How a Hall of Fame Coach Defines Success - with Sherri Coale Nov 13, 2024

Sherri Coale’s Hall of Fame coaching career was full of highs - and some lows. But through it all, she became a powerhouse leader and teacher. After hitting the goals, setting new ones and hitting those too, Sherri realized…then what? In her words, “maybe it’s not necessarily a thing to check off a list, but a way you want to live.” This conversation is unique and fun for the sports lovers (and also those who don't know the difference between a touchdown and a three-point-shot 😉) with a refreshing take on goal setting for any ambitious achievers among us.

How to Realistically Unplug + Be more Present in your Life - with Hannah Brencher Nov 06, 2024

I think we all know how good it feels to lose track of time in the moment…NOT on your phone. But too often, it can feel impossible or overwhelming to turn off notifications or put the screen away altogether. So how can we unplug intentionally and realistically? Is is even realistic in today’s day and age? Hannah Brencher is on THRIVE today with a big YES…and she’s got loads of practical tips and personal anecdotes for how she’s created pockets of presence and unplugged hours in her daily family life today. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or straight up burnt out from being constantly connected...press play (and then put your phone away! Wink!).

How to Pray When you’re Too Busy to Pray - with Kayla Craig Sep 18, 2024

We’ve ALL been there. The day kicks off and WHAM BAM it’s school pickup then sports then dinner then bedtime and wait, did I forget to pray today? Definitely didn’t have a warm cup of coffee with quiet Bible time…heck, my coffee was forgotten cold somewhere, probably in the microwave for the 8th time. If that sounds familiar, you’re in good company - and you’ll love today’s episode with our new friend, Kayla Craig. Kayla is a mom of four, author of Every Season Sacred and To Light Their Way, and the creator of Liturgies for Parents…which is an AWESOME resource with collections of prayers when you don’t have words or time yourself. In our conversation we talk about nurturing your family’s faith, the best ways to teach your kids to pray, how to make your LIFE a prayer, and all about BREATH prayers, which will feel like a breath of fresh air today - literally!

What Every One of Us Wants (and Needs) to Know about Female Friendship - with Danielle Bayard Jackson Sep 11, 2024

Friends…it’s time to talk friendships. Making (+ keeping!) girlfriends as grownups is a whole ‘nother level. So many of the stresses we faced on the playground or in the high school halls can somehow feel…alarmingly similar to thoughts racing through our brains as adults. Add to that changing seasons, growing families, different priorities and stages, and it’s like the Wild West out there, ladies! Female friendship coach, educator and author Danielle Bayard Jackson is on THRIVE today, and let us be the first to say - it’s one of our most FIRE episodes on friendship ever! How do you know when a friendship has run its course? When should you fight for the friendship - and how? What about those uncomfortable conversations or hard chats that need to be had? And can we talk about making NEW friends, too? There’s all that and then some, so buckle up and press play!

My Favorite Advice on Intentional Parenting - with Destini Davis Aug 28, 2024

*This month we're re-running our top episodes of all time. We hope you enjoy this conversation, whether it's your first time tuning in or a worthwhile re-listen!

This episode is a true treat for parents who want to THRIVE. Destini is a certified parenting coach, a social media rockstar, the author of Very Intentional Parenting, and one of my personal FAVORITE people to follow on Instagram. Her advice today is equal parts practical and applicable. We talk about how to build better connections with your kids and challenge the idea of “discipline” as means of teaching instead of punishing. We talk about transitioning from being “the yeller” parent to better regulating your own emotions in tough parenting moments, and we talk about actual scripts to use to get through high emotion, high tension situations like a child hitting or acting out. Destini is all about data collection, so you’ll finish this episode feeling more equipped as a mom (or dad!), and better able to hold boundaries compassionately and parent calmly, learning your kid, what works, and what doesn’t.

Let’s Take a Break from Alcohol… - with Karolina Rzadkowolska Aug 14, 2024

*This month we're re-running our top episodes of all time. We hope you enjoy this conversation, whether it's your first time tuning in or a worthwhile re-listen!

Whether you’ve been sober-curious for a while or never even considered taking a break from booze, today’s episode is for you. Karolina Rzadkowolska is a speaker, podcaster, and the author of Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier More Confident You, and she’s got a completely jam-packed, informative episode ahead that will probably blow your mind (in the best sense). Today on THRIVE, she breaks down what alcohol - in any amount - actually *does* to our bodies and brains, as well as what you can realistically expect from a break. She gives the full lowdown on WHY to consider a break, even if you don’t have “a problem” with alcohol (and why she’s personally alcohol-free after years of being “a drinker”). And beyond that, she gives helpful tricks and tools for managing the social side of it all - how to still have fun (loads of it!), feel confident (even moreso!), and literally live out your wildest, biggest dreams sans booze.

