In this episode, I’m talking about something that’s been on my heart lately — learning to let people go. It’s not about bitterness or blame. It’s about recognizing when someone’s season in your life has come to an end, and giving yourself permission to release them with peace. I share what I’ve been walking through personally — the tension between wanting to hold on and knowing that God sometimes calls us to let go. Letting go doesn’t mean you stopped caring. It means you’re trusting that not everyone is meant to go where you’re going. In this episode, I talk about: How to know when a relationship no longer aligns with your growth The difference between loyalty and alignment What it looks like to release people with grace instead of resentment How faith gives us peace when God closes a door If you’re in a season of pruning, or you’re realizing some relationships no longer feel the same, I hope this episode reminds you that letting go isn’t rejection — it’s redirection.

What if praying for your children isn’t about finding the right words, but about trusting the right One? In this episode of Brewing Better, we talk about what it really means to pray for our kids — not just in crisis, but in every season. The quiet moments. The growing years. The in-between spaces where it feels like nothing’s changing, but God is still moving. The truth is, prayer isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence. It’s showing up, surrendering control, and trusting that God hears even the prayers we can’t put into words. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why prayer is one of the most powerful things you can do for your children How to pray when you’re tired, unsure, or overwhelmed The difference between trying to fix things and covering them in prayer How to let go of fear and pray with bold, confident faith Whether you’re a mom, aunt, sister, or mentor — this episode is a reminder that your prayers matter more than you think. You don’t need to have it all figured out; you just need a heart willing to pray. Follow brewing better: @brewingbetter Follow Noor on TikTok: @noorsaavedra
In this episode, I talk honestly about procrastination — not just as a time issue, but a heart issue. Whether it's fear of failure, fear of success, or needing everything to be perfect before we start… it’s deeper than just “laziness.” I also dive into Jonah’s story — how running from what God asks of us can look a lot like procrastination. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re “waiting for the right time,” this conversation is for you. ✨ Real talk. No pressure. Just a space to reflect, reset, and take the next small step. I’m unpacking: What’s really behind procrastination Why “just be disciplined” isn’t the full answer Jonah, calling, and running the other way How faith can move us forward — without shame 🎧 Whether you're in high school or figuring out life in your 30s, this one’s for every woman who knows there’s more… but hasn’t started yet.
What if the fear of failure is the very thing holding you back from what God has for you? In this episode of Brewing Better, we dive into how to overcome the fear of failure and trust God’s plan even when we feel afraid to take the next step. The truth is, fear of failure can keep us stuck—afraid to try, afraid to dream, afraid to move forward. But God doesn’t call us to live in fear; He calls us to walk in faith. When we shift our perspective and see failure through His eyes, fear loses its power. In this episode, you’ll discover: What the Bible says about fear and failure How to trust God when you’re afraid to fail Why the fear of failure often holds us back from our calling Practical ways to move forward with courage and faith Encouragement for anyone battling self-doubt or perfectionism Remember: Fear is a liar—but God is faithful. You don’t have to let the fear of failure stop you from stepping into the purpose He’s designed for you. Follow brewing better: @brewingbetter Follow Noor on TikTok: @noorsaavedra
