This week, we sit down with ESPN reporter and former Rutgers gymnast Lauren Sisler, whose story is as heartbreaking as it is inspiring. In 2003, Lauren lost both of her parents within hours of each other to fatal fentanyl overdoses—a devastating truth she was too ashamed to share at the time. For years, she told friends and teammates that her parents had died of heart failure and respiratory issues, hiding from the stigma of addiction. It wasn't until seven years later that Lauren began to face the truth, and a full decade before she opened their toxicology reports.In this powerful conversation, Lauren shares how she found the courage to peel back the layers of shame and grief and embrace what she now calls the “Shatterproof Mindset.” She opens up about the path to forgiveness, the resilience born from tragedy, and how learning to fall in love with her own story has allowed her to honor her parents' memory while helping others find healing in theirs.If you've ever struggled with grief, shame, or the fear of telling your truth, this episode will show you that even the most shattered stories can become unbreakable.Connect with Lauren on InstagramDM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

In this thought-provoking episode of Beautiful Work, Beautiful Life, Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin dive into the transformative journey of becoming resilient. They explore the richness of the words "resilience" and "becoming," sharing personal insights, client stories, and reflections on how adversity can be a powerful teacher. From the importance of finding safety, physically and emotionally, to cultivating emotional intelligence, reframing your story, and nurturing the four intelligences (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual), they guide listeners through the inner work that fosters lasting strength and growth. This conversation is an inspiring reminder that resilience is not just about bouncing back, but evolving into a fuller, wiser version of yourself. Journaling Prompts from the Episode: 1. When have I faced adversity in my life, and what did I learn from it? 2. In my current challenge, how am I becoming rather than simply doing? 3. Do I see myself as the hero/heroine of my story, or as a victim? Why? 4. Where in my life do I feel physically and emotionally safe? Where do I not? 5. How do I currently process my emotions? Is there a healthier way I could approach them? 6. If I rewrote my story with the lens of “It happened for me,” what insights would I discover? 7. Which of my four intelligences (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) feels most developed? Which needs more attention? 8. What beliefs or values give me strength during difficult times? 9. How would I approach life differently if I believed every experience was for my becoming? 10. When I feel emotionally stuck, what physical action could help me shift my state?

THE SECRET TO A BEAUTIFUL LIFE (Acts 3:1-21) Today's message is about the miracle of the healing of a man that had been crippled from his birth.  When this man was born, and his father and mother took him and examined him, they noticed that something was not quite right with the little baby's feet: his anklebones had not developed, nor his little feet. Somehow, they were not made whole, like feet should normally be for a little baby.  And this little boy never learned to walk. When other boys would go out to skip, run, and play, he couldn't. Later on, when other men went to work, there was no work that he could do. All that they could do was to take this man every day and put him down there at the gate to the temple, the gate that was called Beautiful. He had his little tin cup there, and as people would come and go to worship, he would cry out, “Baksheesh! Baksheesh! Alms! Help the poor! Help the poor!” And people would drop their pennies and their coins into his tin cup. Day after day, that is the way he lived. People would come and go, and he was right there at the gate of the temple.  And here is this man just outside that Beautiful Gate, because he cannot enter through it.  That is because Levitical law said that a deformed man could not enter past that gate.  So, here he was, on the wrong side of a beautiful life. He is just outside the gate, and he's crippled. Now, if you want a beautiful life, then I want you to picture yourself on the wrong side of the gate. Picture yourself, spiritually, as a cripple—unable to walk the walk of God, unable to work the work of God, unable to enter into the worship of God—on the wrong side of the gate. Picture a new life. Picture a gate gloriously beautiful.  Picture yourself on the wrong side of that gate, and you can't enter in without a miracle. I want you to picture the Lord Jesus Christ who was in Simon Peter that day. I want you to picture Him coming by you today and looking down at you, and I want you to picture today Jesus reaching down to you with a nail-pierced hand, taking you by your right hand, raising you up, spiritually giving you a lift that will last, and giving to you the power to enter in through the gate to the ports of God.  That is what this miracle is all about. God wants to give you a new life, today. He wants to make something beautiful of your life.  Click on the play button to hear a message on the secret to a beautiful life. This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.

