112 | How to Stop Feeling Behind: 3 Simple Time Management Shifts for Christian Women Who Want More

2026-02-1620:21

Do you ever feel busy all day… but still behind? In this episode, I’m sharing 3 simple time management hacks that are helping me get my time back — and let me just say, I am not a Type A personality. I’m more creative, go-with-the-flow… maybe even Type C if that’s a thing. 😅 This isn’t about becoming more intense, more rigid, or more like someone else. It’s about knowing yourself, leading yourself, and being intentional with the time God has given you. We’ll talk about: How to focus on what actually matters instead of doing “all the things” Why pre-planning your week eliminates decision fatigue How to identify and collapse energy leaks that are stealing your time And how to feel accomplished at the end of your day without burning out If you’re a woman who feels stretched thin, overwhelmed, or tired of living in catch-up mode, this episode will give you simple, practical shifts to help you move forward with clarity and peace. You don’t need more hours in your day. You need more intention with the ones you already have.

111 | 3 Hidden Habits Killing Your Momentum (And How God Is Calling You Forward)

2026-02-0924:10

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things, yet you still feel stuck, unmotivated, or like your momentum has quietly stalled? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, we’re talking about three hidden, often overlooked things that are killing your momentum and keeping you from stepping fully into the life and purpose God has for you. These aren’t obvious sins or loud distractions. They’re subtle patterns—ways of thinking and living that feel normal, even responsible—but slowly keep us from growing, moving forward, and trusting God with our next step. In this episode, we unpack: • Isolation disguised as independence: when self-reliance replaces community and we stop allowing others to support, challenge, and walk with us • Waiting for the “perfect moment” to celebrate: delaying joy, gratitude, and reflection because we believe we’re not “there yet” • Comparing ourselves to a past version of who we used to be: letting yesterday’s capacity, seasons, or expectations define what we believe is possible today Momentum isn’t just about productivity—it’s about alignment. When these unseen habits take root, they quietly steal clarity, confidence, and obedience. We may want to move forward, but we’re still living anchored to the past or waiting for conditions that may never be perfect. Here’s the truth: God is not speaking to you from where you’ve been, He is always calling you from where you’re going. He speaks from your future, inviting you to grow, stretch, trust, and become. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why your motivation feels off, this episode will help you identify what’s really going on beneath the surface and invite God into the process of moving forward with intention, faith, and renewed momentum. ✨ This is your reminder that you don’t have to stay where you are. You were created to move forward and God is already there, waiting for you.

109 | Healing Your Money Story: How Your Nervous System Shapes Your Relationship With Finances with Brigid Tebaldi

2026-01-2643:39

Why does money bring up so much fear, stress, or overwhelm, even when we’re doing “all the right things”? In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m joined by Brigid Tebaldi, a Nervous System + Identity Coach, to explore the deeper connection between your nervous system and your money story. So often, budgeting, saving, or managing finances triggers anxiety, fear, shame, or avoidance. Instead of just addressing the behavior and trying to force better habits, Brigid invites us to slow down and get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface. We talk about how your relationship with money may be rooted in early childhood experiences, learned patterns, and moments where your body learned whether money felt safe or threatening. When we begin to understand these connections, true healing and real financial freedom becomes possible. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why money stress is often a nervous system response How childhood experiences shape your financial habits today Why behavior modification alone doesn’t lead to lasting change How curiosity, compassion, and regulation can bring freedom around finances If budgeting makes you feel tense, finances trigger fear, or money conversations feel overwhelming, this episode will help you see your story through a new lens, one rooted in healing, awareness, and freedom rather than shame. ✨ This conversation is an invitation to stop fighting yourself and start understanding yourself so you can experience peace, safety, and confidence in this area of your life.

