If you’ve been following our journey, you know this season has been one for the books. We’re 29 weeks pregnant with our baby boy, running Fordivine at full speed, speaking on stages, and navigating what it means to build a life and legacy at the same time. And the truth is, this season is changing us more than the baby ever could.

In this episode, Jake and I sit down for a full, unfiltered update. We’re talking about the real stuff - how our marriage has deepened through this season, what God’s been teaching us about surrender, how our businesses have shifted, and the fears and excitement of becoming parents. We also open up about the behind-the-scenes conversations we’ve never shared publicly before.

Whether you’re in a season of waiting, building, expecting, or just trying to figure out what God is doing right now, this conversation is for you.

• How pregnancy quietly shifts identity, priorities, and emotional depth
• The conversations every couple needs before becoming parents
• The reality of preparing for a baby behind the scenes
• How we’re learning to integrate family, faith, and ambition
• What it takes to prepare for a child while still being refined in the process

She’s 51, a grandma of two, and she has the body and the energy that most women in their 30s are still chasing.

In this episode, Emily sits down with Patricia Hernandez, a perimenopause and fat loss expert who has personally guided 800+ women through the transformation they thought was behind them. She’s one of the most credible voices in the over-40 wellness space, blending practitioner-led protocols with real-life results. Her approach covers hormones, gut health, HRT, peptides, full labs, and the mindset shifts that make it all stick.

Together, Emily and Patricia unpack what’s actually keeping weight on your body in this season of life. They go deep into the root causes: cortisol, estrogen, gut dysfunction, and why most traditional fat loss advice is written for a 25-year-old body. Patricia gives the real framework, practitioner-tested and client-proven.

This conversation is layered with so much more than protocols. It's about reclaiming your body as an act of stewardship. God gave you this one vessel, and it is not too late to honor it well. Whether you've been struggling for two years or twenty, this episode is your invitation to stop fighting your body and start understanding it.

• The hormonal shift at 40 that most women are never told about
• The real impact of cortisol, estrogen dominance, and low progesterone
• How stress can completely block fat loss
• Patricia’s honest take on GLP-1s, peptides, and HRT
• Stewarding your body as an act of faith

Have you ever felt like you’re walking with God, yet you’re still battling depression, insecurity, or cycles you can’t seem to break?

Meet Tara Oldridge. She’s an ordained minister, CEO of Lighthouse Global Ekklesia, founder of The Academy, and the author of The Truth Will Set You Free: Exposing the Lies That Shape Your Identity. For over 32 years, she’s freed people from shame, addiction, broken marriages, and quiet bondage that many believers don’t even notice.

In this episode, Emily and Tara unpack why so many Christians are calling themselves free while still living bound. They go deep into the lies that keep women passive, anxious, and operating far beneath the authority God gave them. This conversation will challenge you. It will confront comfortable Christianity. And it will call you higher than where you’ve been sitting. Whether you’re in a season of awakening or a season where you’ve settled for less than what God promised, this episode is your invitation to get free and stay free.

• What real deliverance looks like
• How hidden lies keep believers in cycles of fear, unworthiness, and oppression
• Practical steps to identify and break generational cycles of sin and trauma
• The difference between truth as information and truth as a weapon
• Why freedom requires partnership with the Holy Spirit and personal responsibility
