More Than Fine

If you’re like me, there was a time when everything seemed to be going just fine. Until it wasn't. I don't know what it's been for you. Maybe a divorce. Sickness. Rejection. Addiction. Abuse. Bankruptcy. Loss. Whatever it is, I know it has you asking, "Can my life ever be good again?" But what if I told you that your place of trouble is also the place where hope is found? I know it doesn't make sense but from what I've seen, it's how God does things. And that means you're not stuck – and you're not staying here. He's the One who says, "I will...transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope." (Hosea 2:15) In His hands, things are going to be more than okay. You are going to be more than fine. Welcome to the More Than Fine Podcast, where we explore how sacred reconnection with Jesus breaks the cycle of trauma & shame.

    213. Pacing Yourself Through the Holidays

    The holidays can be kind of a mixed bag. This time of year can be full of high hopes and dashed dreams. Emotions run high – and not just our own. With the intensity of the season, it can be hard to figure out what you need while supporting the needs of the people in your life. In this episode, I share how I learned to understand my own needs at the holidays, and how you can create a strategy that will allow you to move at a relaxed pace with the ones you love this holiday season.

    212. No More Worst Case Scenarios

    Do you tend to brace for the worst? Sometimes we think we're being diligent, that we're being prepared. But what if we're not actually preparing but panicking? In this episode, I share about my own tendency to worry about the future, and how you can enjoy today without bracing for fear of the future.

    211. Can You Say No?

    Can you say 'no'?  Sometimes we say 'yes' to everything because we want to be seen as dependable and reliable. We like being the one people can count on – and we like how that makes us feel. It makes us feel like we matter. But what what if you already matter? What if your significance isn't tied to how much you do for other people at all? In this episode, I share how I discovered I had a problem with saying 'no,' and how being forced into a season of 'no' actually helped me get free from trouble that people pleasing inevitably causes.

    210. The Hamster Wheel of Insecurity

    The strange thing about insecurity is the more we try to control it, the more it ends up controlling us. Insecurities are built on lies, and while there might be one big one you are aware of, often there are dozens of little ones that go with it. Which makes untangling them like untangling a knotted necklace. Ugh. In this episode, I share about the unexpected way I discovered the web of lies beneath my own insecurities, and how shifting what you choose to agree with puts you on the fast track to freedom from it all.

    209. When the Storm is Inside Your Mind

    We often think of the storms of life as the circumstances outside of us. But what do you do when the storm is inside? Our thought lives can be really stormy. Obsessions, worries, and intrusive thoughts can cause us to feel like we are at the mercy of our minds. Is there a way to make it all stop? In this episode, I share my own struggles with troubling thoughts and finding freedom in my mind. Also, I talk a little about  the role of strongholds and spiritual warfare in our thoughts, and discuss what you can do to fight back.

    208. When You're Not Getting Any Answers

    "Why?" It's a question we all ask. Why did this have to happen? Why is this my story? Why can't my life be like everyone else's? We can get frustrated and discouraged when the answers don't come. And yet, not getting answers isn't necessarily a bad thing. We can get fixated with getting all the answers. We read books, go to seminars, or Google, "What does it mean when..." But if you got the answers, would you actually feel better? What if answers aren't actually what you need?    In this episode, I share a little about my own journey with grasping for answers, and how in not getting the answers, I discovered what we all need instead.

    207. Loving People Who are Hard to Love

    Do you feel like you're carrying it all in your relationships? You're doing what you can - walking on eggshells, trying to make things easier for them - but it only seems to get harder for you.  You feel trapped- like there's nothing you can do to change things. It's true- you can't change them. But you can change you. In this episode, I share what I learned about correcting one-sided relationships, and what you can do to deal with people who are hard to love.

    206. "Keeping the Peace" Doesn't Work | Boundaries Explained

    If setting boundaries (or sticking to them) is hard for you, it's probably because of THIS one thing: You're trying to "keep the peace." When we don't have good boundaries, it's usually because we want to avoid conflict, or avoid losing a relationship. But If you have to work so hard to "keep the peace," do you even have real peace in the first place? In this week's episode, I share why we often strive to "keep the peace," and what happens when we stop all that and experience Jesus' true, lasting peace. I also discuss how knowing His peace helps us find relationships where we can share peace, and deal with relationships where peace isn't shared.
