    EP 20: She Laughs at the Days to Come with Sarah Brooks

    Today’s guest is Sarah Brooks. She’s HILARIOUS. And carries humor into all aspects of life, including raising her three boys (that she had all within a 4-year span - WUT?) She blogs about their crazy lives here. We talk about how she became a public speaker overnight, the prank she played on her 4-year-old to make him think he grew a tattoo. We talk about social media and how to discern what’s really meaningful in life. We talk about loving on women in the sex industry… We bounce all around, laugh a lot and talk about some of life’s most meaningful moments. This describes Sarah to me: “Strength and dignity are her clothing,    and she laughs at the days to come.She opens her mouth with wisdom,    and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” (Prov 31:25-26)

    EP 19: Permission to Grieve with Jennifer Gerhardt

    Today’s guest is my dear friend Jennifer Gerhardt. She’s a wife, mom of two girls, author, speaker, Storytelling Minister at her church and ex flag football quarterback (stud). Jennifer just released her fifth book, A Grief Received: What to Do When Loss Leaves You Empty Handed, shortly after releasing one of MY FAV BOOKS OF ALL TIME this past November - Swallowed Up: A story about how my brother died. And I didn’t. Y’all. This is a woman who is well-acquainted with grief, but who refuses to let death extinguish life. She also happened to be there for me through my journey of losing my sweet mama, so we talk a little bit about that too. We talk chat about marriage, parenting, the enneagram… I really hope all of you - men, women, young and old - will listen to this conversation with Jennifer and take heart :-)

    EP 18: Life is For the Living with Karen Hill

    Today’s guest is Karen Hill. Karen and I are related, but it’s actually the first conversation we’ve ever had! And you get to listen in on it :-) She’s an author of 30 children’s books, mom, grandmom and cancer survivor. She is also the executive editor and executive assistant to author/pastor Max Lucado, who may or may not make a guest appearance on the episode ;-) Karen shares about losing her father, mother, brother and a sister and how God can use our grief and suffering. We talk about questions we have for God and how doubt is a part of faith. We also talk about Sabbath rest, mentorship, parenting and much more. Karen is a woman of wisdom who trusts God in the midst of chaos and searches for him and his purposes in all the “random” circumstances of life. I’m so inspired by her attitude toward life; she knows that as long as she has life in her body, God has plans for her. So, come join me as I learn about Karen and glean wisdom from her story.

    EP 17: Grief Even After A Happy Ending with Leslie Poe

    Leslie is a mom of three boys, wife to a cancer survivor and an educator both at Oklahoma Baptist University and to her home-schooled kiddos. We talk a lot about early marriage, but even more about 3.5 years ago when her husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer.  She shares about grief and depression even after getting a “happy ending.” Though she celebrates her husband being cancer-free, there are still things that were lost in the “fire.,” and so we spend a good deal of time fleshing out post-suffering grief. She also shares some wisdom that older-Leslie would tell younger-Leslie, particularly as it relates to parenting.

    EP 16: Not Forgotten with Natalie Yurrita

    This hilarious, wisdom-bomb-dropping, unassuming, STRONG FREAKING WOMAN talks us through her life today in such a candid and personal way, you will laugh and cry and laugh all over again. When Natalie was just 14 years old, her parents were in a serious motorcycle accident. She lost her dad and, though her mom is still alive, her mental and physical state isn't the same. Natalie takes us through years of the grief process, feelings of abandonment, and some of the moments she's allowed God to "Father" her orphan-heart.  She also talks about years of singleness while all her friends were getting married and having babies. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride... Welp, Natalie "finally" got hitched to her Latin Lover about a year and a half ago and they're expecting their first little bundle any day now.
