    50. Building a Business, and a Marriage: Courage, Connection, and Midlife Reinvention (Pt. 2 of 2)

    Haley Taylor and her husband built an international art business in a garage. Along the way, she had to relearn what actually makes her valuable. In Part 2, Haley shares marriage and business boundaries, why saying no is an act of love, ditching the need for external validation, and remembering what she loves. Plus rapid fire questions! Meet Haley Taylor: Wife, mother of four, and entrepreneur who runs the international art-easel business behind her husband Brian's invention. Coaches beginning riders on her local youth mountain bike team and raises backyard sheep, ducks, and bees. (Missed Part 1? Start there for Haley's teenage mental health crisis and the solo trip to Hong Kong that changed everything.) Takeaways: • A business built on talent still needs structure — and that structure can become your own career • Setting "business meeting" boundaries protects both the business and the marriage • Starting with almost nothing ($700, an 800-square-foot house) can be the foundation of a thriving family business • Saying no when you could say yes is an act of deliberate love, not deprivation • External validation — looks, skill, achievement — is not what creates real connection • An empty-nest season can feel like losing your identity until you remember what you actually love • Cutting back on sugar and being deliberate with your body can shift your energy at any age • Connection with your kids means getting curious about what they love, not directing what they do Chapters: 00:28 High Expectations and Changing Your Path With Love 05:19 Building an Art Business With Your Husband 09:54 Balancing Affluence and Teaching Values 14:10 Your Job Is To Connect With People 21:58 Connecting With Your Kid's Passions 26:17 Rapid Fire Questions 32:18 Exploring Beliefs: Spirits and Ghosts Resources found here: What 16-Year-Old Haley Taylor Learned About Courage From Getting Stranded in an Airport Alone If you loved this episode, try: 2.

    49. The Courage to Fall Apart: Eating Disorders, Dropping Out, and Finding Herself (Pt. 1 of 2)

    What happens when a teenager who's never been allowed to say "I'm scared" gets put on a plane alone to Hong Kong? Haley Taylor opens up about a high-achieving childhood, a teenage eating disorder, and dropping out of high school — and the solo international trip that taught her she could trust herself. A raw conversation about courage, mental health, and redefining success. Meet Haley Taylor: Wife, mother of four, and entrepreneur who runs the international art-easel business behind her husband Brian's invention. Haley coaches beginning riders on her local youth mountain bike team and raises backyard sheep, ducks, and bees. A teenage mental health crisis and a solo trip to Hong Kong at sixteen shaped her lifelong definition of courage. Takeaways: • Being Sendy isn't about being hardcore — it's being brave enough to try • A fixed mindset of "you're smart so you must succeed" makes it unsafe to attempt anything new • Tough exteriors often hide fear instead of processing it — and that's not sustainable • Expressing fear doesn't make you weak; it's part of doing hard things anyway • A mental health crisis can become the turning point that redefines your sense of worth • Letting your child have their own breakdown — instead of rescuing them — builds real resilience • Stepping in to "fix" a child's problem can unintentionally validate their fear instead of their capability • Redefining success means it's okay to try something and not be the best at it Chapters 00:00 Exposure Therapy 03:30 Growing Up Cautious in a High-Achieving Home 05:45 The High Dive: Learning to Trust Fear Instead of Hiding It 10:53 A Teenage Eating Disorder, Depression, and Dropping Out of Schoo 13:08 Sent Alone to Hong Kong: A Mother's Leap of Faith 19:50 Showing Up Mediocre: The Courage to Try Anyway Resources found here: What 16-Year-Old Haley Taylor Learned About Courage From Getting Stranded in an Airport Alone If you loved this episode, try: 2.

    Bonus 22. All Shall Be Well: The Radical Courage of Julian of Norwich

    What do you do when the world is literally falling apart around you? Julian of Norwich was born into 14th-century England, survived the Black Plague, twice, possibly lost her family, and then voluntarily sealed herself into a single room for thirty years as an anchoress to the chapel Julian in Norwich, England. Her theology was considered radical for her time. Her words have survived wars, revolutions, and the burning of libraries to reach us today. In this Sendy Spotlight, we look into the work of Julian of Norwich. She is believed to be the first woman to write a book in the English language. She had the courage to speak when women were meant to be silent.  Key Takeaways: Stillness can be its own form of courageYou don’t need credentials to speak truthLove is a choice, not a feelingGod is not counting your failuresWomen have always protected each other’s wisdomBeing strategic is not the same as compromising Find resources here Free Coaching & Subscribe: 👉 Subscribe: sendymom.com 👉 Email Becky: becky@sendymom.com  If you want help to be more sendy, click here

    What does it look like when divine timing meets radical courage? In Part 2, holistic coach Cherie Burton shares the miraculous stories behind adopting her two youngest children — a son she saw in a spiritual vision years before he arrived, and a daughter who came through six court hearings, a California foster system, and a stranger's recurring dream.

Certified holistic practitioner and emotional breakthrough trainer, specializing in Aroma Alchemy. Leads retreats worldwide and runs an international wellness business. (Missed Part 1?

