Hey Friend! This is a special one because I am bringing you chapter one of Standing Strong called “You Were Born for This.” I hope you will find it super encouraging.
In this chapter, I will talk to you about defeating self-doubt and moving on to God's purpose in your life. Why God, I believe, is calling us to be more than enough and how to stand strong in God's power. I hope it blesses you and helps you stand strong in the new year.

Welcome back to the show! We are thrilled to bring you part two of our “Finishing Strong End of Year Review Series.” Think of these three episodes as your own personal mini-coaching sessions

These questions unlock clarity, prompt deep reflection, and help you gain a true understanding of what you want and where you're headed in life. That's incredibly powerful. Today, we're diving into a crucial aspect of our lives—our relationships.

I have so many great things to share this week!
Christmas song this week - Angels We Have Heard on High by Andrea Bocelli. It’s on the Holly Jolly playlist and the link is below.
The movie this week is a cute/bad movie: Red Notice. It is the combination of little parts of every 90’s Christmas family movie and putting them into one movie. It's pretty boring, but for a ten or twelve year old, it is good. Otherwise, it’s not that great.
I’ve started using Mason Jars for storing left overs. We all know we shouldn’t put warm food into plastic containers because it leaches into your food. And far less expensive than the glass storage containers.

Welcome to part one of our end-of-year review series. We will have three episodes that we are referring to as the “Finishing Strong Series.” Every December, I do an in-depth end-of-year review with my clients and give you a peek into that experience.
The most powerful thing about coaching is having someone know you and your work so well they can advise you on what to do. But after that, the most powerful part is the power of the perfect question at the right time to unlock clarity.
This is a time to pause, look back, and celebrate everything this year brought us, whether it was a win, a challenge, or a lesson. Today, we are going to reflect on personal growth and achievements.

Recommendations of things that I love:
The peak Christmas song for me, with the only voice for Christmas, is Martina McBride’s Oh Holy Night.
My second recommendation is a TV show on Apple TV: Disclaimer. It’s only seven episodes. It’s simple, full of twists, and a thriller that’s really well made. The subject matter is a little heavy, but if you like something a little twisty, this is the show for you.

Welcome back! Today, we're with Mark Batterson, a New York Times bestselling author and an amazing pastor and leader.
We're talking about finishing the year strong. This conversation is a great reminder of how we need to look at life and that God has so much for us that sometimes, in the hustle and bustle of daily life and the stress of daily life, we don't fully recognize.
Mark Batterson serves as lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, DC. He is a best-selling author of 23 books. He also serves as lead visionary for The Dream Collective, which equips and supports dreamers who long for revival in the church, reformation in the kingdom, and renaissance in culture.
In Mark’s newest book, A Million Little Miracles: Rediscover the God Who Is Bigger Than Big, Closer Than Close, and Gooder Than Good, he reminds us of the millions of miracles God performs every day and inspires us to live with a clearer sense of identity and purpose.
Great things Mark and I discussed today:
(4:25) Everyday miracles
(11:28) The miracle of play
(15:00) Barriers that keep us from seeing everyday miracles in our lives
(15:54) First step to identifying the little miracles in our lives to feel re-enchanted

Welcome back! We are in our Finishing Strong Series. We want to finish this year strong and head into the new year strong.
Today, I want to talk to you about the life-changing power of micro habits and another superpower that will transform your life. It's called compounding. It's more than numbers. Compounding is about how small actions done consistently over time will multiply their impact in ways that we can't even imagine.

Welcome back! In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that affects us all: stress. I’ll share my personal journey of realizing—thanks to my Apple Watch—that I was living in constant fight-or-flight mode. From that wake-up call, I learned powerful ways to calm my body and create a healthier balance.
We’ll explore the surprising signs of stress that might be flying under your radar and how chronic stress impacts your health long-term. I’ll also break down the science of restorative activities and why they’re vital for your physical and mental well-being.
You’ll hear practical tips you can implement today—like breathing exercises, movement, and prioritizing rest—to help you thrive, not just survive. Plus, I’ll talk about the concept of toxic resilience, the importance of recovery, and how to recognize the delayed stress response many of us feel after powering through tough times.
As always, I’ll leave you with encouragement to invest in yourself because your health and strength don’t just benefit you—they uplift everyone around you.
Let’s prioritize rest, embrace balance, and step into the life God has created us for. I’m so excited to coach and encourage you as we tackle stress together. You’ve got this!

