“I see in books,” says today's guest. “Every book is, at its heart, an argument for something—for a belief, a way of life, a vision of the future, a way to solve a problem, a way to make a friend, a way to lose your soul. The point is what the entire story drives to. It's the thing your reader will come away from your book feeling.” That's just one gem from today's guest, Jennie Nash, book coach and author of a blueprint series on how to approach your writing. Jennie and I discuss the tumult happening in hybrid and traditional publishing outfits; risks inherent in the publishing process; red flags to watch out for in selecting partners; determining the right genre for your work (i.e. nonfiction, fiction, memoir), how to “make room for the reader,” and what it means to write for the marketplace. More About Jennie: Jennie Nash is the founder and CEO of Author Accelerator, a company on a mission to lead the emerging book coaching industry. Author Accelerator has certified more than 160 book coaches in both fiction and nonfiction. Jennie's own book coaching clients have landed top New York agents and six-figure book deals with Big 5 houses such as Penguin, Scribner, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette, and won dozens of national indie book awards. Jennie is the author of 12 books in 3 genres, including Blueprint for a Nonfiction Book: Plan and Pitch Your Big Idea and the forthcoming Blueprint for a Memoir: How to Write a Memoir for the Marketplace.

Happy Fourth of July!This week we have Nicole Zasowski on The Christian Parenting Podcast and we are talking all about celebration in our families and our parenting. Nicole is a mom of three, a licensed marriage and family therapist, and author of the books From Lost to Found and What if it's Wonderful?We so often tie celebration and joy to accomplishment or milestones. But what if that is not the way it is supposed to be? Nicole challenges our typical idea of celebration and helps us understand it as a discipline, which is actually really liberating, especially as a mom.One thing we touch on is how and when to celebrate our kids. I'm working on this in my own home – I'm trying to be intentional to encourage my kids in a way that will build them up for who God made them to be, not what they accomplish. It can be hard to do because we naturally want to emphasize the amazing things that our kids do! And that's good, we should, but Nicole gives us some great examples of helpful things we can say to our kids to celebrate them for who they are.As a bonus for our listeners, Nicole created an adorable handout of 8 prompts to use to celebrate personhood over performance!

  We're exploding back on the scene with our most explosive debut where half the narrative revolves around explosions as explosions try to outdo other explosions in J. J. Abrams explosive debut Mission Impossible Three (2006). Its hard to imagine a film this large is a debut, but it set the tone for the rest of the franchise that continues to this day. From Lost, to getting lost in Lost, to wondering what exactly actually happened in Lost, JJ made a huge jump into mainstream filmmaking with MI3 and continued the trend into Star Wars. Stay tuned for Tom Cruise dressed as a nun doing questionable Italian accents and Benas Serrano Ham angle that made little to no sense. Enjoy.

What if it's wonderful? Do you struggle to rejoice with those who rejoice, especially when you're mourning or dealing with loss? Does it seem hard or scary to celebrate at times? Many of us have felt that—myself included. That's why I wanted to chat with therapist and author Nicole Zasowski about her newest book and how she learned to ask this question which changed the way she interacted within community and in her own relationship with God. Nicole is no stranger to loss (including miscarriage) and she's faced unexpected changes that felt heavy. These experiences led her to learn and then share how celebration is different than escapism, and how happiness isn't an ungodly pursuit.

We try-hard girls are notorious for sacrificing our emotions on the altar of performance and productivity. We don't have to look very far to see examples of powering through and soldiering on in order to get the job done. Try-hard girls have an inexplicable need to be perceived as strong. Showing any feeling seems to signal weakness in our armor, leaving us feeling vulnerable.  Vulnerability is to be avoided at all costs. Yet we know this isn't right: that our relationships and hearts are paying the price of our avoidance. But we don't know how to NOT carry on. Here to offer us hope and help is today's guest Nicole Zasowski.

