Take a look back at your life five years ago. Who did you talk to all the time? Who was part of your everyday world? Now look at your life today. Chances are, the picture has changed.

In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we’re talking about the natural shifts that happen in our relationships as life moves forward. Sometimes people move away. Seasons change. Kids grow up. Jobs change. We get older. Priorities shift. And yes, sometimes we simply outgrow a relationship, or realize it belonged beautifully to a particular season.

That doesn’t mean something went wrong.

We talk about the harder side of those transitions, too: What do you do when someone who once played a significant role in your life simply isn’t part of it anymore? How do you honor what a relationship was without believing you have to somehow recreate it? And how do you stay open to the new people God may be bringing into your life?

Growing is a good thing. And sometimes part of growing is recognizing that not everyone is meant to occupy the same place in every chapter.

You’re not necessarily losing something. You may simply be making room for what—and who—is part of the season ahead.

Pull up a chair and join us. We’re Keepin’ It Real about friendships, changing seasons, letting go without bitterness, and trusting that God knows exactly who we need along the way.

Church is supposed to be a place of hope, healing, and belonging...so what happens when the deepest hurt comes from inside its walls?

In this heartfelt conversation, we're keeping it real about church hurt—the words that wounded, the relationships that broke, the disappointments that linger, and why so many people quietly walk away. If you've ever found yourself wondering whether it's safer to love Jesus from a distance than risk being hurt again, you're not alone.

Together we'll talk about the difference between God's heart and people's imperfections, why pain caused by people doesn't change God's character, and how healing doesn't always begin with returning to a building—but with allowing the Lord to restore trust, one step at a time.

If you've been carrying disappointment, anger, or grief because of your church experience, we hope this conversation reminds you that your story isn't over. God still sees you, still loves you, and still designed you for authentic community. Healing is possible, and sometimes the first step is simply believing that your past doesn't have to define your future.

If you joined us for Part 1 of our conversation on menopause, thanks for coming back. And if this is your first time with us...pull up a chair. We're so glad you're here.

One thing we've discovered is that when women start talking honestly about what's happening with their health, something amazing happens—we realize we're not the only ones. So many of us have thought, "Is this just me?" or "Why didn't anyone tell me this?"

That's exactly why we're having this conversation.

Here on Keepin' It Real, we're going to keep it real about our health, too. We're laughing through some of it, learning through all of it, and reminding each other that there is absolutely no shame in asking questions or sharing our experiences.

Whether you're driving to work, folding laundry, walking the dog, or just needing a friend for a little while—we're grateful you're here. We hope every episode reminds you that you are seen, valued, and never walking alone.

So settle in... because today we're talking about navigating the changes, finding what helps, and, maybe most importantly, discovering there is still so much to look forward to.

Keepin' It Real Question

What is one thing you've started to do in this season that is helping you feel more like yourself?

In this episode, we talk about:

The moment many of us realize our bodies have changed.
Why exhaustion isn't something we can always "push through" anymore.
Learning to listen to what our bodies are telling us instead of fighting them.
How paying attention to our emotional well-being is just as important as caring for our physical health.
The practical things we're trying that are helping us feel stronger, healthier, and more like ourselves again.
And best of all...why menopause isn't the end of something beautiful—it can actually be the beginning of a season filled with wisdom, confidence, freedom, and purpose.

Because while our bodies may change...our purpose doesn't.

So grab your favorite drink, pull up a chair, and join the conversation. We think you'll leave encouraged...and maybe even excited about what's ahead.

Menopause. The season where you can walk into a room and forget why you're there, need a sweater and a fan at the exact same time, and cry over a commercial about puppies...all before lunch.

In this episode of Keepin' It Real, we tackle the often hilarious, sometimes frustrating, and very real journey of menopause. From hot flashes and brain fog to sleep struggles, changing bodies, and shifting emotions, we're talking about the things women whisper about, but rarely discuss openly.

We'll share stories, laughter, encouragement, and a reminder that this season doesn't mean you're losing yourself. In many ways, it can be the beginning of discovering a stronger, wiser, and more confident version of who God created you to be.

Whether you're in the middle of menopause, approaching it, or supporting someone who is, pull up a chair and join the conversation. You're not alone—and yes, someone else is carrying a fan in her purse too.

Listen for the Keepin' it Real Question in this episode, and email us and tell us about your answer! We'd love to hear from you!

There may be nothing harder than watching someone you love make choices you know could hurt them. Especially when it’s your child. Whether they’re little or fully grown, the ache can feel the same… the sleeplessness, the prayers, the wondering, and the hope that refuses to completely let go.

In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we talk honestly about how to hold on to faith when things feel painfully out of our hands.

We unpack the story of the prodigal son and the powerful reminder that the father let him go.

We discuss what it means to “unblend” our lives emotionally, remembering that our children belong to God first before they were ever entrusted to us.

