Both/And
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER Happy Thanksgiving friends! Can I be honest? I didn't want to make this podcast...gratitude was feeling more like a forced smile. But I knew that was the very reason I needed make it. I’m not naive to hard things. My passport has the stamps to prove it, just like yours probably does. I know the weight of hardship and all consuming hurt. Holidays can bring out the tender places and resurface our stories with twisted endings. Perhaps this year …
But If Not
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER So many of us have stories with unresolved endings. The desires of our heart have gone unfulfilled to this point. No baby to hold, broken relationships, unhealed sickness, loneliness, lack of financial provision…it’s just not the hand of life we wanted dealt to us. We can get stuck in the 'whys'....Why is my story different than I thought it would be? Why is this happening to me? Why won’t others move towards me? It's challenged me to …
Nobody Understands
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER I don’t fit in. I’m always overlooked. I feel so alone. No one sees me. I wish I had someone I could talk to that gets it. I don’t belong anywhere. Nobody understands me. I feel out of sorts, invisible even. Every part of my story that’s led me here now points to my not belonging here. I wonder if it’s as obvious to me as it is to everyone else? I try to bury the thought but the emptiness has got my head twisted. It follows me around like a …
‘Everyone’s Watching’
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER I’m so behind. Everyone else has it figured out. What will other people think? How many likes and reactions will this post get? Everyone expects me to have it all figured out. What does everyone else think I should do? I fell victim to an invisible belief system years ago. The lie that ‘everyone’s watching’ speaks to the disease of people pleasing. We don’t just want people to watch, we want them to approve. We want applause and affirmation. …
‘I Am Being Punished For My Past’
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER I am being punished for my past. You’ve got a busted story? Me too. Things didn’t turn out the way you thought they would? Me too. Survived a broken heart? Me too. Made some serious mistakes in your past? Me too. Hurt those you love? Me too. Wish you could go back and play it out differently? Me too. Consuming, isn’t it? To be caught on a loop that plays your mistakes over and over, frozen in a former world that hurts every time you touch it. …
I Am Not Enough
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER I am not enough. You’ve heard it too? The unrelenting voice that plays on loop, preys on your weaknesses and refuses to retreat? Mine speaks loudest at night when my day is done and the highlight real plays back. “I wasn’t a good enough mom. I wasn’t a good enough friend. I didn’t pursue my purpose enough. I didn't make a big enough difference today. I didn’t love enough. I’m not fit enough. I didn’t eat good enough. I wasn’t …
Life Happens the Way You Think It Will
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER Does your mindset need a reset? An unchecked thought life can be an incredibly destructive weapon. A lie is so sneaky. It starts small and grows slowly over time. We get used to hearing and believe these lies that they become comfortable, normal almost. We form mindsets around them and start to claim these lies as truth when really the lie is keeping us from our actual truth, God's truth. What lies have …
REST Series: Finding Rest
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER Can I be honest? Rest is a major struggle for me. In fact I'd like to consider myself the anti-expert of rest. Nothing about rest is easy, natural or even comfortable for me. I have believed the lie that rest is earned not gifted for a long, long time. What's the root of that? Why do I feel a constant need to preform and seek approval? What places and spaces am I finding my worth in that keeps me from rest? Join me by tuning into this episode …
