The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days   Let me guess. Your eyes aren't even fully open, and your brain is already in a sprint. You've got emails dinging, texts stacking, and notifications shouting for your attention before you've even had your first sip of coffee. Welcome to survival mode. I've been there, and I know how overwhelming it can be.   We wake up and immediately start reacting—scrolling, checking, answering, spinning. And it's not just the big stuff. Somehow, that group chat about gluten-free brownies feels urgent. The world starts talking before we do, and most days, it sets the tone.   But after years of living like that—mentally fried, emotionally scattered—I realized something: the calm, grounded women I admired weren't wired differently. They were choosing differently.   They took charge of their day by setting the tone before the world had a chance to. This simple act of setting a morning intention empowered them to navigate their day with purpose and clarity.   They chose peace over panic, scripture over screens, and purpose over pings. And in that choice, they found a sense of freedom that changed everything.   Today, we're discussing a single decision that could transform the way you present yourself in every room you enter. Living in a constant state of alert was never our destiny. Let's rediscover the relief of quiet.

Christy Grant invites you to boot up and get your two step on with Kickin' Country SB. Did you know country line dancing is back in a big way in 2025? Christy did - and does - as a dance instructor herself, this is one of her life-long passions. She's learned that in a world dominated by digital interactions, people are actually craving face-to-face social experiences. Country line dancing classes offer a fun and welcoming environment to meet up with friends and make new friends, bond over music as we trip over our own two left feet to make complete fools out of ourselves in the funnest way possible. And as Christy will tell you, you don't even need a partner because everyone who shows up is your partner. So line up and giddy up, we're takin' to the streets to dance it up! ______________________ Steve is busy at work on the third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES.

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days. Today I'm joined by Amy Seiffert—pastor, author, seminary student, and mama who's juggling ministry, motherhood, and manuscripts like a boss (and with a whole lot of grace). She has lived through seasons that refined her and taught her what perseverance truly looks like. And lucky us—she's bringing all that wisdom to the table. Ever wondered what the road to becoming a published author looks like—not the Instagram-filtered version, but the gritty, God-led, faith-tested one? Amy's pulling back the curtain and telling it like it is. We're diving into the world of traditional publishing. What's amazing? What's not so glamorous? And what's that one thing nobody mentions before your book hits the shelves?  Amy's insights are invaluable, and she's sharing the highs, the hard truths, and the hope behind it all. You won't want to miss a word. You might even want to listen twice.   Timestamps:  (2:38) - How Self-Publishing Opened the Door to a Traditional Book Deal (8:53) - The Time Blocking Strategy That Transformed Her Weekly Workflow (14:03) - The Biggest Mistakes Writers Make (and How to Avoid Them) (20:29) - If She Had to Start Over, What Would She Do?

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days.   Let me ruffle a few feathers real quick: Hard work isn't the issue. Direction is. If pure hustle were the magic ticket to success, every deadline-smashing, all-nighter-pulling powerhouse would be running the show.   But we're not. Instead, we're grinding like a one-legged cat in a sandbox (seriously, think about that visual) and still wondering why it feels like we're going nowhere fast.   You've achieved a great deal in your career, and on paper, it appears impressive. But deep down, you might feel like you're climbing the wrong wall. Maybe you've built a successful business, but it's draining you. Or perhaps you're juggling multiple responsibilities, hoping they won't come crashing down.   It's not about being lazy or falling behind. It's about being caught in the burnout loop, a cycle where ambition meets exhaustion and clarity seems to vanish.   Today, we're naming that loop, calling it what it is, and flipping the script. Clarity isn't at the bottom of another to-do list—it's forged when you decide that burnout isn't your badge of honor anymore. You have the power to change your narrative. Let's go deep. Let's get free. You in?
