Coffee with Cece (formerly The Wilderness and The Well)
A podcast for professional women of faith
Coffee with Cece is a quiet, honest space for professional women who love God, carry responsibility, and are learning how to walk faithfully without burning out or abandoning themselves.
Hosted by Cece, this podcast explores faith as it’s lived in real life — in seasons of fatigue, transition, discernment, and becoming. These conversations are gentle, grounded, and reflective, offering wisdom rather than quick answers.
Each episode invites you to slow down and consider what obedience, trust, rest, and calling look like when you’re competent, capable, and quietly tired. We talk about boundaries, fear, identity, and growth — without hype, judgement, or pressure to perform.
Coffee with Cece isn’t a self-help podcast or a place for spiritual shortcuts. It’s a sanctuary-adjacent space where you can think, feel, and encounter God honestly.
Pour your coffee. Take a breath. You’re welcome here.

#9 The Power of The Pause - Finding Stillness in Chicago
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Cece shares personal reflections from a recent trip to Chicago—originally intended as a work trip to deliver a training—but one that became an unexpected invitation from God to pause, breathe, and be refreshed.
Through the noise of the city, Cece discovered the quiet power of pausing—right in the middle of purpose and responsibility. Listen in as she explores what it means to slow down, listen for God’s voice, and create room for renewal, even when life doesn’t stop.
