In honor of my 28th birthday, I’m sharing 10 lessons I’ve learned over the past 10 years. I've changed so much, and I am so, so thankful! These lessons are about creativity, calling, family, friendship, and more as I seek to become the woman God created me to be. Whether you’re in a similar season or just love a good life chat, I hope this inspires you to reflect on your own journey and see how far God has brought you!

Baby sleep can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to steal your peace. In this episode, I’m sharing nine mindset shifts that have helped me approach baby sleep with confidence—through the newborn stage, first year, and beyond.

I’ll walk you through how my approach to baby sleep changes as they grow, how I stay flexible while prioritizing rest for all of us, and why mindset matters just as much as method. If you're feeling unsure, exhausted, or just wondering what’s “normal,” I hope this episode will bring you peace and clarity as you make these important decisions.
