Speaking & Conversations
Gentle conversations for weary hearts, everyday faith, and the spaces in between.
Some conversations stay with us long after they end.
Whether gathered around a retreat table, sitting with a women’s group, speaking on a podcast, or sharing space at an event, my hope is always the same:
To create room for honest conversation, gentle reflection, and reminders that grace still meets us in everyday life.
These conversations are rooted in presence, compassion, storytelling, faith, and the quiet places many people carry alone.

Worship in the Wait
Trusting God in seasons of uncertainty and unfolding.
Not every season offers quick answers.

Inspired by the heart behind the devotional At the Counter, this conversation explores the ways God continues to meet us in kitchens, conversations, grief, laughter, coffee cups, and ordinary life.

- everyday faith
- storytelling and reflection
- soul care

Podcasts & Guest Conversations
I love thoughtful, unhurried conversations that make space for honesty, reflection, faith, grief, healing, becoming, and the questions that don’t always have easy answers.
If your podcast values:
- meaningful conversation over performance
- emotional honesty
- gentle faith-centered reflection
- compassionate storytelling
…I’d love to explore whether we might be a good fit.
