Ready to Thrive

This episode actually wasn’t recorded for the Ready to Thrive podcast, it was a conversation I shared with Wendy for my Mama Get Your Life Back group. I loved it so much I felt like it would be worth sharing with my Ready to Thrive audience as well! Wendy and I discuss her first book, Triggers, and what we can actually do when we are triggered by our kids actions.

I love this series as it offers us encouragement in our own difficult experiences. Lisa is one of the sweetest women you will ever come across and will truly have you asking the question, “Why do bad things happen to good people? And “How can God be good when bad things happen?” I think we’ve all asked these questions at some point in our lives. I know I have.

Everyone is feeling the financial crunch these days! Inflation is bananas and its easy to feel the stress that debt can have on our soul. Are you ready to break free from financial bondage? In episode 82 Brendan and I shared about our journey to become debt free! And next week you’re going to hear how we did it!

I don’t know about you but the last few years I’ve had to intentionally turn down the noise of the world. And I feel it again. My heart feels heavy, there is a lot going on.

A huge part of mental health is the space we live in. It’s incredibly difficult to thrive in clutter and chaos! And for many of us we know we need to de-clutter but we don’t always know “how.” I had the chase to sit down with decluttering expert Allie Casazza. Her online courses have helped thousands of women find freedom from “stuff.” What I discovered in my own decluttering journey with Allie is that our stuff holds us back more than simply taking time every day to clean and organize. It holds us back from intentionally pursuing what is most important in our lives. I trust you will leave this episode inspired and encouraged to clear the clutter in your home and create space for what matters most! My Tangled book is found here!

I loved this conversation with Amber. You see, it didn’t start with food for Amber. It started with her anger towards her kids! She co-wrote the book Triggers alongside former guest Wendy Speake. And just like God has continued to challenge and free Wendy in different areas of her life, (Sugar and Social Media).  He’s been doing the same with Amber. Her latest book, Food Triggers: Exchanging Unhealthy Patterns for God-Honoring Habits. And if you’re like most people, you have a bit of a complicated relationship with food. Maybe you eat more than you’d like to on holidays, or on vacation. Maybe food has become a comfort to you over the craziness of the past few years. Amber gets that. I get that. And in this episode - we talk about it. If you’re ready to move from surviving to thriving and want to check out the resources I’ve created for you, hop over to my new website!

A few years back I wasn’t loving life. I was overwhelmed. I just didn’t understand how people managed this whole parenting thing! I picked up a copy of a book titled “Loving Your Actual Life” by Alexandra Kuykenall and appreciated the deep dive she did into her own life and what it would look like to love it. Fast forward many years and our world has changed significantly. And once again Alexandra has written a book that is incredibly timely.
