Who am I when I’m free and why does it even matter? This is the question that has spurred me on for years now. If you’ve ever wondered why there is a gap between who you are and who you were meant to be, join me on the journey.
Episode 35: Unseen
What messages have you received about what God sees when He looks at you? If you are like me, the messages I received in my childhood and beyond about God’s view of me formed me in ways I could not understand. It wasn’t until I began to grapple with all the ways I had tried to be seen, while still feeling deeply unseen, that I discovered that seeing myself through God’s eyes changes everything.

Episode 32: When Way Closes
When questions around calling or other types of discernment arise, the Quakers have a saying. “Way will open,” they say. But what happens when way does not indeed open? What do we do when way actually closes, leaving us disappointed and questioning our calling and our longings? In this episode, I share a story about a moment when way opened suddenly and then closed just as abruptly and how I can now see the good gifts in the disappointment. Listen in.