Everything you’ve been Wondering About Pelvic Floor Therapy - with Kara Cota Jul 17, 2024

This is the one we’ve alllll been waiting for…it’s time to talk pelvic floor therapy. Erica has been in pelvic floor therapy on and off for over a year now, since around her second trimester of pregnancy with Jonah, and it has truly changed her life. One of those things you want to shout from the rooftops so every woman can know - no gatekeeping here, girlfriends! Knowledge is power, and you need to know these things about your own body. This isn’t just kegels and pee pads, ladies - it can mean less leakage, pain-free intercourse, better workouts, less back and/or neck pain…the list goes on! Your pelvic floor does a LOT, and Erica’s own therapist is joining her on THRIVE today to talk ALL about it. Nothing is off limits, your questions are answered, and they *go there* to help a sista out. Listen up!

Post-conversation addition from Kara: Multiple randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that perineal massage (from 34 weeks gestation until delivery) decreased the risk of an episiotomy and perineal tears, particularly 3rd and 4th degree tears. Perineal massage has also been associated with reduced second stage of labor, decreased incidence of anal incontinence, and less perineal pain postpartum.

Making Family Budgeting FUN (+ Easy!) - with the Russell Family Jul 03, 2024

Does budgeting feel like a dirty word to you? Or, maybe just…boring? Uncomfy? Generally UN-fun? The Russells are here to help! Sarah (from Team THRIVE!) is hopping *behind* the mic today with her husband, Ryan, to share the practical tips they use in their everyday life to make budgeting easier than ever before…and yes, actually FUN. They went from being newlyweds making about $20,000 all year TOGETHER to thriving as a family of four with dreams and goals - so yes, it’s possible! No matter where you’re at income-wise, Sarah and Ryan are sharing how + why to make budgeting happen. They break down their practical 3-prong approach, how to talk dollars as a couple, and some of their favorite resources + tools to both make budgeting easier AND family-friendly at age-appropriate levels, too (without letting any past “junk” from your own past money mindset in the picture).

Gospel-centered Goal-setting & Doing the Thing You were Made to Do - with Rebecca George Jun 26, 2024

This one’s for the go-getter girls. Are you one of them? You’re a high achieving, big dreaming, goal setting, coffee drinking gal who’s maybe also Type A, maybe an Enneagram 3, maybe an oldest sibling…maybe a recovering perfectionist and/or retired “girlboss.” Rebecca George is our guest today, here to remind YOU of your God-given gifts…and how to reframe your mindset and recenter your efforts to do the thing that YOU were made to do. We talk about goal setting, but more specifically and intentionally, about what GOSPEL-centered goal-setting looks like, to link arms with the Lord to do not just what’s on *your* to-do list, but what’s on His for your life. If you’ve been discerning your next steps or what your “bigger picture” might be, or if you’ve felt “stuck” or unsure what to do, press play and lean in.

Gospel-centered Dating & What you Actually DESERVE in Relationships - with Ainsley Britain Jun 19, 2024

Podcaster, speaker, author and Enneagram coach Ainsley Britain is here to break down the “boo-boo dudes” - the always-unideal, sometimes-toxic, never-Mr.Rights who leave you feeling more confused, isolated, and ultimately less loved than you deserve. So…what DO you deserve? And how can you go about dating - especially in this century - in a godly, gospel-centered way? Ainsley is here to help. In this episode, we talk about what IS “toxic” in a relationship, and how to know whether you should give him another chance (because nobody’s perfect) or say goodbye for good. We also talk red flags, standards - what yours should be - and how to gracefully exit stage left if/when you realize you’re in a futureless relationship while honestly assessing your own growth and role, too.

Scents & Memories: Here's How (+ Why) your Brain Connects the Two! - with Beth Geddio (P.S. WE MADE A CANDLE!!!) Jun 12, 2024

Ever smell something that instantly brings you back to a specific memory, person, or point in time? Maybe the smell of fresh cut grass, or sugar cookies in the oven, or your mom’s perfume? I know what candle was burning in our little townhouse basement back in 2020, and every time I smell Polo cologne it feels like my dad is here for the holidays. Why? Because your sense of smell is directly linked to your memory - they’re literally next door to one another in your brain! Today on THRIVE we’re welcoming back my friend Beth from State of Being Co. - an affirmation candle company that harnesses this powerful connection to create tools to effect positive change in your life and actually change your…state of being! We’re so stoked to bring you an incredible, intentional collaboration between THRIVE x State of Being: the THRIVING candle. Designed specifically to help you go from a life of surviving…to thriving!

