On todays episode of the podcast we get to hang out with Kim Ledgerwood. Kim was a police officer for 28 yrs and was diagnosed with PTSD and Anxiety. Kim thought she was functioning okay and had everything under control, not realizing her adiction was controlling her. Kim experienced a significant event that turned her life: professional, spiritual and personal completely upside-down. This caused her to start tackling her PTSD and addiction head on. In the midst of her battle, she found God. I loved my conversation with Kim and I believe you will walk away from her testimony feeling encouraged. Nothing is too big for our God!

In this episode we discuss:

  • Faith
  • Addiction
  • Mental Health
  • Water

She was once an unsuspecting wife and mother who learned about her husband’s secret life after he mysteriously died. To this day, she still questions whether his death was a suicide, assisted suicide, suggested suicide or murder.

Janet uncovered alleged Mafia ties and multiple affairs with other women. After falling into a deep depression with suicidal thoughts, she came to the realization that she needed to save herself from despair and hopelessness. She realized that she was not alone and desires to help others get through their pain.

In this episode of The Brave Podcast, we get to hang out with Elizabeth Meyers. Elizabeth shares about the death of her son, which caused her faith and reality to collide. This left her broken, discouraged, and doubting everything she thought she knew about God. She openly shares about her struggle with anxiety and depression. Going through and growing from that painful experience gave her a burden to reach out to other struggling sojourners like herself and offer them encouragement, support and, most of all, hope.
Elizabeth is a Christian author, blogger, speaker and podcaster. She is a mom to eight kiddos, airforce wife and army veteran.

Through foster care, they were blessed with their first son and then God had another blessing in store for them; Jennifer became pregnant with her first daughter Hannah, which they lost 31 hours after she was born. Jennifer talks about how she walked through grief of losing her first child, how to explain death to a young child, and dealing with the potiential of losing her second biological child Haven.

September is a special month in my book. For one, it's the gateway to Fall, my favorite season of all time. My second reason for loving this month: it's my mom's birth month. I lost my mom to cancer ten years ago. In her honor, I am featuring stories from a few awesome cancer survivors that I have met from my own journey with cancer. Each of them will share their diagnosis, how it changed their lives and what they used to cope. We all come from different backgrounds, beliefs and experiences but one thing is certain; we're all survivors.
In this episode of The Brave Podcast, we get to hang out with my friend Bethany Webb. Bethany is a five year breast cancer survivor (woot woot!). During our interview, she shares about her journey with cancer, tools she used to cope, and how her own journey led her to write her first book, My Guru Cancer.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. In this episode of The Brave Podcast, we get to hang out with my friend Pam. Pam wanted to remain anonymous for this interview but graciously shared her story of coping with anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. We talk about what to say and what not to say to someone going through mental health crisis. I hope that in listening to Pam's interview, it will chip away at some of the stigma surrounding mental illness, and encourage anyone who is struggling with this issue. You are not alone and you are loved.
There is so much more that lies behind a smile.

In this episode of The Brave Podcast, I sit down with Sherman Burkehead. Sherman is the senior pastor and teacher at First Baptist Church of Boron. Sherman’s story is an interesting one as he was a former atheist. Despite that, God was able to reach him in the most unique way- through an anti abortion billboard on the way to work. From that day forward, Sherman dedicated his life to God.

Sherman is the author of the book, Distracted, finding God in a Chaotic World. Distractions is something all of us face and his book identifies several distractions that we encounter and how to tackle them head on. We also talk a bit about evangelism and fear.

I left my interview feeling so encouraged and ready to take on my distractions. I believe you will feel the same.

Pastor Sherman holds a degree in religion (Biblical and Theological Studies) and church ministry from Liberty university, and he is currently pursuing his master of Divinity at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary. He is husband to Kimberly, who serves alongside him as the children’s director at First Baptist Church of Boron, and he is also a father of 5 and a grandfather of 2.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Faith
  • Fear
  • Sharing the Gospel

In this episode of The Brave Podcast, we get to hang out again with Tammy Jo Vinson. Tammy Jo is a bible teacher, worship leader and a creative. In our interview she talks about facing a big fear going off alone to Wales Bible College for three months. She discusses the beauty in asking for help and often how we are afraid to do so. She talks about being a creative and what that looks like in her ministry. One my favorite talking points from this interview was this: You might have a broken place in you but that doesn’t disqualify you. Often I feel that my flaws disqualify us from doing what God has for us and pursuing our best. Hearing these words were like a balm to my soul. I think this interview will do the same for you too.

