  • Wrapping up 2021 with Gratitude

    In this episode, Edie and Jennifer spend some time in gratitude about three business and three personal things. 


    Edie is the Owner of Stonebrook Day Spa and the Founder/Executive Director of The Stonebrook Project.

    She opened Stonebrook Day Spa in 2010. Her purpose and passion are to provide health and wellness to the community with an emphasis on men and women currently in treatment for cancer.

    She launched The Stonebrook Project, a 501c3 Nonprofit, in 2017. The mission is to make a difference until there is a cure. Edie is a breast cancer survivor of 13 years, and she specializes in meeting with cancer clients, putting them at ease, and helping them heal physically, emotionally and spiritually.

    Edie holds a AS in Business Administration and has 25+ years in business.  She has been married to Ron for 41 years, has two daughters, Tiffany & Brittney, a son-n-law, Chris and two wonderful grandchildren, Ella and Theo.

    Jennifer Edwards is the owner of Direction, LLC, providing Mastermind groups and one-to-one coaching. Her calling and specialty is female Christian business owners.

    She opened her business in 2017. The business services she provides are with a singular goal, to help people...help people. She believes no matter which services fit best for a client's business, they all serve to shorten the very expensive learning curve and help with the fact that 'it's lonely at the top'. As business owners, we all need a place to go where we are understood and feel like we belong. Oh, and it never hurts to be involved in something which helps you make more profit.

    Jennifer holds a BA in Organizational Communication from The University of Tulsa and has 25+ years of entrepreneurship. She has been married to Ron (a different Ron than Edie’s Ron, LOL) for 34 years. They fall into a tiny segment of the population who never had children and currently don’t even have any fur babies. They travel every chance they get and spend as much time with family and friends as humanly possible.

  • Three Favorite Business Things 1 of 3

    Have you heard of the fun Christmas gift exchange called "3 Favorite Things?".  

    Well, Edie and Jennifer thought it would be fun to tell you about our 3 favorite business things. 

    This particular episode is a bit wonky as we had technical difficulties and lost the episode recorded together. We improvised and recorded separately. It's not ideal however we really wanted you to hear about our favorite things. 


    You can find Edie's favorite thing at: https://fullfocusplanner.com

    You can find Jennifer's favorite thing at: https://encounteringpeace.com

  • Stay Joyful & Curious in the Mystery of God's Plan, Part 4

    Stay Joyful and Curious in the Mystery in God’s Plan. Part 4

    Review:

    ·  Part 1 was about how we know/define what God’s plan is for our lives.

    ·  Part 2 covers the next part to this journey, the characteristics you develop in yourself as you walk out the mystery.

    ·  Part 3 we identify the distractions which keep us from getting off track in the mystery of God’s plan.

    So on today’s episode, we talk about how to prepare for the distraction and offer the tools we use.

    ·  Part 2 covers the next part to this journey, the characteristics you develop in yourself as you walk out the mystery.

    Today in part 3 we identify the distractions which keep us from getting off track in the mystery of God’s plan.

    Edie talks about how she has identified how a weakness she had, has become her strength and doesn’t allow it to be a distraction any more.

    Jennifer talks about the distraction of making lies look like truth. The enemy finds ways for the lies to take root and she has asked God to uproot them forever…and He has and continues to uproot them.

    Stay Joyful and Curious in the Mystery in God’s Plan. Part 2

    Review: Part 1 was about how we know/define what God’s plan is for our lives.

    Part 2 covers the next part to this journey, the characteristics you develop in yourself as you walk out the mystery.

    We had a podcast on ‘surrender’ and is an important part of this process but since we already recorded that podcast, we’ll link it here.

    Edie describes why trust is one of the base characteristics of staying joyful and curious. Sometimes, our distrust is taught to us for reasons we know nothing about.

    Jennifer describes why peace is a characteristic of being in the mystery without chaos and pushing within our own energy.

  • Surrender Moments

    Thank you for listening.

    In this episode, you will hear Edie and Jennifer discuss moments of complete surrender to God. Their stories are very different but significant.

    When we finally get to a point that we can’t do it in our own power, we will often throw our hands in the air and give it to God to which His response is often….’well, it’s about time.’

    I think you’ll really enjoy these stories.

    We’d love to hear your surrender moment. Please tell us the story by following this link: voice message…..

    How Did I Get Here?

    In this episode, Jennifer and Edie have a conversation about our journeys. What happened in our earlier lives which made us who we are and put us in the space we currently reside.

    There are definite occurrences in our lives which make us who we are. Edie is in a reflective place in her life because she’s writing a book and has had to dive into the poignant parts of her life which has brought her to where she is today.

    Jennifer tells several stories which were significant in her life where God was all over the situations. She discusses how she was able to complete her degree from a private university as a gift from God.

    In this episode, listen for the questions being asked and see if you can answer them and connect the dots in your life where God played a part. What story can you tell us where you know… that you know …that you know… that you know….. you wouldn’t be where you are today had it not been for the hand of God showing you and orchestrating a path.
