oday’s episode is an uplifting conversation about embracing fresh starts and new beginnings.  My dear friend Diane Rodine and I discuss the importance of letting go of past disappointments in ourselves, setting realistic expectations, and making positive choices for physical, emotional, and spiritual health and strength.  We share personal stories and practical thoughts to encourage us all to view each sunrise as a chance to try again and make good choices which will help us be the best version of ourselves!!!!

What if the key to a more meaning and joy filled life is as simple as showing honor – to God and to the people around us?  In this episode, we’re talking about what it really looks like to live with honor every day, why it matters, and how it can bring more peace, purpose and joy into your life. My wonderful husband, Brian, joins me for this meaningful and inspiring conversation! I know you will be encouraged and challenged – I sure was!

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Andrea (Foti) Phillips—someone I’ve known and loved for many years. Every time I’m with her, I leave feeling encouraged and uplifted. Today, Andrea shares her journey through the heartbreaking loss of her son Roman and how she discovered God’s grace as her “superpower.” Her story is a beautiful reminder that even in the deepest grief, we can live with hope, receive grace daily, and love those around us deeply.

Chad Nelson is back for a great conversation about the joy of lifelong learning.  We talk specifically about what we have learned from our kids and the younger generation. This episode is filled with great stories and many valuable thoughts that hopefully will inspire us all to see life a little more clearly and enjoy the gift of each day.  Chad is so funny and talking with him always makes me even happier!  I am pretty sure you will really enjoy this episode.

In this episode I welcome my wonderful husband, Brian, and our conversation about the power of kindness will inspire you!  Kindness can create a ripple effect, transforming our relationships, communities, and even our own well-being. It isn’t just a nice gesture, but kindness is a powerful force that has the ability to heal, connect, and inspire.  In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, kindness is a superpower we all have…and it’s time to use it and live it!   I also begin this episode with a couple important updates about my life and our Haitian family now living in America. 

In this episode we will continue our conversation about the importance of how God designed you - with great Purpose!  We look into Scriptures that illustrate that we each have a purpose to fulfill, and discuss how gave us the right temperament to do it!  When we know the answers to "Who am I" and "Why am I here?", we have a responsibility and privilege to live it out with intention and authenticity.

Here's some online resources to help you discover your temperament.

We are all so different, yet we are called to live in community and to work together to share God’s love with this world.  How do we do this?  The best way to begin is to realize how different we all are – each one designed by God for purpose!  This is a great conversation with my friend, Sally Malchow about Temperaments,  and how important it is to understand ourselves, grow stronger in our strengths and lessen our weaknesses, so we can love ourselves and others more deeply, fulfilling His purpose for our lives.

I finally know – really know deep in my heart – that God loves me unconditionally. It’s not just words, or a hope … but becoming my reality.  It took me many years to realize that I can’t earn His love. I tried – but I could never be good enough, or do enough to be worthy of God’s love.  He loves me as I am.  He won’t love me more if I do better, or love me less when I fail.  He loves me 100% - all the time…because GOD IS LOVE.   I can rest in this.  I can trust Him.  His unconditional love makes me want to be my best… to love others… to shine His love all that I can. My sweet friend Cheryl Orluck and I had a beautiful conversation about how our Heavenly Father loves us, His daughters, now and forever!  I have more to learn…so let’s grow together as we talk about God’s never failing love!
