Steve Leonard, of StephenDavidLeonard.com, joins me today to talk about Dad Guilt, parenting, gains and losses, identity, and living the abundant life. Steve and his wife, Lisa (of Lisa Leonard Designs) are the parents of two sons: David, 21 and Matthias, 19. Their world was changed dramatically when David was born with a rare genetic disorder, Cornelia DeLang Syndrome. You can read about it here.  I first met the Leonards when they moved to San Luis Obispo when Steve became our Family and College Pastor. When Lisa's jewelry took off, Steve then moved out of formal ministry to help manage their fast-growing business. He discusses the challenges he faced in changing roles and parenting a boy becoming a man and moving off to college as well as one who will never move out and move on. Each son provides much joy in the Leonard's lives and we are blessed to know them in our little community.  GIVEAWAY - Two Roman Cross Coin necklaces for two winners!

Being a dad has helped me understand God's heart a little bit more.  We actually live between the first page and the last page of the Bible. Dad Guilt is real and less talked about, perhaps, because we are men. Living by "ought's and should's" can hinder the abundant life that God promised in Scripture. More than anything else, our son David has taught me that I am made in God's image and that is my worth. Steve is Founder and CEO of StephenDavidLeonard.com.

In Episode 10 of a Big, Happy Life, I get to introduce you to Lisa Leonard, founder of Lisa Leonard Designs, author of Brave Love, wife to Steven and mama to David and Matthias. Lisa and I met at a conference and quickly became soul friends. In fact, I would say this: the first conversation I ever had with Lisa was deeply rooting for me and actually helped me have the guts to transform into the woman I know God was calling me to be. Lisa and I are inviting you to pull up a chair beside us and have the same kind of conversation. We tackle big topics, like what makes us feel unloveable, the never-ending battle of feeling "good" enough, and the beauty of coming up imperfect again and again. I can't wait for you to listen and I hope + pray this conversation has the same impact that Lisa's voice had in mine. 

This podcast was a little nerve racking for us because it was the first time we had a guest on the show who we didnt’ know before! (Could you tell?) But Stephen made it easy for us. It was seriously an honor to have him on the podcast and hear his insights from his life experience as a pastor, entrepreneur, husband, and father. My biggest takeaway was how he approaches conversations with his wife that could turn into a fight. Instead of accusing her of something or saying how she’s “making” him feel, he says - “I’m making up a story in my head right now that you’re really mad or annoyed at me about something. Is that true?” and then he lets his wife provide the context. Get this, he said that 9 TIMES OUT OF 10, HE IS WRONG. And he’s been married for 20 years! It goes to show how easily we can deceive ourselves with the stories we tell ourselves. Check out our new Podcast! Taking Sides - The Marriage Podcast Follow the Dashleys for more! thedashleysvlog.com facebook.com/thedashleysvlog instagram.com/thedashleys youtube.com/thedashleys hellodashleys@gmail.com A veteran pastor, husband, father, entrepreneur, and organizational leader, Stephen Leonard has spent two decades in his pursuit of understanding the design of his own life. He spent his college days studying literature to engage with the great ideas of the world, attended seminary to know how to study the Bible, and earned his doctorate to learn communication. After serving for ten years in pastoral ministry, Stephen stepped into a new phase of living his faith in marketplace as an entrepreneur. Under his leadership as CEO, Lisa Leonard Designs quickly grew from his wife’s hobby business at the kitchen table to a multimillion-dollar company employing 150 people and operating globally. He has since expanded their business, including founding the rapid growing Stephen David Leonard brand launched in 2017. His education, pastoral experience and business success couldn’t shield him from the real-life struggles of having a son with a severe disability, depression, business stress and a marriage crisis. He came to realize there are no easy answers. As he faced these struggles, he began to read God’s word with a new perspective. Living by design means engaging with honesty, facing struggles head on and being willing to not have it all figured out. Stephen lives on the central coast of California, with his wife Lisa, their two boys and their pug. He loves to read, play guitar and ride his bike in France whenever he gets the chance!

