Are You Blocking Your Own Blessings?
What if the very thing standing between you and God’s blessings… is you? In this episode, we unpack how fear, comfort zones, and misplaced “yeses” and “nos” can quietly block the life God is calling us into. We talk about getting out of your own way, saying yes with intention, saying no without guilt, and releasing excuses that keep you stuck. God didn’t create you to live small or settle- He came so you could enjoy life and live it to the fullest. When you answer His call, pursue His goodness, and step boldly into purpose, you create space for His blessings to flow. This episode is a loving nudge to move, trust, and walk fully into all God has for you.

In this episode, we explore the life-changing power of gratitude and why it’s more than a feeling—it’s a way of living. Drawing inspiration from Mark Batterson’s A Million Little Miracles, the conversation highlights everyday examples and simple illustrations that remind us how easy it is to overlook the blessings right in front of us. In this episode, we are reminded to praise God for every gift, resist the temptation to take things for granted, and instead take them for gratitude. This episode invites you to practice gratitude daily, shift your perspective, and allow thankfulness to move from something you do into something you are.

In this week’s episode, All Things New, we’re leaning into the promise of fresh beginnings and intentional growth as we step into a new year. I’m sharing four practical and soul-centered ways to move forward with clarity, purpose, and success: choosing a word or theme to anchor your year, reflecting and journaling to gain wisdom from where you’ve been, considering fasting as a way to reset and refocus, and taking an honest assessment of your current self—while inviting accountability to help you stay the course. This episode is an invitation to pause, realign, and partner with God as you embrace the new things He desires to do in and through you.
2026- Let's go!

In this episode, Barbara reflects on a season of deep discouragement and the moment she realized it wasn’t a setback but a test of faith. Through personal insight and powerful biblical examples from David, Moses, and Joseph, she unpacks what it means to stay focused on God’s promises, resist shortcuts, and trust the process even when answers don’t come quickly. If you have prayed, waited, and wondered if faith is costing you something, this is a reminder that testing seasons are not punishment but preparation. Passing the test today positions you for the promises of tomorrow.

Today on the podcast, we're talking about asking for and receiving signs.
Have you ever asked God for a sign — a confirmation, a direction, or even the smallest nudge — only to be met with complete silence? It can feel discouraging when heaven seems quiet, especially when you’re desperate for clarity or assurance. In this episode, we’re breaking down how God actually speaks to us and the six most common ways His guidance shows up in our everyday lives. From Scripture, prayer, and people, to worship music, the Holy Spirit, and even repeated patterns or unexpected circumstances, God is always communicating, often more clearly than we realize. If you’ve been craving answers, longing for direction, or wanting to recognize God’s voice in a deeper way, this conversation will help you tune your ear, soften your heart, and notice the confirmations that may already be around you. Tune in and discover how to hear God with confidence, clarity, and peace.

In this episode, Barbara shares a recent experience that almost had her in deep Mexico trouble (at least that's the story she's telling herself) all because she didn't follow the directions she was given by her host, Lupita.
Hear all about her 3-day adventure with her teenage son and childhood best friend that went from fun and games to detention and a flat tire inside the border. Don't worry- there's a lesson in here for everyone.

Who are you? If your first thought is one of your roles in life, you may be surprised to learn that those things do NOT define who you ARE at your core. You are not your job, your looks, or your achievements. When God created you, He did so with great intention and purpose.
SO many people get caught up in the trap of comparison and unwittingly dim their light when all along, they were created to shine brightly in the way that only they can.
Today, Barbara shares what true confidence looks like when you're clear on who you are and what your unique purpose is. Let's jump in!
