What started out as no fun shifted into laughter. Join my husband Aaron and I on another podcast as we cover many topics.

Consistency and the laws of the universe are like the unbreakable rules that govern everything around us. Picture them as the bossy bosses of the universe, telling everything how to behave. These laws are like invisible threads that hold everything together and make sure everything follows a predictable pattern. From the way planets twirl around stars to the tiniest atoms buzzing around, everything sticks to these rules. Think of it like a giant cosmic dance where everyone knows their moves! Because of these dependable laws, we can make sense of how things work and trust that they'll continue to work that way. So, if you drop an apple today, you can bet it'll fall again tomorrow! Consistency and laws of the universe make the universe an organized and reliable place to live.

"Luck is preparation meeting opportunity. if you hadn't been prepared when the opportunity came along you wouldn't have been lucky..put yourself in an environment where the universe can reward you." Aaron Dutcher

GOING DUTCH PODCAST EPISODE 53: RANDOM RANDA THOUGHTS

God often presents us with small experiences that may seem insignificant at the time. However, these experiences serve as building blocks, teaching us important lessons, connecting us with influential people, and shaping our character. They prepare us for greater accomplishments in the future, revealing the purpose behind each step of our journey. By recognizing and embracing these little experiences, we can fulfill our larger calling with trust in God's guidance.

Thoughts on Moses.

I started singing in church at 3 years old.

Acknowledge those who make a difference.

Be aware that you never know when someone is speaking bad or good of you.

If someone has offended you, let it go.

It’s not “what is wrong with you, it’s “who” is wrong with you?”

Our guest on this episode of Going Dutch is Dawn Schoenbein. Dawn is an amazing, accomplished, and kind friend as well as a client. Dawn has little sub-communities all over the world. She may not be in close communication with these people all the time, but whenever they connect again, the bond is strong. What Dawn finds has made all the difference is the experiences they shared while they were in the same place.

Going through unique experiences, challenges, or times of growth with another person can create a solid bond that lasts through distance and time. Being honest, real, and present when you are together again helps maintain this.

One of Dawn’s greatest strengths is her ability to absorb, understand, and reshare information in a way that’s easy to understand. Her ability to practice non-judgment makes her easy to talk to. When you feel comfortable sharing, it helps build connections between women that feel safe.

Dawn has been to all of my retreats. When she first went, she was not in the best place with her relationship with Christ. She wasn’t connecting with Him the way she wanted to. Through the tools she learned, she was able to find and build this connection in a more authentic way.

Our connections with God and our savior are also safe spaces and relationships we can build on. You can say anything—there is no judgment from your divine team. When you show up to do the work, they are ready. The time and energy you spend deepening this connection will change your essence in so many amazing ways.

The other day, I had an incredible download about where I want to go, who I want to be, and the results I want to have. This led me to reflect on how that version of me would manage my day. One thought that stood out was this: I need to stay in the cold plunge longer.

A cold plunge truly helps me reset. The longer I stay in, the greater the shift I feel. It’s one of my favorite tools to use. It’s a reminder that we all need to find a zone of discomfort and stay in it—whatever that looks like for you.

Breathwork is also an effective tool for helping shift your physiology and mindset too. I use breathwork in the cold plunge at the beginning, and then I follow that up with a prayer and a song. But if you think about it, the prayer and singing are unique forms of breathing too.

If you feel stuck, breathwork is something that could be impactful for you. Once you’ve tried it, ask yourself: What is the message? Your message may come in words, colors, pictures, or even a smell. That is your message for the day.

This is one great way to start your way with intention. You start in creation so that you can start moving towards the goals you want. If you find an obstacle coming up, I can help you with that inside my coaching practice. We can discover the root of what’s going on so you can get unstuck and start living the way you want.

Today’s episode is part 2 of What Makes You Great. This conversation stemmed from a phrase my grandpa Glen Stratton always said: “Don’t forget how great you is.” This is something that has always stuck with me. At times when you need to tap into your strength, remember that your greatness is something that fulfills you, gives you confidence, and allows you to live up to your talents and gifts.

What are you compromising on that’s keeping you from being great? Here’s a personal example: I love having fake nails, but I can’t play the instruments I love to play when I have them, so they are keeping me from my greatness. This is a simple example, but you get the idea.

For you, this might be diet and exercise keeping you from being your physical best. Or it could be self-sabotage habits that keep you from your own emotional well-being. It could be a toxic relationship that drains you rather than serves you.

What is it that you’re truly great at? What have you said “yes” to that your heart was a “no” for? These insights can help you figure out not only what makes you great, but how to allow yourself to embrace your greatness.

Each and every one of us has our own unique gifts and abilities, and embracing this allows us to coexist in a beautiful way. You’re in your light and truth, and so are others. God made us this way. He wants us to be great, and that is worth celebrating.

Welcome back to another episode. This month is mental health awareness month, which is the focus of today’s episode. Trigger warning: This episode discusses suicide and trauma.

I’m back in therapy, and in that space, I’ve been exploring shame. I never thought shame was such a culprit in my life until I started doing this work with my friend Joyce. What it’s revealed to me is that shame has been both a hindrance and a blessing in my life—and I’m ready to be done with it.

I have used shame as a method of control to be a better mom, better partner, and more. But it’s a lie. I don’t need to shame myself to have control. The shame game is real, but I’m so thankful for the support I’m receiving right now.

In high school, I went through major depression and was first confronted with suicidal thoughts. I would often use food as a coping mechanism. I was baking all the time and I felt really lonely. I had relationships, but they were all surface relationships. I never made any attempts, but I often had and expressed the dark thoughts I was having.

As time went on, I got married and had kids, and I spent a lot of time just making my family a priority. I spent a lot of time doing, and not a lot of time being. There were some difficult years throughout my fifth pregnancy where those thoughts came up again, but after the birth, I became committed to my healing.

You deserve healing too, whatever that looks like for you. Just taking a step in that direction is a big deal. Grounding every day keeps the darkness away. It recalibrates you into power and possibility. The door out of your worst moments is through your gifts and purpose.

Today we’re joined by special guest Jason Mow, who is the author of four books—three in historical fiction and another as an autobiography. He’s a retired first responder and a very strong person. He is also an incredible speaker who knows how to tell stories that will touch your heart.

How can you put yourself out there and feel comfortable with self-promotion? This isn’t something that came naturally to Jason. Early in life, he felt drawn to running toward chaos—which led him to become a soldier and police officer. But when this was taken away from him after being wounded, he had to rediscover who he was.

As a result, he began sharing his inspiring story with others. He wanted to reach more people, and the biggest obstacle he had towards promoting himself was simply taking the first step. Just starting is often the most difficult part of the process.

For Jason, going on his first date after divorce was scary. Hugging a woman that was not his wife after 20 years was scary, too. Still, he knew that if he wanted to grow, he had to be willing to take that step. This is true in so many aspects of life; any area where you are approaching the unknown.

You need to have the will to take that first step and be able to accept whatever consequences come of it. Throughout our lives, we have been telling ourselves what we can’t do. We’ve been training ourselves to fail. We have to reprogram our thoughts and our input so we can override the natural tendency to hold ourselves back.

In this episode, I pose the internal question of "Where to next?". In a moment of not knowing what was coming next, I recorded this vulnerable podcast. 

Being in business takes time and money. Publishing this podcast, publishing books, websites, etc all cost money! Is it worth it? Do I keep going? Listen in as I work through it in real-time.

We don't always have to know what is ten steps ahead. We can plan and have dreams. And sometimes it seems futile. God is there waiting for us to keep striving. He will meet us where we are at.