As we continue our intensive study of the New Testament book of Colossians, this week we come to a passage where Paul paints a vivid picture of the positive values we're called to embrace as followers of Jesus. Paul's list includes some very familiar values -- the kind you'd expect. But it also identifies three values that are seldom discussed, yet critically important. This Sunday we'll explore those three critical values.

How do you see the world? Through what lens do you view life? You've heard it said that "seeing is believing." You've heard it said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, how we see life will largely determine the quality of our life. Join us on Sunday as we compare two dramatically different ways of seeing. This is the fifth installment in our study of the New Testament book of Colossians.

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli review Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry. They discuss the rivals-to-lovers tension between Alice and Hayden, two writers vying to tell the life story of reclusive heiress Margaret Ives. As the hosts dig into the layers of mystery, romance, and literary ambition, they debate who was more compelling: the scandal-ridden subject or the authors unraveling her secrets. Yajaira praises Henry's signature banter and emotional depth, while Cheli questions whether the romance overshadowed the biographical intrigue. With spoilers, swoons, and suspicions, they ask: did Great Big Beautiful Life fix their lives—or leave them longing for a better ending? Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: thebookfixpodcast@gmail.comfollow us on Tiktok! ♡ https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

One week before her wedding, on the Easter Morning in 2015 Stephanie Scott decided to stop by her classroom at Leeton High School to go over her lesson plans and other coverage documents she'd left for the substitute teacher one final time. By midafternoon, her fiancéAaron grew anxious by unanswered calls and texts, and reported her missing with Leeton Police. The Leeton community rallied, coordinating search efforts to this beloved member of their town. Sadly, on April 9th, twenty-four-year-old Vincent Stanford was formally charged with the murder of Stephanie Scott. The arrest of Vincent Stanford came as a surprise to Stephanie's friends and family, particularly because, as far as anyone could tell, he was little more than a stranger.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAustralian Associated Press. 2016.

Description: As a former TV producer turned novelist, Sophie Cousens' books have been published in over 20 languages. Her previous novels—including This Time Next Year and Before I Do—have delighted readers around the world with their warmth, humor, and honest portrayal of love in all its messy, beautiful forms. Today, we sit down with Sophie to discuss her decade of experience producing some of our favorite TV shows like The Graham Norton Show and Big Brother and how that valuable experience behind the scenes in television shaped the way she now tells stories as a novelist, allowing her to thread the needle between heartfelt and funny, heartwarming and satirical. We talk about her approach to writing—does she prefer to start with a character or a plot?--as well as how she brilliantly employs a variety of  familiar rom-com setups (friends-to-lovers, missed connections, etc.) yet, they never feel overt or cliché. If you've ever tried to date post-divorce, juggled motherhood with figuring out who the heck you even are anymore, or questioned whether love in your 40s is even worth it—you're going to enjoy today's conversation about our June JHBC selection, Is She Really Going Out With Him?  With nods to fairy tales, dating apps, and the iconic Joe Jackson song that inspired the title, the book asks: how do you start over when you're not 22 anymore—and how do you know when it's real? Thought-provoking Quotes: “I've been a producer on shows that were much more produced—you've got a script, you've got a plan, you know exactly what you're getting; whereas with [Big Brother] we were just dealing with real people and real people's emotions and the experience of being in this slight madhouse.” – Sophie Cousens “Tropes are enduring because they are beloved. Sometimes, that word has a negative connotation but, in this case, it's not true. These are story tropes that readers love. I love how you talk about them and go, no, I'm not going to steer away from them or try to reinvent them or try to avoid them. I'm going to go full-in.” – Jen Hatmaker “I absolutely love films of that 90s and 2000s era. That's very much the tone in which I write. I think there's something pure and simple about that era of films, which is why so many of them are enduring.” – Sophie Cousens Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Russel Howard's Good News - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00phwkz The Graham Norton Show - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006xnzc Big Brother - https://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/ Notting Hill (1999) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125439/ Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding - https://amzn.to/4dJsJ6y Just Haven't Met You Yet by Sophie Cousens - https://amzn.to/45IC4tt And Then There Was You by Sophie Cousens COMING NOVEMBER 2025 - https://amzn.to/3Fq5SR4 Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion (1997)  - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120032/ Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton) - https://www.instagram.com/claudiajessies/?hl=en Atmosphere: A Love Story by Taylor Jenkins Reid - https://amzn.to/4mYRzUk Great, Big, Beautiful Life by Emily Henry - https://amzn.to/43IRYTp Julia Whelan, audio narrator - https://jmwhelan.com/narrator/ The Husbands: A Novel by Holly Gramazio - https://amzn.to/4dQnNx5 Holly Bourne, author - https://hollybourne.co.uk/ Guest's Links: Website - https://www.sophiecousens.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sophie_cousens/ Twitter - https://x.com/sophiecous Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sophiecousensauthor Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

