Create Your Next Season

09/21/2026

Look at what you’ve done!

You gave yourself permission to dream. You chose one dream, gave it your attention, and tried one small experiment.

Whether you completed every step or only one, it counts. Every small step helps create more room for a life you love.

Today, finish this sentence:

I’m proud of myself for ______.

Share it below and let this community celebrate with you. You’ve earned this moment—and you’re just getting started.

Last week, you gave one dream ten minutes of your attention. This week, take it from idea to action.

You don’t need to make a big commitment. Try one small experiment that helps you learn whether this dream fits the life you want.

Ask yourself:

What is one small thing I could try once this week?

Attend one class. Talk with someone already doing it. Volunteer for an hour. Create a small first version.

Choose one experiment and put a specific day and time on your calendar.

This isn’t about proving your dream will work. It’s about learning what feels right, what doesn’t, and what you want to try next.

When you’ve completed your small experiment, come back and comment: I did it

A dream can feel overwhelming when you think you have to know exactly where it will lead.

You don’t.

This week, choose one dream you’d like to explore and ask yourself:

What could I do for ten minutes to learn more about this dream?

You aren’t deciding your whole future. You’re simply giving one dream ten minutes of your attention.

Dreaming helps you imagine what could be next. Action is what changes everything.

Stop scrolling. Set a timer for ten minutes and take one small step now.

Can’t do it now? Choose a specific time today and set an alarm.

When your ten minutes are finished, come back and comment: Done.

Maybe you don’t know what comes next because you’ve never been here before.

You’ve never been this age, lived this exact season, or faced these exact circumstances. Give yourself grace—you aren’t supposed to know how to do it perfectly.

For Week 2 of Your Monday Reminder, ask yourself:

If I didn’t have to know how yet, what would I love my next season to include?

Write down three possibilities. Don’t edit them or decide whether they’re practical. Then circle the one that makes you feel most alive.

What do you want more of in your next season—joy, purpose, adventure, connection, creativity, rest, or something else? Share one word below.

Someday, you’ll be grateful you gave yourself permission to dream again.

Comparison has a sneaky way of stealing the joy from a perfectly good life.

We look at someone else’s marriage, family, career, home, body, friendships or season of life — and suddenly what we have doesn’t feel like enough.

On today’s episode of Beside Every Calling, Jill and I talked honestly (and laughed a lot) about comparison and what it takes to choose gratitude for the life that’s actually ours.

And while Beside Every Calling was created for ministry spouses, this conversation is for every woman — whether you’re 25 or 95.

If you have some drive or flight time this holiday weekend, take us along. I think you’ll be encouraged.

Beside Every Calling is a podcast for those married to ministry leaders who love deeply, serve faithfully, and sometimes wonder where they fit in the midst of it all.Together, we explore what it means to form identity in Christ, cultivate a hidden...

You don’t need the whole plan. You just need one small step.

For the next five Mondays, we’re going to help one another take one small step toward creating lives we love—by focusing on what is already within our control.

This week, ask yourself:

What is one small thing I can do in the next 24 hours to move one step closer to the life I want?

Name your step. Decide when you’ll take it. Then share it below—your answer may help another woman find hers.

Some days, weeks and seasons of life are harder than others. Today, I’m especially praying for all of you in hard spaces and places🙏😘

You may not control everything about this season—but you can choose what you do with the parts that are yours.

It’s easy to spend our energy focusing on what we wish were different: another person’s choices, an unexpected change, difficult circumstances, or timing we didn’t choose.

So here’s your Monday challenge:

Choose one or two small things you can control this week that will help you create a life you love.

Take the walk. Buy the coffee you actually enjoy. Call someone who makes you laugh. Play your favorite music. Protect a little time for something that brings you life.

What are your one or two? Share them below. Your answer might inspire another woman to choose hers.
