    The Promise That Became a Book: Eric Christianson on Love, Loss & Courage

    I almost didn't go out that evening. A spontaneous trip to Vintage Bookstore & Wine Bar in Austin introduced me to author Eric Christianson, and within minutes I knew his story was one I wanted to share. After hearing about his book, South Bend to Spring Valley, Eric generously gifted me a signed copy, and I asked if he'd join me on the podcast. A few weeks later, we sat down for one of the most meaningful conversations I've had this year. Eric shares the remarkable true story behind South Bend to Spring Valley—a book he never expected to write. After the passing of his wife, Joyce, he fulfilled a promise to finish the project she had begun: preserving the extraordinary friendship between the white David family and the Black Sims family, whose relationship began during the Civil Rights era. We talk about grief, purpose, courage, and why waiting until you feel "ready" often means you'll never begin. Whether you're a writer, entrepreneur, creative, or simply someone searching for your next step, Eric's story is a reminder that meaningful work often begins with keeping one promise and taking one small step forward. In this episode How a promise to his late wife became Eric's first published book The incredible true story of the David and Sims families' interracial friendship during the 1960s Why preserving forgotten stories matters How writing became a source of healing after profound loss Finding purpose again through meaningful work Why you shouldn't wait until you feel "ready" to pursue your passion The power of everyday courage and small acts that make a lasting difference Resources 📖 South Bend to Spring Valley: https://www.southbendtospringvalley.com 🎙️ Hustle, Budget & Glow 📚 Bookstagram: @shelbiesshelf 📸 Instagram: @hustlebudgetglow ✨ If this conversation inspired you, please like, subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs the reminder that it's never too late to begin.

    Who You Are vs. What You Do: A Conversation About Character & Growth

    Welcome back to Hustle, Budget & Glow 💛 In this episode, we’re having a real conversation about growth, self-awareness, and learning how to move through life with more intention. After a season that forced me to slow down, I’ve been reflecting on what it means to reset, rebuild, and stop believing that doing “more” will somehow protect us from life’s unexpected moments. We’re talking about: ✨ Why fall has always felt like a personal New Year’s reset for me ✨ Leaving survival mode behind and creating space to actually live ✨ My experience returning to church, finding community, and learning that people are not defined by labels — they’re defined by their actions ✨ Why professionalism is about more than appearances (yes, we’re talking about the viral interview coffee/water debate 😂) ✨ Networking, building genuine relationships, and creating community during career transitions ✨ Lessons from HYROX, competition, and why respect and integrity matter — even when nobody is watching ✨ The difference between who someone is and what someone chooses to do (identity vs. behavior) This episode is a reminder that growth isn’t about becoming a completely different person. It’s about becoming more intentional, more grounded, and more aligned with who you want to be. As seasons change, ask yourself :🍂 What am I leaving behind? 🍂 What am I making room for? 🍂 Who am I becoming? Thanks for hanging out with me. Grab your coffee, your walk, or your favorite cozy blanket and let’s chat. ☕✨ 💛 Stay Connected🎙️ Hustle, Budget & Glow 📸 Instagram: @hustlebudgetglow ⚠️ Disclaimer:I’m sharing my personal experiences, conversations, and perspectives around career, money, wellness, faith, and personal growth.
