Ep 124 - Take Back Your Time with Christy Wright

Natalie Hixson knows what it's like to lose her cool. When she first became a mom, destructive anger was her norm. I get that. I couldn’t believe how angry I felt as a young mom. I love the saying, “Marriage helps you realize how selfish you really are and motherhood makes you realize how angry you are.” It’s true. For many moms they are shocked at just how angry they get at their kids and it can be a shame-filled hidden secret. After all, who do you talk to about how you just yelled at your kids? Or how you gave them a bruise by squeezing their arm? Natalie gets that, and after overcoming the anger she was experiencing in motherhood she has turned around to help other mothers that are in a similar place. Grab Natalies free Trigger Tracker here!

Ep 123 - Overcoming Anger - with Natalie Hixson

Sometimes it feels like life just happens to us. But what if we could pay attention to our current rhythms and work with them? When we do that, and then add in the rhythms we want to see in our life, we start to live from a place of flow instead of frustration!

Ep 122 - What are Your Rhythms?

Life feels intense doesn’t it? It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and paralyzed by the moment we’re living in. But what if instead of being stuck in inaction we used the pressure to light a fire inside, stay fully focused on what God has called us to, and run the race that has been marked out for us. And check out my e-course Ready to Rise for 7 weeks to dig into who God has created you to be and begin to throw off the fears that are holding you back.

Ep 121 - It’s The End of The World As We Know It

Jesus said “But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.” John 16:7 Have you thought about that? It is good for us that Jesus left! Insert mind-blown emoji! Jeannie unpacks that and other ways that the Holy Spirit is essential to thriving in our lives in her latest book, Don’t Miss Out: Daring to Believe Life is Better With the Holy Spirit.

Ep 120 - The Holy Spirit with Jeannie Cunnion

Do you know what you’re passionate about? If you answered “no” you are not alone! To be honest I think for so many of us we are so busy doing all of the things we are “supposed” to do that some of those things that have been put deep inside of us get lost, snuffed out with “adult” responsibilities and even the disappointments that come our way. And sometimes, we can feel a little guilty or selfish for pursuing the things that bring us joy. But what if those things that light us up are God-given? And what if pursuing them aren’t in fact selfish but are for others? Amy McLaren knows first hand what it looks like to feel like “maybe there’s a little more out there for me.” She started small and spent a few weeks following a nudge in her heart and that nudge has turned into Village Impact, a non-profit that has built over 14 schools in Kenya. That doesn’t sound selfish at all. Listen in to our conversation and maybe it will give you your own “aha” moment towards your own passions and desires. Check out Amy’s book Passion to Purpose, for a deeper dive into discovering what your passions may be and how to boldly follow them despite your fears. And check out my e-course Ready to Rise for 7 weeks to dig into who God has created you to be and begin to throw off the fears that are holding you back.

Ep 119 - Follow your Passion with Amy McLearn

Ep 117 - Embracing Wonder with Ginger Stache

This was one of those conversations where we had to stop talking so we could press record and keep talking. Kay Wyma is such a lovely individual with such a big heart for God and for those around her. Unexpectedly Kay found herself with a bad attitude in an everyday life situation and God used that moment to invite her into a 30 Day journey of pursuing thankfulness, kindness and mercy. The result: Peace. And often peace feels like one of those elusive things, reserved for those people who don’t seem to experience frustration or anger. Those people who don’t experience loss or have misunderstandings. But what if peace is available to even those of us who do. Us regular humans that bump up against the pressures and stresses of life and other broken and hurting people? Kay invites us into a journey to pursue peace through her latest book, The Peace Project: A 30 Day Experiment Practicing Thankfulness, Kindness, and Mercy. And if you’re looking for deep rooted peace in your everyday life, check out my Tangled course to help you break free from all that you’re holding onto and all that is holding onto you.

Ep 115 - Helping our Anxious Kids with Sissy Goff

For some of us it is actually the fact that we are drowning in laundry and a to-do list a mile long that we aren’t able to spend time connecting with God. So I want to share practical tips as well as spiritual insights to help you connect with God and thrive in your life despite life’s challenging circumstances. I want to help you get unstuck and actually enjoy your life.
