Do you sometimes say “no” to hope … without even realizing it? Many of us protect ourselves from yet another disappointment by distancing ourselves from the very experiences God is inviting us into. In today's heartfelt conversation, guest co-host Danielle Grosse and I explore why biblical hope is never a demand to “cheer up” or “try harder,” but always a gentle, persistent invitation to receive good things — at a pace that feels safe. You'll learn to notice God's quiet nudges, release unrealistic expectations, and rest in the hope that meets you right where you are, right now.   Links Mentioned: Episode #293: Come Out of Hiding — Your Invitation to Step Into Healing https://cherigregory.com/episode293 Episode #294: Healing at a Gentle Pace — Why We Need Gentle Words & Ample Time https://cherigregory.com/episode294/ Episode #295: NOT a Bait and Switch—What Biblical Hope Looks Like in Real Life https://cherigregory.com/episode295/ Danielle's book The Boy, the Boxer, and the Yellow Rose: Because You're Not Lost.

Send me a text!Flexible routines for real life don't come from a one-size-fits-all approach — no matter what the countless books and “success” formulas claim. Everyone's life, capacity, and circumstances are different, and we all need space to account for how both direct and indirect events impact our time, energy, and priorities. Prescriptive systems that ignore this reality dismiss our lived experiences and fuel self-doubt. Instead of forcing yourself into someone else's mold, you deserve routines that honor your humanity, support your energy, and meet you where you are. What works for you today might not work next month, and that's okay. Structure and flexibility both have a role in building a system that works for you.In this replay episode, I explore how to create flexible routines for real life that still incorporate structure but in a way that allows you to adapt when life shifts without losing yourself in the process.Some of what I'll cover in this episode includes:How to bake flexibility into your plansDetermining routines that support youMeeting yourself where you're at in creating new habitsUnderstanding the relationship between time and energyExercises to assess where you're spending your energyIf you've been feeling stretched thin, scattered, or drained, this conversation will help you design a daily rhythm that supports you — not just your to-do list.LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE:Episode 7 – Can I Make Plans YetReclaim Your Routine Workshop SeriesCONNECT WITH VALERIE:Ask ValerieSign up for Valerie's newsletterSchedule an exploration call This podcast was produced by Valerie Friedlander CoachingProud member of the Feminist Podcasters CollectiveSupport the showSupport the show

Are you homeschooling a neurodivergent child, or just feeling like the “typical” homeschool advice doesn't fit your real life? This episode is for all the mamas who secretly (or not-so-secretly) wish for a blueprint, but end up building a rollercoaster every single day.Today, I'm joined by Amie, a veteran mom of one, homeschooling her neurodivergent son, and living proof that “just one kid” does NOT mean it's always a walk in the park! (Try keeping up with a high-speed Wikipedia page who only wants to talk about trains and Japanese sailing. It's an Olympic sport.)Amie opens up about her journey: from the failed attempt at “Best School in the System” to finding a unique family rhythm at home, letting go of expectations, and embracing a blend of Montessori, Charlotte Mason, and good old, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants adaptability. We dive into what school looks like for a wildly curious, deeply-focused teen and how Wonder Studies (yes, still with her high schooler!) has become a lifeline for jumpstarting curiosity and keeping herself sane.Wonder how to juggle rabbit trails, box-checking, and your own perfectionist guilt? Amie and I get real about dropping the Pinterest boards and finding peace in the “messy middle.” If your homeschool feels all over the place. Spoiler: you're in good company.What you'll learn:Why letting go of “school should look like school” is the first step to real joyExactly how Amie balances deep-dive interests with actually “doing the school things”Why unit studies + living books + rabbit holes are magic for neurodivergent and neurotypical kids alikeTips for Morning Time with a single, high-intensity learner (and why baskets save everyone's sanity!)How Wonder Studies gives teens independence and mamas instant reliefLetting go of perfectionism, surviving “no core subjects this week,” and still raising an amazing kidWhy curiosity and joy matter just as much, if not more, than checking the boxesResources mentioned in this episode:Wonder Studies Annual AccessTeens on Track resources:Morning Time PlansFor full show notes and a transcript of today's episode, head to pambarnhill.com/hsbt44Mentioned in this episode:Wonder Studies Annual Access Now OpenDoors close August 15.

