That Darn Resistance that Happens When We Try to Grow, Dream, and go for Our Goals but Why We Can't Let That Stop Us- Fear Should Not Stop Us From Moving Forward. In today's episode, I talk about how we should use resistance as an indicator, not a suffocator. We can't let the fear of something or the uncomfortable feeling to stop us from moving forward.     I am SOOO excited to share something com...

We all live crazy lives- hopefully, it is not just me. Sometimes things are so crazy that we get in a pattern of running from one crisis to another- we spend our days dealing with the livestock and fishes (and don't forget those pesky bugs) that we can't actually achieve what we need to achieve.  SOMETIMES it may be an indication you are doing too much- sometimes it is a way of our brains keeping...

Are you someone who doesn't like to let people down? Do you keep commitments at all costs? I know I do. I truly believe my word is my bond and I work hard to not break my commitments, to not sever promises, or say something that I never intend to follow through on. Do we have the same commitment to ourselves? How important is it to make and keep personal integrity? Listen in to get a new perspecti...

Do you experience times in your life that you want to do something- but you feel the weight of other's expectations on your life? Do you feel lost in who you are because you haven't separated expectations from reality? We go through life (and it is NOT easy) making choices. But, if we are not intentional about our choices, we may fall into the trap of doing things because they are "expected" rathe...

Are you starting to see how important it is to intentionally identify who you are? To really step into your calling, your purpose, your destiny- you need to intentionally look at what is stopping you. Part of who you are is wrapped into what is holding you back. What comfortable fear is keeping you from achieving that deep, inspiring dream that is deep within your soul? By identifying your fear yo...

Who are you? Who do you want to be? Who does Christ say you are? How does Christ's identity for you shape your future? These are all questions we should ask ourselves.  In order to really look at these, we have to look back at our life. We have to look back specifically at how God has shown up in our lives.  This is what I encourage you to do today. To find who you want to be or who you are becomi...

In today's episode, I talk about 5 things to do to be able to hold space for others. 5 things that you should be doing...

Do you ever wonder if you are parenting “good enough”? Do you worry if you are focusing on the “right” values and issues with your kids? What am I thinking…of COURSE, you don’t worry about this. Parenting is so easy- why worry about it. NOT (Yes I just dated myself I could have said psych!).  Parenting is such an honor and blessing but it is downright hard. In this episode, I discuss how to use En...

We all are under a LOT of pressure. We have these expectations placed on us from various places that it is impossible to live up to. Well what if we don't have to? What if we get to choose a different way? Have you identified where the expectations are from?

It seems like everyone these days are on a quest to know themselves. They want to know their purpose and really what they have been put on earth for.  I think that these questions are actually more important than the answers and the journey of discovery is even more important than the question.  Today I answer 3 questions I received from listeners (keep them coming  ;)  ) These questions are about...

Why does it seem like they have to go through a...

Taking time to reflect is a way to be more intentional about life.  Time passes whether we manage it or not- whether we plan it or not- whether we are waiting for something to happen or not time marches on.  What would happen if you decided to be proactive and preemptive? What if you crafted a season rather than allowing it to just pass by?  Here are some ways you can design your season without be...

The physical and emotional effects of grief and loss are NO JOKE!  But did you know that not healing can actually have long-term effects on our bodies? Causing illness, fatigue, and even some cases cancer?  Did you know that Broken Heart Syndrome is REAL but you don't have to live with it forever.  You can choose to restore.  You must choose to restore...YOU NEED to choose to restore.  Today I tal...

Many days it may seem like we are floating through time and allowing decisions to be made around us.  Many of the decisions we are making are subconscious.  Are you okay with that? Are you satisfied with your subconscious making decisions for you that can change the direction of your life? Are you fulfilled by just floating through the world? I know I'm not.  By changing one choice you can change...

As humans, we use the calendar to set aside special dates and times. We mark unique dates on the calendar and plan parties surrounding milestones like birthdays and graduations.  When you experience a loss a new type of milestone is added to your life; to your calendar.  These dates come whether we are ready or not and the first few milestones are the hardest, but like the years the count goes up....
