  • Ep 32. The Value of Mother & Child with Pat Wiedemer
    In today's episode Pat Wiedemer, President of the board at Life Canada, joins me to discuss the very real issues that we are facing in regards to abortion in Canada. Our lack of laws regarding abortion in this country speaks volumes about the value we place on life, not only life in the womb but the emotional, mental and spiritual health of our women and their families.
    Discussion:
    - the reality of consequences following abortion
    - societal pressures that make abortion look like an easy “way out” of pregnancy, while leaving women hurting and alone in their regret
    - we discuss the misinformation regarding the often looked upon “grey area” of rape/incest cases and why choosing life is always the best decision for both mother and baby!
    Pat Wiedemer is the Executive Director of PEI LIFE and is also the President of the LifeCanada National Association. Working to providing life-affirming solutions for today’s generation she seeks to offer alternative ways to reach out and support those in need.
    Recently, she became the proud grandmom of her third grandbaby. Since the death of her husband, Pat resides in PEI, Canada with her family and has the great privilege of living close to her grandbabies too!

  • Ep 31. Hard Conversations With Our Kids: The Truth About Pornography & Sex Trafficking with Benji Nolot
    Today we are starting a new series of episodes called Hard Conversations With Our Kids.
    An ongoing series to equip all parents in their journeys to raise healthy, grounded, God-fearing kids.
    There is a battle raging for our children’s hearts and minds like never before and our call to prepare and protect them is so real. If we choose to ignore the calling we have to build up healthy channels of communication with our children, they WILL seek out the information they desire elsewhere.
    We need to be the first place they come, not google or their peers.
    My prayer is that this ongoing series will help equip you for these conversations that might feel a little intimidating.
    Today, Exodus Cry founder and film producer Benji Nolot joins me to talk about his mission to see pornography distribution laws tightened dramatically to protect our children online along with his 15 year fight to end sex trafficking around the world. I know you’re going to gain a lot of insight from his first hand perspective, having worked undercover, interviewing those directly involved in the porn industry. He gets right to the heart of the issues that exist in this corrupt and broken world.
    During our powerful conversation Benji gets an incredible update. A great move forward in the fight against online pornography!
    NOTE: Please be aware that this episode is for adult ears only. The content is not suitable for children so continue listening with that in mind.

  • 29. Healing from Hormonal Imbalance with September McCarthy
    Hormones affect every part of our mental, emotional and physical health and are often ignored by the professionals we see for our healthcare support.
    Medication for anxiety or pill/devices to control bleeding are often a first resort to fix symptoms of an imbalance but as you will hear in todays discussion, there is a better way and it starts with acknowledging that something feels "off" with our body and then taking the time to be educated. Balancing hormones requires patience but the results can be life changing.
    My guest today is September McCarthy, who joined me here for the first time back in February of 2020 and she is sharing with us her personal, eye opening experience with hormonal imbalance.
    She speaks openly about the realization that imbalanced hormones had been affecting her life for a long time but lack of medical support and education had prevented her from getting the testing that would have benefited her greatly.
    September shares with us the steps she took towards healing and the way she is teaching her daughters to have a greater awareness than she did. Amazing. What an important topic to discuss with all of the women in our life!
    An important note:
    Neither September nor I are medical professionals, however we do believe in the importance of this conversation and hope to encourage you to seek hormonal testing if anything you hear today resonates.

  • 27. Trauma and Courageous Celebration with Nicole Zasowski
    Nicole Zasowski is back with us today to discuss trauma and finding the courage to celebrate.
    We explore what the different types of traumas are, what a healing journey looks like and the importance of receiving care vs. avoidance.
    I get a little personal and share about a little T trauma I experienced years ago that still affects me today.
    You might find it surprising?
    Trauma, big and small, does affect you more than you realize, whether it’s personal or present in the life of someone close to you.
    Nicole offers us some invaluable insight into why celebration is a must for everyone no matter their circumstances and how we can do that in the simplest of ways.

  • 25. Understanding Stress and Avoiding Burnout with Shawna Scafe
    Stress.
    It’s apart of our lives whether we want it to be or not.
    We can’t control how often life’s waters feel turbulent but we can control our response to it!
    Fear and avoidance are not the way to do that and today my guest Shawna Scafe and I discuss how the acceptance of stress and healthy self care really make a huge difference!
    Shawna is a wife, mom of 3, podcast host and life coach. In her coaching she uses biblical principles to encourage and equip women in all areas of life to enjoy their lives and take the necessary steps to flourish in the role they feel called to whether that is motherhood, career or both.

  • 24. Preparing for Life’s Storms with Kathryn Hart
    Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”
    Luke 6: 47-49 ESV
    Nothing could be more important in our current culture and, more specifically, in motherhood than preparing for life’s storms. We do this by building a solid foundation and today my guest, Kathryn Hart, joins me to discuss some of her own life storms and what the Lord has taught her about being prepared.
    It’s a rich conversation and you may want to grab a pen and paper to jot down notes and takeaways!
