Navigate with Tim Austin

Welcome to Navigate with Tim Austin. In this episode we'll be exploring the significance of what Tim calls anchor points, and how they can help us find stability in the winds and waves of change.

Transitions are a natural part of life. They often come unexpectedly and can leave us feeling lost and unsure of where we stand. The steadiness and stability we once knew can seem like distant memories. But what if there was a way to navigate these uncertain times with more confidence and clarity? That's where anchor points come in.

In this first episode of a brand new season, Heidi Lewerenz introduces a strategy for navigating change she calls "microseasons." This values-based approach to doing what matters  helps us measure impact and success in shorter intervals so we don't lose sight of our priorities and as Heidi puts it "sacrifice what's important on the altar of what gets noticed."
Navigate is all about taking the guesswork out of transition. Ready to dive into a new season of Navigate? Let's go!

The summer months bring unique opportunities for big moments.  Breaks from routine, vacations, time with family and friends…it all comes with opportunities to experience those big moments that don’t present themselves every day. 

And so it’s appropriate to be having a conversation with our guest today, someone who not only recognizes the value and the growth potential in life’s Big moments; she’s taken it a step further to come alongside others in their moments...and does this for a living.

About Tim's Guest:

Sonja Wallenbeck helps Christian moms with the tools to thrive in life’s big moments instead of just survive. She is helping mothers look back at milestone moments and see joy in the journey and fulfillment in the memories.

As a Certified REALIFE Process® Facilitator and a Certified ©iEnneagram Practitioner, Sonja’s hope is for women to be able to walk confidently and successfully through their big moments while learning more about themselves and how they should navigate these moments well. Sonja’s been married for over 28 years, has three grown daughters, and, as you can imaging, has walked through a lot of these moments herself. Sonja believes that every mom deserves to have a cheerleader walking alongside them during the most bittersweet milestones of life.
