Do you feel confused right now? Me too!

Here are three tips I’ve been trying to keep in mind
1. We don’t have to understand.
2. We don’t have to look the same.
3. We need to love.

Listen in!

A couple of years ago Sherri told me a story that breathed hope into my homeschool mom life. Today I get the extreme honor of letting you hear this same story!

I’m so excited to have Sherri as a guest on the podcast today! I think this episode will remind you that even if it “seems” like your kids are behind… they really are not. Sherri shares practical ways to cheer your child on without labeling or pushing them too hard. She also reminds us that motherhood is important.

Listen in you will find out that — You ARE doing a good job.

So many times we are distracted — by other people or by our circumstances. In this episode I chat about Martha and something that stuck out to me in her story. I share a couple times where I was distracted. And a couple things to keep in mind when you find yourself distracted. Hopefully your biggest takeaway is that satan wants us distracted... because then we are not looking clearly at the things we can actually do something about — the people hearts right in front of us.

Listen in as Cheryl shares about her experiences as a public school, private school, and now homeschool teacher. She also gives great advice for the Mama you doesn’t feel qualified. And for when you are having one of “those days”. Give it a listen, you will be glad you did so. Follow Cheryl on Instagram and her website at Epiphanies365

I share about a sermon that encouraged me a while back. It was meant for kids... but as adults I realize it’s pretty important. Get in the right crowd. P.S. For the full, accurate, and complete softball story google... “Sara Tucholsky”. ;)

Part Two of our series on BURNOUT is here!! In this episode Rachel and I talk about practical answers for dealing with with burnout. The list includes caffeine, diet, exercise, rhythms of rest, and herbs. Don’t expect a list of rules or list of things you use not do. Really, I think you will be pleasantly surprised! There is one little thing on this list that you’ve been meaning to do anyways... Rachel will encourage you to take that one next step toward living without burnout.
Go have a listen! You will be glad you did!

Rachel and I sit down to talk about BURNOUT. We discuss why burnout is a concern, and what it looks like. She shares how our body reacts to burnout and stress by increasing the cortisol levels to help us adapt. Rachel points us things that we do that also inadvertly add to increased cortisol. Lastly, she shares the negative symptoms that we begin to experience with cortisol is at a high level for too long.

She got me at ”stress without margins” and ”tired but wired”. Go give it a listen you will be able to relate.

A bit of musings about things I learned in the middle of the night as I dealt with a painful toe. Seems kind of silly to even write that, but go give it a listen. I think you will look at the body a little differently.

I speak first to myself, but I think you can relate... when we are hurting with something that others can’t see. When we are stopped in our tracks... discouraged, worried, fearful... There is a piece missing from the body. And of course, satan loves that. Satan doesn’t mind how he does it, he likes the body to stop working together.

God doesn’t need any of us. Yet He gets joy and pleasure when we as a body of Christians work together, when we hurt when others hurt and when we go out and be the part of the body we were created to be. That brings Him glory!

I hope you will come away with the reminder that EVERY part is important, every part is needed, and every part needs to care for each other.

During this episode I chat with author and speaker September McCarthy. We are talking about the introverted mom life; boundaries and balance at home, in ministry, and social invitations. September gives introverts permission to make time to refuel in purposeful ways. Be sure to connect with September on Instagram at SeptemberAnne. Check out her products for moms also on Instagram at SeptemberandCo

This week we are chatting about how satan is out to get us. I share seven ways to fight that ole devil. During the episode I read a “satan says... God says” list I read that my friend @marsharufener created. Her list proves Satan’s been lying to us. Go take a listen!

What is really important? You know lots of people had tag lines for this year “the year of perfect vision” Imagine if God was out to give us perfect vision in 2020. Imagine if He was out to show us the things that really matter to us.

What would He do? Give us time to rest? A lot of time to be with our favorite people? Time to step away from the traditions and rules we’ve created for our worship at church. A time to get a good look at what are kids are learning in school, and perhaps see where they are struggling. A good chance to get back around the kitchen table with our family again.
.

I am asking myself two questions. Listen in.

My friend Hannah Nitz has been Christian for almost forever, but recently she found out there is so much more. She tells her story of how God wrecked her and took her to a place where she realized there is so much more to a relationship with God. She tells how she’s been hanging out in the lobby of the resort, but there is a whole resort full of goodness. Listen in you will love her energy :)

We all have disappointments. Maybe even more today than we did at the start of 2020. We can’t stuff it all inside us, we can’t give satan an inch. Get the disappointments in the open, grieve them, that way you can move on. Move on and Worship!!

I found myself looking out of a dirty window. Cleaning it did not change my view. But boy... it sure changed my perspective. Maybe you need a little perspective change with COVID-19. Listen in as I tell a couple stories from history that gave me a bit of perspective change.

Special Sister Share Online Episode... featuring three stories of God showing up in the perfect timing. These stories are from Sue Weaver, Larisa Maibach, and Jill Welti

Marriage is such a learning process. I don’t think I’ll ever have it all figured out. This episode I share five little things I’ve been learning. 1. Team. 2. Be a Student of your spouse. 3. Intimacy is glue. 4. Go to bed angry sometimes. 5. The enemy is satan.

Join me, as Kira and Kenzie from Alongside Them, chat about discipling our children. We talk about what discipling looks like, why it’s important, and how to go about doing it.

In episode two of our series on Boundaries we talked about lots of practical things. In episode three Erica shares some advice she learned that helps us deal with these difficult people. We chat about what to do if you are struggling with the first steps of setting boundaries. We end the series by reminding everyone the end goal; more balanced relationships, healthy boundaries, all framed in God’s love.

Last week we chatted about trash dumping neighbors... this week Erica and I are putting some words to this analogy. We paint some pictures of what this looks like in real life. We add some feeling words to how it feels when our boundaries are violated. During the episode, Erica mentions the book Boundaries for Your Soul by Alison Cook and Kimberly Miller. (Find link here: https://www.amazon.com/Boundaries-Your-Soul-Overwhelming-Thoughts/dp/1400201616) We chat about practical ways to deal with boundaries pushers... react/respond.
