THE WAY FAM

We met Xavier about 3 years ago, he was in the air force and decided to try out van life. Immediately he became a regular at our weekly family dinners and a part of our community group. Fast forward to now and he's a personal trainer and coach in LA working on writing a book. In this episode, we talk about how to find your purpose. Xavier has a list of 7 questions for someone who is looking to find their purpose: 1. Who is God?  2. Who are you?   3. Where do you come from?  4. What can you do?  5. Who are you serving through your gifts and why?  6. What do the people you're serving want or need?7. Where are you going?You can find Xavier on Instagram @_weaponx or check out his website: https://surgefit.squarespace.comWe would love to hear from you!!!Follow us on Instagram!Like us on Facebook!If you have questions or suggestions or jokes or ideas, email us at thewayfampodcast@gmail.comSupport the show --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayfampodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayfampodcast/support

Q: What is most important for us right now? A: Survival and balance. As parents with 3 kiddos, its A LOT with both of us working from home, homeschooling, making healthy meals, cleaning the house, trying to be intentional, and not dying/going insane. Here's some tips for how we're handling these strange times. Wake up and start your day positive  (don’t start the day with phone/news/emails) Get outside (multiple times per day, regular intervals, set a timer and go for a walk) Practice gratitude (set a timer or keep a journal) Get moving (sweat 20 min a day) Reset to zero (don’t start your day in the red, set yourself up for success) Han's recommendations:Coffee RecipeMission House BandZach's recommendations:Stay Sane ChallengeClutterfree App My new daily devotional podcast This Is The WayWe would love to hear from you!!!Follow us on Instagram!Like us on Facebook!If you have questions or suggestions or jokes or ideas, email us at thewayfampodcast@gmail.comwe love ya!!xoxoSupport the show --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayfampodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayfampodcast/support

Over the year, we have had various goals for different areas of life, and pretty much all of our achievement goals, we either reframed, rewrote, or rejected. We talk about how the goals that had the most impact and affected the most change were small little habits that were fruitful and multiplied via compound interest. It's funny when they say shoot for the moon, and you might land among the stars because that's setting yourself up for failure. If the goal is to hit the target, make a habit of practicing every day. I wish we never wrote achievement goals, what a colossal waste of time compared to habits.

We had a miscarriage, celebrated our 5th anniversary, then what happened? We stopped doing the podcast. To be honest, it was like a hurricane of a couple of months, here we are at the end of the year, 23 days until Christmas. We decided it's probably time for us to write down our vision for the life we desire and build purposeful habits around that. We think that the best way for us to do that is to write a rule of life. So, we talk a little bit about what a rule of life is and why we want to write one.  Recommendations: Bridgetown Church Audio Practicing The Way, Rule of Life WorkbookThe Ruthless Elimination of HurrySpartan FitWe would love to hear from you!!!Leave us a voicemail at 1(805) 242-6559Follow us on Instagram!Like us on Facebook!If you have questions or suggestions or jokes or ideas, email us at thewayfampodcast@gmail.comwe love ya!!xoxoSupport the show --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayfampodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayfampodcast/support

For our five year anniversary, we went to Kauai, without kids. It was such a beautiful place, and we had such a nice time. But it was weird and it took some time to actually just stop and relax. We were removed from our normal life and we weren’t distracted by business and work and all the things that go on. We used to travel a lot, but not so much anymore. In this episode, we talk about the difference between experiencing a new thing and documenting them and how our mindset has shifted. We want to remember things how they were and not a staged or perfected version of our memories. Han’s Recommendations: Kauai Guide BookDark Chocolate Sunflower See Butter CupsSumo OrangesZach’s Recommendations:Digital MinimalismBlinkist AppScreen Time RestrictionsValley of VisionReset to ZeroWe would love to hear from you!!!

I remember when we were young and took naps just because, but this is a little different. Having two kids, and two jobs, and a house to take care of and bills to pay and a puppy and a million things to do we recognized our need for purposeful rest. We want our house to be peaceful and we want to set good examples of healthy rhythms and rituals. We would love to hear from you!!! Leave us a voicemail at 1(805) 242-6559 Follow us on Instagram!

YO this week we talk about goals (what else is new) and WHAT stops us from reaching them - is it excuses? distractions? circumstances beyond our control? WHAT IS IT? well, listen and maybe you’ll find out - but also maybe not, cause we don’t know all the answers either.