What if hope only leads to disappointment? If this question has ever crossed your mind, today's episode is for you, friend! My new friend, Nicole Zasowski, is on the show today and, let me tell you, she is a breath of fresh air. She shares her perspective with us on toxic positivity, celebration, and hope. And she's a therapist, so her perspective is particularly welcome today! Nicole and I take a deep dive into why we are afraid to feel joy and what we can do about it.  For so many of us, we skip our celebrations as a way to avoid touching someone else's pain. We also talk about her latest book, What If It's Wonderful?, and the importance of everyday celebrations.  I'm so inspired by Nicole's insights and honesty about our hesitations and the way she illuminates a path to less fear and more happiness. Our conversation reminds us how God wants us to be joyful and happy.  Nicole is a mom, wife, licensed marriage therapist, and From Lost to Found author. She enjoys writing and speaking on topics that merge her professional knowledge, faith, and personal experience. Listen in to learn more about:  Toxic positivity and how it impacts us Foreboding joy and how joy can be vulnerable Practical ways we can celebrate in our everyday lives and why we should.    Favorite quotes: Joy is not off limits to us in pain and what it does is that it trusts what's possible with God in the midst of pain. Joy and celebration have to be avenues of not only experiencing God's presence, but learning and growing too, even in the midst of pain. Savoring celebrates the ordinary.  Thanksgiving is the expression of that gratitude and the way of sharing it and is a way of celebrating the gift with the Giver. A celebratory life is making a beautiful life with God right where you are not the perfect circumstances. We have somehow made happiness the hedonist version of joy.   Great things we discussed:  Fear - Ben Rector song Yellowstone TV show 1883 TV show The Way of the Heart - Book The Personal Librarian - Book Eucalyptus shower steamers Tezza app NYT cooking app Nicole Zasowski's website The Chosen - TV show Speak to the Mountains song - Chris McClarney Enjoy Life foods Confident Motherhood Facebook Group Join the Confident Motherhood Community here.

Show Notes: Does celebration come naturally for you? For many people, the fear of hope turned to disappointment or the sensitivity to others' pain can often hinder them from fully embracing celebration. Therapist and author, Nicole Zasowski, shares her personal experience of grief and tragedy, which kept her from pursuing celebration and seeking joy; however, after exploring God's Word and in-depth research, she discovered that not only is it possible to celebrate, it's essential to the Christian life. We unpack some of the fascinating topics of her new book “What If It's Wonderful?” Tune in as Nicole discusses how to stay emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in seasons of joy and celebration.

Nicole Zasowski is a licensed marriage and family therapist, author, and speaker. Back in Episode 36, I had the privilege of speaking with Nicole about her first book, From Lost to Found. In that book, Nicole shares how her journey of multiple miscarriages and crippling anxiety gave her empty hands to experience God in new ways. In her new book, entitled, What If It's Wonderful? Nicole invites readers to trust joy and find the courage to celebrate when we have endured seasons of disappointment and despair. In this conversation, Nicole invites us to open our hearts and minds to joy and celebration in authentic and grounding ways. She also makes a psychological and spiritual case for the importance of embracing joy and celebration, even when it feels scary, and discusses tangible practices to help us move from worry and “what ifs” to embracing the vibrancy of the present moment. So, whether your struggle with worry or perhaps find yourself in a season of disappointment, may Nicole's words fuel the flame of courage within you; the courage to engage the goodness of the present moment and look toward the future with hope and imagination.

#131 - From Lost to Uncaged with Andrea Stephens After 10 years of asking women how they feel, she heard over and over these words. Invisibe, sad, lost, wanted more, wished it was diferent which led her to realize that she needed to help. At the time she was living in a religiously strick community and always felt "trapped", but had been secretly studying neuroscience and knew there were answers. She attended an event where she met Ashley (see episode #109) who helped her to realize that she could put it all into a book that would take people on a journey. She took the studying she had been doing and the knowing what these women were feeling and wrapped it all up in a pretty bow in her book; UNCAGED. Uncaged is the riveting, provocative tale of a young woman's struggle to free herself from the cage of her own mind, awaken her potential, and finally live the life she desires.

