Fear is a little tricky emotion. It can hinder us. It can paralyze us. It can keep us from being all of who God has called us to be. It can convince us that shrinking is being humble. For the longest, I hoped that I would get to a place in my life where I would never have to confront or struggle with fear ever again.
But is it possible that a small dose of fear could actually be a good thing? In this episode I am challenging us to rethink what we have learned about fear, how it can actually be beneficial to us, and what I do when fear comes knocking on my door.

How Regular Women Live Big Lives with God by Faith Eury Cho
The need to prove myself was my hidden driving force for a long season of my life. It was the fuel behind me working late strenuous hours, hustling, saying yes when I should have said no, and feeling like I had to compete for and chase what was already mine. Can you relate? Have you battled with this as well?
My guest, Liv Dooley is joining us today to share how her need to prove herself to others rewired her brain. She also shares details of her struggle with substances to numb her pain and how she had to work through the process of healing her heart. Her practical tips and wisdom will help you with knowing exactly what to do when you're feeling insecure and unsure of what to do.
Liv reassures us that is okay to lean all the way into our "extraness" and truly be who God created us to be. Tune in. I assure that her words will be balm for your soul.
About Liv Dooley:
Liv has a gift for drawing others into the Word of God in new and refreshing ways, and there is nothing she likes to talk about more. She is a Bible teacher, author, and the podcast host of The Best Kept Secret with Liv Dooley.

Gone are the days of us hoping that our children will value multiethnicity automatically or learn how to from someone else. If you're wondering where to start, I want you to lean all the way into today's episode with open hands and heart as Helen and I discuss:
I want to challenge all of us to be brave and willing to start the change within. Grab a copy of this book and rally others around us to read it as well and do this journey together.

Wives of Integrity Conference:
What do you do when you start to encounter physical limitations that are getting in the way of what you've dreamed-- how you imagined your life would be?

Her passion is sharing words of humor and hope with wounded and weary people, and she enjoys singing on the praise team at the church where her husband is the worship pastor.
