For The Girl

• Advice for Girlies in their 20’s: navigating your calling, some disagreements, travel tips, and MORE!

  We reacted to the best (and worst!) advice you shared about navigating your twenties. From finding faith-filled mentors to practical hacks like travel credit cards, we covered it all—yes, even a slightly controversial convo about giving up a dog. We laughed, we disagreed, and we got real about everything from building community to trusting God’s voice in seasons of uncertainty. Whether we’re looking back on our twenties or walking through them now, this episode reminded us how important it is to stay rooted in Jesus, go all in with our people, and keep saying yes to what He’s doing.

• Kenz's Birth Story + Postpartum

  Okay, friends—today is a super special episode because I have my husband Josh on the podcast with me! We’re telling the full story of how baby Chip came into the world…and let me tell you, it was not what we expected. From thinking I’d just walk into the hospital and get the epidural (lol) to watching a Bin Laden documentary while laboring (double lol), things escalated fast and got real intense. We talk about everything—the painful wait for the epidural, my back labor, Josh going full Enneagram 8 on the nurses, and the sweetest moment when we paused to pray and God showed up big. This episode is raw, funny, and deeply personal. So grateful to share this one with you! In This Episode [06:00] Labor Begins... During a War Documentary?We realize I’m in early labor, and yes—we’re watching an Osama Bin Laden documentary instead of listening to Oceans. [09:00] The Hospital Experience: Confusion, Back Labor & No EpiduralThey didn’t believe I was in labor (spoiler: I was). Then we waited over two hours for an epidural while I was in major pain. [14:00] Josh Goes Full Enneagram 8 & I Hit My LimitJosh has a throwdown with the nurses while I contemplate accepting fentanyl (!!!). We stop to pray—and God really met us. [18:00] Redemption in the Chaos + Chip is Here The anesthesiologist finally shows up. I go from 7cm to pushing, but the wireless monitor throws us off. Once I trust my gut, Chip is born in five minutes. [26:00] Processing the Birth + What We’d Do Differently We reflect on how hospital staff impacted our experience and what we’d change if there’s a baby #3.[30:30] Meet Chip: How We Picked His Name Chip James Durham, y’all! We unpack the story behind the name—including the spicy alternatives like Chip Danger and Chip Legend. [33:30] Life With Two Kids: The Beautiful Chaos What it’s been like going from one to two, how we’re adjusting, and why we’re soaking in every smile from baby Chip.
