Do you feel like other moms have it all together, while you struggle silently? Are you really enjoying the journey of parenthood… or are you just trying to survive? You are not alone! You want so much to be a "good" mom. Yet, you're afraid you aren't. There's hope. You are on the right track. Alli Worthington joins Stephanie today to address the mom who is ready to live a life outside the unachievable cliche of “Supermom” – regardless of the season of life you are in. This is NOT a conversation about parenting – this is a conversation about your personal wellbeing as you navigate motherhood. It is about your own wellness, so that you can love others well. It is about embracing a healthy mom mindset. So, whether you are considering starting a family, or whether your adult children are now raising their own babies, this conversation is for you!

If you can't stop comparing yourself to other moms, this conversation is for you. If you're looking for ways to protect your emotional, spiritual, and physical health, this conversation is for you. If you can't break the cycle of pleasing others, this conversation is for you. If you crave more meaningful relationships with your children, this conversation is for you. Alli tells us, “Drop the “good mom” myths that have been stealing your happiness. Rediscover the beautiful, joy-filled, sacred and secret art of confident motherhood.” If you're ready to rewrite the parts of motherhood that are stressful and exhausting so you can raise your little–or not-so-little–humans with a healthy mom mindset, it's time to discover the secret art of confident motherhood. MORE ABOUT “REMAINING YOU WHILE RAISING THEM” You're allowed to enjoy motherhood- and pursue it in your own unique way. Remaining You While Raising Them will give you tools and a framework you can return to over and over as you pursue a life you love while raising children you love. Alli says, “I know you want to be a wonderful mother. And you're worried you aren't. Whether you arrived at motherhood by birth, adoption, or marriage, you want to get it right. Me too. I spent too many years caught in the trap of lies that surround modern motherhood. I want more for you than that. You're worth it!

I also co-founded and served as the CCO (Chief Creative Officer) of Blissful Media Group. And it all started when I founded the magazine for women, Blissfully Domestic.

Today is a podcast in the making for almost a year. I was finally able to sit down with Jen Brazeal. Jen and I met at Blissdom in Nov 2019. Jen has such a sweet soul and is on a mission to help others find an unhurried lifestyle. But Jen didn’t get to this spot overnight, she was a teacher and photographer, an author, and now podcast host! She shared her journey with me and along the way gave such good insight on how to find purpose and clarity. I hope you enjoy this girl talk session as much as I did. It’s one I’ll be listening to again and again. ------------------------ Jen’s Links IG: @jenbrazeal Jen’s website: https://jbrazeal.com Creative Business Startup Audiobook https://jbrazeal.lpages.co/cbs-free-audiobook/ Total Phone Declutter (Free Photo Challenge): https://jbrazeal.com/OYPC ------------------------ Let's get ready to connect the dots!

In this episode of By His Grace, I chat with Alli Worthington, the author of several books, co-founder of Called Creatives, and the founder of the Blissdom conference.

Today, I welcome April Corbett to the show. She is an engineer, project manager, and an amazing creative. April and I met at Blissdom back in November 2019. I was instantly drawn to her message. Back in the early summer after as the civil unrest in the US was boiling over, I reached out to April to have a conversation. A conversation about race, specifically. As a white woman, I knew I needed to take a step back to listen and learn. April was kind enough to spend time talking with me about situations she has been in and helped me to see places where I can change. After our first conversation, I knew I had to have her come on the podcast to share this message. This conversation is long and covers a lot of ground. But this conversation is good, deep, and timely. I hope this podcast helps you see another perspective so we can continue to fight for equality and unity in our country. It’s more important than ever that we come together, offering respect and understanding of one another. I would love to hear your feedback on this episode so please reach to me on Instagram, Facebook, or email. XO, Heather Social Links: @msheatherbdot @polkadotdesk heather@thepolkadotdesk.com

Today, I bring you my conversation with Carrie Grace. I met her at Blissdom back in November of 2019. Her website tag line describes her perfectly, “encourager, motivational speaker, & believer in kindness.” She sat down with me to talk all things speaking and socks. Do these two things seem related? Maybe not now, but they will after you listen to the podcast. We talked about how she got her start in speaking and the process of preparing. She gave some behind the scenes of crafting the customer experience. We also talked about her new company, The Kindness Socks. The mission she has for this brand is amazing!

