Spinning Plates Podcast

Hi, I'm back, baby! God is productive in our pause and rest. I hadn't planned to be away from the podcast for so long, but He knew there was work to be done and I needed to be there for the work. The beautiful thing is that I can tell you there is a renewed fire and fuel for all of you who listen to this podcast. Let's show up together! In this episode we talk all about the marathon (Heb 12:1) of life. We don't just hit the destination then that's it. No! God has so much for you and requires continued nourishment and refining. At the end of this episode, I share all about my rebooted and exciting Fit for JOY community. I'd love for you to join us! It's a virtual platform (off social media) where we will create space for Jesus and build routines that serve so we can lead life with JOY. If you're interested in a faith-based holistic healthy living community - this is for you! Join the wait list here. To keep in touch with me or see how you can get plugged in to support head over to my website.

Creating space is not an easy task for some of us. I'm praying in this meditation that I help us do just that. Let's create some space for Him to be seen and felt in our lives today.

I love making new friends! Jennifer was a delight to chat with. She dropped so many nuggets of wisdom. Enjoy! Jennifer Bosma is a wife of 34 years, a mom to three grown daughters, and a grandma to her three precious granddaughters. She loves Jesus and wants to share all she can with young moms about Him. He is the secret to her family's success hands-down, and it's her passion to teach this through her two children's books, I Know the Plans and The Baby Garden, her Front Parking Spot podcast, blogs, and speaking engagements. Teaching is at her core. She was an elementary education teacher for 23 years, so when she has the opportunity to do an author visit, it is a full engagement opportunity for everyone in the classroom. Her goal in what she does each day is to inspire moms worldwide to reach the potential that God has entrusted to them within themselves and their families through the Front Parking Spot podcast. Follow her today! Instagram: @frontparkingspot Find her podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to pods!

Meditation time. Let's let go of our fears and let God take the reigns.

I love a good God story! This was such a sweet episode celebrating just that. God has brought two women together to take them on an adventure for such a time as this. I hope you enjoy this delightful conversation and real-life talk about leaning into God's leading, trusting Him to show you the way, and letting go of unknowns to shine for Him. Elise is a dancer, singer/songwriter, and photographer. She has a passion for using her God-given talents to express her faith and identity. Annabelle is passionate for sharing God's love and an aspiring multifaceted artist. She has just completed high school and IB program (International Bachelorette) and is excited for all the adventures in store for her. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. It brought me joy to watch these ladies share their hearts and dreams with the world. If you feel called to show them support on their mission trip with Envision this year, please contact them directly: Elise Croyle - elise.croyle@gmail.com Annabelle Lang - annabelle26lang@gmail.com

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” - Ex 14:14 He is capable. He is strong. He is bigger than our fears. He is all-knowing. He is our defender. He cannot lose the battle. He already stands victorious. So that thing you're feeling lost in or that battle you feel you need to fight, I encourage you in this meditation to let Him fight for you. You need only to be still. Check out all episodes at www.salinajohnsonspeaks.com/podcast or find anywhere you listen to podcasts.

As soon as God gave me the idea to do this series, I wished this influencer were here for me to interview him in person. Roland Classen left a mark on this world and in the lives of so many of us. He always pointed us to Jesus and did it with grace, conviction, humor and gentleness of spirit. I am forever a different person for having the privilege of knowing and being taught by him and I know I'm not alone in this. To have known Roland, was to be near Jesus. Simple as that. He was something special. Since I couldn't get him on the podcast, I did the next best thing and dug up one of his sermons from 2002. My prayer is that in this episode, you experience truth and God's love. Thank you, Roland, for being our shepherd and leader for so long. Your legacy lives on in the lives of those who knew you. This episode is dedicated to you and your family.

It felt like we needed a little JOY. So enJOY this meditation.

We got my mom back on the pod! So often you hear me quote her and today you get to hear the live version of her love and wisdom. She's been such a huge influence in my life and the biggest inspiration for me in how to live authentic and imperfect (especially as a parent). She shows me the process of growing and learning and she is a constant source of grace and love for us. We talk about anxiety, God's redemptive power, and transformation. Hope you enjoy our chat. This is what it's like to sit at her kitchen table with cup of tea. It makes me happy.

