Ever feel like you’re auditioning for love? We go straight at approval addiction—how it starts, how it quietly runs our lives, and how to break free by anchoring worth in God rather than in other people’s opinions. Through honest storytelling and a faith-forward lens, we trace the roots of people pleasing back to conditional love and abandonment, then map a path toward healing that restores identity, peace, and purpose.

We unpack the everyday signs of approval addiction—constant reassurance seeking, saying yes while depleted, shrinking your voice to avoid conflict—and connect them to the deeper fear of rejection. From there, we walk through the turning point: trading performance for presence by leaning on scripture. John 5:41 reframes the need for validation, Psalms 139:14 affirms design and dignity, Jeremiah 31:3 declares enduring love, John 15:16 names calling, and Galatians 1:10 challenges us to live for an audience of one. These verses aren’t slogans; they become daily anchors to replace lie-based scripts with truth.

You’ll hear practical tools to move from burnout to freedom: pausing before you say yes, setting boundaries without guilt, and using grounded affirmations to retrain your inner narrative. We also share reflection prompts to help you spot where approval is steering your choices and how to realign with purpose. Along the way, we invite you into community for accountability and growth, because lasting change takes support and steady practice.

Ever feel like your identity lives under a pile of titles, expectations, and old wounds? We go straight at the lie that your past or your job defines you and replace it with a freeing truth: your worth is already declared by God. Through personal stories, scripture, and hard-won lessons, we unpack how false labels form, why they stick, and what it looks like to live as God’s masterpiece rather than a sum of mistakes or achievements.

We talk candidly about intimidation and shrinking in certain rooms, the tug of people-pleasing, and the subtle ways success or struggle can become a mask. Then we map out a better way: anchoring identity in Christ, practicing daily renewal, and choosing assignments over accolades. You’ll hear Ephesians 2:10 and 1 Peter 2:9 come alive in practical steps—truth declarations to counter lies, rhythms that move you from empty to overflow, and a mindset shift from image to impact. The result is quiet confidence—what we call God-fidence—so you lead, serve, and love with clarity.

We also share how service can outshine status, why turning down more money can be an act of alignment, and how community, Bible study, and recovery tools accelerate healing. If you’re ready to stop negotiating your worth and start walking in purpose, this conversation offers the language, the scriptures, and the encouragement to begin.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your dream has an expiration date, this conversation was made for you. We unpack how to move from longing to action by creating space, setting SMART goals that respect real life, and surrendering the plan to God’s timing. I share the unfiltered story of going back to school at 30 as a single mom, the routines that kept our home steady, and the small steps that stacked into a degree, a book, and a calling. No hype—just honest momentum built one faithful choice at a time.

We also walk straight into the money room—lights on. Stewardship isn’t about guilt; it’s about purpose. From scarcity loops and impulse buys to tithing and zero-based budgets, we explore how to invite God into finances so your dollars tell a story of trust, not fear. You’ll learn practical ways to track progress, set achievable targets, and align your spending with what matters most. The goal is simple: become trustworthy with little so you can carry more with wisdom and peace.

Finally, we tie the full Empower Her journey together—healing the past, rebuilding confidence, and stepping into aligned action. When identity is set and goals are clear, you can pursue the dream in front of you without bowing to timelines or comparison. If your heart is stirring, join our next Empower Her 12-week coaching cohort launching January 4, 2026, and watch for our Black Friday Empower Her Makeover promotion.

Have you ever felt crushed under the weight of others' expectations? That constant pressure to be everything to everyone while somehow maintaining your own sense of self? In this transformative episode of MAMI on a Mission Podcast, we explore the journey from external validation to authentic empowerment.

Drawing from personal experience, I share my path from childhood fearlessness to shattered confidence through betrayal and criticism, and finally to rediscovery of worth through faith. We examine how confidence naturally erodes as we age, but can be powerfully rebuilt through truth and self-compassion. Romans 12:2 reminds us that transformation begins with renewing our minds—replacing harmful messages with God's perspective.

