As brand builder Sally Mueller entered perimenopause and all of the symptoms that go with it, she found that the products available on the market were all things she definitely would not be putting in her body. The menopause market was antiquated and obviously designed by men. She did not see herself in the products offered.So she and her partner in business, Michelle Jacobs, created and started the Womaness brand. Womaness is a high-performance collection of modern menopause products created by women for women that offer symptom solutions from head to toe.  Not only have they worked to create innovative products, but are working hard to build community as they educate and inform as many as possible as a push to Modernize Menopause, something that is long, long overdue.In this episode we discuss Sally's story and the Womaness Brand and Products, as well as, The momentum of the menopause revolutionThe menopause conversationThe realization that menopause is just a transitionThe difficulty of advertising Female Sexual Health ProductsAnti-Aging vs. Pro-AgingThe Menopositivity of being in MenopauseThe menopause legacy we are leaving for our daughtersBeing in charge and in control of your own menopause journeyLearn more about Womaness, take their menopause quiz and start your menopause education at  https://womaness.com/Join The After Party: https://www.facebook.com/groups/womanesstheafterparty/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mywomaness/Purchase Womaness Products on their website or at the following: Target: https://www.target.com/b/womaness/-/N-q643le8b1wiUlta: https://www.ulta.com/brand/womaness?catargetid=330000200002232598&CAPCID=439726527025&CATCI=dsa-967108655007&CAAGID=100201822457&CADevice=c&gclid=CjwKCAjwq5-WBhB7EiwAl-HEkixmCo3NXjg1AmUJ-o3Yt4G-U1PO6P71Mgu1Jg0eIm5AQSapbOr30BoCeyAQAvD_BwEAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Womaness/Homepage/page/4159E1CE-D4AF-4A29-B8B7-7DAB4B68D9EDI love that you have found this podcast and do hope that you will FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE in order to continue your quest for menopositivity.

And that's the common thread through childhood to today that I realized I get my energy from, from sports teams to today is all about teams.”“Finding that flow and where you're really good at is a lot of repetition and to keep trying.”“This is the most magnetic energy of a culture I have ever experienced in my career. I absolutely can't tell you how proud I am of this team.”“Fix the fundamentals before you try and do other things.”“I don't think you have to compromise on what you put in your body. You can have natural clean ingredients to give you the best performance.”“Once you're there, you've gotta be thinking what's my next evolution to make it better and stronger. Then of course you want to figure out how to extract that value.”“All of us can do almost anything to be clear. It doesn't mean we're all going to be great at anything.”“​​If there's one thing that people need to take away, the fundamental thing that the best leaders have in businesses and sports teams for that matter is helping people feel valued, like ‘I want to matter.”“It's always about the we, versus the I.”“You need to care a lot and you need to dig in and you need to spend the time.”“It's harder than it looks. It can be an absolute grind. So you need to believe with conviction in what you're doing. You need to be flexible and adaptable as you get new information. So it's going to shift what you thought was this line to get to a certain point is not going to be the pattern. It's going to be something completely different, but that's okay. You believe in your idea and you've got to be ready for the grind. And you've got to find joy in that.”“CEO is the knower of all, the expert of nothing.”

If there was one area that I could go back and time in and change in my life, it would be preparing for maternity leave when I had my first son. As a recent grad with student loans and no savings, taking 3-month maternity leave wasn't something that I could afford. Unfortunately, the United States did not have a federal paid maternity leave like other countries like Estonia, Portugal, and New Zealand. As a new mom I wanted to be home with my baby, but the reality was I had to go back to work to make sure that my baby was provided for. The sad part is many moms experience this. I was able to take 6-week maternity leave, but I have heard of moms going back to work as soon as 2 weeks after having a baby.Instead of wishing that I could go back and change those days, I want other expecting moms to know that you plan and prepare your ideal maternity leave. You don't have to rush back to work because you have to. In today's episode, my guest Sue and Amy are going to help us learn how we can do just that. In this episode, Sue and Amy share:What parental leave looks like in this country todayWhere moms-to-be need to start to negotiate this major life and career transitionThe top three things expecting parents taking parental leave should do to protect their current and future careerThings that parents should keep in mind after parental leaveIf you are an expecting mom, dad, or know some that are, this episode is definitely for you.

