The All-In Woman Challenge

There comes a point where you get tired of hearing your own excuses. Tired of procrastinating on the woman you want to be. Tired of feeling scattered, overwhelmed, and emotionally stretched thin. Tired of letting life happen to you instead of partnering with God to shape it.

That’s where I’ve been. In that in-between place where you know you’re capable of more, spiritually, physically, emotionally, relationally, but you’re stuck in cycles that keep pulling you under.

And December felt like the moment to stop waiting. Stop numbing. Stop drifting. Stop putting myself, my marriage, and my calling on hold.

This December, I’m choosing to become The All-In Woman.

Not the halfway-in woman. Not the “when I feel motivated” woman. Not the “maybe next month” woman. Not the woman who survives by scrolling and coping and losing herself in overwhelm.

But the woman who shows up, softens, stewards, and surrenders, all at the same time.

Why December?

December is the month we talk about “preparing Him room.” And while this challenge isn’t a scripture plan or a traditional advent journey, something about that phrase hit me differently this year.

Not “prepare Him room” in my schedule. Not in my décor. Not through checking off the “spiritual Christmas” boxes.

But in my actual life. My marriage. My habits. My health. My emotions. My discipline. My obedience. My calling.

Not by reading a set of verses, but by becoming the kind of woman who is ready to meet Him.

A woman who has cleaned up her inner world. A woman who is walking in obedience even when she doesn’t feel like it. A woman who is softened, grounded, connected, regulated, and confident. A woman who is finally all in with God, with herself, with her marriage, with her purpose.

Because I don’t want to show up on December 31st still drowning in the same patterns. I want to show up surrendered. Present. Obedient. Transformed. Proud of the woman I chose to be.

The Six Pillars of The All-In Woman

This challenge is built on six foundational areas, the places God keeps nudging me toward, the places I’ve been avoiding, the places that need tending, discipline, and softness.

These are the pillars:

1. ALL-IN WITH GOD

Not perfect. Not polished. But obedient. Daily connection, daily surrender, daily “Here I am, Lord.”

2. ALL-IN WITH MYSELF

No more abandoning the woman in the mirror. Movement, nourishment, hydration, boundaries, intention.

3. ALL-IN WITH MY MARRIAGE

Praying for him, not from frustration, but from softness. Choosing unity. Choosing gentleness. Choosing connection.

4. ALL-IN WITH MY HOME

Not aesthetic perfection. Atmosphere. Peace. Order. One small thing every day to anchor my home to the work God is doing in me.

5. ALL-IN WITH MY EMOTIONAL REGULATION

Soft reactions. Slower pauses. Healing patterns. Calming the nervous system before it spirals.

6. ALL-IN WITH MY CALLING

My social media. My writing. My voice. My purpose. Treating it like God’s assignment, not an afterthought.

The Heart Behind This Challenge

I don’t want to just “do better.” I want to become better. Not for the aesthetic. Not for the productivity. Not because I’m supposed to. But because I am TIRED of living in the gap between who I am and who I know God is calling me to be.

I want my life to match my prayers. My actions to match my desires. My habits to match my calling. My home to match the peace I say I want. My marriage to reflect the softness I crave. My body to feel cared for. My mind to feel clear. My emotions to feel grounded.

I want to stop drowning in my life and start leading it again.

What This Looks Like (Daily)

Every day of December, I will:

• Pray for at least 5 minutes

• Practice one act of obedience

• Move my body (any way counts)

• Nourish myself intentionally

• Set one phone boundary

• Pray over my husband

• Choose one connecting action toward him

• Reset one space in my home

• Do one cozy or atmosphere-setting act

• Practice emotional regulation

• Do something kind toward myself

• Create or take one step toward my calling

  
  

This is not a “do it perfectly” challenge. This is a show up anyway challenge. A no excuses challenge. A discipline and softness together challenge. A God and daily life woven together challenge. A becoming the woman I’m proud of challenge.

The Energy of the All-In Woman

She is not waiting for the new year. She is not waiting to feel ready. She is not waiting for motivation. She is not waiting for someone else to fix it. She is not waiting for perfect conditions.

She is stepping in now. Soft. Obedient. Disciplined. Devoted. A woman who responds to God. A woman who keeps her promises. A woman who sees her health, marriage, home, emotions, and calling as sacred. A woman who knows excuses are just fear wearing makeup. A woman who is done drifting.

A woman who is, finally… all in.

Closing Reflection

If you feel pulled toward this, it’s probably because you’re tired too. Tired of the cycles. Tired of the overwhelm. Tired of the excuses. Tired of the woman you keep intending to become… but never quite step into.

December can be different. YOU can be different. Not by force, but by intention. Not by pressure, but by presence. Not by hustle, but by obedience. Not by perfection, but by commitment.

If you want to join me in this, I’d love for you to walk this month with me. I will be sharing my journey over on TikTok so be sure to follow me over there so you can get updates and steps to joining me in this challenge!

Here’s to becoming the All-In Woman. Here’s to surrender and strength. Here’s to a December that changes us from the inside out.

Until next time, may your home be whole,

your heart be light,

and your faith be fierce.