The heart of our conversation centers on four life-changing pillars: building confidence in Christ, developing faith-fueled resilience, finding balance through priorities rather than perfection, and living with purposeful impact. Each area represents a crucial step toward freedom from external pressures. We explore practical applications of scriptures like 2 Corinthians 12:9, where God's strength shines brightest in our weaknesses, and Matthew 11:28, which invites us to find rest in surrender rather than striving.

Perhaps most powerful is the recognition that your unique combination of natural talents and spiritual gifts exists for a divine purpose. You weren't created to merely meet others' expectations—you were designed for impact that reaches far beyond what conformity could ever achieve. Ready to break free from the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing and step into confident, purposeful living? This episode offers both inspiration and practical guidance for your journey. What expectations are you ready to release today?

What does it truly mean to stand boldly for your faith in a world that often misunderstands and rejects it? This raw, unfiltered episode delves into the tension between speaking truth and showing compassion as believers in today's polarized society.

Through vulnerable personal testimony, I share my journey from deep brokenness to bold purpose—including past struggles with abortion, infidelity, and other sins that once defined me. Rather than hiding these painful experiences, I reveal how God transformed my greatest shame into my most powerful testimony. This isn't about judgment but about hope: if God could change me, He can surely change you too.

We examine how media and cultural divisions tear families apart, while exploring a different path forward. True Christian witness requires speaking truth with love, listening genuinely instead of preparing defensive responses, and recognizing that God works uniquely in each person's life. As Matthew 24:14 reminds us, the gospel must be preached throughout the world—not through condemnation but through authentic testimony.

Drawing inspiration from public figures who boldly stood for Jesus despite criticism, I encourage you to live unafraid of external judgment while extending genuine compassion to others. Our calling isn't to tell people how to live but to point them to the One who gives life.

Ready to discover your God-given purpose and walk boldly in it? Subscribe now, share with a friend, and join our community of women who refuse to compromise their faith while still loving others well. Your story of transformation is just beginning.

Transformation begins with self-discovery, peeling back layers of hurt and false identities to reveal who we truly are. Season 8 kicks off by exploring the foundation of the Empower Her program: healing from past wounds, understanding our true identity, and trusting God's purpose.

• Healing requires releasing the hurts we've carried—whether rejection, betrayal, or loss
• Forgiveness isn't about excusing what happened but freeing our hearts
• Many of us become "chameleons," changing ourselves to fit in with different groups
• Finding our true identity starts with understanding we are children of God
• Learning to trust God means surrendering control and believing His plan is bigger
• Our past experiences aren't random but are preparing us for our purpose
• What seems like being a "jack of all trades" is often God weaving together our gifts

Enrollment for the Empower Her 12-week coaching program is opening soon! Class begins September 28th at 5pm Central Standard Time. Schedule your interview now and mention this episode to receive 25% off your enrollment. Spots are limited, so don't wait.

Feeling stuck in a cycle of pouring from an empty cup? Ready to reclaim your purpose and passion? This episode marks a powerful return after a restorative July break, where I share the profound shifts happening in both my personal journey and professional mission.

Fresh from completing my advanced life coach certification, I'm bringing enhanced tools and strategies to help multifaceted women create the lives they truly desire. I share the milestone of celebrating 17 years of marriage—a true testament to healing and transformation after surviving two previous marriages, including one marked by severe abuse. At age 30, I found myself rebuilding my entire life, rediscovering who I was beyond the roles of mother and provider. That journey of reinvention became the foundation for what MAMI on a Mission represents today.

As both the podcast and business celebrate their third anniversary, I reveal how a simple workout hashtag evolved into MAMI: Mujeres Alcanzando Metas Imposibles (Women Achieving Impossible Goals). The Bible study communities, weekly Zoom gatherings, and the new EmpowerHer Purpose program are creating spaces for women to heal, grow, and transform from the inside out. This 12-week coaching experience is designed specifically for women ready to stop living on autopilot and start walking confidently in their purpose.

The transformation we seek isn't always visible on the outside—the deepest healing happens within. When others notice something different about you but can't quite identify what's changed, that's when you know true transformation is happening. Ready to experience this shift? Grab a copy of my bestselling book, join our supportive community, or schedule an interview to see if the Empower Her Purpose program is your next step toward living a purposeful, passionate life aligned with your deepest values.
