Wife in Bloom

Wife in Bloom

Welcome to Wife in Bloom — the podcast for Christian women who are ready to grow in confidence, renew their mindset, and see their marriage and intimacy flourish in the way God intended. 🌸 I’m Ashley, and not too long ago I was drowning in shame, insecurity, and negative self-talk. At over 330 pounds, paralyzed by anxiety and ADHD, and hiding from life behind a smile, I believed I was broken. But God had a different plan — and through His grace, I’ve grown into a confident, healthy, faith-filled woman, a wife in bloom. Here, we’ll talk openly and honestly about the struggles Christian wives face — from body image to intimacy, from self-worth to communication — and how faith, mindset, and practical growth can transform everything. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress. It’s about taking off the labels of “not enough” and “too broken” and learning to see yourself as God sees you: loved, capable, and called. Each week, I’ll share real stories, biblical truths, and practical steps to help you break free from shame, grow in confidence, and create a thriving marriage rooted in Christ. Because girl, you’re not just surviving — you’re meant to bloom. 🌸

What if I told you that the real secrets to life aren’t hidden in some self-help book or found in the next viral morning routine, but in a few simple truths you’ve probably heard your whole life?

Let’s be honest, sex is one of the most misunderstood and under-talked-about parts of Christian marriage. Too often, we’re told that intimacy is “for men,” that women are just along for the ride, or that pleasure is somehow shameful. But the Bible and even science tell us a completely different story: God created sex as a blessing for BOTH husband and wife, a place of unity, joy, and yes, worship.

In this episode of  Wife ...

The world is shaking, and yet, if you pause and look closely, you’ll see something remarkable happening beneath the surface. A spiritual awakening is stirring across the globe. You can feel it in the conversations online, you can hear it in the rise of worship music, you can see it in people showing up to church for the first time in years. And then came the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk. Suddenly, faith and prayer aren’t ...

This podcast isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. It’s for YOU—the wife who doesn’t quite fit the mold, the woman with ADHD or anxiety who feels messy but is ready for more, and the wife who longs to bless her h...

I used to believe I was broken.

At over 330 pounds, drowning in anxiety, ashamed of my body, and paralyzed by ADHD, I couldn’t even pick up the phone to make an appointment. My house was messy, my brain was messier, and I lived every day under the weight of negative self-talk and shame. I smiled for everyone else, but inside? I felt like a disaster.

And that shame followed me everywhere — into my marriage, into intimacy, into my fait...
