The Weekly Dwell: The Victim Trap (Part 1)
This week’s Weekly Dwell is a heavier (but important) conversation. I’m talking about something that has stolen joy from my life in the past and still tries to creep in if I’m not careful: the victim trap.This mindset shows up everywhere—in business, marriage, parenting, leadership, and friendships...and often hides behind our best qualities like perseverance, responsibility, and drive. In this episode, I share personal stories of how those gifts can quietly turn into self-sabotage when fear and control take over.Part two is coming next week. Thanks for list...

The Weekly Dwell: Knowing The Nature of Something
The nature of something changes the outcome...and how that’s true in our walk with God. In this episode I'm sharing a simple, real-life story that led me to think about why faith can feel different in certain seasons, even when we’re doing the same outward things.This is an invitation to slow down, seek Him more intentionally, and grow in understanding who He really is.Scripture I’m dwelling on:“If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right ha...

The Weekly Dwell: When Hope Becomes Real
This is the final episode in our Advent Weekly Dwell series. I share how hope doesn’t usually become real for me by accident...it requires a decision.The Christmas story reminds me that even when Jesus was born, very few people actually knew or recognized what had happened.Hope entered the world quietly, and it had to be sought out.It’s never too late to turn your heart toward Him. Even three days before Christmas, we can choose to seek, to soften, and to let the story of Jesus change us... and...

How My AlphaGal Was Healed with Acupuncture
Last year I ate a steak and woke up in the middle of the night thinking, “This is it… I might actually die.”My eyes were swollen shut, my body was one big hive, my blood pressure tanked and I collapsed on the bathroom floor. That night led to a diagnosis I had never even heard of before: alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-borne allergy to mammal products that so many people are being told is a life sentence.MENTION: Dr. Labelle – SAAT Provider in Virginia BeachMy Blog on Alpha Gal📲 FREE...

The Weekly Dwell: He Didn't Have To - Why Jesus Came The Way He Did
Welcome to week two of our Advent Weekly Dwell series.

God wasn’t after a power show. He was after connection. He came close, entered our world as a baby, and lived in our shoes so we could know His love and trust His heart.This wee...

Ep. 33 | How to Serve a Client Who Isn't a Perfect Fit
Today's podcast is inspired by a recent KJ All-Access episode. In that episode the bride had very different taste than what I personally prefer and wouldn't be considered a "typical" KJ Bride. BUT I still had to show up on her wedding day and serve her as best as I possibly could. So today I want to talk through what that looks like and how you can serve your clients well, even when they're not the perfect fit!KJ FREEBIE DOWNLOADS | https://geni.us/kj-freebiesWEBSITE | https://geni.us/katelyn-jamesBLOG...

Ep. 32 | The Proven Business Strategy that Hasn't Changed in 15 years
The business world (and just the world in general) looks A LOT different today than it did 15 years ago when I started my business. But as my business has changed and evolved over the years one thing has stayed the same: the power of a personal brand. I've noticed that many of our student's struggle with applying this concept to their own businesses for a number of reasons: so in this episode I'm sharing WHY personal branding is still important and debunking some beliefs that many make up as to why it can't work for them....

Purposefully Slowing Down with Katelyn James
You're listening to The Goal Digger Podcast, Episode 036. Today I'm inviting my sweet friend Katelyn James, an incredible photographer, educator and now a mother, onto the podcast. We talk all about purposely slowing down and recognizing the need for different seasons in our lives and in our businesses, and how this relates to marriage, parenting and entrepreneurship.