You're crushing your to-do list, checking off task after task, but by 3 PM you feel like you've been hit by a truck. Sound familiar? That was my guest Heather Chauvin's reality until a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in 2013 changed everything.As a mom of three boys and a new business owner, Heather was in the thick of juggling it all. She was getting things done, hitting deadlines, and managing everything on her plate. But she was also completely burned out, resentful, and running on fumes with an internal ache that this wasn't sustainable. Her cancer diagnosis became an unexpected teacher, showing her that there's a whole other layer to how we manage our time and energy.Today, Heather shares what she discovered about energetic time management and why asking "How do I want to feel?" might be more powerful than asking "What do I need to do?" In This Episode, We Cover:Why energy management works alongside your planning systemHow to spot invisible energy drains in your daily lifeWhy women automatically shrink themselves (and how to stop)The simple question that changes how you make decisionsWhat alignment actually feels like in real lifeHow to stop doing emotional work for other peopleConnect with Heather:Website: heatherchauvin.comEmotionally Uncomfortable Podcast: heatherchauvin.com/podcastInstagram: instagram.com/heatherchauvin_JOIN THE PLAN-A-PALOOZA ANNUAL PLANNING WORKSHOP The #1 Planning Event for Women, That Works for REAL Life!Live October 15 & 16, 2025Business Owners can add Oct 17Create Your Roadmap for 2026...

When the Holy Spirit fills your life, fear has to go. In Acts 4, Peter and John didn't shrink back—they stood before the Sanhedrin with courage, prayed for even greater boldness, and lived with open-handed generosity. That's the life I believe God is calling us to live. In this episode of The Leader's Notebook, I share how bold faith changes the atmosphere—whether it's a college student witnessing to a Muslim colonel in Nigeria or a believer releasing possessions for God's glory. I'm inviting you to pray for the Spirit to shake your life free from fear, fill you with courage, and release you into the joy of generous living. — Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - A Spirit-filled Church(00:02:47) - Acts 4, Prayer(00:07:25) - Anointing with the Holy Spirit(00:08:58) - What are the fundamental characteristics of a Spirit-filled Church?(00:14:55) - Prayer for Healing From Fear and intimidation(00:16:39) - Prayer for Boldness(00:19:08) - Spiritual Fillers(00:20:19) - God Will Bless You Financially(00:25:44) - A Personal Tip for You(00:26:20) - What Could God Ask You for Tonight That You Would Just Say No(00:31:36) - Leader's Notebook

She almost deleted the DM that would land her on Euphoria.

