Life is tough. What do we do when we lose hope? Join me as I ponder that question and hopefully offer some helpful insights to consider.

Why is there such a stigma around our mental health? Our brains are extraordinary, but sometimes they need a little help. Let’s talk about it.

I decided to share some lessons I learned from having two tough, complicated, back-to-back surgeries and unexpectedly being in the hospital for just short of a month. Suffering isn't fun, as we know, but it is universal.  We will all suffer throughout our lives. So how can we do it well? What if we don't want to? What if we just want to run away? Is there any good in our suffering? I've had some time in my recovery to ponder some philosophical questions about it all, so look out!  Here we go.

This is not a “normal” episode, but what’s really normal anyway? I think it’s highly overrated. 😀 After 2 major surgeries starting in November and 21 days in the hospital, I’ve been in a season of recovery. On Christmas Eve, two weeks ago, I couldn’t even sing a full phrase, because of fluid in my lungs and general weakness. Yesterday, I decided to sit down at the piano and try to sing. It’s been a long time. It’s not perfect, and just an amateur recording with my phone (and I usually never sing for anyone other than myself), but this is what progress looks like, so I decided to make it public. I hope you’re encouraged by this today.

We are actually calling this episode “plane crazy”, because my crazy flight attendant friend, Jen, is joining me at the mic! This is my first attempt at doing an interview and we had a blast recording it together, laughing and swapping flight attendant stories. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it! Welcome to episode #14!

Have you ever wondered what life is like working in the airline industry? If so, fasten your seatbelt and get ready for takeoff, as we talk about life as a Flight Attendant. Well talk about the good, the bad, the ugly, the memorable, the funny and the crazy parts of this wild industry. Buckle up! Here we go!

We all have unique and personal stories, journeys and beliefs. And that includes the faith that we all choose to come to in the end, whatever that may be. What do you believe? It’s fascinating to me to hear others’ perspectives. Join me as I share mine and tell you about my own personal faith journey.

Our world has gone crazy. There’s so much division, hatred, entitlement and selfishness out there right now. And what can we do about it? Join me as we explore some possible small solutions.