You were Uniquely Made for This - with Becca Wierwille May 22, 2024

For years, Becca Wierwille felt different than everyone else. Namely because she was born with only half of one arm. But instead of letting her limb difference define her, she’s learned to lean in, acknowledge how it impacts her life, and then use it as a way to celebrate others’ differences and God’s intentional design for each of us. Today, Becca writes stories to show kids they are wonderfully created for the unique adventures in their lives, and she’s sharing her story on THRIVE to remind you that your differences truly make you BEAUTIFUL.

Homeschooling + Homesteading - with Shelbey Kendall May 15, 2024

Ever wonder what it would be like to just…do it all yourself? Nix the drama of the public school systems and call the shots for your kids from the comfort of your own home? Cut the crap with the food industry and cultivate a healthier, more holistic livelihood with your own farm fresh eggs or dairy milk on your own little homestead? Maybe the thought of homeschooling or homesteading gives you hives, or maybe you’ve heard the words but don’t know much about either - and that’s where today’s episode comes in. Shelbey Kendall is a homeschooling, homesteading mom and author, and she’s giving us the greatest inside look at both words in her world - and how her mind was changed and she got started, as someone who once couldn’t IMAGINE ever being “that mom” to homeschool.

Create a Life you Actually LOVE - with Stephanie May Wilson May 01, 2024

"You get to decide." Really, you do! And whether that thought feels instantly empowering or overwhelming, Stephanie May Wilson is here to help. As an author, speaker, TEDxTalker, and popular podcaster with over 8 million downloads, Stephanie is no stranger to the "Everything Era" - the decade-ish where most of our wildly huge, defining, important milestone decisions are often made. Today on THRIVE, she brings her best tips on creating a life you love for YOU - not for your family, your friends, or what you think you "should" have done by now. Erica and Steph also break down discerning "God's plan" for your life and where your power lies along the way (spoiler alert: you have more say so than you think you do!). The conversation is candid and oh so real, with relatable ways to approach your decision making in a way that will make sense for you and have you moving forward in faith and confidence for what's to come. “Life is too short to wear shoes that don’t fit - whether your feet, your style, or your life - especially when there are seven hundred gazillion other options to choose from. It’s not selfish to want to find shoes that fit - in fact, it’s silly not to.”

The Pursuit of Meaning - with Dr. Lauren Gilbert Mar 13, 2024

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of...meaning? Believe it or not, people who pursue happiness are scientifically LESS happy (and more stressed and less healthy) than people who pursue something else entirely: meaning. But what does pursuing "meaning" actually MEAN? Dr. Lauren Gilbert breaks down the science today on THRIVE. We also talk about living "authentically" - and how showing up with your God-given gifts is just as important and authentic as showing up "relatably" with your shame rooms and junk drawers. Dr. Lauren loves looking at the intersections of science and faith, so today's conversation gives a good look at the both/and of living an authentic, meaningful life!

Yes, Jesus Cares about your Mental Health - with Laura Smith Feb 21, 2024

We’re back with best-selling author, speaker, Bible teacher, and my friend Laura Smith, and we’re chatting all about her newest book: Holy Care for the Whole Self. It’s full of truth and encouragement connecting our mental AND spiritual health journeys, and it’s going to leave you feeling refreshed and breathing easier in your own earthly walk. But if you have not yet grabbed copy, we’ll wait - and give you some really solid advice and steadfast reminders in the meantime, especially great if you’ve ever found yourself struggling mentally and maybe shaming yourself spiritually. You are not broken. There’s nothing wrong with you. You don’t have to “pray away” your pain - it is okay, and right, to seek earthly AND heavenly help. Jesus CARES about your mental health - and Laura is here to break down the “both/and” of seeking healing.

How to Live by Design, Not Default - with Julie Ciardi Jan 31, 2024

Today’s episode is for all the girlies who have ever felt trapped in a life lived on “default.” It’s an awesome conversation with my fabulous friend Julie, who on the outside, very much looks like she “does it all.” She’s got a 7-figure business, a top 1.5% globally ranked podcast, over 20 years of marketing and sales experience, had a brick and mortar boutique, and more…including a husband and 3 kids. But really, Julie’s life has been filled with very intentional choices and specific moves to let her live by her own design - and very much NOT by default. In this episode, she shares how she managed to rise the corporate ranks at IBM - all the way to VP of Marketing - while still saying “no” and coaching her son’s soccer team. She spills the secret to building your self-image and self-confidence to make bold moves in your own life, and she breaks down her formula for being a “Mom AND.” Whether you’re a corporate chica, an ambitious entrepreneur, and/or a fellow mama, this episode is not one to miss!

