Podcasts about you matter

In this short Christmas season episode, I share the legend behind the candy cane and how it points us back to Jesus. We talk about the difference between temporary holiday happiness and the true joy found only in Christ. With Paul's letter to the Philippians as our guide, we're reminded to stay rooted in joy, contentment, and the real gift of Christmas.

This weekend at Frank's family ranch in San Saba was everything my soul needed—no makeup, no expectations, just real friendship, belly laughs, and slow moments that filled my cup.

Gratitude is a practice I've been working at for many years now. And yes it is a practice. The more I practice, the happier I've become ;) Now that of course doesn't mean that I'm happy all the time, but it has allowed me to move through the more challenging emotions in a smoother fashion. Most of the time that is. That being said, I've actually made it to a place in my emotional recovery where I can honestly say, albeit sometimes a bit more challenging than others, that I'm grateful for ALL of it. ALL of it. And all of it being the yuck stuff and the great stuff. Are you struggling with finding gratitude in anything? In more of the challenging experiences? Have you too found a way to feel grateful for ALL of it, more often than not? If any of these questions resonate with you then take a listen and join me as I share a bit of my gratitude journey :) And please feel free to reach out and share with me YOUR gratitudes! Attitude of gratitude: 1. My journey of recover & self-discovery. 2. This earthly experience. 3. Every dog I've had the opportunity to share time with. 4. Every person I've crossed paths with thus far. 5. All of my listeners! 6. For my breath.7. ALL OF IT. **DISCLAIMER: Please take note that any references to ketamine infusions or any other form of medicinal treatments, mainstream or non mainstream, are strictly meant to provide an insight into my own experiences. That being said, should you find yourself curious about anything spoken about on my podcast I firmly suggest speaking to a doctor/psychologist/therapist/family member/psychiatrist/etc. before making any decisions.

In today's episode, I'm walking you through our full five-day Scottsdale and Grand Canyon trip... what we did, what we loved, the things that surprised us, and why this trip ended up being exactly what our family needed.We are typically beach vacation people, but this one slowed us down and reminded me that sometimes the best memories are made when you choose the unfamiliar.Mentioned in this episode:

John Miles' journey reflects a powerful evolution from traditional corporate and military achievements toward a mission centered on personal meaning and human connection. His early experiences navigating the pressures of leadership roles revealed a critical insight: true fulfillment arises when individuals feel seen, valued, and empowered, not just when they reach external milestones. Recognizing how the epidemic of invisibility and disconnection affects people of all ages, he developed a leadership style that prioritized making both employees and community members feel that they matter—a lesson that has broad relevance in today's fast-paced, often impersonal world. Drawing from personal adversity and vulnerability, John has committed to addressing these challenges at their root, especially in childhood. He understands that a sense of belonging and self-worth needs to be cultivated early, before negative patterns take hold. This conviction drives his latest initiatives for children, including the creation of You Matter, Luma, a vibrant children's book that teaches kids about inherent worth, and the Pass the Ripple app, which turns small acts of kindness into a movement that can be tracked and celebrated. Both projects aim to break cycles of invisibility by giving kids practical tools—and the confidence—to see their own significance and the positive ripples they can create. For parents, educators, and advocates seeking to nurture confidence and well-being in children, John's work is both a guide and an invitation to action. To discover more about his mission and resources—and to get your copy of the new children's book You Matter, Luma—visit his website here.

This weekend in Stephenville turned into a whole word straight from Acts 20:24. Addison's church shared a powerful message on being “the other” in a world of sameness, especially with Thanksgiving and tricky family dynamics coming up. We're talking hope, joy, forgiveness, running your race, staying in your lane, and showing up with grace in places that feel hard.

A sweet recap of my annual girls trip! One of my favorite traditions in all its the simplicity, and the blessing of a friendship where silence feels like home.

This week, I'm diving into Romans 5:1–11 (ESV), a passage that's full of hope, peace, and reminders of how deeply God loves us. During my Bible study, a few words really stood out to me: hope and reconciled. Because of our faith, we have peace with God through Jesus, our relationship with Him is restored, and we're no longer His enemies.My biggest takeaway? Because of Jesus' love and sacrifice, I'm made right with God, I have peace and hope even in hard times, and I can live with joy knowing I've been fully forgiven and restored to Him.Friend, I hope this episode reminds you that even in the trials, even in the waiting, God is working. He's not done with your story, and He's always faithful.

Have you ever been forgotten, overlooked, or felt unimportant? Long ago, Jesus said, "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." You may be thinking, “What does that have to do with me?” The Greek word often translated as “meek” also describes those who are not valued, those who feel left behind. If you've ever felt that way, Jesus says that in His world, you're blessed. To be meek is to be human in a way that doesn't demand attention. You can be filled with strength without shouting. You can be small, yet reflect something bigger, something real and lasting. Your life matters. Not because you demand attention, but because the God of the universe says YOU MATTER. Let Him show you your true worth. Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Matthew 5:5 radio.hopewithgod.com

This weekend in South Texas, I was struck with a sudden wave of gratitude. For the land. For the sun. For the fresh air and good food. For friends who are more like family. For the kind of community where makeup doesn't matter, kids are loved like your own, and conversations fill your soul.In this episode, I share a story from our time dove hunting at a friend's ranch and how it reminded me that gratitude can shift everything, even in the middle of chaos.

