this episode of The Worthy Her Podcast, we’re diving into the heart of obedience and the lessons God teaches us when we choose Him above all else. I’m sharing my personal story about leaving Mizani—a company and role I loved—because God was calling me into something new. Sometimes the hInardest decisions aren’t about walking away from bad things, but about letting go of good things that are no longer God things in your season. We’ll explore: • Why obedience matters and how to trust God when His plans don’t make sense. • How to discern when something good is no longer aligned with God’s will. • The importance of checking in with God in every season to stay in alignment with His purpose for your life. Whether you’re facing a decision to step out in faith, or you’re in a season of waiting for clarity, this episode will encourage and challenge you to trust God’s voice above all else.

This episode is a heartfelt invitation to start your year differently—with God at the center. Whether you’ve never walked with Him before, need to rededicate your relationship, or feel like a seasoned believer seeking a deeper connection, this message is for you. We’ll explore the barriers that keep us from saying yes to God, like church hurt, feelings of unworthiness, or fear of what it might cost, and reflect on the truth of His love, grace, and pursuit of intimacy with us. It’s not about being perfect or having it all figured out—it’s about taking one step closer to the One who sees, knows, and loves you. You were worthy then. You are worthy now. You are worthy, period.

Have you ever felt the pressure to perform, conform, or hide parts of yourself just to feel accepted? In Part 2 of Dismantling the Prototype, we’re diving into the cost of living inauthentically and the freedom that comes when you embrace the truth of who God created you to be. In this episode, I share the emotional, relational, and spiritual toll of holding onto a “prototype” version of myself and the transformative journey of letting it go. Together, we’ll explore the lies that lead us to build these false versions of ourselves, the cost of staying hidden, and the steps to break free and walk in authenticity. This conversation is real, personal, and deeply rooted in God’s truth. If you’re ready to release the masks and step into the fullness of your God-given identity, this episode is for you.

This week on The Worthy Her Podcast, we’re diving into the journey of how and why I changed the name of this podcast back to Worthy Her. It’s a story about obedience, learning to listen to God’s voice, and choosing His direction over the need for validation from others. I’m sharing where I’m at in this process (spoiler: I’m still learning!) and how God is reminding me that His plans are always greater than mine. In this episode, we talk about: Why trusting God’s voice matters. What Worthy Her means and why it’s more than a name. The tension between seeking approval and walking in obedience. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt or second-guessed if you’re really hearing God, I pray this episode encourages you.
