Episode 3 | In today’s episode, Tim discusses the benefits of discovering a career that falls in line with your passion(s) and talks to Kristi Hayes of Be Strong Story about how she created her own company based on their personal family mission. ...

Did anyone ever leave you a note in your lunch box when you were a kid? If you’re a parent, do you ever write an encouraging note in your kid’s lunch box? Would you ever think that a lunch box note could change your life or someone else’s? For my guest today, that’s exactly what happened. Kristi Hayes is the founder of Be Strong Story Family and host of the Be Love podcast, a company that was inspired by a lunch box note that her husband wrote to her son. The note said, “Be strong, protect the weak, love everyone.” Kristi is hilarious and so inspiring. I love the way she and her family live out this mantra that came from a lunch box note. I had the opportunity to be on Kristi’s Be Love podcast (episode 45). It was such a blast to have Kristi on my show, so join me to learn more about how one little action can change the course of your life and change lives! 2:23 - The Kristi 101 Kristi lives in Denver with her husband and two kids. She’s always had an entrepreneur’s heart, but her background is in youth ministry. Kristi’s husband was in the secret service, and while her family was living in DC, Kristi worked in politics on Capitol Hill and press advance for the White House. After DC, the family moved back to Oklahoma City and Kristi went back into youth ministry. About four years ago, Kristi and her family started a company called Be Strong Story. One day Kristi’s son started having trouble with a friend on the playground. Her husband put a message in his lunch box that said “Be Strong, Protect the Weak, Love Everyone.”  Kristi wanted her family to live out the message in their family and now the share that message through apparel, family coaching, and a children’s book. Be Strong Story also has a podcast called Be Love podcast that shares stories of people loving each other well.  When Kristi started her career in politics, she didn’t know anyone nor what she was getting into but learned as much as she could along the way. One day in a meeting Kristi froze right before she was called on to speak about an amendment. One of her coworkers buzzed her Blackberry to tell her exactly what she needed to say. It’s a great reminder to Kristi that even in a competitive environment, people can give with no agenda. Moving so often and living in places like DC, Oklahoma, St. Louis, and Colorado taught Kristi and her family so much about making community wherever life took them 17:14 – Be Strong The impact of Be Strong is about teaching our kids (and ourselves) to be who we are created to be. She wants to prepare her kids, other kids, and adults that negative words or gossip to not define them. All of us are weak. Usually those who appear weak are actually the strongest. At some point, any of us in life will be weak. It’s ok to be weak and ask for help, and when we are the ones able to bring light to others, it’s our job to step up for those who need a little help. Be Strong encourages us to keep an eye out for those who need help. We especially need to keep an eye out for those who are a little harder to love. There is a Be Strong Families group that serves every month together. Families that work toward a mission together to live their values form a very special bond with each other and grow as individuals too.  When we sit with others and hear their stories, it removes our judgements and preconceived notions and we see the humanity in someone who is more similar to us than they are different. When you strengthen a family unit, entire communities are made stronger as well. Often children don’t care about the things that adults notice. Kids often teach us as much or more when we’re serving with them than we teach them. Kids don’t have the same biases as adults, and don’t care when someone else acts different or looks different or had a very different life. 28:44 - Serving Right Where You Are Everyone has their own talents that can be used to serve others. You don’t even need a grand plan, and often you don’t even know what someone else needs. Be Strong asks people what they need instead of making their own plan or agenda to help. Helping is easy, and you can get involved even if you don’t live near Be Strong. Each month, Be Strong has a Family Coaching Network that helps teach different topics like communication, love languages, building a family mission, how to serve in your own home, serving with your kids when they’re little and more! There’s also an online community you can join to network and get connected to other like-minded people in your area who also want to help. 31:09 - Getting To Know Our Guest Find out what trends Kristi thinks people might be nostalgic for in 40 years, how she’d prove she’s from the future if she could travel back in time, what her walk up/hype song would be, and of course, what it means to Kristi to run a business with purpose!  Memorable quotes: 19:01: “There’s a phrase I say everyday to my kids as we fist pump out the door and it’s “Eyes Wide, Light Shine.” 21:30: “People are seeing the benefit of building relationship with those who are different than them and those who have different life experiences.” 28:08: “The more that we interact with those who are different than us who might be struggling, and we hear their story and we learn that they are like us in so many ways, that is when we have this open-hand approach.”  28:23: “I love giving the opportunities to families, young and old, to serve one another together.”

