    S2E4: A Christmas Blessing (& Some Permission to be In Process)

    Send us a text At one week before Christmas, come take some breaths of fresh air with me. This time is for YOU to enjoy, too! Let's go softly and let the joy, celebration, feasting, and thankfulness expand and spill over into these last days of the year. No need to go hard, exhaust, overextend, and come out on the other end depleted, resentful, or disassociated.  In this episode I discuss some thoughts about the 12 Days of Christmas (guess what? it's NOT the 12 days leading up to Christmas!), Epiphany, taking the glorious, Jesus-bought permission to grow, evolve, and be on a journey of change as individuals. THAT takes bravery! I also celebrate that this year, the Let's Talk Life podcast went from dreamy idea to a realized pursuit of creativity, connection, and community. THANK YOU for being here! ILYSM!

    S2E3: The Art of Meaningful Gift-Giving

    Send us a text Let's shift from pressure to purpose in holiday gifting. This episode is an invitation to take a breather from the frantic mind-chatter of gift-giving, and to become more present-minded and embodied in the process of showing our people how much we appreciate them. In gift-giving, we RECEIVE the gift of pausing, cultivating gratitude, and love-gushing the people God has put in our lives. After all, what's better than feeling like someone thought of you and wanted to give you some joy??

    S2E2: On Body Image, Motherhood, & the Great Wolf Lodge

    Send us a text (Trigger Warning: mentions eating disorders, body dysmorphia, abuse -- not suitable for children) In this episode I talk about a recent trip to Great Wolf Lodge, and take a little trip into body image, especially as a postpartum mom of 4. I discuss the common experience of women: that our worth gets wrapped up in our body's appearance. But what I know to be true in this very moment is that your body is worthy RIGHT NOW -- worthy of fun, kindness, honor, and love. Let's move through the next few weeks with softness, especially in a time of year in which there is a lot of noise about food, diets, calories, and size. I bless you with a little extra heaping side of grace for ourselves and others.

    Ep 11: To Those In A Waiting Season

    Send us a text This is a special one. It's a love letter from me, to anyone who is finding themselves in a season of waiting. Whether it's waiting for a spouse, a new job, a child, or a breakthrough of any kind, it can feel hard, lonely, and even devoid of God's voice. I share some of my own story of waiting -- unexplained infertility for 5 years -- along with the things I learned and the testimony of the miraculous breakthrough. Yes, I cry in this one! You aren't alone, and God hasn't left you behind. Come on in and get some encouragement and balm for your soul.