And we talk about hope. The kind that keeps praying. The kind that stands at the window, believing God is still writing the story. Because mama bear prayers? They matter more than we know.

Have you ever had to love someone who was making choices you knew could hurt them, but you felt completely powerless to help?

Why do so many of us avoid hard conversations…even when something really needs to be said? In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we’re talking honestly about conflict avoidance — the tension between wanting to keep the peace and knowing when it’s time to use your voice.

We dive into the reasons many women stay quiet, what happens when feelings get buried too long, and how avoiding conflict can quietly affect our relationships, confidence, faith, and emotional health. We also talk about the difference between being a peacemaker and simply keeping everyone comfortable while losing yourself in the process.

This conversation is for the woman who replays conversations in her head later, thinking, “I should have said something.” It’s for the one who fears disappointing people, rocking the boat, or being misunderstood. And it’s for anyone learning that healthy communication doesn’t have to mean drama.

With honesty, humor, faith, and practical encouragement, we explore how to speak truth with grace, set healthy boundaries, and stop carrying conversations that were never meant to stay trapped inside your heart.

Keepin’ It Real Question: What is your 'go to' reaction when there's an opportunity for conflict? Do you engage or avoid?

What if the story you’ve been calling “ordinary”… is actually the most powerful part of your life?

In this episode, we lean into the power of storytelling, the kind that doesn’t need a spotlight, a stage, or a perfect ending to matter. Because the truth is, your story isn’t just a collection of moments… it’s a thread that connects, heals, and reminds others they’re not alone.

We talk about the quiet ways we’ve minimized our own stories, thinking they were too ordinary, too messy, or not “important enough,” and how that belief can keep us from sharing something that could deeply impact someone else.

Your story has value. Right where you are. Just as it is.

Keepin’ It Real Question:
Has there ever been a time when you thought your story didn’t matter or was too ordinary?

This one might just shift the way you see your life through the lens of a story, and the courage it takes to share it.

When was the last time you truly allowed yourself to dream?

Not the kind of dreams you have at night, but the ones that live deep in your heart. The ideas, desires, and visions that once felt alive… but may have slowly faded over time.

In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we’re having an honest conversation about what happens when dreaming gets buried under life. When you feel drained, lackluster, or unsure if you even have the energy to pursue what once mattered to you.

We talk about:

The difference between surface-level thinking and heart-level dreaming
How disappointment and unmet expectations can quietly shut dreams down
What Scripture says about dreams, visions, and purpose
The subtle moment when we realize… it’s been a long time since I’ve dreamed at all
And how to gently begin opening that door again

This conversation isn’t about pressure; it’s about permission.

Permission to notice what’s been tucked away.
And permission to believe that something new, or even something old, might still be waiting for you.

When our world feels heavy, it’s easy to carry more than we were ever meant to hold.

In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we lean into an honest and heartfelt conversation about what it looks like to live with hope, even when everything around us feels overwhelming.

As women, we often find ourselves carrying the weight of our families, our responsibilities, and even the brokenness we see in the world. But what happens when that weight starts to steal our peace?

We talk about the subtle ways heaviness creeps in… and how, before we know it, we’re holding things God never asked us to carry.

Together, we explore:

How to recognize when the weight of the world is becoming too much
The difference between caring deeply and carrying everything
What it truly means to release our burdens and place them back into God’s hands
Practical and spiritual ways to protect your peace and guard your hope

This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that hope is not found in controlling what’s happening around us, but in trusting the One who is still in control.

If you’ve been feeling weary, heavy, or just a little overwhelmed… this conversation is for you.

In Part 2 of our conversation on the deconstruction of faith, we go deeper into the questions:

Why do people leave their faith?
What happens when you, or someone you love, says, “I’m just not sure anymore”?
And what do you do when the questions don’t feel like 'just a phase'?

In this episode, we explore the difference between questioning God and walking away from Him, and why so many people begin to ask not just what they believe, but why they believe it.

This isn’t a conversation filled with easy answers.

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, felt disoriented in your beliefs, or walked alongside someone who has, this episode will meet you there.

This episode is intended for reflection and conversation, not diagnosis or one-size-fits-all advice. Our heart is to explore this topic thoughtfully, through a Christian lens, for women, with wisdom, grace, and prayerful discernment.

“Deconstruction” has become one of the most talked-about words in conversations about faith today. But behind the headlines and hashtags are real people asking real questions.

In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we open an honest conversation about what faith deconstruction actually means, and why so many people are wrestling with it right now. It’s not just a topic in culture; it’s something many women are navigating in their own hearts, in conversations with their kids, and with their parents or grandparents.

Together, we explore the questions many believers eventually face:
What do I believe?
And why do I believe it?

Rather than running from the tension, we talk about how honest questions can become a doorway to deeper faith and how prayer becomes an anchor when life’s uncertainties start to shake the foundations.

