Instead, she shares what happens when we lead with curiosity, practice presence, and honor the season we're in.From juggling multiple part-time roles to letting go of full-time journaling work, Amanda gets real about burnout, reinvention, and how self-reflection (through journaling or otherwise) helps us move forward with purpose. It's an episode full of insight, compassion, and practical wisdom for anyone navigating change, seeking meaning, or just trying to figure out what's next.Key Topics and ThemesWhat it means to be growth readyThe power of curiosity as a core valueShowing up for others vs. showing up for yourselfLetting go of control and embracing life's magicParenting lessons that translate to self-awarenessBuilding and releasing a passion projectLearning to value soft skills and intangible talentsCreating space for presence in a noisy worldHow journaling fosters personal transformationRedefining success in seasons of changeLinks and Resources MentionedAmanda Stern on LinkedInOriginal appearance on Career Competitor podcastGrowthReady Podcast archivesSend us a textSupport the showSign up for the monthly newsletter with Steve and GrowthReady (formerly known as Career Competitor) by providing your details here - Request to become part of our community Also be sure to give him and the show a follow on Instagram @coachstevemellor

This episode marks a milestone—400 episodes of Gospel Spice! In this special group conversation, Stéphanie Rousselle welcomes Angel Omoruan, Ros Evans, and Lindsay Sterious to reflect on God's enduring goodness, the landscape of inner growth, and the beauty of vulnerability within Christian community. Stephanie and her friends reflect on the importance of serving “the one,” being open to “hidden spaces” where ministry might not be grand but is deeply significant. God's presence is not limited to moments of solitude or to times of communal support. Both are necessary, and God moves in each. Big announcement! Sign up for our Prayer Course at gospelspice.com/prayer The Power of Community: The “Turtle Formation” Ros kicks things off by revisiting her journey toward understanding her true nature as an introvert. Despite often appearing energetic and talkative, she recognizes that she draws strength from solitude. She introduces the term “turtling”—retreating inward to recharge. Introversion isn't a weakness or escape, but a necessary, God-given rhythm for many. The “turtle formation” provides a picture of believers locking arms, forming a shield for one another in times of attack or weakness. Lindsay and Ros share stories of community prayer sustaining them in difficulty. Ros notes, “find the people who are willing to turtle with you…that is needed to stand firm in truth.” “Turtling” can become unhealthy when it turns into disengagement and numbness. While retreating is sometimes needed for healing and reflection, it must be balanced with healthy connection to God and others. In prolonged withdrawal, we risk isolation and disconnection from the very relationships that God uses for our spiritual growth. God's Lessons through Life Transitions and Challenges Angel relates to Ros's introversion, recounting how recent life changes exposed emotions she hadn't faced before. Like Ros, she found that retreating—turtling—was partly God's way of protecting her and prompting introspection. However, she also describes God's gentle promptings to re-engage with others, learn to lament, extend grace, and embrace vulnerability. Angel brings in the “turtle formation” used by Roman soldiers. This image of locked shields captures how Christian community can protect and carry one another. There's wisdom in both knowing when to retreat for healing and when to rejoin the ranks for mutual encouragement. Community as Spiritual Armor Lindsay adds her own testimony of being “carried” by her community through a difficult season involving her daughter's health. She describes a profound experience of being prayed for—allowing herself to be vulnerable, supported, and reminded that the body of Christ is meant to shield one another. This spiritual “turtle formation” is a source of strength, comfort, and tangible experience of God's care. The Value of Vulnerability Angel reflects on the difficulty—and gift—of being vulnerable, especially when God calls us to serve. She shares that being present and obedient in the small, unnoticed moments often becomes a blessing, not only for others, but for ourselves. By being honest, especially when we struggle, we open space for God to work uniquely through us. Ros sums it up: “when you know the Holy Spirit has you at a place in a moment, you forget about everything…and by the time I finish, the person's getting blessed and I'm getting blessed too.” Stephanie highlights how we often wait for “big” moments, but Jesus values our faithfulness in serving the “one”—whether a child, a