Welcome to Refill with Reka — your weekly faith devotional meets girlfriend check-in. Designed for moms and women who pour out daily but are learning to live Saved, Soft, and Surrendered to God’s will instead of society’s expectations.
This isn’t surface-level “soft life” talk. Here, we pray, slay, and obey through honest girl talk about faith, motherhood, and those in-between seasons when God is stretching, pruning, and redefining you. Join me and other girlfriends as we have some good ole GIRL TALK FOR THE SOUL.
Hosted by Reka Leftridge — International Impact Award Recipient, #1 Best-Selling Author of Esther Energy, U.S. Navy Chief (Ret.), and Mommy Motivator helping women of faith slow down, stay grounded, and walk boldly in their God-given purpose.

For the Tired Mama Doing It All Alone: Take the Cape Off Before the Holidays
Hey girlfriend, have you ever prayed, God I need a break then someone offered help and you said, "No, I got it"?
You're not alone. In this honest girl-talk episode of Refill with Reka, we're talking superwoman syndrome, mom burnout, and how to take the cape off for real before the holidays without guilt.
Our power word for the week is ABIDE from John 15. Jesus as the vine, we as the branches. Apart from Him, we can't do anything. Reka walks you through 3 faith shifts to stop doing it all alone:
Tell the truth about your load — acknowledge what you're actually carrying
Make room to receive help — bring it to God before you say yes + invite specific support
Practice a pace you can sustain — establish a daily rhythm to remain in Christ
You'll learn the pause practice , how to pray before you say yes, ask for specific help, and how to let someone do it their way (towel-girlies, this one's for us).
Grab your journal for your
Refill Moment:
Where am I saying "I got it" when I really need support?
What responsibility needs a clear boundary so I can communicate it?
What small daily practice will help me remain close to God?

What Mary Teaches Us About Surrender to God
In John 12, Mary pours expensive perfume at the feet of Jesus while Judas criticizes what Jesus recognizes as worship. In this episode, Reka explores what Mary’s surrender teaches us about obedience, approval, and trusting God with the outcome.
You will learn how to:
Identify what you have been protecting more than trusting God
Separate wise counsel from opinions that delay your obedience
Release the need to be understood by everyone in the room
Use the P.O.U.R. framework to take your next faithful step
P.O.U.R.: Pause. Obey. Untie. Release.
Scripture: John 12
Reflection: “This week, I will pour out ______ by ______.”
Listen, reflect, and share this episode with a woman who needs the reminder that surrender is never wasted.

How to Put God First When Life Feels Too Busy
In this episode of Refill with Reka: Girl Talk for the Soul, Reka shares how she gradually fell out of her spiritual routine and the small, practical choices helping her return to God without guilt, shame, or another overwhelming schedule.
We’ll explore the balance between Mary and Martha, what John 1 teaches us about choosing connection before completion, and how John 2 reminds us that time in God’s presence should lead to obedience.
Because putting God first doesn’t mean abandoning your responsibilities. It means refusing to allow your responsibilities to replace your relationship with Him.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to use the practical R.O.O.M. Framework to put God first again
The R.O.O.M. Framework
R — Recognize the drift
O — Order what matters first
O — Obey one instruction
M — Maintain a simple rhythm
Soft. Saved. Surrendered...and still powerful.

MVP Access: Everyone Can’t Go Where God Is Taking You
In this empowering episode of Refill with Reka.
Reka invites you to step into your role as the MVP — Most Valuable Player — of your own life.
This conversation is a loving but firm reminder that elevation requires standards, discipline, identity, and obedience to God. If you’ve been playing small, settling for less, or living beneath your calling, this episode will challenge you to raise your standards, realign your habits, and fully embrace your God-given worth.
Reka breaks down why becoming the woman God called you to be isn’t about doing more — it’s about becoming more intentional, living in integrity with your purpose, and refusing to tolerate what no longer aligns with your next season.
This episode is for women in transition who are ready to stop surviving, start surrendering, and finally live like the MVP God already says they are.
Soft. Saved. Surrendered...and still powerful.
