This year didn't go as planned… and that's okay.In this soft wrap-up episode of Classy & Sassy, I'm reflecting on the quiet wins, the stalled goals, and the lessons that didn't come with applause. We're talking about releasing unrealistic timelines, redefining success, and carrying a little less pressure into the new year.This episode is for anyone who showed up imperfectly, learned the hard way, and is choosing grace over grind as the year comes to a close. Soft, honest, and just a little sassy - because growth doesn't always look how we expected, but it still counts.Send us a text

Cheryl Scruggs is a Biblical Counselor, podcaster, speaker, and author of Thriving Beyond Belief and co-author of I Do, Again, with her husband Jeff Scruggs. In this episode of Sparking Wholeness, Erin shares a faith-centered, therapy-informed conversation with Biblical counselor Cheryl Scruggs about navigating unexpected seasons. Cheryl shares her personal journey of marital struggles, spiritual awakening, and eventual reconciliation, which became the basis for her book “The Thriving Beyond Belief,” exploring themes of personal growth and emotional connection. You'll learn why grief often shows up when life shifts, why rushing emotional processing can keep us stuck, and how faith invites both trust and truth in the middle of uncertainty. Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect. When plans change, it can leave us feeling disoriented, grieving, and unsure how to move forward. This episode is for anyone walking through change, disappointment, or a season that looks nothing like they imagined, and needs reassurance that thriving doesn't require bypassing pain. Key Topics: - Cheryl's personal story of divorce and reconciliation with her husband. - Emotional processing and grief during unexpected life changes - Faith and resilience when plans fall apart - Why thriving isn't about fixing circumstances - Staying grounded and regulated through uncertainty - Finding God's presence in seasons you didn't choose Website: www.jeffandcherylscruggs.com Cheryl's new book: https://jeffandcherylscruggs.com/product/tbb-book/ Podcast: Thriving Beyond Belief To follow Cheryl on Instagram, head to @cherylscruggs.

" It's interesting looking back because I normalized being hungry, normalized being super tired... and when you don't know that that's not normal, you're also not necessarily open to hearing otherwise because it sounds like somebody wants to hold you back from your performance." Justine Fédronic immigrated to the US from Europe in elementary school. Before she learned English, she found a way to connect with her classmates at recess—through running. She showed talent on the run early, and a coach suggested she try for an athletic scholarship to college. She competed at Stanford, but not without some highs and lows.  Fédronic signed a professional running contract before graduating college, but her running career before and after this point was riddled with chronic bone stress and soft tissue injuries. She struggled with underfueling, irregular periods, and constantly having to take time off.  " A lot of college and high school, I really struggled with my mental health. And there was definitely a correlation between my stress injuries and my depression," she shares.  In this conversation with Lane 9, she shares how her running story didn't go as planned, and how she's found her way back to the sport without the pressures of performance and outcomes. She has worked with some of the brands you know and love, and is now working with the nonprofit For All Mothers+.  Connect with her on Instagram @jfedronic.  If you're looking for sports nutriton and marathon fueling support for your next training cycle, and/or a coach informed in REDs and women's health, go to our Lane 9 Women's Sport and Health Directory at lane9project.org/directory.  Follow Lane 9 on IG @Lane9Project, and contact us anytime via Lane9project.org

What to do when life doesn't go as planned.

In this solo episode, Trail reflects on the unsuccessful hunts — the hunts that didn't end with a filled freezer or a grip-and-grin photo. He digs into what those experiences taught him about preparation, decision-making, patience, and what really matters in the field. From missed opportunities to hard-learned lessons, this is a real conversation about learning through failure and why sometimes the best takeaways come from the tags that stay uncut.

Most of us have a daily plan that includes a routine of productive habits. Sometimes the plan happens. And you have a few days, maybe even a week of things running smoothly. Then there is an interruption. And all of the sudden days have gone by and your plan hasn't happened at all. At the top of this list is often our habits regarding eating and exercise. In all our areas of life where we seek to develop good habits and get better results, there is new information that the areas of diet and exercise don't work like the others and are the areas we most fail, because, life happens. This new information is brought to us by Dr Michelle Segar who sat down with a couple of years ago. Michelle takes our cultural concept of habits to task. We're going to talk about her groundbreaking, decision-making framework—and the science behind it—to give hope to the millions of what she calls, “unhabiters,” who are frustrated with their failure to keep up all the good habits they intend to engage with, and discuss a behavior-change solution designed for them. We are enamored with creating habits in our lives that will give us the success we want, but what you're about to find out is the normal framework and perspective of habits we have doesn't work for…a lot of us. But there is a solution that will, and it's why I have Michelle on the show. Michelle is an award-winning, National Institute of Health funded sustainable behavior change researcher at the University of Michigan and a lifestyle coach. For nearly three decades, she has pioneered methods to create sustainable healthy behavior changes that are being used to boost patient health, employee well-being, and even gym membership retention.

