Struggle Well School

Alisa Keeton has been involved in the fitness world her whole life.  Once God got a hold of her heart she answered the call to create a space and train others to connect faith and fitness- in a way that was not cheesy and gross.  This conversation is about way more than fitness though, so stick around even if you don't consider yourself an athlete.

Rachel is the co-founder of a ministry called Better Than Blended that is is dedicated to building blended families that thrive.  Through a marriage, Rachel took on the role of mother to 7 children ranging from infant to adult. With wisdom well beyond their years, Rachel and her husband's goal is to encourage, mentor and equip blended families to become pillars of strength and an awesome testimony of the sustaining power of God’s truth.

Lauren is a wife, mom of two, and a podcast host as well! She came to know God as a young adult and clearly articulates what changed for her after she began to read God's word.  She is so interesting to talk to and I loved hearing all her stories.  I know you will as well!

In this episode Rebecca and I do our very best to solve all your fitness problems.  We give some fitness history and discuss current trends.  You are sure to find a new way to move your body from all the wacky ideas we share.

Sallie Dean is a wife, mom of twins, an artist and, most importantly, my friend.  ;) Sallie has a steadiness about her that I'm drawn to and I was eager to ask her how she walked (and is currently still walking through) a rough season.  The topic is infertility but what she has learned can be broadly applied to anything we are going through.  There were so many important truths shared.  You're going to want to have a pen and paper!

What we chat about: the four types of anxiety what she's learning about the effects of daily quality time with each child  the science behind the benefits of coloring Links mentioned: Big and Little Coloring Devotional

Shontell is busy.  When she told me all she has going on, I had to sit down.  She has a passel of kids, is a teacher at heart but also a student right now.  She is hysterical and wise and all the things you want in a friend you've never actually met.  Can't wait to share her with you!

The fact of the matter is we don't know a lot about personality tests.  You'll know pretty quick here when you listen.  The bonus about this is that we discovered a lot of interesting things while recording.  I will list them out with bullet points because that makes them seem very important.

Christy is a mom I met several years ago.  Since then she has continued to be a source of encouragement and wisdom to me.  She has two older daughters and I love asking her questions about what I need to expect here in the next couple years.  You're really going to be encouraged to keep a realistic perspective on the shenanigans your kids are up to.  I know I was! 

Anna is a mom of five who also happens to have a story of escape from a violent, polygamist cult. She endured horrific abuses for years.  While her experiences are not typical, her journey will help you realize that no matter what you’ve faced, you can live a life of wholeness.
