Grow with the Flow

*This episode is inspired by Kate Holbrook and her book, Both Things are True.

We've only been in Canada for a few days but we have already taken several crash courses in: the metric system, money conversions, living on the 4th floor … I've also been learning a lot about the power of words.

After a conversation with my cousin, I was able to put into words why I love mindset work and the coaching world so much!

“Maybe time running out is a gift and I'll work hard to the end of my shift.” - Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit // These words ring true as we've celebrated the lives of 2 grandmas in the last 2 months. Time running out makes our time matter. In this episode we chat about 3 ways to be more intentional with time and relationships.

Due to another unexpected funeral, we've changed our itinerary quite a bit. We road tripped from West Virginia to Utah and will continue on to California for a family visit. Through all the changes and unknowns, I've felt the Savior's love as I practice slowing down and being with Him.

We've had 2 weeks full of fun adventures and exploring more of West Virginia while also learning how to slow down our pace (even more) in unexpected ways!

We visited Marshall University, went to a stranger's birthday party, and hiked up a mudslide! Plus, 3 thoughts for a drama free Mother's Day. (Mamas, I've got your back!)

This week has been full of exciting adventures - hiking, fishing, chess club, a homeschool field trip, and a giant hot dog! And the best part - we made new friends!

I have another special guest joining me and I loved hearing their perspective!

James 1:22 says, “be doers of the word, and not hearers only.” What does that mean? He asks us to fear not, forgive, love, rejoice, sacrifice… but how do we actually do that? Let's combine God's word with the practical application of mindset tools to better be doers of His word!

This wasn't my initial episode idea but was put on my heart just before recording. This episode is for those of you going in to the holidays with a heavy heart or a weary soul. I'm here to pour love and Truth into you so you can sing “Hallelujah!”, even here - in the face of your trials. Remember, it's more about our focus than the circumstance.

Day trips, weekend trips, & really learning to rely on and encourage one another on this trip. Also, I accidentally ate a really hot pepper

This episode is inspired by my sweet, observant 7 year old who saw an art installation and said, “it looks like a family tree but of thoughts”. That comment stuck with me and had me realizing that if we're not intentional, we can get stuck in an old identity based on generational limiting beliefs. Here are my thoughts and some tips on how to make a lasting change that supports you!

Some main events: Jade visited her childhood home, Brandon cooked a brisket, and Lincoln hooked his finger.

A spiritual realization and Taylor swift lyrics collide in this episode about recognizing the source of thoughts and inspiration.

If not, what will? Let's chat about where we can turn for real peace and comfort in a way that supports our minds, bodies, and spirits!
