Why You Need to Take Back Your Life Tho May 16, 2019

Show notes

Oh dear, summer is coming and we know that means lax schedules, vacations (maybe) and in general, fighting the temptation to check out of our actual lives. We get it, believe us, and we are still trying to figure out how we're gonna work with two kids at home all summer. (Fix it, Jesus.) We cover five areas where you can take back your life: spiritually, relationally, systematically, organizationally, and socially. You don't have to be a victim to your own calendar. You can take back your life so that you are building a daily experience that isn't perfect, but has a rhythm of rest and replenishment. You've got what it takes to live a life you love.

Why Ambition is Not a Dirty Word Tho May 09, 2019

Show notes

When did you realize your ambition? Were you a little kid? Did anyone rain on your ambition parade? Let's talk about it because we believe ambition is a good thing. It aids in discovering your purpose and fulfilling your calling. The Why Tho Gals talk about the differences between men and women when it comes to drive and determination, and how from a young age, people and organizations are either pushing us to excel or pulling us back from our natural instincts. Whether you feel called to a career, to the home, or some combo of both, this podcast will help you as you deal with your desires, and become the person you were created to be. As promised, here are resources from Dawn Sadler, who is an incredible woman that specializes in helping people overcome fear, anxiety, and overwhelm. Her website is: https://www.avodahcoaching.com/, and she also gathered a crew of women for an online summit called How I Built This to hear from women in a variety of fields sharing how they started in their industry from scratch: https://www.avodahcoaching.com/hilt-summit-interest To find out more about Tiffany's writing, speaking, or books visit her site at http://www.tiffanybluhm.com/ Find her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffanybluhm/ To find out more about Ashley's writing, speaking, or books visit her site at https://ashabercrombie.org/ Find her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashabercrombie/

Why Body Image is a Struggle Tho May 02, 2019

Show notes

Body image impacts women everywhere. Our culture is obsessed with image. From magazine covers to social media ads to the groups we belong to, we're receiving implicit and explicit messages that the sum total of our value is in our pants size, our lack of wrinkles, our hair and skin color. In this episode, Tiffany and Ashley talk about their experiences with body image (name calling, shame, eating disorder, and more). Plus, we'll provide helpful tools to help you overcome negative body image and share how to lean into a more holistic perspective of our emotional, spiritual, relational and physical well-being. We can resist the cultural norms and stop reducing ourselves to what we look like so we can celebrate who we (and others) are!

Why Privilege is Not a Cuss Word Tho Apr 18, 2019

Show notes

So, who's sick of talking about privilege in America? Right, not us, so bear with us as we dive right in. We believe this is still an important conversation. Plus, one of our cohosts has had quite a few run-ins with the law (can't wait for you to hear that story), and both Tiffany and Ashley have served as prison chaplains in America. Whether we're talking about race or gender, it's true that there are things that people with a certain skin color, and men, will just never have to deal with, ever. Gina Crosley-Corcoran, author of the essay, "Explaining White Privilege to a Broke White Person," says, "Recognizing privilege simply means being aware that some people have to work much harder just to experience the things you take for granted (if they ever can experience them at all)." If you've been looking for a safe space to listen to helpful dialogue that won't shame you or diminish you tune into this episode of Why Tho. As promised we recommend the book The Very Good Gospel by Lisa Sharon Harper for a more in-depth discussion, and if you're a clergy leader, we recommend Lisa's coaching and speaking, through her organization, Freedom Road. We also recommend the podcast Pantsuit Politics. ("Sarah from the left. Beth from the right. No shouting. No insults. Plenty of nuance.") We're grateful you tuned in!

Why Women Are Still Not Equals Tho Apr 11, 2019

Show notes

25 minutes is not enough time to unpack the difficulties we experience as women because of our gender, but hey, here we go! It's common within nearly every context of society for women to feel subservient, or not good enough, or like the sole responsibility for all emotional and physical labor belongs to us. We think there's a better way, and that women can be, and should be valued and viewed equally. Learn with Ashley and Tiffany how to speak up, how to honor other women, and that you're not alone as you navigate the gender gaps in your sphere of influence. For more on this topic, we recommend Sarah Bessey's book, Jesus Feminist, and this incredible Ted Talk by Chimamanda Ngozi: https://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_ngozi_adichie_we_should_all_be_feminists?language=en.

Why She Bullies Tho Apr 04, 2019

Show notes

Regina George is our worst nightmare, because she grows up to become an adult, and make her own little Regina George babies that our kids have to deal with. Why tho? We've likely all experienced the overt and passive aggressive behavior from other women that discourages, silences or manipulates us. In this episode, Tiffany and Ashley unpack the She Bully, how to deal with her, and how to resist giving her power over your life.

Why That Relationship Is No Longer Working Tho Mar 28, 2019

Show notes

Oh man, we are nostalgic creatures. In the midst of a relationship that's no longer working tho, we sometimes struggle to tell ourselves the truth. Perhaps the person we're dating has been revealing their poor character, pushing our boundaries, and making us feel like crap all the time. Maybe a co-worker who used to be in our corner starts spittin' out cutting comments, or tears us down in meetings now that we're in a new position. Perhaps we've added a few babies to our marriage, and we keep trying to make things go back to what they used to be instead of embracing who we are and where we're going as a couple and family. Listen, we feel you. It can be tough to grow with others, to stick it out and change in order to flourish together. It can be incredibly difficult to let go of a relationship we thought would last forever, but we know is not building the future we hope to have. In this episode, Ashley and Tiffany tackle signs of a relationship ending, and how to move forward in a relationship, that has just transitioned to a new season. The relational struggle is real, and we're in this with you!

Why You Need Your People Tho Mar 21, 2019

Show notes

Whether we're building our dream, our family, our career, our convictions, or ideals, we all want folks in our corner who will encourage us and tell us when we're headed off a cliff. Plus, when "you know what" hits the fan, we all need our people. They'll answer the phone call at midnight. They're ready to fight an ex-boyfriend. They'll come to our kid's birthday parties (which we all know are the worst). They're supportive of our crazy ideas and never let us settle for the lesser version of ourselves. Together, we're brave and vulnerable, honest and true, hilarious and helpful. It's been said that we become like the five people we spend the most time with, so the people in our lives really matter tho. Be encouraged that even if you haven't found your dear friends, they're out there, and we want to remind you that you're not alone.
