Bigger, Bolder, Braver

Dr. Kathrine McAleese

Bigger Vision | Bolder Faith | Braver Action A podcast at the intersection of culture, faith and entrepreneurship. It doesn't matter how 'successful' you've already been, so much of what you are applauded for can leave you pretty hollow, and it's too easy to chase after dreams that culture tells you you could or should have, instead of checking in with what lights you up and who you were created to be. That's why this podcast is short, practical and to-the-point because hollow 'success' is no success. Bigger, Bolder, Braver is the podcast which questions the unquestioned 'truths' of how you work and what success looks like for you, according to your deepest held and most sacred values, to craft a life that is richer and more satisfying than the 'norms', 'shoulds', and other noise of society. As you listen, you'll see the toxic narratives in the current culture for what they are, and you'll be inspired to fearlessly carve your own path to live an abundant, satisfying life in all your glory, at a God-designed pace.

    Creative Retirement

    Listen in as I speak with inspirational new author Nell Dorée Townsend about her transition from a 20 year career in dog training, creatively continuing to share her knowledge but in a completely different way!   About Nell: Not one to keep doing the same thing over and over, Nell's life experiences have been varied. She started out as an Air Force officer and then took on the job of mom and teacher schooling her two boys for the duration (best decision ever). From there she continued with her teaching but with dogs and their people. Now, over twenty years later, she decided to teach via a story. Over the years she shared her life with Millie (Border Collie mix), Duchess (St. Bernard), Blondie (German Shepherd), Major, (Border Collie/Tervuren mix), Boris (Doberman/Lab mix), Jessy (Doberman), Fi (Doberman) and Hobie (Doberman). Her current canine companions are Mae (Doberman) and Eva (German Pinscher). She currently lives in NW Florida with her husband, Mae and Eva. To keep up with new offerings go to nelldoreetownsend.com   Nell's first book, Clara's Wish, is now available on Amazon in paperback and on Kindle. You can buy it here: Clara's Wish   About Clara's Wish: New beginnings sound exciting unless you're an orphan. Fourteen-year-old Clara Forbes is in a new home, new school and new state. And as the 'new girl' in a small town, she is definitely the outsider. She has no friends, and feels like she's invisible to the world outside her home where she lives with her grandparents. Growing up Clara was never allowed to have any animals but when she learns that her dad's best friend was a dog, she goes in search of her own for a companion. Taking Baxter in isn't all smooth sailing as she has no experience and his own challenging past brings numerous struggles. Searching for help she finds a trainer only to be given bad advice. As a result she nearly loses her new best friend. She gave him a second chance at life when she rescued him, and nearly botched it, but he didn't give up on her. Together they work hard to reach a place of trust and cooperation only to find themselves in a life and death situation. Will their bond and training be enough?     Note: links should be assumed to be affiliate links which benefit me at no extra cost to you. Thank you for supporting me in using them.

    A Different Paradigm

    47 - A Different Paradigm The whole way you're set up to work in this world right now sets you up for burnout. The paradigm you're operating in benefits from your inability to rest, your ceaseless productivity and is not built with your long term health nor well-being in mind. Over the past few years, as a Christian in business, I've been looking at whether my business actually is any different because of my faith, or whether it's perpetuating the same patterns and norms of the rest of the world. I got fed up looking at myself and others and not seeing anything that actually required God to show up, let alone get the glory, so I've been on something of a quest for a different way of living that actually involves living richly in all areas, not just the old dolla dolla bills. This episode is a little amuse bouche to introduce the contrast between the paradigm we've currently got and what our good Lord actually intended our pace and perspective on work and life to look like. Hint: they're VERY different. Do hit subscribe because there's plenty more where this came from.   RESOURCES: In this episode I reference my book, Enough., which you can get here:  Enough.   I also reference The Message translation of the Bible which you can get here: The Message Bible   *Note: The above links are affiliate links which benefit me at no extra cost to you.