mentee, or a congregation member. She remarks, “let's just focus on what really, really matters,” echoing the importance of focusing on small daily acts of love and service. God in the Quiet and in the Crowd The Christian walk is not about perfection, but humility, honesty, and interdependence. Whether you're serving quietly, struggling privately, or standing “in turtle formation” with others, God sees, sustains, and works through it all. Be encouraged to walk vulnerably, faithfully, and together. Key Takeaways: Embrace your God-given temperament (introvert or extrovert). Healthy retreats (“turtling”) are vital, but must be balanced with intentional connection. Vulnerability—within safe community—unveils God's love and the power of prayer. Spiritual battles are not fought alone; we lock shields through fellowship and humility. God uses both quiet moments and community engagement to reveal His goodness and grace. Challenge: This week, ask God where you might need a healthy retreat—and where you might need to step back into community to “lock shields” with others. Practice vulnerable honesty, and remember that God is present both in your shell and on the battlefield. You are invited to join us on the Gospel Spice Prayer Bible Study, titled "The heart behind prayer" starting September 20, 2025! Details and registration here: https://www.gospelspice.com/prayer  There are a few things in our Christian life that we know we should do more, or at least better – and prayer just might top the list. Prayer is a mystery. Why would a conversation with a human have any influence on God's eternal, sovereign plan? It defies logic, and beckons love. How can God, the Almighty Lord of Hosts, be this close, this personal? It defies understanding, and beckons involvement. But, lack of time, inspiration, and discipline, combined with the ruthless tyranny of our busy lives, push prayer to the periphery, to the “one day I'll get to it” pile. And yet, we can excel at what we endeavor to undertake. So, why isn't prayer more of a spiritual priority? Could we develop a mindset around prayer that made it attractive, inspiring, even maybe delightful? What if we attuned our spiritual ears to listen to God, and our spiritual eyes to see His provision? As an unassuming student, I'm going to humbly offer to share the little I have learned from others about the joy of prayer. I will give us theology, practical tips, and useful resources, sharing what works for me as we, together, learn to pray. If you find prayer intimidating, or if your lack of prayer makes you feel guilty or “less than,” then this is the place for you! If you have been a student of prayer for many years, this is the place for you too! If you have breath in your lungs, then prayer can become one of the deepest joys of your day. Don't miss out! A PERSPECTIVE ABOUT PRAYER To pray is to believe that God not only hears, but that He responds. It is to stand in the gap for a broken world, wielding the authority of Christ, empowered by the Spirit, and trusting in the goodness of the Father. The question is not whether prayer works, but whether we are willing to pray the kinds of prayers that invite God's Kingdom into the darkest places of the earth—and of our own hearts. We may never fully understand the mechanics of prayer, or how it intersects with God's sovereignty, but we are not called to understand everything. We are called to be faithful. And faithfulness means showing up—in prayer, in persistence, in expectation. So today, let us pray not only for the comfort of our hearts, but for the transformation of the world. Let us take our place as image-bearers, co-laborers, and co-heirs. Let us believe that God is still listening—and still acting. Because He is. There's only one way to find out what might happen when we truly pray like this. Let's begin. THE MINDSET BEHIND THIS COURSE Before we begin, let me tell you the obvious: I don't really know how to pray. I'm a humble student and absolute beginner at the holy endeavor that is prayer. So, this course isn't really about what I've learned, or any wisdom I might have gathered. But, I've sat at the feet of many prayer warriors over the decades, through books and teachings. So, I'll share what I learned from them. Humility is going to be our primary heart posture! With each lesson, I will offer a few thoughts, practices, and ideas – with much humility, and not taking myself too seriously. I will also share her favorite books and resources about prayer. FInally, I will introduce you to some of the most influential prayer warriors of our history as the Body of Christ. Most importantly, I will invite YOU to pray! Learning to pray comes from praying. Our humble ambition is to inspire you to pray, and to give you a few tips on how to do that. Then, it's up to you! Prayer is a lifelong endeavor. Let's make it delightful together!

