Episode 17 - Grace For The Holidays: Boundaries, Triggers & Peace

In this episode, I talk about the importance of setting healthy boundaries, especially during the holiday season.

This time of year can stir emotional stress, family pressure, and old patterns we thought we’d outgrown.I share why guilt often shows up when you start choosing yourself, and why that doesn’t mean you’re wrong.

Boundaries are not about controlling others; they’re about self-stewardship, self-respect, and emotional health. You are allowed to say no, limit access, and choose how long you stay in draining conversations or situations.

As we close the year, I’m inviting you to go deeper.✨ The Cycle Breaker Reset is officially open (January 14th–16th, 2026), for women ready to break unhealthy cycles, reset emotionally, and rebuild with intention.

Episode 16 - The Audacity to Grow: Faith, Courage & the Standards You Carry

In this reflective and timely episode of the Rise & Rebuild Podcast, I invite you into an honest conversation about growth — the kind that stretches you, exposes fear, and requires courage.

As we approach the end of the year and the holiday season, many women find themselves quietly auditing their lives: what worked, what didn’t, and what still feels heavy beneath the “Merry Christmas.” This episode speaks directly to that space.

This is not an episode about pressure, performance, or having it all figured out.It’s an invitation to honesty, awareness, and alignment.

✨ In This Episode, We Talk About:

Why faith isn’t usually the problem — courage is

The fear of being seen growing and judged by people who knew the “old you”

How fear disguises itself as “waiting,” “staying quiet,” or “doing it later”

Why comfort can sometimes sound spiritual but keep you stuck

The role your standards (values) play in relationships, work, and peace

Why you can’t pray your way into a life your standards don’t support

The difference between audacity and arrogance

How growth requires courage — especially when it makes others uncomfortable

Gentle end-of-year reflection questions to help you realign

🤍 Reflection Questions to Sit With:

Where am I playing small because growth would make people uncomfortable?

Where have I lowered my standards just to feel accepted or safe?

Where is God nudging me to move — and I keep saying “later”?

Where am I afraid of being seen becoming someone new?

Episode 15 - Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: What If You’re the Problem?

In this episode of the Rise and Rebuild Podcast, I’m talking about a hard but necessary part of healing—looking in the mirror.

I walk through simple checks that help us see our patterns, take responsibility, and partner with God as we rebuild.

Episode 14 - Gratitude: The Things You Didnt Thank God For...

In this episode of the Rise and Rebuild Podcast, I’m reflecting on the power of gratitude, especially during the Thanksgiving season. This conversation is deeply personal. I share parts of my own journey through hardship, healing, and the unexpected ways gratitude found me along the way.


We talk about what I call “gratitude in hindsight”, those moments where you only recognize the blessing after the pain has passed. I also invite you to consider a different kind of gratitude: thanking God not just for what you have now, but for what you’re still waiting on. This episode is about faith, trust, and learning how to honor the process even when it doesn’t make sense yet.


If you’ve ever struggled to feel grateful in the middle of uncertainty… this one is for you.

✨ Join Our Community

We have a powerful community on Skool called ⁠The Cycle Breaker Tribe⁠, for women who are committed to healing, breaking generational cycles, growing emotionally, and doing the inner work together.


📓 Get the Gratitude Journal

We also have a⁠ Gratitude Journal⁠ available on Amazon to help you practice daily reflection, faith, and intentional thanksgiving.


Takeaways:

Gratitude can be found even in difficult times.

Thanksgiving is a time for reflection and appreciation.

Healing often comes after experiencing hardship.

Gratitude in hindsight reveals the blessings of past struggles.

Trusting the process is essential for personal growth.

Practicing gratitude can shift your perspective on life.

It’s important to thank God for the journey, not just the destination.

Gratitude should include appreciation for future blessings.

Self-love and acknowledging your growth truly matter.

Your story is still being written, and it’s not over yet.

Episode 13 - The Family You Came From… and the Family That Comes From You

In this episode of Rise and Rebuild, I’m diving into a conversation many of us avoid, the impact of family dysfunction and why it keeps following us into adulthood.


I talk about the moments we silence ourselves “for the sake of peace,” the ways we carry our parents’ patterns into our marriages and parenting, and how easily love turns into control when we don’t heal what hurt us.


I share why the family you came from can damage the family that comes from you, until you say “enough.”

And I walk you through what it means to build a healthy home, set boundaries without guilt, navigate in-laws with wisdom, and reparent yourself so you can finally breathe again.


This episode is both a reminder and a challenge:

You are the cycle breaker.

You get to choose a different legacy.

You get to build peace, even if you never saw it growing up.**


And because you don’t have to do this work alone…

Join The Cycle Breaker Tribe


A free, safe, sacred community for women who are healing, rebuilding, unlearning generational patterns, and choosing healthier families and healthier futures.


✨ Takeaways


The family you came from can damage your own until you say “enough.”

Dysfunction doesn’t disappear with age, it follows us until we heal it.

Control dressed as “family” is still control.

You can love your family without letting them run your home.

Reparenting yourself is non-negotiable for emotional health.

New family agreements protect your peace and your children.

Expect resistance when you break old patterns.

Your past does not define how your home will function.

You are the chain breaker in your family line.

Choose to build a legacy grounded in peace, not pressure.

Episode 12 - The first born Daughter Diaries Part 2: Our Relationship With Our Mothers

In this episode, I dive deep into one of the most tender and complex dynamics in a first-born daughter’s life, her relationship with her mother.

As a Cycle Breaker, I’ve seen how many of us grew up carrying weight that was never ours to begin with. In this conversation, I unpack why first-born daughters often step into the role of a parent at home: She carries the emotional burden of the home, becoming the strong one, the fixer, and even the peacemaker, when her mother or mother figure is present and how to gently unlearn this.

I share powerful truths about remothering yourself, creating healthy boundaries, supporting your mother without losing yourself, and learning to embody the role you were always meant to have: daughter, not savior.

This episode will help you breathe deeper, release guilt, and begin rebuilding your mother-daughter connection from a healthier, more grounded place.

Takeaways

  • You can love your mother without absorbing her pain.

  • Boundaries are an act of love, not rejection.

  • Supporting your mother should never cost you yourself.

  • Remothering yourself heals the little girl who had to be “strong.”

  • Nurturing your inner child restores balance and safety.

  • You can honor your mother and still build something different.

  • Letting go of emotional burdens doesn’t make you ungrateful, it makes you healthy.

Episode 10 - The Angry First Born Daughter Theory

If you are the firstborn daughter, this one is for you!

You are the one who had to grow up fast, hold everything together, be the strong one, the responsible one, and also the one who doesn’t get to fall apart.

This episode is a gentle reminder that your anger is not who you are; it’s a signal. A signal that you are tired. That you need support. That you deserve rest too.

Today I share my own journey as a firstborn daughter; the burnout, the guilt, the pressure, the unspoken expectations, and what it means to begin healing without abandoning the people you love.Healing here doesn’t look like cutting everyone off.It looks like learning to love yourself, too.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why firstborn daughters often carry more than their hearts were ready for
  • The hidden exhaustion behind “being the strong one”
  • How anger can be a messenger, not a flaw
  • Releasing guilt without losing love
  • What it looks like to rest without feeling like you’re “failing”
  • Returning to yourself; not who your family needed, but who you are
  • And why choosing peace is not selfish, it’s sacred


Takeaways:

  • Firstborn daughters are conditioned to be responsible, even when it costs them emotionally.
  • Anger is often unspoken grief; for the childhood you didn’t fully get to have.
  • Boundaries do not mean disrespect.
  • They mean love with truth.
  • Healing the anger beneath the surface is how we break generational patterns.
  • You deserve rest, joy, softness and support; not only survival.

Episode 9 - Take it Easy on Yourself, Healing isn't Linear

Today’s conversation is straight from my heart. If you’ve ever found yourself slipping back into old habits or emotions and instantly started beating yourself up for it — this one’s for you.


