"Before you try to tell your kid what to do, you've got to look at yourself. You've got to really reflect on the things that you're doing." In this episode, Heather sits down with two remarkable young adults who have been part of her life in different ways: her 21-year-old son, Logan, and Brooklyn, a longtime family friend she's had the privilege of watching grow into adulthood. Woven together with her reflections, these conversations offer an honest look at what our maturing kids are craving from the adults around them and what happens when we choose to guide rather than control. They explore the lasting impact of feeling seen, the tension between protecting our children and preparing them for life, and the ways our own fears, expectations, and unresolved stories can shape the next generation without us realizing it. Whether you're raising young children, parenting adult kids, mentoring someone, or simply reflecting on your own upbringing, this episode is an invitation to listen with fresh ears. Sometimes the greatest lessons about leadership, connection, and emotional maturity come from the very people we've been trying to teach all along. What to listen for: ☑️ When children live on their own and learn what "no one's coming to save you" means ☑️ Embracing uncertainty and what it looks like to have a safe support system in life ☑️ The privilege of suffering and how it helps us heal and grow more quickly "Until I faced my shit and realized all the things that I need to overcome, all the overwhelming feelings and the fear and just all my shit, that was when I started my journey of getting through it and slowly chipping away at some big issues." ☑️ No matter where you go, you still have to face yourself and work through your shit ☑️ How the current systems are manipulating young adults into focusing on money ☑️ Experiencing contrast and navigating the projection of fear as a parent "At the end of the day, there's not one parent that's great. Parents fuck up. We're all human beings. We're all learning. It's just a matter of how much you choose to learn." ☑️ How getting in touch with your emotions can change you and your entire life ☑️ Dropping our conditioning to open up more possibilities in our lives and careers ☑️ Understanding the only control we truly have in uncertain situations "Just take the action. Like a game, if you take the action, it will happen, but you just have to have that consistency. You have to push yourself. You can't half-ass it." ☑️ Knowing when to show support and when to hold your children accountable ☑️ Being present for your kids without judging their lives or projecting onto them ☑️ The importance of aligning your environment with who you want to be *** For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me inside the Energetic Time Management Accelerator, a focused experience designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life.

What if your menstrual cycle wasn't just about fertility, but was actually revealing something profound about your health, your identity, and even your purpose? In this inspiring episode, we welcome Caitlin Estes, fertility care practitioner, founder of Woven Natural Fertility Care, and author of Woven Well. Caitlin shares how her own journey into fertility awareness transformed the way she understood the female body—not simply as a biological system, but as a beautiful design that speaks to a woman's dignity, health, and capacity for relationship. Together, we explore why understanding the menstrual cycle is about so much more than tracking fertility. Caitlin explains how hormones are not problems to suppress but important messengers that reveal overall health. Rather than viewing the body as something to "fix" or optimize, women can learn to appreciate the wisdom built into their cycles and seek care that addresses root causes instead of masking symptoms. The conversation also dives into the growing movement toward restorative reproductive medicine and why more women are searching for alternatives to hormonal birth control when dealing with painful periods, PCOS, irregular cycles, or infertility. Caitlin shares powerful stories from women whose lives were transformed, not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually, when they began understanding their bodies through fertility awareness. We also discuss the importance of community, education, and honest conversations between women. Whether you're a teenager learning about your cycle for the first time, a mother raising daughters, navigating infertility, or simply wanting to better understand your hormones, this episode offers encouragement and hope. You'll walk away with a renewed appreciation for the incredible design of the female body and practical inspiration to begin paying closer attention to what your hormones are communicating every month. In this episode you'll learn: Why your menstrual cycle is a vital sign of health The difference between suppressing symptoms and treating root causes How fertility awareness empowers women in every stage of life The connection between physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being Why conversations about women's health can change future generations Join us for this thoughtful conversation celebrating the beauty, purpose, and extraordinary design of every woman's Hormone Genius.

