Send us a textAfter 117 episodes, it's time to pause and reflect on the journey of Your Joyful Order podcast. This final episode of Season 5 is a heartfelt conversation about the power of intentional breaks and the importance of creating space for renewal.Looking back at Season 5, we've covered tremendous ground – from Pastor Bianca Juarez-Olthoff breaking down spiritual gifts to deep dives into women's wellness and hormonal health that sparked countless conversations. We've explored boundaries with therapists, productivity with coaches, and leadership principles with experts. Each guest brought unique wisdom, creating a tapestry of insight that's helped our community grow in joy and purpose.Now, as summer approaches, I'm embracing a season of rest and renewal. June brings my 30-day Mid-Year Reset Challenge combining strength training, whole foods, scripture reading, and a complete social media break. This structured approach combats that mid-year energy slump while establishing habits that foster clarity and growth. July delivers a dream European adventure through Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein – because intentionally creating joy through new experiences is essential to a meaningful life.Season 6 returns in September with a focus on stories and testimonies. I'm specifically seeking listeners with compelling personal narratives of transformation, healing, and overcoming challenges. These firsthand accounts of breakthrough will create connection within our community and remind us of the power of resilience. Your story could be the exact message someone needs to hear.Remember that order isn't about perfection—it's about creating space for what matters most. Whether you join the reset challenge, submit your story for consideration, or simply use this summer for your own intentional pause, I hope you'll find ways to strengthen your joy and purpose.

Send us a textPolly Payne, CEO and founder of Horacio Printing, takes us on a transformative journey exploring how true leadership begins within. From her early days as a New York City sales director living a chaotic, unfulfilling life to the divine moment that sparked her entrepreneurial calling, Polly reveals how intentional self-leadership changed everything."The greatest work of art we will create is our life," Polly shares, recounting how this mindset prompted her to see her existence as a canvas requiring deliberate brushstrokes. This perspective shift led to creating the Christian Dream Planner and eventually helped countless others bring their product visions to life.Throughout our conversation, Polly offers practical wisdom about discerning God-given dreams. She challenges us to examine the condition of our hearts—"If you have a scared heart, you'll have scared dreams"—while reassuring us that sometimes the purpose of a dream isn't wild success but rather how it builds us. This liberating truth frees us from perfectionism and fear of failure.The discussion moves beyond inspiration into actionable strategies: creating dedicated "dream blocks" in your schedule, recognizing when to ruthlessly eliminate commitments, and embracing the paradox that productivity sometimes means doing less. Polly's approach balances big-vision dreaming with practical daily disciplines that make dreams sustainable.Whether you're feeling stuck, uninspired, or simply ready to approach your God-given dreams with fresh clarity, this episode offers both spiritual encouragement and concrete steps forward. Discover how to craft your life with intention, lead yourself with confidence, and discern which dreams deserve your wholehearted pursuit. Your next season of purpose and joy may be just one decision away.Connect with Polly:Website: https://www.dreamprinting.co/IG: https://www.instagram.com/horacioprinting/IG: https://www.instagram.com/polly_payne/USE CODE: LESLIE100 for $100 off Print School RegistrationSign Up For a FREE PRINT SCHOOL WORKSHOP: https://www.dreamprinting.co/Dream-Printing-Workshop-With-PollyConnect with Leslie: Follow on IG: @yourjoyfulorderstyle Website: https://www.yourjoyfulorder.com/Email: lmartinez@yourjoyfulorder.com to schedule- Speaking Events, Interviews or Life Coaching SessionsShop my SOAP the Gospels Journal on Shopify: https://shopjoyfulorder.com/Watch this Episode on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsXoAYIM2mfclNtYiaOzIUw Shop my Journal (Gratitude, Goals & Prayer Journal) on Amazon:https://a.co/d/09Djvaw Book a FREE 30 Minute Discovery Coaching Call: https://tidycal.com/joyfulordermedia/30-minute-meeting
Send us a textWhat if conflict isn't something to avoid, but rather an essential pathway to growth? Leadership coach Lauren Bronson-Petros reveals how our relationship with tension shapes our effectiveness as leaders, and why most people struggle to approach difficult conversations despite knowing their importance.Drawing from her background in organizational change and conflict resolution, Lauren introduces the powerful BRAVE framework—a five-step approach that transforms how we navigate challenging interactions. She unpacks why understanding your conflict history matters, how to determine whether something is worth addressing, and the critical difference between seeking resolution versus simply wanting to be right.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Lauren distinguishes between comfort and peace, explaining why the pursuit of comfort keeps us stagnant while peace allows us to act with courage even when facing discomfort. "We often talk about authenticity as a highlight reel," she notes, "but if you're being authentic, it also means acknowledging the parts of you that need growth."For anyone who's ever avoided a difficult conversation or wondered how to approach conflict more effectively, this discussion provides practical wisdom and a transformative perspective. Lauren offers specific strategies for staying grounded during tense moments, understanding what's truly at stake, and measuring success beyond merely winning arguments.Ready to develop what Lauren calls an "immunity to discomfort"? This episode will equip you with the mindset and tools to transform your leadership by embracing rather than avoiding the tensions that inevitably arise in any meaningful work.

