Hot Topics of the Heart

Hello Friend! Here’s hoping and praying you had a lovely and relaxing Thanksgiving with your family/friends! I recently had the pleasure of attending Soul Camp 2024, hosted by Jess Connolly & Go + Tell Gals, in the beautiful town of Charleston, South Carolina. (I may have fallen in love and want to retire there one…

Hello Friend, With Thanksgiving just a few days away, I know that for many, this season can feel different-especially when we are missing someone/people we love. It can be difficult to embrace the joy of the holidays when grief weighs heavy on our hearts. If you’re walking through this season with sorrow, I want to…

Hello Friend! I want to share an important insight that can profoundly impact your emotional well-being. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to simultaneously hold both anxiety or fear AND gratitude in your mind.
