Our Friday Coffee Talk episodes are a time for Danielle and I to chat about anything and everything. We are so happy this community enjoys hearing us talk about things that often get discussed at a coffee shop, the things you tell your girlfriends.

Today we are sipping coffee and talking about letting go and releasing guilt.  Both Danielle and I made some big shifts in our jobs in 2015.  It meant changes to so many things and with that we both felt a lot of guilt for things like a messy house, not having the same income as years prior etc. 

We're talking about how we had to let go of those feelings of guilt, and what happened after we did.

Marisa is the marketing director for FashionABLE. FashionABLE believes their role is to INVEST IN A WOMAN. When a woman is empowered with work to do, whether in the home or in an office, she not only experiences the joy and satisfaction of developing a skill, she also creates change in those around her. FASHIONABLE’s role in this story is working with women, both locally and globally, who have overcome challenges ranging from prostitution to addiction to a lack of opportunity.

Marisa lives in Nashville with her husband, they are expecting their first child in Spring 2016.

Today we are sipping coffee and talking about the importance of taking time off.  This could be an entire day, an afternoon, or even just giving yourself a late start to the day.  We think it is important that you give yourself time to breathe, whether you work from home, at an office, are  stay at home mom, or all 3!

p.s. If you would be so kind as to leave us a review on iTunes, we would be forever appreciative. If you are unsure about how leave us a review you can watch this quick tutorial that Danielle put together!

As a wife, mom, and worship leader, one of my biggest passions is to encourage mothers in their calling, and inspire children to be lifelong worshipers of Jesus. Two years ago I co-founded an online ministry for moms called Thrive Moms, where we seek to encourage and empower imperfect moms with the perfect grace and love of Christ.

When I’m not writing or leading worship for Thrive, I spend my days fixing up our old 1930s cabin with my very handy (and handsome) husband, exploring our 4 acres with my kids, and writing music. I'm in the process of recording my first EP, which will release sometime this fall! You can find my thoughts on God’s heart for moms in Thrive Moms weekly publication, “Momentum”, and you can read my personal blog and hear samples of my music at nathaliehope.com.

Today we are sipping coffee and sharing a few of our favorite things in 2015! These items would be great gifts for your family, friends, or even yourself!

Maggie is a chef, registered dietitian, and podcast co-host who believes life is lived best when we seek beauty in the mundane moments of the day-to-day and let those moments inspire us creatively. For Maggie, that inspiration usually manifests in the kitchen.

Maggie's bank account would tell you that she spends too much money on food, lipstick, and running shorts, and her weekend plans would tell you that she finds just as much joy sitting in a deer stand as she does shopping on King Street. Her last meal would probably consist of charcuterie, doughnuts, and bourbon. Maggie's favorite thing about food is the way that it creates community.

More about the podcast Maggie co-hosts. Around the Table Podcast is the perfect balance of intention and indulgence. Dietitian and chef Maggie McDaris and blogger Jacey Verdicchio of The Balanced Wife talk relationships, health, intentional living, hospitality, and the ups and downs of life lately as 20-something ladies. Our goal is to help you live purposefully without skipping dessert. Pull up a chair and join us around the table. You’ll feel refreshed and inspired when you leave – promise!

We loved chatting with Maggie! We also chatted with Maggie on her podcast, Around the Table.  We also previously chatted with Maggie's co-host, Jacey. Two episodes to check out if you haven't yet!

The moment Paige realized she was pregnant she freaked out. “How in the world is it possible to be a good mom without losing myself and my creative pursuits?!” was the thought that screamed at her in between bouts of morning sickness.

The podcast Hear Motherhood is the result of all that freaking out. It allows her to talk to some of the most creative moms out there to see how they make it work. Her hope is that the show is an inspiration and support for all creative moms who are doing their best to make the world a more beautiful place.

We chat with Paige about motherhood and success!

Paige talks about how she was afraid that becoming a mom would mean she would loose her creativity!

Today we are sipping coffee and talking about the myth of a pinterest perfect life.

Katie del Castillo Vail is a West Point grad, a former Army Captain, and a war widow. All her hopes and dreams were shattered when her sweet husband Dimitri was killed in a firefight in Afghanistan in 2011, and over the past 4+ years she's learned the importance of choosing joy even when life knocks you down. Katie is also an interior design enthusiast and wanna-be fashionista at heart. She has lived all over the place the past 10 years (New York, Hawaii, Afghanistan, DC...just to name a few), so she knows the importance of getting settled and making a place cozy, no matter where you live! In the fall of 2014 Katie finished up her time in the Army while working at the Pentagon. She is happily remarried to an amazing man who is also an Army officer they we are expecting a baby boy in November!

Despite her previous day job and the Army camo she wore daily, Katie has a passion for all things pretty, whether it's a beautiful dress, an amazing sofa or a breathtaking sunset. Katie loves to entertain, run marathons, thrift, cook, and travel. If she could she would spend her life at the beach. Katie is a bit of a vintage-loving nut, so she also run the shop DashOfVintageWhimsy on Etsy. Katie believes that everything in life should have a little pizzazz, and that a dash of whimsy is the key to making a house a home.

We were so honored that Katie agreed to share her story with us.

We start out asking Katie what her definition of success is:

We talk with Katie about how she used running to work through the pain of loosing her husband as well as how she found beauty, even in the broken.
