  • Power Project Episode #35: A Tribute to Mamas Everywhere
    In this week's episode I am celebrating all Mamas everywhere! And, while I love all things Mother's Day, I am also cognizant that Mother's Day isn't joyful to all. So, with that said,

    To that Mama scrolling through Facebook on Mother's Day seeing everyone's beautiful family pictures and celebrations, while struggling to find your own joy, I see you.

    I know that there are women out there who struggle every Mother's Day. Those who can't scroll through social media because it makes them feel so very empty and incomplete.

    To those Mountain Moving Mamas out there fighting for your child's very life, I see you.

    To those Warrior Mamas who have suffered unthinkable tragedy and lost your children, I see you.

    To those Overcomer Mamas that have fought through Hell and back for both you and your children, I see you.

    To those Survivor Mamas whose womb has never been filled, I see you.

    To those Fighter Mamas who may not have a relationship with your children right now but won't give up until you do, I see you.

    To all the Mamas out there who can't look at the picture of my smiling family on Mother's Day without your heart breaking in two,
    I SEE YOU.

    I don't for one second take it for granted, nor do I post without considering how painful this day may be for each and everyone of you. I see you and I love you. I'm aware that after Mother's Day is over, those of us celebrating will go back to life as we know it. We'll rush kids out the door and off to school, yell at our children to stop picking on their brother, and shuttle kids to baseball practice, gymnastics, cheer, etc... And you, will continue life as you know it, a life that none of us can imagine and pain that none of us have experienced. I wish there was more comfort I could offer you. But, for today, know this. I SEE YOU and I LOVE YOU!

    "Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all."
    ~2 Thessalonians 3:16

    Every season brings a new challenge, new guilt, and new fears... As a Mom , I very rarely feel like I know what I am doing.

    To the Mom who just had a new baby and feels completely lost, I see you. I was you.
    You have your first baby. He’s beautiful and you’ve never experienced love more deeply than this very moment. You can’t believe you and your husband made such a perfect human being. You leave the hospital, take him home to ntroduce him to his new house, lay him in his basinette and then smile as you watch his little chest rise up and down as he sleeps peacefully. You smile as you listen to his sweep sleep noises and then suddenly realize his chest isn’t rising up and down in the same rhythm it was a second before. You stare intently at the rhythm of his tiny chest. Panic creeps in as you start to worry what would happen if he didn’t remember to breathe. You scoop him up out of his basinette and take him over to the couch where you can lay with him on your chest so that you can make sure he continues to breathe. Exhausted you fall asleep only to wake up at 2 am with the baby still sleeping on your chest. You instantly feel like a failure. DO NOT co-sleep. This was the first rule broken. You realize that you have no idea what on earth you are doing and you can’t believe anyone has entrusted you with the life of another human.

    To the Mama with an infant that doesn’t sleep and wants to be held constantly, that is currently hiding in her closet listening to this podcast just to be able to gain a few moments of uninterrupted sanity…. Girrrrrl…. Let’s pause for a moment of silence. I get it. He doesn’t like you and you’re not certain you like him at this very moment. You will get through this. You will survive. That infant will turn into a toddler that wraps his chubby arms around your neck and kisses your face, then a little boy that picks you wildflowers, and eventually onto a young man with the funniest personality. You will laugh at his unique perspective on things and be amazed at the way his mind takes the world in. You will not only like each other, but relish your time spent together and conversations had.

    To the stay at home mom whose baby is about to start school, I see you. I remember the gut wrenching sadness of knowing that someone else would have my baby for 8 hours a day. I remember knowing that my children's safety was turned over to someone else for the majority of the week. I remember thinking that they would now spend more time in the care of others than with me for the next 13 years.

    I remember thinking that I wish I would have held them more when they were home every day with me and that the last five years had been the fastest of my life. I remember hoping and praying that I had done everything right. I remember praying that I had taught them to be kind to others, to wait their turn, to use their manners, to wash their hands after using the restroom and before they eat, to not drink from the water fountain. I remember hoping and praying that they would be a light to others that they come in contact with. I remember praying that they would remember their personal boundaries and use their voice if that was ever violated. I remember praying that they would not learn about things that would violate their innocence. I remember hoping and praying that they would not bully or be bullied. I remember hoping that their teachers would love them and they would feel cared for.

