The Solidarity Podcast: Recent Episodes
Riley Q
Welcome to the Solidarity podcast! I’m your host, Riley Q. As a mother, wife and writer I am so excited to get together each week and share stories to connect with one another, find comfort in life’s challenges and to celebrate the solidarity that is, being a woman.As women I find that we often feel alone and isolated. When we’re going through a trial we tend to look for those who have been in the same boat to know that we’re not alone. But when we don’t talk about things, that boat is nowhere to be found.That’s why I’ve decided to create a space where we talk about the good, the bad and the ugly. But we also share the beautiful, precious moments that come on the other side of the hard stuff.Every Wednesday we’ll be sharing new stories pertaining to marriage, motherhood, friendship, careers, faith, and so on. It’ll either be through my stories or the stories from other women who will be sharing periodically so that you will know that you’re not alone in your trials, frustrations, joys and discoveries.I won’t ask you to hang out for a long time, most episodes will be around 10 minutes max because let’s be honest, who’s got the time… not me.I’m so excited to have you here, if you’d like to share your story, please email me at riley@rileyq.com or DM me on Instagram or Twitter - @riley_quin.Please subscribe & turn those notifications on so you don’t miss an episode & be sure to share with a friend who is in need of encouragement.Pop in when you can and let’s celebrate being women. Cheers to solidarity!

The mom guilt cycle is REAL. Especially when you have a toddler and you’re trying to learn how to consciously parent. Even when you don’t have all of that on your plate, the cycle of guilt is real and sometimes you just need permission to set boundaries and break that cycle.

I’m sharing a beautiful story of how God so tangibly and evidently worked in our lives, 5 days in a row. I believe this was for a few different reasons but one of the most important was so that I could share and hopefully encourage anyone with our testimony to see the goodness of God. Everything isn’t good all the time, but He is good all the time.

We are pregnant with Baby Sandrell #2! Listen into this week’s episode to hear all about how I prepared for this pregnancy, a few things I’m doing a little differently and my mindset going into this year. If you’re not in this stage or if you’re not in a place to hear about pregnancy, I totally understand and I’ll be back next week with non-baby related content.

In a world where social media influences so much of our day-to-day lives, I just want to remind you that not everything is for everyone… and that’s okay! Listen in today for encouragement of how to own where you’re at and listen into what God is calling YOU too, regardless of peer pressure.

Even in the busiest moments, God is still with us. He doesn’t require quiet to speak. I encourage you, if you’re in a season of fast and loud, ask for peace and ask for Him to speak even if it’s not quiet. You may be surprised just how much you hear.

God made our bodies, He made our minds and He made our hearts and He cares about all of them and how they work together. Sometimes we focus in on one area so much that we forget the others exist. Today I’m excited to be interviewing my friend Lauren, of @laurenrachellefitnes. She is sharing her journey with health and how her relationship with God has influenced it over the years. This is such an encouraging episode if you’re struggling in any way with your body image, sense of self worth or you just need a little encouragement on how to get started or get re-motivated in your fitness journey.

Gossip. This is quite literally the last thing I wanted to talk about but I know if I asked all of the women in the world to raise their hands if they struggled with gossip, they’d all raise their hands (or at least the honest would). This is NOT a topic I wanted to talk about because I have been a horrible offender of this specific sin. But I know God wanted me to dig into this topic and share what His word has to say about this. So let’s do it. Let’s commit to holding each other accountable!

In the midst of political unrest and a lot of spiritual warfare, a lot of us feel unsettled, isolated and defeated. I want to encourage you today to use your voice and if you feel like you’ve lost it, get it back. I want to speak truth over you to replace the lies that you might be starting to believe. Most importantly, I want you to know that you’re not alone.

It seems like every week there is a new issue at hand that if we don’t speak up & out about- we are deemed problematic or insert derogatory term simply because we aren’t posting on social media or participating in whatever action has been deemed necessary to check off that box that day. It’s exhausting and everywhere we look, including in the church and among believers, we are seeing division. I want to talk about this and I challenge you to listen in and hold yourself accountable to how you’re handling these situations and how you’re treating others in the process. I believe that you can stand in “silence”, listen in and let me know what you think.

Life is predictably unpredictable. Circumstances come and go that shake us to our very core. Our emotions flip and flop and life can feel very unsteady most of the time. Thankfully God sees us and does not abandon us- in fact He provides an unshakeable foundation if we choose to root ourselves in Him. Tune in to hear my story and hear what God has to say about being in these seasons and how we can rely on Him to get us through.

I was struck with the very honest realization this week that I needed to slow down. I needed to be more intentional. Not for my own sake, but for the sake of my family. You can be busy and on top of everything, as you are, but it doesn’t mean that we can let the most important part of being a mother and a wife go. We have to slow down so we don’t miss, forget and trample with our to-do.

