This week I speak with Kim Mosiman who is a woman smack dab in the middle of her second act: Her children are grown and joyfully living lives of their own. She enjoys writing, traveling, and perfecting her technique in her new role as Nana. She is a certified nutritionist and personal trainer who closed her small boutique gym in 2017. She thought she was ready to retire and fade into the sunset, but the sudden career change created a lack of purpose in her life. She was alone during the day and abandoned the good habits she had counted on for many years. As a lifelong coach, she recognized the signals and slowly turned her health back around by adding small, sustainable practices into her daily routine. She documented her journey and felt called to share her story. Her first book, Reflections of Joy, was released in May 2024. It is a Christlit Award winner and stands out as a vital resource for women entering their second act. Mosiman nudges readers to let go of the things that have held them back so they can explore the world of opportunities available to women in their middle years. She recently released a companion journal, My Owner's Manual, to help women learn the importance of gathering data in their quest to age well and stay healthy. Kim became a certified Christian life coach in 2023 and has recently expanded her offerings to include wellness coaching and helps new authors launch their books into the world through her coaching business writer-2-writer. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life.

This was an extension of my Thankful Thursdays thoughts and doings. I wanted to speak (more) about having, and ultimately finding gratitude in the things that surround us. Granted, it's very easy to focus on what factors aren't assisting specific systems and environments, but it seems difficult to find the small, or big things that serve us. In this state of things, we have to learn to lean more in what serves us greatly. Even if it's a little gesture. In this episode, I share my thoughts on how I show gratitude and grace to what I've been fortune to experience. Hopefully, it'll resonate with others. Enjoy. Follow all socials and subscribe to Mr. Al Pete's website: https://mralpete.com and subscribe to The MPN Network website: https://mpn-llc.com. Instagram: @mralpete Threads: @mralpeteMPN YouTube: https://youtube.com/@alpete Substack: https://substack.com/@mralpete Discord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY   Powered by The MPN Network

This week I speak with Sherrie Pilkington who enters into various aspects of life as a daughter of the One True God.  She dearly loves her 2 grown sons and 2 daughters-in-love but it's her 6 grandchildren that keep her young at heart and the sound of joy in her laugh. Known for pondering the hard things in life through the lens of God's heart, she shares her revelations through her podcast, Finding God in Our Pain. Sherrie and her guests do not shy away from the hard questions about the reality of pain and suffering and the good God we profess. After unexpectedly losing her husband in early 2018, whom she had been with for a little over 33 years, she now knows that God speaks beautiful things in the dark. Through her website (alifeofthrive.com) and her podcast she wants to let people know that they're never alone in their pain because God enters into the darkest of valleys and will gently shepherd each one through. Links:Website: https://ALifeofthrive.comFB: https://www.facebook.com/ALifeOfThriveIG: LiveLovedThrivePodcast - Finding God in Our Pain: https://findinggodinourpain.podbean.com/*Theme Music “Blessed Time” by Ketsa

In this powerful episode, Talia shares her remarkable journey from fighting vaccine mandates in California to establishing a 160-acre homestead off grid in Middle America.

In this raw and vulnerable solo episode, I share the scariest moment of my life—an unexpected and severe allergic reaction that sent me into full-blown anaphylactic shock while I was still driving. I blacked out, nearly died, and somehow, by what I believe were divine miracles, I'm still here to tell the story. This episode isn't just about what happened—it's about what that moment taught me. I open up about the profound lessons I took from this brush with death, including the deeper perspective on life it gave me and the unshakable power of gratitude, even in the middle of chaos. Whether you've faced your own life-threatening scare or just been through something heavy, my hope is that this episode gives you insight, perspective, and maybe even peace. Sometimes it takes a traumatic moment to wake us up—but we don't have to wait until it's life or death to start living fully. What You'll Hear in This Episode: The terrifying details of my allergic reaction and what happened in those critical moments The divine moments I believe saved my life The powerful shift in perspective I experienced afterward Why gratitude is essential—even (and especially) in our darkest times Lessons you might take away from your own hard or traumatic experiences If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who needs a reminder of how precious life really is.    Interested in working with a coach?