In this heartfelt year-end reflection, Lucy reminds listeners that even when it feels like they didn't achieve much, quiet growth and inner transformation still count as powerful progress. She encourages embracing gratitude, grace, and self-compassion while redefining what success truly means before stepping into a new year. Key Takeaways: Growth isn't always loud, even slow, quiet seasons hold valuable lessons. Confidence is built in the stillness, not just in achievements or recognition. Redefine success by honoring who you're becoming, not just what you've accomplished. Gratitude turns every experience, even detours, into part of your journey forward.

Did your motherhood story turn out the way you hoped? Even if it didn't, God is still writing something beautiful. Motherhood is both messy and miraculous. Even the president of MOPS faced heartbreak in motherhood. When Elisa Morgan led MOPS, she encouraged millions of moms — but behind the scenes, her own motherhood journey was far from perfect. In this candid conversation, Elisa shares the struggles and blessings of parenting, how she found God's faithfulness in the hard seasons, and why she believes mentoring younger women is one of the most powerful ways to build strong homes of faith, especially when motherhood doesn't look the way you expected. If you've ever felt like you're not enough as a mom, this conversation will remind you that God is present in every part of your story. Whether you're a new mom or an empty nester, hope and healing are always possible.

For they may say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.' ” And the LORD asked him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied. “Throw it on the ground,” said the LORD. So Moses threw it on the ground, and it became a snake, and he ran from it. “Stretch out your hand and grab it by the tail,” the LORD said to Moses, who reached out his hand and caught the snake, and it turned back into a staff in his hand. “This is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.”   Romans 5:5 – “And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”    Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”   

In this heartfelt episode of Coffee with K, we dive deep into the emotional journey of infertility, fostering, and the unexpected joys of motherhood. My guest, Gloria, vulnerably shares her story—walking through infertility treatments, opening her home to foster children, and ultimately experiencing the miracle of pregnancy after surrendering her plans to God.This conversation is a beautiful reminder that:Motherhood is a privilege, not a guarantee.Faith and surrender can carry us through seasons of waiting.Support from family and friends is vital in the hardest times.Open communication and trust in God's timing make all the difference for couples navigating family planning.If you've ever wrestled with expectations of motherhood—or wondered how faith can transform the journey—this episode will speak deeply to your heart.

In this practice episode, Jennifer England invites you into the courageous act of consenting to be undone.Drawing on her recent conversation with cultural worker and author Stephen Jenkinson (Matrimony: Ritual, Culture and the Heart's Work), Jennifer reflects on how, in a world filled with urgency, grief, and collapsing certainties, true participation requires both patrimony (our inheritance of grief, beauty, and obligation) and matrimony (a ritualized consent with the unseen).From this larger vision, Jennifer distills a simple yet powerful practice:Notice when things don't go as planned — a delay, an interruption, a conflict.Pause and soften your body's resistance.Ask: What might open if I allow this moment to undo me, just a little?This practice offers a counterweight to urgency and the need to fix. It nurtures intimacy with the unknown, and a deeper participation in what is always remaking itself.

