S1E3 - The Generations That Shape Us | Heiligers Legacy Jan 19, 2019

Show notes

Here we are! Almost finished with a whole month of legacy reflection!

This week I share my chat with the Heiliger/Riddle clan. My dear cousins!

These women have such unique experiences as mothers, creatives, and workers, and they share the not so pretty realities of beginning their journeys into motherhood.

One thing that remains paramount in their stories is the radical grace and goodness of God.

S1E2 - The Generations That Shape Us | Allen Legacy Jan 12, 2019

Show notes

Continuing the theme of legacy with the Allen/Elliott Clan!

These are the kind of friends that are good to have around for all season’s of life, but especially the really, really crappy, hard ones.

Marianne is a retired relational care pastor and a marriage and family therapist and is one of the greatest teachers of life I’ve ever had the privilege to learn from.

Melissa, her daughter, is a wife and office manager, and incredible auntie to her nephews and god-daughters (one of them being mine!).

Kerry is wife to Nathan Allen, momma to 3 boys, surrogate momma to one, and currently on a journey to adopt.

Their stories of motherhood, and of how they navigated the death of husband and father, Brian Allen, are raw and refreshing all at once.

It’s SUCH a privilege to share this intimate talk featuring such spectacular women.

Thank you, Jesus.

S1E1 - The Generations That Shape Us | Bernhard Legacy Jan 05, 2019

Show notes

It felt appropriate to start off this New Year with an ode to Legacy.

This is a subject we talk about often on the podcast.

How are we living today with the future generations in mind?

What have we learned from those who have gone before us?

I spent an afternoon interviewing my in-laws, Robin Bernhard, Nicole Baumgart, and Abigail Smith.

We cover the 9-year gap between sisters, what it was like growing up on an 800-acre farm, and whether work strains or fuels each of them in their motherhood/marriage journey.

064 - Making Space | Katy Rollins Dec 14, 2018

Show notes

Katy Rollins is a wife and full-time momma to two little boys.

After battling for years with undiagnosed endometriosis and then processing the pain of possibly being infertile once she was officially diagnosed, Katy developed a deep empathy for other women suffering in similar situations.

Now on the other side of her own trials with walking into motherhood, she has a passion to stand beside women in pain and simply offer her presence rather than trying to “make it better.”

063 - Mountains in The Sea | Angela Lamb Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

Mountains in the Sea is husband-and-wife indie electropop duo made up of Phil and Angela Lamb. The pair will sheepishly tell you they met online on Facebook through mutual friends in 2011, and after a long distance (like, 3,000-miles-long) whirlwind romance, they married and settled in Spokane, WA. But music was always a part of their story.

Several musical projects and two babies later, the pair finally felt they found their sound as a duo when they began writing for Mountains in the Sea in early 2018. They also are members of five-piece indie rock band The South Hill.

062 - Surrendering to the Unknown | Kelsey Delane Dec 07, 2018

Show notes

My battle with anxiety and depression began in adolescence. If you had asked me at the time what I thought of myself I would have told you I was too sensitive, ugly, weak, and hopeless.

For years I ached for relief from the burden of myself. I searched high and low for answers, including therapy and medication, yet something was missing.

Then, at 17 years old I found Yoga and everything changed!

While on my mat, I began to see myself through a new lens. I attempted things I had previously believed I was incapable of doing. I stood in awe of my strength as I held a challenging posture and celebrated my ability to use my breath to endure discomfort. As my perception changed, it opened the door to endless possibilities.

Our mind can be our greatest ally or beastly foe. We have the power to change our chemistry by consciously choosing the thoughts we focus on, the way we breathe, and how we hold our body. Knowing this, I cannot help but share with all who will listen.

My practice has been my anchor, through teenage pregnancy, divorce, mental illness, and everyday life. My hope is to walk alongside other women as they refine the tools of this practice, to encourage them along the way, and challenge them toward growth. The broader and deeper our set of tools for living are, the more we can become the hero of our own lives!

061 - Little Family | Megan Schimmel Dec 04, 2018

Show notes

Megan, her husband, and new baby girl are Little People.

They all have a form of dwarfism called, Achondroplasia.

Megan’s journey into motherhood was met with lots of resistance from many different sources, along with the possibility that they could pass on a deadly form of dwarfism to their unborn baby.

From spending the first 3 weeks of baby Lily’s life in NICU to being displaced for a time during the terrible Northern California Fires, their journey has been met with grace and simplicity.

060 - Mystery Is Part of The Journey | Kira Tegtmeier Nov 30, 2018

Show notes

A story of loss and redemption like few you’ve heard, Kira Tegtmeier, a newly single mother has weathered more than most will. Her resilience and honesty is humbling.

Her motherhood journey began in Japan, and is now unfolding in a totally new way as she learns to balance work & home life as a single mom.

This woman is a beacon of hope; a picture of depth and wild beauty.

I am so honored to share her story.
