In this episode, I sit down with my friend, Kristen LaValley, author of the new book "Even If He Doesn't." Kristen shares her deeply personal journey of faith, resilience, and finding God's love in the midst of life's challenges. After experiencing church hurt and leaving full-time ministry, Kristen found herself in a dark spiral of anger and confusion. Everything she once understood about her faith and God's workings seemed shattered overnight. Wrestling with who God truly is, Kristen embarked on a journey of reconstructing her faith and letting go of control. Through her process of deconstruction, Kristen discovered the beauty of an intimate relationship with Jesus and the importance of finding truth and peace beyond social media portrayals. She emphasizes the significance of marking moments where God shows up in our lives, likening them to Ebenezer stones – reminders of God's faithfulness and provision. Kristen shares a powerful testimony of how God provided for her family during a difficult pregnancy, illustrating the tangible ways God's love manifests in our lives. Despite medical complications and challenges, Kristen's faith remained unwavering, rooted in the sovereignty of God. Furthermore, Kristen opens up about her struggles with anxiety, depression, and undiagnosed ADHD, highlighting the importance of mental health awareness and destigmatization within the church. Join us as Kristen LaValley shares her inspiring journey of faith, resilience, and encountering God's unconditional love in the midst of life's trials. Also grab yourself a copy of her new book today wherever you buy books! Bio: Kristen LaValley is a writer and storyteller whose words offer a refreshing perspective on faith and spirituality. She offers insights that intersect doubt and belief, hope and suffering, beauty and heartache. With a deep love for the Christian faith and a willingness to explore its complexities, Kristen's writing offers nuanced conversations that challenge readers to think deeply and wrestle with important questions. Kristen lives in Massachusetts with her husband, Zach, and their five children.

Taking the steps to respect the boundaries we create for ourselves. The body holding onto emotional pain and identifying the symptoms of it. The steps to making a full change and/or fully healing.

Well this is a topic that is definitely close to my heart and I have experienced in such strong ways. I am so grateful that I was able to sit with Kristen Harding, a local mom and owner of PillarBox Gifts, to talk about how to "find ourselves" in the dense forest of motherhood. The pressures of motherhood have high standards where we feel this need to "mom so hard" all-the-time. It's easy to get a bit lost in that forest. Or very lost. On top of it we don't use our own compass to get to where we need to be- we look around at others and feel we should be where they are or do what they're doing. Trust me, I speak from experience. A piece of advice, you do not have to have the same journey as anyone else. Write your own story. But first- you have to connect with who you truly are beyond the role of a mother. How? Listen to this episode as Kristen and I share our stories and she gives incredible guidance and hope for a life where you can truly be happy and fulfilled on your terms. A bit more about Kristen: Kristen is a stay-at-home mom to an amazing little boy while running my own business doing something that she loves. Motherhood has inspired her to create a strong yearning for community and connection that she didn't have before. Kristen has a strong passion for art and creating and chose to use these skills to create gifts for other women as a means to show them how truly valuable and loved they are and to help create a community of women supporting women. Thank you so much for listening and sharing this episode with some friends. I hope that this episode can help you in some way and know I'm here if you ever want to connect and chat.

