May 11, 2020 Quarantine Ep. 5: Sex, Skincare, The Power of Your Words & Caring For Your Body
Physical and emotional self-care don't only include face masks and long, silent showers. We have the power to increase our joy and shift our perspective of life by the words that we speak (aloud and to ourselves), choosing self-discipline in the hard things (like meal planning and exercise) and being intentional with our sex lives.
On this episode, Lindsey dives in to the importance of self control and 10 ways that you can increase your joy in this way.

She discusses why you should write down what you're thankful for, why fasting is essential for the Christian (and how to do it properly according to God's word), how to unplug and offers fresh ideas for serving your neighbors and your loved ones.

April 06, 2020 26 | Jennie Lusko: Overcoming Mom Guilt and Raising Godly Children
Being a momma can be a rollercoaster of emotions and parenting alongside our spouses can sometimes feel the same. On today's episode, Jennie Lusko and I discuss overcoming mom guilt, instilling kindness and godliness in our children and what to do when our children grow up and actively choose sin.
Jennie shares about the parenting tensions and disagreements that she and her husband, Pastor Levi Lusko, have had and how they have learn to come together as 'one' in those situations. She shares about her own sensitivities as a mom and how she has learned to find balance with those convictions. She discusses her new book, Fight to Flourish, and why she believes it is so important to not bloom where you're planted, but to water, weed and grow. She encourages women to 'be' right where God has them and to allow Him to do the work that only He can do.

March 30, 2020 25 | Escaping Perfectionism, Insecurity & People-Pleasing
Alanna Garcia has been one of my best friends for over 20 years. She is an old soul, a woman who pours wisdom into my life and leads her life with a heart of sincere compassion. We have seen the best and worst of one another, and one thing that we struggle with equally is fear of man, insecurity and striving for perfectionism. On today's episode, Alanna and I share vulnerably about their pasts and how fear and insecurity have impacted our lives and what we have learned from it. We talk about hyper-criticism, living authentically and how to stop apologizing for 'taking up space'. We laugh often and share our struggles and biblical encouragement in hopes that you will feel comfortable and challenged to move forward from the internal battles that you face as an individual.

March 23, 2020 24 | How to Overcome a Surface Level Faith
Do you feel like you need a pretty coffee mug and picture-perfect setup before you can open your Bible? Do you rely on pretty Pinterest verses or Christian Instagram captions as the basis of your faith and knowledge of God? If so, you will quickly find that that won't outlast life's storms - and it surely won't offer you salvation or an assurance of your faith. On today's episode, Phylicia Masonheimer and Lindsey Maestas are discussing the importance of knowing God's word for yourself. She shares practical steps and tips regarding how to study the Bible and truly understand it on your own. Phylicia also discusses her new book, Stop Calling Me Beautiful, about finding soul-deep strength in a skin deep world. This book is full of SO much wisdom and challenging encouragement. It will leave you longing for more of Jesus - and nothing less. Find Phylicia on Instagram Follow along with The Living Easy Podcast Follow along with Lindsey Maestas

March 16, 2020 23 | When Friends Become Enemies (Or Distant Friends) and What to Do
Friendships can be difficult. Sometimes they change and shift organically. Other times, they end painfully. On today's episode, Lindsey is sharing about her recent experience with two very difficult friendships that she has had to say goodbye to. She shares her sinful desire to talk about it again and again to make it 'go away' or to simply feel better and how she battled that. She discusses her longing for fairness and justice and how God re-directed her prayers which, in turn, re-directed her heart. If you have friendships that have changed seasons or are dealing with someone who has really hurt you, this episode will encourage and challenge you to place Jesus above all else.

She talks about how we can be a blessing to others when we stop focusing inward and begin looking outward.