MARRIAGE SERIES PART TWO   As a marriage and family counselor, Nicole Zasowski spent her days helping others walk through difficult seasons in their home life. But after two consecutive miscarriages, Nicole and her husband received news from a doctor that no one wants to hear. It would be incredibly difficult for Nicole to have a child, and every attempt would come with a large risk of walking through the pain of miscarriage yet again. Thrown headlong into a valley of her own, Nicole found herself having to learn in her life what she already taught to others. Nicole sits down with Davey to share her story of how God met her in her trial, and how she's continuing to help others find the same healing that she has.   Episode Resources: Visit Nicole's Website Follow Nicole on Instagram and Facebook Purchase Nicole's book, From Lost to Found: Giving Up What You Think You Want for What Will Set You Free This podcast is sponsored by Faithful Counseling

Chris Carter grew up the son of missionaries in Kenya, Africa. He moved to the United States to study, climb, learn. In 2018 Chris took the physical and spiritual challenge of hiking the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail in the western USA. The film he created grabbed me from the first sounds of a camp stove lighting up. I welcome Chris to The Happiness Quotient to discuss the journey, about the friendships formed, and about the process of creating this incredibly moving and powerful film called To Measure a Mile. I love the film and you will love it, as well. Excerpts from the film will weave together with the interview done with Chris from his home in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Nicole Zasowski is a licensed marriage and family therapist, writer, and speaker. She is also the author of From Lost to Found: Giving Up What You Think You Want for What Will Set You Free. In her book, Nicole reveals her own story of how challenges such as unwanted transition, multiple miscarriages, and crippling anxiety gave way to a deepened faith and connection with Jesus. In addition to maintaining a private therapy practice, her professional work includes leading marriage intensives at The Hideaway Experience in Atlanta, GA, facilitating support and enrichment groups at several local churches in the greater New York City area, and serving as an adjunct professor at Alliance Theological Seminary. Nicole lives with her husband, Jimmy and their two sons, in a small town just outside New York City. My time with Nicole was such an encouragement to me. She reminded me of truths that resonate so deeply but that I often forget. In short, Nicole’s message invites us to discover how the surprising path to healing begins when we let go of what we have known, and swerve right into God’s transforming grace, where we find what we need.

Can giving up what you think you want actually set you free? From Lost to Found (W Publishing, Thomas Nelson) author Nicole Zasowski is on the show today sharing about how through a great season of transition, loss, and pain, she discovered that only empty hands are truly open to receiving transformative grace, and that the beauty of being lost lies in the joy of being found.

“We don’t pray because it guarantees a certain outcome. We pray because it ushers us into the presence of God.” –Nicole Zasowski In this episode, Heather Lobe Johnson and Nicole Zasowski discuss: The space between what we thought would be and what actually will be Identifying the wounds of our pasts and the ways we try to protect ourselves; restoring love and trust in relationships (including with ourselves) Nicole’s struggle with loss and infertility How the outcomes of our prayers often look different than what we hope, but how God also knows what we truly need The book of Lamentations as a permission-giver to express our grief Letting ourselves hope again after disappointment And this: no matter how beautiful the gifts are that we long for, our hope is ultimately in the giver and not in the gift itself Nicole Zasowski is a licensed marriage and family therapist and author of From Lost to Found: Giving up what you think you want for what will set you free.

