On this week's episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Erika Evans to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Over 25 years of experience in the beauty and wellness industry led Erika (EJE) to have worked with a range of everyday women, and executives, celebrities and models. After seeing chemical damage, stressed and over processed hair, to thinning hair and hair loss, EJE noticed clients were losing self-confidence. She found that women's wellness in general was lacking due to work demands, schedules and raising families. These challenges resulted in the consumption of more fast and processed foods, prescription medications and little to no exercise. EJE has a system to help women, even a few men achieve overall wellness, a balanced lifestyle. The EJE Lifestyle Blueprint. Curated in 2010, The EJE Lifestyle Blueprint, is a uniquely planned approach through applied techniques of compiled research and formulations, using natural ingredients to improve and cure the damaging effects of unhealthy hair, skin and body. Each plan is customized to the individual needs of each client and is tracked in a HAIRPORT, a fancy version of a passport to keep up with your hair and wellness journey! During our chat Erika shared how she supports her clients who have been diagnosed with cancer, her opinion on cosmetic licensing for wig stylists, how to have hard conversations with your clients, what it's like going from salon to salon suite, old school practices in a modern world and so much more.

Take this Free Quiz to see how close you are to finding your pottery voice click here to take the quiz shapingyourpottery.com/quiz  Listen in as we journey into the world of ceramics and pottery with the incredibly talented ceramic artist, Claire McCauley. Known for her unique sculptural mugs and illustrative pottery, Claire gives us an insider's view into her creative process and how she uses storytelling to breathe life into her creations. We learn about her fascination with pregnancy and birth, her decision not to have children, and how these aspects of her life influence her art. Join us as Claire opens up about her time at the Maureen Center for Clay residency, her evolution as an artist, and her use of sketching to develop her own unique voice. Don't miss our exploration of discovering one's artistic voice in pottery making, as we share our own experiences and challenges faced in creating what we think people want versus what brings us joy. Claire offers insightful advice for budding artists and emphasises the importance of enjoying the journey of creating, failure and all, as a key to finding your voice. In our chat, we also highlight the role of happiness in art, where Claire shares her belief that there is no such thing as a bad sketch and encourages us all to find joy in our artistic endeavors. Tune in for a deeply inspiring conversation and an opportunity to learn more about Claire's journey and her advice for aspiring creators. You can learn more about claire by checking out her Instagram @clayremccauley Top 3 Value Bombs: 1. Importance of Enjoying Your Craft: One of the most crucial lessons from the podcast is the emphasis on creating what brings joy to the artist. Claire McCauley highlights the need to enjoy the process of creating, stating that people are more likely to buy products that they can see were made with joy and passion. This reinforces the importance of passion and love for the craft in creating a successful artistic career. 2. The Role of Failure in Finding Your Artistic Voice: McCauley talks about the importance of not being afraid to fail when discovering your artistic voice. She advises artists not to worry too much about finding their unique style immediately but to focus more on enjoying the journey and trying out new things. Even if something doesn't work, it's an opportunity to learn and grow. 3. The Value of Storytelling in Art: McCauley provides insight into how storytelling can play a significant role in ceramics and pottery. She notes that pottery pieces are a perfect vehicle for storytelling as you need to view the entire object, and it requires movement through space with the object. This shows how an artist can incorporate personal narratives or broader themes into their work, making it more engaging and meaningful for the audience.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Health Home Hustle podcast! Today I am joined by a very special guest: Skin Diligent's co-founder Tule Park. If you've been tuning into the last few episodes of the show, you'll already be familiar with Skin Diligent as they're our current show sponsor. Tule is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to ALL things skincare and cosmeceuticals. As you'll hear in this episode, Tule is forensically interested in health, the interconnectedness of the systems within our bodies, the impact our lifestyle choices can have on our gene expression, and how products and other factors can have an impact on our hormones. Yes, we're talking skincare, but we discuss SO much more! Having worked with a number of Korean cosmeceutical companies earlier on in her career, Tule had a clear vision for a European based cosmeceutical brand, focused on improving skin health, reinforcing the skin barrier, and getting results with intelligent delivery systems for proven active botanical ingredients. The result is Skin Diligent—a beautiful primarily natural cosmeceutical brand which truly delivers on its promises via targeted skincare and supplements. In this episode Tule and I really deep dive into what it means to have ‘healthy skin'. And spoiler, it may not mean what you think it means! We address topics including: - what our endocrine system is, and its relevance when it comes to skincare choices - sensitive skin, what it means and how you can still use products which include wonder-ingredients like Vitamin C - the difference between moisturisation and hydration And so much more!

