Listen in as I interview Lauren Clements, founder of Chosen Infertility Group. Lauren shares about the long, heartbreaking journey of infertility and the triumph of finally conceiving.
Lauren's mantra throughout her difficult journey was "There is Gold in Every Part of Your Story," I was so moved by her ability to find purpose through her pain that I titled one of the chapters in my book, NOTE TO SELF, with this very phrase.
Lauren and I discuss the importance of looking for the glimmer of hope within and on the other side of any dark time of life.

We often find ourselves silently wishing for others to understand our unspoken desires. To see through the hidden signals and magically fulfill our needs. People aren't mind readers, and expecting them to lead to frustration and resentment.
In this episode, I share a technique and script for asking for what you need. Asking for what you need is an act of vulnerability and authenticity. You get to ask for support and learn to control your emotions to prevent the build-up of negative feelings and resentment. Have a listen, and be ready to take notes!
Happy New Year!
We are chatting about making intentions and commitments in the new year versus resolutions. Check it out:
The smallest habits or ways of being echo across all the aspects of your life without you even realizing it. Your habits tell others who you are.

Adopting new habits or reinforcing current positive habits that apply across the different aspects of your life can have a compounding and mind-blowing effect.

Whether we have made good use of the day the Lord has given us or not. It’s all happening right now. Are we awake- paying attention and leveraging every last moment? Mapping out the best damn adventure we can or are we asleep at the wheel, only to wake up in unfamiliar territory, wondering how we got here and lost? Have a listen and get refocused on living a life of intention.
