My Beliefs Snapped and My Life Shifted

How letting go of what I thought I wanted changed everything about my life + an invitation to join our new coworking sessions, bible studies, and first-ever retreat!

I’m lying on the bed: legs in stirrups, stomach in knots. I’m cramping and I have to pee, real bad. Three people in the room who aren’t my husband can see my hoo-ha, but I’m so accustomed to showing my privates now that it doesn’t even faze me. In fact, I should probably start charging the doctors for a glance.

It’s Wednesday, November 5th, 2025, and I’m doing a frozen embryo transfer. Somehow, someone in a secret lair mixed my scrambled eggs and Michael’s slow swimmers to create a one-week-old embryo. Now, they’re putting it into my uterus and praying that “it sticks.” I’ll know if I’m pregnant in two weeks.

It still feels odd doing IVF. Just last year, I jokingly told my friend I’d never “buy a baby”, and now I’m filing that statement into a cabinet labeled “The Most Insensitive and Idiotic Things I’ve Ever Said.” Because, as they slide our sweet little embryo into place, things aren’t just shifting inside my body; they’re shifting inside my head, too.

Last year, I horridly and playfully mocked IVF; this year, I’m sprawled across a sterilized bed, praying that God intervenes and science succeeds where my body has not.

Last year, I prayed to buy a mansion before thirty; this year, I just want a quaint home with a big yard to fit a writing studio out back.

It’s strange, right? How quickly our desires can change. I’m finding that the ideas, careers, and lives we dream for ourselves aren’t set in stone, and one day, without warning, they can just wash away.

Imagine being trapped at the center of a rubber band ball: every few hours, you’re thrown against concrete. The rubber bands snap and ricochet with such force it’s alarming, but you want to get tossed again, because each time, you’re a little freer. It’s painful, but it’s relieving. It’s scary, but it’s exhilarating.

That’s how my life feels right now. The beliefs I formed during my six years on Instagram are popping off, and I can finally breathe! As my old beliefs shed, I can finally see the truths underneath:

um.. kinda? But without the knife & fire!! LOL

Seeing all of these truths laid out makes one thing clear: as my heart, beliefs, and ideas change, my platform needs to change too.

God’s been nudging me for months to create daily for Christian creatives, and I shove it down every time! I tell my friends, “I really think God has the wrong one! Me? Creating daily? Impossible.” But nothing is impossible for God, and I can’t keep asking Him to use me, then running away when it gets hard.

So I’m officially turning The Daily Yes into a community exclusively for Christian creatives!

Why? Because I want us to have a space that encourages slowing down, living more, and noticing God in every area of our lives. A place for those who desire true connection.

We’re hopping off social and into the real world: weekly Creative Flow sessions, monthly Bible studies, yearly retreats, and honest conversations!

Here’s our new schedule:

• Mondays: answering advice column submissions (ask me anything).

• Tuesday through Friday: devotionals, reflections, classes, and challenges for Christian creatives! This is for those learning to say YES to less hustle, intentional living, joyful creating, and boldly sharing your gifts with the world! Please unsubscribe if this doesn’t sound like you.

• Tuesday - Thursday: coworking/creative flow sessions (via Google Meet, held at least 1hr a week)

FUN FACT: EACH EMAIL CAN BE READ IN 2 MINUTES OR LESS!

In honor of November being National Novel Writing Month, we’ll be meeting 21 hours this month!

This month’s Co-working sessions will be Tuesday-Thursday, 8-9am & 11-1pm EST from November 11-November 25.

Which membership tier is for you?

Lately, everything feels like an experiment, a stretch, and a chance to live differently.

My beliefs are shifting, my desires are shifting, and this platform is shifting with me. I don’t know exactly where it will land, but I do know this: the more I lean into what scares me, the freer I feel, and I want to invite you to feel that freedom too. Thank you for being here in every season and in every way.
