What does it really mean to live a good and flourishing life – and how do virtues fit into that picture? This week, I’m diving into a topic I didn’t expect to love quite so much: virtue. When I first studied it earlier this year, I had no idea how deeply it was tied to human flourishing, calling, and spiritual growth. But what I discovered changed the way I think about faith, purpose, and the way we live out our vocation every day.
In this episode, I’ll unpack what virtues are, why they matter so much for those of us who want to reflect Christ in our work and relationships, and how they’re essential to living a truly fruitful and flourishing life. I’ll also share some of my own challenges in ministry – like striving, busyness, comparison, and people-pleasing – and how God’s grace has met me in each one.
Whether you’re in formal ministry, leading in your workplace, or simply trying to live faithfully in the everyday, this conversation will encourage you to grow in Christlike character and to see your calling through the lens of virtue and grace.

This week has stretched me thin - renovations, solo parenting, and a whole lot of chaos! In the middle of the noise and the mess, I’ve been reminded how easy it is to chase what’s temporary and forget where true strength and beauty come from. In this episode, I share honestly about feeling weary and how God has been meeting me through Isaiah 40 - a passage that reminds us that while everything else fades, His Word stands forever. If you’ve been feeling tired, distracted, or longing for something steady to hold onto, join me as we rediscover the beauty of resting in God’s unchanging strength.

In this episode, I’m diving into a word that might not sound glamorous — but it’s truly the secret to lasting transformation in every area of life: sustainability. If you’ve ever started a new diet, workout plan, or routine with all the best intentions, only to burn out or give up a few weeks later, this one’s for you. I share honestly about my own years of stop–start habits and what finally helped me build healthy rhythms that actually last — including how lowering the bar with movement turned me from a “wannabe runner” into a true walker (and eventually, a hiker at heart!). We’ll talk about why sustainability matters, what it looks like in real life, and how to apply it specifically to your eating habits — with practical, grace-filled encouragement for creating meals that are both physiologically and psychologically satisfying. Because the truth is, the goal isn’t perfection — it’s building a lifestyle that works for your real life, in your real season. By the end, you’ll see why slow and steady really does win the race — and how falling in love with the process (not just the outcome) leads to peace, freedom, and long-term success in your health and faith journey.

In this week’s episode, I share my journey of finally embracing resistance training and how I’m using James Clear’s Atomic Habits to make it stick. I talk honestly about the resistance I’ve had to lifting weights, the stories I’ve told myself, and how I’m learning to trust both God and myself to take consistent, faithful action. I break down the four laws of behaviour change and show how I’ve applied them to create a simple, sustainable habit - complete with cues, rewards, and strategies that make it obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying. Whether you’re trying to build new habits, grow in self-trust, or simply show up for yourself in small, meaningful ways, this episode is full of encouragement, practical tips, and a reminder that God works in you every step of the way.
The book I talk about in today’s episode is: “Atomic Habits” by James Clear and you can buy it here: https://www.amazon.com.au/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/1847941834/ref=sr_1_5?crid=NWHNKKYIF8E9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yvc_9yf_fYhl6GPOnnmZzYGHCaRleLODwJIzzXrQ3UOc8ol4UFa4UeTauH5YCSfBG4N9dU-c_IuJvN5PJdlkKDcb8nMSElmAAxGVxs6fqYuvmNuKCl1gWWmZOVIARWo5aK5pEATYBBIDZSqkQAA3ZtoJButxRxJKRxfz--kjPt9Qmb3hOFhx4fCWrqVoAdV8A4iG3aubqat57Bh1c3aEcHpgp-vDHoYnW0uB84TdTIdMUpH944D4Q5rL7shV1pxP2VyrFypi-6-6YS2duMZZc4-fSS_3fFzPm004hZ3UL3o.CpGXUp91xXk2QUYZZGajPrfUeGC-_RA9phAnVv6TqI0&dib_tag=se&keywords=Atomic+Habits&qid=1760353022&sprefix=atomic+habit%2Caps%2C255&sr=8-5

In this episode, I get personal and dive into a topic that touches so many of us - body image. I share my own journey, from loving my body as a dancer in childhood to experiencing shame, criticism, and the long-lasting impact of negative body image after pregnancy and childbirth. We explore where these struggles come from - cultural pressures, family influences, personal experiences - and how they take root early in life. Then, we look at the Bible, from Genesis 3 to the New Testament, to see how sin distorts our perception and how Jesus offers true restoration. I unpack practical and biblical ways to start seeing ourselves as God sees us, free from shame, clothed in Christ, and on the path to a healthier, God-centred view of our bodies.

In this episode, I’m opening up about those tough “bad body image” days we all have - when our reflection, our clothes, or even our stomach feels off, and it’s tempting to spiral into self-criticism, restrictive habits, or emotional eating. I share four practical ways I’ve learned to navigate these moments with grace, perspective, and faith. From avoiding body checking and negative self-talk, to choosing comfortable clothing and nourishing your body with balance, I want to remind you that your worth isn’t defined by a number on the scale or what the mirror shows. It’s rooted in God’s love for you and the intentional way He made you.