Today I am chatting with the absolutely wonderful Nicole Zasowski. Nicole is a family and marriage therapist who wrote a book this year called From Lost to Found: Giving Up What You Think You Want for What Will Set You Free. In her book, she shares about her struggle with perfectionism, and living a performance based life, and it's all on my shoulders faith and entered a season of loss and change that stripped her of the empty things she had placed her hope in.   Nicole specifically struggled with the incredibly hard road of multiple miscarriages and infertility before experiencing the miracle births of her two boys, and she candidly shares about that unique grief experience and how the Lord met her in it.    From Lost to Found, as well as this conversation, is a message of hope that redemption is possible even if it feels like everything is ruined. As I prayed about where this conversation should fall in this season, even before Nicole and I talked, I just felt so clearly that the Lord wanted our conversation to fall this week following the Election in the U.S. This episode is an attempt to lay a balm on weary souls as we move forward no matter what happens next.  Nicole and I have both known unique, but soul crushing grief and loss. We know that the weight of brokenness can be so stifling, but we also know that our Creator stepped down from Heaven and took on skin, and died and rose again so that we would NEVER have to be alone in our grief ever again, and that we would have a Hope that cannot be taken. No matter where this finds you today, this is not how the story ends. I hope you can feel encouraged today, friend.

This week on Real Talk with Rachael, we’re talking with author Nicole Zasowski about her book “From Lost to Found: Giving Up What You Think You Want for What Will Set You Free”. Nicole Zasowski is a licensed marriage and family therapist, writer, and speaker. As an old soul who wears her heart proudly on her sleeve, Nicole loves using her words to help others find an enduring peace and joy outside of circumstance. She lives in a small town just outside New York City with her husband, Jimmy, and her son, James. We’re talking about: Recognizing the warning signs of when you feel your sense of identity or safety has been violated is important. Watch for feelings of anxiety or withdrawing behavior. Nicole believes that good therapy is the “one-two” punch of treatment and practice. Self-control might get you a day or two of feeling better, but it’s only a temporary treatment. You don’t have to believe the good things about yourself are true before you start telling yourself the good things. Even if you don’t feel it, you should still lift yourself up. Don’t feel like it’s more important to have people clap for you rather than connect with you. Empty hands are open to receive. There’s no rest when your identity is in your performance. Praise your children’s personhood as much as their performance. Don’t forget to text the phrase “RealTalkGiveaway” to the number 44222 to be entered to win giveaways from show guests and sponsors!

Over the course of two decades, TV as a medium has evolved a tremendous amount. With the advent of "Peak TV," quality programming is around every corner. This week, we're taking a look at the past twenty years, exploring individual episodes of television that we think have had the most impact. From Lost to Battlestar Galactica, from Doctor Who to Bojack Horseman, we're counting down some of our favorites.

Nicole Zasowski is here with us today! She is a licensed marriage and family therapist and the author of the incredible book From Lost to Found: Giving Up What You Think You Want For What Will Set You Free. She speaks to us on such a heart centered level. She’s kind, compassionate, open, and really models transformation for us—sharing her path to her true self and what that looked like for her. She opens up about her pain and triumphs in her book and in this interview. Today you’ll learn a bit about her book and her powerful personal journey into motherhood…she even shares ideas with us about how to be genuinely supportive when a friend is experiencing loss through miscarriage. Something that I wish we talked more openly about in general as a society…I’m just so grateful she’s here with us to get those conversations started in a really loving way. Nicole is an old soul who wears her heart proudly on her sleeve, she enjoys writing and speaking on topics that merge her professional knowledge and personal experience. She lives in Connecticut with her husband and two young boys. Thanks for being here for this conversation. I hope it leaves you feeling as supported and resourced as I did by the end of it. Nicole Zasowski is awesome.