Another moment to breathe and reset. This one we focus on finding our strength in Him and not in our own ability. He is capable. He is strong. He is bigger than anything thrown our way. "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love," Eph 3:16-17

I feel like this has been a long time coming! When God gave me the idea to do a series on people who have molded me, and I lean on for wisdom and speaking Truth, I knew I needed to have a chat with my sweet friend. Debbi Hawney is a lover of Jesus, wife to Barry, and mother of two boys and bonus daughters (in law). She is also a proud "Mimi" to her grandchildren. Debbi has worked in ministry in various ways for decades, always with a heart for women falling in love with God's grace and tenderness. Currently, she resides in Nebraska with her family, leaning into God's love and care as he continues to reveal to her what he has in store for this season of life. God is so good to bring Debbi not only into my life, but into the lives of so many. If you know our Deb, you know her love language is coffee with friends. This chat is us having coffee together. Pull up a seat and join us!

Hi, this one is SUPER fast and hopefully effective for you. I was having a rough day when I recorded and thought "well, this is real life" so I decided to record my live process when I'm overwhelmed. Sometimes it just takes a minute. Enjoy!

Every once in a while, y'all will tell me when there's someone out here in this space that I need to be friends with. It always brings me joy when it's someone I'm so aligned with like today's guest. I think it's safe to say she is my people and, if you're listening to the pod or following me, she's definitely your people, too. Taneshia Yerby is not only an influencer of mine, but of so many following her on Instagram @ceoforwomen. Taneshia is a devoted wife and mother of two girls, and the founder of the Christian Entrepreneur Organization (CEO) for Women. Taneshia established CEO in 2018 with the goal of supporting aspiring Christian entrepreneurs. Having experienced the challenges of starting her own passion projects, she understands the difficulties new entrepreneurs face. As a result, she launched CEO to provide women with the encouragement and motivation they need to persevere. Since its inception, CEO has sold thousands of products worldwide and has helped countless women turn their business ideas into reality. Taneshia's mission is simple: to empower women to do business with God at the forefront." If you follow @ceoforwomen on Instagram, you already know how God is using her as an influencer. If you haven't followed her yet, do so right now. You won't regret it. Enjoy our chat!

Spinning Plates meditates and you're welcome. I am loving doing these again. This one is for the busy person who can't sit still, but feeling like they need to get off the merry-go-round. Anyone feel that way?! Enjoy.

I LOVED this discussion. We are blessed to have Steve Croyle as our worship director at church. He is truly someone who influences me in my walk with the Lord. I love hearing his thoughts and musings on God's character and this episode is not short on either. I knew it would be a great discussion and I was right! Steve is a learner of Jesus Christ, husband to Andrea, father to Elijah and Elise, and pastor of worship and adult discipleship to the congregation at Mountain View Community Church in Snohomish, WA. He worked as a recording artist in the Christian music industry with the band FFH in the late 90's before moving from Nashville, TN back to his rural hometown area of Huntingdon, PA, where he worked as director of youth ministries for about 14 years, the latter 12 of which were at Huntingdon Christian and Missionary Alliance. In 2014, he and his family, with their tetherball-loving rat terrier named Maestro, headed west to grow and serve alongside the wonderful community of people at MVCC. Steve is an introverted internal processor and an avid cyclist, enjoying the headspace afforded by many hours alone in the saddle. We talked so much about introvert vs. extrovert and how we each worship and live life with Jesus in different ways. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Steve's email is steve@mvccweb.org if you want to drop him a line.

Another meditation for you. Meditating on His Grace and love. You are only to receive. Enjoy!

I love that we finally got Naudia on the pod! She is a constant source of inspiration and joy in my life. Naudia Bosch is a high school teacher who strives to positively influence and add value to the lives of her students, family, and all she encounters. She not only teachers her students on leadership and personal growth, but also serves her Grit and Grace community partnering with them to form healthy living habits. Naudia is making a difference in this world and for that reason is a massive influence in my life. Enjoy the episode. If you do, we have plans for a group in May together working on mindset and movement and would love to invite you to join us! Follow her at: Instagram: @naudia.bosch Facebook: Naudia Bosch

Did you know that God gave us breath and we can use it as a tool to help us? It's true! Feeling anxious? Breathe Feeling exhausted? Breathe Feeling overwhelmed? Breathe In today's meditation, we dig into our breath and spend some time connecting mind/body/soul.

