The best gift you can give your kids is a home where their mom and dad truly care about one another, because the love they see between you and your spouse will eventually become the love your child accepts for themselves. 🫶🏼

Life lately ☀️🫶🏼

This summer has been filled with lounging at the pool, tons of PR & marketing prep for my new book, and Sutton turned 10 (!!!)

We had the BEST Dollywood vacation, tons of fun & summer camps for the boys and I’m potentially starting some writing on a fiction project 😉. We’ve been so happy to have family visits, some of our closest friends/family members moved right by us, and I’m booking reservations for two weeks in Europe with Jesse this fall. 🤩

My heart is full and I feel so grateful!

Double tap if you agree. 🫶🏼

The person you marry is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make in your life. They are the person who will walk you through the death of your parents, they will parent your children, you will have to trust them to be faithful to you even as you age, as your body changes, and as your mind changes. [save & share with a friend].

Your partner impacts everything. If you have any expectation for them to change, you’re setting yourself up for failure. If you wouldn’t take your partner *exactly* as they are now for the rest of your life, don’t choose them. History has proven that it won’t get easier.

In the same way, if your partner is faithful, kind, loving, and acts as a partner now, they will likely be even more of that person as a parent and in your marriage.

I have worked with married couples for a decade and my best advice for dating couples is this: make choices based on who this person is right now, not who you hope for them to be.

The most dangerous thing you can do is to fall in love with potential.

In today’s episode on the Living Easy podcast, I’m talking about how we live in a culture that claims to value tolerance when it comes to everything but Christianity. [save & share].

People now are more depressed, anxious, and lonely than EVER before. We’ve lost our anchor.

We’re the most “connected” generation in history, but we’re also the most isolated. And we wonder what’s going wrong.

People are starving for hope, for truth, and for understanding.

We are seeing every single day that, without truth or identity, people in our world are flailing and floundering.

They’re trying to find identity and peace in everything and anything, except for the One who offers it.

Our God is a God of hope. Of restoration. Of salvation. Of LOVE.

This episode is for anyone who’s felt the tension of standing firm in their faith while the world tells them to shrink back.

If you’ve been afraid to speak up or afraid of being misunderstood or labeled, I pray this encourages you to stand tall and remember that you serve a God who softens even the hardest hearts with His love. 🫶🏼

Studies show that sunshine + iced coffee + family + the perfect bathing suit + a book about Jesus will make you feel 1000x happier. ☀️😉

But in all seriousness, sunshine and time in the word (and in solid Christian books) are life-changing on any mental and physical health journey.

If you’re struggling to get outside, I know the feeling. On days of depression, it feels like I have concrete on my chest & ankles and can barely get myself out of bed. Take the baby steps, even if it means sitting outside for only 5 minutes.

Sunshine improves focus, enhances your mood, and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety by stimulating the production of serotonin (your happy hormone). 🫶🏼 It makes me feel sooo motivated; today I sat outside & wrote down goals & adventures for my summer!

What is one thing you want to accomplish this summer that you’ve never done before?

Emotional detachment doesn’t happen overnight; it’s often a slow fade. [be proactive —save & share with your spouse!]

🫶🏼 The reality is that the world is pulling at us and our marriages. If there’s enough distraction, enough sexual distance, enough outside temptation, any lies/secrecy, or silence and resentment, the enemy will use those things to begin slowly breaking down the foundation of your relationship.

Do you agree with these? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

“You’re never going to make it without me.”
““You’re too much.”
“You’re not enough.”
“No one will ever want you after this.”
“You’re not as pretty as her.”
“You’re not smart enough to do that.”
“You’ll never be as successful as them.”
“You’re wasting your time.”
“You’re damaged goods.”

They doubted you. They underestimated you. They threw dirt on you, thinking it would bury you.

But did you notice?

That dirt became the very thing that forced you to grow. To become a better version of yourself—a version that you may not have ever thought could exist. They wanted you to fail, but you made the choice to thrive. [SHARE with one friend 🫶🏼]

The heartbreak, the rejection, the doubt—it all pushed you toward becoming stronger, wiser, kinder, and more resilient.

(✨Follow for more like this.)

