Show notes

EPISODE 189 - Andy and Kayla Izard from The Raft Project - Building a Safe Community Where you Can Be REAL
This movement is a place
to let our walls down.
No hidden agendas. No pitches, preachers, or pledges. Just supporting others and allowing them to support us. We're building relationships with people who know us and genuinely care about us.
Our goal is to make connection a little easier – a tad less scary.
The Book: Good, and You?
Why is connection, vulnerability, and support so damn hard sometimes? How can we have more access to each other than ever, and still be so lonely? What will it take for us to open up about the things that actually matter?
In this lively manifesto/guidebook on connection, we'll talk about:
How to find safe people
If anyone even wants to support us
Why self-care isn't enough
How to protect ourselves and connect
How to start those deep conversations
If you’re ready to start working towards a new normal, this may be the book for you. Build your raft. We'd love for you to be a part of ours.

E188 - Rick Cua - Musician and Author of What Are You Known For - A Thirty One Day Journal Around Legacy Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

EPISODE 188 - Rick Cua - Musician and Author of What Are You Known For - A Thirty One Day Journal Around Legacy
In a society that seeks fame and fortune above all, Rick Cua’s simple mission – to share the love of God through music – is a cool drink of water in a dry land. Add to that wide-ranging experience and wisdom gained from over thirty nine years in music ministry and business, along with a gift of encouragement and you have the components of an artist, teacher and speaker with a passion for helping others find their fullness in Christ.
Currently, Rick focuses his time on front-line ministry at Grace Chapel in Franklin, TN. He stays active in music through speaking, writing and publishing along with playing and recording with his long time band, Blues Counsel and recently releasing his 3rd book, What Are You Known For? 31-Day Devotional & Journal. All this to support his personal mission of sharing the power of God’s Word through music, the written and spoken word and hands on ministry.
Rick’s career as a musician has always carried the hallmark of an artist who passionately holds on to his Biblical convictions and communicates uplifting and straightforward messages to his audience. All of his songs are written with the intent to ultimately point to Christ.
“Music is such a motivator. When you put the truth in music, and you hit that emotional nerve, it works,” explains Rick. “I feel called to build people up. My goal is to take the Word and Godly principles and attach it to music that is going to get them excited, and want to sing along and want to believe in what they are hearing and what they are singing…as an artist, that’s what it’s all about.”
To that end, Rick continues to write and record new songs that have been born out of a progressive artistic vision. His involvement in the burgeoning praise and worship community over the years is definitely having an impact.
“Many of the songs I write are anthemic in nature; big choruses and a message that's motivating and uplifting. My hope has always been that after listening or singing along people will feel better about life, themselves and about the power of God working in and through them”
Originally from Syracuse, New York, Rick’s Italian heritage is apparent in his first instrument—as a young boy, he started on the accordion. He eventually moved on to the piano, trumpet, clarinet, guitar, and eventually settled on the bass—and rock music. Membership in early bands fed his musical obsession, and led to paying gigs by age 14 and an inevitable career choice.

Show notes

EPISODE 186 - Alyssa Berthiaume - Ghost Writing, Authoring Your Story and The Role of A.I. for Authors
Our guest:
I’m a professional writer, native Vermonter, practicing feminist, recovering middle child, wannabe superhero, and a mom who’s pretty sure she’s “winging it”. I’ve wanted to be a writer my whole life so it’s pretty damn cool that I made it. I’m the author of Dear Universe, I Get it Now: Letters on the Art and Journey of Being Brave and Being Me – which pretty much tells the whole story of my journey to this place.
I hold an M.F.A. in creative writing and am the Lady Boss Owner of The Write Place, Right Time, my virtual boutique of ghostwriting services. I pretty much spend all my time over there now, so you should go check it out.
If you can catch me not writing or thinking about writing, I’m probably drinking Maple Lattes, adding more books to my must-read list, watching The Princess Bride for the thousandth time, or solving a crime in the latest Hunt a Killer box set.

E185 - Miri Camphausen - A Children's book on How Four Misfit Animals Work Together Jun 14, 2023

Show notes

EPISODE 185 - Miri Camphausen - A Children's book on How Four Misfit Animals Work Together
How can we heal ourselves? How can we tap into inner contentment? How can we move forward as humanity? How can we heal the planet?
I believe, the answers lie within each single one of us. To uncover our personal truth, we need to courageously face our inner selves; including the parts we don’t like.
… because, we all hold within us the darkness and the light.
Are you willing to fully see yourself? Are you ready to uncover the hidden? Do you want to return love and joy into your life?
It takes courage and stamina to step onto the path of self-realization. I know this, I’ve been there, and, actually, I still am. It has not always been easy. Still, I moved on, because I was inspired by others who told me ‘there will be light’. This kept me going. I am forever grateful for the souls helping me on my path!
This is why I share my own journey with you to inspire you, give you courage, bless you with faith, and the trust in your abilities. You are not alone in this. You can do this. I believe in you.
The Book: Heroes of the Quest - An Impossible Team
“Team! I am your leader on this Quest! Follow me!”
From the outset of their adventure, Master Mouse is hampered by his hilarious and calamitous teammates who don’t even recognize him as their leader. A mouse, a giraffe, a slug and … a pig ?!?
All perfectly imperfect, how can they possible compete against the mighty lions? Will they even finish the final challenge of Quest School?
Find out what really matters in the end …