Our Keepin’ It Real question for this episode:
Have you ever gone through a season where you questioned what you believe about God?

In Part 2 of our conversation on emotional cutoff, we’re stepping even further into the tension most people feel but rarely name.

Have you been cut off by someone you love?
Or have you been the one who quietly, or decisively, did the cutting?

There is no judgment here.
Just honest conversation and room for every story.

In this episode, we explore:

The difference between healthy boundaries and emotional cutoff
Why cutoff feels protective in the moment
The quiet grief that often follows
What this pattern is doing to families, friendships, and our culture
And how we move forward without shame

We’ll talk about the societal impact of “canceling” people in our personal lives, the rise of self-protection language, and how to discern when space is wise… and when it may be avoidance.

Whether you’re carrying the ache of being cut off or wrestling with your own decision to create distance, this is a space to think, reflect, and breathe.

Real life is complicated.
We’re here to talk about it.

This episode is intended for reflection and conversation, not diagnosis or one-size-fits-all advice. We recognize that some relationships require distance for safety and healing.

Cutting people off has quietly become one of the most common forms of "self-care" in our culture.

In this Part 1 episode of Keepin’ It Real, we take an honest, compassionate look at boundary-setting and where it can slowly shift into emotional cutoff.

As Christian women, we’re called to guard our hearts…but we’re also called to love well, pursue peace, and walk in truth.

So how do we know the difference between a healthy boundary and a wall built from hurt, fear, or unresolved pain?

In this conversation, we explore:

What emotional cutoff actually looks like in real life
Why “cutting people off” can feel empowering—but often leaves deeper wounds
How boundaries sometimes become confused with bitterness or avoidance
A faith-centered way to think about protection, distance, forgiveness, and wisdom

This isn’t a conversation rooted in judgment. It’s rooted in discernment, grace, and healing.

If you’ve ever been cut off…or if you’ve wondered whether distance was necessary, or just easier…this episode is for you.

Our KIR Question: Have you ever experienced being cut off—or do you know someone who has?

Legacy moves beyond last names, family trees, or picture-perfect backgrounds. In fact, it moves into the moments that most people may never see. For those who come from complicated families… or who struggle to see how their lives could possibly matter to anyone else…this conversation is for you.

What does it really mean to live a life of legacy? What if the way you love, show up, pray, encourage, or simply stay faithful is shaping something far bigger than you realize?

We unpack how shifting our focus from what others think to what God has called us to do frees us to let our light shine. Not for recognition. Not for applause. But to glorify God.

Our hope is that you walk away encouraged, reminded that you are leaving a legacy, for your family, your friends, and for people who will come after you… whether you ever see it or not.

And as always, we invite you to sit with the Keepin’ It Real Question and ask it of yourself. “Is there someone who has left a legacy for you — in a good way — who may never know it this side of heaven?”

There’s a particular kind of woman people instinctively run to when life falls apart. She’s strong. She listens well. She prays. She shows up. And before she knows it, she’s carrying everyone else’s stories, struggles, and pain, often quietly, and usually without complaint.

In this episode of Keepin' It Real, Kimberly Haar and Kimberly Mullen talk honestly about what it’s like to be the go-to woman...the one people lean on, vent to, and expect always to have the strength, the words, and the faith to hold it all together.

We unpack the difference between being present and taking responsibility… between loving people well and slowly draining your own emotional and spiritual stamina. We talk about why you don’t have to fix, solve, or even respond with the perfect words, and how sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is let someone know you’re thinking about them and praying for them.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that just because you can carry something doesn’t mean you’re meant to. Ultimately, God is the One who carries burdens, not us.

Keepin’ It Real Question:
Are you the go-to person for friends and family? If so, how do you keep from wearing out?

There’s something undeniably powerful about a woman who shows up for another woman. Not in grand, cinematic moments—though those happen, too—but in the quiet, everyday ways that remind us we’re not walking this life alone.

This episode is all about that sacred gift: women showing up for women.

We’re talking about the friend who helps you pick out an outfit when you can’t decide.

The auntie-type who gives the kind of advice that saves you five years of heartache.

The sister in Christ who sits with you in silence when life knocks the breath out of you—no answers, just presence.

And yes… the woman who prays you through something you didn’t even have the words for.

These moments matter. They shape us. They steady us. They remind us that God often wraps His love in the voice, arms, and wisdom of another woman.

✨ Our Keepin’ It Real Question:
“Tell me about a time a woman showed up for you.”
Your story might be sweet, simple, hilarious—or holy. They all count.

Because here’s the truth:
Sometimes you’re the one who shows up.
And sometimes you’re the one who needs someone to show up for you.

That’s the beauty of genuine relationships.

If that resonates with you, we invite you to reach out. We’d be honored to learn more about your group and explore what it could look like to come alongside you.

