When You’re Suffering and Don’t See the Kindness of God Feb 24, 2020

Show notes

Today’s episode is on the topic of suffering. This may be the most vulnerable episode I’ve ever released, but I also believe it to be one of the most important for some of you. Any time I share some of the harder or heavier parts of my story, it’s with the hope of reaching other women where they are and restoring hope for them, too. So I just want to let you know that if you are in a place of hardship or suffering these days, or are maybe even angry with God, you are not alone. You are so very much loved. And His kindness IS being poured out over you through it all.

How to Be Empowered for Connection in Your Marriage Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

In today’s episode I’m sharing a recording from a recent Live video I did in my Facebook community as part of my three-day Empowered Wife Workshop. You’ll be hearing more about what it means to be an empowered wife, why this matters for your marriage and family, and what it looks like to be empowered for CONNECTION with your spouse specifically.

There are two things I most want you to take away from today’s episode:

1. Your BEING is far more important than your DOING. It’s not tasks or “to-dos” that you need more of when it comes to strengthening your marriage; it’s more transformative MINDSET SHIFTS that result in you becoming a truly confident, empowered wife.

2. You DO have a say in the trajectory of your marriage! You DO have a say in how you connect with your husband, how you respond to your husband, and even how you THINK about your husband. And knowing that you have this power and AUTHORITY makes all the difference.

Five Daily Practices for the Empowered Mom Jan 06, 2020

Show notes

When you become EMPOWERED as a mom, THAT is when you are free to truly ENJOY being a mom. This is something you’ll find me saying often - and not just because I’ve seen it be true in my own life, but because I’ve seen it be true in the lives of the women I work with. So much of the joy and freedom we most long for in our lives really does start with our MINDSET and CONFIDENCE!

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through FIVE daily practices designed to help you feel more empowered in your everyday motherhood:

1. Speaking declarations

2. Listing your options

3. Confident, creative communication

4. Nurturing your body, mind, and soul

5. Taking consistent baby steps in the right direction

I honestly couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the new year than with some fresh insight on what it means to be the fully empowered moms we were created to be!
