Episode 125 - Here Is Your Permission Slip

3/23/23 Yesterday at 5:15 p.m. I put on my pajamas and called it a day. The day before was the day I was supposed to post my weekly podcast. I’ve been posting on Wednesdays since October of 2020. But I didn’t. I missed my deadline on Tuesday night and didn’t think twice about it. By the way, for those of you who've reached out to me to see if somehow you've just missed getting your podcast download, thank you. Because Tuesday I drove my son, daughter in love, and new grandbab

Episode 124 - The Kintsugi Artisan

3/15/23 So, what fun for me to have my youngest son give you a welcome in Japanese. Especially for my Japanese listeners, or those fluent Japanese, as they’re the only ones who knew what he was saying. Which was, thank you for listening and hoping you are blessed by it. As many of you know, my son, daughter-in-love and new granddaughter as missionaries in Japan. What I’ve come to realize is that most people don’t understand why Japan – a first world country – would need missi

Episode 123 - Re-Write The Code

3/8/23 Hey, before we jump in, I wanted to let you know that I’ve put together a podcast road map, so to speak, where I’ve clumped different podcast episodes together based on topic. So if you were looking for episodes that have a focus on anger or faith or suffering, I’ve grouped those together so you could easily identify them and go straight to those for that specific content. Of course, some episodes will be cross-overs into another topic, but I’ve made it into a checklis

Episode 122 - Grief Is Not A Gremlin

3/1/23 Before we jump in, I have created something really helpful that will help you personally work through the things I’m going to talk about today. I call it a guide and I make one to go along with each episode. The goal is to give you something to help you explore, heal, and walk in new freedom. I know not everyone can work with me one-on-one, but this is something I believe is so powerful that you can get healing at home on your own time. The link to the get the free gui

Episode 121 - Origin > Belief > Identity

2/22/23 I put something on Social Media recently and I got so many messages and comments about it. AND interestingly, this is the same thing that keeps coming up with each one of my clients. Even my pastor talked about it this past Sunday. So, I had something else planned for the podcast for today, but I really feel like I need to talk about this. Origin, Belief, Identity. We don’t tend to think much about our origin, right? But it is the foundation to which all the other are

Episode 120 - Commit To Love

2/15/23 Happy Valentine’s day, friend. Okay, yesterday was Valentine’s day – the day to celebrate love. But let me take this opportunity to tell you that God loves you deeply just as you are today. And so do I. Love is a topic I talk a lot on in one capacity or another with many people in all areas of my life, including my adult children, and especially on a daily basis, with my coaching clients. Why? Because humans were made for love. God made us that way. We crave it from t

Episode 119 - When Life Doesn't Go As Planned

2/8/23 Life doesn’t always go like we planned, does it? At least, not like we think it should. It’s funny, I look back at my young, dreamer self and wonder why I made so many plans for my future. Mapped them out according to the stages of my life. As if I was so sure everything would just fall into place exactly as I planned. Exactly as I envisioned. A fairytale. But we find out that life is not like that, is it? I talk to so many women as a Life Coach that are struggling wit

Episode 118 - Abundant Life Saboteur: Striving

2/1/23 This is the third in a series of the Abundant-life Saboteurs. And before I jump into the third saboteur, I want to tell you about something that happened to me not long ago. I had some time on my hands one day, so I thought I’d trim all the trees in our yard. So I got out my ladder and a long saw thing and pruning shears. I trimmed the low hanging limbs from all the oak trees in the front yard. And let me stop here and tell you, my late husband loved to dig holes and

Episode 117 - Abundant Life Saboteur: Giving Away Agency

1/25/23 So let’s continue to identify those things that are keeping us from living an abundant life. There are three things that sabotage our lives. Last week we identified saboteur number one: Living false perceptions & lie-based assumptions. When we’re able to identify the things that are sabotaging our abundant life and put effort towards making changes to eradicate them from our lives, we’re able to walk in the fullness of life Jesus intends. We’re free to walk in our God

