The Purpose Show

Dr. Heather Rhodes is a holistic pharmacist who works specifically with women to help them learn about and then treat hormone imbalances. I have PCOS, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and it is difficult to navigate. When I started sharing on social media that I was dealing with hormone issues, so many of you reached out asking for me to share what I was learning. I think this episode will benefit so ma...

I've got my hubby, Brian, here with me today and we are talking about liking your spouse! Not just loving each other, but genuinely liking each other and liking spending time together. We get asked about this a lot, so we're pulling back the curtain a little bit on our relationship, our friendship. And we hope this inspires you to start liking your spouse and working and investing in your relation...

I'm talking with Kendra Hennessy, founder of Mother Like A Boss, about the practices she cannot run her business without. We recorded this for IGTV but I just had to share it with you all as a bonus podcast episode!

Something I'm asked often is how to love where you are now instead of constantly waiting for the next season to be happy. I believe that we absolutely can feel content with our lives right now even if we're waiting for something to happen that just hasn't happened yet.  Even in that discomfort, in that stretching, we still have so much control over how we choose to think about what is or isn't hap...

I asked you guys what you wanted to hear in an episode and the overwhelming response surrounded friendships—how to have them, how to keep them, how to cultivate authentic ones. And so, I'm highlighting four of my own friendships and how I've loved my friends in different seasons of life. Real authentic friendship is a choice. It's a hard choice, but it's so, so rewarding. Let's jump in! Everything...

The way we talk about things in our lives, the way we speak about the people in our lives has an effect on our reality. So, I really want to dive deeply into that and really get specific with self-fulfilling prophecies that people speak out all the time, and the power in those words and what they do to our families.  I've talked about the power of our words multiple times on the show but I have th...

One thing that comes up a lot in my business and my community is the question of downsizing. A lot of times it's the obvious next step after decluttering, but it can be a really hard step to take for a lot of reasons.  Patrice Washington is a best-selling author, speaker, and host of the podcast, Redefining Wealth. She and her husband decluttered their 7,000 square foot home in CA and moved into a...

I'm a very ambitious person. I'm really goal-oriented and I'm really good at looking ahead and casting vision for what I want to do and what I want our life and my business to look like. But I can't say that this energy doesn't ever fail me, because it does. There are times when I just lose my drive and I have to get it back.  If you've ever felt like you've lost your drive and you don't know why...

I'm so excited to share with you this conversation I had with my friend, Emily Ley! She is an author and the founder of Simplified—a brand of planners and organizational tools for busy women, which I obviously love. Her new book, When Less Becomes More, just came out recently and I'm so excited for her to share how she came to write this book because the story is so raw and so vulnerable. Let's ju...

I feel like a misconception that's made about me is that I want a simple, small life. But that is 100% the opposite of what I want. I want to live a fricking big, full, ambitious, extravagant life. And sometimes I hear people say, "Well, I don't want to be a minimalist because I don't want to have nothing, and be nothing." And I'm right there with you! That's not what I want either. At all. So, if...

Parkinson's Law states that the time you give yourself to complete a task is how long you will take to complete a task. However long you decide you're going to spend on a project is how long you're going to spend on that project. This thought, this way of living can really change everything for us. It is so, so empowering because it means we are in control of so much more than we give ourselves cr...

It's the day after Christmas a.k.a the best day of the year to declutter. Your kids are super busy with their new toys and way more willing to let go of their old ones. So, quick! Get going, mama! I'm re-releasing this pep talk to encourage and guide you in your post-Christmas decluttering efforts. You ready to face the new year feeling fresh? Then let's do this! Everything I talk about in this ep...

I've been thinking a lot lately about how we're in the thick of the holiday season and a lot of people are just really happy that the holidays are almost over. The holidays are just a time that they dread because they have to spend time with their families and they are difficult to deal with.  I want you to enjoy the season with your family. I want you to feel confident and happy this time of year...

I think it's important to ask yourself hard questions, to reevaluate life and how you do things and see if you're really where you want to be and if you're really happy with the way you're doing things. And today I want to help you reevaluate the space you live in—your home.  How we feel in our homes, or how we spend our time in our homes is a choice that we make. Even if we make it unintentionall...

Something I get asked about often is Sunday Night Prep or the Sunday Night Reset. It's something that Brian and I started years ago and I've talked about it before on my blog. I believe it is such an important and life-changing practice. It's essentially a way to look ahead at the week and be responsive, not reactive. Proverbs 29:18 says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." If you don't...

I get asked so many questions about decluttering—which is what I'm most known for. Lately, there have been a lot of questions about people getting stuck in their decluttering efforts. So, I hosted live Q&A workshop online and answered a bunch of these questions live! I couldn't answer every single one but I answered the ones that are the most common. Decluttering is doable for everyone. A minimali...

I love doing business coaching. I do it really exclusively on the side. It's not a main part of my business. I'm very focused on motherhood, minimalism and my courses. But I have learned so much from turning my blog into a multiple seven figure business in a very short amount of time. And I think there's something to be said for that.  Recently a woman reached out to me on Instagram and wanted to...

I've got Kendra Hennessy with me today and we're talking about self-care. I know, I know. Self-care has become such a trendy thing. There are a lot of products out there that are based on self-care. And it can feel like this really over-talked about and super annoying thing. But before you click away, I don't think Kendra and I are going to talk about anything that you have heard a million times b...

The world we live in right now is a result of what we believe and what we have inside of us. We each as human beings have a huge responsibility to bring change. But white people have a huge responsibility to end racism. And we need to get the heck up and take action.  And I get it. It's hard to talk about race, racism and white privilege. It gets messy and awkward and there's fear involved. But, w...

Feminism has kind of been a dirty word in our society. I know a lot of us have been misinformed or hurt by this word or some of the ideology behind this word, but I have learned so much over the past few years about feminism and about God's heart and purpose for women. And I have wanted to talk about this for many months now, but it's such a big and careful conversation to have. So, I asked my fri...

This episode is the start of a new segment called "Kinda Super Helpful" with my very good friend, Kendra Hennessy of Mother Like a Boss. We're having a conversation, and it's really laid back and fun, but we also talk about some serious stuff. There is so much gold in this episode. We're chatting about judging others, being empowered to make choices that are right for you, traditional gender roles...

What I'm sharing with you in this episode is an exercise that I've been practicing lately and it's been helping me find clarity in what things I'm doing in my life that are not aligning with who I want to be, with who I'm working to become. I really believe in the power of always learning and growing because I want to be a better version of myself. I want to be increasing, getting closer to God in...

This episode is going to be more serious. Recently as I was sitting still in meditation, I had a realization that was so powerful. It was almost in the form of a vision. If you sometimes worry about others' expectations of you, or even high expectations you set for yourself, this could be really helpful for you. I want to share it because I believe that it can set someone else free, like it did fo...

Today I'm talking with Jessica Turner, author of Stretched Too Thin: How Working Moms Can Lose The Guilt, Work Smarter & Thrive. This book impacted me in such a deep way. It's really practical and helped me feel like I'm not alone.  We're going to talk about mom guilt of all kinds, so don't click away from this episode if you don't work because this will still set you free and really help you. Eve...

I absolutely cannot wait for you to listen to this incredible, powerful conversation with Ashley Abercrombie. Ashley is a beautiful, amazing woman, and the author of the book, Rise Of the Truth Teller: Own your story, tell it like it is, and live with holy gumption. Ashley's story is powerful, and is also really heavy. You'll hear a lot of it in the podcast episode, but I would not recommend this...