My heart melted listening to Kristi Hayes, co-founder of her family’s company Be Strong Story. Yes, her family mission as we know it now began with a lunchbox note from her husband to her son encouraging him to “Be Strong. Protect the weak. Love everyone.” But God was on the move in her life long … Continue reading Episode 027 – Kristi Hayes of Be Strong Story

Kristi Hayes is the one of founders of the BE STRONG STORY shop and movement. It all started with a note her husband put into her sons lunch box. And this lunch box note turned into company with inspiring products and providing jobs for those in need. Kristi has done a great job at using this company to reach out to other families and provide people with a way to serve as a family in new ways. She is giving tangible ways for families all over to protect the weak. And as a contributor to the TODAY PARENT Kristi is reminding parents that they are perfect parent for their kids right where they are. BE STRONG. PROTECT THE WEAK. LOVE EVERYONE. One of my favorite ways they model protecting the weak and love everyone is they use Sox Place Screen Printing. Sox Place provides employment and job training opportunities for homeless and at-risk youth through one-on-one mentorship, allowing them to gain job and life skills that can be utilized to break the ruthless cycle of homelessness. In their jewelry stamping they have partnered with  BRANDED COLLECTIVE. Brand Collective exists to empower survivors of human trafficking through meaningful employment and economic independence. I love that when you purchase from this company you know that your money is going to help others in such an impactful way.

Amy here. I usually like to remain anonymous when I write these but this week was EVERYTHING to me. We are talking shop with mompreneur and overall bad ass, Kristi Hayes of BE Strong Story. Their companies mantra is “be strong, protect the weak, and love everyone” I mean, come on, sign me up for whatever that is. This interview hit home for me because I'm 33 with no kids, no husband, and none of those two in any near sight...by all considerations, I should start collecting cats and building my cats trees. I've always had this tremendous fear that as a fearless, independent, driven, successful woman you would have to give all that up to have kids or get married. I know ME, of all people, after all we talk about on this episode should really GTFO but Kristi shows us that she has NOT let these things define her rather has created an authentic life through some serious hardships. Kristi is a mom of two, a wife to a hottie husband and is learning what it means to find her passion in her work and in her home life with her family. Her company, Be Strong Story, sells amazing apparel that goes to all kinds of good organizations. She even employs the homeless to help make their company shirts. This girl is the real deal so check out The Be Strong Story.   Thank you Kristi for sharing your story and giving me hope of airplane love. Stay Nasty. --Amy & Olivia   Thanks for listening! If you found this episode to be helpful, pass it along. Sharing is caring. While you're at it, please leave us a 5 star review and follow us on instagram. See you next week!

Kristi Hayes joins me today on Thriving Beyond Belief! It was wonderful speaking with her and discovering our kinship with our hearts for women. We share a passion to help women thrive as their whole selves- physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Kristi does her life with her husband, Grant, and her two children now in Denver. She and her husband have a ministry called “Be Strong Story” that they began 2 years ago. What began as a simple note to their son that encouraged him to be strong and protect the weak blossomed into a ministry that helps families live in the same mentality. A big discussion for us today is how we, as women, reevaluate life after children. For those that work hard in every way, we talk about the balance of thriving in our own story as well as balancing that with raising children well and being fully present with our families. Kristi and I discuss the balance of her marriage, different communication styles, the importance of prayer with each other, and keeping the Lord at the forefront of the marriage. Date nights, marriage accountability partners, and adventuring together are some of the few things that have helped keep Kristi’s marriage thriving. It was refreshing to discuss the glorification of the busy with Kristi, where so often we “do” a lot of things, but “sprinkle God’s name” in everything, without it truly being for the Lord. Kristi was asked to “stop” by the Lord and be truly content to just be with Him. We too often find our worth in the work we say we are doing for the Lord instead of our worth and value being truly in Christ Himself. From the topic of true accountability to being vulnerable to fears that we share, this episode truly hits home with so many issues that we as women face today. We often struggle between the balance of who we think we are, what others perceive about us, and what the Lord tells us about ourselves that is the ultimate truth. He speaks to us through His Word that tells us who we truly are in Him. A challenge that this episode presents is if we are truly spending time with the Lord because we see it as a box to check off for the day or if we truly have a desire to spend time knowing the Lord more. Please tune in to receive some true encouragement and wisdom from my talk with Kristi. It will bless your day!
