Hey Friend- Do you know the condition of your flock (aka your personal + biz bank account)?   If you’re like me, you remember the days when you waited for the monthly paper statement and then sat down and balanced your checkbook to make sure you knew exactly what was in your account.  And probably, you either paid for things with cash or a check, and had to drive to the bank to make...

Hey friend- Are you a REACTOR  or a PROACTOR?  (Yes, I made up that second word…but you know what I mean, right?)  A REACTOR is someone who reacts in the moment by making a decision that is usually more about survival in the short term…but a PROACTOR is someone who plans ahead how she will respond, taking into account her best interest in the long term.  Did you know PROCRASTIN...

Hey Friend- Feel like you’re always cleaning cuz there’s always something needing your attention: the pile of laundry, the sink full of dishes, the dust bunnies under the bookshelf?   Our dwellings (aka homes) require our time and attention…did you know that a recent study shows that women spend on average 21 hours a week doing housework? That’s like having a part time job on top of runn...

Hey Friend- Ever feel overwhelmed, frustrated and exhausted in your season of life?  You are not alone.  And guess what, you’re not the first woman in midlife to experience this either. My advice is to find someone a little further down the road that can help you discover not only HOW to get out of survival mode, but more importantly WHY to get out... so you don’t crash in the present &a...

Hey friend…how do you feel around 5 pm when whoever is under your roof asks, “What’s for dinner?” Are you able to give a CONFIDENT ANSWER because you know you have both the TIME + INGREDIENTS on hand to prepare it?   Or is it a little STRESS-INDUCING because to be honest, you hadn’t stopped to think about it yet and have NOTHING THAWED and LITTLE TIME? Growing up, every time a certain fr...

Hey Friend- When I asked you to look around your home on our last episode, what else did you notice besides those piles?   Perhaps a little (or a lot) of STUFF? Aka clutter Before we go any further, my guest today and I want you to know... you are NOT the only one & you are certainly NOT alone.   CLUTTER tends to ACCUMULATE...no matter how hard we try to keep our stuff in o...

Hey friend…are you listening to this episode at home? If not, no worries- you can do this simple exercise when you get home. But If you’re already there, I want you to stop and do a 360 to look around you. What piles do you see?  If you’re like most busy women in midlife I’m guessing you regularly see piles of PAPER- newspapers, magazines, books, catalogs, flyers, bulletins, mail, paperwork.....

Hey Friend- Be honest, what’s the first thing you do in the morning when you have a busy day ahead- get working, keep snoozing, spend time with Jesus? Truth be told, it’s often the first two. As believers we are called to steward our time by recognizing it is a gift from Him to build His Kingdom, so that should include spending time with Him first…but how often do we wear busy like a badge of hono...

Hey friend- Right now, go grab your phone…I know it’s on you or at least within arms’ reach so it will only take a second…right?  Now Go to settings > Screen Time and look at your daily average screen time. What number do you see?  If you’re average, your number will be around 3 hours 14 min (give or take).  Whether yours is far more or way less than that, what matters most is yo...

Hey Friend- Coming to you from my closet today....and for good reason. Do you have any idea how much time you spend in yours getting dressed each morning?  Do you even want to know?  There’s the time picking something out, trying it on, looking in the mirror, taking it off, trying on something else, looking in the mirror again, making more tweaks or resigning yourself to the fact that no...

Hey Friend- Now that we’re a few weeks into FALL do you find yourself saying there’s never enough time for all those things you said you were gonna do... because SOMEONE ELSE always seems to need you and SOMETHING ELSE always seems to come up? I hear you and feel you my friend.  When you leave where your time goes up to chance cuz you’re winging it or in the hands of others cuz you’re just re...

Hey friend- Would you say this is true... “Most busyness comes from our wild ongoing attempts to please others.”  I think you're agreeing...cuz when we’re trying to be all things to all people, that’s exhausting, and actually a big WASTE of TIME. BUT...what amazing peace we experience when we leave behind seeking the approval of others and seek to please an audience of one- Him! And when we f...

Hey Friend- Now that Labor Day weekend (the unofficial end of summer) is in the past, this FALL thing is for real. I’m all about bringing on the pumpkin spice lattes, the sweaters and flannels, the changing leaves…but for many women, fall also brings on a lot of busy.  “I need to be at that... I have to pick up that... I should take care of that... I can’t believe I forgot that! When will I h...

Hey friend, I see you over there- You’ve got one earbud in listening to this podcast while you multitask picking up the kids, cleaning the house or walking the dog. You clicked play cuz you’re kinda curious as to how in the world you could know you’re meant for more than just surviving the day with all that’s on your plate... let alone have permission to go after it with all the demands and distra...

Are you a RULE FOLLOWER?  Here’s the truth, whether you admit it or not, you actually are.  We all have a rule of life we follow, whether intentionally or unintentionally... and it’s that rule that shaped our past, shapes our present and will shape our future.    I know- for many of us, the word rule may bring up negative memories of strict parents, stern teachers, unsympatheti...

Hey Friend- Sometimes it’s a struggle for us as Christian women to say YES to ourselves…but by saying YES to others first, we often put OURSELF on the back burner.   You may not see or feel the effects right away, but over time they continue to pile up and before you know it, what you have not intentionally GIVEN attention to now DEMANDS it…and it always costs more.  But it doesn’t...

Hey Friend- I’m just gonna say it like it is…or at least how someone else said it  in something I read recently….  “Most BUSYNESS comes from our wild, ongoing attempts to PLEASE others."  Whether you’ve labeled yourself a PEOPLE-PLEASER or not, you have to admit, a lot of what we run around doing is because of the EXPECTATIONS we receive or perceive from those around us. Ever said (...

Hey Friend- just checking in…How are you feeling lately- Weary? Burdened? Burned out?   I see you…and feel you- cramming your life with all-the-things to keep up your relationships, work, finances, health, personal growth, household…and leaving space for the unexpected phone call, doctor visit, crisis, out of town guests… It’s easy to feel exhausted just thinking about what’s soon gonna be on...

Hey friend, we ARE friends right? Good. Cuz I wanna make sure you hear this in love…you know that “thing” you kept saying you’d get around to  this summer or that you’ll get back to this fall when you HAVE the time , when you GET the time , when you FIND the time … I hate to break it to ya- but it’s probably not gonna happen. Cuz the truth is, even if you’re sending kids back to school or sta...

Hey friend- how ya feeling when you think about the season that’s yet to come?  Often women find themselves in a state of WORRY over what is not yet (or may never be)...and over time that wrong thinking starts to affect every area of our lives- our faith walk, our relationships, our work/service, our wellness, our home…and especially our joy. But as Christian women who have put our faith in t...
