  • Reconciling Your Past to Find Peace and Closeness to God with John Eldredge

    Welcome back to Authentic Conversations, where we’re continuing the conversation on how an individual’s own hurt, heartache, tragedy, and struggle has shaped them as a person and allowed them to see themselves for who they were created to be.

    In this episode, I’m so excited to be joined by John Eldredge, an author, counselor, and lecturer on Christianity who is best known for his best-selling book, Wild at Heart. He’s also written other incredible titles like Get Your Like Back and Resilient, and he founded the One Minute Pause app. John has touched the lives of thousands, if not millions of people and has been an outstanding role model in the Christian Community. You won’t want to miss everything we unpack today about faith, courage, and mindfulness.

    We’ll get into:
    Having resiliency in the face of tragedy
    Digging into your faith to find your humanity
    The lessons we’ve learned through pain

  • How to Share Your Faith in a Loving Way

    Welcome back to Authentic Conversations, where we’re continuing the conversation on how an individual’s own hurt, heartache, tragedy, and struggle have shaped them as a person and allowed them to see themselves for who they were created to be. 

    In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that has been building up and weighing on my heart for a long time. In the wake of the recent tragedy in Nashville, I felt the need to lean into my faith more than ever, but sharing my faith-based opinions with others doesn’t always go to plan. I want to share my faith with others with love and understanding, and without fear, so I invite you to listen in on this conversation about my love for God and my faith in the path he has laid out for me, and for all of us. 

    I’ll get into:

    • Adopting a respectful and empathetic approach while addressing contentious issues
    • Understanding what it means to love others as God loves them
    • Cultivating love and understanding for others despite having differences
    • Conquering fears and getting past hurdles to progress spiritually
    • Defending faith in a respectful and considerate manner, without condemning others

        • How to Get Over the Hurt From Your Past

          Welcome back to Authentic Conversations, where we’re continuing the conversation on how an individual’s own hurt, heartache, tragedy, and struggle has shaped them as a person and allowed them to see themselves for who they were created to be. 

          In this episode, I’m flying solo for a deep dive into our past hurt, and the idea that harboring our wounds from the past can hinder our ability to be successful and achieve the things we desire. We all want the best for ourselves and those we care about, and understanding our past hurt and actually dealing with it is a difficult but necessary thing to do if we want our desires for success to be realized.

          I’ll get into:

          • Three ways that past hurt can haunt us
          • Dealing with emotional baggage
          • Taking control of your inner dialogue
          • Getting over your fear of failure

          • This week also marks the 200th episode of Authentic Conversations, so join me for a drink while you listen and stay tuned to the end for some free gifts!

          • What’s Holding You Back From Being You?

            Welcome back to Authentic Conversations, where we’re continuing the conversation on how an individual’s own hurt, heartache, tragedy, and struggle has shaped them as a person and allowed them to see themselves for who they were created to be. 

            In this episode, I’m sharing my belief that the reason people fail to achieve what they want in life comes not from the outside, but from within. We all have wounds, struggles, and doubts, but we can’t let those things hold us back forever. There needs to be a way through them to reach the success we were created to achieve, and I want to help you find it.

            I’ll get into:

            • Finding that something inside of you that is holding you back
            • How childhood experiences can affect your self-image even now
            • Working with someone who will give you brutal honesty
            • Practicing mindfulness and becoming more self-aware
            • Setting goals to achieve, not to impress
            • Overcoming these struggles and building forward momentum

              • Experiencing the Power of Fasting

                Welcome back to Authentic Conversations, where we’re continuing the conversation on how an individual’s own hurt, heartache, tragedy, and struggle has shaped them as a person and allowed them to see themselves for who they were created to be. 

                In this episode, I’m giving you a look inside my head and my heart as I share my experience from a 3-day fast I completed with my local church- while I’m still fasting! Throughout my journey with this fast, I was able to reconnect with and appreciate parts of my faith that I’ve wrestled with over the years, and I had the chance to gain more perspective on where I’ve been and where I’m going in life. This was an incredibly powerful and emotional experience, and I hope that this episode encourages you to look deeper into your own faith and consider doing a fast yourself.

                  Welcome back to Authentic Conversations, where we’re continuing the conversation on how an individual’s own hurt, heartache, tragedy, and struggle has shaped them as a person and allowed them to see themselves for who they were created to be. 

                  In this episode, I’m talking about some recent negative feedback that was triggering for me, and how I was able to deal with it and ultimately bring some good from it. In my own life, I’ve been on a journey to get better at empathizing and showing empathy in my content, but it isn’t always easy. I hope that sharing my experience with triggering feedback will encourage you to take negative feedback and turn it into something positive for yourself and your life.
