Living Easy with Lindsey

The 2-hour 'Modern Proverbs 31 Woman Course' Launches TODAY for only $37!!! The Wife Project will be here again in October 2021!!

On today's episode, I had the wonderful (and fun and hilarious) opportunity to sit down with my little sister-in-love, Tynisha Medina.

Tynisha has recently changed her life by dedicating her time to caring for her body in a way that has altered her mental health immensely for the better. She has lost over 30 lbs and has recently been helping me to get fit! We talk about how she forced herself into the first steps of a healthy lifestyle and the tips she uses to stay consistent.

Working out is a wise and godly decision and effort, and in this conversation we discuss what it means to show up when you don't want to, how actually being at the gym has helped our 'Instagram fitness' mindsets and why we have continued on this path together (even though it's hard.)

We discuss one-sided friendships and how she let go of friends from her past to then find friends who made her feel like she belonged. We discuss feeling excluded, how you can be in different seasons while still maintaining a friendship, as well as the importance of intentionality and effort in those relationships.

Welcome to the first episode of my Behind Closed Doors: Real Conversations with Real Friends series! This will be a series of conversations with MY people! My friends and family who pour life into me day in and day out. I wanted to take a step away from the interview style for a bit to show you a peek into my life. The conversations that you'll hear are ones that we have regularly on my couch (or on theirs) with coffee in hand!

This first episode is with my dear friend, Shayna. If you ever meet Shayna, you're just a lucky person. I truly don't know anyone who is more kind, gentle and thoughtful and who genuinely just wants the best for everyone in her life. She is one of the mothers that I look up to the most in my life.

On today's conversation, we are talking about a family-day out that resulted in the loss of her finger and the potential loss of another in the thick of 2020. Shayna shares how the healing process and the grief have affected her life and relationship with Jesus. We are also talking about slowing down in life and in motherhood and why she admires the Swedish lifestyle so much that she began implementing it into her own life.

She is one of my very dear friends and I know you will love her as much as I do.

If you enjoy this episode, be sure to listen in to episodes 26, 39 and 66.

One of the things that leads the way that I parent my children is the desire for them to feel safe and to openly communicate with me about anything that they have going on in their lives. I want to be a safe place. On today's episode, Bethany Adkins and Lindsey Maestas are talking about how to be intentional with your children, to foster openness as they get older, how conflict is a part of every home but how you respond to that conflict is what matters most. And we also discuss how to find balance in parenting children when you don't see eye-to-eye with your spouse. Bethany and Lindsey both struggle with patience and gentleness, but managing tantrums with grace and having those hard conversations with grace is a part of our journey. We are learning and growing and we want to share that with all of you! **P.S. Please forgive my audio quality on this episode, I forgot my microphone at home and was at the office. So sorry!** Find Bethany on IG: @bethanyadkins and don't forget to visit her website!

In today's honest and vulnerable conversation, Tiffany Bluhm and I are talking about how abuse, shame, blame and regret from past decisions can impact our sexuality and our sexual and intimate relationships with our spouses.

Tiffany is an advocate for justice and for speaking out and she has just finished authoring her new book: Prey Tell: Why We Silence Women Who Tell the Truth and How Everyone Can Speak Up where she explores the complex dynamics of power and abuse in systems that we find ourselves in.

We dig into the way that the world portrays women's sexuality and how that affects the way that we view ourselves. We talk about our growth as young girls and the evolution of becoming mature women and why it can be so difficult to feel intimate with our spouse when we live in such shame.

'Is my sexuality broken?' is a question that I receive often. Today, we are sharing God's heart and intention for you and your future - no matter what your past may look like.

On today's episode, I am talking to someone you might recognize from our past podcast - Milk and Honey - my friend Amaris Beecher. We are discussing God's beautiful design and intentions for your sexuality and how to navigate that as a single person.

Amaris shares her story of growing up as a Christian and what dating looked like for her as well as the commitments that she made as a single.

We talk about the single person's GOOD desire for sex, preparing for intimacy in marriage while remaining pure in singleness, and our thoughts (and, of course, God's word) on having sex with a boyfriend or fiancé.

We touch on arousal, orgasm, fleeing from sin and temptation, maintaining sexual integrity as a Christian single man or woman and the ultimate purpose and design of the sexual desire that you have.

If you haven't already had a chance to listen to my past episodes in this sex series with Dr. Juli Slattery and Phylicia Masonheimer on The Living Easy Podcast, you don't want to miss those!

I also discuss singleness and dating on Episode 42 with my friend, Kait Warman, titled: Singleness isn't a disease - How God is Working In Your Waiting.

Lastly, my personal testimony about relationship dependency, promiscuity and healing from relationships is on Episode 30, so do take a second to check those out after you tune into this episode!
