How to Create Systems in Your Home (Ft. Geomyra Pollard) Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever gotten stressed out trying to do ALL the things - like get your work done, do the laundry, meal plan for the week, clean the house, AND prioritize relationships and family members?

Most weeks we have overwhelming to-do lists to get through and 50% of the time (okay, more like 95%), we still have dishes piled up in the sink, laundry left to fold, and no meals in the fridge.

Maybe you’ve considered delegating some tasks to lighten the load, but you’re afraid that those tasks won’t get done at all or they won’t get done how you like them to be done.

But the truth is that you have limited capacity. So, how can you learn to create systems in your home and delegate tasks so you can prioritize what matters most?

In this episode, Jordan answers that question with guest Geomyra Pollard - a life and business coach known for being a systems and workflow guru. Together, they explore how you can better manage your household tasks and prioritize what (and who) matters most.

Ready to let go of the overwhelm? Tune in to learn:

Why “work-life balance” doesn’t exist and what to focus on instead
Ways to better manage your time with household tasks like laundry and meal planning
How to schedule your week to help you prioritize what matters most
Tips for delegating tasks to others

How to Set Healthy Boundaries as a Christian (Ft. Lysa TerKeurst) Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

Let’s be honest. Setting boundaries is no easy task. In fact, for many people, the thought of having to set a boundary can feel downright scary.

What if the other person doesn’t react well or refuses to follow the boundary you’ve set?

As Christians, it can be even more challenging to set boundaries because we worry that we are unloving or selfish, or that our boundaries will get in the way of our ability to serve others.

But never setting boundaries can easily lead to chaos, burnout, and unhealthy relationships.

So how can we love others well while still establishing important (and needed) boundaries in our relationships?

In this episode, Jordan talks with the head of Proverbs 31 Ministries and bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst about everything you need to know to set healthy boundaries as a Christian.

Tune in to learn:

What healthy boundaries actually look like and when to use boundaries
Why it’s unkind to NOT have boundaries
The importance of limiting how much “emotional access” we grant to people
How to know when boundaries are needed and when they may hinder an opportunity to minister to someone
What to do when someone has a bad reaction to your boundaries
How to know when it’s time to say goodbye to an unhealthy relationship

Working Out for Joy Not Weight Loss (Ft. Kaisa Keranen) Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

In our culture today, working out has often revolved around weight loss and how we look.

Instead of moving our bodies for enjoyment or for true health, we too often move our bodies as punishment for the piece of cake that we ate.

But what would it look like if that changed? What if movement stopped being about weight loss and started being about self-empowerment, joy, and wholeness?

In this episode, Jordan talks with personal trainer and fitness educator Kaisa Keranen about why health is a feeling, not a look, and how we can joyfully incorporate movement into our lives.

Tune in to learn:

Why it’s so important to prioritize health and wholeness over body transformation and weight loss
Tips for making movement fun and life-affirming
The importance of incorporating rest and recovery into your schedule
Why mobility is so important for everyone and how you can incorporate it into your daily movements