Alli Worthington is the author of The Year of Living Happy, Fierce Faith: A Woman's Guide to Fighting Fear, Wrestling Worry and Overcoming Anxiety and Breaking Busy: Finding Peace and Purpose in a World of Crazy, she is the co-founder of the Blissdom Conference, and is a speaker, podcaster, and business coach. Her goal is to help women reach the next level. Alli co-founded multiple companies and has helped individuals, small business owners, and Fortune 500 companies be more successful. Alli's no-nonsense, guilt-free take on business, family, and balance lead to appearances on The Today Show and Good Morning America. Alli, her husband, Mark, and their five sons live outside of Nashville, TN with the only golden retriever who refuses to retrieve.TAKEAWAYS:Alli's super power is knowing when and how to pivot. She has an uncanny ability to be able to tell what a client needs to do and how to do it to achieve the results they desire. Alli got her first break on the Today Show because of a Today Show producer attending her conference, Blissdom. There is serious POWER in getting out from behind our laptops and meeting people in-person.We are the first generation of mompreneurs building digital businesses, so there is no roadmap for us. It's important that we pave our own way and show others how to successfully manage a business while raising our families.In 2010 Alli had a huge “AH HA” moment when she realized that Blissdom is what she is supposed to do for the rest of her life. She pumped her fist in the air (which is something that is so uncharacteristic of her) and someone captured it on film, and it's her favorite photograph of all time.The speakers at Blissdom aren't allowed to share anything you can Google for free.To get to point A to point B in our business, it's going to take a sacrifice. If you want to take that leap, everything you want is on the other side of that sacrifice.RESOURCES:Check out the blog post that accompanies this episode: www.allisonhardy.com/blog1/episode137Visit Alli on her website: www.alliworthington.comListen to the Alli Worthington Show: www.alliworthington.com/podcastFollow Alli on Instagram: www.instagram.com/alliworthingtonLearn more about the Blissdom Conference: www.allisonhardy.com/blissdomSnag a 50% off coupon for your membership to my favorite project management system, Honeybook: https://bit.ly/allisonhoneybook Get a copy of the 33 Places to Promote Your Lead Magnet for yourself!

I'm with the amazing Carlos Whittaker to talk about his dramatic career shift from leading worship to becoming a best-selling author and speaker.   We'll also discuss what it means to kill the proverbial spiders in our lives and how we can truly pursue a life of freedom and abundance. You are going to love this one!   In this episode we discuss: 1. His dramatic career change 2. How he landed his first speaking gig at the White House 3. How to really change our behavior and our lives 4. How to kill the proverbial spiders in our life Favorite quotes: 1. I felt like God was telling me it was time to stop leading worship and singing and start writing a book. And, for me because I did all the work ahead of time with my blog—I had spent years building a tribe of people that were used to reading what I had to say, that wasn't going to be a hard transition for them. But, for me, it was scary. How in the world was I going to do the speaking and the writing thing? 2. I feel like a lot of worship leaders come up to me and say, “I think I want to do something else.” I always say, “Awesome. How have you been building into what that next thing is? That is what you are going to need to do right now and it's going to take a little time.” 3.  My father said to me, “Carlos, I've watched you your entire life clean the cobwebs of sin. You can no longer clean the cobwebs. You must kill the spider, the root of your behavior.”   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. I saw you taught on “mom guilt” for Mother's Day. Can I watch the sermon anywhere and can you share some wisdom from it? (47:33) 2. What version of the Bible do you use? My church uses NIV and NLT and my Bible Study uses ESV. I want to make sure that I'm using the right versions and I trust your opinion.  (55:40) 3. Did you have a mentor who taught you how to communicate professionally from the stage and on your show? (57:15) Links to great things we discussed: 1. Kill the Spider 2. Moment Maker 3. 21 Day Detox- Dr. Caroline Leaf 4. The OA on Netflix 5. Walking With God by John Eldridge 6. The Samsung Frame 7.

