50: The Decluttering Episode
In this episode, we look under the surface to understand why your spaces collect clutter. I give you practical tools from my experience helping people declutter and organize their homes as well as help you identify 4 core fears that get triggered when considering letting go of an item. The 4 Questions I encourage people to ask themselves when decluttering: 1. Do I use this item.2. Would I look for this if I lost it? (If you forgot you had it that's a good indicator the answer is no, haha)3. If I saw this in the store today, would I buy it again? (at full price?)4. Is keeping this item helping me accomplish my goal for this space? (peaceful, calm, functional, easy to find things, cleared for used, etc.) ***LINKS*** Learn your organizing type: https://clutterbug.me/what-clutterbug-are-you-testBrilliant advice for those who have always considered themselves messy:https://www.aslobcomesclean.com/

44: Special Christmas Episode- My Family Tradition of Reading from Luke
In this episode, I share a meaningful Christmas tradition as my gift to you. I'm reading the story of Jesus' birth from the Book of Luke the way my grandfather did each Christmas before my family sat down for our Christmas dinner. Let the magnitude of these words soak in. This is the story of the birth of not only THE Savior but YOUR Savior. The One who came to bring your peace, your wholeness, your rescue, your joy, and your freedom. John 3:16 tells us, "God so loved the world that He GAVE..." and He is our greatest gift. ******* Luke 1:26-56 and Luke 2:1-20 ******* Scripture read from the Amplified (Classic) Version of the Bible copyright 1954, 1958, 1962, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation.

42: Good Grief
Grief, simply put, is acknowledging the loss of someone or something that mattered. So why do we make grief so complicated? Why to we run from it, refuse it, self-medicate it, shame ourselves out of it, or sit in it forever and never move past it? Well, I believe it's because we don't know how, or with Who, to process it in a healthy way. Listen in for a perspective shift on grief. You may just learn that grief can be Holy Ground.
