Have you ever thought about the fact that Jesus had a personality just like you and me? He was both fully divine and fully human. We see this dual nature of him clearly in the scriptures from Holy Week. Join Laura Fleetwood each day this week as we travel to the cross with Jesus and see how he exudes all of the 9 personality types from the ancient spiritual growth tool called the enneagram. As we see Jesus display the fullness of human personality in his words and actions, we are reminded that He understands our human faults and frailty, but He overcame all of the struggles we face so that we could trust Him in this life and live forever with him in the next.Two Kids and A Career Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jilldevine/?hl=enTwo Kids and A Career: https://www.jilldevine.com/podcastSeeking The Still Website: Seekingthestill.comSeeking The Still Instagram: Instagram.com/seekingthestillSeeking The Still Facebook: Facebook.com/seekthestillNormal Goes A Long Way Website: https://www.normalgoesalongway.com/Normal Goes A Long Way Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/normalgoesalongway/Normal Goes A Long Way Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Normal-Goes-A-Long-Way-110089491250735Normal Goes A Long Way is brought to you by Messiah St. Charles: https://messiahstcharles.org/

In reflecting on the number of episodes Jill Devine has produced for Two Kids and A Career, she realized she hadn't had an episode dedicated entirely to single moms. That changes with this week's episode.Samantha Tradelius is a Mother, Wife, Philanthropist, Entrepreneur, and Speaker. Samantha is brutally honest, fast moving and a supporter of all things SHE.A born go-getter from early on, Samantha always knew she was destined to do big things. Armed with her brokerage license and natural gift for being a connector, Samantha began her entrepreneurial journey co-founding Commercial Coverage Insurance Agency (CCIA) alongside her husband. From humble beginnings the pair quickly turned CCIA into a wildly successful business, valued at an impressive eight figures.Following her success with CIA, Samantha knew it was time to lean into a passion that had inspired her from a very young age. Having never stopped thinking about the stories her grandmother and hero, GG, would tell her about raising three children as a single mom in the 1950s. Samantha always noticed that in all her stories, her grandmother never mentioned anyone helping her...or asking for help. She knew that her grandmother had done everything she could to rub her nickels together to make everything possible for her children.Samantha and Jill discussed the nonprofit Samantha created to help single moms.IG: @SamanthaTradeliusTwo Kids and A Career Website: https://www.jilldevine.com/Two Kids and A Career Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jilldevine/?hl=enTwo Kids and A Career Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JillDevineMedia/Thank you to our sponsor: Elemental EstheticsThis episode is brought to you by Elemental Esthetics.

There have been many episodes of Two Kids and A Career dedicated to helping children with learning disabilities and/or ADHD. On the other hand, there hasn't been a full episode dedicated to helping adults with learning disabilities and/or ADHD. That all changes with this week's guest, Alex Gilbert. Here's a little bit about Alex:I'm a new mom, a New Yorker, a Mets fan, a yogi, and a brunch enthusiast. I also have dyslexia and ADHD.After spending my career working in leadership development, I decided to start a consulting and coaching business that will help adults (like myself) with learning disabilities and/or ADHD who have been struggling in their day-to-day life and careers. My business, Cape-Able Consulting, was created to help them navigate their day-to-day workloads and life to feel supported to reach their highest potential.In this week's episode, Jill Devine and Alex discussed Alex's misdiagnosis as a child and how that has fueled her to become the woman she is today. In addition, Alex offers free 1:1 30-minute “brain dumps” where she can discuss personal recommendations to implement organizational/focusing tips that match your style of learning.IG: https://www.instagram.com/iamcapeable/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamcapeableLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-gilbert-ceo/Two Kids and A Career Website: https://www.jilldevine.com/Two Kids and A Career Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jilldevine/?hl=enTwo Kids and A Career Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JillDevineMedia/Thank you to our sponsor: Evoke Creative