In this episode, Mardi Winder-Adams sits down with Kim Schreffler for a compassionate and practical conversation about the journey through divorce and the often-overlooked process of reclaiming one's identity afterward. Kim draws on her many years supporting others through major transitions, not only as a phone psychic but as a steady presence for those facing some of life's biggest hurdles. She discusses how divorce is not just a legal or logistical challenge, but truly the end of a chapter, what she calls “the death of a relationship and the life you thought you'd have.”Together, Mardi and Kim explore why it's essential to acknowledge and allow room for grief, rather than simply powering through. They touch on the all-too-common struggle of shouldering every responsibility alone, especially for women who may feel pressured to keep the household running smoothly, even as things fall apart. Kim gently encourages listeners to relinquish the idea of being “Superwoman” and instead accept help in both big and small ways, whether someone cooking a meal, folding laundry, or providing emotional support.Finances are a critical element of moving forward, and Kim shares her own story of financial surprises during her divorce. She stresses the need to organize assets and debts, establish a basic budget, and approach things step by step, always keeping the tasks manageable and allowing for breathing room.The conversation turns to regaining a sense of self after divorce. Kim recommends small daily acts of kindness, like enjoying a favorite meal on fine china or turning an everyday shower into a small relaxation ritual. Mardi and Kim discuss the value of creating new routines and traditions, particularly if children are involved, and the importance of allowing joy back into life through simple pleasures. They also offer a word of caution about oversharing online, emphasizing privacy and self-protection during this vulnerable time.Kim closes the conversation with the reminder that, while the light at the end of the tunnel can feel distant, it's not an illusion and, with time, the future may hold more than you imagined. Both Mardi and Kim provide reassurance and practical tips for anyone moving through divorce, highlighting the small steps and supportive communities that make recovery and renewal possible.About the Guest:Kim Schreffler is a passionate advocate for embracing life's transitions, having experienced firsthand the loss that comes with the end of a relationship and the dreams it represented. She understands that such endings carry real grief and trauma, and acknowledges the pain—recognizing that it "really does suck." Yet, Kim believes in honoring the grieving process and encourages others to not only breathe through the loss, but also to remain open to new beginnings. Through her journey, Kim inspires others to find hope and possibility on the other side of pain, reminding us that when we accept the end of one chapter, we create space for something potentially even better.To connect with Kim:Website: https://www.getwithkim.comAbout the Host: Mardi Winder-Adams is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Loren is a UX Researcher with over 8 years of experience designing user-centered financial solutions. She's passionate about uncovering actionable insights that bridge user needs with business objectives, and specializes in transforming complex behaviors into strategies that elevate digital experiences. Loren currently works at JPMorgan Chase as a Lead UX Researcher for digital commerce solutions. Over her time at Chase she has worked across several organizations, getting to know a wide variety of customer-facing and employee-facing products and services giving her a unique insight into how the customer views Chase as a whole.Kathryn is a behavioral neuroscientist with experience in consumer research and methodological innovation. She earned her Bachelors in Neuroscience and Business from Muhlenberg College and her Masters in Behavioral and Decision Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. She currently works at JP Morgan Chase as a User Researcher, with a focus on methodological development, infusing behavioral science and design thinking into the customer experience.In our conversation, we discuss:* What end-to-end research actually means in practice and why it starts before users ever touch your product.* How to use habit loops to map and influence real customer behavior without forcing change.* The power of live account interviews for breaking out of prototype fantasyland.* Strategies for building alignment and shifting stakeholders from “I need” to “we're solving.”* How internal playbooks, role-play exercises, and empathy maps help teams stay grounded in real life.Some takeaways:* End-to-end research isn't just a longer study, but a wider lens. Loren and Kathryn define end-to-end research as everything from a customer's initial intent to what happens after they close the product. It's not just about usability or funnel drop-off, but about how their lives influence how they interact with your product. To get real insight, you have to look outside the interface and understand what's happening before, during, and after each interaction. That kind of zoomed-out context changes the questions you ask and the recommendations you make.* Customers don't live inside your product and they won't change their habits for you. Many organizations build with the assumption that users will adapt. They won't. Through live account research, Loren uncovered how users ignore offers, stick to their routines, and reject anything that adds complexity. Kathryn explains how habit loops (cue → routine → reward) help teams understand why users behave the way they do, and why your product needs to slot into existing routines, not disrupt them.* Usability labs are structured, focused, and quiet. Real life is not. That's why live account research can be so powerful; users bring their own data, context, and mess. Watching someone navigate a real account reveals things no A/B test or journey map ever could, especially when paired with tools like empathy maps that capture what people are saying, doing, thinking, and feeling.* To build cross-team alignment, make the customer the common ground. When products span multiple teams, priorities clash. Loren uses design rationale briefs and vision statements to realign teams around what the customer wants, not just what each team needs. Kathryn emphasizes the importance of shared language and moving from “I need” to “we're building.” Getting people into the same room, physically or virtually, and grounding them in the customer's perspective is what turns politics into partnership.* If you want teams to understand context, you have to simulate real life. Kathryn runs role-playing workshops where stakeholders juggle real-life distractions while interacting with a product. It's a reminder that customers are busy, stressed, and multitasking, and your product has to work under those conditions. Loren adds that this mindset shift helps counter the overconfidence teams can get from testing in perfect research environments. Their advice: don't just study what customers say, watch what they actually do in the wild.Where to find Loren:* LinkedInWhere to find Kathryn: * LinkedInStop piecing it together.
