Enspirate Podcast

Bev B is back! We break down some mom stuff, specifically the hot topic of carrying the load for the family and the breaking points of when mom's 'lose their sheet'. You can either relate to Bev's 'mom' point of view or you can learn from this as a spouse. Enjoy this loose conversation about the home's dynamics of how to make sure 'mom doesn't lose her sheets'.

“Become uncomfortable, become vulnerable, and lay it all on the line: Tracy Interviews Kyle of Enspirate” is what I will call this episode. For several weeks prior to recording, Tracy kept asking about when am I going to be interviewed. Then Sara started, when are you going to be interviewed about your story. I repeated to them both, The Enspirate Podcast is not about me, but about so many everyday people that have beautiful stories to share. That answer wasn’t good enough, so I sat behind the microphone and opened up to Tracy. Goggins said "It takes great strength to be vulnerable enough to put your ass on the line, in public, and work towards a dream that feels like it's slipping away.” I am putting my ass on the line here on the Enspirate Podcast about what my dreams were many years ago today. I debated for a few weeks if I was going to air this, just for the fact that I really opened myself up, getting very vulnerable in a public forum like this. But as I have said before, and many others, the greatest changes happen when you are very uncomfortable. I hope this episode helps start your change.. Become uncomfortable, become vulnerable, and lay it all on the line to accomplish that dream you are wasting time not acting on.

Josh and Courtney are real life angels that walk amongst us. They have provided beautiful lives for humans and now pets. Words can’t describe their family’s journey that fits each pillar of Enspirate’s mission: ENcourage, inSPIRe, and motivATE. We will learn about the roles they fulfilled while Courtney was a surrogate, being foster parent, the adoption process, and currently fulfilling the role of a foster parent to dogs that will be many families fur babies. We get to hear the paternal & maternal perspectives of being a foster parent, and during a surrogate pregnancy. Enjoy the Enspirate Podcast!

After watching countless hours of the damage left behind in the Houston region from Hurricane Harvey, Kyle Hastings had an idea about friends helping friends in a time of need. He called it "Operation Friendship". The plan was making a Labor Day weekend trip to Katy Texas with a rental truck of donated goods, and it turned into a life changing event for many! Listen to how an idea was turned into action within 1 week that generated 9 truck loads with a total of 125,000 pounds of supplies donated and delivered to a warehouse in Katy Texas.

Become the coffee bean and change your environment. Bev had a life experience (that may have happened to you in similar ways), and she felt herself turning into the egg. And it came at a time after she read "The Coffee Bean" by Jon Gordan and Damon West. Hear about this experience that was hours old, the explanation of "The Coffee Bean" and a recap of interviewing Mrs. Anne Fuehrmeyer in the Enspirate Recap Show!

I know many of us miss our grandparents and have those moments where you wish you had 2 hours to learn a little bit more about their lives and what they persevered through being children of the Great Depression, living through World War 2, and many other historical events and cultural changes. I was lucky enough to interview Mrs. Anne Fuehrmeyer who was born in 1930, and approaching her 91st birthday this October. While listening to Part 2 of my talk with Mrs. Fuehrmeyer, I want you to think about what you would ask your grandparents if you had 2 hours with them today. Enjoy the Enspirate Podcast!

October 4th, 1930 in rural Kentucky, the world was blessed with the birth of Mrs. Anne Fuehrmeyer. Mrs. Fuehrmeyer's experiences are what movies are made from and what books are written on, and I am honored to share it on Enspirate. Enjoy part 1 of this 2 part series of the beautiful life stories from Mrs. Fuehrmeyer as she talks about her life from 1930-1950.

In Part 3 of "Breath Before, During, and After the Storm of 13 Years Behind Bars", LT continues his story of lessons he learned about having a full heart, spreading his love and smile, and living a parallel mission to Damon West's message of being a coffee bean. Enjoy part 3 of this Enspirate Podcast.

Josh Patton is a police officer in the Chicagoland Suburbs, a loving father, a devoted husband and a friend to many. Josh has also lost 130 pounds and successfully kept it off through a proper mindset. Growth and transformation is not a 1 size fits all approach. Hear how Josh Patton did it through a bariatric procedure, but most importantly a will to change. Josh is an Enspiration to me, and I hope to you!

Part 2, "Breath During the Storm”, will bring you a powerful message of healing, forgiveness and learning to smile in an environment of little smiling. The Enspirate Podcast has many different motivating factors on why it started, but one of the catalysts is from listening to the Impact Podcast with Todd Durkin when he interviewed Damon West. Damon West’s message of “be a coffee bean” is one of the cornerstones of The Enspirate Podcast, and an indirect cornerstone of how LT began to live his life behind bars by a parallel message. Enjoy the Part 2 of The Enspirate Podcast’s 3 Part series “Breath: Before, During and After the Storm of 13 Years Behind Bars”.
