    AP 295: Forge Your Own Path || with Preethi Harbuck Oct 28, 2020
    Show notes

    Are you guilty of looking around, comparing yourself to others, feeling less than, then choosing your path based on those (likely terrible) feelings? The goal of this interview is to help you understand that when you really thin, about it, almost everyone is doing something different from what you think of as the norm. You can forge your own path based on your unique values and by taking small risks that strengthen you.

    Preethi Harbuck is a wife and mother of 5 who travels the world (and right now the country by RV) with her family. With an emphasis on getting outside their comfort zones, welcoming differences, and connecting with one another this has been the exact right path for her family. World travel might not be in alignment with your family or individual culture, but her story can teach you something. Learn how to expand your view, live more abundantly in welcoming differences, and let go of the idea that there is one right way to do anything.

    AP 294: Embrace Nuance || Growth Spurt Oct 26, 2020
    Show notes

    Only once before have I woken up in the night writing an episode in my mind, and that was my big faith crisis episode. The subject of this episode is the second time that has happened. I grew up seeing things in a very binary way and over the years have experienced a huge shift that has allowed me to embrace nuance. This has affected all aspects of my life: my body, my morals, politics, and a whole lot more. This episode is my experience of how and why I have made this shift!

    I see so much value in allowing perspective, compromise, and nuance in lots of areas of our lives. You've heard me teach before about abandoning all-or-nothing thinking, and it so applies here. I hope that together we work towards seeing and embracing each other, our humanity, and our full human experience. Where I was once scared of nuance, and stuck to my safe space, I know see the huge opportunity for growth by leaning in more fully.

    AP 293: How To Maximize What You Do || with Heather Glenn Oct 21, 2020
    Show notes

    It's all too easy to look at our selves and pick apart the areas in which we lack, the areas where we feel most scarce. It is so much more important to see ourselves in abundance, by identifying our strengths. Whether you can rattle off a long list, or need help even finding one, this episode is for you. Learn how to shine a light on yourself, operate at your highest capacity, and how to maximize what you do.

    Heather Glenn is a coach who primarily helps people find their strengths and set long term goals. She shares her own story of feeling lost as a young mother, and how the shift to become the CEO of her family and herself ultimately changed everything. She will give you real ways to identify your strengths, and offers the gentle reminder that sometimes the most growth can come from within your own comfort zone. That means, when you focus on what you're good at, and grow those strengths, you increase your capacity for growth and success in all areas of your life. Tune in to hear how to do it and why it's so, so important.

    AP 292: How to Shift Your View of Money || with Janae Chandler Oct 14, 2020
    Show notes

    Though we're spending the whole month discussing living abundantly, this is the only interview specifically about money. Yep, money. That thing you're not supposed to talk about. If you're already uncomfortable, like me, you're probably living in a scarcity mindset. But, this conversation is not the place to look for permission or encouragement to spend frivolously. It is, however, about how to shift your view of money so that it truly aligns with your values.

    Janae Chandler teaches family finance at Brigham Young University and, admittedly, loves talking about money! To anyone, in any circumstance, at any time. She shares her own journey to reaching that point as well as her continuous efforts to budget and allow money to flow within her life and values. Her perspective on exchange and productivity will help you ease into a more abundant mindset. And for the listeners looking to get a jumpstart, check out her free class on budgeting. Sometimes we are so focused on money, that we forget all the other value in our life, and it's time to change that.

    AP 291: Live Abundantly || October's Theme Oct 07, 2020
    Show notes

    I once went down a long line of memories from my life due to a coaching prompt, in which I discovered my own feeling towards abundance. I explain further in the episode, but you may be able to do the same in an effort to understand if you are living abundantly, or in scarcity. You know me, so this is not some overnight dream-it-achieve-it speech. Instead I have 3 tips for shifting away from fear, and into feeling enough.

