Hey There, It's Danielle

Boundaries in relationship actually create freedom, not restriction -- allowing us to show up safely as our most authentic selves. Why then wouldn't we also create boundaries for the relationships we have through and with social media? This week, Danielle dives into a few of the reasons why boundaries are critical social media and some of her own examples of what the boundaries she has created. When we know what we will and will not allow into our internal world, we create systems to cultivate our environment. Let's dive in this week, hear a few ideas and grab a paper and pen to take notes and create your own systems and boundaries to set up your life and relationships for the most thriving and abundant success!

This question drove so much of my life for so long. What do you think about me? How am I perceived by you? And for a long time, others' perceptions of me was 100% my responsibility. Spoiler alert, I was exhausted and emotionally drained all the time. As we are working through what is OUR responsibility, you'll be thrilled to know that there are some things that aren't yours to own! Your thoughts, feelings, actions are all yours to manage. But what falls into someone else's management? Take a listen to quite possibly my favorite episode yet as we get more and more powerful and free in healthy relationship. 

Uh oh, another episode where we take a hard look at owning our own "stuff" and being responsible people. We've jumped headfirst into emotional health, managing your thought life and being powerful people. In this episode, Danielle reminds us that it is no one's responsibility to manage our feelings but ourself. And the more we grasp this truth, the freer and more powerful we become. Take a listen and then continue the conversation with yourself, your people and with God as these teaser episodes are meant to serve as conversation starters! We're all growing and becoming who we're made to be, grab a tip or a tool along the way and apply it to your journey!

Ok we need a hard reset. All this talk about "best self" creates a static standard of behavior, emotional well-being, and effort that literally cannot be achieved. It's time we take a look at our "best self" as a fluid process rather than a destination of perfection. One day, your best self is going to do ALL the things, feel SUPER great about life and win the day! The next day, your best self may need a nap and a good cry! So long as we're staying connected to the Father and committed to the journey of being conformed into the image of Jesus, our "best" can shift.

This week, I take a hard look at "the way we've always done it" when it comes to parenting. When I realized a completely new mindset and thought process, I hopped on mic to process it out-loud with my listeners for the first time! So this is definitely one of those "work-in-progress" episodes where I am still personally unpacking some new ideas and beliefs! Join me, Danielle Stinespring, as I share some new thoughts on parenting but also how we relate to the world around us! My hope is that even those without young kids will find a nugget or take away some truth for your own journey! And bonus: you'll hear some pretty cute voices hop on the mic for a moment!

It's my first ever marriage episode! If you're married or not, tune in! In this episode, I dive into some of my favorite tips for being intentional in your relationship! Hear about how Andy and I prioritize our marriage even in the middle of work, busy schedules, young kids, ministry, and our personal dreams and calls! Married people: get out the pen and paper! Single people: store away some of these goodies for your future! ALL people: a lot of these tips apply just to intentional living -- which of these can you apply to yourself personally?

It's time to talk about my sabbatical! How does my story of finding myself in a new season relate to your own journey of processing where you are AND how you got there? Join me, Danielle Stinespring as I let you into my own process in hopes that it brings clarity to yours! 

Recognizing that we were created to operate in a rhythm is something that can be really difficult but ultimately incredibly freeing. Seasons of DOING and accomplishing are so important (and FUN!) but seasons of rest and waiting and stillness are equally as important for our health and ultimately for our longterm sustainability and productivity. When I realized that God's Grace for my life matches the season I'm in, it changed everything! Listen in and let's talk about it!. 

Uh oh -- my thoughts are taking over my life! Sometimes, especially in difficult seasons, its a good reminder to let your thoughts know who is in charge. Chat with me, Danielle Stinespring, while I give a few thoughtful tips on managing our thought-life! 

Last week, we heard a story about allowing yourself space to process emotions! Today we talk about not letting those emotions totally rule the world! Join me, Danielle Stinespring, as we dive into emotional intelligence again this week.
