March 22, 2023Episode 127 Seeing Yourself as Others See You
Saturday, July 1st, 2022 I began a journey with a group of friends that has been so powerful that I wanted to share a bit of it with you. A 12-lesson bible study wound up taking about 8 months, and I'm happy it did because we learned so much from it! The Elijah Project by Andrea Polnaszek, was the basis of the study, but it went so much deeper. Please watch/listen and be inspired to go on a journey of your own! Link to the book is in the show notes at https://www.tamiwest.com/post/see-yourself-as-others-see-you.

January 25, 2023Episode 120 Is the World Making You Cynical? (And what to do about it)
This morning I was watching the news here in Nashville Tennessee. Mass shootings. Car break-ins. Ukraine. The flu. It’s no news to you that this is what we are bombarded with every day. But that’s not what prompted this episode, even though it’s certainly lens credibility to the topic. Last week my son's van was broken into. The good news? He wasn’t home when it happened. He doesn’t think anything valuable was stolen.Join me today as I take you on a journey from cynical to hopeful!Show notes at https://www.tamiwest.com/post/cynical.
