The Thrive Podcast

In this episode, we shine a light on the unseen struggles many kids face every day. Andrew Truong shares his journey working in youth mental health—what it means to truly show up, to listen, and to create safe spaces where kids feel heard and supported. Through honest conversation and deep reflection, we explore how pain often hides in plain sight—and why choosing to care can change everything. This is a story about presence, purpose, and standing with kids in the middle of their silent battles.

In this episode, we dive into the mindset behind building something meaningful from scratch—and the grit, vision, and discipline it takes to go all in. Through raw honesty and powerful reflection, Benjamin shares the highs and lows of his entrepreneurial journey, from self-doubt and setbacks to clarity and momentum. It’s also a story about investing in the next generation—pouring time, energy, and wisdom into those coming up behind us. This is a story about chasing purpose, embracing the grind, and turning a dream into a legacy.

In this episode, we dive into the battle against addiction and the struggle of weight loss—and how discipline, training, and inner strength can pave the way to healing. Through raw honesty and powerful reflection, our guest shares the highs and lows of their journey, from hitting rock bottom to finding purpose in the process. This is a story about taking control, embracing the grind, and transforming pain into power.

In this episode, Michelle shares her journey through depression, fear, and anxiety—and how choosing discomfort over avoidance helped her take her life back. From the pain of losing a parent to navigating a divorce, she opens up about the moments that broke her and the mindset that built her resilience. This is a story of starting over, showing up, and learning to live again.

Whoever coined the phrase “tired as a mother” is right up there with the inventor of sliced bread and Velcro toddler shoes. It just makes sense. What DOESN’T make sense is continuing to live in the lie that rest isn’t for you - that you don’t deserve it, that you can’t access it, or that it needs to look a certain way to make sense or be worthwhile. Today’s episode will bring true HEALING rest to your heart and soul with bestselling author and speaker Becky Thompson. Becky doesn’t have a secret sauce (but spoiler alert: no one does!). What she DOES have is an invitation from Christ to let Him into the messy - because He’ll actually meet you there. Warning, this conversation may be balm to your soul. And if you’re a neurodivergent mama and/or have neurodivergent kiddos, this is *especially* important for you (read: us).

We’re re-running this favorite episode for anyone needing a creative BOOST — because yes, YOU are full of creativity, too! Do you feel like you’re a creative person? If not...what would you say if I told you that we are ALL, in fact, inherently creative people, and you just have to ask the right question to get your creative juices flowing? Rose Gabler was named one of the Top 20 Female Entrepreneurs to look for in 2021 and authored the book The Creativity Gene, and she’s with us on THRIVE today to spill the beans on creative success - what it takes, what it looks like, and HOW to make it happen. We talk about actionable intention-setting, embracing vulnerability in the creative process, ways to spark your creativity if you’re ever feeling less-than-inspired, as well as breaking down her 5 discovered characteristics that directly contribute to creative success - and they might not be what you think.   CONNECT WITH ROSE INSTAGRAM THE CREATIVITY GENE BOOK WEBSITE THANK YOU to Green Chef for sponsoring this episode of THRIVE!

Being a woman can be so hard. But being a woman can also be so empowering - and God’s got a special place for women in His kingdom. You may have heard of Mary and Eve - maybe Ruth or Esther. But have you ever heard of Hagar? Jael? Jehosheba? There are so many incredible women in the Bible, and something they all have in common: their bravery. Laura Smith is a dear friend of the THRIVE podcast, and she’s back to talk bravery and her new book, “Brave Woman, Mighty God.” If you’ve ever felt lacking in courage or confidence to do what God has called you to do - this one’s for you.  CONNECT WITH LAURA SMITH BRAVE WOMAN, MIGHTY GOD READ THE FIRST CHAPTER INSTAGRAM WEBSITE MORE EPISODES YOU'LL LOVELOVELOVE THE URGENCY OF SLOWING DOWN - WITH LAURA SMITH REAL ORGANIZATION FOR REAL HOMES - WITH KALLIE BRANCIFORTE HOW TO PRAY WHEN YOU'RE TOO BUSY TO PRAY - WITH KAYLA CRAIG THANKYOU to AirDoctor for sponsoring THRIVE!

