Heroes For Her

My guest for episode 23 is Lisa Bevere. She rocks. Lisa is an international speaker, best-selling author, and co-founder of Messenger International. She is a powerful advocate for women everywhere to "break free of comparison and competition, embrace God's purpose, and realize a life without rival." Chills! I could not love this woman more.   In this episode, you'll hear Lisa's heart for the struggles that we face as women: comparison, confusion, and everything in between. She also digs deeper into how God does not love us equally: He loves us uniquely. There are so many truths revealed in this episode that I've already used, both in conversations with Rooney and with myself (Yes, I talk to myself. Judge away).  You'll also hear what inspired her new book, "Without Rival," which just released on August 16! This is the book every woman needs to read. Find it here on Amazon!

Drum roll please... My guest for episode 22 is MOPS President and CEO Mandy Arioto! Mandy represents "the mothering voice" of MOPS, an international organization with over 100,000 members. If you are a mom with young kids (birth to kindergarten) and you aren't plugged into MOPS, stop what you're doing and get involved! Being a part of a safe community of other moms has saved me during my time as a new mama, and I know it will bless you!   In this episode, you'll hear about how Mandy was first introduced to MOPS (as a new mom who was in need of support), just like so many of us. A few years later, she and her husband Joe decided to move with their kids to Colorado so Mandy could work directly for the organization that was there for her in those early years of motherhood.  You'll also hear what inspired this year's MOPS theme, "We Are the Starry Eyed" and get all the details about Mandy's new book, "Starry-Eyed: Seeing Grace in the Unfolding Constellation of Life and Motherhood." It is set to release on August 30, so get over to Amazon and order it now!   We all want our kids to feel loved and supported, and that starts with us. We have to set the example ourselves. As moms, we need encouragement and the reminder that we are chosen. We are loved. We are not alone. Even when it feels like there is darkness all around us, we can search for and find the light. Together. And when we need courage, or strength, we know that "we can take our sisters with us."   Don't miss this week's episode, "Starlight and Sister Courage."

My guest for episode 21 is Kara Kae James. "A complete mess covered in grace", KK is a wife to Brook and mama to three girls and one newly adopted and adorable baby boy. She is the co-founder and Executive Director of Thrive Moms, an online ministry that provides daily encouragement and resources for moms everywhere.  Thrive Moms has been a life-changing resource for me as I've spent the last two years learning about what it means to be a mom. Like so many moms out there, I spent the early months in survival mode. I thought that if I could just get through each day, then that was enough. But being a mom is so much more than just trying to make it through the day or complaining about how hard it is.  Listen to today's episode, "Called to Thrive, Not Survive", and be encouraged that being a mom is not about surviving. It's about stepping boldly into what we've all been called to do. It's about celebrating and owning this glorious adventure.

Why is leadership so important, and how do we inspire it in ourselves and our kids? My guest for episode 20 is Elise Boggs. Elise is a leadership expert whose passion in life is "equipping the next generation of marketplace leaders to change the world". For the past several years, she has been a professor in southern California-based universities, teaching leadership theory and a wide variety of graduate and undergraduate courses. As a certified Emotional Intelligence coach, her expertise lies in problem solving and other leadership-related challenges. Check out today's episode: "Character and Excellence" and listen as Elise breaks down some practical tools for parents who want to help their kids build real values like self-acceptance, kindness, and the confidence to be who God created them to be.
