  • 45. Is it Possible to Find Gratitude in Your Storms? To Be Grateful in Hard Things?

    Welcome to Episode 45 of the Warrior Words podcast!

     

    November is typically associated with gratitude (and maybe football and family feasting!).

    To that end, I wanted to share some thoughts on gratitude, my personal experiences of gratitude while walking through storms, and ways you can consider gratitude as you walk through your own storms.

  • 44. Divorce & Being a Single Mom - What is Free-Will? with Kerri Bishop

    Welcome to Episode 44 of the Warrior Words podcast!

     

    Being a single mom is hard. Being the single mom of five boys is harder.

    I'm pretty sure we've all heard about the concept of free will, but just in case, it's the gift from God that allows us to make our own decisions.

    I used the word 'gift' intentionally because sometimes - usually when someone doesn't behave the way we want them to behave - we don't see it as the gift it is.

    Kerri experienced that several years ago when her husband made a decision, using his free will, that impacted the lives of many people. In this episode, she admits to wanting God to change her husband's mind - thus taking away his free will.

    I believe we have all experienced something like this. Tune in to hear what happened and what Kerri chose to do instead.

  • 43. Breast Cancer: Perspective & Passions with Cancer Crusher Fitz Koehler

    Welcome to Episode 43 of the Warrior Words podcast!

     

    October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month AND Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I WAS a victim of both and now I am a SURVIVOR. I am dedicating these five episodes in October to:

    #StompOutBreastCancer

    and

    #StompOutDomesticViolence

     

    It's the last Tuesday of October! And our October Awareness Series is ending in a powerful way!

     

    My guest, Fitz, is no stranger to microphones or to speaking. In fact, her job involves both. But what does a fitness innovator and race announcer do when she's hit with a breast cancer diagnosis?

     

    Was she sidelined? No. She got noisy, put things into perspective, and kept doing what she loved.

     

    Tune in to learn about Fitz Koehler's response to breast cancer and how she crushed it.

     

    Please share these episodes with people in your lives who need to hear them. You may just save a life...

  • 42. Light on the Path of Freedom from Domestic Violence with April T. Giauque

    Welcome to Episode 42 of the Warrior Words podcast!

     

    October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month AND Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I WAS a victim of both and now I am a SURVIVOR. I am dedicating these five episodes in October to:

    #StompOutBreastCancer

    and

    #StompOutDomesticViolence

     

    It's the 4th week of October! In this week's Awareness episode, my conversation is with a woman who has become a cheerleader for women who live with domestic violence and now helps them to find their voices.

    But that was not always the case. She, too, lived in fear for herself and for her children. She had to find creative ways to protect them from the insanity brewing in her household.

    Like Hansel & Gretel's breadcrumb trail, April T. Giauque discovered points of light that God was leaving as a trail for her to follow on her journey to escape the darkness.

    Tune in to learn about those pinpoints of light, how they led her out of darkness, and how she is now helping others to find their voices.

     

    Please share these episodes with people in your lives who need to hear them. You may just save a life...

  • 38. Where Do You See Certainty In Life? Bullying and Loss with Tanya Harris Roundy

    Welcome to Episode 38 of the Warrior Words podcast!

     

    Tanya Harris Roundy is an author, teacher, singer, actress, director, and more! In her life, she has experienced many losses and experiences of bullying - some in her childhood and others in her adult life. Trauma is a reality we all experience, not just once, but multiple times. The possibility of trauma doesn't just stop when we've hit a certain age or number of traumas.

    Sometimes, we just need someone in our lives to help us find certainty.

  • 37. Taking STEPs to Thrive After Surviving a Traumatic Brain Injury with Nick Prefontaine

    Welcome to Episode 37 of the Warrior Words podcast!

     

    Nick Prefontaine's parents were told that he would never walk or talk again. Well, he's a guest on the podcast, so at least half of that is not true. And I'm going to let him reveal in his own words what happened to the other half of that prognosis.

    Yes, sometimes doctors get it wrong. They are human, and all humans make mistakes. But sometimes it's not so much about the doctors' prognoses as it is about the STEPs we take.

    Listen in to find out how Nick not only survived, but thrived!
