I have loved to read for as long as I can remember. I mean who else but an avid reader would choose “Marmee” from Little Women as her grandma name? The Significant Women podcast has allowed me to meet so many of my favorite authors, and today is no exception. I can’t wait for you to meet Suzanne Woods Fisher, the award-winning, bestselling author of more than 40 books, including The Cape Cod Creamery series, as well as many beloved clean contemporary romance novels.

As children, many of us are burdened with labels such as "shy," "quiet," "awkward," or simply "different." These descriptors, casually assigned by others or even self-imposed, confine us to the sidelines, rendering our voices faint and our presence unnoticed. My guest today is Cally Logan who is here to remind you that, just like The Wallflower that Bloomed, you too can break free from the shadows and bloom beautifully, embracing your truest self.

Trauma and triggers have become buzz words in recent years and they are sometimes used to describe something that makes us uncomfortable, something that is somewhat cringe-worthy, or even something that’s just a generally negative experience. But something that is truly traumatic is something that rewires your brain and moving forward, your instincts and your outlook are altered as a result of it. Regardless of your upbringing, socio-economic status, education, family background, or religious beliefs, we have all experienced trauma. It creeps and seeps into our lives, affecting our outlook, relationships, priorities, and choices.

My guests today are mother/daughter duo Sarah & Isabel Bowling, and their new book, “Road to Wholeness: Healing from Trauma,” is a unique look at the parable of the Good Samaritan through the lens of trauma. It will give you insight for healing from the trauma of your own story, as well as how to love and interact with others’ as they navigate their own journey of healing. Thankfully, Jesus can help us to transform trauma so it isn’t transferred, causing ripple effects of damage and hurt.

Many people long to find greater fulfillment in life but don’t know how to move from beyond their current circumstances to their God-ordained calling. Without faith and direction, fear and uncertainty can hold us back from surrendering our desires, and fully trusting God to live boldly in His calling for our lives. My guest today is Bible teacher, podcaster, and mentor Rachel G. Scott who’s going to share with us the five types of leaps we all have to take to propel ourselves into fulfilling God’s destiny for us. I highly encourage you to grab her latest book “Taking the 5 Leaps” on Amazon (https://amzn.to/4b36tCu) or wherever great books are sold.

My guest today places words like an artist applying paint to a canvas. Nothing is wasted. Every word matters. Heads and hearts are equally engaged. She’s often been called a velvet covered sword because she delivers truth in such a winsome way. As a former atheist, Alicia Britt Chole’s worldview was interrupted by Jesus as she began her university studies. Today, her raw faith and love for God’s Word hold the attention of saints and skeptics alike. Lean in and listen, my friend.

“Significant Women” is a weekly podcast for women to gather with their personal stories, dynamic hope and wisdom gleaned from the ordinary days of an uncommon life. Our goal is to simply encourage women in every season of life that their story matters; when Jesus is involved in the details, every woman’s life can be a significant representation of all that He is.