Ready to regain your confidence and clarity during divorce? Join Karen McMahon's High Conflict Divorce Support Group—a 6-session group coaching program designed to help you manage triggers, set boundaries, and take back control.  -- 2024 cracked me open. It was one of the hardest years I've lived through—personally and professionally. I felt misaligned with my values, burned out in my work, and disconnected from the joy and freedom I preach to others. But in the summer, I read The Big Leap, and something shifted. I started a year-long commitment to stepping into my Zone of Genius, facing my Upper Limit Problems head-on, and saying YES to what scared me most… and life hasn't been the same since. In this solo episode, I take you behind the scenes of my Big Leap year. I talk about dating again after a decade (gulp!), redefining fun, getting back on my bike (and maybe soon my rollerblades), losing 15 pounds not from restriction, but from celebrating myself differently. I share how I moved from wine on weekdays to novels on the beach, from overworking to letting my work flow from joy. I even caught myself starting arguments in my head—just to feed my old programming. The self-awareness has been wild...and so freeing. And yes, we talk business too. I had tantrums. I doubted. But I kept moving forward. I've reconnected with the why behind Journey Beyond Divorce, and am reimagining the how. I'm sharing what's lighting me up: podcasting, group programs, deep partnerships, and creating space for you to take your Big Leap too. This isn't just my story—it's an invitation for you to leap right alongside me.

Ever watched water flow around obstacles instead of trying to push through them? There's profound wisdom in water's adaptability that we can apply to our own lives. Water doesn't force its way through life; it adapts, shapes itself to circumstances, and finds the path of least resistance. The river doesn't relocate when facing challenges – it simply continues flowing, adjusting its course as needed. By observing how water flows around obstacles rather than forcing its way through, we can learn to move through our lives with less attachment and greater adaptability.Key talking points in this episode include: • Water teaches us to be less attached and move with more ease through life• Sometimes we need to swim upstream, but often we benefit from flowing with the current• "The river doesn't move, it just flows" – a reminder to adapt rather than resist• Taking a pause when needed is part of respecting our natural rhythms and energy• Cancer season (a water sign) encourages working with emotional and intuitive flowsJournaling prompts for the week: Ask yourself what water body you would be right now – a gentle stream, crashing ocean, rushing river, or still lake? What wisdom might that particular water form have to teach you? Where in your life could you release stickiness and find more flow?Join me on this exploration of fluidity, adaptability, and the gentle power of surrender.

Until the advent of highly effective CFTR modulator medications, cystic fibrosis was considered a pediatric disease, because most individuals did not survive into adulthood. Now, with more adults living with CF than children, priorities must change. In these interviews, we discuss what transitions to a longer life with CF entails: from pediatric to adult care; from the possibilities of motherhood and the need for family planning; from adulthood into older age and the infirmities common to all aging adults.

I'm back .... We're so often taught that clarity means choosing one thing. One path. One feeling. But what if multiple things can be true at once? What if honoring that is the most truthful thing we can do?   Today's solo episode is a little more personal, a little more layered — and if I'm honest, it's been brewing inside me for a while. I want to talk about what it means to hold multiple truths at once — without needing to choose just one, or explain away the rest. I'm living in that space right now — loving life here in Costa Rica and knowing it's time to root part of my year somewhere else. Feeling grateful for the health practices that once saved me and realizing they're no longer what my body needs. This episode is for anyone standing in that messy, beautiful, expansive place between what was and what's becoming. Let's talk about what it means to live truthfully, even when it's not neat and tidy — especially then. Takeaways We're talking about: The paradox of loving where you are… and still feeling the call to go somewhere else Why the health routines, relationships, or beliefs that once worked may be keeping you small The parts of yourself you haven't fully mined — and how the world is asking you to show up, open-hearted and true What it means to hold yourself with both compassion and accountability — and become the support system you actually need How to stop trying to make life neat and tidy, and instead live in the truth of your wholeness If you've been standing in a season of contradiction, expansion, or quiet reckoning — this one's for you.   Want more?   If this episode stirred something in you, I'd love to invite you into my Breathe Into Being Breathwork Membership — a space to regulate, release, and reconnect with the truth of who you are.

You've hit the wall. You've circled the same fears, same failures, same question: Now what? This week, Craig Cooney joins me to map out the 7 Stages of Life Transition—that spiritual, emotional, relational journey we all face when momentum crashes into burnout. He's walked past every threshold: loss, disillusionment, plateau, crisis. And he understands what happens when you blitz through “surviving” and find… something new on the other side. In this episode, Craig names the pain of transition: the loneliness of midsize dreams, the temptation to spin in place, the hidden grief behind “I'm tired,” and the silent desperation of burnout nobody talks about. And he exposes the breakthrough waiting when you refuse to stay stuck at the wall. If you're in the pause, the plateau, the painful “In-Between”—this episode will help you understand what stage you're in, give language to the hardship you're living, and show you the transformation lurking on the other side.

