I sat down with my friend Michelle Lindsay to talk about color, but this conversation went somewhere deeper.

What started as getting dressed and adding color back into your life turned into a conversation about alignment, identity, and what happens when you stop doing everything in your own strength.

If you’ve been moving fast, feeling a little off, or sensing there might be a different way to live, this one might meet you right where you are.

We talk about confidence, faith, and the simple shifts that can change how you feel in your life, starting with something as everyday as your closet.

Enjoy!

I’m sitting down with a longtime friend, Tim McCormick, someone who has been part of our life for years, sharing his journey of healing and transformation.

From 320 lbs to 160.
From addiction and relapse… to sobriety he now protects at all costs.
From surviving… to living. 

This is about waking up, asking for help, and doing the hard work to change your life, one decision at a time.

Inside our conversation...

 • The moment everything had to change
 • What it really looks like to walk through addiction and come out the other side
 • The small shifts that created massive change
 • What it means to live differently, for real

If you need hope, this conversation is for you.

Make sure to cast your vote for Tim!  Here's the link.

The world can feel loud, fast, and out of control, and that’s exactly when we often tighten our grip and start trying to manage everything: other people’s choices, scary headlines, uncertain timing, and outcomes we can’t possibly guarantee. I’m inviting you to take a different path, one that doesn’t depend on perfect circumstances to feel steady. The turning point is a single question: what do I actually have stewardship or agency over today?

When the world around us feels unsettling, it’s easy to slip into defense mode, bracing and preparing for what might go wrong. Preparation is good. But what if it could be life giving and leave you feeling more equipped?

What would be possible if you played offense instead of defense?

Today’s episode is an invitation to think about what’s happening around you in a new and different way.

What does it mean to be 'successful'?

There is no shortage of answers, but deciding how you will define and measure success is one of the most important exercises you can ever do.

Why? Because unless you take the time to decide what it truly means for you to live a successful life you can wind up spending your entire life striving to achieve someone else's idea of a success, and never find your own.

Resist the urge to continue doing what you’ve always done - stop and do your own seeking to ensure that the motions you are making are giving you the life you want to be living.

Let's get real about something.  Your life isn’t happening some day.  It’s happening now.

In this short episode, we explore the sneaky illusion that keeps us hopeful, but ultimately at a distance from what we truly desire.
