If you're seeking a mentor, would love someone to pour into you, or are praying for someone wise to show up and counsel you...but don't know what that looks like, this episode is going to BLESS you.

"I Will Never Be an Entrepreneur. All I Want is Safety and Security" -From Global, Multi-Business Founder, Tiffany Alysa-Accardi

What if you're not behind—what if you're right where God has placed you, on a path towards His vision, simply based on each obedient yes? Raised by her grandmother, Tiffany grew up not feeling chosen. So she did what so many of us do, Tiffany strove to be perfect. The Good girl. To do nothing wrong. She focused on safety and security. Get a secure corporate job. Climb that ladder. Stay. Safe. Be. Loved. God had a very different, mind-blowing vision in mind for Tiffany's life. Tiffany Alyssa Cardi - struggling in her own loneliness and hardships and seeking friends as a single woman in a new town - decided to try something. She had no idea if anyone would show up, not knowing the world was about to be dramatically impacted. Tiffany's one act of obedience led her to be the founder of Gals That Brunch, a global community movement that started with one morning meal and now reaches over 200,000 women in 155 cities across 33 countries. 🙌 This episode is about so much more than brunch—this is about stewardship, vision, and God's timing. Tiffany shares how God walked with her through media, ministry, and entrepreneurship—including (this was one of my BIGGEST questions!) how she bought an Airbnb in Italy and is now launching her own olive oil company (yes, really 🍈🇮🇹). All while helping women rise into their God-given callings. In this conversation of hope and encouragement, no matter your past, no matter what your family of origin looked like, listen in on: ✨ The surprising story behind founding Gals That Brunch ✨ Why in-person connection is still so powerful in a digital age ✨ How to navigate faith in secular spaces without shrinking back ✨ What discipline, stewardship, and vulnerability really look like in the daily walk ✨ Tiffany's leap of faith that led her to international entrepreneurship ✨ Encouragement for anyone who feels "late," behind, or like they've missed their moment Whether you feel God calling you to launch a dream or want to finally feel the hope and confidence of Christ in everyday life, this conversation will stir something in your spirit. It's a reminder that God's vision never returns void—but it does ask for your "yes."

Single, Christian, and in Your 30s: The Silent Aches No One Talks About

Last year, I wrote an article about the pain of reaching age 32 as a Christian and still being unmarried. Because with all my heart I looked to trust the Lord, to love Jesus, and...slapping verses on my emotions didn't mean I felt constant, hopeful joy in many of the realities and confusions I faced. I did not and will not sugar coat how I felt before meeting my now husband. I was jaw-dropped at the number of messages and DMs I received from that article. It showed something. The loneliness and unique pain of being a single Christian over age 30 is a big deal, and there are silent pains and isolations I felt called to bring into the light. In this episode, you'll sit with me as I share things I really haven't heard talked about anywhere else. *Buying a home single...and how devastating that was *Examples of conversations and sentences that can be so hurtful as a single Christian in your 30s...that feel impossible to admit *Some of the things I witnessed in ministry that weren't wrong and are beautiful, but felt like a proverbial knife again and again *The exhaustion from doing so much of life and decisions alone - for so long *The struggle and question around advice that only focuses on the words "Trust God" - without the other pieces involved Someone today is going to feel witnessed. Someone is going to feel seen. The heartbeat of this episode is you know you're NOT alone. That you are SEEN. Our stories may not match exactly, but the pain of our unique shared experience I sense will still connect us. I pray this episode sheds a light to address some of these shackles. 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:54 The Unique Pain of Singleness in Your Thirties 01:24 Addressing the Validity of Singlehood Emotions 06:39 The Impact of Church Leadership on Singlehood Perception 18:22 Personal Struggles and God's Guidance 23:18 The Challenges of Managing Life Solo 26:35 Empathy and Understanding for Singlehood 45:44 Hope and Encouragement for the Future 🎧 Subscribe & Share If this podcast spoke to you, share it with a friend and leave a review to help more listeners discover the healing power of Holy F! the podcast.
