As we approach the mid-term elections, I felt it was a good time to repost this episode. Let our faith inform our politics, but don't allow politics to co-opt your faith. 

Why are we so easily led into hating others? What has happened to our society?

A Glimpse of the Feminine is written and recorded by your host, Tracy and engineered/produced by Mike Jones-Thames

It's been a busy week or two! Today Tracy talks about celebrity deaths, the impact of our own lives and various things going on.

Today we tackle the difficult topic of coercive sex and marital rape within a marriage. What does consent look like, and is it given for life when we say, "I do"? Host Tracy fleshes the topic out and lets women know that they do have a right to consent, even in marriage.

Scriptures referenced: 

1 Corinthians 7:1-5

Hebrews 13:4

Tracy shares her personal experience losing a home to fire while caring for a newborn recovering from open-heart surgery, exploring the unique grief, PTSD triggers during fire season, and the practical challenges of being underinsured.

She offers clear, compassionate advice on what helps after a fire—how communities can give useful support, donation tips, insurance reminders, and encouragement that rebuilding is possible one step at a time.

Host Tracy reflects on her varied work history — from intake coordinator in a counseling office to healthcare roles and starting a podcast — and explains how understanding your identity and values can help you find meaningful work. She shares lessons about confidentiality in counseling, the impact of mentorship, coping with toxic workplaces, and using transferable strengths to pursue purpose-driven careers.

Tracy offers practical encouragement for dreaming bigger while meeting financial needs: brainstorm where your core values can be applied, consider side gigs, and take small steps toward goals you’d chase if you couldn't fail. Produced by Mike Jones-Thames.

In this episode Tracy shares honest reflections after the loss of her son Tucker—talking about telling children the truth, Scripture that comforted her, imagining loved ones welcoming infants in heaven, and how faith helped make sense of grief.

She also offers practical advice for grieving families and those who support them—why parents need time to put away baby items, how to avoid rushing goodbyes, and ways to come alongside others with compassion and patience.

Today we're talking about trauma and how we can help someone as they experience traumatic events. We'll do a "fly-over" on trauma and talk about how being an empathetic witness can help someone who is going through a traumatic event, and what that looks like.
