practically what to do with the ache, how to actually 'slow down' and how to navigate the challenging 'space between' that is real when you're single and dating.Angela draws from her decades of mentoring leaders, coaching professionals, and walking with others through life's rawest moments. She shares pieces of her own story—what helped her keep breathing in the middle of disappointment, and how she slowly began to let God into the most unguarded places of her heart.If you've been wondering where God is in your own waiting, this one might feel like a deep exhale.Check out Angela's podcast - Integrated Wholeness for Body, Mind & Soul to learn more about how to achieve wholeness and holiness.Reach out to Angela for coaching or other inquiries here.

If the waiting feels heavy right now, you're not the only one. I know what it's like to carry a longing that hasn't been met yet — to wonder how to keep living fully when the ache is still here.In this mini episode, I'm sharing a practice that's helped me again and again: making room for beauty in the waiting. Because beauty has a way of reviving our hearts when we least expect it. Not as a way to distract yourself, but as a way to breathe, open your heart, and let God meet you here.I'll talk about why beauty can draw you outside of yourself, soften the ache, and even make you more receptive to the gifts He's giving right now. My hope is that you'll leave with encouragement, fresh perspective, and a renewed permission to move slower, look up, and allow beauty to revive you in your waiting.P.S.

What do you do when life doesn't look like you thought it would?When the house and the husband haven't come… but God is still whispering dreams into your heart?In this stunning episode, we sit down with Teresa Eppich — a TIS listener and now first-time author — to talk about grief, purpose, deep friendships, unexpected missions, and the courage to say yes to something bigger.She shares:✨The quiet grief of life not looking how you thought it would✨How one friendship with a Holocaust survivor became a turning point✨What happens when we stop running from the “nudge”✨The fear of being seen — and the freedom that comes with being known✨And why your story — right now — matters more than you thinkThis conversation is for the woman in the in-between — the one wondering if it's too late, if she missed her moment, or if it's even worth saying yes to something that scares her.Come listen.

Regret can feel so heavy — especially when the ache of singleness lingers.Breakups are rarely black and white.

You're not imagining it — this space can feel really frustrating.Especially when you're not getting asked out… or it's always by men you're not interested in.In this mini episode, Maria gently explores what's really going on beneath that ache — and how your mindset, energy, and heart posture might be quietly shaping your dating life.We talk about:The beliefs and narratives you carry into datingThe difference between discernment and self-protectionHow openness (not settling!) makes space for surprisesWhy criticism and cynicism toward men might be blocking connectionAnd how to begin shifting — with hope & honestyThis isn't about blaming you (you get enough of that, my goodness!)

In this rich, tender conversation, we're joined by our dear friend Dr. Sarah Denny Lorio—a theologian, educator, and fierce advocate for women's flourishing. From JP2's prophetic words to the lies women believe about their bodies, this episode dives into the ache, the shame, and the holy reclamation of what it means to be woman. We talk vocation, fertility awareness, hormonal health, and taking that next tiny step toward freedom.In this episode:The question every woman needs to ask: “Who told you that?”How shame around our bodies forms, and how to start breaking itWhy charting your monthly cycle is such a sacred toolWhy this quote from JP2 still speaks to our hearts todayPlus some practical next steps

In this tender and truth-filled episode, Maria and Meghan pull back the curtain on one of the most damaging lies they've seen women carry: the belief that you're still single because you're not “doing it right” spiritually. Maybe you've heard it—or felt it too: if you just prayed harder, were holier, or checked the right boxes off, God would have answered your desire for marriage by now.Together, they name this lie for what it is: not from the heart of God.This conversation gently but boldly calls out the pressure many women feel to be perfect—before God, in dating, and in life. It's an invitation into something deeper and freer: imperfection, honesty, and radical surrender to the Lord as you are right now.Through stories, scripture, and deep personal reflection, Meghan and Maria walk with you through:The shame of “not doing it right” in your spiritual lifeThe difference between surrender and giving upThe grief of unmet desires—and what to do with itWhy honesty is often the doorway to deeper intimacy with GodPractical ways to notice where you feel unsafe with the FatherHow to crack the door of your heart—just a little—for grace to enterWhether you're in a season of disappointment, wrestling with your story, or simply needing a reminder that you're not alone—this episode is for you.

In this episode, Zoe shares her experience of disliking dating because she wanted to have the dating experience not feel like it had such high stakes. TIS played a huge role in this process. You're in for a fun conversation!

In this episode, Mariana shares her transformative journey through TIS (The Intentional Single) — exploring how coaching, community, and intentional relationship-building helped her embrace true femininity, deepen her engagement relationship, and find peace amid uncertainty. She opens up about overcoming control struggles, navigating anxiety, and leaning into vulnerability with trusted friends and family. Mariana also highlights the power of small daily shifts, like speaking affirmations and embracing femininity, to build trust and intimacy.