In this Conversation Brigette and Kristen talk about why it matters to have a spiritual identity and how Kristen views herself because of having one. They talk about how it impacts your life, helps you through struggles and gives you purpose. Kristen Walker Smith is a co-host of the One Minute Scripture Study podcast, a Deseret Book masterclass teacher, BYU Education Week speaker, EFY teacher, former seminary teacher, and bestselling author. Kristen graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Brigham Young University where she met her darling husband of almost 20 years; they are the parents of three wonderful, rascally children. When Kristen isn't teaching the gospel you can usually find her rock climbing, listening to Elder Holland talks, or eating peanut butter– frequently all at the same time. Quotes from the podcast: I am purpose driven.. and there is something for me to do for God every single day- Kristen I am a daughter of God and I am here for a purpose- Kristen (A spiritual identity) is the foundation on which you build your life with- Brigette but I know who I am, and I have a purpose, so I can't give up- Brigette when you see that God has a purpose for your whole life but also for each season of your life, I can look back and see the purpose in that, how it changed me and it made me more empathetic, it also made me more capable of reaching people I wouldn't be able to reach if my life was just la-dee-da all the time and it also brought me to God in other ways that it couldn't have. Knowing your life has purpose and that God has a purpose for each difficult thing you go through- the is so strengthening for me. - Kristen There is just a level of compassion that God wants us to have for ALL of his children.- Kristen He loves people and its not in spite of their weaknesses and difficulties, but because he sees their power and strength as they fight through it- Kristen "the greatest leaders of all time have compassion"- Joey Heller Compassion is the truest expression of love- Brigette We think we are one thing, but when we open our mimd and our heart to our spiritual identity, when that happens we begin to understand who we really are- Brigette our true self is much more aware then our frontal lobe- Kristen I have a spirit that reminds my brain what it true- Kristen I am amazed at how I can be in a class of 500 on the internet, we do a meditation, and all the sudden everyone is crying. It's because for 2 seconds they let go of what their brain thought and they tune into what their spirit thought. your spirit will call you out but it will love you infinitely.- Brigette If did not believe God created me and I had a purpose and I am accountable to him, I would probably have reacted to my circumstances very differently- Kristen If I didn't believe that God had wanted me on earth, I might have ended that option- Kristen I learned that it was a season and that things will always, always get better... Waiting for 7 years is a long time, but I recognized that I was in a waiting period.- Kristen God had waiting periods, and growing periods and be patient periods.- Kristen there is a clear difference when your living with the spirit and a spiritual identity and not.- Brigette be patient with yourself, its o.k if all you can do today is survive.- Kristen To connect with Brigette and Kristen: Kristen: https://kristenwalkersmith.com/ or https://www.instagram.com/kristenwalkersmith/ Brigette: www.thestrongandcapable.com IG: Brigette.Heller FB: The Strong and Capable Page
Are you dealing with productivity issues in your business? Kristen Westcott has a knack for finding those productivity issues and fixing them or helping you work through them. Listen as she shares the productivity tech you need in your business and why it's important even if you're just starting out. Kristen started her career in corporate and then transitioned into health coaching after having her daughter. She maintained her corporate job but knew she wanted to do something more and to have more time at home. What she found as she was communicating with other businesswomen and entrepreneurs however is that she wasn't focused on the health of their bodies so much as the health of their businesses. She decided to get her certification as a Director of Operations and become an instrumental part of creating systems and processes that help six and seven figure business owners make it to the next level. Listen as she shares her story and which tech products you need regardless of what stage you're in with your business. These recommendations will save you tons of time and money and help you stay on track with your goals. Are you already using some of these? Which do you still need to implement? In This Episode: [00:49] Welcome to the show, Kristen! [00:59] Kristen shares her journey to becoming a Director of Operations. [06:34] She believes when you first start out you can follow too many people and then you end up trying to force things instead of what comes naturally. [08:04] Let things come from a place of service and the rest will flow. [09:17] Kristen shares the tools she believes people starting out should use that will grow with them. [13:18] She talks about the very basic things you will need to keep track of your day to day work. [17:24] You need a digital calendar that functions as your home base that will go with you wherever you go. [21:23] She also suggests getting a meeting link like Zoom, and a shared drive for storage of documents. [25:15] Once you have the basic tools, the next pain point is learning how to prioritize what needs to get done. [28:02] So many people get caught up over content creation but she believes you should just go live and be real. [30:20] We allow our mindsets to make mountains out of very simple things. [32:38] Get started anyway the juices will start flowing. [32:54] If you are in the mood, shoot your video as the inspiration comes to you and put it in your bank. [36:22] Kristen shares some things you can do today to help be more consistent with your productivity. [40:18] Thank you for being on the show!

Get it going.” “You're going to get real clear, real fast when you start actually taking action.” “You have to be able to evoke emotion from your reader in a way that says, Oh man, she gets me and she can solve my problems.” “Where your focus goes, energy flows” “Are you going to show up with the belief that I'm essential and what I offer is essential and I'm going to make it known and serve people really well.” “Paying an expert is worth removing this pain that I'm experiencing to shortcut my success.” “What if you can have massive success without hustling your butt off for it?” Bio: Kristen is a mindset and business coach who specializes in helping women build their influence and grow successful businesses that deeply align with their purpose. With nearly 15 years of experience working in service and marketing, she's pivoted from celebrity hairstylist to boutique owner, to business coach.

{Kristen} Kristen experienced a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks and, despite knowing other women who'd had a similar experience, she was still deeply shook by the heartbreak. She highlights chromosomal testing post D&C as well as complications post D&C. Our culture refuses to talk about miscarriage, so very few women (or doctors!) know what to do or what to really expect when it happens. And it happens a lot- more than current statistics reflect. Some celebrities have talked briefly about their painful experience, but ultimately it's glossed over outside of hushed message boards. Especially how to get through it and recover at home. We're changing that. Managing Miscarriage is a new nonprofit initiative to fill the void. As a nonprofit, we run completely on donations. Our services help thousands of women so please support us by donating through our website, ManagingMiscarriage.com Managing Miscarriage 40+ page eGuide is available here: Free eGuide by Dr. Wittman

Sometimes you unexpectedly find your calling out of a moment of sheer frustration. And sometimes what feels like the worst thing that could have happened turns out to be one of the best. I got to sit down with my dear friend Kristen Fulchi, a brand strategist, product photographer, and website designer, to share her story with you. And it’s includes all of the above lessons and more.

She has since closed the previous business and is now pouring her passion into her work every day. This is a must listen, my loves! We talk about… What it feels like to pour a ton of money and time and effort into a business and not see the results you’re expecting How Kristen’s current business was birthed out of anger and frustration How anger can be a motivating emotion Coming to the decision to sell her first business (and how she sold it) Letting go of this story that you must have formal education (versus experience) in order to be successful and have credibility The story of how the TRFE logo came to be (Kristen designed it!)

