The Growth Lounge

In this powerful episode ofThe Growth Lounge, I sit down with an incredible woman who made the courageous decision to leave an abusive marriage in the middle of the night—kids in tow, no shoes, and no plan, just the determination to break free. Her journey from survival to self-reinvention is nothing short of inspiring.

Today, she’s using her experience to help other women rebuild their lives, find their voices, and rediscover their worth after leaving abusive relationships. We talk about the raw reality of starting over, the mindset shifts that led to her transformation, and the work she’s doing now to empower women who feel lost after escaping trauma.

This episode is for anyone who needs a reminder that there is life beyond survival—that healing, strength, and purpose can emerge from even the darkest places. If you or someone you know is on the path to rebuilding, this conversation is one you don’t want to miss.

Tune in and be reminded: You are stronger than you think.

Kim’s story is one of resilience, faith, and grit. After losing everything—facing repossession, eviction, and bankruptcy—she and her husband of 30+ years rebuilt their lives from the ground up while raising and homeschooling five children who are now thriving adults.

Now in her 50s, Kim is the President of a successful family-owned business creating high-paying jobs for veterans and families, with a vision to expand across all 50 states. She and her family live their dream life on a farm in Texas, surrounded by animals and the peace they always hoped for.

Kim’s passion is empowering women to rise after setbacks, sharing the tools they need to design and live their dream lives—just like she did. You can most always find her in something red or leopard print with the biggest most inviting smile on her face!

Welcome to couch talk! Couch talk was something we started in 2020 as a way to stay connected and to bring joy to a hurting world. We would go live on IG and Facebook each Wednesday to just connect with others straight from our living room couch.

We have missed it and I know so many of you have as well. So join us as we introduce a new way to share couch talk with you all.

We will be walking through a variety of topics surrounding marriage, raising kids, the joy of becoming grandparents, empty nesting and of course, growth as individuals and as a couple.

We look forward to spending time with you here on the Couch Talk Series of the Growth Lounge Podcast.

Much Love,

Chad and Jessica

I love that we are kicking off the Growth Lounge Podcast Today, January 1, 2025!

So how did we get here, how did this podcast come to be?

It has been 52 years in the making.  Something I can honestly say was laid on my heart long before the word podcast ever existed.  I have known in the deepest parts of my soul for as long as I can remember that I was born to help others see the goodness inside of them.  To shine a light on peoples gifts and talents that they cannot quite see for themselves.  I am a cheerleader, the one who will always be in your corner to cheer you on and mentor you.  But that purpose got real cloudy for me for about 30 years.

You will hear more about that journey in this episode but, once I started getting into rooms where people were dreaming bigger, living bigger and living the lives that I wanted to live, the trajectory of my life completely shifted.  That led us here today at the launch of The Growth Lounge. I believe that everyone can benefit from going to growth conferences and getting in to the room however, I also understand that it is not always attainable right now. My hope is that you find this podcast your virtual growth conference space and that you are inspired to keep growing, no matter where you are on that journey!

XOXO,

Jessica