This week's episode is short, sweet, and straight from my heart. I wasn't feeling inspired to record today, and maybe that's exactly why this message matters.In this episode, I share a moment from the other day when someone asked me, “What do you do now that you're not teaching?” and I froze. I explain how that question left me feeling less than, and how it ties into the bigger reminder we all need:

As a Christian, I wrestle with grief, shock, and the fear over how the death of Charlie Kirk could deepen political divisions. But I also hold onto hope: hope that tragedy might awaken compassion, that anger might be transformed, that we might lean into our shared humanity. Together, we'll explore what we can do: turning off the 24-hour news cycle, stepping away from social media for a bit, engaging in conversations with people we disagree with, and remembering that behind every headline, every clip, every voice is a person made in God's image. This is not about blame, or pointing fingers, or even political... It's about healing, unity, and love.THANK YOU TO THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR ~

In this mini episode of You Matter, Joanne and I discuss the power of setting agreements with your patient, not just at the beginning of an episode of treatment but at every session, and even within a session. Rather than wondering, "Is this right? Are they happy? Am I doing a good job? " You get an answer in real time. Your patient gets seen and heard, and you are relieved from the pain of wondering. There are surprising benefits for both of you.Coaching Unpeeled: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/mehab/1737501Future Dates: https://tinyurl.com/4f5nh8fm

This week, I'm sharing a powerful experience from visiting our daughter at Tarleton State University and attending Timber Ridge Church with her and her friends. Watching young adults worship Jesus so boldly reminded me of my own college years and how different my story was.The message that morning centered on how Jesus multiplies our gifts, and Romans 12:7-8 deeply connected to my heart and what I'm studying in Bible study right now.I pray this conversation encourages you to lean into the gifts God has placed in you and trust Him to multiply them.

I used to love The Biggest Loser. I thought it was motivational, inspiring, and fascinating. But after watching the Netflix documentary, my perspective completely changed. I realized how extreme the diets and exercise were, and how harmful the messaging about people and weight really was. In this episode, I share my honest thoughts, what I learned, and why it's okay to change your mind about things you once loved. Growth looks different for all of us, and that's a beautiful thing.THANK YOU TO THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR:

Today, I'm sharing something that I'm doing just for me. After years of teaching and now as a mom to a child with ADHD and big emotions, I've always been fascinated by the brain, especially how trauma and ADHD affect kids.Since I'm not working right now, I decided to use this season to grow my knowledge in a way that lights me up.In this quick episode, I talk about why I enrolled in a trauma-informed practice course, how it's helping me understand kids (and myself) in new ways, and why sometimes it's important to learn simply because we want to, not because we have to.If you've been curious about something, maybe this is your permission slip to go learn it, just for you.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Jenifer Price (aka Dr. Jen)—therapist, speaker, and proud boy mom—joins me to talk about the deep connection between a mother's mental health and a child's emotional intelligence. She opens up about how personal loss led to a journey of self-rediscovery and shares practical mental health hacks for busy moms and their kids. If you've ever felt guilty for prioritizing yourself, this conversation is for you.WAYS TO CONNECT WITH DR. JEN ~

Today on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Spiritual Detox” with discussions about the importance of taking accountability when repenting and self-control. When we come before God in repentance, we need to own what we did and humbly surrender to Him for restoration and healing. This is affirmed in Joel 2:25, where God promises to restore Israel after the plague of locusts, because they turned back to Him and repented. We then had a special guest, Dean Sikes, join us to share his story of overcoming sexual abuse. He also told us about the work he does with teenagers in trauma recovery and suicide prevention. Dean is an author and a speaker who travels the world ministering to high schoolers, providing them with words of hope. He also hosts the national broadcast You Matter Television and has authored a book called “You Matter.” We then had Drew Dyck join us to discuss the importance of biblical self-control. Drew is an acquisitions editor with Moody Publishers and a contributing editor for Christianity Today for Pastors. He has also authored several books, including “Your Future Self Will Thank You: Secrets to Self-Control from the Bible and Brain Science.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Nationally acclaimed author and founder of the Every Monday Matters movement, Matthew Emerzian, sits down with Steve Riley to have a conversation about purpose, connection, and building a life that truly matters. Matthew's story did not begin with a breakdown. From the outside, it looked like he had it all. He lived in Beverly Hills, working in the music industry with world-famous bands like U2 and Coldplay. He traveled, enjoyed success, and was part of an exciting, fast-paced world. Then, one night after a blind date arranged by his parents' best friends, he realized something that would change the course of his life. Despite the outward success, he had no real purpose or direction. That realization sent him searching for meaning. He began therapy, which he jokingly calls his “expensive friend,” and started exploring the idea of human-centered design. He wanted to understand how to design a life that put people first, starting with himself, extending to others, and reaching into his work and the world around him. This search led him to create Every Monday Matters, a movement that inspires people to live intentionally and remember that they matter. Over time, it grew into a global message: I matter, you matter, we matter. In this episode, Matthew and Steve explore how that philosophy can transform a law practice. They discuss how “Every Monday Matters” can guide client relationships, strengthen workplace culture, and influence leadership. They talk about why empathy, self-awareness, and kindness are not just good values, but essential tools for success. Matthew shares ways to integrate these values into daily habits so they create real change. He explains how living with intention can improve both personal fulfillment and professional impact. His message is clear: when you believe you matter, it changes how you show up for everyone around you. Matthew walked away from the high life to build a more meaningful one. Today, through Every Monday Matters, he helps people discover purpose in their own lives, one intentional choice at a time. Catch Matthew Emerzian live at this year's Summit!

Today's episode is a real-time reflection, straight from the yoga mat to the mic. After taking a heated barre and yoga class, I found myself in an emotional moment connecting with younger Chrysty, the version of me who never felt like she had permission to try unless she could be perfect.I share what it looked like to give her (and myself) permission to be a beginner, to fall, to laugh, to try new things without needing to “marry” them. This episode is your reminder that growth happens when we choose courage over perfection.THANK YOU TO THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR ~
