Spiritual growth isn't a solo journey. Growing Together explores the vital role of community and accountability in strengthening our faith. Join us as we unpack the importance of sharing our struggles openly, supporting one another, and holding each other accountable to our commitments. We're discovering how vulnerability within a supportive fellowship can deepen our roots and help us persevere through challenges. Today we're discussing the power of shared vulnerability and how it fosters genuine connection and spiritual growth.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWz0k2wmchA&list=PLRE-9ljZfVuUYFy4_G-X3OLol5pWnyqs2&index=57

What if motherhood isn't a detour from your purpose—but the very thing that activates it? Today I'm joined by the incredible Carson Meyer: birth doula, founder of C & The Moon, and now the author of the beautiful new book Growing Together. Carson and I dive into the real, unfiltered experience of navigating motherhood and business, especially in those early postpartum days when everything changes. From her own story of being approached to write a book just one week before giving birth (yes, really!) to what we both believe about how pregnancy is a portal for profound creativity, we go there. Tune in to hear: How Carson's own birth story (as a baby!) sparked her lifelong passion for birth work The unconscious imprinting we carry into our own pregnancies and businesses Why rest doesn't mean disengaging from creativity or ambition What Chinese tradition teaches us about the first 100 days postpartum Why some of your biggest opportunities might arrive right when you're giving birth A powerful reframe on whether you need to “pause” your business in motherhood What Carson wants every pregnant entrepreneur to hear before they decide to “wait” Connect with Carson: Book: Growing Together Website: https://www.carson-meyer.com/  Skincare Line: https://candthemoon.com/  Instagram: @ccmeyer

As we grow, spiritually and in maturity, sometimes the process can be difficult. We are messy people. But it's important that we grow along side one another, especially as believers in Jesus Christ. We should be there for one another, and that means standing for unity- even when it's hard.Do you need to adopt a mindset of humility? Do you need chose to restrain your strength and live in gentleness toward someone? Do you need to be patience and refuse to become resentful or seek vengeance against someone who has wronged you? Do you need to stick with someone that is immature or difficult without surrendering truth and love?

Real spiritual growth doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in community. In Acts 2, we see a beautiful picture of the early church: a people devoted to God, to one another, and to growing in faith together. This week, we explore how biblical community is not only essential for our spiritual health, but also a powerful witness to the world around us.

Growing Together

Friendship is beautiful—but it's also messy. Feelings get hurt. Expectations go unmet. We misunderstand each other. But as we'll reflect on the life of Mary Magdalene—a woman who experienced both profound mercy and fierce loyalty—we'll consider how grace and forgiveness can be the bridge that keeps us connected even in conflict. This is where real sisterhood grows: not in perfection, but in love that chooses to stay.Is there a friendship in your life that feels strained, broken, or uncertain? Is there someone you need to extend grace to—or someone you need to ask forgiveness from?Join us every Tuesday at 1 pm ET for The Weekly Visit on the BIS Member Community!

A lifelong ballet dancer, she moved to California in 2020 to teach high school. She married in 2024, and her daughter Jane was born nearly one year later.

I have something personal to share. This podcast — this weekly connection with you — is one of my favorite parts of my work. It's not even fair to call it work. If I won the lottery and never had to work for money again, I'd still be here with you, every week. (Recording from my penthouse in Copenhagen, but still). And... I have not won the lottery, sadly. And producing a well-done podcast is expensive. And after 10 years of offering this freely (and with joy!), I've realized that growing it further and making it better means accepting help, and trying new things. Yep, I need to practice what I preach to you!  Here's the deal: I'm partnering with a media company that's doing things differently, giving creators like me opportunities to earn money from their podcasts while also ensuring this is a really nice experience for you. This move will help support the podcast while still making it free for you, always. (So if you were wondering if this was going to a paywall/Patreon situation the answer is NEVER.) What it does mean is that you will start to hear promotions on the show. No sleazy ads. Nothing gross or tone deaf. Just me, reading sponsorship messages for products and services I genuinely like and trust. Behind the scenes, I want you to know I'll be saying NOPE to promo requests for anything and everything that is not congruent with our shared values. I'm doing this as a way to serve you better — to bring in new voices, create richer content, and stay sustainable. But this is new for me. I'm a little nervous about it. I hope it will be good for both of us, but as with all new things, you never really know what's going to happen until you do it. That's why we need to stay connected as we head into this new era together. Seriously. I'm going into this knowing that this isn't just my podcast. It's ours. Like any relationship, we need to communicate! Starting immediately (like, right now

I finally connected with Carson Meyer, birth doula, mother and author of the gorgeous book "Growing Together; Doula Wisdom and Holistic Practices for Pregnancy Birth and Early Motherhood." While I know most of us have already gone through the portal of motherhood and birth, this book and Carson's gentle wisdom and spiritual orientation to life, birth and motherhood can expand our context for ourselves, our children and our role as mother.We talk about the many ways we Doula our emotions, those of our children, ourselves and each other, Spirit Babies, intuition, going back and seeing and repairing with the young mother within us, and orienting to the entire motherhood journey as a growth process for all of us. This was such a beautiful conversation and I highly recommend it for all of us!You can connect with Carson and her work here with early mothers and her book (I wish I had a pregnant mama to send it to and I absolutely will when I do!): https://www.carson-meyer.com/