Burnout doesn’t always show up like a collapse — sometimes it sneaks in quietly, one “I’m fine” at a time. You’re doing all the things… serving, working, praying, saying yes… and yet something inside feels dim, off, disconnected.

In this conversation, we get real about what burnout looks like for women who genuinely love God but suddenly find the fire low, the joy thin, and the connection flickering.

We unpack the subtle signs most of us ignore — the irritability, the numbness, the going-through-the-motions. And we talk about why burnout doesn’t make you weak or unspiritual…it makes you human.

More importantly, we explore what it actually looks like to reignite the fire — not through guilt or striving, but through grace, rest, honesty, boundaries, and simple, practical shifts that create space for the Spirit to breathe again.

This one’s for the woman who’s been pushing, carrying, pouring out… and suddenly realizes she’s running on fumes.

Keepin’ It Real Question:

Have you ever found yourself doing all the things, but something still felt off — and later realized you were burned out? What did that look like for you?

Take a breath. Let the Lord meet you here. You’re not alone — and you’re not meant to burn out to prove your faith.

When someone’s words hit that tender spot…ouch! Criticism can sting — even when it seems small, unintentional, or wrapped in a tone we don’t prefer. And if we’re honest, our knee-jerk reactions usually tell the truth long before our heart catches up.

In this conversation, we pull back the curtain on what really happens inside us when we feel judged or criticized. We talk about the things we wish didn’t bother us — but do. We look at what Scripture says about guarding our hearts without hardening them. And we wrestle with the tricky balance: how to receive feedback without letting it define us and how to make sure we’re not becoming the very critical spirit we dislike in others.

This is a grace-filled, honest, sometimes funny, and deeply practical conversation about emotional maturity, spiritual growth, and what it looks like to stay steady when the sting is real.

Keepin’ It Real Question:
What is your knee-jerk reaction when you feel criticized? And why do you think that shows up the way it does?

If you’ve ever battled people-pleasing, defensiveness, overthinking, or the deep desire to crawl into a cave and not come out — this one's for you.

Lean in. Let God speak. Let your confidence settle in Him again.

Maybe it’s time to put away the cape — the one with the supersized “S” — and remember that strength isn’t in doing it all, it’s in depending on the One who already did it all.

We all know her, that woman who seems to do it all and make it look effortless. Somewhere along the way, many of us started believing we had to be her, too. But behind the cape, the smile, and the color-coded calendar is often a heart running on empty.

In this Keepin’ It Real episode, we unpack the myth that we have to be all things to all people. Through honest reflection and a little laughter, we talk about the idea that God never asked us to be Superwoman — just faithful women who know when to show up, when to rest, and when to hand it back to Him.

💭 Keepin’ It Real Question:
Are there areas in your life where you feel like you have to be all things to all people?
We’d love to hear your story and what topics you’d like us to dig into next on Keepin’ It Real.

We live in a world that applauds hustle, but hustle without boundaries leads to burnout. In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we discuss the importance of balance, including knowing when to say yes, when to say no, and setting healthy guardrails that protect your energy, time, and peace. Boundaries aren’t barriers to keep people out; they’re bridges to keep you strong enough to stay in the game for the long haul.

From practical strategies to spiritual wisdom, we’ll look at how creating balance helps you avoid exhaustion and actually enjoy the life God has given you. If you’ve been running on empty, this one’s for you.

Our Keepin' It Real question: Is there something you love doing that takes up too much of your time?

Aging, it’s something we all do, but the way we think about it can either hold us back or set us free. In this episode of Keepin' It Real, we’re asking the hard but honest questions: What messages have we told ourselves about getting older? How has our perspective shifted from our 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond? And how do cultural expectations of women play into the way we see ourselves in the mirror and in the world?

From gray hairs and laugh lines to wisdom and resilience, we’ll uncover the real story behind the aging process—what we lose, what we gain, and how we can learn to embrace the season we’re in with humor and authenticity.

💬 And the Keepin' It Real Question: What’s the most random thing that’s happened that made YOU feel older? You might just laugh (or groan) in recognition.

This is a candid, hope-filled conversation for every woman who has ever wondered, “Am I aging well?” and who longs to reframe the narrative of growing older with grace, courage, and perhaps even a little sass.

We've all been there, that moment when the apology we hoped for never came. Whether it was a betrayal, a deep hurt, or just a moment when someone should have known better... silence can sting. So what do we do with that?

In this episode of Keepin' It Real, we're talking about the apology you never received, how it made you feel, how you moved forward (or didn’t), and what healing can look like when closure doesn’t come the way we expected.

💭 How do we deal with the emotions that linger?
💔 What’s the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation?
🚧 When is it time to set boundaries, even after forgiveness?
🛠️ And what are some tangible ways we can begin to release the hurt and take back our peace?

We’re not handing out easy answers, but we are pulling up a seat for some real talk that just might shift your heart.

