It’s a sobering thought that death is one of the few certainties of life, and most of us have or will have to experience losing someone close to us. Even as women who believe in the hope of eternal life, it doesn’t make grieving any less painful. Our real and raw feelings aren’t a sign of slow or stagnant healing, but a sign that we cherished someone so dearly and miss them being present in our lives. This week we hear Sarah’s touching story of losing her husband in her 30s and navigating that as a woman, wife and mother.How can we find balance in taking the time to process life-shattering events and honouring the loss of life, while not being wholly defined by it?

Ep 59 | The Blueprint to Growing Your Finances
There can be a lot of confusion around how we expand our finances and take the first step towards passive income.

With the cost of living increasing, we can use wisdom and take practical steps to ensure a good quality of life despite the state of struggling economies across the globe. How can we build wealth to help safeguard our financial future and be a blessing to others?

Ep 58 | Why Following Jesus Doesn’t Have to Be Boring: A Case For Creativity
There can be tension in feeling like we don’t fit in perfectly in different parts of our lives, whether that be at work, at social events or even at Church. The pressure to conform and be like everyone else can be tempting, but we want to remember that God made us all uniquely and wants us to celebrate that. It’s our job to show up authentically and know that there is power in taking up space in both spiritual and secular circles, especially when we want to be a bridge for people to recognise and connect with Christ.Why do some Christians think that having a relationship with Jesus means losing our artistic expressiveness and personality?

Ep 56 | Standing Out in an Oversaturated World: How to Build a Personal Brand
There are many ways to build a thriving personal brand, but we wanted to lean into the simplistic approach of rooting everything we do in faith, authenticity, and fulfillment. We want to be ambitious women who have an honest digital presence that reflects our personal values. When we press into God and find out what truly matters to us as unique individuals, we can begin to cultivate meaningful experiences and content that inspires others to find success in living their own lives with sincerity and joy.How can we find the balance between authenticity online and real life, and how much power is there in discerning when and what to share?
