    Episode 31: Sarah Steele and An Ocean Without

    I just loved my conversation with Sarah! We talked about her story of healing and freedom from the chains of boundary-less people pleasing, as she learned her identity as a beloved child of God. We even get a little poetry reading as she reads selections from her book, An Ocean Without: Learning to Embrace Boundaries Sarah's Bio: Sarah Steele is a spoken word performer with a knack for turning emotions into performances that make you laugh, cry, or question your life choices. Her poetry memoir, An Ocean Without, became an Amazon #1 Top New Release, proving she can turn complex ideas into relatable experiences—and, occasionally, into impulse buys. Sarah has written for many publications and serves as an editor for The Way Back to Ourselves. When she’s not writing or performing, she can be found wielding her teacher’s hat over students of all ages—including her four spirited redheads, who ensure her life in Michigan is anything but boring.

    Episode 25: Emily Thomas from Struggle Well School

    Today, I am talking with Emily Thomas of the Struggle Well School podcast (formerly known as Mom Struggling Well). Emily shares her story of escaping abuse and finding out that not only did God rescue her, but he wanted to restore and use her life to bless others. Her story is pretty incredible, and I think her podcast is great too! You can find all of Emily's website, including links to her podcast and social media here.