In 2006, after 12 years of being a stay-at-home mom to FIVE BOYS, Alli Worthington walked into a bookstore and was overwhelmed by the desire to write a book. But about what? She had no idea where to start, so she went home to her computer, got on her dial-up internet (ah, the nostalgia!) and began googling "how to get a book deal."  One of the results told her she could get a book deal if she had a blog and a large following. So... she googled, "what is a blog?" Now, 13 years later, Alli has authored two books, "Fierce Faith" and "Breaking Busy." She's also a podcaster ("the Alli Worthington Show"), an entrepreneur, and co-founded The Blissdom Conference. P.S. - I attended Blissdom in 2013 in Dallas and loved it so much I'm returning this year (2019) in Nashville, and will be a Community Leader again!  In this episode, I asked Alli what gets her up in the morning (she has a very "real-life" answer!); how she stays organized; how she builds community; how she sets boundaries online; and how she decides when to take a risk in her business. Alli also tells us about Blissdom's beginnings, its hiatus, and what we can expect from the conference in 2019. I just love Alli to pieces. She's so down to earth and as a fellow boy mom, I'm inspired by her relationships with her boys.  Follow Alli on Instagram and visit her website at www.alliworthington.com. 

I'm with the wonderful Allie Casazza today and we have such a great show for you! We talk about parenting, motherhood, overcoming depression, and starting our businesses from scratch. Allie is joining us at Blissdom this year teaching a workshop on how to build your brand and your business with a podcast and I'm so excited for you to hear from her today!     In this episode we discuss: 1. Minimalism for real people 2. Thriving in Motherhood 3. Starting a successful business with a Google search bar     Favorite quotes: 1. I began to really struggle with being a mom and being a woman with not working because I felt guilty. And honestly I felt kind of shamed in my community of Christians that  I was surrounded by, and traditional gender roles so I kind of stuffed it down. 2. Minimalism needs to be relative for who you are and what you love. 3. I remember struggling from a really young age, maybe even before jr high, with the desire that I had to create and do something. 4. I hit my limit and I just said I'm done and I'm gonna follow this thing that I feel building in me and I really felt like it's from the Lord and I'm gonna go for it. 5. I don't buy the whole “Good Christians are broke.” game.   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. How do you work from home and stay productive? (39:38) 2. Did Jesus have siblings? (45:06) 3. What's been the most difficult part of starting a podcast and are you glad you did it? (46:05) Links to great things we discussed: 1. Allie Casazza , The Purpose Show2. Sia- Unstoppable3.

Unless you live it, you don't know it, and I felt like God had to let me live through it to know it.       In this episode I answer these questions: 1. What products do you use on your hair?

  I'm with the amazing Sheila Walsh with one of the most impactful shows we have ever done. We dive into mental health, healing, and rising above what the world throws at you. I think this is a show you will listen to and immediately send it to five friends. It's that important! Grab a tissue, and a notepad, and get ready to have your life changed with this one!    In this episode we discuss: 1. The importance of taking care of our mental health 2. Why taking care of ourselves is so important for raising the next generation 3.The journey of dealing with buried pain and long-time struggles   Favorite quotes: 1. To love God when you don't understand His ways is a greater miracle than an instantaneous healing. 2. Some of God's most precious gifts comes in packages that make your hands bleed when you open them but inside there something you been longing for your whole life. 3. I think that we as the church have not done a great job in helping us struggling with mental illness sometimes it's been purely out of ignorance that we don't understand the process. 4. It's totally to struggle. It doesn't mean you love God less. It's okay to be angry with God doesn't mean you don't trust Him. It means you think He's big enough to handle it.   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. How do you handle differences with all your kids? (42:21) 2.  How should I handle fasting as someone who has a tendency to have an eating disorder? (45:57) 3. What's the best way to promote products without spamming people?