    But, most of all, I remember feeling lost. I had invested 8 years of my life with kids at home I had spent every day having someone that needed me. I wasn't ready to not be needed daily.

    Know that this is a new chapter. You've done your job and they won't forget that. They will come home excited to tell you about all they've learned & the friends they've met. Know that this is time to work on you, to get back to who you were before becoming someone’s Mommy. And that chick, well she’s pretty awesome!


    To the Mom of a Teen that is standing on what seems like the scariest precipice yet, I see you and am with you.

    It seems like I blinked and he’s become a man. 
    A beautiful kind young man and there is nothing I can do about it. 

    I would give anything to go back to him being 3 years old, standing in the living room in a tuxedo that was 2 sizes too small, asking me to go put on a princess dress and dance with him. I did. And I’m so thankful I did. Because now, it’s other girls that he wants to dance with.

     I can’t keep him from doing stupid things or making mistakes. His dad & I made our own decisions and mistakes and he’ll have to do the same thing. I wish I could put him in a bubble and keep him from getting hurt, but I can’t. He inevitably will think I’m a moron and not take my advice and that’s okay. He has to take his own steps on this journey. Don’t get me wrong, we’ll provide guidance, but ultimately its up to him.  

    All that I can do is speak truths into him that I hope he will remember.
    I will tell him that he is loved beyond measure, seen and know, and more valuable than he could ever imagine.

    I hope to teach him that he is not defined by the number of a test grade or a sports score and that his character is not intertwined with athletic achievement or academic credit. 

    I hope that he knows his character is instilled within him and comprised of his moral values.  

    I hope that he knows regardless of what path he takes or how many times he stumbles, he doesn’t have to walk it alone & I will always be there to help him back up.  

    It’s a scary, scary time to be raising teenagers, but I believe that we can not only do it, but do it well.

    When Mommin feels hard and you get stressed I want you to ask yourself:
    What if you woke up tomorrow with only what you were grateful for today?

    And, regardless of how many times you screw up remember, God made you the mother to your children. You were placed in each others’ lives as part of a master plan. There is nothing you can do to screw up his plan.

    Things to remember when raising kids:

    1. Kids want love and boundaries. It’s okay to be strict. It is your job to teach them right from wrong. To give them rules. It is your job to raise them to be well rounded contributing members of society. It is not your job to be their friend or the fun mom.

    2. COMMUNICATION is the number one key to being a “good mom”.
    Talk to your kids. Own it when you screw up. Don’t shame them but instead explain why that decision is being made. Have the Hard Talks.

    3. Your kids joined your life. You did not join theirs. Your world does not have to revolve around their activities.
    Let’s talk sports. You DO NOT have to make every single baseball game little Johnny plays… he started at 3 and will play until he’s 18. That’s roughly 150 games…. If he doesn’t play travel ball or tournaments…. And that’s for one sport. It’s okay if Bunco Night falls on the same night as a game, go fill your cup. It will be okay. He’ll also learn he’s not the center of your universe which will serve you greatly when he’s a teen.

    Let them bleed, meaning let them explore the world. Let them fall and bump their knees. Help them back up while they learn from their mistakes.

    Most of all, we're all doing our best in this crazy thing called Mom Life.
    Happy Mother's Day!

  • Power Project Episode #34: Girl Stop Apologizing Book Study-Ch. 10, 11, 12
    This week we are diving into Behaviors to Adopt in Rachel Hollis's Girl Stop Apologizing book. We cover Chapters 10, 11, and 12.

    Chapter 10: Stop asking Permission
    This chapter includes the hot button topic of the label GIRLBOSS. I have a differing opinion than Rachel offers in the book as I personally love the title. I don't feel it marginalizes me or leaves me less than qualified. I embrace the title and am glad to do all things as a female. I discuss how women's brains work differently than men's and I acknowledge that while I think I can do anything men can do, I don't want to be labeled one of the boys.