Debbie talks with Jeff Hamaoui, Modern Elder Academy Co-founder and Chief Education and Innovation Officer, about getting through the "messy middle" of this pandemic transition year as we all wonder what comes next.If you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while you’ve heard her mention MEA and you might have heard her interviews with founder Chip Conley. You'll recall that she's been to this remarkably beautiful and healing place in Baja California, Mexico. MEA is a program, or an academy, where you focus on re-thinking what it means to get older and  how to become a wise, or modern, elder.This winter Debbie joined MEA’s online program, Navigating Midlife Transitions. She felt acutely that she needed time and space to reflect on - and make sense of - this pandemic “gap” year. And that she needed to do it with a group of like-minded individuals. Jeff’s guidance through the program  was truly provocative. So she called him to dive a little deeper.Aren’t we all, this year, in the middle of a transition that isn’t complete yet? Jeff, and others who have studied transitions (most notably William Bridges), call this the "messy middle." It’s a period that’s not easy, or comfortable, to get through. The old has ended but the new has not yet started or at least it’s not clear what the new will be. And not just for society but for each of us individually.Debbie and Jeff talk about:Why Jeff's interest in transitionsWhat is a modern elderThe anatomy of a transitionThe concept of messy middles and how to get through themWhy a growth mindset is importantPattern interruption - why you need to go to a place to rethink aging and midlifeAt the end of the episode, listen for the sound of birdsong and water trickling from a fountain as Debbie reports back from a recent visit to the MEA campus in Baja with her husband Sam. Mentioned in this episode or useful:Jeff Hamaoui Co-founder of MEAModern Elder AcademyChip Conley Founder of MEAChristine Sperber Co-founder of MEAKari Henley Director, MEA OnlineNavigating Midlife Transitions, MEA’s Online Program (enrollment open now)Personal Values Online TestWisdom at Work: the Making of a Modern Elder by Chip Conley (Currency 2018)Managing Transitions, 25th Anniversary Edition by William Bridges and Susan Bridges (Da Capo Lifelong Books 2017)Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck (Ballantine Books 2007)The Gap Year Podcast S1 – Ep. 6: Chip Conley on Growing Wise at Modern Elder Academy (Modern Elders, Part 1)The Gap Year Podcast S1 – Ep. 7: Four Different Decades on Transition and Reinvention (Modern Elders, Part 2)El Pescadero, Baja California Sur Note from DebbieI hope you enjoyed this podcast.

Pastor's Notes: Romans 4:13-22 NKJV13 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect, 15 because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be [a]sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all 17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”INTRODUCTIONGood morning, everybody!I hope you’re excited to be here today. I know I sure am. I love the holidays, but I’m certainly glad to be getting back into the routine of life. I loved the Christmas season as we really focused on the personhood of Jesus Christ and His power to save humanity.Next week, I’l be starting a brand new series entitled “First Things First”, that will propel us in to the new year. But today, on this last Sunday of December, I want to talk to you about faith. I’ve entitled this message “Living Above See Level”.ILLUSTRATIONJanuary 1 marks a point on our Western calendar called “New Year”, and it has become a day where people traditionally have made some goals and adjustments to their lives. We’ve all heard them.- Lose weight- Start a business- Get out of debt- Read the Bible throughYou name it, and people have tried it.Many have succeeded ,while many have failed. I wont ask you to raise your hand to share if you made your resolution last year or not.TRANSITIONThe truth is, many of us have goals and ambitions in life, but what if I told you that God didn’t create you just to be mundane or to merely exist?What if I told you that God wanted you to live an adventurous life of faith? Well, He does!And I’m telling you, you have to think bigger in this new year!- Some of you are stuck relationally- Some of you are stuck financially- You're at a dead end job, working for someone else dream, someone else’s vision.- You are hand to mouth and check to check - Some of you are stuck spiritually- You are doubting God’s call- And Gasp.....We can even be stuck as a church - Living on yesterday’s vision- Living on outdated methodologyWe can become paralyzed by fear, discouraged by circumstances, and held captive by our senses.It’s time to believe God and to life by faith! That is, to live by more than what we can see.BACKGROUNDIn our passage, we are told about a name named Abraham, who the Bible does call “The Father of Our Faith”.Abraham was chosen by God to start the nation of Israel. However, we have an issue: Abram is old and Sarai is barren! That doesn't make for a good situation!Yet, Abram received a promise from God.APPLICATION1. Faith receives the promise (vs. 13-16)- We receive the promise not by works. - We receive the promise not by the law. - We receive it by faith.2. Faith proclaims the promise (vs. 17-18)- Faith proclaims the promise. - “He called those things that be not as though they were.”- Don’t forget that God changed His name from Abram to Abraham. Abraham means “father of many nations”.- That means that long before He had kids, God was speaking over him. Every time someone called his name, they were prophesying.- It’s not lying to say what God says.- That’s why Joel 3:10 NKJV says “Let the weak say I am strong”3. Faith rejects present circumstances (vs. 19)- We often forget that there is a time frame between the promise and the manifestation.- From the time God first called Abraham (i.e. Abram) in Haran, to the time when his “son of promise” Isaac was born, nearly three decades went by. Abram left Haran for the “Promised Land” when he was 75 years old, full of faith and the zeal of a new recruit into God's kingdom.- That means there were many mornings to wake up doubting. Many days to keep “looking”, but he decided to live ABOVE “see” level”.- He wasn’t weak in faith. He didn’t consider his own body being dead. He didn’t consider the deadness of Sara’s womb.- He did not waver. “One morning God will, one morning He’s not.The next day, maybe He will........James 1:6-8 NKJV But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.4. Faith builds our confidence (vs. 20-21)- He gave God glory. Faith always praises God in advance. - He was persuaded that God was able.5. Faith pleases God (vs.22)- He was made righteous due to his unwavering faith.- Hebrews 11:6 NKJV But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a reward er of those who diligently seek Him.CONCLUSIONWhat you have to understand about God is that payday isn’t always on Friday, but there’s always a reward for our faith. He is faithful. Do you trust Him?

