Welcome to the learning to flourish podcast - we are your hosts, Kelsey Dannehl and Laura Jean Tremblay. This is a place to stop waiting, and learn to flourish exactly where we are - right in the in-between. 

Join us each week as we discuss topics that pertain to daily life and how we can flourish in the here and now

This Podcast is presented by The BLVED Collective

The news is out! Introducing BLVED Workshops! 

We were designed to thrive. To flourish in the vocations we are called to. 

But, let’s face it, it is incredibly hard to do that with so many distractions coming at us from every side, not to mention all the lies that tell us we do not deserve to flourish or thrive. 

Here’s the truth: you are made good. 

You were designed with a purpose

You are capable and worthy of flourishing 

But as with many things, we need to learn skills in order to grow. That is why I have created these workshops to equip you to take action in the areas and ways that will make a difference in your life. 

These workshops are tailor made for those who:

Are ready to step up and make changes

Want clarity in knowing what steps to take 

Are committed to becoming the person they were created to be 

In these workshops you will learn how to clear out the noise and distractions, and walk away with a unique plan for growth that is designed by you and for you. Workshops are a great tool to digest information, while at the same time making it immediately applicable to your life. 

The topics are:

1. Let's Be Saints!
2. Longing transformed workshop: Channeling the single longing into growth
3. Foundations for forever: Intentional marriage preparation workshop 

Registration opens July 5th! Look at the website for more information

In todays episode we are tackling two things I hear said often that don't quite communicate what the person saying them thinks they do

Here are the cliff notes:

Saying #1 You’re doing fine

1. Allows people to stay where they are - even if they are exhibiting destructive behavior or vices
2. No invitation to grow and be better
3. Giving up on them in a way

Instead say: I see you and your effort, keep going

1. Gives real encouragement
2. Invites them further
3. Gives them purpose and lets them know you’re in their corner

Saying #2 It should be easy if its meant to be

Mathew 16:24-26

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life?

What is right will always take work

There is a difference between hard and hard work

Neither should stop you

Eternal life is worth every discomfort we think we will experience

This week we celebrate the feast of the visitation

The visitation is one of my favorite mysteries to meditate on because it is just so human. It is all about community and coming together supporting each others needs. 

Mary went up in haste to the hill country 

Let’s be saints together! 

Let’s go in haste to help our fellow men

Let’s be good examples for each other

Let’s hold on to the truth

Let’s support each other in the good, bad, and ugly

Let’s call each other on and up towards heaven