My guest for The Happy Hour # 233 is Lisa Leonard. Lisa is a momma, author, and business owner. Together with her husband Steve, they built a thriving jewelry business, Lisa Leonard Designs. Lisa and Steve have been married 20 years, and have two boys, David and Matthias. Steve and Lisa live in California and her first book, Brave Love, came out in January!  Lisa and I start off the show talking about how she started her business. Lisa then opens up about how she felt like the true Lisa was disappearing in efforts to accommodate others. I appreciated her honesty when she spoke about the fear of rejection she felt when she decided that she wouldn't hide the true Lisa anymore. Lisa and I then talk about what it's been like parenting a special needs child. You will love hearing her story of how God prepared her heart for having a special needs child in the most incredible way through a non-verbal second grader.  Lisa also shares about the grief she's been through. I think we can all relate when you hear her speak of the struggle of confronting dark places of grief instead of putting on a happy face and pretending we're okay. At the end of the show, I had Lisa do something I've never done on my show - read aloud from her book! I loved hearing her words, and I know you'll be encouraged to live life with Brave Love.  Connect with Jamie Facebook // Twitter // Instagram // YouTube Sponsors Bolster Sleep - use code HAPPYHOUR for 10% off Joy Bird - use code HAPPYHOUR for 25% off Third Love - get 15% off your first order GET ALL THE LINKS FROM THE SHOW HERE

Lisa Leonard's name has become synonymous with her jewelry design company, Lisa Leonard Designs. Started out of the spare hours of her day caring for her son with special needs, Lisa's hand stamped jewelry business combined with her blog has grown to a multi-million dollar company with more than 300 employees in five countries. A woman who has walked through many doors God has opened, she has a story worth telling. Despite her business success, Lisa felt paralyzed by her responsibilities and asked her husband Steve for a separation. Through counseling she realized she was taking on other people's feelings and didn't know how to ask for what she wanted. In this interview we talk through how she and Steve continue to work on their relationship, how Lisa actively practices saying what she needs, and her imginary file box that helps her from taking on others' feelings. We talk through her creative process, how she carves out silence to make mental space for new ideas, what a typical day looks like and how she learned she owns two forklifts. You won't want to miss this honest and insightful conversation with jewelry designer Lisa Leonard. An episode for any woman who has wondered am I too afraid to say what I really want?

In this episode, Mary Susan speaks with Lisa Leonard about her new book, "Brave Love: Making Space for You to be You". Topics of discussion include the parenting journey of raising a child with profound special needs, the breakdown and restoration of her marriage, and the realization that she had somehow taken herself out of the equation of her own world. Lisa is the founder and creative director of Lisa Leonard Designs. She is a speaker, a writer, and a mother to two incredible sons, David and Matthias. Lisa, her husband Steve, and her boys reside on the Central Coast of California.

I'm with my curly haired sister, Lisa Leonard, founder of Lisa Leonard Designs, Blissdom alumni, and all around amazing woman. We are talking about parenting, marriage, business, writing your own manifesto, and living with Brave Love.      In this episode we discuss: 1. The real story of building her wildly successful business. 2. How she learned to love and take care of herself. 3. The secret to overcoming people pleasing.   Favorite quotes: 1. You don't have to have it all figured out. Even if you fail, you're gonna be loved. 2. There's such a beauty and wholeness that comes with that willingness to really look at the hard stuff and be honest about it. 3. What does it look like to live in wholeness for me? 4. Brave love is this honest living. I'm gonna be honest about what I think and feel and you may not like it. It may hurt you. It might be messy, there might be conflict, but if we're not being real with each other then we really don't have any intimacy at all.   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. How do you recalibrate when you have gotten off course with your goals? (46:30) 2. Does the bible have a way that says how we should handle the death of a loved one? (51:04) 3. How do you hustle to grow your business without striving? (53:44)   Hope you loved this episode!
