After a much-needed reset, Molly and Emily kick off 2026 with a foundational conversation: identity.Together, they unpack the difference between an outside-in identity shaped by culture (curation, reinvention, performance, branding) and an inside-out identity formed in Christ. They talk honestly about how achievement-based validation, insecurity, and comparison hijack the heart - and how freedom begins when identity is received, not constructed.This episode also weaves in their “word of the year” themes - Rejoice and Eternity - and what it looks like to store up what matters, stay rooted as daughters of the King, and let God form lasting character. You’ll leave encouraged to make space for Holy Spirit, listen for what God speaks over you, and begin building from the only foundation that won’t shake.

    The House You’re Building

    In this heart-to-heart solo episode, Molly shares what’s been on her mind — from her favorite athletic skirt and new go-to hair products to a powerful takeaway from this weekend’s Waverly Girl teen Bible study.Rooted in Proverbs 14, she unpacks the metaphor of “the house” as a picture of a woman’s whole life — her heart, her friendships, her work, and her faith. For teenage girls especially, your “house” starts with your heart. It’s the center of everything — the foundation where wisdom, confidence, and purpose begin to grow.Whether you're just getting started or rebuilding from the inside out, this episode is a reminder that the most important place to build is within.Sign up for our Teen Bible Study here!

    Don’t Be Fooled by Culture

    This week on New Girl Culture, Molly shares a timely message about truth - how hard it is to speak it, how rare it’s becoming in culture, and why it matters more than ever. In a world full of half-truths and confusing messages, it can feel easier to stay quiet. But as believers, we don’t have to tiptoe around truth - we know it, and that’s a gift.Molly dives into what she's been learning this week: the challenge of staying authentic, the danger of being manipulated by feelings, and the importance of living in full transparency. There’s a growing disconnect between what culture tells women to be and who we truly are in Christ - and this episode is here to help realign your heart and remind you of your worth.Truth is a gift. Let’s walk boldly in it.Join Waverly Girl today! Learn more about our monthly box subscription here. Sign up for out next in-person Girl Class in West Palm Beach on April 19th!