In this special episode of Thriving in the Space Between, Meghan sits down with the radiant and wise Hannah—a nurse practitioner, former grad student, and longtime member of TIS. Hannah's story is one of subtle, sacred transformation. She joined TIS in the middle of grad school, unsure if she could “add one more thing”—but she followed a quiet nudge. And it changed everything.In this episode, we explore:

What if you've done all the “right things” but still feel off? In this episode, Sierra shares how joining TIS gave her the space she didn't know she needed — a place to slow down, feel deeply, and finally bring her head and heart together.The thing is, Sierra thought investing in herself was selfish.She was used to giving everything away—to her students, her church, her school. But underneath the serving was exhaustion, resentment, and deep loneliness.TIS gave her the tools to say no with confidence. To stop performing. To rest. To trust herself. And to finally feel seen—in community, in coaching, and in her relationship with God.“This work seeped into every part of my life,” she shares. “I'm not the same woman I was two years ago.”Sierra walks us through the unseen ache so many high-achieving women carry — and what it meant for her to slow down, let go of control, and allow herself to feel again. In this episode:What made Sierra say “yes” to TIS after following for monthsWhy emotional processing was a game-changerHow shifting from performing to presence brought healingThe power of group coaching and spiritual sisterhoodA new way to approach growth: with curiosity, not shameThe deep healing that happens when you're finally safe enough to feelStraight fire from Sierra “Saying no to good things allowed me to say yes to the right things.”“I didn't even know how to rest. I was just stuck in go-mode.”“I was volunteering for everything because I was clinging to spiritual motherhood—and I was lonely.”“There was so much shame in not hitting milestones alongside my friends. Coaching helped me name it and move through it.”“I used to think, ‘I'm just invisible.' But that was a lie I carried alone for too long.”“I thought I'd invest in this and get nothing out of it. Instead, it changed everything.”“For the first time, I didn't just survive another wedding. I celebrated—and I felt free.”When she joined TIS, she didn't expect much.“This is probably another course that won't help me,” she thought. But something inside whispered: try anyway.What happened next surprised her.“I didn't know how badly I needed to be seen until I was actually seen.”“It wasn't about becoming someone else. It was about coming home to who I already was.”This is the kind of transformation we've seen over and over again inside TIS. We'd love to hold space for you, too.Early bird doors open May 29 with $200 off through June 7. Doors close to TIS June 12.

We've got a special guest on the podcast this week— the lovely Gwen, a member of The Intentional Single who joined our 6-month journey after following us from afar.When Gwen first heard about TIS, she was skeptical. Raised in a devout Catholic family and surrounded by 6 sisters, she already had access to wisdom and support. “I just thought, ‘I know this stuff. Is this really going to work for me?'” But something still felt stuck. So she listened to the podcast. Again. And again.What she found in TIS wasn't a formula. It wasn't a five-step dating plan. It was integration. “I had all the head knowledge. But I didn't know how to live it.”Through coaching, Gwen learned how to process her emotions instead of moralizing or suppressing them. She stopped agonizing over every decision and began moving forward with hope. “I used to spend two years wondering about one guy. This year, I've gone on 20+ dates—without spiraling.”For Gwen, the transformation didn't come from more information. It came from slowing down, finding safety in community, and allowing coaching to help her reconnect with her God-given wisdom.“I used to think coaching was about someone telling me what to think. Now I see it's about being seen—and challenged—to think with God.”Now, Gwen is not just thriving in her vocation as a teacher—but flourishing in her faith, friendships, and her relationship with herself.“This isn't just about dating. It's about not moralizing every moment and choosing to live in freedom.”Gwen's story is a reminder that your healing doesn't have to be heavy—and that saying yes to growth might be the bravest thing you do.“Even as someone who's deeply emotional, I didn't realize how much more there was to learn. TIS took me deeper than any therapy or book ever did.”“Signing up for TIS was a big deal. I was prideful. I thought I already knew everything. But this? This changed how I live.”If you've been thinking about joining us inside TIS, this episode is for you.

In this powerful  episode of Thriving in the Space Between, Meghan sits down with four beautiful TIS gals—Abby, Annie, Danielle, and Courtney—who met inside TIS and have been journeying together for nearly two years.They were placed in a small group… but what unfolded went far beyond a scheduled call.Tears. Laughter. Cross-country trips. Hope trails (yes, literal ones). Hard conversations. And holy, holy friendship.They talk candidly about:What it's like to be truly seen and receivedHow growth feels less scary when it's sharedThe gift of spiritual sisterhood in singlenessWhy they never stopped meeting—long after the program ended“You don't have to explain yourself to people who've forgotten the ache. This group just gets it.”  – Courtney“These women are the sisters I always dreamed of.” – Danielle“I don't have to have my life together to be loved. These women have shown me that.” – Annie"Before TIS, I had never had the honor of sitting with someone in all the crap. And it's more beautiful than fixing it—just being able to sit with them in it." -AbbyThis conversation might be exactly what your heart has been waiting for._____________________You're invited to 2 FREE Workshops coming up this June 5 & 10!!!
