THRIVE PODCAST

Ever smell something that instantly brings you back to a specific memory, person, or point in time? Maybe the smell of fresh cut grass, or sugar cookies in the oven, or your mom’s perfume? I know what candle was burning in our little townhouse basement back in 2020, and every time I smell Polo cologne it feels like my dad is here for the holidays. Why? Because your sense of smell is directly linked to your memory - they’re literally next door to one another in your brain! Today on THRIVE we’re welcoming back my friend Beth from State of Being Co. - an affirmation candle company that harnesses this powerful connection to create tools to effect positive change in your life and actually change your…state of being! We’re so stoked to bring you an incredible, intentional collaboration between THRIVE x State of Being: the THRIVING candle. Designed specifically to help you go from a life of surviving…to thriving!

For years, Becca Wierwille felt different than everyone else. Namely because she was born with only half of one arm. But instead of letting her limb difference define her, she’s learned to lean in, acknowledge how it impacts her life, and then use it as a way to celebrate others’ differences and God’s intentional design for each of us. Today, Becca writes stories to show kids they are wonderfully created for the unique adventures in their lives, and she’s sharing her story on THRIVE to remind you that your differences truly make you BEAUTIFUL.

Ever wonder what it would be like to just…do it all yourself? Nix the drama of the public school systems and call the shots for your kids from the comfort of your own home? Cut the crap with the food industry and cultivate a healthier, more holistic livelihood with your own farm fresh eggs or dairy milk on your own little homestead? Maybe the thought of homeschooling or homesteading gives you hives, or maybe you’ve heard the words but don’t know much about either - and that’s where today’s episode comes in. Shelbey Kendall is a homeschooling, homesteading mom and author, and she’s giving us the greatest inside look at both words in her world - and how her mind was changed and she got started, as someone who once couldn’t IMAGINE ever being “that mom” to homeschool.

This one might be...unpopular. But we're here for it, and we hope you will be, too! Erica, Sarah, and Taylor from Team THRIVE are behind the mic together to share their *unpopular* opinions, from Gilmore Girls to grammar, Beyonce to body positivity, barrel leg jeans to boxers-as-shorts (and every trend in between) - it's loaded with our hot takes and hotter defenses of the opinions we're taking to the grave...or at least, to the internet. ;)

"You get to decide." Really, you do! And whether that thought feels instantly empowering or overwhelming, Stephanie May Wilson is here to help. As an author, speaker, TEDxTalker, and popular podcaster with over 8 million downloads, Stephanie is no stranger to the "Everything Era" - the decade-ish where most of our wildly huge, defining, important milestone decisions are often made. Today on THRIVE, she brings her best tips on creating a life you love for YOU - not for your family, your friends, or what you think you "should" have done by now. Erica and Steph also break down discerning "God's plan" for your life and where your power lies along the way (spoiler alert: you have more say so than you think you do!). The conversation is candid and oh so real, with relatable ways to approach your decision making in a way that will make sense for you and have you moving forward in faith and confidence for what's to come. “Life is too short to wear shoes that don’t fit - whether your feet, your style, or your life - especially when there are seven hundred gazillion other options to choose from. It’s not selfish to want to find shoes that fit - in fact, it’s silly not to.”

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of...meaning? Believe it or not, people who pursue happiness are scientifically LESS happy (and more stressed and less healthy) than people who pursue something else entirely: meaning. But what does pursuing "meaning" actually MEAN? Dr. Lauren Gilbert breaks down the science today on THRIVE. We also talk about living "authentically" - and how showing up with your God-given gifts is just as important and authentic as showing up "relatably" with your shame rooms and junk drawers. Dr. Lauren loves looking at the intersections of science and faith, so today's conversation gives a good look at the both/and of living an authentic, meaningful life!

We’re back with best-selling author, speaker, Bible teacher, and my friend Laura Smith, and we’re chatting all about her newest book: Holy Care for the Whole Self. It’s full of truth and encouragement connecting our mental AND spiritual health journeys, and it’s going to leave you feeling refreshed and breathing easier in your own earthly walk. But if you have not yet grabbed copy, we’ll wait - and give you some really solid advice and steadfast reminders in the meantime, especially great if you’ve ever found yourself struggling mentally and maybe shaming yourself spiritually. You are not broken. There’s nothing wrong with you. You don’t have to “pray away” your pain - it is okay, and right, to seek earthly AND heavenly help. Jesus CARES about your mental health - and Laura is here to break down the “both/and” of seeking healing.