My conversation this week could not have come at a better time. I want to continue to bring encouraging and inspiring content to you during these unprecedented times. We are meant to live in community, and while we are social distancing right now, it can feel strange as many of us are wondering how we will communicate with our friends, family, and coworkers in new ways. If you’re married, your marriage could feel strained because you and your spouse are in closer proximity with each other all the time. It’s important to be focusing on those relationships and what matters most while we’re navigating this new and uncharted way of staying connected. My guest this week is Nicole Zasowski, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, writer, and speaker. She lives in a small town just outside New York City with her husband Jimmy and her two sons. With the vulnerability of your closest friends, and the wisdom of your most trusted resource, Nicole reveals her own story of how challenges such as unwanted transition, multiple miscarriages, and crippling anxiety gave her empty hands to receive everything she had been looking for in the presence and person of Jesus Christ. She’s also the author of the new book, From Lost to Found: Giving Up What You Think You Want for What Will Set You Free. I loved this conversation and listening back to it over the last week or so has really ministered to my heart, and I know it will to you too. 5:36 - The Nicole 101 Nicole is a Marriage and Family Therapist who has a private practice in Connecticut, and is also on staff with an organization called The Hideaway Experience, a marriage intensive that works with four to five couples for four days. Nicole just published her first book, From Lost to Found, that weaves her personal story with her professional therapy experience and faith journey. It wasn’t until she started writing the book that she realized she’d been missing out on the freedom she helped her clients find. Nicole specializes in working with couples and sees individual clients of all ages. She is careful to hear their stories in the context of the family people grew up in or the systems they’re a part of currently. She studied abroad her entire sophomore year of college, living with 50 other college students and a faculty family from her school in one house. The experience fostered many unique conversations with young people asking, “Who am I?”, and “What is my purpose in life?”  Nicole has always enjoyed one-on-one, deep conversations with people and her classmates turned to her as “the house therapist.” She became someone whom many classmates trusted with their struggles. The faculty member who went with the students happened to be the head of the psychology department at Nicole’s college. She took Nicole out for coffee at the end of the year and asked Nicole “Are you sure you don’t want to be a therapist?” It became clear to Nicole right away that it was exactly what she wanted to do. After that, Nicole changed all her courses and went straight into a graduate program in Marriage and Family Therapy after completing her undergraduate degree.  Nicole admits that therapy is a challenging fit for her personality type. She struggles with performance and wants to know that she can conquer a given task. But often therapy is messy, often with no clear-cut answers. That’s what tethers her to the hope of Christ and His strength. 12:03 – Counseling, Transitions, and Maintenance Nicole and her husband experienced a big transition when they moved from California to Connecticut, where Nicole built a successful private practice. For her own marriage, Nicole’s attitude is that everyone is learning and growing. While she’s learned a lot in school and through her clients, it’s an entirely different thing to apply those lessons to her own relationships. She recognizes that as soon as she loses touch with the fact that she needs to learn and grow too is when she’s in trouble. Nicole’s husband is familiar with the model of therapy she uses, called Restoration Therapy, and they work on their relationship together; they use the same model Nicole uses for her clients. Many people view therapy as something to start when things are hard. The more we can de-stigmatize counseling and marriage counseling, the more people will realize that grief is much more manageable when it’s something we add to our lives as a regular habit. For many, starting counseling feels like admitting that there’s a problem, but that doesn’t have to be the case. It helps anyone in any type of relationship navigate communication so that you’re not suddenly blindsided by a problem in your most important relationships or in your own personal growth. 22:51 – The Tapestry from Loss In her book, Nicole shares about a season of life where she experienced much change and loss, including having five miscarriages. She believes wholeheartedly that God is not the author of our suffering but loves us too much to waste our suffering. Nicole was left empty-handed from her experience, and it took idols away that she’d relied on for too long to feel safe and secure. It was very painful, losing five precious babies, being unsure of where her identity came from and what would make her feel safe. She learned that “only empty hands are open.” Nicole’s open hands were ready to receive a totally different picture of who God really is. It allowed for a deeper intimacy between Nicole and God that has transformed loss and change into different and new blessings. It isn’t calling tragedy good. The Bible makes a clear distinction between something good and something being worked for good. God does not want to punish us with suffering. Our world is broken, and God’s word says we will have trouble. He also says He’s overcome that trouble. Our hope is not in what God can do for us but in us; that he will not waste any of it, but use it to bring us closer to Him. We have a choice to run away from God or draw close to Him. We all have different ways of running, and Nicole’s was to perform for God. She thought she could show Him that she’d learned her lesson, but that is exactly what kept her from being honest with God and asking Him what He had for her in her pain. God wants us to invite Him into our feelings and the places we’ve been taught to keep closed off. Through our pain, we can get to know God’s character. The Bible lets us see the ways Jesus grieved during his time on Earth, even when He knew the reason for it, or that the outcome would eventually be victorious. God came into our full human experience and gave us the gift of being allowed to grieve. We see in Jesus’ moments of grief that He turns to God. Even when Jesus knew he’d bring Lazarus back from death, He still paused to grieve the pain of loss. The way of empathy for others is not bearing the responsibility of fixing their grief, but rather sitting with them while they experience it. 43:25 - Getting to Know Our Guest Learn some funny and interesting things about Nicole like what part of a kid’s movie has completely scarred her, what one thing she’d do differently if she knew no one would judge her, and something we’d never guess about her.