Send me a text!How to Avoid Overwhelm and Access Joy in a Time of Change begins with recognizing our shared human struggle to maintain emotional equilibrium during turbulent periods. The journey involves understanding that our stress responses are natural support mechanisms, not personal failures, and learning to engage them with compassion and intentionality. By embracing our nervous system's signals and creating flexible, value-aligned routines, we can transform overwhelming experiences into opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Connecting with our inner landscape and broader ecosystems allows us to move beyond survival mode, accessing deeper reservoirs of resilience and joy that aren't dependent on external circumstances. This approach isn't about achieving some mythically perfect calm, but about cultivating a compassionate relationship with ourselves that honors our shared humanity and supports our capacity to show up authentically in a complex world. In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I explore how to avoid overwhelm and access joy in a time of change through embodied empowerment rather than toxic positivity. Some of what I explore in this episode includes:The difference between disassociating and self-careThe role of your stress response and how you can respond to it.Making space for rest and rechargingSchedule changes, to do lists, and creating routines that support youConnecting to an ecosystem for social change (because it can't just be you) LINKS TO EPISODES REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE:7 Ways to Relax this Summer and BeyondHow to Create a Schedule that Works for YouEmbracing Periods of Reflection LINKS TO REFERENCES MADE IN THIS EPISODE:Valarie Kaur speech clip on InstagramSocial Change Now: A Guide for Reflection and Connection by Deepa IyerDeepa Iyer Substack article: Grieve, Connect, Act, Reflect, Correct.

Send us a textToday's Intuition for Changemakers guest, Alessandra Gerbolini is a current Soulutionary student/circle member of mine.  Recently she shared with our circle— when we were deep diving into ritual as an intuitive tool— ritual as a way to make or mark meaning, as a way to experience or create ceremony where we acknowledge, transform, or heal.  She shared with us a ritual she had recently created and executed to mark a transition she is currently in: that of a mother with a child getting ready to fledge the nest.  Whether you have a child who is about to launch or not— her creation is a gorgeous example of the skill we all have to make meaning, to mark the passage or transition of things in our life— and as Ali says, to in doing so make them more natural— even the hard ones.  I hope you enjoy listening to Ali's wisdom.  I hope it inspires you to make your own magic— to make your own ritual for whatever is important for you at this stage of your life.Show NotesPodcast Ali mentioned: Episode 220 of the Ask Lisa ShowWant to learn one of the simplest intuitive tools I know, one that helps you understand the best course and is as available as your breath?  Download it here! HOW DO I KNOW IF IT IS MY INTUITION SELF-STUDY COURSE Need a reading?  Craving someone else to just look in on the subject for you?  Someone who is dialed into your Highest Good and able to give you information on the choices and roads that will open up your best life for you?  I'm here!  Find out more about my psychic readings and reserve your spot on my schedule here. For more about Aimée, her work, readings, speaking, or classes visit www.AimeeCartier.com. 