A flat white earned Dr. Rhonda Evans an immediate nod of approval from Nicola before becoming the perfect springboard for a conversation about Australia, curiosity, and the unexpected opportunities that can shape an entire career.Rhonda didn't get her first passport until she was 28 years old. She had no idea that one long flight to Australia would change the course of her life. In this episode of Counsel Brew, she reflects on how growing up as a first-generation college student in rural Ohio eventually led her halfway around the world, proving that some of life's biggest opportunities begin with simply saying yes.Rhonda also reflects on starting her career as a lawyer before realizing her true calling was in higher education. She shares stories about teaching at The University of Texas, creating a study abroad program centered on the Great Barrier Reef, and helping students build confidence by stepping outside their comfort zones. Woven throughout the conversation are thoughtful reflections on curiosity, lifelong learning, and why the best career advice doesn't always involve having a plan. Sometimes it's simply being willing to follow where your interests lead.From Australian coffee culture and long-haul flights to an unforgettable "stupid shit" story about her time as a prosecutor handling paternity investigations, the conversation moves effortlessly between the lighthearted and the unexpected. What begins as a humorous look back at one of the more unusual chapters of Rhonda's early legal career ultimately reveals a pivotal turning point, helping her realize that while she appreciated the law, her true passion is political science, higher education, and helping students discover where their own curiosity might lead.In This EpisodeGrowing up as a first-generation college student in rural OhioHow one opportunity to study in Australia changed the course of her careerWhy she left the practice of law to pursue teaching and researchCreating a study abroad program focused on the Great Barrier ReefHelping students build confidence through international experiencesWhat makes Australia so fascinating, from its politics and conservation efforts to its unique cultureHow curiosity became the compass for an unexpected careerFlat whites!!About Dr. Rhonda EvansDr. Rhonda Evans is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Government at The University of Texas at Austin and Director of the Australia, New Zealand & Pacific Studies Initiative.

Dana Kippel believes the substance behind reality has a feeling, and that once you learn to work with it, life stops happening to you and starts responding to you. Plasma is the fourth state of matter and 99.9% of the visible universe, but her claim goes further: beyond the material sits a multidimensional, sentient plasma that mystics have called ether, orgone, chi, and the force. It is the cosmic mirror, the divine feminine counterpart to consciousness, and it reflects your subconscious straight back to you. Understand that, and fear, heartbreak, and the same painful patterns become information you can finally reprogram.In this conversation, Dana and Aubrey map a full cosmology, from the quark-gluon plasma of the first instant to the dimensional layers of the void, the subconscious, and the higher self. Dana shares the meditation that changed her life, the two winged beings she and the Bledsoes witnessed on a driveway, and how plasmoids, auras, and UFO sightings may all be the same phenomenon wearing whatever shape our era can imagine. From there it turns practical: how to plant a surrendered intention and let reality reveal something beyond your wildest dreams, how to revisit past lives through the body, why you cannot trick the karmic feedback of plasma no matter how clandestine you are, and why redemption is always available. Woven through it is Dana's own story of addiction, adoption, and grief, and how the darkest caves became the very thing that let her guide others out.If you have ever felt something is missing, this episode offers a different answer: you were never abandoned, you are held in a living, creative field that wants to support you, and the magic you are looking for begins the moment you remember your own power.| Dana Kippel |►Website | https://www.danakippel.com/►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dana.thealien/?hl=en►YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaDgEYwfJOKMduoLGlXA6NQ►Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/DanaKippelActs/Gets Dana Kippel's books | https://www.danakippel.com/pages/booksThis episode is sponsored by►Metal Mark Gold Aurum Collectable Art | https://mtlmrk.com/►Korrect Life | https://korrectlife.com/| Aubrey Marcus |►Website | https://www.aubreymarcus.com/►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/aubreymarcus►Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/AubreyMarcus/►X | https://x.com/aubreymarcus►Substack: https://www.aubreymarcus.com/blogs/substack► Love To The Seventh Power: https://chakaruna.com/collections/booksSubscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast:►iTunes | https://apple.co/2lMZRCn ►Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO ►IHeartRadio | https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3 ►Partner with the Aubrey Marcus Podcast | https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/booking

He was sixteen when it happened. A bright light, an electrical charge through his whole body, and the unmistakable feeling of levitating off his bed. What James remembers next reads like a nightmare he cannot wake from: metallic walls, a room that felt evil and perverted, and a gestation tube with a small body floating inside. When morning came, he found a hard bump the size of a dime pushed out from the inside of his wrist. He asked his sister if she had anything like it. She did not, but she saw his, and a decade later she still remembers it.James buried the whole thing as a strange dream until the memories came rushing back last year. In this episode, he tells Nate and Luke the full account and lays out why he no longer believes these beings are neutral visitors or simple demons, but something committing very real crimes on a plane we barely understand. Woven through it all is the deception he keeps circling back to, a dream where a room full of people declared that Jesus was an alien and the true messiah was on his way. If you have ever wondered where abduction and spiritual warfare meet, this conversation goes straight to the seam. This episode is just the beginning.

"When I take on a task, I do it with my whole heart," Elena Rodriguez on how she's traveled through her entire life, but specifically, on starting Alumbra Cellars (Alumbra means "to shine"). Elena's story is right out of a good book that you just can't put down. Her story is one of hard work, tenacity, immigrant grit, and the idea of taking on a job with your whole heart and finding out you really love it. Woven throughout - it's a story of family, celebrating family and the hard work put in, and passed down to each generation. Elena talks about the journey her father took, a farmer through and through, season after season, looking for work before finally settling in the Pacific Northwest. He wasn't a wine drinker, but he had a vision in the vines and a dream to plant grapes. While this interview is somewhat focused on Alumbra Cellars and how it came to be... at the heart is the family that made it happen.

Rest to Return is a podcast for a restless world. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is your host. This series is rooted in Shabbat, an ancient Jewish practice that teaches us how to belong to time. Here, rest is a sacred rhythm woven into who we are. We continue by gathering around a single question: Who do we become when we rest? Lecha Dodi is the song that ends Kabbalat Shabbat (the service that helps us transition into Shabbat) before we move into the Ma'ariv prayer service. The idea that Creator finished creation on the seventh day comes from Genesis 2:2. Tranquility, satisfaction, calm, and quiet being created on the seventh day comes from Genesis Rabbah 10:9. The idea of creating change that's “slow, deep, and irreversible” comes from artist and activist Ricardo Levins Morales. I learned the mussar practice of clarifying our ratzon by asking “what do I want? What do I really want?” from Rabbi David Jaffe of Kirva. You can learn more in Chapter 1 of his book, Changing the World from the Inside Out: A Jewish Approach to Personal and Social Change. This quote has been misattributed to Courtney Carver. It is instead referenced by Carver in her book, Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less and Live the Life You Actually You Want. The quotation itself comes from Psychologist Nicola Jane Hobbs who teaches, “Instead of asking, 'Have I worked hard enough to deserve rest?' ask, 'Have I rested enough to do my most loving, meaningful work?'” Enjoy the live version of Lay it Down, Let it Go here. Check out the Rest to Return webpage for photos, info about the Rest to Return retreat, and more! This episode is brought to you by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. Rest to Return exists because we believe slowing down is a spiritual act. IJS believes that too. For over two decades, IJS has been helping people go deeper, through Jewish mindfulness meditation, contemplative prayer, sacred text study, and embodied practice. Their offerings range from online courses and silent retreats to immersive cohort programs for seekers of all experience levels, clergy, and spiritual leaders who are ready to live and lead from a more grounded place. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is part of IJS's core faculty, and the wisdom you'll hear in this series is very much in that spirit. If this podcast is stirring something in you, IJS is a place to go further.

✅ The Green Impact Report Quick take: Dave Hubka has spent 20+ years turning "up to code" into "why would we settle for that?" — and his approach of building sustainability directly into the spec (instead of waiting for a client to ask) is a playbook every green building professional can steal.

A serial killer who kept his victims' heads, a woman held under a waterbed for seven years, and a phantom passenger who vanishes from the back seat — the open road has taken more than its share.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/HitchhikingHorrorsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/29xmnbkaFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The open road is a beautiful place where you can make friends that you'd otherwise never meet and have adventures that will change your life. But there are also extreme dangers to traveling with strangers on highways and backroads. No matter how trustworthy or well-intentioned a driver might seem, it's nearly impossible to tell if they are actually a predator or murderer, preying upon innocent hitchhikers. Creepy, true hitchhiker stories can make you think twice before picking up that stranger at the side of the road - or trying to "thumb it" yourself.LISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2021Weird Darkness gathers the true horrors of the open road and the ghosts said to haunt it, moving from real hitchhiker murders across the United States and abroad to the phantom passengers who vanish from the back seat before the ride is over.It opens with the account of a newly married couple driving through a rainstorm who stop for a soaked hitchhiker, drop him at a crossroads, and later break down on a dark stretch of highway, only for the wife to wake to police floodlights and the sight of the same man atop their car with a machete over her husband's dismembered body, an escaped prison inmate cut down by gunfire moments after she runs.From there the show turns to a long run of documented and reported cases. Jacci Ansell-Lamb was last seen hitchhiking from London toward Manchester in May 1970 and found sexually assaulted and strangled with electrical wire outside Knutsford, England, a killing police have linked to serial murderer Peter Tobin though no suspect was ever charged. A German traveler on foot near Timaru, New Zealand had all his belongings stolen by a man in a white Honda in February 2016. Along Australia's outback near the cattle town of Hughenden, as many as twelve hitchhikers including eighteen-year-old Catherine Graham and thirty-two-year-old Tony Jones turned up dead over roughly two decades on a stretch dubbed the Highway of Death, the murders still unsolved. On May 19, 1977, twenty-year-old Colleen Stan was hitchhiking to a friend's birthday in California when Cameron Hooker picked her up and held her as a sex slave for seven years, keeping her in a box beneath his waterbed until his wife helped her escape in 1984 and Hooker drew a 104-year sentence.Next comes the case of Edmund Kemper, the six-foot-nine "Co-ed Killer" born December 18, 1948, who shot his grandmother and grandfather at fifteen, was released from a psychiatric hospital into his mother's care, and between May 1972 and February 1973 picked up hitchhiking female students, killed and decapitated them, and had sex with the corpses before murdering his mother with a claw hammer on Good Friday 1973 and phoning the same local police he drank with to confess. Woven among these are firsthand accounts shared online, among them a driver whose kindness reportedly talked a would-be killer out of his plan, a New Zealand couple who vanished in 1989 near Thames leading to the disputed conviction of David Tamihere, and a backpacker in Austria who fled a trucker's advances barefoot at a gas station.From there the episode moves deeper into unsolved and predatory cases. Between 1972 and 1973 the Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders claimed at least seven women in Sonoma County, California, beginning with nineteen-year-old Kim Wendy Allen found bound and strangled in a creek bed on March 5, 1972, and including twelve-year-olds Maureen Sterling and Yvonne Weber, thirteen-year-old Lori Lee Kursa, fourteen-year-old Carolyn Davis, and twenty-three-year-old Theresa Walsh, the case never closed. The segment also gathers the crimes of clown-costumed killer John Wayne Gacy, trucker Keith Hunter Jesperson who dragged one victim beneath his rig, photographer Joseph Naso the "Alphabet Killer," the spree killers Douglas Gretzler and Willie Steelman, and sadistic trucker Ben Rhoades, caught when an Arizona trooper found a shackled woman inside his cab.The episode closes on the phantom hitchhiker, tracing the folk formula of the vanishing passenger before laying out the strongest real-world cases. One belongs to Maria Roux, killed on the N9 near Uniondale, South Africa on Good Friday 1968, whose specter was reported by driver Anton Le Grange in 1976 and motorcyclist Dawie Van Jaarsveld in 1978, her rear door seen opening and closing by a following officer. Another is "Lydia" of Jamestown, North Carolina, the white-gowned figure sighted at a railroad underpass since the 1920s and possibly rooted in the 1920 traffic death of Annie Jackson on the High Point Road. The final account belongs to carpet fitter Roy Fulton of Dunstable, England, who picked up a silent young man on Station Road near Stanbridge on October 12, 1979, turned to offer him a cigarette, and found the seat empty, a story he repeated without change on Arthur C. Clarke's World of Strange Powers in 1985.

Shiur 14 in R' Nachman Fried's heart-share on Rebbe Nachman's tale of the Lost Princess (Aveidas Bas Melech). This one turns on the avodah of the viceroy's year of yearning — and what it asks of us. It opens with viduy: not "confession" but admission — ashamnu, bagadnu — saying it plainly and starting brand new, because teshuvah is never about what will be; its whole power is right now. From there: the astonishing reach of a single hirhur teshuvah, one fleeting thought of return that you think did nothing, while far away it moves worlds; and how to meet failure not as proof to despair over but as the very place teshuvah begins — to fall and not collapse into yiush. At its heart is the Bas Melech's instruction to the viceroy: choose a place, sit for a year, and do nothing but yearn, long, and want her back. Because the end and the beginning are one — and the only real foolishness, the Rebbe teaches, is that we stop yearning, stop longing, stop wanting the very things our soul once wanted with its whole strength. Woven through with personal story and the tale itself, it closes on a single word: Ashreinu. In this shiur: Viduy as admission — and why teshuvah is only ever "now," a new hatchala The far-reaching power of one hirhur teshuvah Meeting failure without falling into yiush — not running from the fall The viceroy's year of yearning: choosing a place and longing to free her "The end and the beginning are together" The foolishness of letting the yearning die — and how to want again #LostPrincess #AveidasBasMelech #RebbeNachman #Breslov #Teshuvah #HirhurTeshuvah #Yearning #Yiush #Uman #JewishWisdom #Chassidus #NachmanFried

Focus: What happens when people with different backgrounds, histories, personalities, and convictions are brought together by Jesus? The early Church is about to find out. As questions arise and tensions emerge, believers learn that unity does not come from everyone being the same. It comes from sharing the same Savior. Guided by the Spirit and grounded in the Gospel, the Church becomes a community marked by humility, generosity, sacrifice, and love. In a world constantly divided by differences, God's people are called to demonstrate a better way. This week invites us to see the Church not merely as an organization, but as a Spirit-woven family where Christ is at the center and every member has a place. Acts 15; Romans 12
Focus: The Gospel refuses to stay put. As persecution scatters believers and unlikely doors begin to open, God pushes His Church beyond familiar borders and comfortable assumptions. An Ethiopian traveler hears the Good News. A Roman centurion receives the Holy Spirit. Again and again, God surprises His people by showing them just how far His grace reaches. The Church discovers that God's mission is always bigger than its expectations. This week invites us to follow the Spirit beyond our own limitations and rejoice that no person is beyond the reach of Christ's saving love. Acts 8, 10
Focus: The promised Holy Spirit descends upon the disciples, transforming fearful followers into bold witnesses of Jesus Christ. Through the preaching of the Gospel, people from many nations hear the mighty works of God in their own languages and are gathered into one body through faith and baptism. Pentecost reminds us that the Church is born not through human effort or strategy, but through the power of God's Spirit working through His Word. This week invites us to receive anew the Spirit's gifts and to trust that God still creates faith and transforms lives through the Gospel today. Acts 2

Each touchpoint creates an opportunity for a customer impression. However, very few owners, or executives, have ever counted the number of touchpoints in an average transaction. With that said, it's hard to manage customer satisfaction if you can't identify and measure satisfaction. Impressions are good and bad, and research shows it takes about 10-12 positive impressions to erase one bad impression. Maybe it's time to start charting, training and managing touchpoints?

If you've met Donna, you've probably experienced her contagious joy firsthand. She has one of the biggest hearts and a smile to match. You may know her as the owner of Reve Salon in La Grange, but this glass-half-full friend hasn't had an easy journey.In November of 2025, Donna shared her story at the Woven banquet. She talked about hitting rock bottom about 20 years before when she lost both her parents within a short period of time. She described the slow process of rebuilding her life as a young adult dealing with unimaginable grief, and she also reflected on how she first connected with Woven when a friend invited her—and why she hasn't missed a Bible study since.Donna once told me she's read countless self-help books, but nothing has healed her soul like the Word of God. More than anything, this episode is an invitation to dive in and join us.

Test it out.”“I think what I've learned too is just it's not about me at all - it's about God. And it's about what He's done and his faithfulness. Just test it out. Really, what does it hurt?”Show Notes:Psalm 1:2-3Psalm 34:18FB: @ Re've Salon, @ Donna Jo Webb-Wessels
What if God sees every chaotic, knotted thread of your life—and still calls it beautiful? Pastor Brandon opens Psalm 139 with a striking image: the back of a tapestry loom, tangled and confusing, yet hiding something spectacular on the other side.

The team talks with Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella, who gather to celebrate the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary. The participants emphasize the symbolic importance of the American flag, recounting personal and political struggles over the right to display large banners as a testament to unapologetic national pride. Beyond symbolism, the conversation champions the meritocracy of the American dream, with speakers sharing immigrant success stories and expressing a "bullish" outlook on a capitalist economy that rewards hard work. Woven throughout the discussion is a staunch defense of Donald Trump's character, as the guests contrast his personal loyalty and patriotism against what they perceive as the "dopamine rage" and weaponized lies of the far-left media.