Have you already started to sense that your relationship with alcohol is keeping you stuck in some way? Maybe you're tired of the boozy hamster wheel of splurging and detoxing every weekend?

No matter your camp, author of Unbottled Potential and life coach for sober-curious women, Amanda Kuda, is on THRIVE today spilling alllll the tea - or wine? - about going alcohol-free.

If the last few weeks or months have felt especially contentious in your community (or on your newsfeed), you’re not alone. It’s had us thinking, is there a way to still speak truth and share hearts without imploding relationships? What does loving your neighbor look like in a world that feels increasingly polarized on what the definition of “loving your neighbor” even means? One of my favorite follows and new friends, Whitney Lowe, is such an incredible guest and bright light on THRIVE today - she meets us with honesty, heart, and hope to move forward with peace and in truth.

Sherri Coale’s Hall of Fame coaching career was full of highs - and some lows. But through it all, she became a powerhouse leader and teacher. After hitting the goals, setting new ones and hitting those too, Sherri realized…then what? In her words, “maybe it’s not necessarily a thing to check off a list, but a way you want to live.” This conversation is unique and fun for the sports lovers (and also those who don't know the difference between a touchdown and a three-point-shot 😉) with a refreshing take on goal setting for any ambitious achievers among us.

I think we all know how good it feels to lose track of time in the moment…NOT on your phone. But too often, it can feel impossible or overwhelming to turn off notifications or put the screen away altogether. So how can we unplug intentionally and realistically? Is is even realistic in today’s day and age? Hannah Brencher is on THRIVE today with a big YES…and she’s got loads of practical tips and personal anecdotes for how she’s created pockets of presence and unplugged hours in her daily family life today. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or straight up burnt out from being constantly connected...press play (and then put your phone away! Wink!).

Today’s episode of THRIVE is a little bit different…but hopefully still fun and still fruitful for you. Sharing a few voice memos off of my phone from the past few months - and they run the gamut from heavier and heartfelt to light and random (with a special guest appearance…).

We’ve ALL been there. The day kicks off and WHAM BAM it’s school pickup then sports then dinner then bedtime and wait, did I forget to pray today? Definitely didn’t have a warm cup of coffee with quiet Bible time…heck, my coffee was forgotten cold somewhere, probably in the microwave for the 8th time. If that sounds familiar, you’re in good company - and you’ll love today’s episode with our new friend, Kayla Craig. Kayla is a mom of four, author of Every Season Sacred and To Light Their Way, and the creator of Liturgies for Parents…which is an AWESOME resource with collections of prayers when you don’t have words or time yourself. In our conversation we talk about nurturing your family’s faith, the best ways to teach your kids to pray, how to make your LIFE a prayer, and all about BREATH prayers, which will feel like a breath of fresh air today - literally!

Friends…it’s time to talk friendships. Making (+ keeping!) girlfriends as grownups is a whole ‘nother level. So many of the stresses we faced on the playground or in the high school halls can somehow feel…alarmingly similar to thoughts racing through our brains as adults. Add to that changing seasons, growing families, different priorities and stages, and it’s like the Wild West out there, ladies! Female friendship coach, educator and author Danielle Bayard Jackson is on THRIVE today, and let us be the first to say - it’s one of our most FIRE episodes on friendship ever! How do you know when a friendship has run its course? When should you fight for the friendship - and how? What about those uncomfortable conversations or hard chats that need to be had? And can we talk about making NEW friends, too? There’s all that and then some, so buckle up and press play! THANKYOU to Cozy Earth for sponsoring today's episode of THRIVE!

Ever feel perpetually guilty for not doing more? Like no matter what you do or how hard you try, it’s simply never enough?