I've always had this longing for a rooted community, a place that felt familiar, a place that was accepting- a home that I could be a part of. The problem? Anxiety breeds procrastination and procrastination breeds isolation & I am a procrastinator with extreme anxiety. Can you relate? Have you ever put off something you desperately wanted & needed because you just couldn’t get past the first step?

Have you ever read the verse “Be still and know that I am God” and been like what the heck God, do you realize how much is going on right now? How am I supposed to be still? How am I supposed to just not be anxious and just rest in you- what does that even mean to “Be still”, I have responsibilities and goals and problems?! Relatable, right? Let’s talk about it and how we can approach this realistically as busy, burdened people and children of God.

Have you felt like you’ve been under attack lately? There’s a lot being thrown at us from all directions. I think it’s time we go back to the basics. Back to the gospel, back to scripture and back to the why & the faith that gets us to our message from our mess. Welcome back for season two!

The comparison game is REAL, but it doesn't have to be. Pinterest and Instagram, as great as they can be, are only a sliver of real life. We have an opportunity to use them as inspiration instead of idolization. We have the choice to make between authenticity and competing for the most likes. We can either choose to embrace our families for what they are or push them to the side for the sake of feeling popular. Which will you choose?

In a world that is constantly knocking to define our self worth and value, we must refocus on where our value truly lies- with WHOM our value truly lies within. Here is a reminder of how you can become grafted into God and how He sees you. It is an encouragement that I hope you will take with you and listen to when you struggle to see just how much He loves you.

The fad that is self care, while important, has often struck a nerve with me. So I want to pose the question, is self care selfish? Should followers of Jesus be hyper focused on self-care or is there a way to find rejuvenation & take care of oneself while also focusing on God? Let's chat.

Friendships can be challenging. As we navigate who we allow to influence our lives through our time and conversations, people inevitably make their way in and out. So what do you do when you're on the receiving end of a friendship breakup? Whether it happens naturally or it has a defining end, it can be painful. Let's talk about it.

I have been on a journey with my body for a few years and just as I have come to a bit of a pivotal moment, I've found myself once more discouraged by society and the latest trends that are fighting for my attention. I'm sure many of you will be able to relate, no matter where you're at with your health journey. Today I want to remind you of who God says you are in Him, why we should be taking care of ourselves and what that looks like this summer as we let go of all the expectations.

Have you ever felt anxious about your anxiety? Maybe there's anxiety about your mental state because of the church and what they teach about what God says about anxiety? I know I've been there and have often been talked down to and made to feel ashamed about having mental health issues because of certain passages. So today I want to encourage you, speak truth over you and remind you that God loves you and He's not surprised by what you're going through and He doesn't want you to walk in it alone. I hope you find some solidarity in knowing that I've walked this road as well.

Let's talk: postpartum rage. I know it's not something we usually talk about because frankly, it's embarrassing and it can feel shameful. But when those hormones are raging, your baby is screaming and you feel like you're the only one on earth who can't keep it together, you need to know that this is normal and that you are in fact very much, not alone.

I'm honored to share my friend Cassie's testimony about how she's processing her trauma and the process that God has walked her through to heal. She's talking about spiritual warfare, how it's effecting her family and how she's handling it. I also want to add a TRIGGER WARNING to let you know that she will be mentioning childhood trauma that includes sexual assault. I invite you to listen in and find solidarity in the spiritual battle that we're all facing in one way or another.

Having experienced two miscarriages of my own and getting pregnant with our double rainbow baby a year after we started trying, I know how hard it is when people talk about how easy it is to get pregnant. It can be so hurtful, even when it’s not intentional. I want to open this conversation up to those who are struggling to get pregnant, struggling with loss, infertility or secondary infertility and hopefully open the eyes of those who have been fortunate enough not to face those issues. I also want to make those of you who are walking through this season, in one way or another, feel seen, heard and loved and hopefully help you navigate the pregnancies happening all around you, even when it hurts.

There are few things that break my heart more than women who tear down women simply because they disagree with them. People are people regardless of if you agree or not and in a world where we can spout off our thoughts in seconds, we need to be much more intentional to be kind, have grace and uplift others, even when we disagree. That is how we will make a change.

My birth story is something I hold near and dear. It was beautiful but it was frankly traumatic. I share because I want other women who have been there to know that they're not alone and that their stories matter. I also share for those who have yet to give birth in hopes that you would be able to take from some of the lessons I learned and avoid some of the heartache that I endured. This is also my letter to those who work in the medical field, I hope you will hear me out and take what I say to heart.
