What if the friendships God gives you were never just about coffee dates, but about calling each other higher? 💛
Jody Morgan is BACK for part two, and this time we're having a spirit conversation about the books that changed our lives. 
We also talk about why excellence, experience, and celebration have been the secret ingredients to Jody's success. Jody shares how she brings "unreasonable" celebration to her team every single month, and why loyalty and shared values are non-negotiables in her friendships.
I open up about the naysayer who almost stopped me from writing my book, the fear I still feel before every talk, and the moment I walked off stage and thought, "God, I think I can do this." Because as Jody reminded me, there's nothing holy in hiding, and she's not letting me play small anymore.

Be sweet, y'all! 💕

What if the healing you've been waiting for has been available to you all along you just needed to find the right tools and the right people? 💛

If you've ever felt like your health, your family, or your future was out of your hands, this episode is for you. My dear friend Jody Morgan joins me today, and her story is one of the most powerful I've ever heard. Jody's story is proof that God doesn't waste anything, not your pain,and definitely not any struggles. 

We talk about what it means to stop hiding, stop playing small, and start showing up fully for the life God has called you to. Jody shares how a health crisis with her daughter led her to discover products and a community that changed everything, and how a single quote  "There's nothing holy in hiding" shifted the trajectory of her career and her faith.
I also share why peace has become my most prized possession, why motivation is overrated, and why purpose will carry you so much further than passion ever will.

Episode Highlights:
[00:11] Meet Jody Morgan
[02:26] Faith, Overcoming & Finding God

Be sweet, y'all! 💕

Welcome to Be Sweet, Y'all ! New episodes drop every Monday, focusing on how to be kinder to ourselves and others while growing in mind, body, and spirit. Tune in each week to learn how to hit the sweet spot in life and make the world a brighter, sweeter place.

If you're one of those people who says "I'll be happy when I make more money," "I'll be happy when my child gets sober," "I'll be happy when my husband starts eating healthy" please stop. You cannot put your happiness on an "if," because you will constantly be chasing that if.
What if the things you're not getting right yet aren't failures… but proof you're still growing? 💛
I've learned to find happiness in the ordinary and the extraordinary, even through addiction, loss, and starting over. And through all that I've learned this: you cannot put your happiness on an "if." You will chase that if for the rest of your life. 

Today, I'm talking about the things I'm getting right and the things I'm still working on!!! Ever since I was a girl of 10 years of age sitting on my bed in an uncertain home shaped by alcoholism, books were my sanctuary. I learned that resilient people don't complain, they speak what they want and find solutions in every hardship they're faced with.

I get real about growing up with an alcoholic father, losing my brother to addiction, and the years I spent stuck waiting for outside circumstances to make me happy. I share the moment I finally learned to be okay even when things weren't okay. I close it out reading an affirmation from my new book Joy Is My Favorite Color about seeing yourself the way your Creator sees you.

Episode Highlights:
[02:30] Growing Up in an Alcoholic Home
[06:44] Losing My Brother to Addiction
[06:07] Whether Our Loved Ones Are Drinking or Not

I learned from my reading journey that resilient people don't  complain, they speak what they want and find solutions in every hardship they are faced with. 
I always dreamed of writing a book that made someone else feel that same hope and comfort.Friends, no matter what your circumstances are, remember that you are always bigger on the inside.

Have you ever heard of having a servant's heart? It's when your life feels chaotic, the absolute quickest way to find abundance is to throw yourself into the service of others. This week on Be Sweet Y'all, I sat down with one of the most dedicated, servant-hearted humans in our community, my dear friend Ron Sharpe, the President and CEO of The Arc of the Bay.

Ron opens up about the calling that led him out of corporate retail and straight into a life of providing a profound voice and life skills for individuals with differing abilities. We talk about the incredible milestones The Arc of the Bay is hitting like their life-changing culinary program that is completely shattering national employment averages.

The real centerpiece of this episode is the 10th Annual Kohl's Charity Fashion Show! Ron gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how these amazing individuals head to Kohl's, pick out their very own outfits, and completely rule the catwalk. We talk about the God-moments, the tears of joy, and why your face will literally be sore from smiling so much.
About Ron Sharpe & The Arc of the Bay: 
Ron Sharpe is the President and CEO of The Arc of the Bay (St. Andrew Bay Center), an organization that honorably provides life skills, job placement, and self-advocacy development for individuals with differing abilities. With a background in retail management, Ron turned his personal connection to disability into a lifelong mission of dream-inspired planning for over 250 individuals across Bay County.
Get Involved & Support The Arc of the Bay: The Kohl's Annual Charity Fashion Show is The Arc of the Bay’s largest fundraiser of the year, and they need our community to rally around them.

Be sweet, y'all!

One of my favorite speakers, Jon Acuff, said something this week that stopped me cold: "We like labels because they offer an explanation for behavior we don't want to change." Ouch. I felt seen, called out, and set free all at the same time and I had to bring it straight to you. In this episode, I'm sharing the quote that changed the way I see every excuse I've ever made, why "I'm just not good at that" might be the most expensive sentence you ever speak over yourself, and what I finally realized after years of running on Karen Power and wondering why I kept hitting the wall. I'm also getting real about a pattern I see in myself and so many of the people I love,  pre-apologizing for the very gifts that helped us survive. The affirmations I've been writing since I was ten years old, the ones that carried me through addiction in my home, heartbreak, and seasons with nothing left. I've been calling them "just a little affirmation book." Not anymore. our gifts were never meant to come with an apology.

Episode Highlights:
[01:12] The labels we use as excuses not to change
[03:17] "I'm not talented and smart enough to be unprepared"
[06:24] What going to bed discouraged is really telling you
[13:32] Karen Power vs. plugging into the RIGHT source
[17:56] You can't change others — but you have 100% control over changing yourself
[19:41] When you stop saving people, they learn to save themselves
[25:37] I've been pre-apologizing for my own gifts — and I'm done!
[30:04] Anticipate the best — the Shore House story that got me good
[31:29] Closing affirmation & sendin' you off with a full heart