This morning, as Pastor Brad teaches us about The Power Of Partnership, we finish the Driven By Eternity series. Pastor's Notes: TEXTPhilippians 4:10-19 NKJV10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your[a] care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to [b]be abased, and I know how to [c]abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through [d]Christ who strengthens me.14 Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress. 15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. 16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. 18 Indeed I [e]have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. INTRODUCTIONGood morning, everybody!I’m super excited to be here with morning. Thanks to everyone who has continued to keep my family in your prayers during this difficult time.It is with great joy that we’re anticipating our upcoming FIRE Conference with Christopher Alam. As we have shared before, please invite your lost loved ones and those you know who are ill and need a touch from the Lord. It starts THIS Friday night at 7 pm. We hope you will be here.Today, I will be finishing this series with a message entitled “The Power Of Partnership”.ILLUSTRATION Many of you are familiar with start up businesses. If you look around you, everything had a beginning. Starbucks, Wal Mart, Apple, Samsung, Chevrolet, etc.The one thing that shares a commonality among all of these is stock. Most companies today that are thriving have astronomical stock prices.If you would have bought into Apple and Wal Mart in the 80’s and Amazon in the late 90’s, you would be a millionaire by now. Today, a single stock comes at a hefty price.However, the thing about stock is that buying stock is investing in a product. In essence, you are getting ownership into the company.When the company wins, every shareholder wins. When the company goes broke, well, everyone goes broke. TRANSITIONThe great think about the Kingdom of God is it isn’t like that. It isn’t going broke, nor will it ever!Yet, when we give into the kingdom, it’s like investing stock into a booming company.Now, before you get all sideways with me, I’m not trying to tell you that you give to get rich. That is totally the wrong motive for doing anything.We give out of an obedience to God and His word. We also give because of our love for His work!What we do for eternity is literally the only thing that will last for eternity.Yet, just like a stock can pay out, our dividend is souls yes, but also many other blessings! God blesses those who bless the kingdom.BACKGROUNDIn our text, the Apostle Paul is writing to the church at Philippi.According to history, the Apostle Paul founded the church on his second missionary journey.He actually wrote this letter to thank this church for partnering with his ministry.It’s been told throughout the years that a church will often take on the personality of it’s leader. Here, it’s apparent that Paul imparted a missionary spirit and a heart of generosity into his people.Praise God!There’s a blessing that comes when people catch a heart for the work of God.Let’s look at our text APPLICATION1. It keeps giving (vs. 10)- I want you to notice that Paul said it “flourished again”.- This implies that their giving had continued to be a blessing.- It likely not only continued to help him spiritually, but I’m sure it helped him emotionally. It helps people to know that others are “with them”.- When we give to missions, we are “a part of the team”.- It’s a great thing to know people love you and are supporting you.2. It’s a Blessing (vs. 14)- Notice that the words, “shared in my distress”.- Literally, they lifted a burden.- Week after week, month after month, I get requests from missionaries. I wish I could say yes to all of them. The number one thing they have need of is not only prayer, but resources.- There are projects that need completed and people that need to be reached.- Sure, the Gospel is free. Plane tickets, Bibles, vehicles, etc. are not. 3. It’s Partnership (vs. 15-17)- The biggest thing I wish I could communicate with people is that when we are giving to ministry, we aren’t giving it people. Yes, it goes into the hands of people, but it goes into the hands of God.- It’s not just giving. That’s what the church has taught all these years. Notice Paul said giving AND receiving,- They sent consistent aid to Paul.- He told them it was going into their account. Did you know that you have a heavenly account? How do you put stuff in it? Giving!- An account is meant to put stuff in AND to take stuff out.- Your blessing account gets full when you’re a giver and generous towards the work of God. 4. It’s Sacrifice (vs. 18)- I’m not sure how much they gave, but Paul recognized it as a sacrifice.- You only sacrifice when something is valuable. If you’re putting $2 in the missions offering but paying $100 on a cell phone, thats not sacrifice. Oh come on, somebody!- I’m not trying to beat you up. I’m trying to let you know that God blesses us when we truly are generous. Notice was Paul said in 2 Corinthians 9:6 “But this I say, He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. “- Notice there are only two levels of giving with God: Sparingly or bountifully. Or as a I like to say it, stingy or generous.- Don’t be mistaken. The amount doesn’t determine which one that is, but rather proportion and attitude. 5. It’s Security (vs. 19)- Notice Paul starts off the verse with “and”. That means it’s connected.- This is a verse that is often taken as a promise isolated and out of it’s context.- However, the promise of God “supplying all your need according to His riches in glory....” is directly connected to missions giving.- Point blank? When you take care of God’s business, you don’t have to fret and worry. People are all financially messed up when they put themselves first, and then maybe if anything is left, they might give a little to God.- No! I’m challenging each of us to be generous when it comes to giving, but especially to missions!Why? CONCLUSIONBecause we are driven by eternity! Souls Souls Souls!We have to pray, we have to go, and we have to give!