    Chapter 11: Choose One Dream and Go All In
    I was a stay at home Mom for 10 years and did that with all that I had.
    Then, I launched a business, put my head down, and committed to growing it for 2 years. I gave it all my dedication during that time. After that, I committed to bringing awareness to the human trafficking cause and mentoring survivors. This podcast followed that and I spent six months focused on its growth and success.

    I am a multifaceted entrepreneur that believes we can do all the things, we just can’t do them ALL at once. 
We have to give our focus to one thing at a time then move on to the next.

    I had the chance to meet Christy Wright a while back before launching The Power Project. Her advice to me was to find your one key theme that rings true in all that you do in life and business. Focus on that and make sure it applies to everything you speak about, post about, and put into the world. Find out how your audience wants to learn and focus on that one thing. Do they want retreats, ladies nights, a podcast, a blog. Focus on that one avenue and serve them there.

    Chapter 12: Embrace Your Ambition
    What does the Bible say about ambition?

    As christians, we've mostly grown up hearing ambition as a bad word. The most commonly referenced scripture I remember is
    Phil 2:3 “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself”

    However, here is another scripture that tells us to work hard, mind our own business, and focus on our own achievements:
    1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
    And to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, 12: so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

    Ambition: definition: a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.
    Greek meaning: “to esteem as an honor”.

    Ambition on its own is not bad. Just like money on its own is not bad. “The love of money…”
    Its what we do with it. Do we use our ambition to bring glory to us or glory to him? He put that drive in our hearts. Are we giving him credit for it? Are we bringing glory to him through what we accomplish with it? Are we following what he has laid out for us and trusting his understanding and not our own? Are we saying yes to his call or are we following our own call?
    When I was first called to the Human Trafficking cause, I was concerned that I was trusting my own ambition. I wanted to make sure it was from God and not my own thought process. My good friend, and pastor’s wife, pointed out that the best way for me to realize it was from God was that it scared me and it wasn’t something I would ever choose to do on my own. So, that’s how I guage things moving forward. Does it scare the crap out of me? Probably from God and not me…. Now don’t get me wrong, use intuition and common sense here. Stepping into a pit of rattle snakes: not from God….

    If I don’t have to struggle with a decision, pray about it, or weigh the odds, it’s probably my own ambition.

    Thanks so much for being the best dang listeners around!!! You're the reason we show up every week to put the work in to bring you inspiring episodes!

  • Power Project Episode #32: Girl Stop Apologizing Book Study-Ch. 7, 8, 9
    This week in Chapters 7, 8, and 9 of Girl Stop Apologizing Book Study, I'm talking about my own personal comparison trap and how I almost let it keep me from launching this podcast and finishing my book. Here is an excerpt from the book that I read on the episode today:

    "Wait! Someone else has already done this. Someone else has already written the book I’ve dreamt of writing my entire life. Someone else has already created a movement for women everywhere to be inspired to live bigger lives, dream more, make an impact. Someone else has already, in the most brutally honest and lovingly compassionate way possible, told women to quit making their freaking excuses and live their best lives! Someone else has not only stepped into this space, but she IS this space. There’s not a woman I know that doesn’t know about this book, rock a Made for More hat, watch her FB lives. She has a movie for goodness sakes! She’s done it: Bigger, better, and most importantly, Before me. Well, that’s great! This is just about as good as that time I started doing yoga on the kid’s swim mat in the lake as a means of multi-tasking while the kids played, only to find out that “Boga” has since turned into the newest and greatest thing since slice bread. I totally invented that. And, I totally had these words and this vision before she ever told me to wash my face. Oh yeah, and I was washing my face and telling others to do so first also. She beat me. While I had sat back thinking about finishing my book and launching my podcast, she had written my book. Now what? I kept watching, I kept listening, and I kept sharing. “It’s not important who wrote the book anyway,” I thought. “It’s just important that the message is out there, and I will fully and completely support it in any way possible! But, dang! Just think, if I would have gotten my book out first.”







