What if the hardest seasons of your life weren’t meant to break you… but to build you into the woman God designed you to be?
In this episode, Brandi sits down with Angela Aja, author, coach, and survivor turned spiritual powerhouse for one of the most honest, purpose-filled conversations yet. They dive deep into what it means to rise from the ashes, to heal from what tried to destroy you, and to find your God-given identity in the middle of your mess.
Angela opens up about her own journey through loss, reinvention, and rediscovering her worth after starting over. Together, she and Brandi talk about how to turn your pain into purpose, how to quiet the noise of comparison, and how to walk boldly in your divine calling even when fear tries to keep you small.
This isn’t surface-level motivation, it’s a wake-up call for the woman who is ready to stop waiting for permission and start walking in the purpose God already placed inside her! Grab your coffee (or your journal), and lean in. This conversation will remind you who you are, whose you are, and that it’s never too late to soar.

This episode will stop you in your tracks—and show you the strength it takes to say “yes” to God when it costs you everything.
Jordan’s story is one of heartbreak, hard choices, and holy surrender. At 21, she found herself pregnant—far from God, surrounded by darkness, and staring down decisions no young woman wants to face. What followed was a journey of redemption, realignment, and radical obedience.
She could have hidden her pregnancy. She could’ve stayed silent. She could’ve chosen the easier path. But instead, Jordan chose adoption—placing her baby boy in the arms of another family, and her story in the hands of the Father.
This isn’t just a pro-life conversation. This is the kind of raw testimony that shifts atmospheres and shakes off shame. This is what it looks like when a strong woman says, “Not my will, but Yours.”
Jordan is now on a mission—educating churches, encouraging birth moms, sharing the truth about adoption, and hosting her own podcast, The Journey After. She’s living proof that God can use the darkest seasons to birth the most beautiful purpose.

In this episode, Brandi sits down with Tabitha Yates, suicide survivor, author, and mental health advocate, for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the intersection of faith and mental health. Nothing is off the table: abuse, depression, suicidal thoughts, codependency, therapy, boundaries, and what it really looks like to support someone you love without losing yourself in the process.
If you’ve ever struggled with your own mental health or carried the weight of walking alongside someone who has, you need this conversation. It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s the truth most of us want to ask but are too afraid to say out loud.

Last week was heavy, and maybe you’ve been feeling every emotion too. But this isn’t about calling you out, it’s about calling you up.
In this week’s episode, Brandi gets real about what it looks like to put Christ back at the center of our homes, our families, and our lives. From church pews to car rides, revival starts with our own heart posture and the ripple effect is unstoppable.
This is your reminder: don’t quit, don’t shrink back, and don’t give fear a foothold. Victory is already yours in Jesus!

Ever wondered if that “toxic” label is being thrown around too loosely—or if there’s something deeper happening in your relationships?
In this episode of The Bossy Big Sis, Brandi sits down with Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (and host of the Soul Grit Podcast), Ann Taylor McNeese, to talk about those hard-but-necessary conversations around narcissism, family dynamics, boundaries, and faith.
This is not your typical clinical chat—think coffee date with girlfriends, sprinkled with wisdom, laughter, and a whole lot of real talk about what it means to navigate messy relationships while still guarding your heart.
Inside this episode we cover:
The difference between difficult people vs. something more serious
Why boundaries aren’t about controlling others (and what they really are)
How “triggers” show up in everyday life and how to stop letting them run the show
The sneaky ways we over-function in our families and what that costs us
How faith reshapes the way we navigate toxic dynamics and find peace
This conversation will leave you nodding along, reflecting on your own family patterns, and maybe rethinking the way you approach conflict altogether.
Pull up a chair, grab your coffee (or your protein shake), and let’s dig in and you just might shift how you see your relationships.

This episode is powerful. Raw. Redemptive. And it’s one you won’t forget.
Brandi sits down with Sindy Love, host of the Live Loved Mom podcast (ranked in the top 10% globally!), to talk about what it really means to walk through fire — and come out stronger, wiser, and deeply anchored in God's love.
Sindy opens up about her childhood in Haiti, surviving trauma, abuse, and identity struggles that shaped her early years. She shares the pain of living with secrets, the weight of people-pleasing, and the deep desire for love and acceptance — and how she found freedom through surrender and faith.
But this isn’t just about what she walked through — it’s about what God has done since.This is a must-listen for any woman who’s ever carried silent battles, questioned her worth, or struggled to let go. Whether you’re in a hard season or on the other side of one, this conversation will remind you of the healing, strength, and JOY that’s waiting on the other side of surrender.
✨ Bonus: Sindy is giving Bossy Big Sis listeners a FREE 3-day devotional: Live Loved Mom. Designed to help moms let go of guilt and anchor themselves in biblical truth — you’ll find the link in the show notes below!
