You are tuning into episode # 42!In this episode I have one of BE ENCOURAGED podcast firsts.This is the first recording I have ever done - in person!!You are all in for a real treat because I have Toni McFadden who is the founder of the program called, Relationships Matter. In our conversation she says, “Relationships are the only thing that matters in life”. I can see why her passion is to build bridges in life, that forge relationships, that truly matter. Toni has a very unique and powerful story that weaves together very different threads in her life, into something so beautiful! It literally gives me chills thinking about it!Toni’s story of forgiveness, redemption, and looking onward to healing post abortive brings a message of hope that will take us deep!Toni is a voice for the voiceless. She speaks passionately about the miracle of life and what that means to her.I read this quote from Preemptive Love Volume 5, “The point of hard conversations is to show up, to hear someone else’s experience and beliefs, and to try to empathize and understand where they are coming from.”Today, is one of those hard conversations that I think is okay to have. I love that Toni feels so passionately about this movement. It really made me ask myself some hard and convicting questions about my own beliefs. It made me really consider the miracle and value of all life.Perhaps it will encourage you on a deeper level too, as Toni holds nothing back about her faith and her walk with Jesus! It's an incredible story of how He changed her heart and life by the His amazing grace!Let’s dive in --- and let’s go deep --- and BE ENCOURAGED!JackieInformation about Toni McFadden:Website: https://tonimcfadden.com/about/Social on Instagram: @tonimcfadden1258 min

- Episode # 20 -- REPLAY - "Find Your Starting Line" with Dorina Gilmore Young
Welcome to the Be Encouraged! Podcast! I am your host Jackie Brindle.
Change. Think about that word for a minute. What comes to mind?
Sometimes it’s not so bad and other times, it hurts. Sometimes there’s no preparation for what lies ahead in our journey. And Sometimes we come to a haltering stop. It almost can feel like the world around you is in motion and while you are trying to still figure out how to find your starting line again.
It’s in these moments that test my faith, is where I cling to hope, and dig deep to find the courage to keep on keeping on.
That’s why I am revisiting this conversation, episode 20 from when it was previously recorded in fall of 2020.
I had the privilege of speaking with the renown author of Walk Run Soar, Dorina Gilmore- Young, she also is an author of a variety of books that are SO worthy of checking out, as well!
Dorina shared her story of heartbreak and hope on this episode! She also shares her love for running! Since we last talked, she has been publishing her very own podcast which is related to her devotional Walk Run Soar!! If this story inspires you today, you will surely be inspired by all the athletes and motivational speakers, she speaks with on her show too!
I realize, from getting to know Dorina, that the one thing that keeps her finding her starting line each day is her unshakeable faith. It helped her to conquer her fears, to courageously put one foot in front of the other. If you are needing to muster up some courage for a season that you weren’t prepared for, this is the message for you. Listeners, take your mark… Get Set.. GO…. And BE ENCOURAGED!!

29 min - Episode # 37 Let's Discover Organizing with guest speaker, Jill Yesko
Welcome to the Be ENCOURAGED! podcast! You are tuning into episode # 37, "Let’s Discover Organizing".
It’s full on spring time and when I think of spring --- I want to open up my windows on a sunny day and let the breeze flow through my house. But what happens when I do that --- I start to see all the places I have so nicely hid all the junk in my house and need to spring clean!
Last year there was certainly more time to organize and spring clean pockets of the house that I know need some TLC. So that’s why I called on one of the best in the biz, to encourage us all to use solid strategies to empower us, when faced with the task of organizing a small space and a big space!
I love having meaningful conversations with people that encourage me to make healthy life changes and changes of the heart!
Today you are in for a real treat as I sit down with my guest speaker, Jill Yesko.
Jill is, the CEO of Discover Organizing based out in Pittsburg, PA. You may have seen her on your local TV show for interviews or have seen her on Episode 2 of "Hoarders", where she was a guest professional organizer!
She weaves her seasoned experience as a Certified Professional Organizer and leadership, not only into this podcast, but in every area of her life. Also, an author of two incredible books, coming soon to a bookstore near you! (or Amazon!)
In this conversation, I believe Jill wants to empower us all to be courageous, tenacious, and self-disciplined enough to truly simplify and improve our productivity, our time, and in any space we work or live in.
Grab your coffee and definitely a pen and paper if you can. If you are not hands free --- perhaps on a run/walk, spring cleaning, or in the mobile office --- you are going to want to save this one!
Share it with a friend, subscribe, and follow myself on Instagram @jackibeinspiring and Jill @discoverorganizing and save the post from today!
Then you can find this episode at your fingertips!
Now buckle up my fabulous friends and BE ENCOURAGED!
Jackie :)

- Episode # 35, The Waiting Room isn't Pointless with guest speaker: Holly Foley
Ever feel like life is one big waiting room after another?
Ever feel completely stuck in the waiting room and perhaps it feels -- dare I say .... hopeless? pointless? lonely? never ending? Or always asking the question, "Am I there yet?"
Yup. I get that! That's why I asked my friend, Holly Foley, to be my fabulous, guest speaker, on this episode #35!
Holly is a super mom to FOUR incredible kids, creative, artistic, a knack for marketing and design, and she is SO FUN to be around! Holly exhales this incredible heart, to want to serve and help, not only her family, but everyone around her!
Holly untangles some of her own waiting room experiences with us to bring us a lot of encouragement and "hindsight 20/20" wisdom!
Although the waiting can be hard, Holly reminds us all that it's never pointless because most of the time, we can look back and see a glimpse of what God was doing in our lives. Even if we didn't understand it completely then, God is faithful to use that time to work on our hearts, so that He can complete the work He's called us to do.
So buckle up, grab your coffee, get that pile of laundry, or lace up your shoes, because wherever you are listening, you’ll BE ENCOURAGED!
Jackie :)
