  • 53. From Anxiety to Global Speaking - Patsy Clairmont

    Our guest this week is Patsy Clairmont! She has been trotting the globe bringing her message of Faith, laced with her gift of humorous storytelling for over 40 years.

    Some of you may be familiar with her work as an author, God uses cracked Pots, or Normal is just a setting on your dryer and over 35 titles.

    Perhaps you know her as a speaker from her Women of Faith Conference days but what you may not know about her is how deeply she struggled with

    Agoraphobia, depression & anxiety attacks early in her adult life. 

    Today, you will hear her transformative story, how God healed her and how she continues to live life in Crescendo.

    If you’ve ever struggled with any of these things, or felt like there is no hope for your life or healing from your past,  I know you will find hope and encouragement in her words!

  • 51. Career Changes , Pauses & Resiliance with Karen Anderson

    This week on the podcast we are talking about career changes, pauses and resilience! Our guest who started out as a therapist then becoming not only a best selling author but a strategic book coach and publisher.

    Karen Anderson's career doesn’t look a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g like it did when she graduated college.

    She even had an 8 year career pause because she was caregiving to several family members and friends who had terminal illness. Obviously not a part of her plan.

    If you have struggled that your life or career didn’t exactly turn out where you had aimed. I hope you will listen expectantly to hear how sometimes the twist and turns of our life are guideposts that lead us exactly where our gifts and talents are needed.
