Life Is Better With Friends
Feb 2700:39:00Tap to summarizeThis week's episode is an honest, transparent venting session. I'm sharing a bit about the mental and emotional fatigue I've been experiencing lately and how this second round of therapy is helping me finally process parts of my past I once ignored. During this stretching, I've been especially grateful for the friends walking alongside me, which has served as a reminder that godly friendships aren't just nice to have but necessary. Life feels so much better when you don't have to do it alone. Join me on this episode as I come to realize that truth.
Transcribe →Love, Life & Respite
Feb 1300:46:49Tap to summarizeThis week on Sorin's Soapbox, we're slowing things down for a cozy catch-up. I'm sharing moments from celebrating my sister's birthday, what it looked like to step back and be present intentionally, and the mixed emotions that Valentine's Day can bring. I'm also officially in my romance era; talking about favorite romance films, favorite romance authors, and why we still need more diverse love stories represented on screen. It's a chill episode about love, life, and taking the moments of rest when we need them. 💘🎬✨
Transcribe →A Hunger That Never Satisfies
Jan 2300:56:21Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I discuss the four idols we often turn to when we’re hungry for something deeper: pleasure, power, security, and approval, and why none of them ever truly satisfy. This isn’t about changing behavior or trying harder. It’s about naming our true longing and trusting God to meet us. If you’ve ever been curious about why certain patterns seem to keep coming back, this conversation is just for you. 🎧 Listen with an open heart.
Transcribe →The Year of Breakthrough
Jan 900:45:40Tap to summarizeHappy New Year, everyone! As the first episode of the year, it seems that the Holy Spirit decided to put its foot on my neck. This seems to be the year of not simply waiting on God to move, but partnering with Him in full surrender. I talk about the wake-up call and the two sermons that caused me to ask myself if I want true, authentic healing this year. We're talking about not circling the same mountains over and over and stepping out of familiar prisons into the doorway of freedom. Join me on my soapbox as I dive deep into this topic and figure out what this means for me and maybe even for you.

Dec 500:38:40Tap to summarizeWe’re catching up, y’all! I just got back from my dream vacay in Hawaii (still mentally on the beach, not gonna lie), spent Thanksgiving with my bestie and the adorable fam, which gave me major baby fever… but let’s be real, I need husband fever first 😅. Now I’m back in colder weather, and seasonal depression pulled up quicker than expected. Let’s talk joy, jet lag, and the emotional whiplash of the holiday season. It’s giving sun, stuffing, and SAD.
