In this episode of "Rhythms That Restore," Cherisse engages in a heartfelt conversation with friend & Business Mentor, Fitness & Financial Enthusiast and connector of women in her small town, Denise Parmely from Selmer, Tennessee.

We dive into the topic of "Contentment". We wanted to explore what can life look like when we live from a place of total Contentment in 2025. 

Denise shares her journey as a mother of 2, entrepreneur, and health and fitness enthusiast, focusing on her pursuit of contentment amidst life's changes. She shares the question with all of us "What keeps us up at night?" What are we holding onto so tight that we know the Lord has asked us to say "No" to or "It is time to let it go". 

Denise shares the impact of COVID-19 on her small businesses she owned, her transition to full-time employment, and her commitment to financial fitness and physical fitness. She loves to mentor and speak to women to how to make the best choices in health and life.

Denise emphasizes the importance for all of us: setting realistic goals, living from a place of daily discipline and making the choices each day that get us to our goals. She shares be specific and write down "10 Specific Goals for 2025" and then what steps will you take to move daily toward each goal that you have for the year. Then post it to where you can see the goal in front of you and that will champion you in the progress that is happening each day. Find your WIN and find the Gratitude that IS inside the day. 

Denise shares how as the Lord grows us, draws us closer to Him, He changes the desires of our hearts to reflect His. 

She offers us advice to celebrating small wins, and fostering a supportive community. Her story highlights the transformative power of faith, gratitude, and personal growth as they enter the new year.

Denise challenges us to BE the change that we so desperalty desire. Be the one to reaches out, forms a group of women, provides a safe space for women to gather and connect. Simply reach out and ASK.
