From motherhood to work life, Kayla Aimee has had to adapt to unexpected turns the last decade. Her first child arrived very early, a micro-preemie throwing her into the world of NICU mothering. Now a mom to two, Kayla and her husband recently switched roles in the work/home life and Kayla has gone from stay at home mom to family breadwinner. We hear how the transition has gone for her and her husband as they've swapped major roles in the home. In all seasons of family life adaptability has been key. In this Sister Interview we talk about comparison, how to recognize it when it's happening, and when needed how to shut it down. Now a fulltime, professional social media manager, we hear Kayla's take on social media consumption, when to take breaks, and the importance of remembering no one's feed gives the full picture of a life or situation. A great reminder for all of us. Kayla's latest book, In Bloom: Trading Restless Insecurity for Abiding Confidence is now available. The perfect companion to our conversation with Kayla about avoiding comparisons and living into the life God has given you with confidence, no matter the unexpected turns.

Coffee Talk Topics: Abiding Confidence, and, Seeing Nature through God's Eyes! On Episode #47 we're joined by two special guests with powerful messages that will alter your perspectives about insecurity, and, the animal kingdom as seen through God's eyes. First, author Kayla Aimee, shares about her new book, In Bloom. Trading Restless Insecurity for Abiding Confidence. Kayla digs deep on the show revealing truths about herself that lie within every woman, and how to stop measuring ourselves against each other. Kayla says “every woman is intimately acquainted with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy. Whether fueled by a culture of makeover shows, by the lingering memories of mean girls, or by events much more wounding to the soul, we can become so conditioned by self-doubt that it becomes our inner monologue. What we want is to be free of shame and comparison, to turn our uncertainty into a bold confidence. And to flourish in our own skin, we first have to rewrite the narrative. Then we'll hear from Biologist, Dr. Gordon Wilson, about his new movie, Riot and the Dance, in theaters only on April 19th. This movie is a must-see for families who want to understand for themselves, as well as teach their children about the nature of God's created world. Dr. Gordon shows us the animal kingdom in Riot and the Dance much like a faith version of the popular, River Monster TV series! The Riot and The Dance displays show-stopping footage and powerful narration that will open your eyes to the extraordinary glory found all over the animal kingdom. From leopards and langurs to vipers and elephants and beyond, The Riot and the Dance is a cinematic exploration that you won't want to miss.
