    The One with our Unpopular Opinions... - with Team THRIVE

    This one might be...unpopular. But we're here for it, and we hope you will be, too! Erica, Sarah, and Taylor from Team THRIVE are behind the mic together to share their *unpopular* opinions, from Gilmore Girls to grammar, Beyonce to body positivity, barrel leg jeans to boxers-as-shorts (and every trend in between) - it's loaded with our hot takes and hotter defenses of the opinions we're taking to the grave...or at least, to the internet. ;)

    Create a Life you Actually LOVE - with Stephanie May Wilson

    Create a Life you Actually LOVE - with Stephanie May Wilson

    "You get to decide." Really, you do! And whether that thought feels instantly empowering or overwhelming, Stephanie May Wilson is here to help. As an author, speaker, TEDxTalker, and popular podcaster with over 8 million downloads, Stephanie is no stranger to the "Everything Era" - the decade-ish where most of our wildly huge, defining, important milestone decisions are often made. Today on THRIVE, she brings her best tips on creating a life you love for YOU - not for your family, your friends, or what you think you "should" have done by now. Erica and Steph also break down discerning "God's plan" for your life and where your power lies along the way (spoiler alert: you have more say so than you think you do!). The conversation is candid and oh so real, with relatable ways to approach your decision making in a way that will make sense for you and have you moving forward in faith and confidence for what's to come. “Life is too short to wear shoes that don’t fit - whether your feet, your style, or your life - especially when there are seven hundred gazillion other options to choose from. It’s not selfish to want to find shoes that fit - in fact, it’s silly not to.”

    The Pursuit of Meaning - with Dr. Lauren Gilbert

    The Pursuit of Meaning - with Dr. Lauren Gilbert

    Life, liberty, and the pursuit of...meaning? Believe it or not, people who pursue happiness are scientifically LESS happy (and more stressed and less healthy) than people who pursue something else entirely: meaning. But what does pursuing "meaning" actually MEAN? Dr. Lauren Gilbert breaks down the science today on THRIVE. We also talk about living "authentically" - and how showing up with your God-given gifts is just as important and authentic as showing up "relatably" with your shame rooms and junk drawers. Dr. Lauren loves looking at the intersections of science and faith, so today's conversation gives a good look at the both/and of living an authentic, meaningful life!

    Yes, Jesus Cares about your Mental Health - with Laura Smith

    Yes, Jesus Cares about your Mental Health - with Laura Smith

    We’re back with best-selling author, speaker, Bible teacher, and my friend Laura Smith, and we’re chatting all about her newest book: Holy Care for the Whole Self. It’s full of truth and encouragement connecting our mental AND spiritual health journeys, and it’s going to leave you feeling refreshed and breathing easier in your own earthly walk. But if you have not yet grabbed copy, we’ll wait - and give you some really solid advice and steadfast reminders in the meantime, especially great if you’ve ever found yourself struggling mentally and maybe shaming yourself spiritually. You are not broken. There’s nothing wrong with you. You don’t have to “pray away” your pain - it is okay, and right, to seek earthly AND heavenly help. Jesus CARES about your mental health - and Laura is here to break down the “both/and” of seeking healing.