Meet Pastor Brian Hebert, a beacon of light in our community and a profound influencer in my life. Brian's wisdom and guidance have touched countless lives, including mine. His steadfast faith, unwavering commitment to God's word, and Christ-centered teaching point others to Jesus. Brian's love for diverse cultures and flavors led him to run a food blog focused on Houston's international foods. With a rich tapestry of experiences, he has traveled to over 50 countries and lived overseas several times, adding depth to his understanding of the world and its people. Two years ago, Pastor Brian, his wife Christy, and their five children took a leap of faith and moved to the Snohomish area, where they have found a true sense of home and community. This bold move reflects their adventurous spirit and deep-rooted belief in following where God leads them. In this episode, we dive deep into Pastor Brian's journey, exploring the moments that shaped his faith and leadership. From his early days in ministry to the challenges he's faced, Pastor Brian shares candidly, offering insights that inspire and uplift. This is more than a conversation; it's a testament to the power of faith, the strength of community, and the beauty of a life lived in service to others. To find the Gospel at Work series you hear us discussing go to MVCC online.

Ever let your thoughts get the best of you? Or maybe run on their own? Today we will spend some time pushing the reset button and capturing our thoughts. It's not just about capturing though, it's about reflecting on what is good, pure, true (Phil 4:8). Enjoy!

Friends, this is one near and dear to my heart and soul. If you know my grams, you know how special she is. She has been a massive influence in my life and those who know her. A couple years back, I got to steal grams at a women's retreat and interview her. Little did I know that down the road I'd be able to plug it into this special series. I could think of no better person to kick off the interviews. This episode was sweet to me. I hope this episode is for you, too.

Spinning Plates Meditates is baaaaaaaaack! I needed this as much as anyone else. Reminding yourself that amidst the hustle and bustle of our busy lives, Jesus is waiting for you. He's waiting for you to rest in Him. He's waiting for you to slow down. He's waiting for you to breathe in His presence and breathe out His grace. Enjoy this meditation. I know you'll love it.

This has been a labor of love and I'm so happy to see it out in the world. God gave me a little idea a few months back and I heard him loud and clear. Let's do a series on people who have been influences on me and others. I wasn't sure who would be in the series, but as it's taken form, it's been incredibly sweet to be a part of. He has been at work here and I know it's for a purpose. Who are your influencers? Over the next 8 weeks, you'll get to meet some of mine. Enjoy! In this episode, I invite you to a couple things I have to serve you. Here are the links: Newsletter sign up: www.salinajohnsonspeaks.com/newsletter April 1st group: Interested? Click here

This one is my little pep talk for those of you feeling "stuck". I'm here to be that outside voice reminding you... YOU... CAN... CHANGE. It may not feel like it everyday. It may not look like it everyday. You may not even want to everyday. But it's happening if you're putting in the work. Lean in, friend. It's worth it.

This was such a beautiful conversation. I love that my take-a-way was to pause and ask people more questions. Getting to know Laycee's story reminded me that everyone has a story.

I love being here in this space. I love encouraging and being encouraged. I love feeling free to share my heart on a lot of subjects. I love knowing that God has led me here one step at a time. Did you know that I used to be TERRIFIED to speak about my real walk when I first started posting? Did you know that I would hold back on sharing when I was concerned about what some might think? Well, it's true. Often I'll get the sweetest comments about how bold I am or how they love how comfortable I am to talk about my faith. Those comments make me smile because I know how far the Lord and I have come in this area. This episode is walking you through my process over the past few years in hopes of encouraging someone else to step out in faith and continue to take one step at a time. It could change a life to know Jesus. I'm here for it!

He's BAAAAAAAAACK! Grateful that Daryl would come back on to chat with us about what he's been up to since our last chat. If you don't know Daryl, you should. He's an inspiration and the original catalyst to this entire podcast starting. Listen in on what he's been up to most recently and how his story and brand continues to evolve. We talk all about sustainable habits, leaning into strengths, and giving yourself grace through the process. Daryl is a 42-year-old that talks about self-confidence, men's mental health, sustainable active lifestyle, living with Cerebral Palsy and whatever else comes to mind. Listen to his podcasts, follow him on social media, subscribe to his on-demand video platform to be comfortable in your own skin. Instagram: @daryltperry YouTube: Daryl Perry Hope you enjoy!

There's a vibe right now and I'm in it with you. So much coming at us and so much going on. This episode is a reminder to create margin in your life to breathe, hear from God, and rest. I give some tactical tips on what works for me. Hope they work for you!

Are you ever faced with a problem, concern, scenario that feels too big? Too much? How will it work out? How will it be resolved? And you loop...fixated on the outcome and the issue? Me, too. This episode is how I process those moments, big and small. I talk all about my zoom out method and how it usually snaps me out of it. God is good and in sharing some of my stories in this episode, it helped me remember how far we've come. Praying this serves your heart. Thanks for listening!

