When Life Happens Podcast

Episode 81: What If You’re Meant for More Than You Think?

What if the limits you’ve been living with were never meant to define you? In Episode 81 of When Life Happens, we explore the powerful possibility that you were created for more purpose, more impact, and more alignment than you’ve allowed yourself to believe.
This episode challenges the comfort zones, past experiences, and internal narratives that quietly shrink our vision and keep us settling for less than we’re capable of. We talk about the signs that you’re being called higher, how to recognize when growth is happening, and the practical steps needed to expand your belief, build capacity, and step into your next level with courage and clarity.
If you’ve felt a restlessness that won’t go away or a sense that there’s more ahead of you, this episode will help you reframe that feeling as an invitation—not dissatisfaction.

Episode 80 – The Cost of Carrying the Wrong Things Into a New Season Pt. 2 - Lightening the Load

In Part 2 of The Cost of Carrying the Wrong Things Into a New Season, we move from awareness to action.
 
This episode is focused on the practical steps needed to release what no longer serves you, establish healthy boundaries, and intentionally pack only what aligns with where you’re going—not where you’ve been. We discuss how to let go without guilt, how to adjust access to your life, and how to protect your momentum as you step fully into a new season.
 
Part 2 provides the tools, mindset shifts, and strategies needed to move forward with clarity, peace, and freedom—without dragging old weight into new opportunities.

Episode 79: The Cost of Carrying the Wrong Things Into a New Season Pt. 1

New seasons don’t come with extra capacity—they come with higher requirements. In Part 1 of this episode of When Life Happens, we take a deep, honest look at the hidden weight many of us unknowingly carry into new seasons of life.
 
This episode focuses on identifying the emotional, mental, relational, and habitual baggage that quietly drains energy, disrupts focus, and delays progress. We explore how unresolved pain, outdated mindsets, comfort patterns, and misaligned relationships create unseen costs that show up as fatigue, frustration, and stalled momentum.
 
Part 1 is about awareness—learning how to recognize what no longer belongs in this season and understanding why carrying it forward is more expensive than letting it go.

Episode 77: The Yo-Yo Effect — Breaking the Cycle of Up and Down

Ever feel like your life is swinging between highs and lows—stable one moment, scattered the next? In this episode of the When Life Happens Podcast, we dive deep into what I call The Yo-Yo Effect: the exhausting emotional, mental, and spiritual cycle of rising up, only to snap right back down.
We uncover why this happens, who or what may be holding your “string,” and how external forces, internal conflicts, and lack of momentum keep you from experiencing real stability. Then we break down the practical tools you need to take back control, build internal force, establish boundaries, and create the kind of consistent momentum that keeps you elevated instead of constantly pulled downward.
If you’re tired of being tossed around by circumstances, people, or your own patterns—this episode will help you break the cycle, reclaim your power, and step into a life of intentional, sustained elevation.

Episode 76: I Survived a BOMB THREAT! Here’s What I Learned

In this powerful episode of When Life Happens, I share a firsthand account of the bomb threat made on the plane I was traveling on for work—an experience that shook the cabin, but not my faith. While others panicked, I found myself unnervingly calm, grounded in the only anchor that never fails: my faith.
This episode is more than a story—it's a framework for understanding the invisible threats we face every day.

We’ll unpack:
The power of remaining centered when life feels volatile
How faith produces inner stillness even when the outside world is shaking
Why perspective determines emotional survival
How to recognize and neutralize threats to your purpose
The importance of staying aligned when everything around you feels uncertain
If you’ve ever faced situations designed to intimidate, overwhelm, or distract you this episode will help you reclaim your peace, recenter your focus, and stay locked in on your destination.