E184 - Iris Angellys - Your Body is Trying To Tell You Something - Slow Down and Listen Jun 12, 2023

Show notes

EPISODE 184 - Iris Angellys - Your Body is Trying To Tell You Something - Slow Down and Listen
DISCOVER THE NEW WAYS FOR WOMEN TO BE *IN* THE WORLD
“Passion to Thrive” is jam-packed full of insights and tools for you to discover your own depth, passion and purpose.
You can use it as a text, or you could take up the invitation of diving deep by using it as a work book and write your own answers on the pages provided.
I have also created a series of meditations that will help you become familiar with the archetypes and the energy, power and guidance they provide so you can draw on them as you need to.
This is especially useful for the ones you are currently unaware of or not used to drawing on.
The divine feminine has been suppressed in the Western world for centuries now, and as a result of our disregard for it and for Mother Earth we now live in a time of impending global catastrophe. We get bombarded with bad news all the time. Business-as-usual is just no longer an option.
So how can we respond to this situation?
How can women reclaim the breadth and depth of our worth and our unique way of being, experiencing, feeling and acting in the world, when up until recently we have been restricted and constrained in what we have been allowed to be and do?
In this book, Annika looks at different archetypes that can guide us through difficult situations and circumstances back to our own magnificent selves and to the divine feminine.
Each archetype has a particular way of being in the world, and it can inspire you to approach old, gnarly problems and situations in a new way.
Each archetype will guide and empower you to explore a different side to yourself, and allow you to realize what your strengths, talents and skills are and what gives your life meaning, passion and purpose.
Realize how you can live the most fulfilling life you can imagine for yourself by offering up your unique gift to the world, which you may not even have realized you had!

E183 - Kristina Bak - When The Character You Are Writing About Reaches Out and Touches You Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

EPISODE 183 - Kristina Bak - When The Character You Are Writing About Reaches Out and Touches You
Kristina Bak grew up in the Pacific Northwest, dropped out of Reed College in 1969, and spent enough years hiking in the North Cascades to graduate from Western Washington University in Bellingham. She explored utopias via Paolo Soleri’s Arcosanti and the University of New Mexico. A graduate degree in architecture at the University of Washington earned her a Fulbright year in Rome before she moved to Australia with her husband and six-month-old daughter for three years. Back in the US, the family lived on Bainbridge Island until Kristina graduated from Antioch, Seattle, with an MA in psychology. They moved to Bend, Oregon, in 1993. Since that time, Kristina has worked as a mental health therapist, taught qigong, and sojourned in Sydney again as a ghostwriter, among other things. She took her first Argentine Social Tango class in 2010, and like countless others, is addicted to the dance.

Show notes

EPISODE 182 - Reverend Rita M. Henderson The Spiritual Midwife and Author of 30 Days to Increased Faith
ABOUT ME
I am a four time Amazon best-selling author, speaker and self-publishing coach who helps Five-Fold Ministers plant the seeds of confidence, harvest their self-faith and clarify their life’s vision so that they can birth faith based businesses that serve, scale and succeed.
Also known as The Spiritual Midwife, I have taught hundreds of ministers how to birth their purpose and monetize their God ordained talents and acquired skill set by building successful faith-based businesses.
From coaching women on how to launch membership communities to providing hopeful entrepreneurs with the foundational tools to build profitable businesses, I continue to answer the call to assist fellow ministers in pursuing profit-generating, purpose-driven paths.
My own blossoming stemmed from a divine moment in 2011 that drove me away from the roads of hardship – $100K in debt, a foreclosed home and car repossession despite my having a good yet unfulfilling government job – and steered me straight into my own profitable faith-based business that allows me to live the emotionally, spiritually and financially free life that I have always dreamed of.
I am a renowned speaker and two-time best-selling Amazon author of 30 Days to Increased Faith: Increase Your Faith, Attract Gods Attention and Achieve Your Dreams and coauthor of the I RISE: Living Beyond the Bruises anthology.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Management and a master’s degree in Theology, I deliver soul-stirring sermons, workshops and on line bible study courses that wash away the muddy waters of hesitation and self-doubt, all so the divinely inspired can pave the path to passion and purpose.

E181 - Jacqueline Williams, Author of By His Grace - A Memoir about surviving childhood domestic and sexual assault Jun 05, 2023

Show notes

E181 - Jacqueline Williams, Author of By His Grace - A Memoir about surviving childhood domestic and sexual assault
Have you suffered as a result of a childhood trauma?
Does the pain and memory of those events still haunt you?
Are you struggling to see how it will ever improve?
The events of any childhood trauma are significant and when they aren’t addressed they can have a continued impact on the rest of our lives. Many people bury their feelings, suppress memories and hope that things will magically improve if they can simply forget about it and move on. But overcoming childhood trauma isn’t as impossible as it may first seem and this book aims to help you come to terms with it.
Inside the pages of By His Grace, author Jacqueline Williams recounts her own experiences of being beaten and sexually assaulted as a child, with chapters that are aimed at helping you to:
Find the support you need
Make sense of what happened
Prevent the incident from overwhelming your identity
Understand that it wasn’t your fault
See the reality of the situation
Use your experiences as a positive
And more…
It is Jacqueline’s belief that anyone can overcome childhood trauma when they have the right support with which to do so. From her own dark early years to transiting through the pain and eventually emerging on the other side, her book is one of survival.
And she wants you to do the same. To face the trauma you experienced head on, talk openly about it and know that you are never alone in your journey towards happiness.