I’m not sitting here with perfection and nothing to work on myself. We are all in this journey together, and if I can use what I’ve learned through my training and my work with couples to help you along, just know that I need that too in my own life.” 24:26 – “What He did through a season of a log of change and a lot of loss in my life, was took my hands off of false securities that were promising way more than they could deliver but had always ‘worked’ for me in terms of feeling valued and safe.” 25:45 - “Would I have preferred to carry on with my comfortable way of living in my false and small idea of who God was and with the relationship I had with Him at the time? I thought was really good, but what I know now is so much more of His character, and there’s such a deeper intimacy between the two of us, and that has been the biggest gift to me.”

Have you ever lost something you really wanted? Most of us have experienced not getting what we thought we wanted at some point in our lives. I know I have. And if you can relate, this episode is for you.  My friend Nicole Zasowski, author of From Lost to Found, joins me on the podcast today and walks us through her story with pain and loss that taught her that sometimes God's rescue looks like prying our fingers off what we think we want so that we can receive what we truly need.    NICOLE'S LOVING, LISTENING TO, OR READING:  The Dutch House by Ann Patchett Discerning the Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer   Shop Nicole's Multi-Disc Necklace (hers is stamped with her boys' initials).   Follow Nicole on Instagram @nicolezasowski nicolezasowski.com/ Get Nicole's book From Lost to Found HERE.    SHOP PS46 JEWELRY HERE.

I welcome my friend Nicole Zasowski back to the table. She first joined me back on episode 161. If you haven’t listened to that one, I highly recommend it especially if you have walked through any type of change or loss that was really hard. Nicole is a Marriage and Family Therapist and recently published a book called From Lost to Found: Giving Up What You Think You Want For What Will Set You Free and it is a beautiful and helpful book. For this episode, I pulled out a chapter in her book on relationships and talk about how to be a good partner by moving away from a dependent or independent stance to one of interdependence. We talk about how we are responsible for being loving in our relationships but not responsible for making someone feel loved. And we spend some time unpacking what it looks like to self-regulate the emotions you feel in a relationship and how to figure out what your best self looks like so that you can show up as that person.

When you walk into a room, or you're making new friends, do you ever feel like you have to lead with telling others about your achievements? Because maybe you're questioning - ‘why would this person like me if they don't know what I've accomplished, who I know, or what I have to offer?'  If this sounds like you, and you're tired of outdoing your last accomplishment, this episode will feel like an extra dose of healing power to your overachieving heart.  In today's episode, Mary is chatting with author, speaker and licensed marriage and family therapist, Nicole Zasowski. The two ladies are covering all the hard hitters from only feeling relevant to the extent of what you can offer to what is left once the accomplishments are off the table. You'll walk away with tangible steps to overcome perfectionism, letting go of other people's perceptions of you, and begin settling into exactly who you are - even without the achievements. Remember, your worth is not on the far side of your dreams and goals achieved. You are enough right now. Today. Just as you are.

Have you lost something that you were counting on?

Family and marriage therapist and author of “From Lost to Found,” Nicole Zasowski, walks us through her heart transparently when her life seemed to be far from her expectations. We talk all about choosing “I’m a victor” instead of the “woe is me,” going through it instead of “getting through it,” and grieving while still knowing the goodness of God.
