Relationships break apart when trust breaks down. How are you showing that you trust your teenagers? Are you teaching them to trust themselves? How are you building and reinforcing trust with yourself in the process? Trust is a foundational element in all of our relationships and even the most basic human interactions. Let's talk about how it shows up and what it looks like when trust isn't where you might like it to be.

As you prepare your teenagers to venture out into the world, who is having an impact on their lives? As parents, we are far from the days of organizing playdates, but our kids are still looking to the adults in their lives to be their mentors and guides. Do you know who those adults are? Besides you, the parents, who else is influencing your young adult's attitude, values or outlook on life? It's still important to be intentional about the people your children choose to surround themselves with.

This is an important conversation about why the pain we fear, either for ourselves or for our children, might actually be good for us. You've heard the phrase, "No pain, no gain"? I enjoy this conversation because for some crazy reason, I've managed to grow to love making myself uncomfortable. I'm willing to experience pain for the reward in growth that it gets me.

Do you find it uncomfortable to think about submission? Maybe you're like me and the parts of the Bible that talked about a woman's submission and obedience always rubbed you a little bit the wrong way. In this episode, I want to share a little bit of my evolution in thinking about submission. As a woman, as a wife and as a follower of Jesus.

In this episode, I discuss the art-making process, how fragile it is, especially for emerging artists who are still building up their creative confidence, and how focusing on making meaning isn't necessarily the best way to make an impact with a piece of art.

The body gives access to the mind and spirit. And it's important to acknowledge that our whole selves are valuable and magnificent.

Sean Stockman is one of my favorite people to kick around. From our time together in karate classes to collaborating and networking on a professional level, Sean and I have formed a great friendship. He is passionate about personal growth and professional development, serving and leading others, and changing the way people approach difficult subjects like financial planning and budgeting. His energy and excitement are infectious, and he has so much knowledge, experience and wisdom to share at the same time as he's intentionally opening himself up to new opportunities to learn and grow in new ways. Enjoy the interview, and connect with Sean locally in the Milwaukee area at his Roundtable event or virtually on LinkedIn or inside The Idea Collective.

If I ask you to talk about your body image, what emotions come up? When I asked this question on social media, the responses were about what I expected based on my experience with people, including my own self. Most people have some more negative emotions when they think about their bodies, some were neutral and less than half shared positive feelings. This episode is about body image and about how we choose to put ourselves on display to the world.

The activities we choose to do and the images of ourselves that we choose to put on display to the world aren't always about what they seem to be about. Dancing on TikTok isn't just about dancing. There are layers to it. This episode talks about curating our online identities and seeking authentic connection. It's not about the dance. Or maybe it is. And there's usually more to it than that.