How about you? Have you ever felt owed an apology that never came? We’d love to hear your story.

Let’s keep it real: 72% of women say they’ve felt burned out in the last year—and honestly, we’re not surprised. When you’re juggling work, family, leadership, expectations, emotions, faith, and a group text thread that never stops… feeling stuck isn’t a sign of failure. It’s a sign you’ve been carrying a lot.

🎙️ Keepin’ It Real Question: When was a time when you felt stuck?

Let’s keep it real: people-pleasing might sound kind and selfless, but when helping others becomes a constant at your own expense, it’s time for a wake-up call. In this episode, we’re diving into what it looks like when your need to make everyone else happy starts draining your energy, your peace, and your purpose.

Do you ever feel like you’re not okay unless everyone else is okay? Do you find yourself saying yes before checking if it actually fits your life—or your calling? Are you worried about how others perceive you more than how you feel in your own soul?

🚨 Newsflash: If your value is tied to how much you're doing for others… it’s time to pause and check-in.

We’re talking about the signs, the traps, and the truth: sometimes God’s best "yes" for you is a holy “no.” Balance is key. Let’s explore it together.

In this special two-part series, I, Kim Spence Mullen, get to do something deeply personal and incredibly meaningful: interview my dear friend and co-host, Kim Haar.

What followed was a harrowing experience of kidnapping, emotional torment, and a shooting that nearly took the life of the man she loved.

But this isn’t just a story of trauma. It’s a story of survival, redemption, and the kind of hope you can only find when you dig deep, lean into faith and let God walk you through the valley.

What do you do when your child is hurting, and there’s nothing you can do to fix it? Whether they’re 7 or 70, watching your child suffer is one of the deepest heartaches a parent can face.

In this Keepin’ It Real conversation, we talk about the ache of watching our kids struggle, the prayers we whisper (or cry) in the dark, and the truth that God sees both of you. If you’ve been asking God for a sign about your child, this is it. He has not forgotten you. He has not forgotten them. He holds you both in the palm of His hand.

We’ll unpack how to walk with our kids through hard seasons, even when we can't fix what’s broken. And we’ll remind each other that God still has a purpose and a plan for their lives and yours.

❓Keepin’ It Real Question: Was there a time when you saw your child struggling and knew there was nothing you could do to fix it… How did you handle it?
We want to hear your heart. Please share in the comments or message us.

Why is it so hard to ask for help? Why do we struggle to receive it? And what does it truly mean to offer help in a way that honors God? In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we dive into the challenges and blessings of help—whether it's asking for it, receiving it with grace, or offering it with love.

How many Facebook friends do you have? Now, how many of them are truly close friends? In this episode, we’re getting real about the illusion of connection in a world where social media makes it seem easier than ever to stay in touch—yet loneliness still creeps in.

We tackle two Keepin’ It Real questions:
1️⃣ How many of your social media “friends” are actually close friends?
2️⃣ When was a season of loneliness for you, and how did you handle it?

Loneliness can come through circumstances, life transitions, or simply realizing that your connections aren’t as deep as you thought. We’re sharing real-life ways to navigate those moments and build meaningful relationships that last.

Let’s leave loneliness behind—together. 💛

Ever catch yourself thinking, I shouldn’t have said that… That probably sounded weird… They must think I’m awkward…? Those sneaky ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) creep in, feeding our fear of rejection and performance-based fear, keeping us stuck in self-doubt. But here’s the truth: We can never rise higher than our own self-worth.

In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we dive into recognizing those self-sabotaging thoughts and replacing them with what God says about us. Because when our inner dialogue aligns with His truth, we step into the confidence and freedom He’s called us to.

🔹 Keepin’ It Real Question: When you recognize that you are doubting yourself, what does it sound like to you?

Let’s rewrite the script and start seeing ourselves through His eyes—valued, loved, and enough. 💛✨

Let’s be real—talking about body image can be tricky. Whether it’s weight, height, skin, hair, or something else entirely, most of us have felt the sting of body shaming at some point. And honestly? It stays with us.

In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we’re diving into the tension between body shaming and body positivity—how our culture, past experiences, and even our self-talk shape how we see ourselves. But here’s the good news: healing is possible.

We’re keeping it real (and primarily pain-free 😉) as we unpack how body shame is often tied to deeper wounds, why a mirror can’t measure our worth, and how we can shift the conversation—not just for ourselves but for the next generation.

In this episode, we ask the Keepin’ It Real question: Do you remember how old you were the first time you experienced any kind of body shaming?

It’s time to step into real confidence—the kind that comes from knowing who we are in Christ. 💙

Join us for this honest, encouraging, and maybe even fun discussion. You’re more than your body—you’re His.

Our worth isn’t found in the mirror—it’s found in Christ. Let’s start the conversation that helps us—and those coming behind us—find true confidence in who God says we are.