Brandon Janous joined Jill Devine for a second time on the podcast. His first appearance on Two Kids and A Career was on February 24th, 2021, in Episode 64: A Widower's Advice On Living Life To The Fullest.Since the airing of Episode 64, a lot has happened in the Janous family, but one of the biggest things is the publication of Brandon's first book, Just Do!. Here's part of the introduction Brandon wrote for the book:This wasn't how I'd expected my first book to begin. To be honest, before Rachel got sick, I'd already written much of what you'll read if you keep going. And for the most part, it's not sad. I had no intention of making you cry or bringing you to tears. Actually, what I'd written before cancer was fun, exciting, joyful, funny, and all the other feel-good words. But then life happened. Life has a way of doing that. It just happens. It would be easy for you to read that opening passage and think that you've stumbled upon a book full of pain and sorrow. But I'm here to assure you that what you'll find in the following pages isn't that. Yes, we lost Rachel. Yes, I'm going to spend some time talking about that season because she deserves to be talked about, and her story deserves to be told. Yes, it's sad and hard and may not make sense most days. But what you're not going to find is a book about death or dying. That's not what this is. That's not what Rachel would have wanted. It's not littered with stories from the hospital or the cancer center. It could be because there were so many beautiful lessons during those days. But that's not what this story is. It's actually quite the opposite. This book is about living. It's about loving. It's about doing. Because that's what Rachel chose to do every single moment of every single day. She lived. She loved. And even as she was dying, she continued to do. My hope for this book is that through sharing more of our families' stories, you choose to live and love a little differently going forward.Brandon and Jill discussed Just Do! and the important life lessons everyone should learn.FB and IG: @brandonjanousTwo Kids and A Career Website: https://www.jilldevine.com/Two Kids and A Career Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jilldevine/?hl=enTwo Kids and A Career Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JillDevineMedia/Thank you to our sponsor: Elemental EstheticsThis episode is brought to you by Elemental Esthetics.

Today, I help women with absent or irregular cycles nourish their bodies and balance their hormones, so that they can conceive. Unlike conventional protocols, I use a whole-body approach and faith-based coaching to help my clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their cycles, and optimize their fertility. I use my experiences, both personally and professionally, to help women realize their story isn't over yet. God has more in store for them. This means trusting their body again, cultivating a positive relationship with food, achieving their healthy hormone goals, and integrating all forms of wellness into their lives.Jill invited Victoria back on the podcast to talk about all things related to menstrual cycles.

From Ann-Christin:"Becoming a mother and all the struggles that come with it literally opened a new chapter of my life.

"Picky Eaterz main focus is helping children enjoy food flavors outside of sweets and salts. Ya know, like vegetables, beans, lentils and stuff.” – Paris RollinsOne common struggle most parents experience is the struggle of having picky eaters in the house. Paris Rollins was part of that experience, but wanted to make a change, not only for herself, but for her kids. From Paris:“My name is Paris, and I am a proud mom of 4 children. I am very familiar with and have personally experienced the struggles of wanting your children to have the same love for veggies that they have for sweets and unhealthy foods. After starting my business from my very own experience, I realized that children aren't necessarily picky and that us moms are primarily responsible for shaping our children's palates. I cater healthy kid meals to schools every day but on my journey with my business and 3 children later, I soon discovered that children form their food preferences way before toddler meals. It starts as early as being in the womb based off mom's repeat food choices during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Our babies taste all those flavors in the womb and in mom's milk. Once discovering this, I set on a journey to capture children at the EARLIEST time possible that you can, when they form their food memories. I now train a child's taste palates to be more acceptant of foods like kale, spinach, beans, lentil, and more way before their first spoon of baby food.”In this week's episode, Paris and Jill Devine discussed the journey that led Paris to creating Picky Eaterz. The ladies also discussed different options parents have when it comes to their picky eater.IG: https://www.instagram.com/pickyeaterzstl/FB: https://www.facebook.com/PickyEaterzSTL/Two Kids and A Career Website: https://www.jilldevine.com/Two Kids and A Career Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jilldevine/?hl=enTwo Kids and A Career Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JillDevineMedia/Thank you to our sponsors:Evoke CreativeBlondin Professional Real Estate

Suzanne Yatim Aslam is Former Miss Arab USA, activist and actor turned author whose most recent book, Post Pardon Me, addresses the dark thoughts that so many mothers have but are too scared to say out loud. She's thrilled to get this book into the hands of mothers who may be struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety. From Suzanne: It's a dark comedy on postpartum depression. I take you on a journey through my early stages of motherhood as you read journal entries from that time as I'm spiraling. The thing is, for half the book, I don't know that it's postpartum depression. I just thought being a mom sucked and that my son ruined my life. I thought being a mom meant that I couldn't have the rest of my life available to me. I thought I had to buy a minivan, put on that apron, and shut the hell up about topics of the day. Lord, I was so wrong. In motherhood, just like in life, it is what you make it. And I want it, motherhood, to be big and loud and soft and quiet and whatever it is that I need it to be. Depression takes those thoughts away from you. It lies to you and tells you that you can't have the life you want. When the fog cleared, I saw the life I wanted, and I made it. I'm the boss now. Take a listen to this week's episode as Jill Devine and Suzanne discuss the struggles of postpartum depression and anxiety.

