About Rooted and Raw Podcast: Rooted in Purpose, Raw in Truth
This podcast is where real women have real conversations about the trenches of life while staying deeply anchored in faith. It's a space for unfiltered, honest dialogue about struggles, victories, and the everyday messiness of walking out one's purpose.
Each episode dives into raw, vulnerable stories of faith, resilience, and transformation–because growth happens in the deep places. Whether it's navigating personal challenges, relationships, motherhood, career struggles, or spiritual battles, Rooted and Raw is about keeping it real while staying firmly planted in God's truth.
Making Room for What's Next: What Is God Asking You to Release?
We're back to our regular programming on Rooted and Raw, and we're diving into a question that invites us to pause, reflect, and get honest with ourselves and God: What is God inviting me to release so I can walk freely into the season He's calling me to?
Sometimes stepping into a new season isn't just about what we need to do or where God is leading us. It's also about what we need to let go of. Old mindsets, fear, control, past disappointments, unhealthy patterns, expectations, or even versions of ourselves we've outgrown can become things we carry long after God has invited us to lay them down.
In this episode, we have an honest conversation about surrender, obedience, and the difficulty of releasing what feels familiar—even when it's no longer serving the season we're in. We explore how to recognize what may be holding us back, how to trust God when letting go feels uncomfortable, and what it looks like to make room for the things He's calling us toward.
Because sometimes the next step isn't about doing more, trying harder, or holding on tighter. Sometimes it's about trusting God enough to open our hands and let go.
Join us as we reflect on what it means to release what no longer belongs in our hands and walk freely, faithfully, and wholeheartedly into the season God has for us.

The Memories That Made Us — A Sister Collision Slumber Party
Description
We’re ending our Sister Collision takeover exactly how we should—with a slumber party!
For this special episode, we’re going down memory lane and reminiscing about some of our favorite moments together. The funny stories, the unforgettable memories, the moments that probably didn't seem significant at the time but became part of the story of who we are together.
This one is less about having all the answers and more about simply being together. We’re laughing, remembering, telling stories, and celebrating the history that has helped shape our sisterhood.
Because sometimes you don't realize how meaningful a community is until you stop and look back at everything you've experienced together.
So grab your favorite snack, get comfortable, and come hang out with Sister Collision for one last night of memories, laughter, and sisterhood.

Community Looks Different Now — How Our Definition Has Changed
What did community mean to you five years ago? And what does it mean to you now?
As we grow, our understanding of friendship, connection, belonging, and support can change. The people we once needed around us may not be the same people we need in this season, and the way we experience community can look completely different than it did before.
In this episode of the Sister Collision takeover, we’re having an honest conversation about how our definition of community has evolved over time. We talk about growing up, changing seasons, deeper relationships, boundaries, vulnerability, and what it really means to find people who can grow with you.
Because community isn't just about being surrounded by people. It’s about being known, supported, challenged, loved, and rooted in something bigger than ourselves.
So what does community look like for you now?
