Living Lighter

Living Lighter

Do you ever get so caught up in your day-to-day life that you forget to take care of YOU? We all do. Our cup ends up empty and we can’t figure out just how to fill ourselves back up again. We are ok with saying "It's just motherhood", accept the #hotmessmomculture, and resolve to suffer through. But friend, here is the thing…we are NOT called to live this way. God wants us to live lighter and enjoy life to the fullest. I’m Teresa Swanstrom Anderson, mom of six, author, speaker, Bible teacher, and entrepreneur who wants to show overwhelmed moms there is a better way. You CAN slow down, lean into living lighter, and take care of yourself: home, body, mind, and soul. So, let's do just that together!

    69: Unlock Abundance, Meaning, and Connection with Cayla Craft

    Today Cayla and I talk about her first book, What Do You Really Want? – 7 Questions That Can Unlock the Answers to a Life Full of Abundance, Meaning, and Connection, and I have a feeling it will be one of the most listened-to episodes yet because there’s just so much meat in our conversation!! Working as an ER nurse, she realized she was unconsciously believing a lot of unhelpful narratives about herself that were influencing her everyday life. Being willing to do the hard work and get honest with herself, Cayla ended up quitting her 9-5 and pouring all she’s learned into women who also want to break free from these limitations. Over the years as a Jesus-loving mentor and entrepreneur coach, she has created seven questions as a framework to make an impact not only in your business…but also in your life.  You will LOVE how real Cayla is, as she vulnerably shares SO much wisdom, while giving Jesus all the glory. In this episode, you’ll hear:  Why it’s important to ask the RIGHT questions (and how we know what they are!).  What to do (and how to respond internally) when people criticize that “You’ve Changed” – but you know the change is good, healthy, and exciting! How defining what you truly want and taking the next best step is key to achieving your goals. "When you play really big with your life, it gives God a chance to show up and show off."

    65: Drawing Prayer Circles

    As you likely know, our family is going through a double-family crisis, which has massively impacted my prayer life. Because I’m so focused on prayer during this mega-hard season, I wanted to vulnerably talk about some things I’m learning, things I’m still struggling with, and things I’d love to share to hopefully help strengthen your prayer life, too. ♥️ As Mark Batterson says in his book, Draw the Circle: The 40 Day Prayer Challenge: “If it seems like God isn’t moving in our lives, maybe it’s because we’re not moving.”  Here’s a little piece of advice: work like it depends on you, and pray like it depends on God… because dreams (and prayers) don’t work unless you do (I explain this in the episode). 🙏 In this episode, you’ll hear: 💫 What to do when darkness seems to engulf. 💫  Why Joshua 3:8 is so significant (the story when God tells the priests to step into the rushing river BEFORE they had any idea it would be parted). 💫  Why praying and then simply hoping it’s answered might not be what God wants.