In this episode, I continue the conversation from last week by sharing why being at my heaviest weight has also meant being at my healthiest-spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. I unpack how restrictive dieting and disordered eating once kept me trapped, and how Jesus called me out of diet culture and into freedom. Then, we turn to the powerful image of the sponge at the crucifixion, exploring its historical context, prophetic links to Passover, and how even the sour wine points us to the finished work of Christ. Together we’ll see how the enemy wants to keep us focused on our bodies and our weight, but how Jesus invites us to shift our gaze to His body, broken for us, and to the greater weight of His glory.

In this episode, I share a personal word the Lord gave me about reframing the thoughts we have about our bodies-specifically the nagging, familiar thought, “I’m so heavy, I need to lose weight.” I talk about how we can take these thoughts captive, submit them to Christ, and replace them with His truth! I also share a beautiful prophetic picture Holy Spirit gave me of a sponge-how being filled with His Spirit makes us grounded, useful, and overflowing to impact others. I also dive into 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 and Psalm 23, showing how scripture equips us to meditate on God’s provision, presence, and promise. This episode is Part 1 of a two-part series on the sponge, and I give a little teaser of what’s coming in Part 2, where we’ll explore the sponge at the crucifixion. If you’ve ever felt defined by your weight, struggled with body image, or wondered how to take thoughts captive and submit them to God, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I share how my personal experiment of deleting social media from my phone is going and how I’ve noticed how it affected my mind, my mood, and my spiritual life. I explore why chasing self-improvement, quick fixes, or even “good” content like podcasts can leave us hungry, and why God’s presence offers the only true, lasting satisfaction. Together, we unpack Isaiah 55 and Philippians 1:6, discovering how to step off the self-improvement treadmill and delight in the transforming, sanctifying power of God in our lives.

In this episode, we dig into Proverbs to uncover practical ways to nourish our souls and live fruitful lives. We start by exploring the appetites of the soul and how to feed them in ways that truly satisfy. Then, we turn to the ant as a surprising teacher of diligence, preparation, and foresight. We also unpack the potential and fruitfulness God has planted in each of us, showing how our everyday choices cultivate lasting impact. Finally, we uncover what true satisfaction in God looks like, learning how to partner with Him to experience His fullness every day.

Are you stuck in the exhausting cycle of starting a diet, losing some weight, slipping back into old habits, regaining the weight - and then starting all over again? This episode dives deep into the diet cycle - what it is, why it happens, and how it keeps so many women trapped in frustration and self-blame.
I’ll walk you through each stage of the cycle so you can picture it clearly, recognise where you might be in it right now, and understand why breaking free isn’t just about “more willpower.” You’ll discover the hidden emotional and spiritual toll dieting takes, and why this is a problem we can’t afford to overlook.
If you’ve ever wondered why you keep ending up back where you started, and how to finally step off the merry-go-round, this conversation will be a game-changer.

This week, I’m diving into one of the most mysterious and powerful stories in the Old Testament - the night Jacob wrestled with God in Genesis 32. It’s raw, intense, and deeply symbolic, and I believe it speaks to something many of us feel but don’t often talk about: what does it really mean to wrestle with God?
In this episode, I unpack the story, share what it reveals about identity, surrender, and blessing, and explore five different ways we can wrestle with God in our own lives - not in rebellion, but in honest, persistent faith. Whether you're in a season of struggle or simply feeling spiritually stuck, I pray this episode encourages you to hold on a little longer… because the blessing might be in the wrestle.

In this episode, I’m sharing a short communion message that reminds us of the richness and meaning behind the Lord’s table. Communion isn’t just a symbolic act or a mouthful of bread and juice - it’s a sacred meal that points us to the fullness we have in Christ. From the wedding at Cana and the feeding of the five thousand, to the early church’s Love Feasts, we see a God who fills, satisfies, and invites us to receive abundantly. Whether you’re in a dry season or just need a quiet moment to refocus, may this reflection draw your heart back to Jesus and the grace He freely gives.

Striving often gets a bad rap – and for good reason. Many of us associate it with burnout, pressure, and performance. But what if not all striving is bad? In this episode, I explore the difference between striving in our own strength and striving with God. We look at Proverbs 14:4 – “Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean…” and how this earthy image invites us to embrace the mess that often comes with real fruitfulness. We also reflect on Elisha’s call in 1 Kings 19, where he leaves behind the oxen and the plough to follow a new path – one marked not by striving in his own strength, but by surrender and divine partnership with God.
If you’re feeling weary or exhausted, driven, or unsure whether your work is bearing fruit or your effort is leading anywhere, this conversation will help you pause, reflect, and realign your striving with grace.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the topic of dreams – not the ones you have while sleeping, but the God-given dreams planted deep within your heart. Have you been dreaming with God lately? Or has life left you feeling stuck, dry, or disconnected from the desires He’s placed inside you? I’ll share some personal stories about the fresh dreams God’s been stirring in me (including one about starting a coaching business for Christian women – something I never expected!).
We’ll also unpack the difference between wellbeing and wellness, and why that matters for this podcast moving forward. I’ll explain what wellness culture is – its focus on self-optimisation, hustle, and perfection – and why a biblical view of wellbeing offers something far more holistic, healing, and life-giving.
You’ll hear about the new direction God’s leading me in and how it will shape the kind of faith-based, Scripture-rooted encouragement you’ll continue to hear on the show.
So if you’re ready to reconnect with your God-given dreams, reflect on your own journey of spiritual, emotional, and physical wellbeing, and explore how to live with purpose in Christ – not just follow the next wellness trend – this episode is for you.
