Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! As I wind up my series on hoarding I am going deep into one the main reasons some people cross over from collecting into crazy hoarder land. Underneath ( literally ) everything, there is an underlying fear. Fear of what if. Fear from the past. Fear of the present. Fear of the future. In this episode I share a very sad story of what fear can do to distort our reality and push us to make choices that in the end, might not do anything but harm us or those we love.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Amy is still off doing grown up work in the real world so Amber and I take off on a trail we have NEVER gone down. MURDER. We are both ( not Amy so much ) true crime junkies and thought we would give this a go. Both are true murders that happened in our home state of Maine. One is personal. One is oldtimey but happened just a few towns away from where we podcast! If you don't like a good murder story then perhaps wait till next week when Amy is back and all returns to normal. You can e mail us at hello@rawrealredeemed.com
Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! We are SANS Amy today and started out on a bit of a Spring ramble but ended up going deep into some of our most humbling moments from Motherhood to Menopause.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Amy goes DEEP into social media and drops some very hard truth bombs about what is really happening to our children as a result of so much screen time, social media influence and online connections. OUR children are the first generation to grow up with little super computers in their hands. The 24-7 availability of constant dopamine addictive entertainment, sadly, comes at a great cost and one we should all be aware of. You can e mail us at hello@rawrealredeemed.com
Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Part 2 of Amber's breakdown of Gaslighting. A very serious form of abuse that is hard to explain and know for sure if it's happening to you. Hence, why we care so deeply about protecting it and raising awareness of what it is. If you think someone is gaslighting you, it's really important that you talk to a healthy person to get some perspective and advice! Don't just stay in that kind of relationship without sticking up for yourself! You can e mail us at hello@rawrealredeemed.com
Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Today I go DEEP into stories of hoarding...with real life experiences from my own childhood and young adult years.

You can e mail us at hello@rawrealredeemed.com
Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Our culture has taken MANY words too far into the realms of ordinary. Over or inappropriate use of some words cheapens their meaning, lessens their power and often abuses their truest purpose. Today...the word Amber is defending? Gaslighting. You can e mail us at hello@rawrealredeemed.com
Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! OK friends. We are about to learn a LOT about our hormones and fasting and NOT fasting and when, why, how and what to do! Buckle up and grab a notepad and paper!

She has recipes and graphs and all sorts of helpful references to help everyone to learn more about how our monthly hormone rhythms massively impact our attempts to lose weight, feel better, have more energy, etc. So. good. SO good. EVERYONE should learn this! OK, let's get started! You can e mail us at hello@rawrealredeemed.com

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! It's been 3 months since I had a hysterectomy. It took a solid two months to heal...accompanied by significant atrophy of all the muscles in my abdomen. Soooooo...it's now time for a personal rescue mission. I want to feel and be strong again and it is going to take some work and a new plan. The combination of being in my mid 40's PLUS abdominal surgery definitely threw a few curve balls at me that I didn't see coming. You can e mail us at hello@rawrealredeemed.com
Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! This is now one of our favorite January traditions. The thoughtful choosing of a word that sums up what we feel God is putting before us in this new year.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! I will be the first to admit I have a problem...and that it's a struggle to stay on the straight and narrow path of true simple living. It's a struggle in my heart. It's a struggle reflected in my choices every day that have created habits which become my very life. Let's just start scratching the surface of this addiction...to seeing and doing too much.

Welcome to Raw. Real. Redeemed! Christmastime brings with it a lot of wishes and wants and for some of us, pain, stress and feelings of being or having less than. It is a struggle to keep things simple, at home, in gift giving and in our hearts. In it's truest meaning, Christmas is about God sending his son into the world to save sinners...in a most humble way and having nothing to do with decor, vibes, coziness, lights, trees, santa, piles of presents...or any of the other things we make it. But the struggle IS real. You can e mail us at hello@rawrealredeemed.com
