Moxie Podcast

This week, we’re breaking down the guilt we’ve been carrying around rest and replacing it with truth. So many of us were taught that our worth is tied to productivity, but what if that’s just a false belief we need to unlearn? Rest isn’t just a luxury—it’s an act of trust in God. When we pause, we’re saying, God, I trust You enough to take care of things while I breathe. And here’s the kicker—prioritizing our own well-being doesn’t just benefit us; it sets the standard for those around us. When we model healthy boundaries and self-care, we give others permission to do the same. So, let’s challenge the narrative that rest is weakness and start embracing it as the gift that it truly is.

Self-love isn’t just a spa day or a moment of self-care when we’re on the verge of burnout. It’s a daily commitment to creating rhythms that sustain us, not just reacting to exhaustion. Tune in to this episode for a heartfelt, real talk about what it really means to love ourselves well, in ways that are sustainable, empowering, and life-giving.

This is universally recognized as the month of love, so in that spirit, we’re talking about a different kind of love—self-love. But not just in the way we usually think about it. Sure, self-care is about rest and boundaries, but what if it’s also about saying yes to opportunities that excite us? What if it’s about using our voices boldly and not letting fear call the shots? This week, we’re diving into what it really means to honor who we’re becoming, step into the things God has already set in motion, and move forward even when it feels scary. If you’ve ever hesitated on a dream or felt fear holding you back, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about stepping into the life you’re meant for! Big Takeaways 00:00 - Introduction and Overview 04:34 - Saying Yes to Opportunities is a Form of Self-Love 09:14 - Boldly Using Your Voice Creates the Change You Want to See  14:45 - Fear Will Always Be There, But It Doesn’t Have to Lead 18:40 - Outro   Mentions Clarity episodes Episode 178 / Cathy Hawk - Rec

You know that feeling when something ends, and you’re left wondering, Okay… so now what? Maybe a job didn’t work out, a dream fell apart, or life just threw you a curveball you did not see coming. It’s easy to think you’ve failed—but what if this is actually the start of something even better? In this episode, we’re getting real about those moments when life hits reset. We’ll talk about why endings aren’t the end of the story, how starting over isn’t a step back (even when it totally feels like one), and why God’s plan is way bigger than just one chapter. So, grab your coffee, throw on your comfiest sweatshirt, and let’s talk about what’s next—because, friend, you’re not behind, and you’re definitely not alone. Big Takeaways 00:00 - Introduction and Overview 04:27 - Every Ending Creates Space for Something New 12:28 - Starting Over Means You’re Learning and Growing 15:04 - God’s Plan is Bigger Than One Chapter  20:17 - Outro   I would love to connect with you and hear your thoughts on this!
