Episode 37: Dress Like Olive

Episode 40: Conviction and Correction

In this episode of The Olive Effect, Susie talks about what it means to live with purpose, surrender, and obedience to God. She shares why believers are still here on earth, how we are called to carry out His will, make Heaven crowded, and allow Him to use our lives for His glory. Susie also opens up about conviction in everyday choices, including reading spicy books, guarding the heart, and recognizing when something may be pulling us away from purity. She also talks about coveting, comparison, and the gentle correction of the Holy Spirit that leads us back to contentment, gratitude, and truth. A real, honest conversation about listening when God corrects, responding when He convicts, and choosing to live set apart.

Episode 39: Motherhood Beyond The Highlight Reel

In part two of this Mother’s Day conversation, Susie and her mom sit down for an honest look at the tender and complicated parts of motherhood. They talk about infertility, waiting on God’s timing when it does not look like your own, raising daughters in different seasons of life, and the balance between being honest, being close, and still being “mom.” This episode holds space for the ache, the laughter, the frustration, and the beauty of motherhood when it looks different than expected. It is a conversation about surrender, relationships, growing pains, and trusting that God is still writing a good story, even in the parts we would not have chosen ourselves.

Episode 38: The Glamorous Side of Motherhood

Motherhood is beautiful, stretching, emotional, glamorous, exhausting, sacred, and deeply refining all at once. In this special Mother’s Day conversation, Susie sits down with her mom to talk about the real side of motherhood and daughterhood through every season. Together, they share honest conversations about balancing multiple children, marriage, hormones, emotions, infertility, and the unseen weight mothers often carry while still creating a home filled with love and stability. They also dive into something so many women experience but rarely talk about: how mothers and daughters can remember the very same moments completely differently, and how love, communication, grace, and humility matter through it all. Full of laughter, wisdom, warmth, and honesty, this episode is a reminder that motherhood is not always glamorous, but it is deeply meaningful. A conversation about sacrifice, tenderness, resilience, and the beauty of showing up in love again and again through every season God places before you.

Episode 37: Dress Like Olive

In this episode, Susie talks about why putting effort into the way you present yourself matters more than people think. From getting ready even on ordinary days to finding a style that feels graceful, fun, and authentic, this conversation is all about embracing the beauty of being intentional. Dressing well is not vanity. It can be a reflection of confidence, care, joy, and the way you carry yourself. Because sometimes changing the way you feel starts with changing the way you show up