I believe that gathering at the table over a simple meal is one of the best ways to love people and invite them to a closer relationship with God. Welcome to The JOY Series on the Dear Daughters Podcast! Right now we're talking about how to find joy at the table and I've invited some of my table experts to the show.   Jen Schmidt lives in North Carolina with her husband, Gregg, and is a mom of five children and two daughters-in-law. Jen shares her heart for Jesus and hospitality on her blog, Balancing Beauty & Bedlam, and “accidental author” of her book, Just Open the Door. And, she now owns the Becoming Cottage to host ministry events (a lifelong big God dream of hers). Jen loves opening her door to people, engaging in deep conversation filled with truth and grace, and blessing everyone who sits at her table … or stands around her kitchen island. I hope this conversation we have is a blessing and an encouragement to you. We can learn our own kind of table ministry from Jesus. Jesus was always inviting, always including, always wooing, and he centered so much of his ministry around the table, feeding people, meeting people, loving people. But we overthink this. So, on this episode we dive a little deeper into what it looks like practically for us to ”evangelize at the table” … to be a blessing to others and simply live out what is so important in our lives, wherever we are in our lives, with intention. I hope that you will be brave and not overthink it and make the invitation. You have exactly what you need. I pray that you can be a blessing and a light to others.

“I really believe that when you're in your home, it should feel like you're on a vacation,” says Carla Toutz, interior designer and founder of CT Home. Carla first discovered her love of interior design when she was eight years old, and her mom would constantly find her reorganizing the furniture in her bedroom. Carla explains that doing this allowed her to gain a sense of control over her space and to create a more comfortable and calming environment for herself. To Carla, one of the most common misconceptions about interior design is that it is only accessible to people with a large amount of money to spend. Instead, Carla explains that you can always find ways to create magic in a space, even if it's on a budget! While Carla certainly admires the luxurious spaces featured in publications like Architectural Digest, her main goal as an interior designer is to find the perfect balance between beauty and livability for her clients. A space should elevate your life, but it should also facilitate your day-to-day needs. Tune into this week's episode of Pushing Dirt for a conversation with Carla about creating chemistry in your indoor space. Learn more about Carla's personal style, how she collaborates with her clients to bring their unique visions to life, and how to create the perfect coffee table moment!   Quotes • “My love for interior decorating started when I was 8 years old. I honestly think it was due to a chaotic household that I grew up in. My mom said she would come home, and I would have rearranged my furniture at midnight….It was sort of giving me a sense of control, and it gave me a sense of how I could make where I had to be at the time more aesthetically pleasing to calm myself as a child.” (2:38-3:14) • “I really believe that when you're in your home, it should feel like you're on a vacation.” (4:12-4:16) • “I like things to be functional….It should look really beautiful, and it should elevate how you feel about your life, but it should also work with your life.” (11:00-11:15)   Connect with Carla Toutz • Website: www.cthomela.com • IG: @ct_home_la   Connect with Host Camilla Rantsen • IG: @camillarantsen • LinkedIn: Camilla Outzen Rantsen • Facebook: Camilla Outzen Rantsen  • TikTok: @camillarantsen • Twitter @camillarantsen   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Leslie is joined by Jen Schmidt of Balancing Beauty and Bedlam. They talk about hospitable homeschooling, which in a time where gathering in groups is so limited, I think you will be encouraged and challenged as you look at how God wants to use you and your family to bless others and show them God's great love through the ministry of hospitality.  Transcript Leslie (00:03): Hey there and welcome to the Homeschooling Family Podcast by Teach Them Diligently. Here we discuss just about everything that comes into play. When you're a Christian homeschooling family, I'm Leslie Nunnery, and on today's podcast, I'm joined by Jen Schmidt of Balancing Beauty and Bedlam together. We're going to discuss hospitable homeschooling, which in a time when getting together in big groups is so limited, I think you're going to be encouraged and challenged as you look at how God wants to use you and your family to bless others and show them. God's great love for them through the ministry of hospitality. Jen shares specific ways her family has done this as we chat about a subject that you're going to see is pretty near and dear to both of our hearts. This was originally recorded as part of a series we did in teach them diligently 365 about living boldly. I invite you to check out that whole series as a TTD365 member for today, though. Let's dive right in and talk about hospitable homeschooling together. Leslie (01:24): We are back this week to talk once again about how living boldly looks in our daily lives and in our families. And I want to tell you about... Actually, I want to kick it off by telling you about a book that I read. It's called "just open the door". It's by Jen Schmidt. And it just so beautifully encapsulated what my heart has been in talking about hospitable homeschooling and hospitable living that I immediately reached out to Jen and begged her to come on and do this video with me, because I think that you can benefit so much by hearing her heart in this and her story. So, Jen, I want to welcome you to Teach Them Diligently. And just, can you tell us a little bit about yourself, maybe a little bit behind the heart of why you wrote this beautiful book on hospitality? Jen (02:15): Thank you, Leslie. It's such an honor to be here and oh, that's such a loaded question because when I think of the book "Just Open the Door", it really is a legacy of hospitality and lifestyle that we've lived. And I call myself an accidental author because I've been a homeschool mom for 20 years. I can barely even believe I'm saying that our eldest son is 24 and we homeschooled him all the way through. And so in the middle of the, you know, the day to day life, I started realizing, Lord, how can we best in the midst of raising five children and homeschooling and wanting to live boldly for the gospel? I just prayed and asked him, how can you make my time filled with as much kingdom purpose as possible? And he began revealing over and over and over how opening my door and inviting others to do life together, whether that's in a mentorship role, whether that's in an evangelistic role or whether it's just, you know, encouraging each other on that mission of motherhood. Jen (03:25): Um, and so when I was approached about writing this book, initially I had said, no, I just didn't think I had it in me. And then as the Lord just prompted my heart to say, Jen, your parents model this open door living for you. And you have the opportunity to look back on decades from when I was, you know, small young child. And they opened the door to me through adoption, which is the greatest act of hospitality, um, and how their ministry of open door living impacted mine. And so just open the doors a little different than your typical hospitality book. In fact, the, um, tagline is “how one invitation can change a generation”. And when we were talking about the title, I even said, I don't want hospitality in the word at all in the title, because as women,