Parenting doesn’t suddenly get easier as kids grow — it just changes. In this honest and practical episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m joined by Nellie Harden, wife, mom of four daughters (ages 16–20), author, and speaker in family life and leadership, to talk all about what she calls “the great transition” — parenting in the middle years. We dive into the real-life challenges and opportunities that come with raising teens and young adults, from setting healthy phone boundaries to understanding different learning styles, meeting your children where they are, and creating meaningful one-on-one time with each child. Nellie also shares powerful tools for staying calm when you’re overstimulated, emotionally taxed, or tempted to react instead of respond. This conversation is a much-needed reminder that leadership in the home matters — especially in seasons of discipline, tension, and growth. Nellie encourages moms to lead by example, model emotional regulation, and create an environment where connection and character development can flourish. If you’re a mom navigating the in-between — no longer in the little years, but not quite on the other side — this episode will leave you feeling encouraged, equipped, and reminded that you’re not alone in this season. ✨ In this episode, we talk about: Parenting teens and young adults with wisdom and confidence Setting boundaries with phones and technology Understanding learning styles and meeting your kids where they are Creating intentional one-on-one time Staying calm when you feel overstimulated Leading by example in discipline and character 🎧 Tune in for encouragement, practical parenting wisdom, and a fresh perspective on raising the next generation well — even in the middle.

2026-01-0537:01

At the start of a new year, the noise of diet culture, quick fixes, and restrictive health trends is louder than ever. But what if true healing doesn’t start with another diet…it starts at the cellular level? In this eye-opening episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m joined by Cynthia from Rooted Wellness, a live blood analyst who is helping women uncover the root causes of their health challenges and begin healing from the inside out.

Visiting Cynthia was truly a life-changing experience for me, and I cannot recommend her work enough. This conversation pulls back the curtain on what our blood can reveal about inflammation, deficiencies, gut health, stress, and overall vitality — and why so many women stay stuck when they only treat symptoms instead of causes. 💡 In this episode, we talk about: What live blood analysis is and how it works How looking at health from a cellular level changes everything Healing the body from the inside out instead of chasing quick fixes What to consider if you’re ready to make real, lasting changes in your health this year If you’re tired of starting over every January, overwhelmed by health advice, or ready to finally understand what your body is trying to tell you — this episode will give you a fresh, empowering perspective. ✨ If you’re ready to make this the year you stop guessing and start healing, this conversation is for you.

As 2025 comes to a close, it’s easy to fall into comparison, regret, or the pressure of feeling like you didn’t do enough. In this final episode of the year, we’re talking about reflection—not rumination. This episode is an invitation to look back with grace, not judgment, and to move forward with faith, peace, and confidence in God’s timing.

104 | Trusting God in the Middle: Declaring God’s Truth When Life Feels Uncertain

2025-12-2217:32

What do you do when you’re standing in the middle, the space between God’s promise and its fulfillment? When answers feel delayed, emotions feel loud, and uncertainty tries to speak louder than faith? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we dive into what it truly means to trust God in the middle and why the words we speak matter more than we often realize. As believers, we always have a choice: we can agree with fear, circumstances, and opinions or we can declare the Word of God over our lives and situations. God’s Word is not just encouragement it is truth, and it always stands above feelings, culture, and human opinion. This episode will encourage you to anchor your faith in Scripture, speak life in uncertain seasons, and trust that God is working even when you can’t yet see the outcome. Together, we reflect on powerful verses that remind us where our trust belongs. If you’re in a season of waiting, believing, or learning to silence the noise around you, this conversation will help you recenter your heart on God’s promises and remind you that what God says will always outweigh what the world thinks. ✨ Because when we speak His Word, we align ourselves with truth — and truth always leads us forward. Scriptures Referenced: Proverbs 3:5-6 Jeremiah 17:7-8 Psalm 118:8 Romans 15:13 Psalm 20:7 Psalm 56:3-4 Psalm 37:3-5 1 Peter 5:10 Romans 8:28 Isaiah 60:22 Xoxo Coach Joy JOIN THE FREE 5 DAY BECOMING A WOMAN OF VALUE CHALLENGE 🥰🤩 Connect with me here: WEBSITE: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulfit_life/

