  • Ep 28 - Walking Through Darkness, Grasping For Light: How We Can Find Happy In Heartbreak.

    Hi friend, this week's episode is special to me; tender, honest and deeply real. Because taking back happy doesn't mean life suddenly stops hurting. Sometimes joy and grief sit in the same room. Sometimes faith is choosing to breathe when your heart is breaking.

  • Ep 27 -Let's Beat The 95%: What Do You Do When You Are Stuck In Survival Mode?

    Have you ever caught yourself reacting or worrying and thought, "Why do I keep doing that?" Here is the thing: 95% of what we do every day is run by our subconscious thoughts, old programming that's often stuck in survival mode. But we were made for more than survival mode.

    Today we are talking about how to become aware of what's running in the background of your mind, and how with God's help, to start thinking new thoughts that could lead to a renewed life.

  • Ep 21 - What Do We Do When Fear, Insecurity And Doubt Hit Hard In This Season?

    During this season, our stories may look different. One woman may be struggling with an empty nest, much as I did, another may be starting a new career, and still another may be facing relationship changes. But underneath it all, we tend to share the same struggles: fear, insecurity and doubt.

    In this episode of Taking Back Happy, we will explore how we are more alike than we think, and how God meets us where we are, with His love, peace and purpose.

  • Ep 20 - What If The Empty Nest Doesn't Have To Mean Empty Life?

    What do you envision when you hear the term "empty nest"?

    A lonely woman?

    A forgotten mom?

    Someone who lacks purpose? 

    What if instead of dreading the empty nest years, we could look forward, celebrate, and move confidently into the next season of life?

    Join my friend, Donna, and I as we discuss her joy, insight and enthusiasm when it comes to empty-nesting. You just may be throwing up your arms and celebrating right along with us.

    Donna Craig is a 56-year old mother who looked forward to and enjoys her empty nest. She tutors conversational English to Korean women and kids. She lives in a socially busy neighborhood and is active in church. Her obsessive enjoyment of grandparenthood came as a surprise to her. She is a maker, a plant enthusiast, and a reader who runs a book club with her sister. Travel and languages are her jam. She studies three languages daily and travels as often as possible. Which isn’t enough to satisfy her wanderlust. But she tries.
