After a wild four months, Karen returns to launch a new season focused on living Matthew 6:33 in real life—seeking first the Kingdom in our schedules, desires, and nervous systems. She shares a personal story (hello, unsold house with seven kids in tow!) and how God used disappointment to expose subtle idols and invite deeper surrender. Drawing on attachment and neuroscience, Karen explains how prayer and Christian meditation form a new, healing attachment to God that calms the body, restores peace, and fuels transformation. You’ll also hear about a new off-social community—Her Joyful Transformation—and an October Be Still & Know prayer challenge (15 minutes a day, guided). If you’re ready to trade rumination for rest and self-effort for grace, this one’s for you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How God uses disappointed plans to grow trust and dismantle quiet idols
A simple inventory for “seeking first” (time, focus, energy) in home and heart
Why joy is not optional for lasting change
The power of sisterhood and accountability for staying anchored in peace
Scriptures mentioned:
“Seek first the Kingdom of God…” (Matthew 6:33)
“The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 14:17)
Join the movement:
Community: Her Joyful Transformation — a social-media-free space to connect, share, and grow
