Girlhood After Marriage: Is Your Husband Your Only Friend?

A Pause Before the Next Chapter

Season 1 is officially wrapped. Six episodes in, and I’ve learned a lot. About this podcast, about showing up, and about what I want this to become. I’m taking a short break to level things up behind the scenes before returning for Season 2. Better, clearer, and more aligned.

Submission: Cultural, Biblical… or Misused?

Submission. A word that makes some women uncomfortable… and some men very comfortable. In this episode, I unpack a cultural practice that sparked a deeper question in me: How much of what we call “submission” is really about God, and how much of it is just culture, tradition, or even control? We’re getting into: - The uncomfortable tension between cultural expectations and personal conviction - How submission has been misused—and why that matters - What the Bible actually says - Why submission might look very different from what you’ve been told This is an honest, thought-provoking conversation—not a rulebook.

ASK ME ANYTHING, DECK OF CARDS EDITION

In this Ask Me Anything: Deck of Cards Edition, I used random cards as prompts and let the conversation go wherever it wanted. From marriage and PDA to career changes, career pressure, and the fear of disappointing your parents. It’s honest, a little all over the place, and very real. No script, no plan — just me answering whatever comes up. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unmotivated, or unsure about where you’re going… this one will feel like a chat with a friend who’s figuring it out too.

Girlhood After Marriage: Is Your Husband Your Only Friend?

In this episode I unpack the subtle “promotion” of romantic relationships over all others. Why do we celebrate love… but quietly downgrade friendship?” I was told growing up that my husband should be my best friend… my only friend. And for a while, I believed that. But I don’t think that advice works for everyone, and I want to talk about why. And if you’ve ever felt left behind by a married friend… this conversation is for you too.

Having Kids: Love, Fear, or Expectation?

Why do we really have children? In this episode, I unpack the advice many of us grew up hearing; that you should have kids so you won’t be lonely, or that having children will strengthen your marriage. But are those reasons rooted in love… or fear? I reflect on a recent conversation with my parents, question traditional beliefs about motherhood, and explore a perspective that stopped me in my tracks: If a child could choose their parents… would they choose you right now? This is an uncomfortable, honest conversation about timing, intention, and the kind of life we’re building before bringing someone else into it.
