Here is Your Permission Slip! Apr 19, 2024

In this raw and vulnerable episode of "The Make Room Show," I'm opening up about the reasons behind an unexpected six-week hiatus. I'm giving you insights on some personal struggles with burnout professionally, and a harrowing near-death experience that forced me to confront the unsustainable pace of my life and reevaluate my priorities. Instead of allowing myself to feel guilty for stepping back to care for myself, I gave myself a PERMISSION SLIP - to slow down, take necessary breaks, and focus on self-care. Real strength lies in recognizing one’s limits and taking steps to address them before reaching a crisis point - which I had to learn the hard way. My hope is that through being vulnerable and sharing this with you, I can inspire you to make similar choices towards a healthier, more balanced life.

I'm taking the next couple of weeks to really dive deep into what all these recent events mean for me and my life. I'll be keeping you updated on this journey as things unfold because you, my dear listeners, truly deserve to hear this insight. I'm not entirely sure what's going to emerge from this period of reflection, but I feel it's going to be significant, different, and hopefully, a lot easier.

During this time, you might notice that I'm not as active on social media, and the posts that do appear might be just simple snapshots of life with my family and friends. I'm stepping back from the constant hustle, the endless to-dos we all think we need to accomplish daily. It's become clear that this rat race isn't making us happier, and that needs to change. So, let's focus on what really matters—our happiness and well-being. Thank you for your understanding and support. I love you all so much.

About Brandi

"One day, back in 2016, I woke up to a life I never saw coming. The life and family I’d spent 20 years building stopped on a dime. My marriage was over. The church I’d spent years pouring into was no longer part of my life. My community, friends and professional life disappeared in a day’s time. Devastated but determined to create a life that finally felt like my own, I faced my healing journey head-on. I discovered the truth of my experience and learned how to develop a redemptive perspective of my suffering. My life isn’t perfect and my work isn’t done, but I have worked hard to allow my suffering to become a survival guide for others who are walking through emotional turmoil, devastation and heartbreak... I’m a Certified Personal and Executive Coach with The CaPP Institute (Coaching and Positive Psychology) as well as a Professional Coach with Blessing Ranch Ministries where she uses the Unhindered Model to bring healing, freedom, and power to your heart and life. I also co-authored a book with my BFF, Lori Wilhite, Leading and Loving It: Encouragement for Pastors’ Wives and Women in Leadership. My work with Leading and Loving It empowers women in ministry and leadership to develop healthy relationships with themselves so that they can build healthy families, churches, and communities..."

158 | What They Don't Tell You About Menopause: Intermittent Fasting and More w/ Laurie Lewis May 31, 2023

This episode is NOT just for women! Guys, let's start learning how to support the females in our lives through this life-changing experience: menopause.

Join us on the Make Room Show today as we dive into the topic of menopause and overall health with our guest, Laurie Lewis. For this health coach, menopause dealt a crushing blow -- brain fog, pain, memory loss, and the sudden gain of 50 pounds of stubborn hormonal fat. She tried everything she knew to feel better, and the methods that worked in the past made no difference.

After struggling for years she suddenly stumbled upon Intermittent Fasting which turned the course of her life. She started having an “eating window” that very same day, and in less than a week the menopausal fog lifted and she felt more like herself. Laurie restored her health and comfortable weight, and at 60-years old has changed thousands of lives around the world through her group programs, 1:1 personal coaching sessions, and is recognized as the go-to Intermittent Fasting expert.

Talking points:

1. Laurie's personal journey and how she discovered the importance of fueling her body well, eventually becoming a health coach.

2. "Not-foods"

3. Laurie's experience of entering perimenopause and how it affected her physical and mental well-being.

4. Her discovery of the power of intermittent fasting in balancing hormones, reducing inflammation, and promoting mental clarity.

In this conversation, Laurie emphasizes that intermittent fasting is not a one-size-fits-all approach. She encourages a gentle and consistent approach tailored to individual needs, lifestyle, and goals. She also addresses the misconception that menopause is an inevitable decline and highlights the possibility of feeling healthier and more vibrant during this phase of life.

Join us as we delve into the physical and emotional benefits of intermittent fasting during perimenopause and explore how this practice can empower women to take control of their health. Whether you're already familiar with intermittent fasting or curious about its potential, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to make room for clarity and health in your life.

154 | Motherhood Redefined with Jenna Worthen May 04, 2023

On Today's episode of the Make Room Show, we dive into all things Motherhood.

First off, have you ever noticed how society rarely uses the term "working dad"? It's as if fatherhood doesn't require the same level of work and commitment as motherhood. Well, let me tell you, being a mother is hard work, and we deserve the recognition for it.