Send us a textEver felt that gnawing suspicion that you're capable of more, but something invisible is holding you back? That barrier might be complacency—leadership's silent killer.In this illuminating conversation, Israel Duran shares the powerful journey that transformed him from a doubtful corporate employee to a business growth partner who empowers purpose-driven entrepreneurs worldwide. Through personal tragedy and a near-fatal car accident that became his catalyst for change, Israel discovered that our greatest obstacles often lie within ourselves."Pride is rooted in selfishness, fear, and entitlement," Israel reveals, explaining how these hidden barriers prevent true growth. Drawing from biblical wisdom and his work with high-level entrepreneurs, he introduces the revolutionary "leaky bucket principle"—a metaphor that explains why pursuing bigger opportunities without addressing your fundamental leaks leads to disappointment rather than success.You'll discover why most leaders can't identify their own blind spots (hint: "it's hard to see the label when you're inside the jar"), and how surrounding yourself with the right mentors can propel you forward exponentially. Israel's journey from having zero billionaires in his network to five didn't happen by chasing wealth, but by expanding his belief in what was possible for himself.Whether you're struggling with self-doubt, feeling stuck at your current level, or sensing a divine nudge toward something greater, this episode provides the mindset shifts and practical insights needed to break free from complacency. The path to extraordinary leadership begins not with more resources, but with addressing the internal barriers that limit your potential.Ready to fix your leaks and step into your fullest calling? This conversation will challenge you to examine where you've been playing small and inspire you to embrace the growth that awaits on the other side of comfort.

Send us a textWhat if the most important leadership skill isn't about managing others, but about managing yourself? Dr. Michelle Seijas, a Latina leader and educator with over 15 years of experience, brings a revolutionary perspective to leadership that starts from within.Against the backdrop of widespread burnout in education and leadership, Dr. Seijas shares her personal journey of stepping away from a promising career in education to embark on a six-month sabbatical that transformed her understanding of sustainable leadership. "I spent 15 years in K-12 education, and nobody teaches you to lead yourself first," she reveals. "Everything is always external, and I would actually push that we should go internal first."Perhaps most compelling is Dr. Seija's redefinition of confidence as self-trust. "The reason we don't feel confident speaking up or applying for the thing or engaging with people is because we don't trust that we're going to be able to navigate when things get uncomfortable," she explains. Building this self-trust happens through small, manageable steps that gradually create a foundation of successful experiences.For leaders feeling overwhelmed, Dr. Seijas offers practical strategies for reconnecting with intuition and making decisions aligned with authentic values rather than external expectations. From nervous system regulation techniques to communal practices derived from ancestral wisdom, she provides a holistic toolkit for sustainable leadership.Whether you're a formal leader navigating organizational challenges or simply wanting to lead your own life with greater intention, this episode offers transformative insights on becoming "the CEO of your life" and embracing leadership as an inside-out journey.Share this episode with someone who needs permission to prioritize their own well-being.