If you just can’t figure out why the HECK you are where you are now…take a breath.

What each Enneagram Type needs most in Friendship - with Sarajane Case Nov 01, 2023

There may be no greater feeling in friendship than someone just seeing you for exactly who you are and loving you in that place as that person. They honor your highs, lift your lows, and somehow seem to know *just* the right thing to do or say in the moment - and that’s why they’re your best friend, right? But today on THRIVE, we’re kicking even the best of friendships up a notch. Sarajane Case - better known as @enneagramandcoffee on Instagram - is here to break down each Enneagram type specifically as it relates in friendships and relationships with other people, so that you can show up as a better friend AND feel that friendship in return. She’s giving specific advice on how to show up stronger without letting our own expectations or limits become a roadblock in relationships, and what each type really needs at its core to feel most loved. BONUS: Sarajane also shares the ONE thing each Enneagram type can do TODAY to - you guessed it - really THRIVE.

She’s all about helping women tap into their true potential and create a look on the outside that really reflects who they are on the inside. She’s got over 20 years of experience styling executives and high-profile clients, she’s been dubbed “the secret weapon,” and she’s here on THRIVE today to walk us through how to actually uncover your own personal style and add or subtract from your closet accordingly.

So your kids ”just won’t listen”... - With Joy Marilie Oct 11, 2023

“It’s always a battle in our house.” “It’s all fun and games until I have to yell.” “No matter what I say or do, my kids just won’t listen!!!” Sound familiar? Conscious parenting coach and conscious discipline expert Joy Marilie Jackson is an absolute BANK of knowledge on THRIVE today, for any fellow moms (or dads!) in the house who want a better, healthier way. As an educator with decades of disciplinary experience under her belt, becoming a parent was a whole new ballgame - and Joy stepped up to the plate to learn all about child psychology and development to better support her own daughter before teaching thousands of other parents about better disciplining their kids. Today on THRIVE, we get real and raw with our own personal mom fails (and wins!). We talk about teaching when they don’t feel like being taught, creating routines and basic time management when you have actual timelines to follow (because hello, real life). We also talk about boundary-pushing and safely handling total meltdowns and escalated behavior when everyone in the room is stressed.

When Ordinary is Really Extraordinary - With Tanner Olson Aug 16, 2023

In much of life, the little things are the big things. And for most of life, we spend our days continuing on through all of the things, little and big alike. Today on THRIVE, author, poet and speaker Tanner Olson shares so much real, raw inspiration with us on continuing on and truly thriving through it all. We talk about walking a little slower and embracing a lesser pace, we build faith through the “regular” or more routine moments, and we lean into the ordinary to discover the extraordinary.

“Hold Every Thought Captive”...and then what? - with Laura Smith Aug 09, 2023

If you’ve ever struggled with surrendering your stressors to God…you’re not alone. It can be hard to let go of anxieties - heck, it’s even hard to know what “letting go” of them really means, let alone how to actually do it! Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 10:5 “to hold every thought captive” - but what does that look like in our lives today, when 70,000 thoughts pass through our brains? Best-selling author, speaker, and Bible teacher Laura Smith is a true treat on THRIVE today, and she’s helping us A this exact Q. Laura’s insight is a gift and she gives it freely, with a few important reminders about just how loved and cherished you really are (that might blow your mind).

Kicking Imposter Syndrome to the Curb - with Lydia Fenet Apr 17, 2023

At first glance, one might think that Lydia Fenet could be the most confident woman in the world. She’s the leading charity auctioneer in the WORLD raising over a billion dollars for over 800 organizations. She’s been on the Today Show, in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Vogue, Vanity Fair…she’s even got an upcoming Netflix series around her first book, The Most Powerful Woman in the Room is You. OH, and she’s the host of the Claim Your Confidence podcast, and a wife, AND a mom of three. But beneath the shiny surface, Lydia has had her fair share of “failures” and fully believes that confidence is an inside job - a learned process that literally ANYONE can manage. Today on THRIVE, we talk all about building confidence from nothing, taking “failures” in stride, and powering through with genuine positivity. Lydia also shares her foolproof “strike method” for getting a quick burst of real confidence in real time, and the full lowdown on imposter syndrome and how to kick it to the curb for good.

