Alisha is a mama to 3 and an 80-pound Golden-doodle named Bear. She lives in Wichita, Kansas.

She’s the girl who wrote the Instagram post (below) that went viral:

You can eat all the kale,

Buy all the things,

Lift all the weights,

Take all the trips,

Trash all that doesn’t spark joy,

Wash your face and hustle like mad,

But if you don’t rest your soul in Jesus,

You’ll never find peace and purpose.

In this Ep. 039, you’ll learn from Alisha about…

How God gives us what we need for the day, so we keep coming back to him daily
Why women turn earthly things to feel satisfaction even though we know Jesus is the answer
The importance of continually resetting our minds
How we invite Jesus into our diversions and distractions
Unpacking the Mary and Martha Bible story
Trusting that God will provide even when we’re not working toward something
Making time for the things that are important to us
Her book, Chasing Perfect: Peace and Purpose in the Exhausting Pursuit of Something Better