Send us a textThe mysterious, often misunderstood journey through perimenopause and menopause leaves countless women feeling confused, frustrated, and alone. With symptoms dismissed as "just aging" and proper care difficult to find, many suffer silently through what should be a supported transition.Dr. Sarah Bonza, who found herself navigating her own perimenopausal symptoms without adequate medical guidance, transformed her experience into a mission. After additional certifications in wellness coaching, lifestyle medicine, and menopause management, she developed a comprehensive approach to women's midlife health that addresses the whole person—not just their symptoms.What makes perimenopause particularly challenging is how it affects every aspect of a woman's well-being. Estrogen receptors exist in over 200 different tissues in our bodies, from our brains to our hearts to our metabolic systems. As levels decline, women experience not just hot flashes but profound changes in mood, cognition, weight distribution, and sleep patterns. The unexplained weight gain that frustrates so many isn't a matter of willpower—it's hormonal insulin resistance that requires specific interventions like increased protein intake and strength training to address.For women struggling to get proper care, symptom tracking and self-advocacy are essential. By arming yourself with knowledge about hormone changes and their effects throughout your body, you can approach this transition with confidence rather than fear.

Send us a textThe friendships we cultivate shape our lives in profound ways. But what happens when we intentionally place God at the center of these relationships? Cally Logan, author and storyteller, joins us to explore the transformative power of God-centered friendships and how they differ from ordinary connections.Friendship becomes something sacred when two people surrender the timing, purpose, and direction of their relationship to God's authorship. Cally shares how these divinely orchestrated connections provide mutual accountability that fosters spiritual growth for both parties. We discuss the biblical examples of friendship—from Job's companions who sat with him in his suffering to the covenant bond between Jonathan and David that transcended family loyalty.Many women find themselves becoming what Cally calls "bellhop friends"—constantly carrying others' emotional baggage while having no one to turn to with their own struggles. We unpack the importance of setting healthy boundaries and recognize that some friendships are meant for seasons while others are lifelong. Cally vulnerably reveals how God once showed her she had "outgrown" a friendship—a painful but necessary realization that allowed both women to follow their unique spiritual paths.For those who've been deeply wounded by past relationships, Cally offers hope and practical wisdom: "Don't determine your worth on people who didn't know how to love you well." The path to healing involves surrendering our desire for connection to God's perfect timing and selection while developing discernment about who to let into our inner circle.This conversation goes beyond surface-level friendship advice to explore how we can cultivate relationships that reflect God's design for community. Whether you're longing for deeper connections, navigating difficult transitions, or praying for God-aligned friendships, you'll find encouragement to trust God's authorship of your relationships.Want to connect more with Cally?

Send us a textPerfectionism is that sneaky little voice that whispers you're not good enough for God's purpose masquerading as excellence when it's really just fear wearing fancy clothes. Sound familiar? I've been there too.For years, I delayed starting this podcast, launching ministries, and stepping into my calling because everything needed to be "perfect" first. I wouldn't even record video episodes because I thought I needed the perfect setup, perfect makeup, and perfect background. Today I'm showing up with no makeup, wearing a hat, because I finally learned what matters is showing up, not showing up perfect.This spiritual roadblock affects so many believers. We think we can't pray because our words aren't eloquent enough, can't serve because our lives aren't together enough, can't lead because our knowledge isn't deep enough. But here's the beautiful truth: God doesn't call perfect people. Look at the disciples, Peter denied Jesus three times, Thomas doubted, Mary Magdalene had a dark past, yet these were the very people Jesus chose to launch His church.Research shows over 70% of people experience imposter syndrome, especially women in leadership and creative roles. That nagging feeling of "I don't belong here" or "If they knew the real me..." isn't unique to you—it's a nearly universal experience. Our brains are literally wired to trigger fight-or-flight responses when we feel like frauds, causing us to procrastinate on