Join us for this real, raw, and redemptive discussion. 💙 #KeepinItRealPodcast #YourWorthInChrist

In this heartfelt episode of the Keepin' It Real Podcast, we explore the incredible power of a mother’s prayers. As moms, we often feel what our kids feel, carrying their joys and burdens in ways that only a mother can. It’s the hardest yet most rewarding job of all, and through it all, we have the unique authority to pray God’s promises over our children—whether they’re little, grown adults, or somewhere in between.

Keepin' It Real Question: Why did we feel this was such an important topic to discuss?We share our personal reflections on why a mother’s prayers matter so deeply and how trusting the Lord with our children brings peace and hope.

This episode is for every mom who needs encouragement to keep praying, keep trusting, and keep believing in the power of God’s promises. Join us as we keep it real about motherhood, faith, and the journey of surrendering our children into God’s hands.

Pull up a chair and join us, ladies, as we dive into the world of imposter syndrome! Have you ever felt like you don’t belong or that you’re not qualified enough? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re getting real about those moments when the inner critic takes over, making us question our worth and feel like a fraud.

The Keepin It Real question of the day is, "Have you ever felt unqualified and allowed that inner critic to rise up and put you down?"

Together, we’ll unpack the realities of these thoughts and share ways to overcome them, showing ourselves a little more kindness along the way.

Be sure to follow the podcast so you never miss an episode, and share it with your friends who could use a reminder to be kind to themselves, too!

Is it that simple to turn our worry into worship?! We understand that you're dealing with real life. Whether it's your kiddos, your marriage, finances, health, or the future, there are plenty of places where our thoughts can cause us to get carried away in worry and anxiety.

In this episode, "Turning Worry Into Worship," we'll explore a struggle so many of us face: anxiety.

The Keepin' It Real Question is, "How prone are you to struggling with anxiety or worry?" Do you ever catch yourself filling in the blanks with worst-case scenarios? For example, when you miss a call from a loved one, and before you know it, your mind has written a whole story of something terrible happening.

We'll discuss those moments that overwhelm us and how we can quiet our racing thoughts by turning our worries into worship.

Plus, Kim Haar will share a powerful and practical tool she uses to deal with worrying thoughts—one that can help you transform your anxiety into worship and peace!

2 Corinthians 10:5 reminds us to "take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ." But sometimes, we need to know that it is genuinely possible to do.

Keepin' It Real with Kim Haar and Kim Spence Mullen is a podcast for women, and you're always welcome at our table. Join us as we journey through life together.

We all love a good makeover, but today’s episode is about a different kind of transformation—the one that happens on the inside.

We’re diving deep into the messages we tell ourselves daily and how we can give those messages a "Me Makeover." Are we being kind to ourselves, or are we stuck in a cycle of negativity? It’s time to replace those harsh thoughts with more positive, uplifting words. Join us for this conversation on self-kindness and personal growth.

Keepin' It Real Question:
Have you ever had a makeover? If so, what was your experience?

Don't forget to follow the podcast and share this episode with your friends!

In this episode of Keepin' It Real, hosts Kim Haar and Kim Spence Mullen discuss how often we mold our lives into something we should be doing instead of what we are called to do. Have you ever tried to fit into a role that wasn’t meant for you? Whether it’s feeling the pressure to be the perfect mom tending the garden or exhausting yourself with networking groups to please others, sometimes we try to wear “armor” that doesn’t fit.

Drawing inspiration from the story of young David in the Bible, who tried on King Saul’s armor before facing Goliath, the ladies discuss that David ultimately had to set aside what wasn’t his and stand in the confidence of his calling—with just a slingshot and five smooth stones.

Join us as we explore the freedom of embracing your God-given role and discuss the Keepin' It Real question: Was there ever a time that you tried to fit into something that wasn’t made for you?

Be encouraged to discover your place, which the Lord uniquely crafts.

We’d love to hear from you. Follow our podcast for new episode notifications and share them with friends who might enjoy our past episodes. Remember, life’s all about Keepin' It Real!

We invite you to pull up a chair and join Kim Spence Mullen and Kim Haar around the table because we're keepin' it real.

This is a podcast for Christian women of all ages. We share from our hearts about the every day topics that matter most. In today's episode, "Get in the Picture," we encourage women to see themselves through the eyes of those who love them, especially when it comes to getting in photos.

Too often, we take pictures of others while shying away from being in them ourselves or struggling with our appearance. We're here to remind you to be kind to yourself and to step into the frame—because you belong there, too.

This week's Keepin' It Real question is: "What comes to your mind when you see a picture of yourself?" Let's talk about it together!

In this episode of the Keepin' It Real Podcast, Kim Haar and Kim Spence Mullen dive into the powerful topic of how holding onto offense can build barriers that cut off our friendships and relationships.