Jill Devine received an email from Christi Flynn, a Life Coach out of Edmonds, Washington. Christi was introduced to Jill through the Messy Mommies, Meg Tortorello and Holly Murer. Christi heard Episode 58: Being A Messy Mommy Brings Togetherness and decided to email Jill: As a working mother with two young children, I struggled mightily to balance my family and my work. Often, I would wake up short of breath, already anxious about the coming day. I was constantly multi-tasking and not doing a good job at anything. I wanted to be the supportive and loving partner to my husband who was building his own business. I wanted to be the creative and loving mother. I wanted to be the super-star professional. I just couldn't do it. I was miserable. I wish I had a life coach at that point. Someone to guide me and help me to tap into my gifts, my goals, my dreams. Years have passed now and through professional help, personal self-development, and a loving supportive husband I now live a different life. Yes, life can be very difficult, however now I know myself and I have tools that I use to cope. I know my own superpowers and I use them every day in my own life. I earned my coaching certification through Seattle Life Coach Training. When I'm not coaching, I can be found swimming with friends in the pool or the Salish Sea, tending my garden, or traveling. I am a wife, mother of two young adults, and a sister, among many other roles in my life. I've been married to my college sweetheart Todd for close to 30 years. We live in Edmonds, Washington.

Why do women who've experienced a traumatic childbirth feel the need to share that experience, unsolicited, to a pregnant woman? That's the last thing an expecting mama needs or wants to hear! Sometimes it's hard to put up boundaries when you're expecting, but this week's guest had a few suggestions. Kerry Tuschhoff also discussed with Jill Devine the different birth plans available to expecting mamas, including hypnosis. Kerry is the Founder/Director of Hypnobabies®. Hypnobabies is a very successful 6 week, 3-hours per week, complete childbirth education course that was adapted with permission from Master Hypnotherapist Gerald Kein's “Painless Childbirth Program” techniques (medical grade, somnambulistic hypnosis). This allows Hypnobabies students to enjoy “eyes-open childbirth hypnosis”, easily remaining deeply in hypnosis while walking, talking and changing positions; being as mobile as they would like to be during childbirth. Hypnobabies is well-known for helping people create much shorter, easier and more comfortable labors, making childbirth the joyful experience it was meant to be.

Mike & Kim each spent 30 years on TV. Kim's TV career includes 15 years as an award-winning reporter and news anchor and Mike's includes 29 years as an award-winning sportscaster. They've realized that so many adult children go through the same trials with their parents, yet hardly anyone talks about it. Most struggle in silence. That's why they created a community to provide information, resources, and support. In this week's episode with Jill Devine, Mike and Kim discussed the Parenting Aging Parents community and provided some conversation starters to help with difficult topics that need to be discussed with aging parents.

Do you know if your child's school has clean drinking water? Julia Geskey is a clean water advocate with Environment Missouri, and she works to ensure there is safe, clean drinking water across the state. Right now, this means working to get the lead out of schools and childcare centers. While this is an often-overlooked issue, it's so important to make sure our kids are not being exposed to this toxic chemical at the place they go to learn and play every day. Environment Missouri just released a "Get the Lead Out" toolkit for parents, teachers, and community members. It includes a fact sheet, sample materials for taking action, and links to additional resources. Most importantly, the toolkit identifies new sources of funding available to school districts to prevent lead contamination. On this week's episode, Julia and Jill Devine discuss the harmful effects of lead and the ladies also discuss what parents can do to help advocate for their child. Jill would like to acknowledge and recognize the hard work moms put in on the daily. It can be a thankless job at times, and Jill wants these moms to know their worth, so she created the Supermom Shoutout, brought to you by Addy's Way. Each recipient will receive a custom designed Supermom tote from Addy's Way, in addition to the Shoutout. This week's Supermom Shoutout goes to Jane Timme of St. Peters, MO. Her daughter, Elise, nominated her: My mom is my hero. She raised my brother and me as a single mom, struggling every month, but always made the best childhood for us. She has battled lung cancer by herself, working through her entire treatment and is now fighting lymphoma. She sold the house she's lived in for the last 30 years and moved a block away from me. I can imagine how hard that was, but I love having her close. She is the best mom and nana we could ever ask for. She loves us with her whole heart and is the person I turn to on the worst days to make things better. She's taught me to be strong and independent. She is the strongest momma I know, and I am so blessed to have her as a mom and best friend. Jane - YOU are seen and YOU are supported! To nominate a Supermom (or you can nominate yourself) email hello@jilldevine.com. Submit the name of the Supermom, where they're from, and a brief description as to why Jill should shout out this particular Supermom.

