It's so easy to look at our lives and see what we don't have or what's not going right but it takes maturity (and practice) to instead be thankful.  In today's episode, I share 5 reasons why being thankful is important.

January 4, 2022 my prayer was that God would help me to keep my eyes on Him. I am most content when I do that but when my eyes wander, I get super discouraged. Discouraged about where I'm not, what I haven't yet accomplished, what goals are still unreached, etc. I promise you, when you and I learn to keep our eyes on Him-CONSISTENTLY- we will be much better off. 

Ugh. Who  likes confrontation? I know I don't. However, when done right and for the right reasons, confrontation is actually a good thing. In this episode, I discuss what confrontation is, why we sometimes need to do it, how we do it, when to do it and to whom we do it with. Hopefully by the end of the episode, you'll hate it a little less (fingers crossed)!

It's that time of year. The time when everybody is running around like a chicken with their head cut off. The time when everyone is hurried. The time when everyone is stressed (probably more than any other time of year). It's the holidays! Yep, the holidays. And while this should be a joyous and exciting time, many are drowning in anxiety. If this is your situation, this episode is for you!  In my conversation with author and pastor Adam Mabry, we talk about why rest is such a wonderful gift from our great God. Honestly, the rest we talk about is really for our lives all year long, but I think it will be especially good as we enter this holiday season.  So, my friend, take a listen in...https://www.adammabry.org/The Art of Rest: Faith to Hit Pause in a World That Never Stops

Something kind of funny happened with one of our daughters- something that children do all the time. But, it's just not children doing this- we adults do it too. Take a listen in and see what it is we do that sometimes we don't even realize!

In this episode, I had the priviledge of speaking with author Jill Savage (https://jillsavage.org/) and she gave such a beautiful perspective of motherhood and the process of letting go. She gave some great insight on some of the many emotions we may experience as we groom and grow our children to go out into the world. I hope that you enjoy this episode as much as I did. 

Friends! I got bit by the traveling bug! Like, for real. And while there's nothing wrong with enjoying ourselves in this life, I want to challenge you (as I had to remind and challenge myself) that life can't be one big vacation. We are still on a mission and the world can't afford for us to be so consumed with pleasures that we forget that we are on a mission!Take a listen in.....

Angel is a prime example of the resourcefulness and resilience of women! When she was looking for ways to supplement money for her family, she began flipping items and dumpster diving. She is now a YouTube sensation with over 150,000 followers and a new author! Her story is so inspiring and I can't wait for you to hear it.YouTube- MomtheebayerInstagram- @momtheebayer101Twitter- momtheebayer101LinkedIn- Momtheebayer101Finding Your Treasure (book)- https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Treasure-Familys-Mission-Everything_and/dp/198215229X/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2BBQCYY9AWUNK&dchild=1&keywords=angel+williams+finding+your+treasure&qid=1627530779&sprefix=angel+williams+findin%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-2

In this episode, I talk about a secret weapon we rarely use- SILENCE! I know how bad you want to give a piece of your mind to that person, but maybe you shouldn't. We can all learn a lesson from David. He constantly cried out to God to be his defender and guess what? You can ask God to be your defender too!

Ugh! Jealousy. It's something we've all dealt with yet no one wants to talk about it. Well, today I tackle this hard topic with my guest Floydise Paquette. From the moment Floydise started speaking, I thought "this lady is MY SISTER." Her transparency, authenticity, and humility made me feel like we've known each other for years.  She gracefully peels back the layers of this oh so ugly sin and gets to the root of the issue. She even shared some great tips on how to help our children deal with jealousy. I know you will be encouraged by this one. Enjoy!https://floydisepaquette.com/