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! Recently I did a driveway project and I had bid plans for how this thing was going to go. I had it all planned out. I had the time of everything perfect in my mind and everything was going to run on schedule includng the delivery of 27 yards of crushed limestone. The only problem was that nothing went to plan. It was 104 degrees out side. My geo textile fabric got wrapped around my power rake drum, twice, and the limestone that I scheduled for 3 pm came at 12:30. This project did not go as planned.  **Please give the podcast a 5 star rating and review in Apple Podcasts.** Give Me Your Feedback: http://www.linktr.ee/lansinglawnservice     GREEN FROG WEB DESIGN SPECIFICALLY FOR LAWN CARE *Your First Month is ONLY $1.00* https://greenfrogwebdesign.com/ Buy Me A Coffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/mowinginthedark    Michigan Maple Coffee: https://amzn.to/4eQZzSR Check out my business websites: www.lansinglawnservice.com www.gravelblasters.com , www.sutterbrotherslawncare.com   Check out My Favorite Lawn Care Gear: Werner, AC78, Quickclick Stabilizer, Aluminum https://amzn.to/2OTOfMf Wonder Grip WG318L Liquid-Proof Double-Coated/Dipped Natural Latex Rubber Work Gloves 13-Gauge Seamless Nylon, Large, Large https://amzn.to/2Ytjml6 Hodenn Zero Turn Lawn Mower Hitch - Fits Ariens & Gravely ZT-X: https://amzn.to/3jJmEua ECHO Black Diamond Trimmer Line: https://amzn.to/2GBEL7d

Episode 68: Hello, my loves!

Episode Summary: In this honest and reflective episode, Molly shares her personal journey with More Dry July and what it really means when your outcome doesn't match your original goal. She walks through her mindset shift from chasing perfection to reinforcing identity, and how 21 alcohol-free days—rather than the planned 24—still powerfully reflect the systems she's built as an Alcohol Minimalist.Drawing from James Clear's Atomic Habits and Elizabeth Benton's Chasing Cupcakes, Molly explores how honest tracking, identity-based change, and keystone habits can keep you aligned even when things don't go perfectly. She also shares a powerful metaphor that reframes each alcohol-free day as a building block in the foundation of a peaceful relationship with alcohol.Whether your July was a success by the numbers or felt a little off-track, this episode will remind you that your next decision matters far more than your last one—and that progress is always possible when you stay connected to who you are becoming.In this episode, you'll learn:Why prioritizing alcohol-free days matters more than perfectionHow “alcohol-free-ish” thinking can undermine honest accountabilityThe difference between tracking outcomes vs. living your identityWhat it means to own your behavior without excuses or shameWhy each AF day is like stacking a brick in your foundationResources and Links:Atomic Habits by James Clear: https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habitsChasing Cupcakes by Elizabeth Benton: https://amzn.to/3KXh2xQStart your Sunnyside trial: https://www.sunnyside.co/mollyWork with Molly or learn more: https://www.mollywatts.comQuote of the Week: "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." – James ClearLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

William Holsten went from corporate marketer to carnival game inventor—then turned failure into a business-saving framework that's helping founders avoid costly mistakes. What started as a fun idea to support a charity carnival became Pitch Burst, a hit water balloon game that gained national attention. But behind the scenes, poor materials, refund requests, and engineering missteps nearly tanked the business. Rather than quit, William went back to the drawing board—and created a smarter way to build and scale. He turned hard-won lessons into a repeatable system: one that's now captured in his book Uh-Oh: Avoiding Dumb Mistakes in Business, and shared with founders across the country through his work as a SCORE mentor. In this honest, tactical episode, William shares: The product launch mistake that wiped out his capital His 5-part decision tree for what to do when things go wrong Why most “testing” isn't nearly enough How he sold his patent and walked away whole The power of pre-mortems, quitting coaches, and self-assessments Why optimism can blind entrepreneurs to early warning signs The one question from his son that changed everything Key Lessons: Test Like It's Life or Death – Real-world stress testing beats optimism every time Decide Smarter – Use William's five paths to respond to failure: fix, pivot, quit, accept, or ignore (spoiler: never ignore) Learn Before You Leap – Pre-mortems and customer journey maps help avoid “uh-oh” moments before they happen Get Out With Grace – Even struggling businesses can sell—if you structure the deal right Mentorship Is Free—Use It – The smartest founders ask for help early and often Host: Tyler Martin, Think Business Podcast Want to build a business that avoids dumb mistakes? Let's talk:

Sometimes you just have to go with it.

This episode is a reminder that even when things don't go exactly to plan — like when it rains for days and keeps you out of the saddle — there's still progress to be made. Join me as I share what I've been working on despite the weather and why focusing on what you can do matters more than chasing perfection. In this episode, I'm also introducing two new mentorship formats we'll be offering this fall—one focused on building confidence in horse and rider, and another designed to help rope horses lay a better foundation. If you're navigating a season that feels a little off-track, I hope this episode encourages you to keep showing up and building forward.
