What's the Word?

What happens when you commit to showing up online for 40 days—even when you’re busy, tired, uninspired, or convinced a post isn’t going to work?I just wrapped a 40-day content challenge with Jessi Jean, and I’m sharing what actually happened: 400+ new followers, nearly $3K in revenue, new brand opportunities, viral-ish posts…and some much bigger lessons about consistency, community, experimentation, and getting over the fear of being seen.If you’re building something online or you simply need a little push to keep showing up—this episode is for you.

What if wellness didn’t have to feel like another thing on your to-do list? In this walk-and-talk episode of What’s the Word?, Jaime explores the healing power of music, movement, faith, and everyday joy—and why sometimes the simplest practices are the ones we need most.What if some of the most powerful wellness tools are things we already have access to?A favorite song. A walk outside. Dancing in the kitchen. Prayer. Play. Connection.In this episode of What's the Word?, Jaime takes you along for a quick walk-and-talk about music, movement, and the rhythm God created us to live in.Inspired by Psalm 149:3 — "Let them praise His name with dancing and make music to Him..." — we're exploring what happens when we stop treating movement as punishment and start seeing it as joy, connection, worship, and care for ourselves.In this episode:Why music and movement can be powerful wellness toolsMoving for joy instead of caloriesThe connection between faith, rhythm, and wellnessWhy adults may need more play, not more productivitySimple ways to bring movement into everyday family lifeWhy community is such an important part of feeling wellA one-song challenge you can try TODAYToday's word: RHYTHM.

Have you ever felt like everyone else has more help than you?In this week's episode of What's the Word?, I'm sharing a real and honest summer update—what it's been like navigating life as a full-time mom of two while building a business with limited childcare, chasing big dreams, and learning to let go of the pressure to do it all.Together we'll reflect on Romans 12:4–5 and the reminder that God created us for community. We each have unique gifts, and none of us were meant to carry life's burdens alone.In this episode, we'll talk about:Why independence isn't always the goalWhat this season has been teaching me about asking for and accepting supportHow to become the village you wish you hadSimple ways to encourage and lift up the people around youChallenge of the Week: Reach out to one person. Encourage them, ask for help, or simply remind them they're not alone.If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who could use the reminder today.And if you're looking for a faith-filled community of women pursuing healthier, more intentional lives while building businesses and supporting one another, I'd love to connect and see if the Rooted + Rise Village is the right fit for you.Remember: we're better together. 🌊

This week reminded me of something I think we've forgotten.We're not meant to build businesses, raise families, heal, or chase big dreams alone.In this episode I'm sharing the biggest lessons from an incredible week inside Waves Wellness Village—from our paddle out honoring mental health, to the amazing women showing up for each other, the momentum happening inside our social media challenge, and why I believe community might be the greatest form of self-care.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or like you're carrying everything yourself... this one's for you.We'll also talk about: Why momentum beats perfection  The surprising power of simply showing up  The wins happening inside our Village  Why I'm more convinced than ever that women need community now more than ever If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs a reminder that she doesn't have to do life alone.Episode HighlightsThis week has honestly been one I'll never forget.Inside our 60-day Ride the Waves challenge, women have been showing up every single day. Not perfectly—but consistently.And that's where real transformation begins.Some of my favorite wins this week:🌊 Hosted one of our favorite Village accountability calls yet.🌊 Kicked off an 8-week coaching journey with one of our Village members as she grows her business.🌊 Welcomed new women into the Waves Wellness Village community.🌊 Hosted our paddle out honoring mental health—a beautiful reminder that healing happens in community.🌊 Continued posting every day during our social media challenge, reaching thousands of new people and welcoming hundreds into our growing community.🌊 Watching women begin collaborating, supporting one another, and realizing they don't have to build their dreams alone.

WHAT IF YOU TRUSTED THE NUDGE?What if that dream, idea, or thought that keeps coming back isn't random?What if God is trying to get your attention?After taking a little break, Jaime is back with a new episode of What's the Word? — and this week's word is all about FAITH, VISION, and trusting the nudge before you know exactly how it's all going to work out.Inspired by Ecclesiastes 11:6, Jaime shares what she's learning through her own 60-day self-care and visibility challenge, the difference between saying we trust God and actually moving like we do, and why sometimes we have to stop digging up the seeds to check if they're growing.Because let's be real...We pray for clarity and then ask for 17 more signs, a business plan, a timeline, and a guarantee. 😂In this episode, Jaime talks about allowing herself to finally SEE the bigger vision — community, speaking, music, movement, travel, helping moms, and building a true village — even when she doesn't know exactly how every piece will come together.You'll hear about:• Trusting the ideas that won't leave you alone• Why clarity often comes after movement• Planting seeds without obsessing over the fruit• Recognizing the people and opportunities already showing up• Building a dream while you're still in the middle of it• Making ONE move today instead of waiting for the whole planA reminder for anyone who feels behind, stuck, or unsure:Your dream is possible.You're not too late.You do not have to figure it all out today.Keep planting.
