  • Leaving a Life of Legacy
    Jan 14 2026

    Legacy moves beyond last names, family trees, or picture-perfect backgrounds. In fact, it moves into the moments that most people may never see. For those who come from complicated families… or who struggle to see how their lives could possibly matter to anyone else…this conversation is for you.

    What does it really mean to live a life of legacy? What if the way you love, show up, pray, encourage, or simply stay faithful is shaping something far bigger than you realize?

    We unpack how shifting our focus from what others think to what God has called us to do frees us to let our light shine. Not for recognition. Not for applause. But to glorify God.

    Our hope is that you walk away encouraged, reminded that you are leaving a legacy, for your family, your friends, and for people who will come after you… whether you ever see it or not.

    And as always, we invite you to sit with the Keepin’ It Real Question and ask it of yourself. “Is there someone who has left a legacy for you — in a good way — who may never know it this side of heaven?”

  • When You're the Go-To Woman
    Dec 29 2025

    There’s a particular kind of woman people instinctively run to when life falls apart. She’s strong. She listens well. She prays. She shows up. And before she knows it, she’s carrying everyone else’s stories, struggles, and pain, often quietly, and usually without complaint.

    In this episode of Keepin' It Real, Kimberly Haar and Kimberly Mullen talk honestly about what it’s like to be the go-to woman...the one people lean on, vent to, and expect always to have the strength, the words, and the faith to hold it all together.

    We unpack the difference between being present and taking responsibility… between loving people well and slowly draining your own emotional and spiritual stamina. We talk about why you don’t have to fix, solve, or even respond with the perfect words, and how sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is let someone know you’re thinking about them and praying for them.

    This conversation is a gentle reminder that just because you can carry something doesn’t mean you’re meant to. Ultimately, God is the One who carries burdens, not us.

    Keepin’ It Real Question:
    Are you the go-to person for friends and family? If so, how do you keep from wearing out?

    Pull up a chair. This one feels like a conversation you didn’t know you needed.

  • The Power of Women Who Show Up For Each Other
    Dec 10 2025

    There’s something undeniably powerful about a woman who shows up for another woman. Not in grand, cinematic moments—though those happen, too—but in the quiet, everyday ways that remind us we’re not walking this life alone.

    This episode is all about that sacred gift: women showing up for women.

    We’re talking about the friend who helps you pick out an outfit when you can’t decide.

    The auntie-type who gives the kind of advice that saves you five years of heartache.

    The sister in Christ who sits with you in silence when life knocks the breath out of you—no answers, just presence.

    And yes… the woman who prays you through something you didn’t even have the words for.

    These moments matter. They shape us. They steady us. They remind us that God often wraps His love in the voice, arms, and wisdom of another woman.

    Our Keepin’ It Real Question:
    “Tell me about a time a woman showed up for you.”
    Your story might be sweet, simple, hilarious—or holy. They all count.

    Because here’s the truth:
    Sometimes you’re the one who shows up.
    And sometimes you’re the one who needs someone to show up for you.

    That’s the beauty of genuine relationships.

    Pull up a chair and join the conversation.
