Own Your Revival

Welcome to Own Your Revival! 🔥

IIn 2025, the word "vulnerability" has been chasing me, appearing in unexpected places and conversations. Reflecting on my recent speaking engagements, I noticed that sharing my personal testimony + journey left me feeling a wee bit exposed 😅, yet the feedback often highlighted my vulnerability. This made me question: Did this have more to do with me, or was it resonating with others' stories, hearts and minds? Interestingly, we often feel more comfortable with others' vulnerability than our own. Brené Brown's insight comes to mind: "Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity." By embracing our own vulnerability, we create a space for others to do the same, fostering deep connections and mutual healing. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on vulnerability, authenticity and personal growth.

🎙️ Today's Guest: [Laura Buddenberg] On this episode of Own Your Revival, I had the joy of sitting down with Laura Buddenberg to talk about something so many parents worry about—helping our kids feel like they truly belong. Laura has spent years working with kids and families, especially during her time at Boys Town, and she's seen firsthand how strong connections can protect kids from the pain of bullying and isolation. We get real about what belonging looks like, why it matters, and how you can create it in your child's life. If you've ever wondered how to help your kids stand strong and feel secure in who they are, this conversation is for you.

🚨Spoiler Alert! This episode includes references to the original Gladiator movie featuring Russell Crowe. You might want to watch it before you listen. (It's soooo good!)

In this episode, we're exploring the feminine genius and the powerful way women can inspire and strengthen men by honoring the good they bring to the world. I'll share personal stories of men demonstrating true virtue, unpack timeless wisdom from St. John Paul II, and even draw inspiration from the flawed yet noble character of Maximus Decimus Meridius in Gladiator. While Maximus isn't without his struggles and sins, his courage, leadership, and sacrificial love offer timeless examples of authentic masculinity. Together, let's discover how grace allows us to celebrate the good while embracing imperfection—and start a ripple of encouragement that uplifts us all.

Welcome back to Own Your Revival🔥

As we enter this time of slowing down, waiting and preparing for the birth of our Lord, which is opposite of everything we see, hear and experience in a culture that practically steps over the Thanksgiving holiday to push Christmas + consumerism, can we prepare our hearts to receive Jesus on Christmas? I humbly propose we move the needle off of productivity and checking all the lists twice to a healthy balance focused on maintaining presence with Christ in prayer and those we love on the daily. As we enter the sacred season of Advent, it's a time to step back and reflect on our journey, embracing the quiet moments that allow us to listen for God's voice amidst the busyness of life. This season invites us to grieve the losses that come with change—whether it's the evolution of family traditions or the growing independence of our children—while also creating space for meaningful connections. By prioritizing stillness and prayer, we can draw closer to Jesus, nurturing our hearts and those of our loved ones as we prepare for His coming. In this way, Advent becomes not just a countdown to Christmas, but a profound opportunity for spiritual renewal and familial bonding. Join me inside this episode (complete with a crackling 🔥 in the background) for more meditations on this.

Welcome back to Own Your Revival🔥

Do you long for the joy, connection and celebration of the holiday season, but struggle with waves of stress, anxiety, and (maybe) unresolved trauma? If so, you are not alone. The pressure to create the perfect holiday experience can lead to feelings of inadequacy, especially when family dynamics are complicated or past traumas resurface. As we gather with loved ones, the weight of expectations can amplify feelings of loneliness, disappointment, and emotional turmoil.

In this episode of the Own Your Revival podcast, we delve into the heart of what makes the holidays so challenging. Our guest, Mackenzie Reed, a licensed professional counselor specializing in trauma, shares invaluable insights into how our brains respond to stress and trauma during this time of year. By understanding the different brain states—our primal instincts of safety, emotional connections, and executive functioning—we can begin to navigate our feelings more effectively.

Mackenzie introduces trauma-sensitive tools that empower us to reclaim our peace and joy amidst the chaos. From mindfulness exercises that engage our senses to recognizing and challenging negative thought patterns, these strategies can help us create a more grounded and fulfilling holiday experience. Join us as we explore how to foster healthier relationships, set boundaries, and cultivate a sense of belonging, allowing us to embrace the true spirit of the season.

Welcome back to Own Your Revival🔥

Join Andy as she draws a poignant parallel between the tension of last Tuesday's historic event in the United States with the emotion of divorce court, where the stakes feel equally high as individuals await a ruling on custody. Just as in divorce, where both parties often have differing perspectives yet ultimately desire what is best for their children, the recent election has highlighted deep divides among the American people. How do we bridge the gap in the new normal of our democracy to love, empathize and foster a spirit of unity?
