We don't always get to choose what happens in life but we DO get to choose how we respond. When you get bad news from the doctor how do you handle it? Most people go one of two ways. In this short episode, I'm sharing how you can take what the Bible teaches, and what science has proven, to shift your future reality from the one the doctor predicts to the one you want to see. They might say it's impossible but you get to decide whether or not that's true. Join me for community, connection, support, and monthly prayer nights on zoom in my FREE Facebook group.

Caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue are real. As someone who cares for a person with a chronic, autoimmune, or other condition, you might be experiencing these without realizing it. In this episode, I'm sharing with you five signs it's time for you to take a break. Taking care of YOU is a gift to the people you love. You come back to them (and your role as caregiver) more refreshed, energetic, and hopeful for the future. If you need a place to take a break, and a strong community of women to surround you, pray for you, and encourage you as you do, then you're invited to join me for the REVIVE retreat - a weekend event curated especially for women who love and care for someone with a chronic, autoimmune, or other condition. You can get all the details and register here.

Today I want to talk to you about the authority of your voice. It truly has the power to shift your reality! The Bible is so clear about this. Listen in as I share a biblical example of what it looks like to hear God's voice, respond with an open heart and mind, and then obey the seemingly ridiculous instructions He gives. This scripturally sound concept changed my life. I believe it can change yours. I went from being a 26-year-old with a debilitating, incurable condition and little hope for my future to a 43-year-old with a radical story of healing and transformation. I have ridiculous levels of hope for my future and I want to lend some of that hope to you! You're invited to join me in my FREE Facebook group - The Conqueror Community.