    In Chapter 8, WHAT WILL THEY THINK, I talk about God's call being greater than anyone else's opinion.
    What will God think if you don’t answer that call? Have you ever thought that you’re more worried about other’s opinions of you than you are God’s? Have you been concerned that not answering his call is a form of disobedience? Would you rather keep Seventh Grade Sally Happy than the Supreme Creator of the Universe? Are you more worried about getting an invite to the annual block party than you are a seat in Heaven? Seriously, who are you listening to? Who are you in relationship with? I can promise you that when you get so laser focused on your purpose and your relationship with Jesus, you find yourself caring less and of what people think and more about the people you can reach. When you know that you are on your own unique journey of following your purpose in life, others' opinions become trivial. Do you want to make an impact? You're going to have to make waves.

    In the discussion over Chapter 9, GOOD GIRLS DON’T HUSTLE, I share how my hustle has been an innate characteristic and I never stopped to think about whether or not I should. I had a natural born desire to strive for greatness. I share stories from my childhood when hustling came natural, what my dad taught me about going after my dreams and hustling hard, and also how that natural drive is placed in your heart by your creator. Hustle for Jesus.

    Matt 10:27
    “What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.”

  • Power Project Episode #31: Parent Coaching with Demi Austin Thomas
    This week we have the honor of chatting with Demi Austin-Thomas, wife, mom, parenting coach, and TV personality. She brings a whirlwind of passion, excitement, and motivation to the subject of parenting. While balancing her career as a Certified Parent Coach and CEO of Bee Empowered Inc. Demi can be described as an edgy and contemporary trending mom with a contagious energy and a passion for healthy parenting.

    She makes no apologies for her unconditional and intense tough love sessions with parents and their teens. Demi believes that there is no perfect guide on how to be the best parent. She believes parents can provide a relevant and direct approach to communicating by meeting your teen where they are emotionally and mentally without forfeiting the role as the parent. Her coaching techniques are old school with a redefined approach to cultivate families and bridge the gap between parents and teens. Her goal is to partner with parents and create effective strategies that provide practical and engaging family management solutions.

    Demi and I will be speaking at the Bee Empowered Glow Girls' Night Out event this weekend. For tickets go to www.glownightout.com

  • Power Project Episode #30: Girl Stop Apologizing Book Study Week 2
    This week we are digging into the Girl Stop Apologizing Book Study that we are currently doing over on Facebook in the Power Project Community. We cover chapters
    4. I'm Not Enough to Succeed
    5. I Can't Pursue My Dream & Still Be a Good Mom/Daughter/Employee
    6. I'm Terrified of Failure

    This is not a regurgitation of Ms. Rachel Hollis's words but instead is my take on the chapters and how you can apply them to your life.

    I cover how I felt like a failure after dropping out of college and how I didn't feel qualified enough to pursue my dreams for the next fifteen years. I share how it took a good friend speaking into me for me to accept God's call and follow my purpose.

    When I'm feeling unequipped and unsure of what the next step looks like, I refer to Esther 4:14 "Who knows that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this. This is how I have the assurance to step out of my comfort zone and know that I can make an impact.

    The next scripture that I lean into is Ephesians 3:20 "Now, to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..." This helps me remember that while we are not enough on our own, the power that is installed within us is enough. We are enough through Jesus.

    CALL TO ACTION:
    List your strengths. What are you good at? What makes you good at that subject?
    Are you a good friend? Is it your ability to listen, over advice, be compassionate? Are you a good baker? Does that mean you can follow directions and procedures or improvise when need be. Write out these characteristics of your strengths that are uniquely yours. Underneath that, write "I am Enough through Him."
    Tape this to your bathroom mirror, vanity, desk, car dashboard and read it aloud every day.

    In the next section, I talk about being a Stay at Home Mom with a desire to serve a bigger purpose. I talk about what it looked like to have the conversation with my husband and kids and bring them into the dream. When I started pursuing my dream it made my husband and kids look at me through a different lens of respect and admiration as well as made our time together more special.

    Then I share the story of Deborah & Jael. Have you heard of them? They were strong women in the Bible that led armies and defeated evil commanders, and they were both married. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that they were less worthy wives for following God's call on their lives. Go check that story out in Judges 4.

    And finally, we talk about the Fear of Failure and how we have to move past that to achieve success. After all, success lies in a silliness to fail. That is singlehandedly the most key ingredient to achieving success. If you stay paralyzed in fear, you'll never know what you were capable of. I also share how not pursuing your purpose because of fear can look like disobedience to the Lord.