Pain sucks. But you’ve turned the hurt, disappointment, and unkindness into good—deepening your relationship with God, loving on others more, growing closer to your people, going on adventures and exploring, and truly LIVING. Nobody will ruin that for you.

Remember: God didn’t create you to stay small. He has a plan for you. Keep blooming, friends. 🫶🏼🌸

Let’s talk skincareee! 🫶🏼 Comment SKIN to get a link to all of the products that have changed my skin! ✨

I had to share this untouched picture that I sent to Jesse yesterday because I’m so thankful for the progress with my skin. If you’ve seen previous photos, I’ve been dealing with mild frustrations for a while, and it’s been a journey. (Huge thanks to !)

I get questions often about what I use often, so here are my top recommendations after trying what feels like everything:

1. Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen (zinc and titanium-based only!) Honestly, if you aren’t using sunscreen every day, even inside of your house, the rest of the skincare doesn’t matter.

2. Laser treatments: This is probably the most costly investment, but the results were worth every penny for me. They tighten skin, improve skin tone and texture, even out skin color, and stimulate the production of collagen.

3. Hydroquinone: a prescription cream that lightens dark spots and blocks the process in the skin that leads to discoloration. It has made a world of difference.

3. Retinol, Vitamin C, and Hyaluronic Acid serums: Retinol is anti-aging and produces new skin cells. Vitamin C helps to give you a more even skin tone and Hyaluronic Acid plumps the skin and makes it glowww.

4. Niacinamide: Anti-aging, skin brightening, and hydrating!

5. Daxxify - A neurotoxin that reduces lines and wrinkles (and decreases my headaches significantly when done in my masseters!)

6. Microneedling: Your medspa can do this; microneedling is essentially controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production.

It’s really amazing how increased confidence can impact our connections, intimacy, and more. This is only one small aspect of that confidence, but I just wanted to share what’s been working for me in case anyone else is seeking out healthier skin. 🩷

Do you also struggle with this? Thirteen years into marriage and I’m still somehow constantly wrestling with the ability to release control and to not be surprised with this myself.

It’s still my prayer every morning that I will learn to love Jesse in the same way that I love myself. I give grace to myself for my failures and believe in God’s promises to sanctify *me*, so why is it so hard to believe the same for my spouse? [save & share for encouragement when you need it most.]

If you struggle with this, it’s often because change and growth happen in a way that is outside of our control, it happens outside of our desired timeline, or it happens in a way that may look different than what we expected. But our goal should never be to make our spouse a version of ourselves, but to point them toward God and His will for their lives.

“I love Jesus, but I don’t do church.” [save & share with someone who needs to read this today.]

The pain in the church is real. Just as the pain in a family, in friendships, in marriage, and in parenthood can be very real. Because we’re dealing with *people*—broken people who sometimes make bad decisions. But there are also so many people who make good decisions.

How can we help to strengthen the body of Christ when we isolate ourselves from the church, or when we spend more time critiquing than we spend serving?

1 Corinthians 12 is very clear that every Christian has a distinct purpose within the church body:

“There is one body, but it has many parts. All its many parts make up one body. It is the same with Christ. We were all baptized by one Holy Spirit. And so we are formed into one body. And suppose the ear says, “I am not an eye. So I don’t belong to the body.” By saying this, it cannot stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, how could it hear? If the whole body were an ear, how could it smell? God has placed each part in the body just as he wanted it to be. If all the parts were the same, how could there be a body?

As it is, there are many parts. But there is only one body. In that way, the parts of the body will not take sides. All of them will take care of one another.

If one part suffers, every part suffers with it. If one part is honored, every part shares in its joy. You are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of it.” 🤍

Thoughts?

Albuquerque for the holidays! 🤍🦃 There never seems to be enough time to see all of our people, but we’re so thankful for the time we do get. 🥹 We’re feeling extra grateful this year to have so many people to love in so many states.

And for all of our foodies, we did Sadie’s, Golden Pride, Dion’s (of course), Saggio’s, Flying Star, Heatwave Coffee, and Il Vicino. We missed La Salita, Weck’s, Duran’s, Blake’s and Taco Cabana because of Thanksgiving meals - so until next time 😉.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
