![Ep. 97 | Why The Spiritual Discipline of Waiting on God and Resting in Him is Necessary for Goal-Driven Women]()
October 19, 2021
Why is waiting so difficult? Can it actually benefit us to wait? As a goal-driven woman, the spiritual discipline of waiting is so, so hard! Is there a way to make it easier?
Do you feel it? The hurry? The hustle? The busyness of life? But what happens when you get stuck waiting on something, and you can’t just hustle through it? That was me this past year. After moving to Colorado, my husband lost his full-time job two weeks later, and we quickly began the waiting phase. And we kept waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
Sometimes I questioned where God was in all of this, but then I remembered just how He moved us where He did and all the provisions He had for us along the way. But it didn’t mean we didn’t have to wait.
What is it that we should do in the waiting to make things a bit easier on ourselves? Well, that’s what we’re diving into today, and I’m bringing marriage and family therapist Jessica Hayes back on the show to share with us just how we can incorporate a few disciplines into our waiting that will help us grow personally and spiritually.

![Ep. 96 | Life after Childhood Trauma - Resolving the Past to Move Forward in Personal Relationships]()
October 14, 2021
Hey friend, today’s topic is pretty heavy. We are talking about some childhood trauma in the form of abuse, and I want to prepare you for that in case you have kids in the room and want to wait to listen to this when no little ears are present. This is a tough subject, but I also feel like it’s important to talk about. Joric McLean went through the unimaginable not only with his mom, but also with his stepmom from a very young age. His story is powerful. It will make you angry.
It will make you cry, and it will make you feel all the emotions in between. We don’t go into detail about the trauma, but if you want to hear more about his specific struggle/victory story, I encourage you to pick up a copy of the Lemonade Stand 2 anthology.
He told me no question is off-limits today, so we’re going to dive deep into his struggles, the mental shifts he made, how he made the best of the cards he was dealt, and the biggest lessons he learned from his childhood experience. We also talk about how to help our men open up about any trauma they may have encountered so our relationships can thrive and they don’t have to feel like they have to bottle up the pain and can move forward from their past into a thriving future.
One of Joric’s missions is to encourage others to get help sooner rather than later so those old wounds of the past doing creep into adult relationships with spouses, partners, or kids. It’s important to resolve the past or at least come to grips with it so you don’t have to keep reliving it through current or future relationships.

![Ep. 93 | Letting Go of Toxic Relationships and Rising Again - It is Possible!]()
October 5, 2021
The story I’m sharing today is about a phoenix rising - Tina Krebs rose out of the ashes of her dark, toxic past and has flourished in a beautiful future. After getting up the courage to leave not just one, but two toxic relationships, she slowly picked up the pieces and put together a new life for her and her two children, one filled with renewal and hope and a new beginning.
This episode is not a light topic. We go pretty deep and heavy, and you may not want your children listening in on the topics we are covering. Tina has endured a very difficult past filled with lies, cheating, and abuse. It’s hard to tell the story without some of those details seeping in.
I hope her story encourages you to be brave and fight and stand up for what’s right. You never know when and if someone else will need you to stand by them.

![Ep. 91 | What Does Walking in Love and Justice Mean from a Biblical Standpoint?]()
September 28, 2021
Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
What do we need to remember? The Bible is our standard, and it has outlasted time. We don’t get to pick and choose what we want to be true. We don’t get to change who God says we are just because we don’t feel like ourselves today. The Bible is our standard, and as Christians, we see things through that lens, that’s what a Biblical worldview is, and that is why it’s important for us to be in the Word, praying, journaling, studying, growing. If we are not solid in the Word of God, we could fall for anything.
So how do we take a stand on God’s Word in love, walking in love without changing our standards? How do you walk in love and justice from a Biblical perspective? What does this look like? What boundaries do we need to set up for ourselves? How do we not get walked all over yet continue to show love to others? How do we show love to the unloving?
These are questions of our day, and today is an encouraging conversation because I’m bringing on marriage and family therapist Jessica Hayes to help us navigate how to walk in love and justice without giving up our moral or Biblical standards.

![Do I Need to Get Involved in My School Board - Ways to Have a Voice in the Community]()
September 15, 2021
Thad Riley, who just finished his term on a New Hampshire school board, is with me today talking about many of the issues he faced while serving his term (he’ll leave us with some encouragement). It is important for us to be a voice for our kids and the next generation.
After serving over a decade in retail management with tech companies, in July of 2015, Thad Riley became a stay-at-home dad. In 2017 he ran for and won a Seat on his town's school board in New Hampshire, and his term ended this past March. He also finished his term as the Chair of the Republicans in his town.
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR:
- Issues members of the school board have faced over the past few years and why elections for the school board matter
- How parents can get involved even if they don’t have the capacity to serve on the board (he actually breaks this down into how we can make it about a 3-hour commitment per year)
- Where to find the resources to know what is being talked about and voted on in the school board meetings