We're constantly told that we need to "have it all," but what does that even mean? Society's expectations of what we should achieve as mothers can be overwhelming and unrealistic. It's time to redefine what "having it all" means to us individually and strive for a more authentic approach to motherhood.

As mothers, we need to be authentic and vulnerable with our struggles, so we can build a supportive community. It's okay to admit that we don't have all the answers and that we need help sometimes.

We also talk about how we can stop being so bothered by the little things that don't matter. Most of our expectations are just that - expectations. We need to let go of the pressure we put on ourselves to be perfect and embrace imperfection as a part of the journey.

We also need to stop judging other moms because we are all in this shared human experience. The label of "mother" means so many things, and we each have our own unique way of navigating it. Let's celebrate our differences and support each other instead of tearing each other down.

Speaking of labels, how about embracing our "becoming" as a mother? It's a constant journey of growth and self-discovery. We should be proud of how far we've come and excited about where we're headed.

For empty nesters, it's a new phase of life that can be both exciting and scary. It's important to take time to reflect on our accomplishments as a mother and focus on self-care rituals that will actually help us.

Finally, let's not forget that how we were mothered can affect how we mother our own children. It's important to recognize any patterns or habits that we may have inherited and actively work to break the cycle if necessary.

So there you have it, moms. A lot to think about and reflect on. Let's continue to support each other on this journey and remember to take care of ourselves along the way.

Jenna Worthen is the author of Mom Who Works and founder and chief curator
for an online, global organization of the same name. Exhausted by the label “working mom” and all the things that come with it—unnecessary bias, mom guilt, lesser pay and career mobility, and more—Worthen sought a new identifier for women who work. Thus, the phrase “mom who works” was born.
The Mom Who Works community serves more than 2,500 women who want to redefine what it means to be a working mom in a world without working dads. Focused on the intersection of motherhood and careerhood, Mom Who Works hosts in-person events, digital retreats, and weekly engagement and discussion with more than 2,500 women through its platforms on Instagram, Facebook and email.
Worthen is a mom who works as CEO and founder of James Martin Company, helping candidates and nonprofits create and implement intentional development strategies. She has served as chief storyteller for an Oklahoma City–based nonprofit and was a cofounder of the 111Project, a nonprofit that serves children and families in foster care.
Worthen earned her master’s in political management from the George Washington University and her undergraduate degree in politics and law from Southern Nazarene University. She lives in Oklahoma with her husband and three children—Bobby, Jake, and June—and a dog named Nicey, who rescued them.

153 | Creating Your Tribe: Grow Your Support System and Enhance Your Life Apr 27, 2023

Today's episode of the Make Room Show discusses the importance of surrounding yourself with a group of like-minded individuals, and how to do just that. Your community is your tribe! They will support you, help you achieve your goals, and enhance your overall well-being.

As a professional organizer and life coach, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible impact that finding your tribe can have on your life. Having a supportive community can make all the difference in every area of your life.

In this episode, we delve into the steps you can take to find and create YOUR own tribe, from identifying your passions and values to seeking out like-minded individuals in your local community or online. We also discuss the benefits of joining groups and communities, such as increased motivation, accountability, and a sense of belonging.

Join us as we explore the power of creating your tribe and how it can help you achieve your goals and lead a more fulfilling life. So, put on your headphones, grab a notebook, and let's get started on this journey of building your tribe!

How to find or create a tribe:

Church, kids’s parents, networking group, meet up, starting a group of your own (bible study, book club, wine night)
The people in your tribe do not have to be 100% similar to you so expand your vision. Look for the character of the person: are they honest with you, do they have a high level of integrity?

How to make time for a tribe

Don’t feel guilty taking time away from your family for this
Be intentional: make plans ahead of time, call in the car, text, Facetime, be ok w saying I’ll call you back or I only have 10 mins
Meeting in person is KEY
Find ways to incorporate your friends into the things you already want or need to do (walks, gym, Costco)
Make it a PRIORITY

3. How a tribe can add value to your life:

1. Share your highs and lows

2. Someone to create memories with, help you to grow

EPISODE 138: Stumbling Toward the Sacred with Jeremy Downs Nov 30, 2022

My guest today shares his near-death experience with us and how it increased his faith and gave him a closer look at God. Like many believers, Jeremy Downs was done with empty religion and heard-them-before “motivational speaking” sermons. He wanted to experience a spirituality that sparked life, one that was meaningful.

He tried switching churches. He tried praying. Somehow, God was always at arm’s length, distant and untouchable.

Then Jeremy took a pile of Amanita muscaria mushrooms—a legal substance known to deepen perspective and creativity. Although he hadn’t taken them to solve his spiritual longings, they sent him in an unexpected direction. An accidental overdose nearly killed him, taking him.