This episode is less than 5 minutes. I wanted something short and bite-size. We have so much coming at us and so many ways in which we are pulled daily. This is your reminder that there is nothing you CAN or NEED to do to receive the love and grace of your God. Listen in and sit in it. Happy Valentines Day!

If you remember Tiffany from a few years ago, yes, it's the same one! We have a repeat guest, and it was such a fun conversation. We talk parenting, being a woman in real life, caring for those around us and living out God's purpose. Tiffany Tutu is a children's author, podcast host, and mom. When she isn't playing chauffeur to her two children, she is busy creating content for moms. Tiffany's desire is for you, as a mom, to become who God has called you to be! She does this by helping you discover how God and the Holy Spirit can empower your motherhood! Tiffany believes that when a mom is empowered by the Holy Spirit, the entire family changes! Instagram: @authortiffanytutuMommyhood Empowered FB group Website: Tiffanytutu.com

If you like hearing me cry, this episode is for you. But seriously, this is a good one. We talk all things servant's heart and showing up in this world in beautiful and genuine ways. I do have a moment of gratitude halfway through thinking of those special people in my life that have served me. Fitting since today is my mama's birthday. I want to be the type of person that serves from a place of joy and authenticity and my prayer is this episode inspires someone else to do the same. Enjoy!

Do you ever feel like you're at the mercy of all the things coming at you? Too fast, too furious, overwhelming? It's easy in those times to simply become a victim to randomness, letting life lead us instead of us leading life. Your God wants you to be engaged in the process and give it your best. This episode we unpack how to do just that and how to feel less like a victim and more of a warrior. Let's go! I give hands on tips in this one and here are the links mentioned: Ultimate Brain Dump Guide Amazon personal development list "Feed your Mind" unroll.me - the greatest gift I've ever given you - you're welcome!

Do you ever have the thought? "I guess I don't really have much of a story to tell." or "Man, that person has so much more to share than me." If so, this is your episode. I spent years with those thoughts or thinking no one needs to hear my story, it's not that great. I was wrong. This is the beauty of being vulnerable enough to share. God can use it. It's not about us. It's about him. I hope this message meets you where you're at.

This was such a beautiful conversation about resilience and healing. Holly is a UW graduate, TBI Survivor and founder of Neuro Wellness Community, where connections empower resilience. Her own journey through adversity, surviving a severe Traumatic Brain Injury and two week coma and the lifetime recovery through trauma and healing led her to see the impact the incredible resources surrounding her had on her life. Through her studies in Community Psychology it was confirmed that there was a link between brain health and community support. This launched her dream to share resources and empower others towards resilience. She founded Resilience Resourcing in 2019 which is now, Neuro Wellness Community. She hosts the Resilience Resourcing Podcast where she's had the honor of spotlighting stories of resilience from celebrities in film and music, to national spokeswomen, doctors and all in between who've overcome adversity in reaching for their dreams, sharing their "real on their way to resilience". In addition, Neuro Wellness Community holds annual Virtual Panels with leading experts to empower others through education on topics relating to resilience and holistic brain health. Finally, Neuro Wellness Community organizes and hosts retreats for connection and empowering experiences with key note speakers, music, a network of holistic therapeutic modalities, food and fun! The first retreat was held in 2019 and the second is in the works, stay tuned! Holly loves Jesus and knows without His provision in her life, she would not be where she is today and firmly believes everyone can have Jesus and a therapist too! She is a strong advocate for mental health which is truly holistic brain health and works everyday to break down barriers by empowering others towards resilience!

In this episode, we dive into the powerful concept of waiting, inspired by 2 Peter 3:9. Join me as we explore how God's timing is always perfect, and in the midst of our waiting, He's actively working. But here's the beautiful twist: we can partner with Him, taking intentional steps and actions during the waiting season. It's not just idle time; it's a period of purposeful collaboration with the Almighty. Tune in for inspiring stories, practical tips, and the reassurance that your waiting has purpose and power. Let's discover together how, when we're waiting, He's working, and there's extraordinary strength in that partnership.

And closing out this series....E is for Energy. Did you know you get to pick how you show up? No one can do that for you and no one can take your energy away from you. Did you, also, know that you can have positive energy and draining energy? It's true. Here's the deal, when you enter into a moment of P.A.U.S.E. because you're overwhelmed with life or teetering on the brink of burnout, you are probably entering with that draining energy, frustrated energy, negative energy....BUT when you come out of a moment of P.A.U.S.E. you should be exiting different. You should hold yourself different. You should be shining brighter. You should feel better. In this episode I talk all about changing our energy and ways to tactically do so. I've loved this series and I'm grateful for all that have given it a listen. Please remember to subscribe to the pod wherever you listen, so you never miss an episode. And if you like what you hear, please rate and review!