  • Power Project Episode #29: Girl Stop Apologizing Book Study
    This week we are digging into the Girl Stop Apologizing Book Study that we are currently doing over on Facebook in the Power Project Community. We cover chapters
    1. That's Not What Other Women Do
    2. I'm Not a Goal Oriented Person
    3. I Don't Have the Time

    This is not a regurgitation of Ms. Rachel Hollis's words but instead is my take on the chapters and how you can apply them to your life.

    I cover how I was raised to want to get married and have babies but always had lofty career goals of my own. I also share how to become a goal oriented person and how to manage your time.

    How to set goals and crush them:
    1. List Your Goals
    Whether you are detail oriented or prefer to enter all the details into Excel or youre more of a free thinker, put your goal setting cap on. List every goal you want to accomplish this year. From the stretch goals to the easily attained goals, put them all down.

    2. Prioritize Your Goals
    This is where focus comes into play. What goals are the most important for you to accomplish. If you’re a high achiever, you most likely want to accomplish all the things right now! But, if you don't give them priority, we can’t give them the attention and focus they need.

    3. Sort Your Goals
    Separate your stretch goals from your small goals. Small goals give you small victories along the way to achieving your strtetch goals.

    4. Set deadlines
    A goal without a deadline is a dream. Break down how you will reach that deadline. If you're writing a book in the next twelve months and you plan to write 60,000 words, do the math. 60,000/12=5000. You'll need to write 5000 words per month in order to achieve your goal by your deadline.

    5. Take ACTION
    This is where most people stop pursuing their goals. A goal without action is like a vehicle without fuel. What can you do each day to achieve those goals? If you want to lose 50 lbs in a year, that's 4 lbs per month and one lb per week. So, create a daily diet and excercise plan to achieve that goal. What action can I take today to achieve my weekly, monthly, and annual goals?



    Chapter 3: "I Don't Have Time"

    A few things to know: Time is an illusion. We all have the same 24 hours in a day but it's what we do with them that makes a difference. You don’t have a lack of time, you have an ownership problem. You haven’t owned your schedule, your months, weeks, hours, minutes.
    It’s simply a time management problem.

    Here are the ways I manage my schedule:
    1. On Sundays, I look at my week. What does it look like? What is on the schedule? I follow up with the appointments I have scheduled to confirm that we are still on. I check to see if the kids' schedules have changed and new appointments need to be added.


    2. During my work hours that are scheduled, I put my phone and computer in Do Not Disturb mode so that I can focus on work. I do not fill the space with household chores or conversations. This is simply work time.

    3. I maximize the times that I am most productive. Have you heard of Owl vs. Lark? An Owl is a person that is more productive at night and a Lark is someone that is more productive in the morning. Realize your most productive and most creative times. Schedule appropriate work during those times.

    4. I plan my week with my family. Everyone plays a part here. My husband and I share an ical that keeps all of the family appointments shared between us so that we both have a heads' up of what is going on. I use different email addresses for different schedules: Family (ALL the things), Kids, Beauty Business, & The Power Project. This way I can clearly see where my time is being spent.

    Trust me when I say, I was not always this organized with my time. It has taken practice and effort to get here, but it has made a world of difference.

    This week, I have the privilege of chatting with Donna Durham of Weighting Comforts. Donna grew up in Nashville, TN and is a woman of strong faith and hope. She is a wife of 25 years and a proud mom of 3 kids.

    She earned her BS in Home Economics Education from Middle Tennessee University in 1993 and graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University with her Masters Degree in Marriage & Family in 2014.

    Donna's life was unexpectedly changed when making weighted blankets at her kitchen table exploded into a full time business. She is the Founder of Weighting Comforts, and runs it alongside her son, Josh who has recently been named to Forbes 30 under 30 for Social Enterprise.

    As a means to growing demands, Donna contracted with refugee women to sew weighted blankets. Her eyes were then opened to how difficult it is for refugees and immigrants to find work and integrate into American culture.

    Weighting Comforts employs refugees and immigrants to sew blankets in order to help them provide for their families as well as provides paid English classes to all of their employees.

    To follow along with Donna's journey, find her on IG:
