September 30, 2022 49. Things I've Learned in Therapy
I am a HUGE believer in the power of counseling and therapy. I've been going to counseling on and off for the last 10 years and it has helped me tremendously, and the more I learn about the mind-body connection when it comes to healing from pain and trauma, the more passionate I get about sharing what I learn. So today I thought I'd share some things I've learned during my time in therapy in hopes that these resources will be just as helpful to you!

September 16, 2022 47. Doing the Inner Work to Find Your Power (ft. Aurelia Dávila Pratt)
Today, I’ve invited pastor and author, Aurelia Dávila Pratt, to talk to us about her journey of inner healing, how she learned to reclaim her intuition, and step fully into her power. After experiencing microagressions of racism in the past, she came face to face with her anger and pain, and then started doing the work to heal and embrace her purpose. As a result, she has helped several other women do the same.
She believes that learning to embody the truth of imago Dei is our catalyst for healing, and as we grow in awareness of our own identity in Christ, it should spark an awareness of His same image in the world around us. I can’t wait for you to hear from her and read her book!

August 26, 2022 45. Where is God When Everything Falls Apart? (ft. Kristen Utter)
Where was God on the hardest day of your life? And is He still as good as you thought He was when everything falls apart? Author Kristen Utter had to ask herself questions just like these after losing her young daughter suddenly and unexpectedly, and in the years that followed.
She’s here today sharing with us about how she and her family processed through unimaginable grief and trauma on a journey toward healing that resulted in even greater faith and relationship with God. Her story (as well as her new book) embraces the messiness of pain, loss, tragedy, and doubt while illuminating a pathway toward the simple truth that can make us all Shatterproof.

August 05, 2022 43. How to Love Your Body in the Process (ft. Alyssa Frazier)
There are a lot of voices out there telling us what health and wellness should look like, but the truth is, it’s different for everyone. So how do you know what the right path is for you? The key is learning to listen to YOUR heart and your body — because they are more connected than you’d think. Today we’re talking with Alyssa Murphy about the link between physical and emotional health, and how we can begin to let go of shame and comparison to really start loving our bodies right here in the process!
I love this simple self-reflection prompt Alyssa shared: “What do my heart and my body need today?”

July 29, 2022 42. Let's Talk About Abortion (ft. Olivia Cowin)
Abortion is a big, scary topic that I’ll admit I’ve avoided speaking out about for a long time because of how controversial it is. But today, I have Olivia Cowin here with me to start a conversation about how we (especially as believers) can educate ourselves, speak boldly, and take loving action to support hurting and vulnerable women.

July 08, 2022 40. How to Get Over the Fear of Starting and Just Do the Thing
I don't know about you, but I have a lot of hobbies, dreams, ideas, goals, and things I'd like to try. However… Actually starting is another story. Taking that first step can feel so daunting, you know? So big and scary and overwhelming sometimes – so much so that it causes me to give up before I even begin. Have you been there too? I don't know what that thing is for you – the one in the back of your mind that you keep coming back to – but maybe this is your sign to take one small step forward. Your future self will be thanking you. ;)
