This episode is Part 2 in our interview with Sandy Cooper. We are on the second episode in our "Middle" series and we are continuing our discussion on finding balance in our daily lives.

This week's episode kicks off our "Middle" Series. This series will explore what it means to live in the "middle", not the extremes, when it comes to finding balance in our daily lives, living out our calling and surrendering control. Our first guest, Sandy Cooper, is here with us as we discuss what it means to find balance in our daily lives.

Sandy has been studying and teaching balance for nearly two decades, writing on the Internet since 2008, and blogging about balance since 2012. She is also the Leader of Women's Ministry at New Life Church in Louisville, a Bible study teacher, and author. Sandy writes over on her personal blog at www.thescooponbalance.com and she's recently written a Bible study entitled, Finding Your Balance.

This conversation really hit home for us and we pray that each of you will find it encouraging as well.

This week we conclude our Stewardship series with a discussion on how to steward the constant barrage of information coming at us from all ends 24/7. Social media, technology, the 24 hour news cycle, etc. are not going anywhere. In and of themselves, they are not evil and can have very positive attributes. But, we all need to learn how to steward our access to media through proper boundaries.

To help us navigate this increasingly difficult topic, we've asked our dear friend Dr. Angela Schaffner to join us again. Dr. Angela Schaffner is a licensed counseling psychologist and eating disorders specialist with over 12 years of experience at Atlanta Center for Eating Disorders. She earned her doctorate from Ball State University in Indiana and did her pre-doctoral internship at Emory University Counseling Center. She's also an adjunct professor in Mercer University's Clinical Medical Psychology program. She has published articles in professional journals such as Eating Disorders: Journal of Treatment and Prevention, and presented at national conferences on topics related to eating disorder treatment, health, and faith.

Angela discusses with us how to identify unhealthy patterns of media use and how we can put boundaries in place so we can learn how to not eliminate media usage but have a healthy relationship with technology and information.

This week we welcome Stephanie Giddens to Woven as we continue along in our Stewardship series. Stephanie is the founder and president of Vickery Trading Co., a non-profit online retailer that sells clothing made by refugee woman in Dallas. The women are paid fairly and offered training, as well as mentoring, educational programs, counseling and job placement services.

Unfortunately, this type of situation is rare for the majority of those who make our clothing and consumer goods worldwide. On today's episode, we talk with Stephanie about the realities of the current state of our clothing and consumer goods, as well as her own journey from being a traditional shopper to now supporting ethical fashion practices. We define what ethical fashion means, how it's actually pretty approachable and affordable if you put a little thought into it, and discuss why we should all care about this topic. The current abundance of cheaply made clothing is something we need some guidance with in order to steward well, and we hope this episode will do just that. Links mentioned: Vickery Trading Co.