our purpose.I'm sharing five practical strategies that helped me break free from perfectionism paralysis, along with scripture that reminds us God's power is made perfect in our weakness. When that voice of inadequacy creeps up, remember: Jesus knew exactly who you were when He chose you, and He chose you anyway.What ministry, book, business or calling are you delaying because it doesn't feel perfect enough? Your purpose isn't waiting for perfection, it's waiting for your willingness to show up authentically. Start where you are, pray anyway, serve anyway, speak anyway. God will meet you there.Connect with Leslie: Follow on IG: @yourjoyfulorderstyle Website: https://www.yourjoyfulorder.com/Email: lmartinez@yourjoyfulorder.com to schedule- Speaking Events, Interviews or Life Coaching SessionsShop my SOAP the Gospels Journal on Shopify: https://shopjoyfulorder.com/Watch this Episode on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsXoAYIM2mfclNtYiaOzIUw Shop my Journal (Gratitude, Goals & Prayer Journal) on Amazon:https://a.co/d/09Djvaw Book a FREE 30 Minute Discovery Coaching Call: https://tidycal.com/joyfulordermedia/30-minute-meeting
Send us a textWhen your brain feels like it's short-circuiting and your body seems to have a mind of its own, you're not losing your sanity—you might be experiencing perimenopause. In this raw, unfiltered follow-up episode, I dive deeper into the hormone changes that affect millions of women but remain widely misunderstood and poorly addressed by healthcare providers.Fresh from my own doctor's appointment, I share my personal hormone panel results and what they actually mean. Did you know that when your FSH level climbs above 30, it signals your body is desperately trying to stimulate estrogen production but struggling to do so? Or that during perimenopause, your hormone fluctuations are ten times more dramatic than what you experienced during puberty? These wild hormonal swings explain the brain fog, rage, depression, and physical changes that make you feel like you're losing yourself.I walk you through my decision to start Hormone Replacement Therapy, debunk outdated myths about HRT and cancer risk, and share practical strategies that have helped me manage symptoms—from collagen supplements to castor oil for skin (yes, really!). Whether you're in the thick of perimenopause yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides the knowledge to advocate effectively for proper care.Text me your questions for next month's interview with a hormone specialist! Together, we'll navigate this challenging transition with greater understanding, faith, and the determination to reclaim our wellbeing.Connect with Leslie: Follow on IG: @yourjoyfulorderstyle Website: https://www.yourjoyfulorder.com/Email: lmartinez@yourjoyfulorder.com to schedule- Speaking Events, Interviews or Life Coaching SessionsShop my SOAP the Gospels Journal on Shopify: https://shopjoyfulorder.com/Watch this Episode on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsXoAYIM2mfclNtYiaOzIUw Shop my Journal (Gratitude, Goals & Prayer Journal) on Amazon:https://a.co/d/09Djvaw Book a FREE 30 Minute Discovery Coaching Call: https://tidycal.com/joyfulordermedia/30-minute-meeting
Send us a textYour body is sending you signals, but do you know how to interpret them? That overwhelming fatigue, unexplained weight gain, brain fog, and emotional rollercoaster might not be a midlife crisis or mental health issue—it's likely your hormones running the show.This eye-opening episode dives deep into the world of women's hormonal health, particularly perimenopause. What makes this conversation so crucial is the shocking lack of medical education around women's hormones: 60% of OBGYNs receive little to no formal training on menopause during medical school. No wonder so many women feel dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told to simply "welcome to the club" of aging.From the science of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol to the comprehensive list of symptoms affecting everything from your sleep to your sense of self, this episode serves as both validation and education. You're not going crazy—your body is undergoing profound biological changes that deserve proper attention and care. Learn practical strategies for hormone balance, including nutrition adjustments, appropriate exercise (strength training trumps cardio during perimenopause), stress management, and when to consider bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.Most importantly, discover how to become your own health advocate. With proper knowledge and the right specialists, you can navigate this transition without suffering through symptoms that impact your quality of life. Whether you're experiencing these changes yourself or know someone who is, this conversation provides the foundation for understanding what's happening beneath the surface and taking back control of your wellbeing.

