In this episode of It's Not About the Money, we're joined by Bernie Anderson—missions leader, podcast host, business consultant, and certified Growability coach. Bernie helps us reframe our ideas around sales and fundraising, showing how sales, when done with integrity and generosity, can become a transformative experience for both the giver and the receiver.We talk about why fundraising isn't a transaction but a transformation, why great fundraisers are great listeners, and how donor alignment is better than manipulation. Bernie shares wisdom on identifying donor personalities, avoiding burnout through authenticity, and how storytelling—done honestly—can drive partnership fruit.If you've ever felt awkward "making the ask" or have been burned by manipulative sales tactics, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. Bernie reminds us that fundraising is discipleship, that rejection isn't failure, and that there's no such thing as “sacred vs. secular” when you're doing Kingdom work.

The final wrap-up to this series - what is your intention for your relationships? This is the second series on the Mama Says Namaste Podcast with my most favorite guest (and partner for life), Nathan Logsdon.  In this series, we dig deep into the critical components that create a healthy and happy intimate relationship - join us as we discuss Laughter, Humble Pie, and Lots of Sex!   They say love is the best investment.  The more you give, the more you get in return.  Audrey Hepburn   In our summary podcast, here are all the things we’ve dug into in this season: Communication is such an important foundation - being able to have an honest conversation with your partner and not simply walk on eggshells. How to navigate disagreements - you cannot hide tension in your home - that energy will permeate and create a heavy cloud in your home.  Here is my mother’s book - for insights into my own childhood as well as the foundation of peace we have carried in to our own home: Creating a Haven of Peace: When You're Feeling Down, Finances Are Flat, and Tempers are Rising (http://amzn.to/2vGN9GR) Respect and teamwork - we are a united front - what is your ultimate goal? Growability - say “I’m sorry” and take ownership/responsibility for your part.  Ask “What am I missing?  How can I make this better?” Be a lifelong learner - there is always something more to learn about and discover with one another - if you are both growing and changing every day, there is always something new to talk about and explore. Laughter and play - take time to reset.  Step away and have fun.  Allow for laughter and happiness just in the present moment. Time management - set clear boundaries and be intentional about what you want to focus on.  Vocalize your priorities and commit to making them happen. Sexual intimacy - what is your love language?  How are you connecting and spending focused time investing in one another?  Are you speaking in a way that resonates with them, or simply you?   What do you want this life to be? Challenge - just reach out and connect.  Go back to the basics.  Find your main focus to get you started.  Remember love.    And remember, if you’re liking what you hear, we want to hear from you!  Subscribe, rate and review on iTunes Post your comments/questions in the Mama Says Namaste Facebook Community Email Ashley directly at ashley@MamaSaysNamaste.com   *Podcast music by the awesome Renee & Jeremy who cover "Put a Little Love In Your Heart" by Jackie DeShannon.  Props to both of them for this beautiful rendition that epitomizes what I want for families!

This is the second series on the Mama Says Namaste Podcast with my most favorite guest (and partner for life), Nathan Logsdon.  In this series, we dig deep into the critical components that create a healthy and happy intimate relationship - join us as we discuss Laughter, Humble Pie, and Lots of Sex!   Congrats!  We are in the double digits!  You are listening to Season 2, Episode 10, and we’re diving deep into relationships with the topic of Laughter, Humble Pie & Lots of Sex.  Joining me in this series is my fabulous husband of thirteen years, Nathan.  This week we’re diving into that wonderful little element of ourselves that can stand in the way of a close and supportive relationship - pride and ego. Before we get started, I have to say that, as a full-time RVing family, people always want to know where we are in the country and the latest happenings.  Well, we’ve hit 29 states so far, and are taking on the northeast now. If you hop over to the Mama Says Namaste Facebook group, you’ll see my daughter Clara listing all the places we’ve been.  Just this past week we’ve been in Maryland visiting Washington DC, Delaware, where we took a road trip to see the wild horses on Assateague Island National Seashore, and now New Jersey. Our rule is, in order to put our state sticker on our map, we have to stay overnight in the state - out West we could spend a week in one place and never leave the state.  Here in the East the girls are even more confused with where we are, as we hop from Delaware to Maryland and back to PA…  Yet we’re staying consistent with at least spending the night at each place! “Growability” is a Powerful Thing We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known.  - Brené Brown It may sound trite, but there are two parts to humility – admitting when you are wrong, and admitting when you are hurt.  Don’t be a brick wall.  Don’t deny the negative feelings any more than you do the positive.  Humble yourself to learn something.  Be vulnerable.  It’s amazing what it does for opening up the lines of communication and trust in a relationship. “You are always a genius…today.” Nathan Logsdon “The last thing we need in the midst of our struggle is shame for being human” - Brené Brown “The best life raft is humility.” - Nathan Logsdon Read this week’s post, Tension Points That Cause Couples To Argue (www.mamasaysnamaste.com/argue/) A good dose of humble pie makes for a healthy relationship.  Make sure you never let your ego take precedence over your connection with others.  We have the ability to learn so much – to be a better person, by being open to learn from those moments of disconnect and embracing the opportunity to learn to love better instead of having our ego shut it down. What sticky spots of communication have doled you out some “humble pie”?
