Friends, I am so excited to share something I’ve been quietly building for our community…The 12-Day Advent Mini Course is officially live and ready for you. This course was created for women walking through December with full plates, tender hearts, and a longing for God to meet them in the real places—not the polished ones. If the holidays feel heavy, complicated, or simply not what you expected this year, this journey is for you. Inside, you’ll find: - 12 days of honest, conversational devotionals - Scripture that meets you where you are - Reflections + journal prompts to help you breathe again - Prayers spoken over the weary, hopeful, and healing places in your life - And beautiful imagery that captures the quiet miracle of God drawing near This isn’t a course you rush through or force yourself to “be festive” for. It’s a gentle companion for the woman who needs a moment of peace in the middle of the noise. If you are already a member of Faith After Fallout, you can access the course right now inside the Courses tab. I hope it blesses you, strengthens you, and reminds you that hope still rises — even here, even now. Thank you for being here.Thank you for growing, healing, and seeking God in the real places of your life.This community is richer because you’re part of it. Let’s walk into this Advent season together — with softness, honesty, and renewed hope. ✨ Hope is already on its way.

Hi friend — I’m so glad you’re here. Truly. If you’ve landed in this space, chances are life has knocked you off balance a little… or a lot. Maybe you’ve walked through heartbreak, disappointment, burnout, spiritual dryness, or a season where your faith felt like it was slipping through your fingers. Maybe you’re trying to find your way back to God, but you’re doing it slowly, cautiously, or with a heart that still feels bruised. If that’s you, you’re exactly where you belong. This community was created for women who are rebuilding — not from perfection, but from honesty. Not from strength, but from humility. Not from certainty, but from a simple desire to try again. Here in Faith After Fallout, you’ll find: ✨ a gentle space to breathe ✨ encouragement without pressure ✨ Scripture brought to life for real, hurting hearts ✨ devotionals for women walking through the “in-between” ✨ tools to rebuild your spiritual footing ✨ community with other women who understand what it means to start again Whether your fallout was emotional, spiritual, relational, or simply the weight of life… God meets you here with tenderness, not judgment.

This morning, I got ready for someone else, not because I felt beautiful, confident, or festive, but because I needed to remember who I am — even when I’m hurting. I had cried most of the night.I cried again this morning.Everything felt swollen and heavy and raw, and if left to my emotions, I would’ve stayed in pajamas and avoided mirrors and people and expectations. But today was the housekeeper’s first visit. So I stood in the bathroom and did what women have done for centuries when life felt too loud and the heart felt too fragile:I prepared myself even though I didn’t feel like myself. Eye cream. Eyebrows cleaned. Head covering in place. Modesty intact — elbows, collarbone, knees. Simple earrings. Shaved the little hairs we pretend not to have and plucked the ones we wish didn’t grow. I dressed in quiet colors — tan and white — because bright Christmas sweaters felt too loud for my tired soul. The joy they’re meant to spark just wasn’t there, so I didn’t force it. I chose softness instead of pretending. I didn’t feel festive.I didn’t feel strong.I didn’t feel spiritual. But I did feel this whisper rise inside me: “Sometimes, daughter, I don’t ask you to feel holy. I just ask you to stand.” And that was enough. Reflection: Some days your courage isn’t in conquering anything — it’s in showing up at all. It’s the small, steady acts: - brushing your hair - choosing a soft sweater - putting on earrings - covering yourself with dignity - welcoming someone into your home despite the storm behind your eyes These are not shallow moments.These are anchors when the current is strong. God sees the days when your strength is small and still says,“Well done.” Prayer: Lord, thank You for meeting me in the quiet places where my heart feels heavy. Help me honor You not with perfection or performance, but by simply showing up.Teach me that even when joy feels far away, dignity, peace, and Your presence are still close.Let today’s small steps count as worship. Amen.