Pam: I’m Pamela Wasley, CEO of Cerius Executives, one of the largest North American providers of contract executives for part-time, temporary, interim and consulting assignments. These executives are available to step in the companies on short notice to fill sudden gap in leadership, to run a key initiative, or to provide specialized skills and knowledge for a temporary period of time. Today we'll be talking to members of the Cerius team who are experts in either hiring or placing executives in full-time, part-time or on a consulting basis. So let's meet the Cerius team. First we have Kristen McAlister, President of Cerius, next is Matt Saur, Chief People Officer, and then we have Maria Hillman and Kim Person, both Vice-Presidents of Client Solutions. Let's get right to the questions, shall we? Let’s do a rapid fire session here and each of you give me one answer to each of the next 3 questions. Things to avoid when hiring an executive. Maria, let’s start with you. Maria: Anyone that uses the word “I” too much and not “we”, meaning they’re not a team player. Pam: Excellent. Matt? Matt: Don’t hire somebody in my image. Pam: Ah yes. Kristen? Kristen: I would like to be careful from recycling within your industry. You may have an expert in your industry but they’re just going to recycle ideas and other concepts that are within it and not bring a great outside innovative perspective. Pam: Great. Great answer. Kim? Kim: Hiring an executive that cannot talk about his or her accomplishments. Pam: Alright. Next one. Things to ask an executive that you want to hire? Maria? Maria: I would ask them, what would you do in the first 30 days on your job. Pam: Ok. Matt? Matt: What were you brought in to do on your last assignment, and what did you accomplish? Pam: Right. Thanks Matt. Kristen? Kristen: Ask them about the results from their last couple of assignments or positions. Some one can’t come up top of their head. What type of numbers, what type of impact that they’ve had? Especially using numbers other than, I just increased morale. They weren’t measuring it then, and they’re not going to measure it for you. Pam: So you want specifics. Correct? Kristen: I want specifics. Better have it all on the top of your head because if you don’t have it from your past, how are you going to measure it and monitor it for me, and get me results. Pam: Exactly. Kim? Kim: I’m just going to reiterate. You’ve got to talk to executives what can you do for the company, not what you can do for the executive. Pam: Oh perfect one. Thanks Kim. Alright next one. Company X needs to diversify its revenue stream. What type of an executive should they be looking for? Expertise, duration of contract, etc. Maria: I would think expertise would be a marketing person or an innovation officer, and 3-6 months. And somebody from, that has some industry experience but that also has other verticals that you may be looking at. Pam: Right. Thanks Maria. Matt? Matt: I don’t know that I could add any more than what Maria said. I agree completely. To me it’s sales marketing, it’s experience. It’s having experience and multiple, looking at multiple organizations and being able to look at where they’ve been, where they need to go and how to get them from here to there. So still the marketing will be the obvious but I do think that there are other disciplines that could also get, make that happen. Pam: Great, thanks Matt. Kristen? Kristen: Let’s start off with a very specific strategic product individual. Someone who knows how to productize, because optimally you’re not just looking at the revenue streams not just within the industry. It’s what is the product, how I describe the product and is it marketable within that. And a great marketing product person will know that and be able to carry out the messaging, so that not just the market gets it but your team as well. And then one great news about management consultant is that from that point is they diversify more within other industries. An Industry is vertical specific to executive, so we already have the contact say they know how to do it and they’ve done it many times. Pam: Great, thanks Kristen. Kim? Anymore to add? Kim: Really no. I just, I agree with everyone but also agree with Kristen that if you can productize, you’ve got to have someone that understands other verticals and other applicability’s for the product. Pam: Great. Thanks Kim. Alright before we wrap up here today, let me ask one last question to all the panelists. What last minute advice would you give business owners for thinking of hiring a temporary, part-time or contract executive? Kristen, why don’t we start with you? Kristen: Telling them what I needed done. I’d want to know that they’re done it at least 3-5 times in other companies. I talk to those companies, I talk to the co-workers because I know that they’ve had used that expertise in those situations. Pam: You like the experience that they bring? Kristen: Yeah, I want to know that they’ve got the expertise that I need and they’ve got proven results on it. Not just they’re a great person to work with and they’ve accomplished so much. Have they accomplished what I need done? Pam: So you don’t want somebody that just have an MBA and right out of college. Correct? Kristen: Not just right out of college. There’s some incredible executives out there that have accomplished a lot of things. They just haven’t actually done and they have light team for balance. They haven’t actually done and been involved in my types of situation. It needs to be specific. Pam: Great. Anyone else have anything to add? Matt: I would add it. Our interims have both depth and breadth of experience in their specific discipline. The other thing that they have is that they come with usually 20-plus years of experience in a larger organizations or in large consulting firms. So what they bring to a CEO is that they bring that expertise, that is far-reaching under than just what that CEO is looking for us to come in and help them with. They can come in and provide advice on their whole organization, not just on the specific discipline that that CEO is looking for. Pam: Great, thanks Matt. So thank you all for being here today and sharing your expertise on things CEO’s need to know when hiring part-time, temporary and contract executives. Next month tune in for our podcast on the advantages of boards and advisory boards, especially the companies today. Should be a great topic and one you won’t want to miss. See you then.