There's such a beauty and wholeness that comes with that willingness to really look at the hard stuff and be honest about it. 3. What does it look like to live in wholeness for me? 4. Brave love is this honest living. I'm gonna be honest about what I think and feel and you may not like it. It may hurt you.

I'm with the delightful Margaret Feinberg who traveled all over the world on a great culinary exploration of scripture! She teaches that God is the ultimate foodie, and I already want to go travel the world on my own culinary adventure. Who's with me?  In this episode we discuss: 1. Why God is the original Foodie. 2. Her latest big adventure around the world. 3. How God redeems food.    Favorite quotes: 1. (On dreams) I would love to encourage our friends if you have an idea it may not be something that you are going to do or act on for another 3 or 5 or 10 years, but when that day comes, it will be so much more beautiful and so much more richer because you waited.   2. I think for some of us, we forget that God has great, big adventures for us and some of them happen on the other side of the world in a different country, and some of them happen right in our own towns, and in our own communities with the people all around. And that's the thing that I love about Taste and See, is that it's this invitation not to go on this great big culinary food adventure but for you to take your own.   3. The unique giftings, the unique areas, the unique appearance, the unique backgrounds, those things that make you unique are what God wants to use, I believe, to help flavor and influence this world. In this episode I answer these questions: 1. Please share a funny memory you have with your husband. (36:30) 2. How can you grow a strong community early in your faith walk? (40:25) 3. Where can I find a mentor or accountability partner when starting a new online business? (42:00)   Links to great things we discussed: 1. Margaret Feinberg 2. Taste and See 3. Sharper Objects 4. Atypical 5. The Sacred Slow 6. Women of Fierce Faith 7. Blissdom 8. Passion-Follow you anywhere     Hope you loved this episode!

I'm with the Grammy-winning, Artist of the Year, and all around phenomenal Francesca Battistelli and she shares with us what it's really like to be a mom of four little kids while balancing a big career. She is funny, down-to-earth, wonderful!   In this episode we discuss: Balancing her life at home with four young kids and balancing that with touring and creating albums The real behind-the-scenes of songwriting The song I voted will be released next for radio play     Favorite quotes: I'm in the thick of it with motherhood. I'm in the thick of it career wise and I can be frustrated about how stressful it is or I can just step up to the plate and ask the Lord to help me and get over myself.   That's the Lord. He takes your plans and goes, “Yup, nope. We're gonna alter that a little bit but nice try!” Jesus paid the biggest price for you and you are literally worth the best and don't settle for anything less in any part of your life.        In this episode I answer these questions: 1. How do you handle Christmas with a big family without going crazy? (34:30) 2. What type of church do you go to? Do you prefer a certain denomination, if so why? (39:40) 3. What is Blissdom?

A book can teach you something new. It can inspire you to make positive changes in your life and can take you to a different level in your life. Reading is so important to me which is why I am excited for Allie Reads October here on the podcast! All month I am interviewing some amazing authors. We will talk about their books, life, and living a life of purpose and intention. Alli Worthington is the founder of Blissdom, which is the largest international women's small business conference in the world and she just released her third book, The Year of Living Happy. She is driven to see conversations about happiness change from an external perspective to an internal one. Generally, unhappiness is caused by little things and if we just make little, small changes - changes to the way we think changes to our habits - it brings so much happiness into our lives. Use the hashtag #AllieReadsOctober to share with me this month. What are you reading? Did you get any of the books from the authors I’m talking to you about? Are you reading a different book? How are you taking this challenge to read more and putting it into action? I cannot wait to see what you share!
