Hello, there!

My name is Monika: I’m a wife, mama, writer, podcaster, doer of all the things and drinker of all the coffee.

I married my high school sweetheart, Ryan, and together we have four beautiful children: Eveleigh, Cora, Indie, and Isaiah. After over a decade in ministry in Orange County, CA we relocated to the Nashville Area.

I’m passionate about following Jesus and encouraging others to walk in the true freedom found only in Christ. I believe in the power of vulnerability and storytelling, and know that when we share our stories we help others to do the same. I hope that my words equip you, encourage you, and most importantly—help point you to Jesus.

So welcome, friend. I hope you’ll pull up a chair and stay awhile.