I feel like this might be the harder part for some of you, but I know this much to be true. Growth is on the other side of hard things. Freedom is on the other side of obedience. Peace is on the other side of boundaries. Clarity is on the other side of communication. Take the time to do this part. Being clear with yourself and others about what your "plan" is might be the thing that saves a relationship or your sanity. It's that critical! Hope this episode serves you well.

This might be my favorite part. It's time to take ALL those thoughts (sometimes random ones) rolling around in your head and make some sense of it. This is what I like to call my ultimate brain dump!!! Hope you give this one a good listen. I have a freebie to give you, too, so listen good! Grab your FREE Ultimate Brain Dump here: Freebies (salinajohnsonspeaks.com)

Mkay....this one might hit home for a few of us. Friend, here me well. You do NOT have that much control. Not really. But in the moment when we're feeling overwhelmed, tired, frustrated and out of control the most important thing after pausing and praying is reminding ourselves of all the things we do have control over and how flipping the script can help us not only change our reactions and actions but our lives. Let's dig in!

Some of you have heard all about the tool that I use to live life fully and create presence and peace in the middle of chaos. The Power of PAUSE series is finally here. First up P! P is for pause (literally push pause on the moment) and pray. In this episode, I'll take you through a breathing exercise and my process for slowing down when I want to speed up and power through. I hope you get something you can take away from this episode. Enjoy!

Happy New Year! I can't believe it's 2024, but here it is. In this episode, we talk all things planning for the year and goal setting. I'll share my word of the year and some hot tips on how to set yourself up for success. I'm so grateful for all of you sharing this space with me. Let's make this our best year yet. Find me on Instagram @mrs.salina.johnson

I've been waiting impatiently for this episode to make its way into the world. Elle has a beautiful way of sharing her heart and story. This episode is all about mental health and pulling back the veil on what it looks like to do the work and be a work in progress. I'm grateful my sweet friend felt brave to share and leaned into the hard. The world is a better place with her in it. Elle Levins is the founder and creator behind Beyond the Knots, a business dedicated to sharing the timeless and beautiful art of macrame for others to enjoy. What originally started as an outlet and a form of coping through the struggles of mental health that Elle faces day-to-day, she found a new perspective that helped begin her healing. With each piece she made she found purpose and a way to share her passion of being there for others who battle the stigma that surrounds mental health. We all have “knots” in our lives that we try to untangle or ignore. Overtime they only get worse. Choosing to accept those knots for what they are; a part of you, we can begin to find that together they can form into something truly beautiful. Elle's goal is simple, she wants to have a positive impact on everyone she meets through her art- whether that be a changed heart, or a simple smile. Her pieces are a little reminder that there is a lot of light for us, if we can only look Beyond the Knots.” In this episode, she talks about music as a tool for working through moments of struggle. Here's one of her playlists on Spotify. I've been listening and love it! Please give her a follow and show her some love: Instagram: @_beyondtheknots_ Facebook: @beyondtheknots Link to AG Care Conditioner

This one was so fun. Do you struggle with being in God's Word or understanding what it all means? It's normal and natural to sometimes feel like you're fumbling through your quiet time. Rachel brings God's Word to life in such a real and authentic way. I knew she needed to be on the pod! Rachel has been married to her husband, Joey for 19 years and they have 8 kids and 4 grandkids. She's a writer, speaker, podcaster, and reel-maker. Her heart is to teach people about the Bible and share what the love of Jesus can do in our lives! Give this one a listen and share away!

This was such a special conversation. Alexandra has a beautiful story and I know so many will find healing through it. I'm thankful for people like this who open up their hurt and heart to the world. As a widow and single mother, Alexandra Hope Craig understands the pain of loss and the struggle to find hope in the midst of heartache. She knows firsthand the devastating impact of a terminal cancer diagnosis and the difficulty of navigating grief while rebuilding a life and raising a young child. But through her journey, she and her family experienced the goodness and faithfulness of God in a profound way. Now, she is dedicated to sharing that message of hope and healing. In particular, she encourages others to trust their grief and heartache in God's hands with the knowledge that He is faithful to trade beauty for ashes.
