Hey, Var!

So many women have spent years trying to walk the path other people have told them to go, but at no other time than now is God calling us to break old systems, step into new ones, and bring Kingdom on Earth to the Marketplace!  On this Episode we share 3 Foundational Branding Tools that every Christian Entrepreneur should know to build their Kingdom Business. If you think you're not an Entrepreneu...

Every woman has SOMETHING God has placed in her heart to do, but it's not always clear as to how to start it or keep it going. One of the dreams in our hearts is to help you figure out the paths you can take and give you what you need for the journey. If God called you TO it, then He will equip you to DO it. And when you need help, that's what Friends are for. For More Info, Email Us @ theflawsoff...

We're playing Spin the Wheel! No topic was off limits (though maybe a few should've been). Marriage, children, religion, makeups, breakups, and more all got a few minutes of off-the-cuff musings. We probably should never do this, which makes us want to do it more. We hope you enjoy this (mostly) light-hearted conversation that was a little more tame than our kitchen table ones. Until we plop a mic...

It's easy to cross our own boundary lines, but the question is: How can we learn to work our way back into those safe areas once again?  On this Friendship Friday Podcast, Kiersten Banks will share how the practice of journaling can show us: -  Where our boundaries have been crossed -  Where our limits have been reached -  How to Reevaluate and step back to see what we need to...

We're continuing our Boundaries conversation from last week (Episode 45) with our good friend Kiersten Banks—a delightful human being who is wonderfully transparent and straight-up wise beyond her years. She has so much to offer us in the ways and practices of self-care, a passion she carries because of her own road to health and healing.  Kiersten says, "Somewhere along my journey, I learned that...

Do you have healthy boundaries OR could some of those boundaries actually be defenses? No shame here... we have all built them to keep us protected in some way. But the truth is, our defenses keep us from the connection and intimacy we crave while healthy boundaries move us toward them. This is an important distinction to make if we want our friendships and all of our relationships to thrive!

I (Stacey) need to come a little clean here... I always thought boundaries were my thing. But have you ever heard the saying, "Fences make good neighbors"? Well, my fences were getting a little banged up and whacked down, so when Tabatha suggested we talk about boundaries on the podcast this week, I kind of freaked out a little (lot), went to a couple of therapists, wrecked my car in a parking lot...

Happy Friendship Friday. On this Episode, Tabatha takes us deeper into the topic of Gossip and explains What it is, What is does, and What we need to do about it.

"Listen girl, don't repeat this, but did I tell you what Karen told me the other day? I'm ONLY telling you this because we should pray for her." The reasons we find to gossip are pretty funny... well, funny until we learn how God feels about it and what effect it has on us when we do it. The Bible says gossip kindles God's wrath—against us, not the other person!—and leads to barrenness. We don't k...

On this special Friendship Friday Coaching Session, we'll give you a practical tool called The Wheel of Emotions that will help you not only NOT jump to conclusions about what someone else must be thinking or feeling, but also how to put language to your own thoughts and feelings. Basically, this will make you a champion communicator. Everyone will think you're amazing, and your friendships may ju...

Have you ever had a misunderstanding in a friendship that caused a tiff, a rift, a blow up or a meltdown? No? Ok, us either, but let's talk about it anyway for fun's sake, shall we?  Misunderstanding probably gets us all everyday, multiple times a day! No shame here, friend; it happens to the best of us. But, instead of playing the blame game over how she was so wrong and we were so right, ho...

Today on the Podcast, Tabatha shares her take on how we are just one Spirit-Filled Friend away from tapping into our creative potential  when we are courageous enough to allow them to encourage, elevate, and pull our creativity to the surface. Tune in every "Friendship Friday", as we share a thought, tip, or highlight, from our Podcast Topic of the Week. Don't forget to SHARE and LEAVE A REVIEW, t...

Studies show that the Creativity factor is the number one recognized attribute in successful leaders; that creativity is a revenue generator; and that every person alive (that means you!) is born creative. Basically, we have to learn how NOT to be creative, and we’re sure doing a bang-up job at that (thank you western culture, technology, and the anxiety of hustle)!    So, I bet you can...

This week we’re moving from cheerleading to championing! Now listen, there’s not one thing wrong with having or being a cheerleader to someone. We all need and love our cheerleaders! But every week we try to pay attention to where God is leading us, not just give commentary on where we’re currently parked. And that means this week we feel God moving us from bench warming to getting inside the game...

“Everybody wants change. But nobody wants to change.”   Change is happening all around us. We can’t deny it. We can’t stop it. What we CAN do is engage with the kind of change God is calling us to make, and usually that involves changing something in ourselves first. Sound scary? It can be! Unless you have a Friend. Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE with YOUR Friends! Are We Friends Yet?!...

Have you ever asked yourself why you are here on the earth and how do you accomplish what you’ve been put here to DO?!   We never do this. Except every other day. We’re not entirely sure we have the answers, obviously , but we think walking fully in our Callings might have something to do with who we bind ourselves to in life. These people (if they’re the right people!) help us achieve what w...

To move from casual connection to committed affection requires trust, obedience and, above all, a giving and receiving of love, as someone else's hopes, dreams, and destiny fill your arms with Life. People are begging for a place to truly be themselves: accepted, loved, and not left behind. A place to truly belong, to stretch and grow with honest and loving accountability. But these places can see...

As usual this lesson came to us the hard way, but it...

Maybe we should stop focusing on what we can’t do, and start focusing on what God has called us to do! And sometimes those things He calls us to are blazing trails so that others can move forward in the paths we leave behind.    Are you one of those called to Blaze a Trail?! If so, this week on the Podcast we take a look at 3 Trailblazers in the Bible who show us that Intimacy with...

Do you have a friend who you pray with? We mean really, really pray, like nothing is off limits, no time limits, anything goes in the presence of God?  It takes a special friend, for sure, to go after prayer like that, and we have a name for her: Havar, meaning “one who helps you carry the weight of your life.”   Who doesn’t want a friend like that?!   We’ve learned that prayer with...

Names have a much greater significance then most of us understand or give them credit for. When we understand that our names are prophetic declarations, then we understand more of who we are and what we were created to do.   Learn how your name:    -Acts as a compass to help you map out the plans and purposes for your life;   - Thwarts the attacks of the enemy on your life by empowering you live o...