Today on Sense of Soul we have Jamie Lee Silver she is an Accredited Certified EFT Practitioner, EFT Specialty Areas: Grief and Loss, Relationships, Financial Abundance Other Training: Certified Energy Healer. She does Past, Present, Future Matrix Reimprinting, is a Skilled Intuitive and is a Certified Stone Medicine Practitioner. Jamie loved being a mother to her young boys. Best time ever. Her boys were both star track runners and people with huge hearts. Aaron is an Physician in Portland Oregon. Jamie is proud of Aaron's accomplishments, and even more proud of who he is as a person. His favorite days as a physician are the days he can spend more time with each of his patients.  Aaron and Jamie have gone through a rough road together. In 2013, Jamie's younger son Ben (and Aaron's best friend) hit a roadblock he could not get over. Ben was a singer, songwriter and poet. He had chosen a university where he received  a full scholarship for running. And, he had an injury that prevented him from running. He suffered greatly. And that suffering took its toll.  In 2014 Ben began showing signs of late-onset schizophrenia. It was a frightening and confusing time where he had frequent catatonic episodes and bursts of anger. The suicide attempts began soon after and in 2015 Ben's schizophrenia took its toll when Ben ended his earthly life, and Ben and Jamie's relationship transitioned to a non-physical one.  Jamie turned to hwe spiritual practices and began a written conversation with Ben. Their first year of correspondence is published in Jamie and Ben's book "Our Forever Ben, one mon's letters to her son-in-spirit and his poetic replies." Jamie's writing was a great source of comfort to her.  Jamie's other source of comfort through her grieving process was her growing practice of EFT tapping.  Because EFT helped her so much, she decided to become skilled and certified by choosing the best mentors in the field, Alina Frank and Craig Weiner. She earned her certification in EFT in 2019 through EFT International.   Jamie's been a mentor and a teacher her entire life. In 2021 Jamie earned her certificate in Grief and Death Studies from the Center for Life Transitions in Fort Collins, Colorado, honing her skills as a grief companion.  Jamie's sessions have immediate impact. Working with Jamie for just one session is life changing. She works worldwide via Zoom and in person in St. Pete, Florida.  Is is time for you to free yourself from sadness, grief, loneliness, and/or hopelessness?  Set up a free consultation with Jamie today by emailing her at tapforhappiness@gmail.com or texting her at 630-926-3001   Visit Sense of Soul website and check out 2025 new affiliates look for the Network of Lightworkers! www.senseofsoulpodcast.com

What gifts can we find in life's impermanence? Dr. BethAnne Kapansky Wright tackles this profound question in a heartfelt exploration of finding peace with life's transient nature.Through readings of her original works "Finding Home" and "Dancing Leaves," Dr. BethAnn reflects on the struggle and beauty of letting go – whether of places, relationships, or versions of ourselves that no longer fit. She shares her fascination with "the void" – that uncomfortable space between what was and what will be – and how it serves as fertile ground for our most significant transformations.Drawing wisdom from Japanese concepts like wabi-sabi (finding beauty in imperfection) and mono no aware (the poignant awareness of transience), she offers a philosophical framework for embracing change rather than resisting it. "We are both broken and whole simultaneously," she explains, inviting listeners to find comfort in this paradox of human experience.For anyone navigating loss, transition, or the bittersweet awareness that nothing lasts forever, this episode provides both validation and perspective. Dr. BethAnn's gentle insights remind us that finding beauty in impermanence isn't about achieving a perfect state of acceptance, but developing a practice of surrender – one that allows us to fully inhabit each precious, fleeting moment.Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

What if midlife wasn't a crisis—but a chrysalis? In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, D'Arcy sits down with spiritual leader and transformational guide Dr. Devaa Haley Mitchell to reframe the way we view this pivotal life stage. Together, they unpack the idea of midlife as a sacred period of unraveling, reclaiming, and radiating—a time of deep transformation that prepares us to emerge more fully expressed, sovereign, and whole. From the rise of the Queen archetype to the cultural stories we've inherited about aging, this episode explores how truth-telling, community, and feminine leadership can help us navigate the unknown with courage and grace. If you're feeling the stirrings of change or longing to embrace your next chapter with intention, this one's for you.   Key Takeaways: Midlife is not a breakdown—it's a metamorphosis. The Queen archetype offers a fresh and empowering lens on aging and leadership. Cultural narratives about aging shape how we see ourselves—and we can rewrite them. Truth-telling is a liberating force for healing and connection. Feminine leadership is intuitive, inclusive, and deeply needed in today's world. The chrysalis journey unfolds in stages: unraveling, reclaiming, and radiating. Community support is essential during times of transition. Embracing sensuality and creativity is key to holistic well-being. Awareness of societal conditioning can help us reclaim our power and purpose. The unknown isn't something to fear—it's an invitation to grow. Whether you're in your thirties, forties, fifties, or beyond, this conversation is a gentle reminder: the unraveling is part of the becoming. And you're not alone.   Meet Devaa: For Dr. Devaa Haley Mitchell, transformation isn't just a concept—it's a way of life. She's dedicated to helping people reconnect with their deepest selves, unlock their leadership gifts, and step into their full potential. As the Co-Founder of The Shift Network, a multiple 7-figure educational platform, Devaa has helped bring life-changing programs to over 3.2 million students worldwide. She's also built an online summit that served 130,000 women across 160 countries—all while growing her company from the ground up. Through her private practice, Devaa supports her clients with Soul and Strategy Coaching to work on both the “inner” work of feminine leadership as well as the “outer” work of visionary strategy and implementation. She also leads women through a comprehensive Midlife Chrysalis process to gracefully navigate the many changes that happen in midlife. Finally, Devaa offers psychedelic integration as well as microdose coaching to enhance creativity and focus, while mitigating the impacts of anxiety and depression. Devaa earned both her BA and MA from Stanford University. She received her Doctorate in Ministry from Wisdom University (now known as Ubiquity University) and is also an ordained interfaith minister. She was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship for her ecological anthropology work with indigenous groups in the Brazilian Amazon. Devaa also completed her Psilocybin Guides certification through Bodhi Academy in Oregon. Earlier in her career, Devaa was a Management Consultant at the Boston Consulting Group where she consulted with Fortune 500 Companies. She later worked as the founding Executive Director of the Full Circle Fund, a thriving venture philanthropy group, followed by a senior Director role at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. She is also a member of the prestigious Evolutionary Leaders group. In her spare time, Devaa is a musician, and her songs fuse East and West with danceable grooves.

