FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real…that’s it!  

In this episode we talk about WHY we fear, the confidence we experience on the other side of it, how Fear is a liar and from the enemy, a WWII prisoner and her great advice to look up to the Lord instead of focusing on the things that are out of our control, a brief interview with my 10 year old daughter, and a lesson from Dori in Finding Nemo…

WOW, there is truly so much goodness in the episode and I can’t wait for you to hear it!  Let me know what you think about the song my daughter and I sing towards the end of the episode about confidence!  I hope you share it with your kids and use it in your own life as well!  

You’ll also walk away with my 4 steps to help you break through your fear so you can move another step closer into being your most confident self!

We all have fear but it’s what we do with it that makes a difference in our life!

Fear is a BIG obstacle holding you back from so many experiences in your life!  It is a liar but the truth is this…you are capable of FAR MORE than you think you are!

Perfection is the enemy of good.  

In this episode, I talk about my original “perfect” expectations for this podcast and how it slowed me down, an experience I had with kids and adults and the lesson I learned by noticing the clear difference between the 2 age groups confidence, the “marble jar concept” that we’ve all fallen victim to and more…

You’ll walk away with my 4 tips to help you conquer perfectionism so you can move another step closer into being your most confident self!

Stop striving to have the “perfect” body, be the “perfect” wife and mother, live the “perfect” life, or do the most “perfect” work.  DONE is better than perfect!  Strive for excellence, not perfection!

This “perfection” obstacle is holding you back from doing GOOD work, from trying new things, from going for something bigger…if you’re waiting for the perfect time and until all your ducks are in a row, you’re going to be waiting a very long time.  ACTION creates confidence!  So listen to this episode and let’s take some GOOD action!

All too often we carry lies around with us, not even knowing they are there but they steer the direction of our heart. The lies we believe determine the life we live. 

In today's episode I talk with Kristin Bonin, author of my favorite 31 day devotional, "Bare Naked Truths-Stripping Away The Lies That Derail Your Destiny".  We talk about her journey to writing this book, overcoming obstacles, and advice for other women moving forward in faith towards their dreams.  

I know you're going to love this conversation and leave with your cup filled, feeling like you just had a great chat with some girlfriends.

It's easy to have peace in our heart, trust God, and praise Him when things are going how we expected.  But what about when things don't go our way?  How can we have peace in our heart no matter what and truly proclaim..."It is well with my soul"?

In today's episode we look at the story of Horatio Spafford and the heartbreaking loss that lead him to write the popular hymn, It Is Well With My Soul.  We also look at John 16:33 and Daniel, chapter 6, to discover more truths of God's promises and how we can say, "It is well with my soul", in any situation.

Whether we get the job or we don't.  

Our house sells, or it doesn't.

The person we love is healed, or they remain sick.

We can have peace like a river knowing God is in control and is bigger than any challenge we might face!

Family and Finances are two of the most important things in our lives and often times we feel like we have to choose. You either have to be a stay at home mom and start living pay check to pay check off one salary or go back to work, even if you don't want to.

Ladies, you don't have to choose!

In Episode 8 of The Forward In Faith Podcast I’ll be talking with my new friend, Lauren Golden.  She is the fearless leader of The Free Mama Movement and a thriving community of tens of thousands of women who don’t want to choose between family and financial stability. Her mission is simple: Lauren wants to ensure that no mother ever has to sacrifice time with her babies in order to provide for them. Lauren is also a 2 Comma Club Award winner and a #1 International Bestselling Author. In her book, The Free Mama: How to Work from Home, Control your Schedule and Make More Money, she shares her own story — along with plenty of practical advice for anyone looking to leave the 9-5 behind and make a real living from home.

In this episode we discuss a heartbreaking loss that changed her life and made her quickly quit her job, her belief that you CAN actually have it all, how she went about crafting the lifestyle she really wanted, freelancing opportunities, community over comparison and so much more!  I know you’re going to love this conversation and feel motivated and inspired after listening!
