17-Living Full, Dying Empty: Using Your God-Given Gifts

The graveyard is often called the richest place on earth—not for what’s buried there, but for the dreams, books, and songs that never came to life. Too many people die with their potential still inside them.
In this episode, I share why it’s time to stop burying your God-given gifts and start using them now. We’ll talk about what holds us back, how to step into purpose, and why the world needs what’s in you.
Live full, so you can die empty.

16-How to Start Fresh in Life (Even When You're Scared to Begin Again)

Starting over isn’t about having it all figured out — it’s about being brave enough to begin again, even when you’re scared. In this episode, we’ll talk about what it really looks like to start fresh in life. From the fear of being “too much” and “not enough” at the same time, to the myth that you’ll never find love, purpose, or belonging again, we’ll uncover the truth about reinvention.
I’ll share my own story of divorce as one example, but this conversation is for anyone facing a new beginning — whether that’s rebuilding after loss, stepping into a career change, or realizing the life you’ve been living no longer fits. You’ll hear why rebuilding yourself matters more than changing your circumstances, how to turn emotional baggage into wisdom, and why starting scared is still starting.
Key Topics:– How to rebuild your life when you feel stuck– Why emotional baggage can become wisdom– Starting over scared but moving forward anyway
Takeaway: You don’t need to feel ready to begin again. You just need to start — even if you’re scared.
Listener Challenge: Write a letter to your past self to honor how far you’ve come and remind yourself of the strength you already carry.

15-When You Don't Recognize Your Own Life Anymore

Have you ever looked around at your own life and thought, “I don’t even recognize this anymore”? In this episode, I share my personal story of drifting through busyness, losing sight of my own dreams, and realizing I had pushed myself—and even my faith—to the bottom of the list.
Through honest storytelling and scripture, I talk about what it feels like when your calendar is full but your soul is empty, and how God gently reminds us that He still has our blueprint, even when we feel lost.
If you’re in a season where life feels unfamiliar, this episode will encourage you to slow down, reconnect with God, and remember that your life may not look recognizable right now—but in His hands, it’s redeemable.

14-From Stuck to Strong - Choosing Resilience

Ever felt like you were fighting with all your might, but nothing was changing? In this episode, I share a surprising lesson I learned from a bee trapped in my wine glass — and how it mirrors the way we sometimes feel stuck in our own lives.
Resilience isn’t about never falling down; it’s about how you rise, adapt, and keep going when the odds feel stacked against you. We’ll talk about why resilience isn’t a personality trait you either have or don’t have, but a skill you can develop with the right mindset, healthy habits, and supportive connections.
If you’ve ever felt trapped by stress, setbacks, or even years of struggle, this episode will remind you that you’re not powerless — you’re building resilience, one step at a time.

9-Mindset Shift – Why Belief is the Engine of Your Unscripted Life

Mindset is everything. In this episode of The Unscripted Journey, we talk about how your mindset can either cage you or set you free—and why shifting your belief system is the first step to personal growth, confidence, and a more purposeful life.