On this episode, I sit down for an inspiring conversation with Ken Miller, whose story is both moving and full of hope. Ken is an author, speaker, and resilience coach who has faced just about every challenge life can throw at a person. Growing up in foster care and later experiencing a turbulent family life, Ken went from being a promising Ivy League student to living on the streets and spending years behind bars. His journey through addiction and life on the streets is not something he hides. Instead, Ken shares it openly because he believes owning your story is the first step in moving forward.Throughout the episode, Ken talks about how he found his way out of that dark place by getting real with himself. He shares that telling yourself the truth is essential, even when it's painful. Ken also shares how big a role forgiveness played in his healing process. Ken makes it clear that forgiveness isn't just for the people who have hurt you, but also for yourself. We reflect on the idea that everyone's journey is different, and that there's no set timetable for feeling better after hitting rock bottom. Ken reveals that for him, becoming whole again took years, but it started with a little step, including getting outside his pain, finding supportive people to talk to, and learning to quiet the negative self-talk.We also highlight how important it is not to compare your pain or struggles to someone else's. No matter what you've gone through, your feelings are real and valid. Ken's message is simple: you have value and are worthy of a better future. Even if you're carrying a lot of pain or regret, you can begin again, and sometimes helping others or reaching out for support is what helps you most. Ken's book, Becoming Ken, weaves these lessons together, offering hope that, with honesty, a willingness to face the truth, and the courage to keep going, it is possible to transform your life one step at a time.About the Guest:Ken Miller is a powerful speaker, author, and resilience coach who helps people overcome adversity by embracing truth, courage, and self-worth. After battling addiction and hitting rock bottom, Ken rebuilt his life with honesty and purpose—and now shares that hard-won wisdom to inspire others. With a background in nonprofit leadership and a deep commitment to recovery and transformation, Ken speaks from experience, not theory. His story is raw, real, and deeply human, resonating with audiences who are ready to face their own struggles and rise stronger. On stage and behind the mic, Ken delivers more than inspiration—he offers practical tools, mindset shifts, and a path to lasting change. Whether speaking about addiction, authenticity, or the power of resilience, Ken connects with listeners profoundly, reminding them that no matter how far they've fallen, there's always a way forward—starting with the truth.To connect with Ken:Website: www.kenmillerspeaks.com Personal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ken.miller.10420321 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekenmillerspeaks/ Personal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenmiller84/About the Host: Mardi Winder-Adams is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

In this special episode of You Beauty, Leigh sits down with the iconic Jane Fonda for an intimate conversation about inner beauty, wellness, and the wisdom that comes with 87 incredible years of living. Fresh from her Australian adventures courtesy of Wanderlust True North, Jane opens up about what genuinely lights her up - from her fierce commitment to saving our planet to the daily rituals that keep her vibrant and energised. Jane gets honest about everything from beauty standards to perimenopause, and with her signature mix of wisdom and wit, she's living proof that reinvention and inner beauty is not only possible at any age - it's genuinely inspiring. This isn't just another celebrity chat; it's pure gold - a masterclass in living authentically from someone who's truly seen it all. Sometimes the most beautiful thing about a person is their courage to keep fighting for what matters, and Jane Fonda? She's the poster child.

