In this episode, I'm talking about what healthy boundaries look like in dating relationships and families. Boundaries protect us from abuse and pave the way to achieving true intimacy - God’s way. And, setting healthy boundaries is the most loving thing we can do in order to take care of ourselves – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. www.triciazody.com

Have you set healthy boundaries in your friendships? So often, we don’t establish healthy boundaries because we don't want to hurt somebody's feelings, or aren't comfortable dealing with what we perceive to be a confrontation. When this happens, we are at risk for being taken advantage of or even abused. Deciding what your boundaries are is the kindest, most healthy thing you can do...

Setting healthy boundaries allows us to care for ourselves, our ‘agency’. A lack of boundaries opens the door for others to determine what you think, how you feel, and what you do. When you have a lack of boundaries, you are giving away the authority of your ‘agency’. Join me as we find out how to do this effectively.

Today, we’re checking in on the strength of our foundation of our three-legged stool - that is, the mind, the body, and the spirit. How are you doing, friend? To get greater context behind today’s episode, I suggest you listen to Episode #2 if you haven’t already. www.triciazody.com The Body Keeps The Score by Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk www.wordview.org

Today, I'm talking about hiding. When I'm afraid, I hide - both physically and emotionally. What do you do when you're afraid? And what are the results? God is asking us to come out of hiding and step forward into faith. Join me as we explore how to do this.

Friend, how are you experiencing life? The way we experience our lives starts in how we think about everything we encounter, or come up against, or even participate in. AND, what we think a good life should look like. Join me as we think our way into another beautiful life. www.triciazody.com   *Get personal and spiritual development worksheets here that correlate with podcast episodes.

Today I want to talk to the broken, the lost, the one who feels like there's no hope. Friend, you can make it! Everyone’s journey on the other side of trauma looks a little differently. But rest assured, if you choose not to stay in a place of desperation and feeling lost, then you will most certainly make it! Join me as we walk this journey together. www.triciazody.com

To live a free life (free of past trauma, hurts, or experiences) we must fully understand and take ownership of the truth that our thoughts create results in our life. We get to choose what those thoughts are every single time. Join me as I share my journey to healing.  www.anotherbeautifullife.com

Most people have weight issues of some sort. Or at least, they think they do. I struggled with my weight growing up. But I've decided that when I get to heaven, I want God to put a lot of weight on me. In today's episode, I explain why.

Do you have questions about life? Do you sometimes wonder why things happen? Today, I confess, I still have a thousand questions surrounding my husband's death. And I'll share with you what conclusions I've come to...in faith.  www.anotherbeautifullife.com

You can have it all! Yes, all of the good things in life - an abundant life - is at your fingertips. It's up to you to open your mouth, your heart, and your hands wide to receive it. Will you?

What's love got to do with it? That’s what Tina Turner asks in her number one song that won three Grammys. She asks, “What’s love but a second-hand emotion?” That’s a really good question, I think. Is love an emotion, a feeling? Or is it something more? Something altogether different? That’s what we’re going to explore today.

Join me today as we explore how our journey through trials is like a sea stone found on the seashore. www.anotherbeautifullife.com

Have you ever wondered what your loved one who's in heaven is doing right now? What's really going on up there? Floating around on clouds and playing harps? Or it is something more than you've ever dreamed? Join me as we discover what might just be "another beautiful life."  www.anotherbeautifullife.com

Do you talk to yourself? What kinds of things does your “self” say?  Is it helpful? Today I’m going to share with you some of the things I tell myself when I’m in overwhelm. I hope this is a helpful tool to those of you who get stuck in pain and grief.

We're all looking for something. Our hearts crave it. We search and search to find the very thing that will satisfy the yearning inside. What is it that we long for? We’re not quite sure, but we know it’s there, and it’s driving us forward in search for that elusive thing that will fulfill our longings. Join me as I share how I found that very satisfaction I was looking for.

Friend, are you broken? Feeling shattered? Did you know that it’s here that you have the opportunity to know God’s nearness in a very unique way; to experience anew the One who created you and knows you best; to become more familiar with your real purpose in life; to live a life so full of rest and peace that nothing can shake you ever again? Do you know that you are blessed to be broken?

Friend, are you feeling broken and in the valley of life? Did you know that it’s here that you have the opportunity to know God’s nearness in a very unique way? Each valley offers an opportunity to experience anew the One who created you and knows you best; to become more familiar with your real purpose in life; to live a life so full of rest and peace that nothing can shake you ever again?

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Mark Cravens for his podcast - Hope Along The Journey. We talk about finding hope while walking a difficult journey - from a crisis of faith to saying "yes" to another beautiful life. Be sure to check out Hope Along The Journey on all the podcast platforms.

Have you ever felt like you have a target on your back? Like you just keep getting beat up by…whatever…and you can’t catch a break? I was there. It was real. And I was going down. Today I’m going to share with you a time when all hope had been lost and how I found a way to protect & defend myself from that very real destruction.

I'm privileged to share a recent interview with Pastor Stephen Mannion, Ryan Willert, Pastor Mike Wrigglesworth, and Bradley (whose last name is a national secret, I'm told). Such great guys with very insightful interview questions.   Please consider taking a listen to their podcast, as I feel you will find so many uplifting and encouraging stories in a time of doubt and uncertainty.    ...

"Wait" is a bad word. Just as bad as some of the other four letter words I was taught not to say as a young child. Today, I'll share with you my journey to understanding just what I was waiting for as I prayed for my husband's healing. And boy was I wrong! 

This is part 2 of Risk and Reward. It’s learning to let go of everything that has been your safety net before, throw caution to the winds and trust God completely for your provisions. And I mean completely. I'm going to share with you some crazy things that God has done to show up for my provisions!