EPISODE 133: How to Create a Vision For Your Life Oct 27, 2022

This episode is all about how to create a vision for your life. If you can not visualize your endpoint, how will you know how to get there, and how will you know when you have arrived?

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to daydream about your life? When I was a little girl I LOVED to climb trees. I remember sitting up on that branch and just imagining what my life would be like when I was grown up. It was a really fun thing to do. As a mom, our lives are busy and filled each day with responsibilities. But taking time to create a vision for your life is a great starting point for building the life that you truly want. Think about your future and ask yourself what you would like it to look like. Don't set any limitations on yourself. If you can't dream it, you can't do it!

EPISODE 130: Simple Meal Prep for the Busy Woman Oct 11, 2022

FREE masterclass: Create An Organized & Purposeful Life

Hi Moms!!! Today I am tackling MEAL PREP! I know this is not everyone’s favorite topic, but it is a very important one that, using the tips I talk about in this episode, might make it not be so bad after all!

I know you are all so busy, so I am all about keeping it SIMPLE. But in order to make this happen, you have to schedule time for meal prep and for grocery shopping. You need to look at your schedules and carve out a day per week, or a day every 2 weeks where you can get your big shopping done. Then if you need a couple of small things during the week, maybe your husband or an older child could pick it up for you.

When putting your groceries away, putting the new items in the back and bringing the older items to the front is a good way to make sure your food doesn’t go to waste. If you have fruits and vegetables that are going to go bad soon, juice them or freeze them and use them in smoothies. Also, having your fruits and vegetables washed and cut up, in the fridge ready to go, is a huge time saver for later in the week on those busy days.

EPISODE 131: How to Practice Stewardship in Your Home Oct 11, 2022

FREE masterclass: Create An Organized & Purposeful Life

I love today's topic: Practicing Stewardship! I think stewardship is one of the most beautiful things in the world. The Bible says we are to be stewards of this world. We are responsible for managing what God has given us. He has given us so much and put so much in our hands. It is amazing! And most importantly, He has placed His trust in us.

It is important to ask yourself, "Am I being a good steward with all that God has given me? With all the blessings, with all the things I have prayed for?" Maybe you've prayed for your first home, a new car, a spouse, or children to fill your home. So now when you look at your life, and look at all the things that God has given you and answered your prayers with, are you showing God that you are a good steward with these things? This is a very powerful question to ask yourself because if you're not, should God bless you with more? If you're not able to appreciate and take care of what you have already received, should He give you more? What would you do with more?

One way to become a better steward is to shift your mindset from ownership to one of management. The thought of managing things compared to owning things changes everything. It is such a different perspective. You move away from not just being the owner of a home but the manager of a home as well. And as a manager or steward, you start asking yourself, what would God want me to do with this home, this car, or this family? And how would God want me to treat this? Instead of holding onto things you no longer need, you start to look for ways to share them. You invest in what He has entrusted to you and has given to you. This may be a completely different outlook on life than you may have had before.

Stewardship to me is showing God that I am grateful for the things he has already made me responsible for, the things He thinks I am capable of taking care of. Being a good steward also shows God that I can handle more. I know and I trust myself to be a good steward with what comes next and what other additional blessings God has in store for me. This is how I want all of you to feel.

Practicing stewardship is not always easy and is not always convenient but it is imperative if you want to be a person that lives on purpose. What would a good steward of the things you have look like? Tune in to hear the questions you can ask yourself to see if you are being a good steward with what you have now, and the 4 steps you can take to become a better steward.

This is a topic I am super passionate about. For more information on practicing stewardship, check out Chapter 7 in my newest book: Make Room!

126 | How Does Clutter Affect Your Health with Julie Barton Jul 21, 2022

How does clutter affect your health? Has this question ever crossed your mind? Please welcome our guest, Julie Barton, author of the book, The Clutter-Health Connection, as she unravels the impact clutter could be having on your physical and mental well-being.

It’s not just about wanting your house to look beautiful so you can have people over. It’s about being healthy in your space. Feeling like you can do what you need to do without feeling the oppression or claustrophobia that can come with having too much stuff in your space.

Clutter in your home is an ongoing stressor that you can’t escape. When we are under a lot of stress, our cortisol levels rise. When these levels stay high for an extended period of time, we are going to start having physical health issues. The clutter can also affect your mental health as well. It may be causing you embarrassment or shame. It may be causing you to lose sleep, feel depressed, or over-eat. It can cause fogginess in your mind. There are countless health effects both mentally and physically that this clutter could be having on you.