In this episode of Yin and Yancy, Yancy reflects on a powerful moment during his last fight, when an interviewer asked him, "Why do you do what you do?" This question sparked a deeper appreciation for the incredible support system he has—his family, friends, and loved ones—who allow him to pursue his passion for fighting. Despite not winning his last fight, Yancy focuses on the lessons he can take from the experience rather than dwelling on the loss. He emphasizes how important it is to not take losses home but to bring the lessons learned into his daily life, using them to fuel growth and improvement.Throughout the conversation, Yancy shares how his perspective has evolved, especially in times of adversity. He reminds himself to be grateful for what he has achieved and to stay humble, always remembering the moments when he first wanted what he now has.

My perspective is one of sharing how I'm finding light and even gratitude during a really tough season and what I've learned from this already. My hope is this will really serve a woman who really needs to hear this story. Thank you for all your support and love. Ways to connect outside of the podcast: Join our empowerHER text community!

In this episode, you'll hear the extraordinary journey of Jenni Lewis, a trailblazing leader in diversity, equity and inclusion, who turned every setback into a stepping stone. From starting her career in the mailroom at J.P. Morgan to becoming the Global Inclusion and Diversity Lead at Block, Jenni has built a career defined by bold moves, reinvention, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity.

Along the way, she learned that embracing discomfort and failing forward are the true catalysts for growth. Jenni also opens up about a life-altering wake-up call—a helicopter crashing onto her office building—that forced her to rethink her career, relationships, and purpose. Whether you're navigating a career pivot, stepping into leadership, or looking for the courage to take that next big risk, this episode will challenge and inspire you to rethink failure and see it as an essential part of success.

Gratitude isn't always easy, and it's definitely not always obvious. Life moves fast, responsibilities pile up, and before we know it, we forget the small miracles holding us up every day. In this episode of Clemenz With a Z, I reflect on a poem by James A. Pearson (The Wilderness That Bears Your Name) that reminded me to pause and see what's been there all along: the rising sun, the steady ground beneath my feet, and the strength we gain when we let ourselves be held by life's quiet gifts.

This week I speak with Hewlette Pearson who taught incarcerated persons and returning citizens general education, job readiness skills, character education, and life skills. She is the president and founder of iLove Now, Inc., a non-profit organization that promotes love through humanitarian programs and activities in inner-city communities. Two of its flagship events include: •Lunch in the Park for The Homeless—where food, hygiene products, clothing, prayer, and a listening ear are provided to those in need. •The Love Thrives Community Conference—a biennial event focusing on the spiritual and personal development of persons in communities. Hewlette's enthusiasm for empowering others to pursue purpose and authenticity is palpable. Her pursuit of excellence in teaching, motivating, and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ led her to earn master's degrees in education and divinity from Johns Hopkins University and Regent University, respectively. She also holds a Doctor of Divinity degree from Emet Theological Seminary. A gifted non-fiction writer and aspiring fiction author, Hewlette has published three impactful books:•The View from the Mountain: The Process of Destiny, foreword by Keith Duncan •The Most Important Word, with a foreword by legendary Gospel artist Andraé Crouch •Get Got! Empowerment for Every Day Life SuccessesHewlette's ministry and humanitarian efforts have taken her across the Caribbean, Africa, and the United States. She was a keynote speaker at the Pastors' Wives International Conference in Kigali, Rwanda, and a guest speaker and missions sponsor at an assembly in Kampala, Uganda, in 2023. In January 2024, she served as keynote speaker at The Mr. & Mrs. Adams Family Life Conference in West Palm, Florida, and in October 2024 was the opening keynote speaker at the 30th Year National Women's Conference of the Jamaica Council of Churches of God 7th Day. Today, Hewlette continues to travel globally, teaching and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and motivating others to practice love and goodness on earth.

