Ever found yourself in a predicament because your body is going through changes you don't quite understand? Or perhaps you're struggling to find your identity amidst the pressures of social media, comparison, and the expectation to constantly achieve? Well, ladies, you're not alone. I'm accompanied by four incredibly inspiring women - Sue Donaldson, Ruthie Gray, Susan Macias, and Carol Feil - who have each navigated their unique journeys and have come to share their wisdom on these common, yet often overlooked subjects.
Our conversation doesn't shy away from the personal, the profound, or the downright hilarious. We candidly tackle the often-ignored topic of menopause and each share our own experiences with hormone replacement and our strategies for coping with life's inevitable transitions. I think you'll find comfort and camaraderie in our tales of overcoming fears, breaking free from societal timelines, and taking action, no matter what stage of life you're in.
But that's not all. We dive deep into the challenges of finding your true identity in a world that demands comparison. We discuss the power of authentic communication, and the importance of being true to yourself. Wherever you are in your faith journey, whether you feel you're just starting out or you've been walking the path for decades, this episode is for you. So, get comfortable, grab a cuppa, and join us for a conversation that will have you nodding in agreement, laughing out loud, and maybe even shedding a tear or two. You won't want to miss it.

Have you ever found yourself tangled in the web of emotional baggage or addiction? Today, we are joined by a beacon of hope, Mark DeJesus. With his personal tales of transformation and healing, Mark, a former pastor, author, and now a podcaster, is on a mission to help those caught in similar struggles. We journey through his poignant experiences of leaving the confines of a church model that prioritized performance over grace and love. His deep-seated insights about promoting healing, stepping back, and creating room for grace are bound to touch your heart.
Building authentic communities within the church is a recurring theme in our enlightening conversation with Mark. He divulges his discovery of a different, more wholesome approach to ministering and connecting with people. This approach has united him with a supportive community of believers, enriching his understanding of what it means to live life to the fullest as believers. Hear about the significance of humility and transformation in Mark's life, how it led to a deeper understanding of his brokenness and became a stepping stone to breaking down family dysfunction.
Finally, we delve into the heart of teaching, healing, and humility with Mark. His journey from his thirties to his fifties is a testament to the power of humility in dismantling familial dysfunction and unhealthy thought patterns. Mark warmly invites everyone to connect with him through his books, website, and podcast. His inspiring shift from the pressure of performance to a mindset of kindness and compassion is a lesson in itself. If you're seeking to break free from the shackles of performance metrics or merely want to learn to be kinder and more patient towards yourself, this episode is a must-listen.

Have you ever wondered how our dietary choices influence our blood sugar and dopamine levels, or how insulin works to store fat in our bodies? There's a great deal to unravel when it comes to understanding our metabolic health. In our recent chat with Sue Cramer, a certified life and wellness coach, we delve into this complex issue, discussing the intricate connection between food addiction, emotional eating, and metabolic health. Sue offers practical advice on forming healthier habits, identifying triggers, and addressing underlying issues - indispensable for anyone seeking a healthier lifestyle.
There's more to wellness than just physical health. Our conversation takes an enlightening turn as we navigate the often overlooked aspects of inner healing, grieving healthily, and forming a connection with God for improved spiritual wellness. Sue’s incredible journey battling a mixed connective tissue disease and her triumph through dietary changes offer invaluable insights into the process of reclaiming one's health. As she aptly explains, acknowledging who we are as children of God, provides a secure foundation for our identity and purpose, impacting our overall well-being.
To wrap up our conversation, we delve into the joy of movement and the power of accepting that we are enough. Sue's empowering message about embracing our identity and finding confidence through spiritual and physical wellness is profoundly inspiring.

Being deeply rooted in God's unchanging character is a contrast to the worlds call to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps". Learning who He is, challenges us to trust Him more. Carol joins me today to chat about embracing the different seasons of life, how we can listen and learn from God and how her yellow boots have inspired her (and hopefully you too!) to listen and learn. At the end of the day, God meets us where we are -- and He will transform us, if we allow Him to.

Lori Ann encountered a major setback one Thanksgiving weekend and her life changed forever because of it. Today we spend some time chatting about that detour, how she walked through it and what she learned from it. She encourages others to wrestle with their faith, especially along the unplanned paths of life, whether that is a health detour, a financial detour, a relationship detour. This will result in a stronger belief system.
Her book, Divine Detour: The Path You'd Never Choose Can Lead to the Faith You've Always Wanted is available on her website!

Suffering isn't something any of us want or choose to endure. But it's something we all face in varying degrees. Karis encountered an illness right after her honeymoon and has been dealing with chronic illness ever since.
But God has walked her through some amazing healing moments -- emotionally and spiritually. From that, she's written a book of her journey and today she'll talk about what suffering well looks like for a child of God.

My long-time friend, Melissa Mashburn joins me on today's podcast to talk about all things "women in ministry." Personally I wish it wasn't a topic that we still had to talk about, but we do.
Melissa wrote a book, "Ministry Chick: Find Your Community, Own Your Leadership, Take Your Step" that basically helps women who feel called into ministry how to do just what that title says: find your community, own your leadership and take your step.
We talk about how this practically works and what it looks like to help others find their place on the wall!

I wish I could find the best words to describe Jim Brackett. He's one of those people who change the atmosphere of a room, simply by walking in. He carries the Father's love in a palpable way. We sat down and talked about how this deep experience of the Father's love in his life changed him forever and motivates him, to this day, to be a father in the Kingdom.

Toward the end of the interview she also shares some prophetic insight she has into the coming year and what she believes God is saying to the kingdom!
