Girl On A Hill

We’re kicking off our heroes series today with everyone’s neighbor, Fred Rogers. Mr. Rogers was more than a tv personality - he was a man deeply rooted in a calling: to extend kindness and unconditional love and to help children grow in their emotional honesty. His story is moving, his integrity, work ethic, and authenticity inspiring, and his caring and compassion were groundbreaking. We share pieces of his story, tales of his audacious emotional authenticity, and wrap it up by sharing lessons learned from the life of Mr. Fred Rogers.

We wrap up our Woman Of…Series with something the world needs more of - hope! We dig into the link between hopelessness and worry, define what hope is, and share how hope fuels us in seasons of difficulty. We talk about the role resolve plays in a hope-driven life and wrap it up by sharing science-backed ways to increase your hope. 

Today we’re digging into what it looks like to be a woman of confidence. We talk about the truths we struggle to accept, our ugly relationship with validation, and how comparison fuels or insecurity. We wrap it up by sharing ways to start developing your confidence and accepting the awesome woman God made you to be.

We continue our Woman of Series by talking about what it means to be a woman of resolve - a woman who doesn’t just talk about doing things, but a woman who does them. We talk about excuses, motivation, and the choice between what we want now and what we want most. We talk about intentionality and the need to push through discomfort. We wrap it up by sharing ways to start building your resolve.

We all know play is important for kids, but most of us have written it off as something we no longer have time for. In today’s podcast, we talk about why we need to be women of playfulness. We talk about how achievement identity and exhaustion as a badge are running us ragged and how play is vital in renewing our mind, body, and spirit. We share ways play impacts our whole body health and wrap it up by sharing what play can look like as an adult.

In today’s podcast, we’re looking at what it means to be a woman of integrity. We talk about our values and practicing them vs. just professing them. We dig into how struggle often reveals the cracks in our integrity and our goal to be women who have the character to withstand the storms. We wrap it up  by really digging into what integrity looks like lived out and share some tough but practical ways you can assess your integrity.

In today’s podcast, we’re talking about what it means to be a woman of mercy. We talk about mercy’s deep ties to compassion, how our brokenness and backstories often put us in a position to need the mercy of others, and how our unhealed pain, anger, and unforgiveness can prevent us from extending mercy to those who need it.  We talk about the similarities and differences between grace and mercy, how gratitude plays a role in our ability to show mercy, and wrap it up by sharing a few ways to show mercy to someone who may need it today.

We’re continuing our new series by diving into what it looks like to be a woman of adaptability. It’s a trait many of us struggle to exhibit because change is hard. We dig into why we resist change and how developing adaptability can help us view and react to change in a different and emotionally healthier way. We talk about types of change, the traits that exemplify an adaptable person, and wrap it up by sharing practical ways you can start developing your adaptability today.
