I Can Do That! episodes
- Traversing Rough TerrainAre you now, or have you recently been, in a difficult situation? Most of us have at least one circumstance in our lives, at any given point, that isn’t going the way we had hoped. Today I’m sharing a personal story of climbing a mountain at high elevation. Together, we’ll look at it literally and metaphorically.I’m Gem Fadling and it’s time for ICDT.8 min
- Four Ways to Connect Soulfully to GodIn preparation for co-leading a pilgrimage for women to Italy last month, I spent some time getting to know St. Catherine of Siena and St. Clare of Assisi. These two female saints were quite formidable in their passion and love for God—and what that meant for their own souls and those around them.I’m Gem Fadling and it’s time for I Can Do That!8 min
- Pilgrimage as a LifestyleThe day this episode releases, I will be in Italy with 15 wonderful women. We will be on a pilgrimage.People have been engaging pilgrimage for centuries. Yes, it is a physical journey but it's also an inward exploration of the soul. Pilgrimage is a chance to connect with your inner life, your deepest held beliefs, and your relationship with God in a focused and intentional way.Let's talk PILGRIMAGE, today on I Can Do That!

- The Problem with Being DiscontentYou may have heard me announce here that we now take the month of July each year as a mini sabbatical. I engage no work, no work-related email, and no social media. It is a much-needed way of disengaging that allows body and soul to rest at a deeper level.One benefit of extended time like that is that I can get in touch with ideas, longings, dynamics and desires that typically stay buried underneath the flurry of activity in my day-to-day life. I’d like to share with you one such “get-in-touch” moment from my time away.It's time for I Can Do That!9 min
- A Factory Reset for Your SoulA while back I had a conversation with a group of leaders. We were talking about spiritual practices and the need for refreshment and refilling. (As you can imagine, I talk about this a lot). One of the people mentioned that this was all fine and good but what about REAL life.I’ve heard this comment many times before, and I typically leave it alone. But more recently I’ve begun to pause the conversation (whether with an individual or a small group) to take a closer look at what “real” means.Welcome to today's I Can Do That! Podcast8 min
- Enjoying the UnexpectedGrowing up on our small six-acre farm in Washington was wonderful. As a child, I enjoyed many hours and days of leisure. This was back in the day before the information age. One phone connected to a wall and five channels on the TV (and I was the remote control). I had a pogo stick, a skateboard, a bike and a horse. What else could you need?One of my favorite memories was rolling down a small hill in our front yard. It was probably only a four-foot incline, but for a young one like me it was a delight. I spent hours lying in the grass, watching butterflies and bees, looking up at tall pine branches hanging overhead, or simply watching the sky.Today we’re going to think about enjoying the little, and sometimes unexpected, aspects of life. welcome to I Can Do That!

- Finding Grace When Suffering Lingers (K.J. Ramsey)Today I’m sharing a timely replay from the Unhurried Living Podcast. I interviewed K.J. Ramsey on her book This Too Shall Last: Finding Grace When Suffering Lingers.The entire episode will play, including an introduction of K.J., so for now, I’ll leave you with this. You are not alone in your suffering and K.J. is an expert on this, having suffered physically for years. Listen and take heart.I’m Gem Fadling and it’s time for I Can Do That.44 min
- Fruit That Lasts (Jodie Niznik)I recently had the pleasure of spending a weekend with Jodie Niznik. She is a delightful and capable teacher and leader. We actually got snowed in for one day up in the mountains. Fortunately it melted quickly and we weren’t stranded for long.We talked about fruitfulness inspired by God, as compared to productivity inspired by me…which can sometimes lead to over-giving.We often think we need to accomplish things by direct action. But fruitfulness works a little differently. Jodie and I dig into that and I trust you’ll find some nuggets to tuck away as well as some new action steps.I’m Gem Fadling and it’s time for I Can Do That!38 min
- Sabbatical: Rest, Play, RelationshipWhat is the purpose of a sabbatical and how is it even possible? Great questions that I answer today as Alan and I prepare for our 3rd annual monthly sabbatical.I'm Gem and it's time for I Can Do That!7 min
- The Prime of LifeA few months ago a semi-prominent newscaster made a flippant comment about women over 50 not being in their prime. He gave examples from a google search that said women in their twenties and thirties are in their prime. Of course, being a woman over 50, I had some very strong feelings about this dismissive statement.I wanted to say something via social media or email in real time about his comment, but decided not to enter the fray of reactive dialogue.But time passed, and I forgot about the newscaster’s comment, until recently when I saw a movie in which a man spoke endearingly to a woman over 50, “You look like you’re in your prime to me.” A sweet and heartfelt statement at just the right time in their story.So I thought about the word “prime” again. What does that even mean? I looked it up. This is where we’re headed…7 min
