Some nights seem darker and longer than others. We do not know when the sun will come back out, but we trust that it will (because it always has). For those times when the darker nights of our lives seem to be dragging on it helps to hold onto some absolutes. These are like street lights in that dark night. They are on all the time - and you see that most clearly at night. Here are three of those that I am learning more about and holding on to. I hope they are helpful for you in some way. 1. You...

One of the hardest things is to be able to put up the white flag for the battle that just don't matter. In the moment they may seem useful and the prizes worth it but in the eternal perspective they are nothing but smoke. In this very reflective episode I dove DEEP into 3 reasons why this mindset can be so helpful. I wasn't able to get an interview up but I thought you all would appreciate this episode. Hope it is helpful for those who feel stuck and are struggling with losing some of those batt...

Throughout my podcasting journey I've learned the major importance of having high energy levels. If my energy levels are low it is hard to pump out an episode. What do you do then when your energy levels are low and you don't know what to do next? Well, I hope that this episode helps with answering that question! 1. Creation - Take all that you are feeling and turn it into a poem, song, drawing, etc. 2. Connection - Share all that you are feeling with people you trust. 3. Recreation - Give all t...

I graduated from college nearly a month ago! I have had TONS of time to reflect and dig out some various gems and lessons for the next chapter of my life. Here are the three big ones that are my mind right now. 1. Those Were The Glory Days - I didn't realize it as much as I do now... but those days in college were the glory days! Even in the rough times there were still plenty of glorious moments and times. Towards the end of the experience I feel I more or less grinded the last days away. Now I...

Remember when you had those storms that raged and raged and then.... they were gone? Remember the relief of knowing that you made it to your destination, that despite all odds you got to the other side? That's kind of what it feels like to be graduated now. It's extremely humbling and I see so much more clearly how there were SO many people eager to help me through the storm. Even though I didn't take as full advantage of this help as I could've (there's always more we could do) I did learn tons...

Two weeks ago I challenged myself to get the rest of my college work done in a week. I had myself wake up early, exercised, and pretty much just did whatever I needed to do. I didn't make any excuses. It was a little crazy... and I did end up crashing a few days in. Overall it was a great learning experience though. Here's what I learned: 1. The power of marketing - 1:31 2. There's no going back for more self-care - when the time for performance has come the time for preparation has ended. 3. A ...

I am looking forward to documenting my journey more and taking a NICE break from pretty much everything haha. The end was honestly way more stressful than it needed to be. I struggled to keep the big picture in mind at times but I really called out to God and He sent many care packages and things to help me...

I am at a point in my life where I feel close to breaking some days. I don't know how I am going to make it past this part. I take comfort from knowing that God is faithful, mighty to save, and to encourage me in ALL of my battles, present and future. In this episode I dove into some times in my life where God's strength REALLY came in CLUTCH, and my stress turned into joy and peace!! I also shared how being more intentional leads to more joy and more choices. We need to trust in God's strength....

I am struggling right now. I did not plan ahead as well for this semester and kind of just survived from day to day and didn't celebrate when I was thriving as much. I was pretty hard on myself. It was beautiful and wonderful in a lot of ways but school-wise I have struggled a lot more than I needed to. I'll be back at it sooner rather than later. Thanks for your understanding and support.

I shared some stories about how the Lord has helped me to find hope not of this world. It's a wonderful thing to scatter sunshine to help in spreading His hope. :) Streaming on Twitch for me back in 2020 was an act of hope. It helped me to be more centered and secure and God helped me through it. I am SO glad He helped me with learning more and more to look forward with a perfect brightness of hope.

I graduate with my Bachelor's Degree from BYU-Idaho in 30 days! It is INSANE! I am getting more and more PUMPED and EXCITED for the next chapter of my life, and I am also seeking to blow the rest of this one OUT OF THE WATER! With that said though there is a need to take a step back and remind myself that to sprint endlessly without a plan of where I am going is not going to help me get where I need to go.
