In this episode, we are giving you the details of our personal story, as well as encouragement to anyone who is thinking about adoption.

Okay, so this may be one of the weirdest podcasts of all time. I'm an encourager and sometimes the Lord uses weird analogies to help me encourage other women. Even though it might be strange, at the end of the day, God is God…so today we are going to talk about spiders. Specifically, he used spiders as a metaphor about transition that I want to share with you now. Some of you may be feeling unseen...

If you have any relationship issues in your life, you are going to LO...

If you've been following me recently on social media you'll know I've been speaking out about hypocrisy in our nation. As an introvert, I hate confrontation. I'm not brave, but I have a heart toward obedience. The truth is, we aren't called to speak on everything. But we are called to speak on the things God has put on our heart whether it's in our communities, businesses, or social media. This po...

Let's talk about Instagram strategy! What I have found is that many people are using the wrong Instagram strategies! This hurts my heart because you're putting time and effort into something that you may not see a return on. So in this episode I'm going over six strategies I've seen recently that are NOT going to grow your account and then telling you what to do to fix them. The truth is, when I f...

I have a word from the Lord for someone today. I was out on a "wog"—that's a walk-jog for those of you who don't know. Lol! I was praying and heard the Lord say "winter is coming." That's from Game of Thrones, which I haven't watched by the way.  Normally I love fall but this year the idea of cold weather and more lockdowns and the craziness of the world has me feeling anxious. Psychological safet...

I have been working to dig myself out of some deep feelings and I want to share some of what I am doing. During these times of social distancing, we are all out of whack. Those who need lots of interaction with people are missing it and those who need alone time have possibly had too much peopling with their family during the quarantine. Today I am sharing my perspective and some tips on how we ar...

Raise your hand high if you know you are a perfectionist!! This podcast was made for you! Being a perfectionist can be one of the hardest traits to learn to navigate. You are constantly battling yourself with the idea that whatever you make or create has to be 100%, absolute, without a doubt perfect. I'm here to tell you, friends, you are wasting so much precious time in an endless battle. Instead...

Lately, it is all about the coping strategies for me. And the Lord game me a word for some of you who I know need some help when it comes to coping. So one thing I do, and this has served me when for many years, is trick my brain into thinking these are not as bad as they may be. I play little games with my mind in an effort to soften hard circumstances. I may fumble these words a bit, but I know...

August should be filled with last-minute summer vacays and back-to-school shopping and orientations. Instead, the world is still at unease, and so many are still left with many unknowns. In the business world, we are trying to make pivots to best serve our customers while continuing to provide for our family. Deciding how to make that pivot can be extremely difficult. You've worked so hard for wha...

This is a message of reflection and encouragement for believers. The online shaming and cancel culture in social media is rampant and sooooo not okay. Adults and kids both are being sucked in. As someone who has the Holy Spirit to guide them, you do not have to engage in every fight you are invited to. Use discernment to when deciding who to follow, what to read, and when to comment. And when you...

I learn a lot from the questions I get asked in my DM's, which leads to this podcast. I get asked quite often about being sent products in the hopes that I will review and share them online. With today's online world, influence marketing can be huge for a company. In fact, one of the best ways for you to grow your business is to get your product in the hands of someone who has a larger platform th...

In the last several months, I have been doing something that is a little embarrassing. You're going to have to listen to find out what it is, but basically I have been coping with feeling like I don't have control by controlling areas that don't actually have impact or help. I want to talk today about looking at areas where we don't have control and work on healthy ways to manage those situations....

Today I sat down with Bob Goff, author of Dream Big, to talk about life. Bob discusses finding your authentic intent and running with it. For him, that meant being truly available to others. He even put his cell phone number in the back of his book. Bob really dives deep into helps us change our way of thinking to be more present, even if it's a struggle. Every single person is difficult, but we c...

I can feel joy and excitement over our adoption of Ari and feel some grief. You don't have to be stuck in a single emotion that is stealing your peace and crushing your spirit. What will give you joy today?...

Learning to keep peace within ourselves is soooo important right now, friends! We need to give each other, but even more importantly ourselves, some serious grace. For some that is very hard. We expect our situation to be a certain way, but 2020 had a few other plans. It's tough...this life right now is tough! There's lots going on besides corona that has our hearts and brains on overdrive. So sur...

We probably all have some area where we are the first in our family to do something new. But listen, the rewards are soooo worth it. The generational change and blessings will be felt for longer than you can imagine. So do...

Hey Friends! For today's podcast, I wanted to shake it up a little bit by sharing a chapter from my book, Fear Is Not the Boss of You . In this chapter, I really hit home that people are ALWAYS watching you. We all learn so much by watching how people handle things, react to situations, and use their gifts and talents. God has blessed each of us with talents.  Some are doctors, wood makers, teache...

I am weary. There, I said it. Now, for the most part, I am totally okay, and I know that eventually, everything will be okay. I am just weary. The last several months are taking a toll. I am internally conflicted about many things. I am sad by circumstances. So, I want to share 3 things that have helped me in the last week as I walk through this weary season. I hope they bring you some peace and c...

I want to take a few minutes today to help you reframe your shame. First, you need to know there is a difference e between shame and guilt. Shame is used by the enemy to keep you stuck...to keep you from moving forward. Many of you are feeling all kinds of shame for things they did or didn't do during quarantine. I hope you can take that shame and reframe it in a way that gives it purpose and allo...

In today's podcast, we are talking with Paula Faris about how she left her 2 amazing dream jobs to be obedient to God.  She had to learn it's ok to love what you do, but how to not let that define you. What we do shouldn't define who we are. We are worth so much more than what we do, our value comes from more than our vocation. Paula is here to tell us all about finding our calling, how it gives u...

If you have been around for a hot minute, you know I am big on pivoting when God tells you to.