When we open our homes to hospitality, how do our day-to-day lives change? Jen Schmidt is the popular lifestyle blogger behind Balancing Beauty and Bedlam, and she’s the author of the brand-new book Just Open the Door: How One Invitation Can Change a Generation. Jen is Kristin’s kindred spirit, and today they trade tidbits of wisdom about shepherding guests into their homes. And stay tuned to the very end of the episode, where Jen reveals her favorite ways to get folks to the table (hint: brunch is involved).

Coffee Talk Topic: Open Door Living Open Door Living means to live in a posture of Hospitality as an act of service, to glorify God everywhere you are. Host Brandee Nielsen says: “In Romans 12:13 Paul teaches us to “always be eager to practice hospitality. The definition of the word hospitality means the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers. I bet the first thing that comes to mind is about hosting guests in your home. This is one way to do it, but it's not the only way. Paul was talking about hospitality as exemplified in Christ.” Featured Guest: Jen Schmidt Jen Schmidt is a popular speaker, worship leader and founder of the annual Becoming Conference. Balancing Beauty and Bedlam is a blog Jen created to encourage and challenge women to embrace both the beauty and bedlam of their everyday lives. In her latest book, Just Open the Door, Jen tackles hospitality as an act of Worship. Jen says “worship is any act that brings pleasure to God. It's any act aimed at His glory. Hospitality, in the true sense of service, is an act of worship and surrender. It's an opportunity we have for Christian discipleship and evangelism. I look at Jesus as the hospitality guru. He is the Master of all things welcome. Jesus walked a road of welcome and invited people wherever He was at.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Connect with Jen at www.beautyandbedlam.com Get a copy of Jen's book, Just Open The Door, at on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Just-Open-Door-Invitation-Generation/dp/1433643073 Subscribe to the Christian Coffee Talk Podcast on iTunes Podcast, Google Play Podcast, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and Stitcher.

For many of us, inviting people into our lives and homes feels more like inviting judgment on our entertaining skills and stress on our already maxed-out schedules. But what if you knew that opening your front door had the power to radically change the world? To make an impact and leave a legacy with everyday invitations? Jen Schmidt has set out to reframe how we think about hospitality and to equip us to walk a road of welcome in our daily lives. Jen knows that every time we choose open-door living—whether in our homes or by taking hospitality on the road just like Jesus—those we invite in get to experience the lived-out Gospel, our kids grow up in a life-lab of generosity, and we trade insecurity for connection.