Other memorable quotes from the episode:

If you’re wondering- God is real.

Love is greater than fear.

Not only Christians can talk to God.

Tammy Jo lives in Fresno CA with her husband and two children.

In this episode of The Brave Podcast, we meet my friend, Tammy Jo Vinson. Tammy Jo is a bible teacher, worship leader and a creative. In our interview she talks about teaching the bible and talking about subjects that people are afraid to discuss. She talks about being raised in fear: her violent childhood, fear of going home and fear of the bible. Despite her fear, God was able to communicate his love to her.

Despite struggling with fear, Tammy Jo found her way to God. I believe her interview will encourage anyone who has dealt with fear; there is beauty on the other side of it.

I believe you are going to love listening toTammy Jo and she will leave you feeling encouraged.

Some of my favorite quotes from this episode:
-God’s not afraid of your questions

- Sometimes we just want to quote the Bible instead of going to the author of the Bible.

Tammy Jo lives in Fresno CA with her husband and two children.

In this episode of The Brave Podcast, we continue to hang out with my friend, Danielle “DQ Quiroga. One morning while on her way to the office the unexpected happened and she found herself in the middle of a terrorist inspired act. She became one of the five victims of the UC Merced stabbings in 2015. I am blown away by all DQ has done since the incident, including becoming a Congressional award winner for the National Crime Victims caucus in 2017.

DQ continues to share details of the event and how it has changed her life. She struggled to have medical issues from the stabbing months prior that left her with some unexpected complications. She talks about recovery and living a new normal. As she was healing, several CA leaders and media reached out for her to share her story of survival with others. Although the circumstances were horrific, her attack led her to become heavily involved in victim advocacy rights and an encouragement to all those around her.

Heads up, there are graphic details regarding the attack and medical talk. If you have children or have difficulty with acts of violence or medical procedures, you may want to skip through some of this episode.

DQ is now an advisor at Fresno State. She is a dog mom to Oaklee. She is currently completing her Masters in Criminology.

  • Medical complications and procedures

In this episode ofThe Brave Podcast, we meet Tami Altice. Tami dealt with an illness that no doctor could truly pinpoint as a young mom with three littles. Tami had days of crippling fear due to her illness and not being able to properly care for her children. Doctors gave her the worst possible news; total disability by 40 and possibly not living much longer after that. Through years of suffering, Tami takes us on a journey of surrender. Tami shares what it is like to completely trust God, even when her body has failed her. If you’ve ever dealt with chronic illness, this is the episode to hear.

We also dive into spiritual warfare and knowing when the battle is yours and when the battle is Gods. Tami said something that really struck with me; sometimes we engage the enemy and it isn’t our battle. God fights for us. We also dive into abiding and resting with God. Her words were so helpful for me; I am a big doer and struggle with resting. If you relate to this in anyway, you don’t want to miss our conversation.

Tami Altice lives in Fresno with her husband Mike and two kids. She helps with counseling at the Revival Center

In this episode, we discuss:

  • God
  • Abiding

Ron shares his love for all things finance and his desire to lead everyone to financial freedom. Ron then dives into his journey into adoption and how it greatly formed his faith. His adoption story had me on the edge of my seat, completely in awe at how Ron continued to hold on to his faith when every door on adoption was supposedly closing. You’re going to love how his story ends and I hope you walk away from our time feeling as encouraged as I did.

Ron is a social worker by trade, a father of three and a future financial coach/ podcaster.

In this episode of The Brave Podcast, we continue our interview with Alena Orwin-Rogel. This is the final episode in my series with Alena. Just to recap, I’ve known Alena since elementary school. Through social media, we’ve been able to keep in touch and encourage each other as sisters in Christ. In 2018, Alena and her family were torn apart when her husband, Omar was deported to Mexico.

In our final episode, Alena talks about coming to grips with relocating her family to Mexico. She speaks honestly about her fear moving to an unknown place and leaving behind everything she ever knew to to reunite her family. I love the honesty and bravery Alena shares in this interview. Towards the end, you'll learn about a new opportunity for Alena and Omar, and how you can offer support.

I was nervous to share this story as immigration is a hot topic in our country and the views on it can be very polarized. But, when God tells you to do something, you must obey.