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Carl takes listeners on a bold, unforgettable journey through the people, ideas, and moments that shaped the United States. For the sake of brevity, this special episode traces only a sample of America's heroes, innovators, and cultural icons. From the Enlightenment ideals that inspired the Founding Fathers—Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin—to the defining leadership of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the episode explores how liberty, courage, and conviction forged a nation. Lincoln's leadership during the Civil War, and the enduring power of the Gettysburg Address, reveal how America's moral compass was tested—and strengthened. The story expands beyond politics to honor cultural and humanitarian trailblazers, including Elvis Presley, Julia Ward Howe, and Clara Barton, whose influence reshaped music, social reform, and humanitarian care. Modern leadership comes into focus through Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan, and Donald Trump, examining moments that redefined America's role at home and on the world stage. The episode also celebrates American creativity and innovation—from Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, and Taylor Swift, to inventors like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs, whose ideas transformed everyday life. Sports legends such as Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Serena and Venus Williams, and Shohei Ohtani embody the spirit of perseverance and excellence that continues to inspire generations. Woven throughout is the power of storytelling, honoring literary voices like Mark Twain, Maya Angelou, and Ernest Hemingway, whose words helped shape the American identity. As the nation approaches 250 years of independence, this episode stands as both a tribute and a challenge: honor the past, protect the principles that unite us, and take part in shaping what comes next.

Today's gospel is Jesus telling his followers how good it is to welcome others, bringing them closer to the Kingdom of God. Pastor Michelle expands on this by giving examples of how welcoming, or being welcomed, makes us all part of the community we share.

This conversation goes somewhere most relationship content doesn't: the specific weight of being the one who always has to hold it together — not because you're a man, but because you look like one. Ezee talks about what it cost her to suppress her emotions to fit a role her partners assigned based on how she presents, the moment she realized she'd been leaking that suppression as rage instead of tears, and how her relationship with her fiancée Natalie became the first place she felt genuinely safe to be a full woman. Woven through all of it is a double-proposal story that ends up being the most precise illustration possible of what it looks like when someone refuses to let the person they love go unseen. This one is for anyone who has ever been handed a script they didn't write and loved someone hard enough to finally put it down.

Y'all, today's conversation is a whole lotta fun, a little bit of tears, and a good dose of vulnerable dialogue, but it all happened because two friends, ladies I consistently get to work alongside of in this ministry, asked if they could come on the show and interview me for a change. So in this podcast hijack, Melinda Williams and Sam Hadaway put me in the hot seat and ask questions I had not read before we recorded, which made it even more fun and raw. We talk about the very humble beginnings of Woven, hilarious moments along the way, how God used formative friendships in my teenage years, marriage dynamics behind the scenes (including sacrifices and pain points), and what it looks like to juggle the demands of motherhood and life while doing something I kind of stumbled into, which is leading this nonprofit. I love these women, and truly it was a gift to get to share and process through all we touch on. They see all kinds of ways that I've failed along the way and keep cheering me on. My hope is that you feel like you are just joining us in my living room for this episode of Whit's End. Memorable Quotes:“There was so much that He was forming in me to lead me to this place of craving it for myself and also seeing the need in our community where it just lined up.” “I feel like I'm an indecisive person in general, and what I've learned is the only thing that gives me peace to confidently make decisions is unhurried time in prayer, really waiting on the Lord, and it feels so counterproductive.”“The more that I get to do this ministry, it's really beautiful to get to see the fingerprint of God on people so beautifully and uniquely displayed.”“I'm always trying to find this balance as a mom, of ‘I am so crazy about you. I love you so much,' and also, ‘the world does not revolve around you.'”“Consistently, I feel like that is where God not only just speaks to me but it's like my whole demeanor changes. Again, it's the counter-productiveness, because it's like I still have things I need to do…it's almost like I feel God re-inflating me.”“I'm praying for the Lord to just help me to enjoy - to enjoy my husband, to enjoy my kids, to enjoy this season of ministry, to delight in the things He has given me and not see my life from a place of scarcity or lack but truly of gratitude and fullness already.”“It's the small things that God uses to build us and grow us into who He wants us to be.”“A lot of times, when I vent to God like that, I don't really feel a need anymore to talk to anybody about it.”Show Notes:Link to Sam's podcastLink to Melinda's podcastSocial media : @woven.ministry, @wlscarborough, @melindawilliamstxco, @samanthahadaway