In this episode, we conclude our conversation on life transitions with Michelle's husband, Chris Benzinger. We focus on the second and third steps in walking through transitions: releasing with trust and redeeming with hope. We talk about God wanting to redeem our past, the need to let go of the ways we've failed, and how God wants to do something new in the future. We also reflect on the importance of ceremony to conclude a season, the four responses to a loss, and why we should share our hopes for the future with God.   Heather's One Thing - Return to the Heart: The Biblical Spirituality of St. Augustine's Confessions by Dr. Shane Owens Sister Miriam's One Thing -  Mediterranean Chicken Bowls Michelle's One Thing - Belovedness: Overcoming Your Inner Critic - A Lyrical Devotional by Sarah Kroger Chris' One Thing - Running a 5k with his daughter Lilly    Journal Questions: What was good about the previous season of my life? Am I grieving or still carrying hurts?  What is God specifically asking me to release from this past season?  In this next season of my life, what is one thing God is making new? What is one hope I have for this next season of my life?   Creative Prompt: Take a bookmark and decorate it with your hopes for the next season and place it in your Bible. It will serve as a reminder in the next chapter of your life.   Discussion Questions: Reflect back upon the past few years and choose one big or small transition in your life.  What is one thing you are grateful for in the past season of your life? What is God calling you to release with trust from that past season? As you look to this current season, what action can you take to ceremonialize the end of an old season and create the foundation for a new season? Are you able to name what you desire? Why or why not? How are you responding to loss in your current season of life? What is something new God is doing in the current season of your life?   Quote to Ponder: “Remember not the events of the past, the things of long ago consider not. See I am doing something new. Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:18)   Scripture for Lectio: “But now thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, and formed you O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; and you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1)   Sponsor - Karol Coffee Co.: This week's sponsor is more than just a coffee company. Karol Coffee Co. was inspired by the life and work of one of the most beloved saints of the modern era: Karol Wojtyła, better known to the world as Pope St. John Paul II. His life was a testimony to courage, joy, and cultivating beauty that draws souls into union with Jesus and one other. From his days as a young priest in Nazi-occupied Poland to his years leading the global Church, St. John Paul II consistently called people to embrace truth, goodness, and beauty in every aspect of their lives. Karol Coffee Co. seeks to carry on that mission in a small but meaningful way — by bringing community, love, and joy into the heart of our everyday routines through coffee. Founded by Nate and Megan Whipple, a faithful Catholic couple rooted in mission, Karol Coffee Co. began humbly in 2022 as a simple garage-based roasting operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. What started as a passion project quickly became something greater, thanks to the encouragement and support of fellow Catholics and coffee enthusiasts. In just a short time, their venture has grown into a thriving small business that now serves customers all over the country. In an age when many of our purchases inadvertently support massive corporations with values often at odds with our own, supporting small, Catholic-owned businesses has never been more important. Karol Coffee Co. offers an alternative: ethically-sourced, traceable coffees roasted with care and intention. Each batch is crafted not only for flavor but with the desire to honor the dignity of those who cultivate the beans and to support communities around the world. Their rotating coffee offerings include a range of carefully selected beans from notable coffee-growing regions with flavor profiles to suit a variety of preferences. Karol Coffee Co. makes it easier to keep your kitchen stocked with beans through bi-weekly or monthly subscription options. Fresh, delicious coffee delivered right to your door — no last-minute grocery runs or chain coffee stops required. But beyond the coffee itself, what makes Karol Coffee Co. truly remarkable is the heart behind it. Nate and Megan have built their business around community and mission. It's about more than just selling beans; it's about creating opportunities for people to encounter beauty, truth, and goodness in the midst of their everyday lives, and to share that with the people around them. They have a passion for creating opportunities for people of all backgrounds and walks of life to experience connection and unity through the shared love of coffee and beauty. We'd love for you to get to know them and become part of their growing community. You can visit their website at www.karolcoffeeco.com to explore their current offerings, sign up for a subscription, or learn more about the mission behind the brand. You can also follow along with them on Instagram @karolcoffeeco.  And if you're ever passing through St. Paul, Minnesota, be sure to visit their brand-new brick-and-mortar coffee shop. Their beautiful shop is a space where faith, community, and great coffee come together in a setting that feels like home. The walls are covered in paintings by local artists, as well as those of Megan herself (@meganwhippleart). You can even find a portrait of Pope Saint John Paul II painted by Megan (prints available on the Karol Coffee Co. website - https://karolcoffeeco.com/products/megan-whipple-art-karol-8x10-print). The shop offers a simple but complete food menu of organic and locally sourced food and a great variety of caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks.  So whether you're looking to start your mornings with a little more purpose, support a Catholic business, or simply discover some truly great coffee, we wholeheartedly encourage you to check out Karol Coffee Co.