Today's guest is a family favorite. That means I'm talking with Erika Wennerstrom from Heartless Bastards. There are times when I'm completely blown away that an artist agrees to be a guest on this podcast and this is one of those moments. But Erika was and is incredibly kind and gracious. We start off like we usually do, talking about what got her into music. It turns out that she knew she was going to be a singer by around the age of four.  We talk about early bands, like Shesus, the transformation from a shy, awkward person to fronting a band, and how she came up with the name Heartless Bastards. The band's sound has evolved over the course of six albums. Erika talks about struggling with writer's block, stepping back from the band to regroup, and doing her solo album.  After a brief tangent on designed obsolescence, Erika  pulls the curtain back on the latest Heartless Bastards album, A Beautiful Life. Disney and James Bond were influences to a few songs and Laurel Canyon asserts its influence.  Erika is full of great stories, like how Patrick Kearney of The Black Keys ended up with her demos, growing up with The Ohio Players (at least one of them), and swinging by Robert Plant's house to pick him up for drinks (he had shotgun, of course). Erika is currently writing music for the next Heartless Bastards album so keep following their social media accounts and theheartlessbastards.com for updates. Follow us @PerformanceAnx. Pick up merch at performanceanx.threadless.com. Or just give us money at ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety. And I hope you're as excited for this one as I was.

I first met Josey years ago, in one of the most emotionally charged environments you can imagine, a recovery group setting where we were supporting a close family friend in early sobriety. I had been invited to show up as part of their support system, and I ended up sitting in on a group session that Josey was leading. What I witnessed left a lasting impression. Her presence, professionalism, and ability to hold space for people in deep struggle, it was powerful.Fast forward to a few years later, we reconnected in a completely different context: the fitness world. We got to talking about her business, her mission, and the community she was building. That's when I realized she wasn't just running a company she was creating a movement for people who are working to rebuild their lives. And as 2025 began, I was lucky enough to join her team, offering support as a performance coach to clients who could benefit from that extra layer of care.Josey is the founder of Parallels Consulting, a standout therapy and psychiatric service that's redefining what healing can look like. Their philosophy is rooted in drawing powerful connections between past behavior and future outcomes, between what's lived and what's possible. It's about helping people move from surviving to thriving.Josey brings over 13 years of deep, hands-on experience across both the clinical and corporate sides of the healthcare world. Before stepping into leadership, she worked as a primary therapist at six top behavioral health facilities, where she not only treated clients but innovated. She created and authored a gender-specific program that brought holistic services into the therapeutic space something that changed lives and redefined what was possible for treatment centers.In this episode, we talk about why she does this work, what fuels her passion, how her own recovery shaped her path, and what it means to show up as a mother, wife, student, and healer all at once. Josey's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and deep service to others. If you're someone who's ever struggled or love someone who has this conversation is going to resonate.So, lean in. You might just walk away with a new perspective, some hope, and a deeper understanding of what's possible.And if you or someone you care about needs support, don't wait.