In this week’s episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with Anna McHaughlin for a powerful and refreshing conversation on trusting God in the middle, especially when it comes to discovering and walking in your God-given purpose. Anna opens up about her own journey of trusting God through the unknowns and learning that purpose isn’t just about a position or platform… it’s about obedience, humility, and operating in your spiritual gifts right where you are. If you’ve ever compared your journey to someone else’s, felt behind, or questioned what your “purpose” really looks like, this conversation will breathe fresh faith into your heart. You’ll be reminded that God’s timing is perfect, His plan is personal, and your purpose is already being worked out — even in the middle. So grab your journal, press play, and be encouraged to trust God in the process and walk boldly in who He’s called you to be. 🎧 Tune in now for a heart-to-heart on: What purpose really means for believers How to identify and operate in your spiritual gifts Guarding your heart from comparison and pride Learning to walk humbly and trust God’s timing Xoxo Coach Joy Connect with Anna & her podcast HERE Link to Spiritual Gifts Assessment JOIN THE FREE 5 DAY BECOMING A WOMAN OF VALUE CHALLENGE 🥰🤩 Connect with me here: WEBSITE: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulfit_life/

102 | Trusting God in the Middle: Believing for your Husband with Cheyanne Porter

2025-12-0840:02

Today we’re kicking off a brand-new mini-series all about trusting God in the middle — those in-between seasons where the promise hasn’t fully come to pass, the prayers feel long, and yet we choose to believe anyway. In this heartfelt conversation, I’m joined by my dear friend Cheyanne, who vulnerably opens up about her ongoing journey of believing for her husband’s salvation. Her story is raw, real, and such a powerful reminder that faith isn’t just about celebrating the finish line — it’s about trusting God deeply in the process. The enemy loves to whisper lies that God isn’t faithful… that He’s silent, delayed, or uninterested in the details of our lives. But this episode pushes back against every single lie and points us back to the truth: God sees, God hears, and God moves… even when we can’t yet see the full picture. Though Cheyanne is still very much in “the middle,” her story shines with unwavering trust, holy confidence, and a peace that truly surpasses understanding. She shares how her faith has shaped her, refined her, and anchored her heart through the ups and downs. Her testimony is a beautiful reminder that even in seasons of waiting, God is writing a story far greater than we can imagine — and His promises are still yes and amen. If you’re in your own “middle” season, this conversation will breathe hope, encouragement, and renewed faith into your journey. You’re not alone, and God is not done.

99 | 3 Keys to Building Real Consistency (Even When Life Gets Busy)

2025-11-1716:41

As the year winds down and the holidays roll in, it’s so easy to lose momentum. Maybe you started strong this year - focused, intentional, full of faith…but somewhere along the way, life got busy. The calendar filled up, routines slipped, and now you’re tempted to say, “I’ll just start fresh in the new year.” But what if you didn’t have to wait for January 1st to get back on track? What if this season, right here in the middle of the hustle and bustle, could actually be the moment God teaches you what consistency really looks like? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we unpack 3 powerful keys to building consistency in your faith, habits, and daily life…especially when everything feels chaotic or out of rhythm. Remember, that consistency isn’t about perfection…it’s about progress. It’s showing up with what you have, trusting that God can multiply your small steps into something extraordinary. You’ll learn how to: 1️⃣ Forecast wisely - take an honest inventory of your current commitments, understand what this season actually requires of you, and plan from your present reality - not a past version of yourself. 2️⃣ Identify the true voice of consistency - the one that sounds like an encourager, a “sis” cheering you on and reminding you of your why, not the voice of perfection that criticizes every mistake. 3️⃣ Recenter your perspective with God’s truth - because as Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” If you’ve been feeling inconsistent, distracted, or ready to hit the reset button, this episode will encourage you to redefine what consistency looks like and remind you that God honors your obedience - not your perfection. ✨ Because consistency isn’t about doing everything right - it’s about showing up, trusting God with the process, and believing that He’s still working, even in the middle.

93 | Holy Nerves: Why Feeling Nervous and Excited Is a Sign of Growth

2025-10-0620:43

Are you feeling both nervous and excited about stepping into something new? That mix of emotions—what I like to call being “nercivited”—isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s actually a sign of growth. In this episode of Overwhelmed to Overcomer, we explore the power of eustress—the “good stress” that motivates us to grow, take courageous steps, and walk in God’s purpose for our lives. We’ll look at how anticipation (whether it’s starting a new job, planning a vacation, trying a new workout, or pursuing a new relationship) can stretch us in healthy ways.
