Seasons with Purpose

We've finally made it to summer and the long days that come with it.  On today's episode we talk about how summer really is the beginning of abundance and harvest and a really important time to focus on creativity and passion projects.  It's also a great time to look at what's working well this year - especially with seeds you planted this Spring - and making sure that those se...

I'm so thrilled to share this awesome conversation with you today!  My friend and former colleague Geoff Curtis joins us on the pod to talk about his new book about something he calls "professional identity purgatory."  His life story and so much of what he talks about in his book is so needed in the career conversation today and it's taken too long to really express it the way...

Today on the pod, we're talking about the realities of the job market with the Founder and CEO of JBR Executive Recruitment, Julie Biber!  If you're in the job market, or considering taking a leap into a new career season, this is an honest conversation about the hiring process today and realities of seasons of transitions - especially in the corporate world and business community.  Juli...

After a longer winter than we've seen in recent years, this week marks the arrival of the vernal equinox and the Spring season!  Flowers start popping up, birds start chirping and the days get a little bit longer.  In this episode we talk about things to focus on in the Spring weather season, what God calls us to in the midst of the Spring and how hopeful it can be if we trust in His plan for...

Why do we equate hard with bad?  What if we shifted our thinking and saw hard things as opportunities for growth?  No matter what season you're in right now, I know it's a season of growth because that's the beautiful thing about how God works.  The hardest things are often how he teaches us the biggest lessons but I think we're missing them sometimes because we think hard is b...

Today we're talking ALL things preschool with some of the best - Jen Lofquist and Jess Esquivel from Kids Under Construction Preschool in Sterling, VA.   https://kucpreschool.org/ Almost all parents know the impact a healthy preschool environment can have on kids' confidence, love for learning and emotional intelligence and this season is just so special in SO many ways.  We discuss thei...

Today we're talking about the gift that keeps on giving: The Joy List - a powerful tool that highlights the little things that spark happiness in our lives, regardless of what’s happening around us.  It's SO easy to make and one of my favorite things to reference and use as I plan out my time.  I share a few things on my list and some of the benefits it brings to your daily life.   What’...

Today on the pod, my friend Alicia Mott-Comitto shares her season of parenting through two NICU babies, the youngest of which has Klinefelter Syndrome.  She’s honest about the grief that goes along with the expectations we set as parents, how trauma drives an out-of-body experience and how to get through it when you’re in the thick of it.  She shares the honest realities of being a special needs p...

As we approach the Winter Solstice this Sunday, we're diving deep into what to expect in winter and how it shows up in our daily lives over the next few months. We share three questions to review what served you best in Spring, Summer and Fall, what you need to let go of and how to find light in the darkness this holiday season.  You can download the Winter Purpose Page here and take it along...

Today we're diving again into seasons of parenting, this time in the adoption world with my friend and neighbor Sara Freeman.  We cover the truths of the adoption process, what they prayed for through all of the ups and downs of the process and the joy it's brought to the parenting triad - her and her husband, the biological parents and the adopted child.   Sara and her husband Shawn are...

As I reflect on what I'm most thankful and grateful for this year, I wanted to share this story of a tough scoliosis diagnosis that my oldest received earlier this year and what we all learned in it.  I'll cover the inconsistency in the industry right now, how we navigated them by continuing to ask questions and where we are nine months later!   My prayer is that this helps anyone who ha...

My friend Ben Boyd has just begun a season of retirement that looks nothing like he thought it would, but is challenging him in ways he never thought possible.  After losing his Mom in late 2023 and battling through a profound season of grief, he gained a whole new perspective on the question of "What’s Next?"  With a lot of time, listening and grace, he's changed that question to &...

Today we will dig into Anxiety and ADHD with Kellie Boyle, mental health specialist at ReProcess Therapy.  We’ll discuss why there’s been such an increase in anxiety in the last ten years, what she really wants you to know about anxiety and ADHD and how EMDR therapy can work in healing trauma experiences.  You can find Kellie at @reprocess_therapy, www.reprocesstherapy.com and kellie@reprocessther...

Sharing a great idea today to document the harvest of this year - the simplicity of a Gratitude Journal.  It doesn't have to be fancy, just consistent and easy to reference on the toughest days.  This is the time to document the beauty of this Fall season - store up ALL of the joy and goodness so you can use it and reference it in the midst of winter. Once you listen, get a head start on holi...

Join me as we unpack what I call the weather Seasons - Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.  What they mean, how we go into each one with intentionality and how they can align to other seasons in our lives.  Because it's October, we spend some additional time on Fall or Autumn as the leaves start to change and we see the harvest begin in my part of the world. Go check out our FIRST partner of the...