In this episode of The Brave Podcast, we continue our interview withAlena Orwin-Rogel. I’ve known Alena since elementary school. Through social media, we’ve been able to keep in touch and encourage each other as sisters in Christ. In 2018, Alena and her family were torn apart when her husband, Omar was deported to Mexico. Alena shares her story as she walks through the immgration process and living abroad in Mexico. During her trial, she shares how it has affected her faith as well as discussing some new plans that God has for her and her family.

I was nervous to share this story as immigration is a hot topic in our country and the views on it can be very polarized. But, when God tells you to do something, you must obey. I hope you will be encouraged listening to Alena’s story; her bravery amazes me and it was such an honor that she allowed me to talk to her.

This interview is a three part series and this is episode two of three.

Heads up, Alena is the mom to three beautiful children and you’ll be able to hear them playing in the background. It sounds like they were having a great time!

Welcome friends! In this episode of the Brave Podcast, we get to chat again with my good friend, Katie Joy. Last week, Katie shared some intimate details about her past regarding brokenness. This week, Katie dives into marriage, and gives us a glimpse into her married life. She tells us how she met James, their struggles as a couple and where they are now after 18 years of marriage.

After we turned the microphone off, Katie and I talked about being creatives and some of the fears that come with putting yourself out there as a creative. Katie requested that we turn the microphone back on, and she shares some wisdom that you don’t want to miss. One of my big takeaways from our conversation was this: asking God not to have disdain for what you create. As creatives, we can have a lot of uncertainty and doubt regarding what we make. But when we ask God that we have a love for what we’re putting out there, it makes all the difference and allows us to be more free in our creativity.

Heads up, Katie is the mom to three fur babies and they make a guest appearance in this episode.

Katie is the vocalist for the band, Changing Names with her husband James. James is the owner/ creator of JNK music and has a studio in Kingsburg, CA.

In this episode of the Brave Podcast, we get to chat with my good friend, Katie Joy. This interview is special because we’ll get to hear from Katie for the next two weeks! For the first part of the interview, she shares about how God led her to become a musician and how Changing Names got started. She also shares intimate details regarding herself and her family. Lastly Katie discusses perfectionism and the importance of counseling.

Heads up, Katie is the mom to three fur babies and they make a guest appearance in this episode and the next.

Katie is the vocalist for the band, Changing Names with her husband James. As an added treat, I’ve included a song from their album Lovely Deceit, called Scars, that will play at the end of the interview. It seemed to be the perfect fit for our podcast topic. I’ll include their band website in the links below so you can be in the know regarding all things Changing Names and find their latest album.

I enjoyed so much getting to sit down with Katie and learn more about her life. I hope you’ll enjoy this interview as much as I have.

In this episode of The Brave Podcast, we meet Nicole and Michael Moses. This interview was especially special to do as this would be my first couple interview! Michael (who we all call Moses) happened to be there during the interview with his wife Nikki and when he started giving input, I decided to pull him into it! I love how open and willing they both were while we chatted. In this interview we talked about grief, loss, faith, marriage and parenthood.

Head’s up, you’re going to hear a lot of background noise of Nikki in the kitchen because she was making homemade soft pretzels! They. Were. AMAZING. It was seriously all I ate for dinner the next day. They are super easy to make and extremely yummy. I’ll post the recipe in the link below.

About my guests:

Nikki is a very talented creative. She enjoys writing fiction, photography, painting, and cooking.

Moses is a History teacher and a high school football and wrestling coach here in the Central Valley.

Both are parents to two adorable littles, and they reside in Kingsburg, CA.

In this episode of The Brave Podcast, we meet Samantha Glenn. Sam is one of my favorite people. We met about 4 years ago at the Revival Center in Clovis. She has the biggest heart and brings joy to every room she enters.

At the time of this interview, Sam and I are attending our church’s women’s retreat: Queen Camp. She is my first live guest and I was so honored to have her on my show. When preparing for this interview, God said: “just let her talk!” I was a bit nervous doing that, but I am so glad I did. I hope you love my conversation with Sam as much as I did. I loved her vulnerability and willingness to share everything, even the hard things.

Sam has the gift of giving and is a major part of why this podcast exists. During our time together, Sam gives us a brief glimpse into her life: How she met her current husband Devin, how the birth of her daughter helped her return to God, her journey with Church of Christ and how she got involved with our current church the Revival Center.

Sam is a mom of two kiddos. She’s been married to Devin for 13 years and they are enjoying their new home in Clovis, CA.
