What happens when you stop surviving and start living from wholeness?

In this episode of Becoming, I talk about how reclaiming my soft life helped me appreciate my beauty — not just on dressed-up days, but in the quiet, ordinary moments too.

I share reflections on slowing down, being present, enjoying life with intention, spending time with God, and learning how to feel beautiful without performing or overdoing it.

This episode is for the woman who’s learning how to feel good in her life, trust her peace, and recognize that nothing is missing in her.

What if the soft life isn’t something you buy — but something you remember?

In this episode, I talk about reclaiming a way of living that once came naturally to me. From childhood tea parties and the safety of being covered, to adulthood where silence feels uncomfortable and peace takes intention, this conversation is about slowing down without guilt and letting go of the armor we picked up along the way.

We talk about:

• Why chaos can feel easier than calm

• How silence makes us sit with ourselves

• Letting go of armor without losing strength

• Choosing peace even when it feels unfamiliar

• And remembering that if God has us covered, we don’t have to live like we’re alone

This one is honest, reflective, and meant to be taken slowly.

We’ll pick this back up…

same time next week.

My kids are four years apart —

which means they met different versions of me.

Not because I didn’t love them.

Not because I didn’t try.

But because life kept changing me.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on motherhood through postpartum depression, deployments, starting over in new states without family nearby, and learning how to keep going even when I felt empty.

We talk about guilt, grace, survival seasons, and what it looks like to parent from healing instead of survival.

About the moments that didn’t look perfect — but were still rooted in love.

If you’re a mom…

if you’re healing while raising kids…

or if you’ve been strong for so long that rest feels unfamiliar —

this conversation is for you.

This season didn’t start with noise — it started with peace.

In the first episode of Season 2, I’m reflecting on life after becoming.

The quiet confidence.

The unfamiliar calm.

The realization that I might already be who I once prayed to be.

We talk about learning to trust peace, singing love songs to myself as a form of self-love, and unlearning the belief that I was “too much.” This episode is about honoring growth without rushing it, and choosing softness without guilt.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your peace is real…

this one’s for you.

In the Season 1 finale, Sarah La’Joy strips back the armor and speaks from the heart about what happens when survival stops serving you. This episode is a soft, honest conversation about releasing survival mode, choosing peace on purpose, trusting God more than your patterns, and finally feeling safe enough to lay the heavy things down.

Because we wasn’t put here to carry a damn thing.

If you’ve ever felt tired, unseen, overwhelmed, or like the world expected you to be strong without rest… this one is for you.

Thank you for sitting with Sarah this season for listening, for growing, for becoming.

Season 2 is already being written.

But for now… breathe, release, and let softness meet you.

Motherhood didn’t give me time to get healed first it grew me while I was still trying to figure out who I was.
In this episode, I’m opening up about the real moments that shaped me: the day I snapped at Cameron while I was sick, the years I used buying things as a way to “show love,” and how God is gently leading me as I learn to lead my kids more softly.

This episode is for the mama who loves her babies deeply but is healing in real time…
the mama learning to breathe before she reacts…
the mama breaking cycles and building new foundations…
and the mama teaching her kids not to shrink, dim their light, or make themselves small to be loved.

We talk softness.
We talk accountability.
We talk parenting while healing.
We talk the beauty of growing with our children not ahead of them or behind them.

Scripture: Isaiah 40:11
“He gently leads those that have young.”

If you’re a mother who’s still becoming this one is for you.

There was a time I waited for people to treat me right — until I realized, I set the standard.

This episode is about learning to handle yourself the way you’ve always wanted to be handled with patience, peace, and care. 🍵

Inspired by Teyana Taylor’s words, “I expect to be treated like a cup of tea,” I share what it looked like to finally slow down, start my days with intention, and live from a place of softness instead of survival.

From messy mornings and Proverbs reflections to beach prayers and quiet resets, this episode is a reminder: you’re not behind — you’re just still steeping. 🌿

Peace is beautiful but she’s not cheap. 🍃
In this episode, Sarah La’Joy opens up about what it really costs to live in peace the people, habits, and versions of yourself you have to release to step into God’s timing.

From late-night surrender on her yoga mat to quiet mornings where peace finally found her, Sarah shares how she learned to stop rushing, stop explaining, and start trusting. Because peace doesn’t come when everything calms down… it comes when you do.

If you’ve been praying for peace but feeling the weight of what it’s taking to get there, this one’s for you, baby.
You’ll leave reminded that peace isn’t passive it’s powerful. And it’s always worth the price. 🤎
