Today we're talking about something close to my heart: Human Trafficking. I used to think this was just an issue that happened overseas or in movies, but I was shocked when I found out that it was actually happening right here in my city. I know it can seem big and overwhelming, like it's way too much for one person to make a difference, but I've invited Executive Director of Traffick911, Lindsey Speed, to clear up the misconceptions and talk to us about how we all have a role to play in the solution to this injustice.

"How do I continue to pursue my own dreams and purpose when I'm married?" "How do you keep your independence when you're "one" with your spouse?" "How do you build a marriage that's worth fighting for?" These are questions I've heard from women in the last few years, and today I've invited my friend Candice Mummert to share her insights with us. We'll learn about the heart of marriage, how to navigate our own purpose in marriage, and how to support our partners in theirs!

Today is another Unscripted episode, where we sit down and have a candid chat and I answer your questions. For this one, I asked what you want to know about my story - from eating disorders to depression and suicide to sexual abuse, and everything in between. My heart behind this episode is not to vent about my experiences, but to shed light on them in hopes that it will help you love the people in your life who are hurting and even encourage you if you have experienced (or are currently facing) similar struggles.

I know we've had conversations about money on the show before, but today we're zeroing in on intentional spending. There's power in how you manage your money, so today I've invited Jen Williams from Bloom Budget to share her story and how she's used a budget to not only get out of debt, but to create a life full of freedom and fulfillment! Turns out, you can have your pumpkin spice latte and drink it too. ;)

I've struggled with skin issues since adolescence. If I'm being totally honest, it's still one of my biggest insecurities. Through the years, it's even had an effect on my mental health and how I show up in the world, but I never really heard much about that side of things growing up. Enter: Wendy Lewis, founder of The Acne Effect. Her mission is to bring awareness and educate the public about the impact acne has on mental health. She reminds us that acne happens, but losing yourself as a result of it should not.

Have you ever felt stuck in your season of life, like there’s not a lot of options and you just aren’t sure what to do? Me too. In fact, as someone who's "all or nothing" in most things, I find it can be especially difficult to reroute when things don't go the way I thought they would. So today I wanted to share some things I've been learning that are helping me look at challenges through a different perspective.

I'm talking to Jacqueline Foster about it today and I can't wait for you to hear her insights!

I've heard from many women and clients of mine questions like, "Am I doing the right thing?" "How do I know if I should just keep pushing through, or if it's time to pivot?" So many of us get stuck in the "shoulds" of life, feeling like our story needs to look or feel a certain way. Other times we're stuck because we're simply lacking clarity or awareness. But the truth is, freedom and clarity are not so far away after all. So today we're talking about what it means to discover your own Aligned Brilliance and live from that place!
