Spinning Plates Podcast

Hi, I'm back, baby! God is productive in our pause and rest. I hadn't planned to be away from the podcast for so long, but He knew there was work to be done and I needed to be there for the work. The beautiful thing is that I can tell you there is a renewed fire and fuel for all of you who listen to this podcast. Let's show up together! In this episode we talk all about the marathon (Heb 12:1) of...

Creating space is not an easy task for some of us. I'm praying in this meditation that I help us do just that. Let's create some space for Him to be seen and felt in our lives today.

I love making new friends! Jennifer was a delight to chat with. She dropped so many nuggets of wisdom. Enjoy! Jennifer Bosma is a wife of 34 years, a mom to three grown daughters, and a grandma to her three precious granddaughters. She loves Jesus and wants to share all she can with young moms about Him. He is the secret to her family’s success hands-down, and it’s her passion to teach this throug...

Meditation time. Let's let go of our fears and let God take the reigns.

I love a good God story! This was such a sweet episode celebrating just that. God has brought two women together to take them on an adventure for such a time as this. I hope you enjoy this delightful conversation and real-life talk about leaning into God's leading, trusting Him to show you the way, and letting go of unknowns to shine for Him. Elise is a dancer, singer/songwriter, and photograp...

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” - Ex 14:14 He is capable. He is strong. He is bigger than our fears. He is all-knowing. He is our defender. He cannot lose the battle. He already stands victorious. So that thing you're feeling lost in or that battle you feel you need to fight, I encourage you in this meditation to let Him fight for you. You need only to be still....

As soon as God gave me the idea to do this series, I wished this influencer were here for me to interview him in person. Roland Classen left a mark on this world and in the lives of so many of us. He always pointed us to Jesus and did it with grace, conviction, humor and gentleness of spirit. I am forever a different person for having the privilege of knowing and being taught by him and I know I&#...

It felt like we needed a little JOY. So enJOY this meditation. 🩵

We got my mom back on the pod! So often you hear me quote her and today you get to hear the live version of her love and wisdom. She's been such a huge influence in my life and the biggest inspiration for me in how to live authentic and imperfect (especially as a parent). She shows me the process of growing and learning and she is a constant source of grace and love for us. We talk about anxiety,...

Another moment to breathe and reset. This one we focus on finding our strength in Him and not in our own ability. He is capable. He is strong. He is bigger than anything thrown our way. "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and est...

I feel like this has been a long time coming! When God gave me the idea to do a series on people who have molded me, and I lean on for wisdom and speaking Truth, I knew I needed to have a chat with my sweet friend. Debbi Hawney is a lover of Jesus, wife to Barry, and mother of two boys and bonus daughters (in law). She is also a proud "Mimi" to her grandchildren. Debbi has worked in mini...

Hi, this one is SUPER fast and hopefully effective for you. I was having a rough day when I recorded and thought "well, this is real life" so I decided to record my live process when I'm overwhelmed. Sometimes it just takes a minute. Enjoy!

Every once in a while, y'all will tell me when there's someone out here in this space that I need to be friends with. It always brings me joy when it's someone I'm so aligned with like today's guest. I think it's safe to say she is my people and, if you're listening to the pod or following me, she's definitely your people, too. Taneshia Yerby is not only an influenc...

Spinning Plates meditates and you're welcome. I am loving doing these again. This one is for the busy person who can't sit still, but feeling like they need to get off the merry-go-round. Anyone feel that way?! Enjoy.

I LOVED this discussion. We are blessed to have Steve Croyle as our worship director at church. He is truly someone who influences me in my walk with the Lord. I love hearing his thoughts and musings on God's character and this episode is not short on either. I knew it would be a great discussion and I was right! Steve is a learner of Jesus Christ, husband to Andrea, father to Elijah and Elise...

Another meditation for you. Meditating on His Grace and love. You are only to receive. Enjoy!

I love that we finally got Naudia on the pod! She is a constant source of inspiration and joy in my life. Naudia Bosch is a high school teacher who strives to positively influence and add value to the lives of her students, family, and all she encounters. She not only teachers her students on leadership and personal growth, but also serves her Grit and Grace community partnering with them to form...

Did you know that God gave us breath and we can use it as a tool to help us? It's true! Feeling anxious? Breathe Feeling exhausted? Breathe Feeling overwhelmed? Breathe In today's meditation, we dig into our breath and spend some time connecting mind/body/soul.

Meet Pastor Brian Hebert, a beacon of light in our community and a profound influencer in my life. Brian's wisdom and guidance have touched countless lives, including mine. His steadfast faith, unwavering commitment to God's word, and Christ-centered teaching point others to Jesus. Brian's love for diverse cultures and flavors led him to run a food blog focused on Houston's interna...

Ever let your thoughts get the best of you? Or maybe run on their own? Today we will spend some time pushing the reset button and capturing our thoughts. It's not just about capturing though, it's about reflecting on what is good, pure, true (Phil 4:8). Enjoy!

Friends, this is one near and dear to my heart and soul. If you know my grams, you know how special she is. She has been a massive influence in my life and those who know her. A couple years back, I got to steal grams at a women's retreat and interview her. Little did I know that down the road I'd be able to plug it into this special series. I could think of no better person to kick off the interv...

Spinning Plates Meditates is baaaaaaaaack! I needed this as much as anyone else. Reminding yourself that amidst the hustle and bustle of our busy lives, Jesus is waiting for you. He's waiting for you to rest in Him. He's waiting for you to slow down. He's waiting for you to breathe in His presence and breathe out His grace. Enjoy this meditation. I know you'll love it.

This has been a labor of love and I'm so happy to see it out in the world. God gave me a little idea a few months back and I heard him loud and clear. Let's do a series on people who have been influences on me and others. I wasn't sure who would be in the series, but as it's taken form, it's been incredibly sweet to be a part of. He has been at work here and I know it's for...

This one is my little pep talk for those of you feeling "stuck". I'm here to be that outside voice reminding you... YOU... CAN... CHANGE. It may not feel like it everyday. It may not look like it everyday. You may not even want to everyday. But it's happening if you're putting in the work. Lean in, friend. It's worth it.

This was such a beautiful conversation. I love that my take-a-way was to pause and ask people more questions. Getting to know Laycee's story reminded me that everyone has a story. Laycee's is one of resilience and hope. Laycee Gwyther is a highly experienced Salon Suite Owner, Cosmetologist, and Certified Master Coach. With more than 15 years of experience in salon operations and retail sa...