Episode 116 - Abundant Life Saboteur: Lies

1/18/23 What is a Saboteur? Someone or something that sabotages. “Sabotage” is a deliberate action aimed at weakening an effort through subversion, obstruction, disruption, or destruction. I want to talk about three things that you may be doing that obstructs, disrupts, or destroys your efforts to live the abundant life. So what is abundant life anyway? And how do I know if I have it? Or not. Jesus said in John 10:10 “I am come that they might have life, and that they might h

Episode 115 - Quitter's Day

1/11/23 Did you know this Friday, January 13th, is Quitter’s Day? What does that say about us as people when a day for quitting has been established? It’s been determined by a research company that after the second full week of making New Year’s resolutions, people are done. No more motivation. They suppose the reason is because people tend to be over-ambitious with their resolutions, especially when it comes to exercise, eating heathy, and weight loss. Let me say it again, i

Episode 114 - 8,395 And Counting...Down

1/4/23 Happy New Year to you, my friend. And welcome to episode number 114. It’s a new year. And with every new year comes an opportunity to recalibrate ourselves or reground ourselves to our convictions and what we believe, to our desires, and to what we want to create in the world that leaves a legacy footprint. Or, we have a chance to just roll into January with the status quo. But that’s not what we usually do, right? We make New Years’ resolutions. Which, by the way I hi

Episode 113 - Post-Christmas Blues

12/28/22 Christmas is and should be a joyous time to celebrate the birth of our King and Messiah, Jesus Christ. He is the reason for the season, after all. But because of the way our western world has created such hype for holidays, we’ve learned to create traditions and expectations around them. They do come with nostalgia and excitement and anticipation. But they can also bring up past trauma, feelings of loneliness and loss, and emotions surrounding relationship conflict.

Episode 112 - Joy: Better Than Happy Revisited

12/21/22 It’s almost Christmas, my friends, and I pray you are surrounded by so much joy this season! Joy is better than happy. And that’s what we’re going to talk about. But if you’ve been listening in for a while, you know that “Joy: Better Than Happy” is the title of Episode number 63 that I recorded the week of Christmas last year. And here’s the deal - exactly what I covered last year is exactly what I felt prompted to talk about again this year. Hence, Joy: Better Than

Episode 111 - The Power Of 'Pause'

12/14/22 Can I start by asking you a question, friend? How often do you feel like you are out of control of your emotions? How often do you feel upset, irritated or annoyed with someone or something? Or feel emotions such as sadness, anger, fear or shame come up that end up ruining the next hour or the day, or maybe even the whole week? All day, every day, we have all kinds of emotions that we experience. God has beautifully created us in such a way that we have the capacity

Episode 110 - Pull The Weeds

12/7/22 This might sound weird, but I love pulling weeds. I found it very cathartic after my husband died. There’s something about it. I don’t know. But it’s very satisfying. It’s also metaphoric for life. Like I was pulling out the old, unwanted, unuseful stuff in my life and in my mind to make room for new growth, new life. It seemed fitting to spend hours, days, in my yard and flower beds pulling weeds. I still like it. It’s still somehow satisfying. I moved to a new hous

Episode 109 - How To...Lose Weight

11/30/22 This year, I had several of my kiddos with me this Thanksgiving. What a blessing it was. But, when they’re here, I tend to indulge more than I usually would. And, I don’t know about you, but I love Thanksgiving food! My Dad had a recipe for cornbread dressing that is so rich and delicious. My kids request it every year, even if we aren’t having other traditional Thanksgiving foods. It’s that good. Of course, it’s good on Thanksgiving day, but it’s one of those things

Episode 108 - How To...Keep Your Peace

11/23/22 Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S. and it’ll be a time where the people you love gather together to reflect on our abundant blessings and to give thanks to our God who supplies so graciously. And it can be one of the most stressful times of the year. Why? Well, did I mention that a bunch of people were going to be there? And you’re one of those people, too. That’s why I thought it would be very appropriate and timely to talk about how to keep your peace…at any
