In Sickness and in Health With Karen Wilkinson - 070
What If You Had to Advocate For Your Spouse's Life?
I know what it's like to stand at your husband's bedside, preparing for him to leave this earth. Karen Wilkinson has experienced the stress and pressure of fighting for her husband through a medical crisis, advocating for what he wanted, and they have both lived to tell the story. Her desire is to encourage us to be prepared to face a trial of this kind, while also maintaining a deep faith. She also shares how this near-death experience has affected their marriage and how they invest in it now on the other side of it. This story is heart-warming, gut-wrenching and causes you to be deeply introspective. Get ready.

How to Truly Enjoy Sex (With Dr. Jennifer Degler) - 069
Sex Isn't Just For Him. You Deserve Pleasure, Too.
In my first marriage (straight out of purity culture!) I didn't enjoy sex. I thought it was my duty, but I wasn't very good at it and didn't desire it. But then I found excitement and passion in my new marriage, so I know (from experience!) that a woman's sex drive can be transformed. We just need education and encouragement to learn and try new things. I interview Dr. Jennifer Degler, a Psychologist, life coach, author, speaker, wife, and mom who gives us practical advice for women who want more out of their sex life. And for women who might not think that is possible.
We discuss questions and topics from my listeners including:
-How to know your body-Developing a pleasure mindset for mutual enjoyment in the bedroom.-How to talk about what you want/need/like and don't like with your man. -Are there any acts that are “off limits”?-How often is “normal” for sexual intimacy? And more. Dr. Jennifer gives us practical ideas to try right away to spice it up.Last sex episode

Praying For Your Husband's Wife - 068 #prayingforyourhusbanddaily
You Can’t Pray For Him ‘Til You Pray For Yourself
We’re going back to the basics of #prayingforyourhusbanddaily. As much as I strongly encourage you to fervently and faithfully pray for your husband, none of it will be effective unless you pray this prayer for yourself, first. Get ready, this one hits deep, but oh, how freeing it will be. Well, at least it was for me. In this episode, you will hear a truly vulnerable prayer I need to pray more often and the (many) reasons why.

Repeat After Me: "I'm Already Enough - 067
It's Time To Lower the Bar
Hear me out. Your expectations are far too high, so it's time to lower the bar. You deserve the chance to step back, review all the roles you play and the hats you wear, and reassess how you're showing up. It's likely time to give yourself some grace, lowering your standards to an achievable level and simultaneously acknowledging your incredible wins and contributions in countless places. In short, you need to be reminded that you are most certainly enough. Already.

If You’re in a Funk, (Or Depressed) You Will Relate to This (Me)! – 066
Maybe it's just a funk, maybe it's more.
In this vulnerable episode, I reveal how I've been feeling "off", taking my personal reflections to the mic to process. Am I dealing with depression? Just a hard season? More importantly, what am I doing to take care of myself during it, and what can you try, too? I share practical ways I'm facing my funk, and what I'm vowing to avoid from here on out as well. I hope you find encouragement and realize you're not alone or weak if (and when) you struggle.

Customer Reviews
Relatable Content!
I’ve been following Julie for a few years now and her content is so encouraging. God totally answered my prayers through the wisdom she provides on marriage. So grateful to have found her!
AWESOME show!
Julie is a great host and her energy is infectious. I’ve enjoyed listening to her insights and appreciate her perspective on living as a Christian in today’s world. This is definitely worth the listen!
This show is like that novel you don’t want to put down!
This Poscast is just so good, you look forward to that little pop up on your phone when there’s a new episode! I have been listening to this show since the first episode came out, and I remember being in my car balling my eyes out because I was so touched by Julie’s story. She is so inspiring, so real and honest about her journey and approach to marriage. I love that she never gave up and to this day lives her life to encourage others. Julie becomes your friend…and makes you think about life differently. Listen to the show! It never disappoints!!!!!
