Rooted in the heart of the Beauty From Ashes Conference movement, this podcast brings together powerful conversations surrounding healing, identity, faith, emotional wellness, women’s empowerment, restoration, leadership, resilience, relationships, purpose, and breakthrough.

What happens when you're smiling publicly and struggling privately?
In this episode, Dr. Yonnicka sits down with Pastor Trudy Loots of Grace Family Church Suncoast for a conversation about burnout, emotional exhaustion, and what it really looks like to hold on when you're tired of being strong.
Trudy opens up about seasons of feeling depleted while everyone around her assumed she was fine, how God met her in that place, and the difference between healthy perseverance and burnout that's quietly taking root.
This conversation is for the woman carrying everyone else's needs while neglecting her own soul: the ministry leader, the pastor's wife, the mother, the caregiver, the healthcare worker, who has learned to keep going even when she has nothing left to give. Trudy also reflects on this year's Beauty From Ashes theme, Unleashed, and what she believes God is unleashing in women right now.

In this episode of the Breathe Life Podcast, Dr. Yonnicka sits down with Pastor Erin Morris of Ten9 Ministries and The Rock Church for a raw and faith-filled conversation about what it truly means to trust God when life doesn't unfold the way you expected. Together they explore seasons of disappointment, unanswered prayers, church hurt, and what it looks like to keep serving God faithfully when circumstances don't make sense.
If you have ever loved God, served faithfully, and still quietly wondered why some prayers remain unanswered, this conversation is for you. Pastor Erin speaks directly to the woman carrying grief, navigating disappointment, or feeling forgotten, with honesty, scripture, and the kind of hope that can only come from someone who has walked through the valley and kept trusting anyway.