Send us a textThat invisible weighted blanket of responsibilities you carry? There's a name for it—the mental load. In this illuminating conversation with licensed therapist Chelsea Clifton, we dive deep into understanding why women often shoulder the majority of household management, emotional labor, and family coordination, even when they have supportive partners.Chelsea brilliantly breaks down how this constant mental juggling act depletes our emotional bandwidth, leaving us vulnerable when unexpected challenges arise. "Your brain can't tell the difference between a bear and your tantruming child when you're in fight-or-flight mode," she explains, offering clarity on why we sometimes react in ways we later regret.What makes this episode especially powerful is the practical wisdom shared. From understanding that "boundaries are for you, not others" to learning how to communicate needs without guilt, Chelsea provides actionable strategies that actually work in real family dynamics. You'll learn why setting realistic expectations might be more important than any specific technique, and how modeling emotional regulation is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children.Whether you're drowning under responsibilities, struggling with generational patterns of emotional suppression, or simply trying to carve out moments of joy amidst chaos, this conversation offers both validation and a path forward. The most refreshing takeaway? "The right way isn't the only way"—giving us permission to find solutions tailored to our unique circumstances rather than social media's impossible standards.Ready to lighten your mental load and create more space for what truly matters? This conversation is your starting point for transforming not just how you manage responsibilities, but how you experience them.Connect with ChelseaIG: https://www.instagram.com/mindandhearttherapist/ Website: https://www.mindandhearttherapy.org/ Use Code "joyful" for 25% off any productConnect with Leslie: Follow on IG: @yourjoyfulorderstyle Website: https://www.yourjoyfulorder.com/Email: lmartinez@yourjoyfulorder.com to schedule- Speaking Events, Interviews or Life Coaching SessionsShop my SOAP the Gospels Journal on Shopify: https://shopjoyfulorder.com/Watch this Episode on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsXoAYIM2mfclNtYiaOzIUw Shop my Journal (Gratitude, Goals & Prayer Journal) on Amazon:https://a.co/d/09Djvaw Book a FREE 30 Minute Discovery Coaching Call: https://tidycal.com/joyfulordermedia/30-minute-meeting
Send us a textJoin us for an enlightening journey as we dive deep into the transformative power of boundaries in our latest podcast episode. Too often, we equate love with sacrifice and overlook the necessity of establishing limits to preserve our peace and emotional well-being. Leslie shares her personal stories interwoven with expert insights from Lysa Terkeurst's impactful book, "Good Boundaries and Goodbyes." We challenge the notion that setting boundaries makes one a "bad guy." Instead, we explore how boundaries serve as a form of self-care that honors our mental health and spiritual lives. Learn how to navigate relationships without guilt while maintaining the sanctity of your emotional space. We'll discuss the critical balance between access and responsibility in our relationships, encouraging you to rethink who gets VIP access to your heart. Additionally, we address the profound realization of needing to let go of expectations in past relationships—highlighting the importance of grieving what was never there to begin with. Through empowering prompts, listeners will be invited to reflect on their lives and consider where they might need to assert boundaries to protect their overall joy. This episode isn't just about philosophy; it's actionable. You'll come away with concrete steps to establish boundaries and prioritizing your peace. Remember, you deserve relationships that nourish your soul rather than drain you. Tune in and discover how creating boundaries can lead to a more joyful, fulfilling life.

How often do you find yourself pursuing the next big thing, only to feel a sense of emptiness once you achieve it? If this is you then you might struggle with being content. In this episode we discuss how contentment isn't about having everything you desire, it's a state of peaceful happiness and acceptance of your current circumstances. It's that feeling of fulfillment that comes from knowing you have enough, and that your worth doesn't hinge on external achievements. In our pursuit of a grateful life, we uncover practical steps to weave contentment into our daily existence. I discuss the transformative power of journaling and how the cathartic release of decluttering, both physically and digitally, can make room for appreciation of the here and now. By engaging in these mindful practices, we not only nurture our well-being but also spark a wave of positivity . Join me, as together we learn to cherish our achievements and the simple joys that each day brings, fostering a life that's as content as it is connected.Connect with Leslie: Follow on IG: @yourjoyfulorderstyle Website: https://www.yourjoyfulorder.com/Email: lmartinez@yourjoyfulorder.com to schedule- Speaking Events, Interviews or Life Coaching SessionsListen to this Episode on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsXoAYIM2mfclNtYiaOzIUw Shop my Journal (Gratitude, Goals & Prayer Journal) on Amazon:https://a.co/d/09Djvaw Read Blog Here: https://www.yourjoyfulorder.com/blog/