Managing Mom Guilt AND Time (Realistically!) - with Theresa Harp Mar 15, 2023

As a military wife, mom of four, AND owner of two businesses, Theresa just gets it.

When God Presses Pause on YOUR Plans - with Leigh Howell Mar 01, 2023

Leigh is a mom of 3 boys, a wife, and a family physician - but in 2020, her life took a major turn (beyond 2020’s usual of a global pandemic).

Where Faith and Mental Health Meet (& Thrive!) - with Brittney Moses Feb 08, 2023

“Can I follow Jesus, but also follow science?” “Can I be a good, supportive friend and validate feelings without letting feelings become facts?” ABSOLUTELY YES to all of the above - and Brittney Moses is here on THRIVE to help us make it happen. As a thought leader, content creator and advocate at the intersection of faith and mental health, Brittney is an ideal resource and incredible voice. In this episode, we talk about why therapy is still so stigmatized in some Christian circles (and how to help fix that). We talk about learning to personally differentiate between what is doable versus actually sustainable in your own life - and living accordingly. We talk about expanding beyond “I’ll pray for you!” in an authentic way to provide support via presence, practicality, validation, self-awareness, and resourcefulness. And, we talk about the difference between living “your truth” and THE Truth, and how to validate your (and others’) feelings while ultimately seeking and following Truth as guide.

Positive Discipline: Reparenting your Inner Child & Focusing on your Strengths - with Kristen Ancker Jan 25, 2023

Power struggles, sibling fighting, constant chaos…solemn nods of solidarity from the parents in the house, right? Kristen feels our collective pain, and as a parent empowerment coach, encouragement consultant, ex-Montessori teacher and director and certified facilitator of Positive Discipline, she’s here to help. While on paper she’s “got it all” as a would-be know-it-all mom, her journey wasn’t always easy transitioning from a teacher to a parent herself. Today on THRIVE, Kristen realistically explains “positive discipline” and breaks down best practices based on the latest in neuroscience and child development (and her on the job training as a mom of three). We also talk about reparenting your own inner child - especially if your upbringing involved a different parenting style than you’re personally implementing today. Kristen helps us focus on your own strengths while figuring this whole mom thing out as you go, with tips on proactively parenting instead of constantly feeling like you’re just reacting to little people with big feelings. ;) Walk away from today’s episode feeling encouraged and empowered as the awesome parent you are!

Rejection as Redirection: What to Do (+ How to Think) When you Hear ”NO” - with Lucy Bedewi Jan 18, 2023

There’s no one who particularly LIKES hearing the word “no.” It’s a punch to the stomach that can make you question everything from your career path to your partner. When Lucy Bedewi was told she had “too strong of a personality” for a job, she felt the feels - then did something with it. Lucy took the rejection as redirection and went on to launch her own business at age 21, making six-figures in her first full year and becoming the writer behind many international corporations, fast-growth start-ups, world-famous bakeries, 7-figure coaches and more. Today on THRIVE, Lucy’s “strong” personality shines and she dives deep into tips for bouncing back and forward after hearing “no.” We talk about knowing when (and how) to take the reasoning for a “no” to heart versus when to brush it off. And, Lucy also shares specific mindset shifts you have to take when you do, inevitably, hear no.

Angie Colee might be one of the most interesting people you’ll ever meet - also, one of the kindest. But just because she’s got a big heart doesn’t mean she can’t shoot you straight - and just because she can speak truth doesn’t mean it’s not kind. Today, we’re talking all about the art of difficult conversations, of which Angie is a true professional. After having her world turned upside down, she picked up and became a nomadic traveler, living in a different place, state, even country for a month at a time. In our conversation today, we talk about learning how to reframe your story to successfully shift your perspective when necessary without feeling fake or invalidating feelings. We talk about how to physically pivot your life sails in a different direction, and of course, we talk about how to have hard, tough, super freaking difficult conversations - Angie even shares a specific formula to break them down so that you can take it into your next one with a bit more grace and a bit less anxiety.

Sex trafficking and exploitation has increased 40% since the pandemic. There are an estimated 750,000 predators online at any given time.

My friend Chandler was made victim of a sex trafficking attempt in Miami, and she’s bravely and boldly sharing her story today so that we can all become more informed on the horrific reality of trafficking in our world and country. Chandler also shares some important personal safety tips that she has since learned and put into practice to stay alert, tips on teaching your kids and keeping them as safe as possible (including online), and the best ways to get involved in your own community. We're in this together. Please take a stand against human trafficking with us.