In this episode, Chris Benzinger joins us to discuss navigating big and small life transitions. We have all probably found ourselves on the other end of a transition feeling unfulfilled or confused. Chris takes us through a reflection of Joshua leading the Israelites across the Jordan and relates it to change in our lives. We talk about why it can be difficult to move on from blessings of the past and how remembering with gratitude is the first step in walking through transitions. We also discuss the practice of taking memorial stones with us to remember the Lord's blessings, giving thanks in all circumstances, and growing a lens of gratitude. Join us for part two next week!   Heather's One Thing - Festival of Praise at Franciscan University Sister Miriam's One Thing - Sacramental transitions Michelle's One Thing - Chris! Chris' One Thing - Michelle :)   Journal Questions: What transitions am I currently going through? How have I experienced transition in the past? What do I need to remember with gratitude? What truth is the Lord speaking to me in my current circumstances?   Discussion Questions: What are you most grateful for in your recent transitions in life? What did the Father show you about His character in the previous season? What are the greatest fears you experience when facing transition? How will you allow space in your heart as you experience changes in your season of life? How can you embrace both the grief of what has ended and the joy of the new adventure in your transition?   Quote to Ponder: “And the Lord said to Joshua, “Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony to come up out of the Jordan.” Joshua therefore commanded the priests, “Come up out of the Jordan.” And when the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord came up from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks, as before.” (Josua 4:15-18)   Scripture for Lectio: “Rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)   Sponsor - Our Holy Home: We're so grateful to partner this season with Our Holy Home — a Catholic brand that's on a mission to fill homes with beauty, subtle reminders of faith, and a deep sense of peace in the everyday. Their best-selling dish towels are a simple but powerful way to build up the domestic church — and honestly, we can't get enough of them. These aren't your average towels.

Here's why we love them: Subtle, beautiful Catholic designs that blend seamlessly into your home decor Functional and high-quality — made to be used, not just admired Faith-filled reminders that inspire prayer, peace, and purpose in your daily tasks Perfect for gifting — especially for housewarmings, weddings, baby showers, or that mama friend who's in the trenches Whether you're living liturgically or just trying to bring a little more intention into your everyday routines, these towels are a small way to make a big impact.