Living in offense doesn't just hurt us; it creates fences that distance us from those we care about. Today, we explore how to work through being hurt or unintentionally hurting someone else and the importance of walking through the stages of forgiveness.

We can maintain and even strengthen our connections by placing a higher value on our relationships than on the offenses. Tune in as we discuss practical steps to let go of offenses and embrace forgiveness.

Keepin' It Real Question:
"Has there been a time someone offended you, and how did you work through that?"

Welcome to another "Keepin' It Real" episode with Kim Haar and Kim Spence Mullen. Today, we dive into the challenging yet transformative "Seasons of Waiting."

Our Keepin' It Real Question is, "What was one of the hardest seasons of waiting for you?"

In this episode, we share our stories of waiting and invite you to share yours. We explore how the enormous battlefield during these times is often in our minds as we struggle with not seeing the whole picture and wondering about our next steps.

We'll discuss practical strategies to navigate these waiting periods, such as turning to specific scriptures and reading them out loud when anxiety strikes and the power of listening to worship music. We also emphasize the importance of being selective about who you share your journey with, ensuring they are comforting and uplifting.

Remember, waiting is not a sign of inactivity. God works behind the scenes, even when we can't see it. Join us as we find strength and hope in these seasons of waiting, and let's support each other through them.

Welcome back to another inspiring episode of the Keepin' It Real Podcast, a Christian podcast for women navigating life's journey with faith and authenticity.

In one of our previous episodes, "Dear Younger Me," we encouraged you to revisit your younger self and let her know how grateful you are that she made it through all of the life you've experienced up to this point. We also encouraged you to share what you would tell her now, with all of the wisdom you've gained through the years. That's Episode 29, so take a moment to enjoy it!

Today, we dive into a heartfelt conversation in "Dear Older Me."

In this episode, we pose the Keepin' It Real Question: What is the age of my older self, and what do I want her to know about what's to come? How do I hope she chooses to live her life?

We explore the profound reflections and wisdom we would impart to our future selves, emphasizing the importance of cherishing the values and experiences that shape us.

As we journey through life's inevitable changes, we discuss how to hold onto the parts of life we deeply value. We'll also reflect on what our older selves would say to our younger selves, recognizing that the essence of who we are remains constant, no matter our age.

Join us for an episode filled with thoughtful insights, spiritual growth, and encouragement as we bridge the gap between our past, present, and future selves.

Please share this episode with a friend!

In this powerful episode of Keepin It Real, we dive into the challenging "Seasons of Hard" that life often throws our way. Everyone faces tough times, but how we navigate through them shapes our growth and resilience.

Join us as we explore the idea that difficult periods can be divine opportunities for personal growth and that emerging from these hardships allows us to cherish the blessings even more.

Our "Keepin It Real" question this week is: "Has there been a time in your life when you felt a little like Job from the Bible, due to one situation after the other happening, and you just get to the point where you say Enough?"

We share personal stories and insights on feeling overwhelmed by sometimes seemingly continuous struggles and how to maintain hope and determination through faith in God.

We'll also discuss the importance of not giving up, drawing strength from God's promises, and the power of community and connection to avoid feelings of isolation.

This episode reminds us that there is always light at the end of the tunnel, and with God's grace, we can come out stronger on the other side of life's toughest seasons.

Tune in for an episode filled with real talk, encouragement, and the reassurance that we are never alone in our journeys.

In this episode, "You Matter," we explore a question that many of us have pondered: Have you found your place in the world? It's a journey of self-discovery, purpose, and understanding the impact we have on those around us.

Our Keepin' It Real question for listeners is thought-provoking: Have you ever felt like your role or your place doesn't matter in the world? This sentiment can weigh heavily on our minds, affecting our sense of purpose and value.

Join us as we share stories, insights, and conversations that shed light on the significance of each person's unique contributions. From small acts of kindness to larger societal impacts, we'll explore how finding our place in the world is not just about recognition but also about embracing our worth and potential.

Welcome to Keepin' It Real, where we dive deep into life's most intriguing questions and moments and we promise to keep it real!

In this episode, "The Nudge," we explore that inner voice we attribute to God's voice. You know the feeling—the sudden urge to pay for someone's groceries, make a heartfelt phone call, or extend a helping hand. But what do we do with these nudges? Do we follow them, or do we let them pass by?

Our Keepin' It Real question: What have you done with the nudge? Have you acted on it, transforming someone's day or even life, or have you chosen to ignore it, perhaps missing out on a meaningful connection or opportunity?

Join us as we share stories, insights, and experiences that remind us of the power of listening to that inner voice and exploring the beauty and impact of following through with acts of kindness, compassion, and intuition.

From the mundane to the extraordinary, every role we've undertaken has left its mark, shaping us into the individuals we are today.

Whether it's the resilience cultivated through long hours of manual labor or the lessons in empathy learned from serving customers, these stories resonate with the universal truths of the human experience.