    Abundance does not mean excess, it does not only apply to material things, it is simply the idea of having enough. By valuing what you have, and what you are, as enough, you will feel the gratitude that comes with abundance.

    Though we will have an interview about money, the others this month will not be directly focused there. As you approach this theme in your life I hope to help you confidently say "come what may" and feel whole with that mindset.

    AP 290: Bonus Episode: How To Persevere When Spiritual Doors Seem Closed Oct 04, 2020
    Show notes

    It has been almost two years since I first publicly shared about my faith crisis. It was something that I had battled with in my mind for many years, but took a long time to share with close friends and family. And then I shared it on this podcast. The response was overwhelming and wonderful, and to this day I have talked with many of you about it. Today I bring the follow up, letting you know where I am now, and how to persevere when spiritual doors seem closed.

    Whether you have also questioned, or struggled with your faith, or if you haven't, I think my insight is worth listening to. For those who have felt like me, I have narrowed it down to 5 things that fuel my faith perseverance. They are not your typical answers, I hope they help guide you, too. For those that don't understand this type of struggle, I hope you listen and it will help you when you cross paths with someone like me.

    I believe that unity is not all having the same thoughts, but is having the same purpose. We are all lost lambs seeking each other. I am different AND I am enough, and so are you.

    AP 289: Ways To Reconnect After Porn Use In Marriage || with Darcy Spafford Sep 30, 2020
    Show notes

    The best perk of this podcasting gig is getting to connect with the listeners here. Seriously, I cannot wait until there is a time when we can all meet in person again! Every email, comment, review, DM, that I get means so much. Over the years I've heard your successes and your struggles, and one in particular pained me to not know how to personally address. And that is, ways to reconnect after porn use in marriage.

    When Darcy Spafford, a regular member of this community, reached out to discuss this topic I was thrilled. She is a homeschooling mom of 8 kids who has been married for almost 20 years. After navigating pornography in their marriage for the majority of that time, her and her husband now share openly to help couples reconnect after porn use in their marriages.

    Honestly, her tips for rebuilding could serve every relationship - porn use or not. Her message of hope is that once she handed responsibility back to her husband, she felt powerful again. Through working on herself, finding her own happiness again, she says "It's so much easier to love someone else when you love yourself." Tune in for her other tips and to learn how their marriage is right now.

    AP 288: What To Do When You Hate Sex || with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife Sep 23, 2020
    Show notes

    After seven appearances now on the podcast, your fan favorite is here to discuss a previously less talked about, but integral, part of her work: sex. It was at her "Art of Desire" workshop that I first met Jennifer, and through continued work and conversation with her personally and on the podcast I know that her work is transformative. So let's get into it, what to do when you hate sex.

    Dr. Finlayson-Fife is a coach and psychotherapist who works predominantly with members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this episode she lends her expertise on intimacy between married couples, with the foundational belief that it matters to more to belong to our sense of self, than to have sex.

    This episode is for you if you have developed emotional disinterest, disgust, even the physical inability to have sex. There is hope to rebuild. Learn how to let go of any "transactional" ways of thinking about sex and lean into your own sensual nature. It's not quick or easy, but it is possible to change this for yourself and your relationship!

    AP 287: Stopping vs. Quitting || Growth Spurt Sep 18, 2020
    Show notes

    In the world of self-development you may have convinced yourself to never give up, or some other undying mantra. But I say, it's okay to stop! Because it's different than quitting. When it comes to stopping vs. quitting I want to help you put words to why, when, and how.

    Quitting is giving up out of frustration by lack of results. It's giving up too soon, driven by fear, shame and self doubt. Stopping is ending what you're doing because it's not right for the here and now. It is intentional.

    In this episode I share how I quit dancing, but how I recently stopped the Progress Program. I have different feelings towards each experience, and that includes how I have and will approach resuming them. When you stop, you'll know it was a hard call, but still the right call. If you're struggling with the decision, tune in for 3 questions to ask yourself for first.
