On this episode I am talking with Andrea Sorensen. Even though we all have different experiences, I believe we still have similar emotions. Andrea grew up with an alcoholic father and a mother that was addicted to opioids. Maybe this isn't your story. But, have you ever felt alone, or scared or confused? Have you ever felt there was no hope? Are you looking for joy? Andrea experienced all these emotions and today she is sharing how she was able to find peace despite her circumstances.

Episode 52- The Girl Sitting Next to You with Sara Hodges Oct 02, 2019

Show notes

Today I'm just sharing a little clip from a previous interview, Episode 31-" When You Feel All Alone, Even in a Group" with Sara Hodges. This month as I've been recording different interviews, talking with Kristen Coltrin about suicide prevention and Amber Robbins about cheering on our peers and a few other interviews that I haven't shared yet, I noticed that they all talked about the power of connecting with others. I've been thinking a lot about this. We are more alike than we sometimes realize and we need to take those similarities to connect with others. If you are feeling lonely, I promise you that there's other girls out there feeling lonely too. Or maybe you don't feel lonely. If this is the case, consider yourself lucky because I can guarantee you there are those that do and they need you. If we all just take a little time to understand others better I really believe that our friendships would be stronger and we would be happier. Sara wrote this meditation called, "The Girl Sitting Next to You" and shared it in episode 31 and I just feel like it needs shared again. If you want to dive deeper into this subject I encourage you to go back and listen to the full episode, but otherwise, just find a quiet place and close your eyes and listen to this and think of the girl that sits next to you in class or the girl at another lunch table or the girl that maybe you were best friends with in elementary school but as you've gotten older you have drifted apart. Think of someone you can reach out to this week and let them know that they are seen.

Episode 50- Pornography and the Threat to Teenage Girls with Dr. Timothy Hollingshead Sep 18, 2019

Show notes

Pornography. Maybe this seems like a boy's problem. So why am I talking about it on a teen girl's podcast? According to Dr. Tim Hollingshead, founder and author of Freein13, the fastest growing demographic of pornography viewing is women. Why is this an issue? Lots of reasons but a big one being, these are our future mothers. After years of working as an ecclesiastical leader and seeing the harmful effects of viewing pornography in those he counseled, Dr. Tim created a manual and website to help us get our loved ones back by escaping the pornography trap. Today he is talking about how pornography addictions start, the dangers of viewing it, and how to lessen our exposure when it is everywhere.

As I went back through the interview to edit it, I found myself saying over and over to Dr. Tim's comments, "That's scary." It is scary. It's easy to want to throw away our phones and lock ourselves in our rooms. That isn't a realistic solution though. Instead we need to be aware. Pornography is everything that love isn't. It's fake, degrading and harmful. Girls, remember this. Parent's talk to your kids about this- your sons AND DAUGHTERS. This isn't just a boy problem.

Depression, anxiety, suicide, stress, low self esteem and loneliness all seem to be on the rise. Is there anything we can do about it? What if we were to deliberately look outside ourselves and try to see those that need a little encouragement? What if we spent our time cheering our peers on? Today, Amber Robbins, from TeenTake30 is sharing SIMPLE ways that we can cheer others on and make a difference for them. What I really loved about Amber's tips is they are totally doable. They don't take tons of time, you can do them if you are outgoing, you can do them if you are more reserved. We absolutely can make a difference for others. Listen to find out how.

Episode 48- Suicide Awareness with Kristen Coltrin Sep 04, 2019

Show notes

September is National Suicide Awareness Month. I know this is a tough topic to talk about but also a topic we need to talk about. For whatever reasons it seems to be more common and it's time we understood it more. Is there anything we can do to prevent suicide? Kristen Coltrin works for the National Suicide Prevention Line and today she is sharing warning signs, risk factors, and most importantly, HOW TO GET HELP. Often times suicide or suicide attempts can be connected to, 1. Feeling like a burden, 2. Lack of feeling connected, or 3. Lack of belonging, so Kristen wants to share ways we can connect with and include others.