Keepin It Real Question: What was the first thing you thought you would be or do when you grew up?

Tune in and embark on a journey of self-discovery as we uncover the invaluable life lessons gleaned from the old jobs that have shaped us all.

We're exploring the concept of what it truly means to be a neighbor. We often think of neighbors as just those who live next door or down the street. But could it extend beyond that? Could a neighbor be a work associate, the person we see regularly at the grocery store, or even someone we interact with in our daily routines?

We delve into this idea, examining how our understanding of 'neighbor' can expand and enrich our sense of community and connectedness. We discuss practical and heartfelt ways to show God's love to those around us, redefining neighborly kindness in a broader, more inclusive way.

Our Keepin' It Real Question for this episode is: What do you think of when you hear the word 'neighbor'? Is it limited to someone living nearby, or does it encompass a wider circle of people in your life? We're eager to hear your thoughts and experiences.

Don't forget to follow our podcast to stay updated with our latest episodes. Please share this episode with your friends and invite them into this meaningful conversation. We believe that sharing and listening can create a more loving and supportive community.
We always look forward to hearing from you on Facebook at Keepin' It Real Podcast. Your insights, stories, and perspectives make our discussions richer and more impactful. So, tune in now, and let's explore together how we can be the best neighbors in the broadest sense, spreading kindness, and God's love in our everyday interactions. 🏘️💖

In this episode, we delve into how kindness can be expressed in our daily lives, from the simplest gestures to grand acts. We discuss how small actions, like remembering someone's name, paying for the lunch of the person behind you in a drive-through, leaving change in a vending machine, holding the door open, and using 'please' and 'thank you' can make a significant difference in someone's day.

This episode isn't just about discussing acts of kindness; it's about inspiring them. We explore how these seemingly small acts can ripple out to create a more compassionate, connected world. We want to hear from you, too.

Our Keepin' It Real Question for this episode is: What is one of the kindest things someone has done for you?

If we could make the font squiggly for this podcast, that would look messy, messy, all over the page - unorganized - not according to plan, we would!

How many times do you make a "plan," and life just doesn't go according to that plan?

Listening to the start of this podcast, you'll hear that very example...and what was our response? We laughed...because this was one of those moments in life where the very topic of our podcast happened to fit exactly with how the day began.

But in those moments of laughter, we also found the joy and time to enjoy the simplicity...how about you?

Keepin' It Real Question: When is a time that something didn't go as planned, and what was your response?

Starting over? There is a beautiful world for you in your singleness...being complete in yourself and being whole in yourself is for you.

What comes to mind when you think of your current circle of friends? Do you feel included or left out? Are you lonely?

When we (Kim S. and Kim H.) began this podcast, it came after renewing a friendship we formed years ago. We sat over lunch and shared our lives and got real with each other. Sometimes a friendship can be "new" or it can be "renewed"...join us today for the discussion.

Today we discuss ways to make new friends and connect with the 'old' friends.

Keepin' It Real Question: Part 1 - When you look at your social media and see your number of "friends"...how many of those do you truly have a friendship with?
Part 2 - When it comes to making new friends, is it easy or difficult?

"Keep putting one foot in front of the other"... "Suck it up buttercup"... If those phrases sound familiar, whether you've said it to yourself or someone else told you...we're here to say, take a moment and consider there might be an additional option. How many times have you been there for someone else when they've struggled and ignored your own needs? As women this happens far too often.

Today we talk about mental health. After the pandemic the topic was placed front and center and the conversation continues about the unique needs we have as women.

The Keepin' It Real Question: Is there a time when you have struggled with your mental health?

Keepin It Real Question: Who is the first person you can remember comparing yourself to, or being compared to?

Comparison is not just about how we look vs. how someone else looks. Do you compare yourself being single vs. a friend being married? How about comparing a photo from someone's dream vacation vs. your vacation?

Join us at the table to discuss a way to view our lives vs. someone else's with an attitude of gratitude, instead of getting caught in the comparison trap!

When you look at yourself in the mirror do you think "Ick" or "You go girl"? Are you paying attention to your own image of your body? Most of the time, it's not the outside words that are plaguing our body image, it's the words we use that no one else will hear us say..."I'm fat." "I'm ugly." "Why can't I get my hair to look right?" "If only _____." What's the image that God sees?

Do you compare yourself to the "highlight reel" of others on social media? We all do at times. We forget that so much of what we see on social media photos is a mask. We invite you to join us and drop the mask. Let's pioneer the way to keepin' it real.

Kim Haar and Kim Spence have known each other since they were in high school. After reconnecting one day over lunch, they discussed how life had changed through the decades. They were ready to drop the mask and share their real life stories with each other. It was a time of refreshing and renewal.

We want all women to join us and blaze a trail of freedom through sharing real stories, restored lives and our promise is to keep it real.
