Heroes For Her

Most women struggle with things like insecurity, comparison, or trying to measure up to the world’s impossible standard of beauty. They’ve questioned their ability to live well, lead effectively, and own their influence to positively impact the next generation of confident, compassionate and capable women.

Women need a place to gather, and grow, so they can guide the girls they love to know their value, live on purpose, and make the unique difference in the world they were born to make.

Welcome to the Heroes For Her podcast with Erin Weidemann!

In this podcast, Erin tackles the issues that matter most to women: the mothers and mentors of the next generation. From overcoming fear to walking in purpose to shifting the focus of feminine value from beauty to inherent worth, Erin gets real about the reality of female life and leadership.

Join Erin as she inspires you each week by sharing personal stories as well as interviewing real women; positive role models whose lives and leadership are making a difference.

EP 65: Crystal Stine – Holy Hustle May 16, 2018

Show notes

"The work is good, and the rest is holy. Be still." Yes! Today's guest is Heroes For Her alumna, Crystal Stine. We had Crystal on the show back in March 2016 and I love that we got to catch up today because so much has happened since our original interview. Crystal makes her living as a writer. She's the author of "Creative Basics: 30 Days to Awesome Social Media Art," creator of the popular "Clarity Coaching" Course, editor of "Craving Connection" and host of the annual Write 31 Days challenge. Most recently, she is encouraging women everywhere to pursue holy hustle - a work hard, rest well lifestyle that chases faith instead of fame. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband Matt and their six-year-old daughter, Madi. Some generations pride themselves on their strong work ethic. Other generations chase happiness. The "world" promotes 24/7 hustle as a necessity to success, while Christians avoid the word and prefer rest. Crystal's been working to unpack what "hustle" truly means and why it shouldn't be feared, using Scripture, personal stories, and reader reflections. I'm so excited for you to hear today's episode.

EP 64: Shaunti Feldhahn– Finding Rest May 03, 2018

Show notes

"We can find rest for our 'inner souls'—a place of true, Christ-centered peace and joy. It really is possible." ? Today's guest is Shaunti Feldhahn. Shaunti is a popular speaker, best-selling author, and groundbreaking social researcher. Her findings have been featured in media as diverse as Focus on the Family, FamilyLife Today, the New York Times and Cosmo. With a master's degree from Harvard University, Shaunti has worked on Wall Street and Capitol Hill. Now she applies her analytical skills to helping people and relationships thrive. She and her husband, Jeff, live in Atlanta with their two children. Shaunti's journey with the Lord has inspired her research over many years. Recently, she's been studying both what the Bible says and what science says about finding true rest as it relates to the stress and worry we face as women. We know that being "busy" has become a status symbol in American life, but the fact is that for women there's no avoiding it. How can we manage to rest well amidst all of our roles and responsibilities? Shaunti teamed up with iDisciple to create Find Rest: A Women's Devotional For Lasting Peace In a Busy Life, one of the most important and stunningly beautiful devotionals I've ever read. It's a cross between a devotional, journal, bible study and a simple resource that covers the topic of rest. The devotional contains eight essential elements for rest. Build only on Rock ? Live according to your design ? Set aside superwoman ? Connect with God ? Shift your perspective ? Create life-giving relationships ? Walk in obedience ? Have no fear ? I loved my conversation with Shaunti today and I know you will too.

In May 2018, FamilyLife is launching its first full-length feature movie, Like Arrows. It started as a parenting resource, and in today's episode Bob shares what it was like taking it all the way to the big screen. The movie's title, Like Arrows, is drawn from a passage in Scripture, Psalm 127:3-5. Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! Parenting is a blessing, and it's also a great responsibility. We are called to raise the children God has given us and launch them with aim into the world. Brent and I were blessed to be able to watch Like Arrows a few weeks ago and it affected both of us in several ways. What an incredible power we have as parents to shape the next generation! The two-day release of Like Arrows is May 1 and 3 and you can head to http://familylifeministries.org/likearrows/ to view the trailer, find a theatre near you, and purchase tickets.

Jenni's got a lot going on - she is a writer, speaker, and leadership expert and her passion is to lead well and to inspire, equip and encourage others to do the same. Listen in for Jenni's answers to the following questions: Why do you feel like God called you to study leadership and work to equip leaders with the tools they need to be effective? Where is your work as a leadership expert taking you these days? What's been a recent memorable team or group of leaders you've worked with? What trends do you see in the space of women and leadership? What are you noticing about women in the work you do? How do you see what you've learned over the past several years translating to women who have yet to grow up (the next generation of female leaders)? Who are the people who have had the greatest impact on not only the work you do but the person you are? Something you said the last time you were here really stuck with me. It was "if you want to lead people, you have to learn how to love people." How do you see that applying to women in leadership and the roles God has carved out for them?

Show notes

"Lead with peace." My guest for today's episode is the amazing Elise Boggs. We had Elise on the podcast about a year ago and I'm honored that she's back dive deeper into her passion: to equip the next generation of marketplace leaders to change the world. As a university professor and accomplished coach, Elise has trained leaders in industries ranging from non-profits and government to medicine and the military. She's worked in the United States as well as led teams all over the world including the United Kingdom, India, South Africa and Australia. Last time Elise was here, we talked mostly about emotional intelligence which is a key component to great leadership. If you missed that episode, you can scroll back through our past episodes and EP 20. Questions Elise answers during today's interview are below. Do you feel that every person has the potential to be a great leader? Who had a significant influence in shaping you as a leader? Kids we know have a natural curiosity and they ask sooooooo many questions. Sometimes, that can be overwhelming (and even annoying) to parents. But questioning, we know, is central to effective leadership. What would you say to the parent who is overwhelmed by all the questions? Leaders are excellent communicators. What are some ways parents can help their kids express and communicate ideas and emotions well? Who are some of the leaders that inspire you? If you could give one piece of advice to parents who want to develop leadership skills in their children, what would it be?
