As a Christian working mom, it can feel like the weight of your home, work, and family all rests on your shoulders. Slowing down? That feels risky—or even wrong.

We'll explore: Why Christian moms feel guilty for resting The hidden beliefs that keep us stuck in over-functioning What Scripture really says about rest and identity How to trust God in the stillness Simple, grace-filled ways to start practicing true rest this week God never tied your worth to your work—and He invites you to live like that's true. If you're longing for a way to be present, grounded, and free from the constant pressure to do more, this conversation is for you.

Summary In this episode, Andy interviews Dave Garrison, author of The Buy-In Advantage: Why Employees Stop Caring and How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Give Their All. We've all faced moments where our team seems checked out or disengaged. But what if the real issue is that they don't feel invited to care? Dave challenges conventional approaches to engagement and offers practical, actionable strategies for fostering true buy-in. In this conversation, Dave shares the difference between engagement and buy-in, how traditional methods like bribing or badgering can backfire, and how leaders can use curiosity, clarity, and inclusive decision-making to fuel commitment.

If you're leading teams and looking to create cultures where people don't just show up but they fully buy in, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “It's not about satisfaction.

Back on April 1st, Episode 213, I shared a personal chitchat about why I was working with urgency – because life felt short, and I didn't want to waste time. I wanted to crush my personal and business goals as soon as possible because we're not guaranteed time.And while most of that was true, here I am 10 episodes later taking a lot of that back, not because life isn't short, but because I've come to realize that Jesus never hurries, and maybe I wasn't supposed to either.In this episode, I open up about one of the most refining seasons I've ever walked through: burnout, back-to-back ER visits, fertility struggles, financial debt, and business plans falling apart. But it's also the season where God met me most tenderly, showing that even in weakness, He always provides. That even in chaos, He always brings peace. And yes, that includes an unexpected $18,000 check that covered every single debt I was carrying.This is my raw, unfiltered testimony of God's faithfulness in the slow and uncertain. If you're in a  season that feels the same, where everything seems completely off-track, please hold on to your faith. God sees you. God hears you. And He will make everything perfect in His time.Soli Deo Gloria.

He shares simple, practical habits that help keep your tank full: five quiet minutes in the morning, moving your body, eating well when energy is low, and spending time outside. Chip also opens up about the importance of asking for help, delegating tasks, and giving yourself permission to take a break before you're completely drained. If you've been feeling off, worn down, or just stretched too thin, this episode offers real tools to reset, refocus, and refuel without guilt and without losing momentum.

Whether you're a student staring down deadlines or a project manager caught in the machine, this one's a reminder to pause, stretch, and let your curiosity lead the way.Episode Links:Carla Johnson on LinkedInCarla's websiteMichael Easter's The Comfort CrisisJony Ive's interview at Stripe Sessions-----Have a question for the hosts?

When was the last time you had a good, old-fashioned baking day? Not just whipping up a quick banana bread while the laundry tumbles and the kids are hollering, but a real baking day. The kind where the windows fog up from the oven's heat, the counters are covered in flour, and the radio hums a tune older than your favorite apron. Maybe it's time to get back to a Baking Day Revival. It's easy – just start with slowing down and whipping up some muffins, memories & messes!Paradise MuffinsSend us a textSupport the showThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!

In this episode of The Creative Genius Podcast, I talk with designer, writer, and thinker Ben Rennie, author of a new book that explores the transformative power of curiosity and creativity. Together, we unpack the dynamic relationship between curiosity, creativity, and confidence, and how this path can guide us to overcome fear and step more fully into our potential. Ben shares his personal story—sparked by a promise to his late mother—that led him to examine how people find themselves in powerful, unexpected places.We explore the idea that creativity isn't limited to the arts but is instead the ability to see things differently, solve problems, and bring ideas to life. Through vivid stories and practical wisdom, Ben and I explore how curiosity is the antidote to fear, how creativity naturally flows from curiosity, and how confidence is built by simply beginning—and continuing—to create.From imposter syndrome at a Dolce & Gabbana event to finding inspiration in nature, this conversation is a powerful invitation to get curious, stay creative, and be kind to yourself in the process.Topics Covered:How curiosity dissolves fearWhy creativity is about seeing possibilities, not just making artReframing repetition: why doing what's been done before is still meaningfulHow creative confidence is earned through actionThe role of environment and nature in creative flow Navigating imposter syndromeand Honouring your pathResources & Mentions: Ben Rennie's new book Ben's “Wednesdays” blog on Medium Brene Brown Steve Jobs: “You can't connect the dots looking forward…” Meredith Hite-Estevez: “Join a song already singing” Rick Rubin: on creativity and remixing existing ideasTakeaways / Call to Action:Follow your curiosity—it's the best antidote to fear Just start, even if it's been done before—your voice mattersPractice regularly and create space for your creativityCapture your ideas on the goBe gentle with yourselfSpend time in nature to reset and reconnect

