The Wherever You Go Podcast with Sam Bauer

Todays message is a simple one: What’s the best thing you can do in your work to glorify God? Do good work.

In Episode 31 Sam encourages her listeners to start using the gifts that God has given them so that they can move closer to their Devine purpose. Most of us are playing small and playing small just isn’t what God made us for.

In Episode 13; Goal Setting for High Achievers, we discussed goal setting. Today, almost 6 months later, it’s time for a goal check in! Where are we? Are we remembering our why? What has been working? What do we need to adjust? What has changed? I hope this practice is as energizing for you as it was for me!

This week I interviewed my kids to get some perspective from their views. I could not have been prepared for some of these answers! Also, the accuracy of some of these stories may be a bit off (as told my an 8 year old) so I encourage you to look them up! Enjoy this fun and lighthearted episode!

Last week we talked about self worth and the realization that we are chosen. But what next? Just because we are chosen doesn’t mean things will just magically happen for our success, we’ve got to take action to become who God chose us to be!

Self worth is a tricky topic, but I think I’ve got a way to help you remember exactly how valuable you are. Listen in as I talk about self worth and how God reminded me recently where self worth needs to come from and an idea of how to keep it top if mind.

Parents, ever feel like you’re being judged by other parents? Us too! Listen in to Episode 26 as my favorite guest and person, Rob Bauer, joins me to talk about some of our experiences in parenthood from Rob being a stay at home dad to me being a mompreneur…and how others have responded to some of our choices...and how we’ve had to learn to let it roll off our shoulders.   In episode 26, we want t...

In Episode 25, as her business approaches it's 3 year anniversary on May 1, Sam reflects on her first 3 years in business and shares some of the lessons she's learned so far at the beginning of her journey that will help her continue to grow her business as she continues to grow as a business owner, a mom, a wife and a servant of God. 

In Episode 24 Sam encourages her listeners to use their voice. We all have a story worth sharing, knowledge that others can learn from, a kind word to give. We all have a voice that God wants us to use, and even if we know that, it can be uncomfortable to get past our doubts and insecurities. In this episode, Sam shares some ways and reasons why we should step into that discomfort and use our voic...

In this episode Sam compares entrepreneurship as well as her faith journey to waiting on spring in Pittsburgh. We know spring is coming, but these last cold spells that come through sure can be discouraging if we chose to let the cold get us down!

In this episode Sam has special guest (and her all time favorite person) Rob Bauer on and they share how God has worked in their marriage and have some fun talking about parts of their journey together. This is the first in what they hope will be a series of podcasts that they will record on marriage, family and God.

Episode 21 is a fun conversation with my friend, fellow career loving mom and real estate super star, Kerri Kadyk. Kerri and I have had lots of conversations over the years about being a mom while running businesses and we thought it might be fun to share some of our highlights and well, lowlights? LOL Kerri is a partner in a high producing real estate brokerage, The Hutterer Stahl Team of Berkshi...

In Episode 20, Sam interviews Brittany Fahnstock, lover of Christ, wife, home school mom and owner of Britt’s Mama Made Treats. Brittany shared her journey and how God has pressed into her to start her business at a time that might seem unlikely possible to most (herself included)! Brittany is an example of what can happen when we say Yes to God and her story is inspiring. Follow Brittany on socia...

In Episode 19, Sam shares a recent experience that reminded her to rest in the comfort that we are exactly where God wants us in order to use us for His Devine plan. Sometimes we are so busy pursuing our next big thing that we forget to see that God wants to use us today to serve Him right where we are.

In episode 17 Sam talks about how God has been reminding her to trust in His timing, even in the small stuff. Ever have one of those weeks where nothing goes your way? Only to catch yourself out of whack, edgy and anxious? That was me last week. Here's what I think God wanted me to get out of it.

In this episode, Sam talks about entrepreneurship and why trying to short cut or force your way to success isn't the best recipe. We serve a God who is patient with US, we just need to enjoy the journey and learn and be moldable while working hard and He will provide the right people, resources and success we are longing for when WE are ready. Trying to push things to happen on your time can lead...

In Episode 15 Sam talks about success and why praying for the win doesn't always work. Committing our plans to the Lord is not the same as committing our success to the Lord. We can't just wish for something and pray for it to happen, we need to start with God, prayerfully move into action and then allow for God to reward us in His timing...not ours. It's not always easy, but it is well worth it. 

Episode 14 is for those of you who've given up. The left out. The misunderstood. The misfit. Those of you who haven’t dared to dream because you don’t think God could possibly have a plan for you…get ready, I’m about to break some news to you…He does. Episode 14 of the Wherever You Go podcast, God loves you too. Yes, even you. 

Episode 13 is all about goal setting, baby! One of my favorite things to do is set goals and create action plans to achieve them so in this episode I speak to how to set goals as well as how to set your plans to go get them! This podcast isn't for those who want to tip toe into the new year, it's for those serious about growth, results and achieving. God didn't make us to tip toe, he made us to RO...

As we look forward to 2022, it's important to do some reflecting on the prior year (or 2-3 in my case) on what we've learned, who we are becoming and make sure we are continuing to lean into God's plans for us. In episode 12 I share a little about what I've learned, what my journey has looked like and how 2021 was a year of self reflection and growth and how I started to really tap into who I am t...

In this episode, Sam digs a little deeper into self doubt and gives some tips and tricks for overcoming some of the lies that we believe. Sam makes some comparisons to some examples of shepherds who despite what the world thought of them, went on to do some pretty outstanding things when they decided to believe who God was calling them to be and follow their hearts.  

In episode 10 Sam talks with her friend Shannon Koch about self doubt, unbelief and the big one...imposter syndrome. Spoiler alert, all of those things are LIES! So, how do we recognize the lies and how do we overcome them so that we can move forward and life the life that God has planned for us?

Gratitude can change your perspective, and it can change your life! Showing gratitude both externally as well as to others is impactful and meaningful in so many ways. Joy shares with us the importance of taking action when you are pressed to share thanks with others and how that can make such a big difference in the lives of others and in turn improve your own life in many ways. Joy can be found...