This week I'm speaking with Laurie Meek Watkins who has always referred to herself as a “Cracked Pot”.  She's the Type A Lady behind the blog type a checklist. Laurie dedicates her imperfect self to helping you know a great big God who overcomes an imperfect world. (2 Corin. 4:7-9). In 2020, Laurie shifted from being “cracked” to “shattered” as her husband and companion of 40 years walked away from their marriage. For the next two years, Laurie experienced the ongoing trauma and chaos of trying to pull her marriage back together...until Godly counsel told her it was time to let go. (Matt 18:15-17) Then… Hurricane Ian took her home. God was teaching deep lessons in letting go of loss. Laurie's goal is to walk this new journey with dignity and glorify God along the way.  She searches to find purpose in her pain and to share hope with others. (Romans 8:28). You've heard it said, “ There's Good News...and then there's Bad News.”  (John 16:33). Laurie will share the Bad News, the Good News...and THEN...the GLORIOUS News: God restores shattered things. (Isaiah 61:2-4) “I am making everything new!”  (Rev. 21:5) Laurie's message for you: “Precious one.  Please remember you are loved with an everlasting love. Jesus wants you to fall fully and completely into His arms.  Jesus has already won your battle for you.  He calls you to come to Him and REST.  Let go. REST.  This road may be hard - But you are never alone when you give everything to your Savior. Ask for forgiveness. Let go of control.  YOU are Loved.  YOU have a purpose. Choose Jesus and be FREE. www.typechecklist.com*Theme Music “Blessed Time” by Ketsa

This week, I speak with Anthony Hyslop, who was born in St. Clair, Michigan in 1986, moved to northern Idaho at the age of 7 with his family, was homeschooled, took his GED, and went into concrete flatwork, working for his father, and he has been doing that for the past 19 years. During that time he married his first love, Elizabeth in 2007. They have had 7 children, Clarence, Daphne, Dakota, Kirsten, Titus, Judah, and Caleb, the latter now living with the Lord. They have 15 chickens and a black cat named Rocky. Anthony loves Jesus, occasionally hunting, looking for antlers, snorkeling, going to the lake with the kids, going to the movies with his wife, and creating new stories and writing poetry from time to time. He believes all good things come from the Lord and be a good steward of what is given to you. You can check out some of his work and poetry on Facebook: Stories by Anthony Hyslop (@ahstories).

If we're honest, we all have something to be grateful for: breath in our bodies, sun on our faces, a warm bowl of soup in our bellies, the sound of our children laughing in the other room…  And then there are the even more obvious reasons to be thankful: job promotions, new babies, wishes fulfilled. But what about the things we don't feel thankful for? Could there be any room for gratitude there? Any purpose or meaning behind the struggles we didn't hope for? I believe, from personal experience and Biblical principle, the answer is yes! Join me as I unpack this truth in Episode 86.

UY has been heard in over 90 countries, with over 150 guests sharing who they are: their wisdom, challenges, and how they continue to overcome.  Extraordinary, everyday people like you and me.  Each one of us matters.

  Can gratitude actually change the way you approach fitness? Imagine shifting your mindset from focusing on what your body can't do to appreciating what it can do. That simple shift can unlock a whole new level of motivation and consistency in your workouts. Gratitude isn't just about saying thank you—it's about grounding yourself in the present and celebrating small wins. Start by taking a few mindful breaths before your workout to center your thoughts on what you're grateful for: your body's strength, the time you've carved out for yourself, or even the progress you've made, no matter how small. Reflect on your achievements at the end of the day, focusing on what went well instead of what didn't. This abundant mindset allows you to see fitness not as a chore but as an opportunity to honor your body. By celebrating progress, not perfection, you cultivate authenticity and self-worth—two key drivers of personal growth.

It's that time of year when everyone reminds us to be grateful—but what if you're not feeling it? Despite its proven benefits, gratitude can be surprisingly challenging to practice. In this episode, Monica dives into why it's difficult for so many of us to engage with gratitude, exploring psychological factors like negativity bias, social comparisons, and stress. Savvy Psychologist is hosted by Dr. Monica Johnson.

This week, I speak with Carrie Watts, who lives in Brandon, Mississippi. Her favorite time of day is early morning, enjoying quiet moments with God's word, writing in her prayer journal, sipping on coffee, and capturing the beauty of the sunrise. Writing a book is a new adventure for Carrie, one she welcomes in the second half of her life. Although her degree is in nursing, her husband's Air Force career led them to move frequently, which allowed her to focus on raising their three boys. She enjoys volunteering at church in women's ministry and spiritual counseling. She facilitates a small group of ladies studying the Bible in her home. Carrie's passion is to help women heal and step confidently into God's purpose and plan for their lives. Her debut YA Christian fiction novel, Crisis of Faith, will be released this week. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life - You won't want to miss this encouraging episode!*Theme Music “Blessed Time” by Ketsahttp://Www.carriewatts.comhttps://a.co/d/4Dt0DxQ
