Almost Ready

Today is a two in one podcast. I dive into why working on social media is the most toxic work environment imaginable in part one and in part two I explain exactly how I found out that I’m being discriminated against as a conservative creator. I appreciate y’all for being here more than you know please make sure you’re following my backup IG just.marie.christine2, my RUMBLE justmariechristine, TikTok justmariechristine and my YouTube just.marie.christine

This week I had a not so great epiphany about myself. Let’s talk about it

Discussing why I decided to get my tattoo and a little bit of the Catholic theology behind death. I know many of you aren’t Catholic so understand that I’m not trying to convince you that I’m right, I’m just sharing my faith and what I believe to be true.

• This was a HARD podcast to record and it's probably NOT what you're expecting. I have had multiple requests to speak on this topic and l've avoided it. I have zero frame of reference for divorce. But I do have opinions on it and some observation born advice on how to avoid it. Please know that I understand not every marriage is worth saving, some are dangerous. However we are discussing the greater number of marriages that fall into that "no fault" or "we just aren't happy" category. I would never expect someone in an abusive situation to remain there. If you think we need a part two let me know.

What if I told you confidence is one part illusion, one part skill and one part body language, with a sprinkle of delusion in the mix.. Let’s discuss

In todays Episode I interview Debbie McKinzie author of the book Property of the King. In this book Debbie reveals how Jesus really can save anyone. She shares in detail how Christ saved her and her husband from the sinful lives they were living as leaders of a motorcycle gang. I can personally testify to witnessing just how radically Christ has changed Debbie’s life. Her conversion story will leave you in awe of just how good God really is!

When we were flying home from California last week, I looked out the window as we flew over the Rocky Mountains. As I sat in awe of such majesty, I was struck with a PROFOUND sense of gratitude and I want to share more about and how I’m allowing it to change my perception with you today.

Let’s dig deep into parenting these chaotic little creatures, shall we? In this episode I’m going to unpack my own teen years. Where I think my mom royally screwed up and where I can only PRAY to do things as well as she did. I probably have some unpopular opinions per the norm.. so the same rule applies. If I piss you off, sit with it and figure out why my words affect you.

Thank you for your patience waiting on this episode to drop. I am sorry for the week long delay. I unpack a lot of emotions I didn’t even realize were still there in this episode. If you have a friend or family member who is suffering through infertility, please share pt 1 and pt 2 with them.

Todays infertility podcast is RAW. It’s got tears and things that are hard to hear. It will upset some of you. At times I sound like a hypocrite, but hindsight is 20/20 and this is my journey. It’s uncut. Honest. Tearful. Today is part 1. I pray it finds who it was meant for. Be blessed ❤️🙏🏻

A few weeks ago I posted a dual podcast co-hosted with my cousin Debbie where I shared what marriage was like in a house with a Devout Catholic who is married to an Atheist (Episode 10). Today I’m going to share how my faith has evolved over the years and how The Lord has allowed me to suffer but also blessed me with eyes that can see and a heart that can love the beauty that was born from my struggle.

Your circle matters. Show me your five closest friends and l'II tell you exactly who you are. On todays podcast we discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with people who cheer for you but who will also be honest and give constructive criticism when needed. How to navigate things when you have friend groups that don't mesh well and how to handle it when you find out someone doesn't like you. •Video version of Almost Ready podcast is posted every* Thursday in my I subscription group audio is available Friday on iTunes Spotify and Podbean. I hope you'll listen. Make sure you follow me here and on your favorite podcast app .. • #podcastersofig #femalepodcaster #friendcircle

Today I want to be really candid with you. I have felt the deep desire to raise the bar for myself, but as usual I’ve been fighting against it. Today lets discuss hearing hard truths and allowing conviction to work its magic in us.

This weeks show is a little different. I decided to share with all of you, my cousin’s interview of me about my faith journey and what that has looked like as a traditional Catholic married to a nonbeliever. This episode may be a little more tame as far as my language, but I was trying to be respectful of her followers. However I think it is relatable to both Catholics and Protestants alike. Debbie shared some inspiring bible quotes in her Ladies Lounge and I wanted to share them with you as well they are posted below. Please go follow Debbie on IG at @brahmckinzie and you can request to join her ‘’The Ladies Lounge closed group’’ on FB. Scriptures for Encouragement: 1 Peter 3:1-2 - "Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives." 1 Corinthians 7:13-14 - "And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband." 2 Corinthians 6:14 - "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" Philippians 4:6-7 - "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Matthew 19:26 - "But Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible.'" Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Isaiah 40:31 - "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Romans 15:13 - "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Psalm 37:4 - "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Ephesians 4:2-3 - "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."

Today I want to talk about how I found my voice and am learning to use it in a way that causes people to actually listen

Today I want to discuss the importance of communication with your spouse and all the ways we tend to fuck that up. Homework: Google the four styles of communication with your person. Have a discussion about it. Have them tell you what style they think you are and what challenges they have in talking to you. Then you do the same for them. It’s a great way to tip-toe into communicating without having an important discussion weighing on you.

⚠️ 𝗔𝗗𝗨𝗟𝗧 𝗧𝗢𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗦 ⚠️LET’S Talk about SEX! This is an earbuds only podcast if you’re around kids or at work. If you’re by your husband, maybe play it over the surround sound 🤪😜 I took a poll a few weeks ago and learned that 35% of you are not sexually satisfied by your partner. Let’s discuss this!

This episode might feel a little spicy for some. As always lets agree that we are speaking about majority and not individual experiences. Regardless, doing the scary thing.. taking the leap of faith… risking FAILURE will always be the only path to growth.

There will always be people who inspire you and people who make you feel ‘less than’. It’s important to pay attention to who and why some may make you uncomfortable. It’s usually a YOU problem that you need to unpack and heal. That being said, that doesn’t mean you need those people in your feed every day. Never be afraid to use the unsubscribe and/or block buttons.

I recently saw a post on IG asking why “dad bods” are socially acceptable but “mom bods” need to be fixed. My take may surprise you.. if you disagree I would love to know why and how you feel.