    46. Tension, Release, and the Beautiful Mess of a Courageous Life — Christie Skousen Part 2

    What happens when a woman built for intensity has no outlet for it? For Christie Skousen, the answer was redirecting all of it toward her five-month-old — and quickly realizing that wasn't going to work. Part 2 picks up with Christie rebuilding: starting the Peery Piano Academy from scratch, writing a curriculum for the San Francisco Conservatory prep program, and slowly figuring out who she was beyond the piano. But this half of the conversation goes somewhere deeper. Christie talks about the cycles she's noticed throughout her life — expansion and contraction, like musical phrasing — and how the blow-ups she never would have chosen (her parents' divorce at 23, losing her older brother to colon cancer at 48, her own 26-year marriage ending) have each broken her open into something bigger. She shares what she's learned about separating her identity from her children's outcomes, why living abroad changed everything about how she parents, and where she's headed next now that her youngest is off to Sydney for a year abroad. Rapid fire answers, a beautiful musical analogy for life that will stay with you, and Christie's honest, grounded take on doing divorce well — Part 2 is the kind of conversation you want to go on forever. Meet Christie Skousen, Founder of the Peery Piano Academy and author of the Peery Method. Trained under Dr. Irene Peery-Fox, Dmitri Boshkirov, and Leon Fleisher at Peabody. An international competition winner and soloist, her students have gone on to Harvard, Yale, Juilliard, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, and more. Takeaways: Know where your intensity is going.Life has phrasing, just like music.Big blow-ups break you open.Separate your identity from your kids' outcomes.Travel expands your world — and your parenting. Chapters: 00:00 Teaching as a Path to Independence 03:43 Parenting with Intensity and Balance 05:07 Make Your Money Work For You 07:06 The Peery Method is Born 09:26 Writing New Chapters in Motherhood 11:07 Navigating Life's Expansions and Contractions 13:44 The Impact of Divorce on Personal Growth 18:06 Embracing Change and New Beginnings 19:02 Parenting Young Adults 25:48 How Living Abroad Broadens Your Horizon 27:57 Rapid Fire Questions Resources: How to Survive Life's Blow-Ups: Lessons from a World-Class Pianist and Mom If You Loved This Episode, Try: 12.

    45. Tension, Release, and the Beautiful Mess of a Courageous Life — Christie Skousen Part 1

    Christie Skousen grew up in a household where practicing piano two hours a day was as non-negotiable as brushing your teeth — the daughter of the legendary Irene Peery Fox, who was performing at Carnegie Hall while pregnant with Christie. By age nine, Christie was teaching piano to pay her own way. By eighteen, she was on her own. And by the time she walked into Leon Fleischer's studio at Peabody as the only freshman he admitted that year, she had already learned the lesson that would define her life: if you do the work, you can do whatever. In Part 1, Becky and Christie dig into what it was really like to grow up inside competitive classical piano — the strategy, the brutality, the subjective judging, and the complicated relationship between talent, hard work, and identity. Christie gets refreshingly honest about how she survived competitions not by leading with her love of music, but by leading with her competitive fire. She shares what she'd tell any kid whose heart is in music but who keeps walking away from competitions empty-handed. And she lays out the philosophy behind the Peery Method — the step-by-step system that has since taken her students to Juilliard, Eastman, and conservatories around the world. Also: she bought a cockatoo in junior high with her own money. Meet Christie Skousen, Founder of the Peery Piano Academy and author of the Peery Method. Trained under Dr. Irene Peery-Fox, Dmitri Boshkirov, and Leon Fleisher at Peabody. An international competition winner and soloist, her students have gone on to Harvard, Yale, Juilliard, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, and more.

    From Nepal at 15 to Launching An Art Business: Leslie Morley on Faith, Fear, and Creative Calling

    At fifteen, Leslie Morley boarded a plane to Nepal alone. She lived in a rural village, served in an orphanage, and came home with a worldview she’s still unpacking. But the bravest thing she’s ever done wasn’t Nepal—or starting her art business painting Heavenly Mother. The bravest thing is staying: showing up for her kids, her faith, her creativity, and the work of being known. In this episode, artist Leslie Morley joins Becky to talk about faith and courage, creative motherhood, and how to raise brave kids without losing connection. They explore imposter syndrome, gratitude vs. guilt, and what it means to live “alive and awake in Christ.” This conversation weaves together Latter-day Saint faith, sacred art, and the daily courage it takes to stay connected to God, your family, your community, and yourself. If you’ve ever felt afraid to share your gifts, unsure in motherhood, or disconnected from your faith, this episode will ground and encourage you. Meet My Guest: Leslie Morley is a Christian artist known for paintings of the Divine Family—Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother, and Jesus Christ. She studied art at Southern Utah University and art history in Italy. Her work invites a deeper relationship with God through sacred art. A mother of two, Leslie believes creativity is a form of testimony: you are known, you are held, and heaven is closer than you think. Find her at LeslieMorley.com and @lesliemorleyarts. Key Takeaways: • How to raise brave, resilient kids through daily connection • Faith over fear: turning belief into action • Creativity as grounding for overwhelmed moms • Gratitude vs. guilt and overcoming comparison • Imposter syndrome in motherhood and creative work • Emotional vulnerability as real courage • Connecting with God, family, self, and community • Using your gifts without fear Chapters: 00:00 Who is Leslie Morley? 04:40 On Being an Imposter 09:06 Lessons from India: Gratitude and Humility 15:28 Oregon Nomads: A Year of Free Range Learning 16:57 Connecting with Nature as a Grounding Force 23:06 Building Love in Your Family 25:11 Connecting with Children 29:12 Midway 30:39 Connecting with Yourself through Creating 34:14 Out From the Bushel Blog 36:22 Family Mottos 38:23 Leslie Morley Art 45:42 Mosaic of Christ 47:08 Savoring Moments of Motherhood 49:38 Rapid Fire Questions Resources: The Four Connections That Make a Life Feel Whole Subscribe & Connect: 👉 sendymom.com 👉 becky@sendymom.com Becky’s Free Coaching Calendar If you loved this episode, try: How To Not Die in the Wilderness and Learning to Smell the Daisies How to Connect with Your Children: The Science of “Good Enough” Parenting Art After Motherhood: Creating Without Guilt
