Stay ConnectedHas something simple ever changed your life? A lunch box note changed mine. A few years ago, my husband wrote a timely message to our son that said: BE STRONG, PROTECT THE WEAK, LOVE EVERYONE. Those six words ignited our family’s mission to love others well.
Each week on Be Love. Do Good. podcast, we’ll share ideas, encouraging words, and stories that inspire you to love outside your comfort zone.

We laugh a lot and tell our funny breast feeding stories. We know you moms, can relate! Those loud machines ya’ll!
The core of our conversation is about how to love others well by creating an open heart and learning how to look at everyone as beautiful creations. She talks alot about curiosity and how being intentional to see others as teachers in her life has helped change her views on having to always be right.
We talked about how loving others is keeping an open heart when others think differently than us. She talks about practicing everyday to listen and have an open heart to others, which is not something that comes natural to her. She gives us some incredible advice on this (starts at 13:10). We discuss how we are both giver and receivers, creating kinship with others.
She talks about how to have dignified and uplifting conversations with others who think differently than us. (19:51)
She talks about how commitment is her love language and helping these girls go to University in Uganda was not an option NOT TO DO! (30:00)
The last question about how she has experienced a small act of kindness and love is powerful. (35:00)

(Talking about Radical Kinship)
Today I talk with Noonday Founder and CEO Jessica Honegger. She is so fun and funny to talk with. We talk about how she is courageously accepting herself and in turn that helps her celebrate others well. Celebrating our own flaws and loving our whole selves helps us have freedom to love others well. We laugh a lot, but there are so many nuggets of truth about loving ourselves with authenticity so we love others well. We talk about rest and hustle, and she tells a great story of loving others intentionally when we may feel insecure ourselves. We talk about staying in the uncomfortable and being vulnerable. She gives us some practical steps to accept ourselves and others. Jessica has written a book all about this called Imperfect Courage which is one of my favorite books of the year.

We had such fun talking about what it was like this year as his wife Rachel’s book Girl, Wash Your Face, was a topseller and what that felt like. We talk about what it looks like to have patient trust, their journey of adoption and fostering, and how that experience set them up for what they are doing now. We share our hearts for helping our kids get out of their comfort zone so they can be exposed to other people’s stories, and show love and empathy for those who have had different experiences. We also discuss something he has never talked about which is the Hollis Co. Foundation and how they are giving back with their success. 3 ways they are showing up for different communities: Veterans Women Children in Care (foster care) You won’t want to miss this one.
We look to the future and see what is coming down the pipe for Hollis Co. and Rachel Hollis this year.