Known for books like Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation, Emily Henry is the patron saint of millennial romance. But for her latest novel, the author says she wanted to challenge herself in a new way. Great Big Beautiful Life is a story within a story about two journalists who are competing to write the biography of a fictional media heiress. There's romance at the center of the novel, but the story also follows a century-long family drama. In today's episode, Henry speaks with NPR's Miles Parks about braiding these two plots together, her interest in mother-daughter relationships, and grief as the flipside of love.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Inspired by Mary Oliver's iconic question, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”, Laurel explores how leadership and legacy are shaped by the choices we make, the values we embody, and the energy we bring to each moment. Leadership, she reminds us, isn't reserved for titles or formal roles. It's about living with intention, impact, and authenticity—in our relationships, our work, and even in the quiet moments when no one is watching.

Firstly, why are we so awkward? I guess running this podcast for almost three years isn't long enough to make us proper podcasters. Regardless, today we are going to be discussing the newest novel from Emily Henry, which is our third novel from Emily Henry.  About The Novel Alice Scott is an eternal optimist, still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-Prize-winning human thundercloud. And they're both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: To write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years--or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the 20th Century. When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which she'll choose the person who'll tell her story, there are three things keeping Alice's head in the game. One: Alice genuinely likes people, which means people usually like Alice—and she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over. Two: She's ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpressed family with a Serious Publication Three: Hayden Anderson, who should have no reason to be concerned about losing this book, is glowering at her in a shaken-to-the-core way that suggests he sees her as competition. But the problem is, Margaret is only giving each of them pieces of her story. Pieces they can't swap to put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they're in the same room. And it's becoming abundantly clear that their story—just like the tale Margaret's spinning—could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad…depending on who's telling it.     Wanna find our other socials? click here!

Description: Lisa Congdon may be an internationally known fine artist, illustrator and writer but she didn't achieve momentum in her career until she was nearly 40 years old. Prior to that time, she felt that her life hadn't mattered much, that she didn't have anything interesting to say. But, a total career pivot in her mid-thirties awakened a passion in her that had been lying dormant for decades and helped her find her powerful, beautiful voice. Despite taking an untraditional path, Lisa has achieved recognition, not just as an artist, but as a leader in the industry for her work in social justice, mentoring and teaching. Lisa says making art is what changed her relationship to her story. Today, Jen and Amy talk to Lisa Congdon about: What it looks and feels like to awaken to new possibilities in life The power of finding and harnessing your voice, something Lisa covers more in her book, Find Your Artistic Voice: The Essential Guide to Working Your Creative Magic How two really big things (joy and activism) can coexist in artistic expression Lisa's game-changing practice of “loud quitting” the things that no longer bring joy or something positive into her life *** Segments: Bless & Release: Loud Quitting Thought-provoking Quotes: I decided to develop a new narrative for my life and what it could become. I needed to start believing that I was worthy of love. – Lisa Congdon I think I've always been an artist and a maker and super-creative but I was operating in self-doubt. I learned to give myself permission to play and explore and change my own life. I was lit on fire because, for so many years, I had no sense of agency. But suddenly, I could do whatever I wanted, C I think my work is the marriage of a passion for social justice with the authentic joy I have for life. – Lisa Congdon  I found myself in a place where I was exhausted, miserable and doing things out of obligation. I worked hard at letting go. I got in a systematic process of taking inventory of my life, how I was spending my time. Every time I felt a rush of anxiety about doing something, I would stop and examine it. – Lisa Congdon Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Find Your Artistic Voice: The Essential Guide to Working Your Creative Magic by Lisa Congdon - https://amzn.to/4kkYAO1 Art, Inc.: The Essential Guide for Building Your Career as an Artist by Lisa Congdon - https://amzn.to/4ij5Ms2 The Live Your Values Deck - https://lisacongdon.com/products/values-deck Lisa Congdon's St. Mary's College Exhibit - https://www.stmarys-ca.edu/museum-art/lisa-congdon-hold-it-lightly Corita Kent - https://www.corita.org/ Guest's Links: Lisa's website - https://lisacongdon.com/ Lisa's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lisacongdon Lisa's Twitter - https://x.com/lisacongdon Lisa's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/lisacongdonart Lisa's Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/lisacongdon/ Connect with Jen!