Between motherhood, marriage, work, and purpose, I had one of those rare quiet moments and realized: we are way too hard on ourselves when it comes to healing.


In this episode, I open up about the reality of the healing journey — how it’s never a straight line, how the same lessons sometimes show up again, and why grace has to walk with you every step of the way.


💭 In this episode, we’ll talk about:

  • Why falling back into old patterns doesn’t mean you’ve failed
  • How to recognize that healing moves in circles, not straight lines
  • What to do when you’re triggered by old wounds or emotions
  • Practical ways to pause, reflect, respond differently, and recenter
  • The truth about giving yourself grace while God continues to teach and grow you

Takeaways

  • Take it easy on yourself during the healing process.
  • Healing is not a linear journey; it's layered and complex.
  • Falling back into old habits doesn't mean you're failing.
  • Healing is a marathon, not a sprint.
  • Triggers can show where healing still needs to happen.
  • Growth is about learning and evolving, not perfection.
  • Comparison to others' healing journeys is unhelpful.
  • Every setback is an opportunity for another round of practice.
  • Self-compassion is crucial in the healing process.
  • Your past does not define your future.

Episode 6 - Are you healing or are you hiding? Escapes, Numbing & the Truth Behind Hiding

So many of us know how to function — we show up, serve, smile, and keep going — but few of us truly know how to heal.


In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about the difference between healing and hiding. Because sometimes what looks like strength is really survival. Sometimes what we call faith is actually fear. And often, what people praise as “having it all together” is just us trying not to fall apart.


We talk about the hidden ways we cover our pain — through busyness, perfectionism, helping others, overachieving, and pretending we’re fine — while quietly carrying exhaustion, shame, grief, and fear.

But here’s the truth:

You can’t heal what you keep pretending doesn’t hurt.And God can’t restore what you refuse to reveal.

🌱 Key Takeaways:

  • Hiding may keep you safe, but it keeps you stuck.

  • Healing begins when you get honest — with yourself, with God, and with your truth.

  • Pain doesn’t go away when ignored; it only finds new ways to speak.

  • Real strength is found in surrender, not suppression.

02:38 The Struggle of Hiding vs Healing

05:55 Understanding Why We Hide

11:46 The Consequences of Hiding

13:18 Steps to Start Healing

19:21 Invitation to Thrive and Conclusion

21:21 Podcast Outro Video Final.mp4


💭 Reflection Questions:

  • What have I been hiding behind my smile?

  • Where have I mistaken busyness for healing?

  • What would it look like to be honest — with myself and with God — about what still hurts?


This is an invitation to slow down and tell yourself the truth. To let God meet you where you actually are — not where you pretend to be. Healing begins in that place of honesty and surrender.


And if this conversation feels close to home, I’d love for you to join me for my 2-Day Live Masterclass: “Survive No More – Thrive in Your Purpose, Grow in Your Prosperity.”

Episode 5 - Child of God stop wasting your time: God Expects a Return on His Investment in You

⏳ Time is the one thing you can never get back.

The question is — are you multiplying what God has placed in your hands, or are you wasting it?


In this powerful episode of The Rise & Rebuild Podcast, we’re unpacking what Jesus taught in the parable of the talents (Matthew 25) and what it means for us today. God has placed something inside of you — a gift, a calling, a vision — and He expects a return on His investment.


This isn’t about shame or fear. It’s about waking up to the truth: busyness is not fruitfulness, delayed obedience is still disobedience, and comfort zones always cost you growth.


You’ll discover the subtle ways we bury our gifts without even realizing it — through fear, procrastination, comparison, and even what I call “holy busyness.” More importantly, you’ll learn how to take small, faithful steps to stop wasting time and start multiplying what God has placed in your hands.


Takeaways

Time is not yours — it’s God’s, and He expects stewardship.

Fear, procrastination, and comparison are silent thieves of purpose.

Busyness can keep you unfruitful if it isn’t aligned with God’s calling.

Faith without action is dead — movement activates breakthrough.

Comfort zones cost you growth, impact, and legacy.

Somebody, somewhere is waiting for you to use your gift.