If you don’t think your clutter is causing you stress, find a cluttered area in your home and stare at it for 5 minutes. Write down how you feel. Then clean up that same area and organize it, remove the excess, and put everything in its home. Now be in the space for 5 minutes and write down how you feel.

Clutter is a huge energy drain. It is a never-ending narrative in your mind telling you, you should do this or, you should do that. You feel exhausted in your own space. Your clutter is telling you that you don’t follow through on things, you don’t complete tasks. Over time you start believing this. You start to feel like a failure.

Even though it is so hard at times, it is worth putting in the effort to feel the healthful benefits; being able to breathe, and not having your stuff be another thing on your list to manage and take care of. And when we are constantly letting stuff dictate how we feel every day and dictate our thoughts and energy level, we have very little to put into our everyday life. We are not being intentional. We are being a slave to our stuff and that is not any way to live.

125 | Organizing Tips for the Baseball Mom Jul 10, 2022

OK, are you a baseball mom? If so, this is the episode for you! I have been one for over 17 years and I can't wait to share the organizing tips that keep me sane!

This post is for you sisters of the game! Although it will also be useful for moms who spend a lot of time traveling for other sports with their kids.

I will start with a little bit about my background as a baseball mom...

I started getting into baseball when my high school sweetheart, now hubby Josh, played and I got roped into being the scorekeeper because spring was a season I personally sport free because I was busy as a dancer. After high school, Josh went on to play college baseball up until he was signed to play with a professional team in Canada. (ironically Josh's Grandpa was a Canadian that got signed to play pro ball in the US).

So I was watching a lot of baseball before our son Bryceton was even born! But on February 28, 2005, it was revealed to me that I would most likely be watching way more baseball when our son Bryceton was born.

So it began, the games, Josh coaching multiple teams, the tryouts, the travel and now this summer is the busiest of all. The summer before senior year.

We will be living out of our suitcases most of the summer so I thought I would share what I have learned and how I stay organized in hopes of helping the next moms coming up into this world of baseball.

We will be living out of our suitcases most of the summer so I thought I would share what I have learned and how I stay organized in hopes of helping the next moms coming up into this world of baseball.

Do you have a book in your heart that you want to write? Is it something you’ve always dreamed about doing? Tune in and hear about my journey as an author… If I can do it, you can too!!! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

As we are going through the preorder season for my newest book, Make Room, I’ve been thinking a lot about my journey as an author. When I started, I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. No one taught me how to do this. I’m really hoping that my story will encourage you, inspire you, and teach you to keep on going. NEVER GIVE UP!

On July 5^th my SIXTH book will be coming out into the world. I can’t believe it. I am so excited! If someone had told me 15 years ago that this would be happening, I would never have believed them. I didn’t even know then that this was going to be part of my journey, but it is happening.

Something else I didn’t know then, that I do know now, is that preorders are HUGE in this industry! I would be very grateful if you would please check out my newest baby here: Make Room: Take Control of Your Space, Time, Energy, and Money to Live on Purpose: Berry, Jennifer Ford: 9781540902153: Amazon.com: Books.

EPISODE 122: How to Live as a Purpose Driven Mom and Business Owner with Jennifer McDaniel Jun 02, 2022

Are you ready to make a change in your life?

Have you felt a nudge from God to follow a different path?

Is there something deep inside your spirit that is telling you to take a risk, do something different, and follow your dream?

A year from now would you live to be called a purpose-driven mom?!

Listen to this episode to hear the inspirational story of how my guest, Jennifer McDaniel, took that risk, tried something different, followed God's path, and made her dream happen!

Just a few years ago, Jennifer McDaniel was feeling overwhelmed by family health issues and the struggles of being a stay-at-home mom to 4 kids. She was burnt out from helping everyone and putting everyone else's needs first. She felt like her cup was empty and she had nothing left to give. She decided to put herself first and attended my 2019 Created Order Conference in Charlotte, NC. Getting there wasn't easy, but she knew God had a path for her so she made it happen.

Often times right before you are ready to go to the next level, there will be obstacles to overcome. This is when you learn perseverance. As a mom, we often give into those obstacles or guilt but you have to take time for yourself to hear your inner voice to know where your path should take you. It is important to give yourself time, be calm, stop running, and listen.

You don't have to have all the answers. You can figure it out as you go. Follow where you are guided and the answers will come. I know many of you want to live on purpose and are waiting for everything to be perfectly lined up and have all the answers.

If you have a dream in your heart you need to give yourself permission to try, even if it's a little bit at a time. Surround yourself with women that are highly motivated, and encouraging and you will get there.

Now that Jennifer McDaniel is a purpose-driven mom, she is no longer stuck in the daily mess. She is living intentionally with purpose and you can too!
