Today I have an on-air session with Anh Lin (@girlandtheworld).




Anh opens up about her dysfunctional relationship with her mother, navigating through the hardships of enmeshment and codependency.




What do you do when you feel like you are the only one who can care for your family, but you come from a dysfunctional family?




How do you navigate the toxicity in a culture where boundaries and limits are frowned upon?




Listen in on this heart felt counseling session with Anh — and as you do, ask yourself what role you have in your own family dynamics.

Today on the podcast, I am talking to the amazing Katherine Wolf.
In her 20s, after the birth of her first child, Katherine experienced a devastating massive stroke that left her paralyzed and turned her life completely upside down.

In this on-air counseling session, we talk through this horrific season in her life and what it means to look for hope when there seems to be no hope. We talk about medical trauma, and how she has processed these things moving forward. We talk about her childhood, and how God was preparing her for suffering, even from a young age.
It is one of the most encouraging episodes, so go give it a listen!

When There Seems To Be No Hope with Katherine Wolf

Today on the podcast, I talk with Faith from Georgia!
She’s 37 and single so she really wants to know how to know when you are trusting God with your dating life — versus when you are taking control of the situation yourself.
Do you have to sit back and wait for things to happen, or can you take initiative?
And what if you are a woman, where does that leave you in the equation of making a dating relationship happen – considering some people think it’s wrong for a woman to take an initiative.
We talked about what waiting on God actually means and what it doesn’t mean… And how to be proactive with your love life in the meantime!!
It’s an episode every single who is wanting to date should listen to!!!!

Struggling With Singleness: A Conversation with Mandisa

Today on the podcast, I talk with Lauryn, who is struggling with navigating friendships in this season of singleness.
She’s single, but all her friends are married… and she can sometimes feel a bit out of place. She feels as though some of her relationships are becoming unbalanced and she called in looking for some advice.

We dug a little deeper into her relationship history, and found out that unbalanced relationships aren’t as new as she thought they were … they are just a little more prominent in this season.
I encouraged her to take ownership of her role in relationships, addressing and communicating her needs… and learning to bring balance to her relationships. The most interesting thing about our conversation is what it revealed about her (tune in to find out!)
I think this is an important conversation for everyone to listen to, especially if you’ve ever felt the lack of balance in your closest friendships.
