• The Cost of Almost// How Partial Obedience and Half-Hearted Effort Keep You from God’s Best

  So many of us live in the space of almost — almost healed, almost disciplined, almost obedient to what God asked us to do. But what we don’t realize is that “almost” still costs us something. In this episode, we’re talking about the hidden price of settling for halfway — the opportunities we miss, the growth we delay, and the peace we forfeit when we don’t fully commit to what we’ve been called to. Because the truth is, partial obedience is still disobedience, and almost becoming who God created you to be is still missing the mark.This episode will challenge you to stop living in the in-between — to stop standing at the edge of your breakthrough — and finally step into the fullness of who you are meant to be.FOLLOW US: @girlsirlpod@mariahclayton_Don't forget to leave a 5 star review!

• This Isn’t What I Thought, God…//When Life Doesn’t Go the Way You Planned + Finding Trust in God’s Detours

The plan falls apart, the dream changes, and we start to question God. Why did this happen? Did I hear You wrong? Will I ever make it out of this?In this episode, we are learning how to navigate life's detours and find trust in God's plan.  Because even when things don’t go how we thought they would, God is still working, and the unexpected chapters often become the best parts of our testimony.

• How I ACTUALLY Finished 75 Hard (As a Full-Time Working Toddler Mom) + How You Can Too

  In this episode, I’m sharing the truth behind my 75 Hard journey — the highs, the lows, the lessons, and the way it completely changed my life. From rediscovering my drive to deepening my faith, this process taught me what it really means to show up, even when it’s hard.I didn’t start 75 Hard to lose weight. I really started it because I didn’t recognize who I was anymore. For years, I told myself I needed to get consistent, but the truth was I had become comfortable making excuses. This challenge was my wake-up call. It pushed me to deny myself, rebuild discipline, and lean on God in ways I never had before.If you’ve been struggling with consistency, purpose, or just feeling stuck — this episode is your reminder that you can do hard things. Not because you have to prove something, but because you’re worth the effort.✨ Scripture: Galatians 6:9 — “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”FOLLOW US: @girlirlpod @mariahclayton_   Don’t forget to leave a 5 star rating!