As an OB/GYN, Dr. Allison Walsh has spent her career caring for women across generations. Listening to women's struggles with untreated or under treated chronic pain, anxiety/depression, hormonal imbalance, and weight gain inspired Dr. Walsh to seek more comprehensive solutions for her patients' problems. Through this search, Dr. Walsh has become convinced of the importance of a multifaceted approach in treating weight gain; especially during peri-menopause. By integrating traditional pharmaceuticals and plant-based hormone replacement therapy with dietary and behavioral modification, Dr. Walsh has helped many women to overcome the underlying metabolic and hormonal dysfunction that renders sustainable weight loss in menopause seemingly impossible. She has also seen firsthand the power of the endocannabinoid system and plant-based hormone balancing to relieve pain and dysfunction associated with conditions like anxiety, depression, insomnia, endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, hot flashes, vaginal dryness and sexual dysfunction. Women's Lifestyle Solutions offers personalized coaching and integrative pharmacologic solutions to help women achieve wellness. Prior to creating Women's Lifestyle Solutions, Dr. Walsh earned her BA at Washington University in St. Louis in Political Science. She completed her MD/MBA at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and The Wharton School respectively.  Before joining Obstetrics and Gynecology Care LLC, Dr. Walsh completed OB/GYN residency at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis. When not working, Dr. Walsh enjoys cycling, travel and spending time with her two children and husband. In this week's episode, Dr. Walsh and Jill Devine chat about Women's Lifestyle Solutions and women's health in general. To make an appointment with Dr. Walsh, call 314.279.6069.

Joining Jill Devine this week on the podcast is bestselling author Frank Schaeffer: “When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down our world, the forced sheltering in place with our families opened many people's eyes to how we were meant to live. The only real “how to” for a happy life is simple and exists in our DNA: a meaningful, loving connection to others. We evolved to feel happiest when caring for others, not when seeking power over them.  As we move forward to a post-pandemic world, there is no better time than right now to rebalance our work and family lives in favor of love and living. In his new book, bestselling author Frank Schaeffer implores us to follow this directive: Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy.” Two Kids and A Career Website: https://www.jilldevine.com/ Two Kids and A Career Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jilldevine/?hl=en Two Kids and A Career Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JillDevineMedia/ Thank you to our sponsor: Blondin Professional Real Estate

When Jill Devine was told Morgan Stearn is a local gal with two little ones and is helping other women make their mark in a male-dominated industry, OH and loves chips and salsa as much as Jill, it was a no brainer to invite Morgan on the podcast! Morgan graduated from the University of Missouri, Columbia with a bachelor's degree in Human Environmental Sciences, specializing in Early Childhood Development and Education. After working for almost 4 years for St. Charles County's Parents as Teachers Program, Morgan made the move over to the family's general contracting business, Cissell Mueller Construction, Inc. Over her short 5-year career in construction, Morgan has implemented strategies and technology that has allowed the company to grow through a team project management approach and is now overseeing a team of 3 other project assistants. In addition to working hard to build on the company's success, Morgan is juggling the balance of maintaining a social life while raising two little ones. As a female in the male-dominated construction industry, Morgan's goal is to represent herself and her company with strength and intelligence while working to empower other women to do the same. About Cissell Mueller Companies: Cissell Mueller Construction, Inc. is a full service, design/build, general construction company with our headquarters in St. Peters, Missouri and projects nationwide. Cissell Mueller Construction, Inc is licensed to complete work in 37 states, allowing us to travel with our clients. In 1992 the company was formed with the joined forces of Bob Cissell and Duane Mueller. Cissell Mueller Construction employs carpenters, laborers and equipment operators. This allows us to self-perform many of the proposed construction tasks rather than subcontracting the demolition, excavation and carpentry work. Our separate excavation company is run under the name of Site Environmental and Excavation, LLC. Having the capability to perform excavation work on a project gives us complete control from the project's inception. Our sister company, Cissell Mueller Company, L.L.C. is a full service commercial real estate brokerage firm that has developed over 250 million dollars' worth of commercial real estate the last 23 years.