02:54 Using Your Gifts Wisely

10:44 Overcoming Fear and Procrastination

17:23 Podcast Outro Video Final.mp4


This episode is a wake-up call to stop wasting your God-given time and start asking bigger questions, like

✨ Why not me?

✨ And you know what… why not you?

✨ Why not be the one who finally says yes to that big idea?

✨ And why not show up for something that cracks your life open in the best way?


And if you’ve been waiting for a sign — well, this is it.

Registration for my 2-Day Masterclass: Survive No More — Thrive in Your Purpose, Grow in Your Prosperity is officially open!


And I want you there with me.

If you’re feeling stuck…

If you’ve been hiding your gifts, waiting for the “perfect” time…

If you know deep down that God is calling you higher, but fear or procrastination keeps holding you back…


This space is for you. 🌱

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “Why does this keep happening to me?” or “I swore I wouldn’t end up here again, and yet here I am”?

Whether it’s in your relationships, your finances, or the way you show up for yourself every day sometimes it feels like you take two steps forward, only to land right back where you started.

In this powerful episode of The Rise and Rebuild Podcast, we’re digging into the seven clear signs that you might be stuck in an unhealthy cycle and, more importantly, how to start breaking free.

You can’t break a cycle you don’t even recognize.

Today, you’ll not only learn to spot the patterns that keep you stuck but also take away practical, steps to move toward lasting transformation and freedom.

Takeaways

  • Awareness is the first step towards transformation.
  • Cycles are built from unhealed pain and limiting beliefs.

The Rise and Rebuild Podcast
Episode 3: The Stories We Tell Ourselves and How to Rewrite Them

Every day, we tell ourselves stories — quiet inner narratives that shape how we see ourselves, what we believe is possible, and how we show up in the world.

Sometimes these stories sound like:
“I’m not good enough.”
“Good things never last for me.”
“I’ll always have to struggle.”

And sometimes, they aren’t even words — just heavy feelings of unworthiness or fear.

In this episode of The Rise & Rebuild Podcast, I’m sharing how these unseen narratives can keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles and how to rewrite them with truth and hope.

I’ll also introduce you to two simple yet powerful tools that will help you shift from negative self-talk to empowering beliefs, so you can start living the story God intended for your life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, defeated, or weighed down by old lies, this episode will give you the clarity and tools to begin rewriting your inner narrative.

Key Takeaways

  • Your thoughts have power — they shape how you live and who you become.

  • Negative inner stories may feel true, but they can be rewritten.

  • How to use the Catch, Cancel, Correct method to challenge destructive thoughts.

  • The power of shifting from the Gap (what’s missing) to the Gain (how far you’ve come).

  • The importance of gratitude in transforming your mindset.

  • How aligning your story with God’s truth creates lasting freedom.

  • Why you don’t have to stay stuck in old patterns or inherited narratives.

  • Practical steps to create a new story that reflects who you truly are.

The Rise and Rebuild Podcast
Episode 2: Breaking the Cycle: My Story & What It Means to Rise and Rebuild .

In this deeply personal episode, I’m opening up and sharing my own story — the heartbreak, the cycles that kept me stuck, and how God’s grace and power, not my own strength, brought me through.


Eight years ago, my life was turned upside down.


But what began as heartbreak revealed something deeper — hidden cycles of relationships, money, emotions, and generational patterns I didn’t even realize I was repeating.


Through God’s redeeming power, those cycles were broken, and my life was rebuilt not just for me, but for my children and future generations.


If you’ve ever felt stuck, ashamed, or afraid to start over, this episode is a reminder that no life is too broken for God to restore.


Key Takeaways

  • The power of God can help us break cycles.
  • Cycles can be broken. What you inherited doesn’t have to be what you pass down. You can be the one to say, “It ends with me.”
  • Sharing our stories can inspire transformation.
  • Rock bottom can be a turning point for change.
  • Confronting destructive cycles is essential for healing.
  • Coaching and support are vital for personal growth.
  • Empowerment comes from rising above pain and shame.
  • Your past does not define your future.
  • Every story matters and can inspire others.
