Redefining Beauty:What Six Months Without Makeup Taught Me
In this personal episode, I share my journey of going six months without makeup, styling my hair, or getting my nails doneâand how that season of obedience changed the way I viewed beauty, confidence, and identity.
What began as a simple act of obedience became an opportunity for God to reveal where I had been placing my worth and what it truly means to be beautiful in His eyes.
I also share the heart behind my newly published chapter, Redefining Beauty, in the anthology Paper Crowns 3, and invite you to consider the beliefs and voices that have shaped how you see yourself.
My prayer is that this episode encourages you to look beyond the mirror and remember who created you.
You are haute coutureâintentionally designed, one of a kind, and God's masterpiece.

Why I Believe Pageant Prep Should Start 9â12 Months Before You Compete
When should you really start preparing for your pageant?
I believe the ideal runway is 9â12 monthsânot because you need to diet or obsess over your pageant for a year, but because starting early gives you the time to prepare well without resorting to extremes.
In this episode, Iâm sharing why I take a long-term approach to pageant preparation and what that extra time allows us to build physically, mentally and spiritually.
Plus, Iâm sharing details about my Crowned in Confidence group coaching program, currently open for enrollment.

From Survival to Mrs. American 2025 with Dr. Tiffany Thornton
What happens when you stop hiding your story and trust God with every chapter of it?
In this powerful and grace-filled episode, I sit down with Dr. Tiffany Thornton, Mrs. American 2025, chiropractor, wife, mother, and founder of a nonprofit dedicated to helping women recognize and prevent abuse.
Tiffany courageously shares her journey, from surviving domestic abuse to stepping boldly into the spotlight of pageantry, not for validation, but for purpose. She opens up about marriage, motherhood, rebuilding confidence, and how pageantry became a platform to authentically reflect her values while keeping her family grounded.
Youâll hear how true confidence isnât about proving yourselfâitâs about knowing who you are in Christ. Tiffany reminds us that when we understand we are deeply loved by God, weâre free to show up fully, speak boldly, and let our testimony bring healing to others.
This episode is a reminder for every womanâand especially every pageant queenâthat your story matters, your voice is needed, and God can use what youâve walked through for His glory.

Daughters of the King: Faith, Prayer, and Leadership in Pageantry
In this heartfelt Christmas-season conversation, I sit down with Margaret - Executive Director of USOA California Pageants - to talk about faith, prayer, and leading with Christ at the center of pageantry. Margaret shares her journey from contestant to director, and we talk about how prayer guides leadership and why community and sisterhood matter so deeply in this industry.
Together, we reflect on bold faith in public spaces, starting prayer groups, creating Christ-centered community, and remembering that crowns do not define our worth - sonship and daughterhood in Christ do. This episode is a powerful reminder for every pageant queen to compete with excellence while staying rooted in her identity as a daughter of the King.

Favor Doesn't Always Feel Like Winning
What happens when you give your allâpray, prepare, and show up in full obedience, but the outcome doesnât match the effort?