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Truth From The Stand Podcast. In this episode, I'm joined by Jason Redd, and we dive into one of those conversations that feels a little more like sitting around a fire than checking boxes on a hunting talk list. We cover everything from the pressure that comes with modern technology and constant communication, to how learning to unplug—both in the woods and in life—can reset your mindset in a good way. Jason shares how his approach to hunting has shifted over time, especially as he's taken on the challenge of chasing deer in low-density areas where patience, grit, and strategy really matter. We also get into how your instincts tend to sharpen the more time you spend in the woods, and how sometimes success comes down to timing, adaptability, and a little bit of luck. This one's about the long game—learning from your hunts, trusting your gut, and remembering that the hunt is about a lot more than just punching a tag. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 443 Disconnecting from tech isn't just good for your brain—it's good for your hunting too. Chasing deer in low-density areas teaches a whole different kind of patience and grit. The older you get, the more your strategies shift from aggressive to calculated. Sometimes the smartest move you can make is slowing down and trusting your gut. Hunting the Carolinas means dealing with tough terrain and even tougher deer—but the reward is worth it. Success often hinges more on timing, discipline, and knowing the land than motivation or gear. At the end of the day, it's not just about filling a tag—it's about learning something every time you step into the woods.

For years, we lived in the fast lane—juggling work, motherhood, relationships, and everything in between. The pace was exhausting, and the pressure to do it all left little room to simply be. In this episode, we talk about what it means to enter a slower, more intentional season. How did we get here? What have we learned about ourselves—and our mothering—by choosing to step back from the rush? Join us for an honest conversation about shifting gears, letting go of the hustle, and redefining what “showing up” really looks like in motherhood.

What if the path to high performance starts with doing… less?In a first for Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, Erica welcomes her very first male guest: visionary entrepreneur and marketing expert George Bryant. But George isn't here to talk about sales funnels and KPIs—he's here to get real about burnout, misalignment, and the emotional toll of always being “on.”Together, they unpack why high-achieving women often wrap their worth in job titles, productivity, and perfection—and how to start untangling that mess with compassion, curiosity, and yes… even stillness.Inside the episode:✳️ Why people aren't their job titles—and what happens when we forget that✳️ The power of creating space to just be (without your phone) ✳️ Nervous system regulation 101: small tools that create big shifts ✳️  George's H.E.A.R.T. framework and how to apply it to personal growth, not just business ✳️ The one free, overlooked practice that can instantly help you reset ✳️  Plus: Erica's card game for deeper family dinners, and the surprising leadership lesson from a massage tableIf you've been grinding through your goals on autopilot, this episode is your invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the human behind the hustle.—

What if the driving force behind your achievements isn't about what you want, but what you're desperately trying to run away from? In this raw and honest episode, Lisa gets real about the hidden addiction to achievement that so many high performers share—and why your relationship with success might actually be keeping you from the life you really want.What We're Diving Into:The Achievement Trap: Lisa breaks down how the constant chase for more—awards, recognition, that next level of success—often becomes a way to avoid sitting with ourselves. Are you actually pursuing your dreams, or are you just trying to outrun discomfort?Your Power to Choose (Yes, Really): Here's the thing—you're not stuck in old patterns or at the mercy of external validation. Through awareness and honest self-reflection, you can choose how to respond, break the cycles that are keeping you small, and create new patterns that actually nourish you.Peace Without the Productivity Guilt: This isn't about slowing down or doing less (Lisa knows that's not realistic for most of us). It's about learning how to let peace and satisfaction exist alongside your ambitions. You can have both.Success That Actually Feels Good: True fulfillment isn't about what everyone else sees on the outside—it's about how you feel when you're alone with yourself. Lisa shares how to build that intimate, loving relationship with yourself where peace becomes your new normal.Living Enchanted: Drawing from Elizabeth Gilbert's work, Lisa introduces the concept of an "enchanted life"—not the Instagram version, but a sustainable way of being that's grounded, balanced, and deeply satisfying.The Real Talk Moments:Why excitement and depression are often two sides of the same coin—and how many of us are actually addicted to the chaosHow your body can become hooked on dopamine and adrenaline hits, making stillness feel scary or "wrong"The hard questions you need to ask yourself about where you're chasing intensity instead of actual fulfillmentWhy reclaiming your power of choice is the gateway to deeper presence, creativity, and connectionYour Homework (Because Lisa Always Gives You Homework):Get Honest: Where are you mistaking busyness for productivity? When did you last choose to slow down instead of being forced to?Notice the Good Stuff: What are your moments of real enchantment? The ones that fill you up without requiring achievement? Can you let more of these in?Remember This: You deserve to feel as good as your life looks on paper. But that's a choice you have to make from the inside out.Bottom line: Every single day, you get to choose—to let peace in, to honor what you've built, and to create a life that feels as incredible as it looks. The question is: will you?Ready to Go Deeper?Lisa shares details about working together, including her Reclamation program for women ready to stop performing their lives and start living them, one-on-one coaching, and her upcoming Tulum retreat where you'll integrate peace and ambition in the most beautiful setting.If this episode hit you right in the feels, share it with someone who needs to hear it.
