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.

Girl up on that hill, the world needs your light. And in today's episode we hope to inspire you to make the choice to switch yours on and lighten up that darkness. 

Every week you hear me say "Stop Hiding." Today we dig into what that means. We talk about how shame, and our longing for approval and belonging often cause us to hide who we are. We share what hiding can look like and how to tear off the masks we wear, let our joys and feelings out, and allow ourselves to be seen and known. Because we are people worth being seen and known.

As we bring the Spring Cleaning of the Heart and Mind Series to an end, I take a look at the second half of the topics we covered - the issues of the mind. In today’s episode I really dig into how our thought life changes everything - and how if we want to change anything in our life, we have to change our thoughts. I talk about renewing our minds, evaluating our thoughts, and stopping that mental spiral dead in its tracks. We get to choose. Let’s clear out these six negative thought patterns once and for all.

Our Spring Cleaning of the Heart and Mind Series is wrapping up as we dig into the topic of criticism.

We’re getting real, sharing our own struggles, and climbing up that hill with you. 

We’re beginning to wrap up our Spring Cleaning of the Heart and Mind Series by taking a look at false beliefs. We talk about core beliefs, how they develop, and how they shape not only our mindset and choices - but the direction of our lives.
