    The Wisdom Years - Part 2

    Fear does not come from God.  So why do we choose it?  That is part of the message Cindee Williams had for us during our conversation.  Trying to control circumstances, or people, is not coming from a place of love but of fear.  Deciding to come from a place of love is the better choice and sometimes it’s hard to do.  As Cindee shares, that’s why walking with God helps us develop our sense of security. Plus the risk to be vulnerable shows us we can be bold, we can make mistakes, and still be loved.  Yes, always loved by God. Cindee is our guest this week for Spicy Christian Women - Becoming all that and a bag of chips.  This is part two. She can be found at leadmylife.com.

    The Wisdom Years - Part 1

    It is true that a lot of us feel wiser as we age.  This is part of the message Cindee Williams had for us during our conversation.  Lost confidence?  You can regain it.  Not sure of your purpose?  You can find it.  Afraid to pursue your dreams?  You can overcome that fear.  Cindee runs a faith-based program called “Lead My Life” to help women answer these questions and become bold enough to go for what they want, bold enough to step into all that God has for them. Cindee is our guest this week for Spicy Christian Women - Becoming all that and a bag of chips.  This is part one. She can be found at leadmylife.com. Thanks for being part of the UY conversation.

    She Found the Answers - Part 2

    Are you allowed to enjoy yourself after a hard thing? In addition to eating a truly memorable meal that was described so well I could almost taste each course, at 1587 Prime* no less, which I’d never heard of before, Paula Romang can enjoy life despite having a son in heaven.  Or maybe it’s because she has a son in heaven that the good things of this life can taste so sweet again.  Like that fabulous meal. She’s given herself permission to experience joy again. Paula sees that one of the greatest gifts God has given her is long-term pain because she learned her faith had to be put into action.  It was, and she not only survived, she thrived.  She had previously believed that if she did all the ‘right things’ she would have this beautiful, smooth life.  Now she understands that hardship and suffering are part of the Christian life.  Paula knows the truth.  She’s found the answers. Paula is our guest this week for Spicy Christian Women - Becoming all that and a bag of chips.  This is part two. You can find Paula at www.paularomang.com.

    She Found the Answers

    There’s no escaping the hard things.  They come whether you want them to or not.  And lots of times you have little or no control over the outcome. In the heaviness of a painful season, sometimes you’re called to do things you didn’t anticipate, and maybe didn’t even want to do. Yet here you are in the midst of it.  The only way out is through.  You put on your big girl pants as they say, and you do the thing as well as you can.    Paula Romang knows this quite well.  She is the mom of twins, and the caregiver to one of them who was born with serious health challenges.  Fighting the good fight as each day was long and arduous, Paula did her best and leaned on her faith to carry her through.  How else could she have done it?  Then the reality of her son’s death at age twelve.  As she shares, in this experience she found answers and her faith remained intact. Thriving in the Barren Place is the book she wrote about this experience, all she learned, and how she persevered.

    Strength Came after Doubt - Part 2

    Did you know that being vulnerable is a gift? It’s a gift that requires you to be honest with yourself, and to do that takes the courage to be you without apology, regardless of what others think.  Joanna Mayo has been learning that her ability to open up is a super strength.  It is one that helped her understand not everyone is ready for that kind of depth.  Not everyone can handle it.  So while you may be doubting yourself, Joanna has come out the other side and you can too.  She is here to tell you being vulnerable is a gift and she is all the stronger because she has embraced it. Joanna is our guest this week for Spicy Christian Women - Becoming all that and a bag of chips.  This is part two. Thanks for being part of the UY conversation.

    Strength Came after Doubt

    Have you ever wondered what to do with your doubt? Today’s guest, Joanna Mayo has had her own periods of doubt, expressing three different things that made the difference.  She explored through reading, most notably Savannah Guthrie’s book, What God Does which provided comfort and hope.  Joanna became more intentional in her faith through prayer and worship along with recognizing how being authentic and vulnerable is a place she finds strength.  Finding the people that support you and seeking out new connections is the advice she shared.  These were the beginnings of a process that ultimately renewed her faith. Joanna is our guest this week for Spicy Christian Women - Becoming all that and a bag of chips. This is Part 1. Thanks for being part of the UY conversation.

    What This Year Taught Us (and What We’re Carrying Into the Next)

    Do you take the time, even a few moments, to look back at the year that is coming to a close? We did. Good friends Amy DeFehr, Mary Ann Mariani and I took some inventory from this year - like our favorite memories (time with family, travel, a big move), biggest challenges (a child’s anxiety, marital speed bumps, a desire to teach) and something we tried for the first time (going to a conference alone, giving a eulogy, going on a girls trip). Reflecting is a great way to learn and to keep growing forward. Next we thought about the upcoming year - areas that need more focus, things we want to do, and our word for the year. It was an empowering way to kick off the new year envisioning what we want, the work we want to do, and the people we want to continue to grow into being. Join our conversation for the inspiration needed to reflect, and head into the new year with encouragement and intention. Amy has been on UY in Walking Off a Cliff;IKnow Because I Know; and Reflections on 2024, Hopes for 2025. Find Mary Ann in A Passionate Artist of Story; I Was Mad at Myself;I Write but I don’t Love to Write; and Reflections on 2024, Hopes for 2025. Thanks for being part of the UY conversation.

    Yes, More of This (at Christmas time) - Revisiting The Family Stone

    “Shaun and The Family Stone” It’s a family affair.  That is the name of a song that was made famous by a group called Sly and the Family Stone way back in the day (feel free to Google).  Today for your listening pleasure, we have Shaun and the Family Stone, as in a fun play on words.  Dedicated to family, and one family in particular with the last name of Stone, Shaun and I take a conversational approach to the Christmas movie, The Family Stone.  We watched it together this year in preparation.  Here are our insights, thoughts and feelings.  Oh, and maybe a verklempt moment or two.  There is a lot of love for this movie, and for me, with good reason.  Shout out to Hillary and Robyn, fellow Family Stoners. I was so excited to have this conversation that I forgot to plug in my mic!  Forgive the less than stellar sound quality on my end. Thanks for being part of the UY conversation.
