Welcome to the Group Chat: What’s said here stays here
Send us Fan Mail This one’s for the girls. Circle of trust only. What’s said here stays here. This episode feels like jumping into a late night bestie chat mid conversation.

My Kid Is Old Enough to Do What?!
Send us Fan Mail We went back to a church we’ve visited before and this time? No notes. No complaints. Just… really, really good.

We Know the Assignment… But We Keep Forgetting It
Send us Fan Mail We kicked things off with our latest church shopping adventure… and let’s just say, it wasn’t exactly welcoming.

Send us Fan Mail You didn’t go through all of this to go back.

And that’s not something …
Community Isn’t Automatic; Finding Your People Again

HOLY & HORMONAL
Send a text We are in Leviticus. We are in Lent. And we are in midlife. This season can feel unhinged. Hormones shifting. Roles evolving. Energy changing.

Called to Hard Things
Send us a text We love the idea of doing hard things—until God actually asks us to.

Hormones, Storm Prep, and Intrusive Thoughts

God Didn’t Say That: Why We Believe Voices That Aren’t His
Send us a text Some of the most powerful words shaping our lives were never spoken by God.

Caffeine, Culture Shock, and the Girl Who Didn’t Fit In (Utah Edition)
Send us a text In this episode, Steph takes us back to her 90s childhood in Utah — a place where coffee felt rebellious, almost everyone shared the same faith except her, and “fitting in” was just about attainable as perfection.

Grieving What’s Gone… and Finally Admitting We’re Not Fine