Hey friends, welcome back to the show! Today’s episode is one I’m so excited to share because it’s packed with encouragement, hope, and practical solutions. We’re diving into a topic that so many women have questions about but often feel hesitant to bring up — perimenopause.
Let me ask :
Hot flashes, fatigue, memory lapses—it can feel like our bodies are turning against us, right? Well, friends, I want you to know you’re not alone, and there are answers.
Today, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Mikala Albertson, a board-certified family practice doctor, women’s health advocate, and someone who has a gift for meeting us right in the middle of our messy, ordinary lives. Mikala’s new book, Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife: A Woman’s Guide to Health in the Body You Actually Have, is a powerful resource full of gentle wisdom and practical advice for navigating this season with confidence and grace.
This conversation isn’t just about symptoms; it’s about finding hope, embracing the changes, and stepping into this stage of life feeling empowered and supported. Because here’s the truth: Midlife isn’t the beginning of the end—it’s the start of a whole new chapter, and I want you to feel amazing as you write it.
So, grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and join us as we unpack the mysteries of perimenopause and uncover solutions that can make a real difference in your life. You’ve got this, and we’re here to help you along the way!
Favorite Quotes:
06:54 - “If we go through the whole list of things and symptoms that can come along with perimenopause, it affects nearly every organ system.”
08:29 - “After we go through menopause, that symptom seems to fix itself. So it's not permanent. It's not forever.”
11:38 - “We have found that estrogen and progesterone both are really important in other areas of the body.”
19:52 - “We can take care of our bodies in a much better way without the focus on what our weight is or appearance.”

Hey friends! Welcome back to the show. Today, we're continuing the health series with one of the most important topics: our overall health, our mood, and even how we show up in our relationships and our work. I'm talking about sleep. It is something so basic to our lives, but we don't give it the credit it really deserves.
It is the easiest thing to sacrifice when life gets busy. I will tell you what you need to know, why it's important, and small habits that you can have in your life to feel a lot better.
It is so tempting to push sleep aside. I’m here to tell you why sleep is nonnegotiable. Consider today your friendly reminder to give yourself permission to rest well so you can feel amazing. Sleep is a superpower, and today, we talk about why sleep is so important.
Favorite Quotes:
01:13 - “Sleep is a superpower in this society. Sleep isn't just about feeling rested. It's actually the foundation for everything else.”
04:13 - “Sleep is like your emotional thermostat, and when you don't get enough of it, the thermostat goes haywire.”
05:48 - “The truth is when we sleep more, it helps us stay looking younger.”
21:06 - “I know it can be hard to prioritize sleep, but with everything else going on in life, it's one of the best investments you can make.”
21:15 - “When you sleep better, you live better.”

Welcome back! This week, we are with Jonathan Hoover. We are going to learn all about how to protect ourselves from burnout, if we're burned out, how to heal, how to recover, and how to manage our stress in a healthy way.
This is such an important topic in our health series because so much of our health has to do with how we are doing and how we're managing stress. Are we on the verge of burnout? Are we just emotionally overwhelmed? Are we weary? These are the things that we need to talk about. We're going to get strategies and tools. We're going to have some light bulb moments. And even though the topic's a little bit heavy, we're going to have a lot of fun.
Jonathan Hoover, PhD, serves as the Senior Associate Pastor of NewSpring Church in Wichita, Kansas. He also works as an Assistant Professor at Regent University’s School of Psychology and Counseling, where he is the Director of the Master of Science in Psychology program.
In Jonathan’s new book, Stress Fracture: Your Ultimate Guide to Beating Burnout, he shares how to reclaim control of your life and win the battle against burnout.
Join Jonathan and I as we talk about:04:19 - “We give the best version of ourselves to God and to our family when we are managing our stress load and taking care of ourselves.”
14:39 - “Burnout happens because of an accumulation of things.”
18:06 - “It's important to trust that feeling that something isn't quite right.”
30:23 - “Attitudes are contagious, but burnout is incredibly contagious.”
30:56 - “God designed us to be more active than what most of us are in our culture.”
