You Are Significant

Failure is an inseperable part of your significance. The more quickly you accept this and stop fighting it but embracing it the more significant you will become. Isn't it actually endearing when you meet someone who isn't afraid of failure? You love them more and their influence grows quickly and strong.

When a little one learns how to tie their shoes it requires failure to become a success. That success earns them respect, praise, admiration-ingredients in the recipe for significance.

Listen in as Darlene shares how your failure is necesarily related to your signifance .

In today’s deeply moving episode of You Are Significant, I sit down with Sarah Walston—a Christian coach, podcaster, and speaker who is passionate about helping moms not just survive, but truly thrive through Jesus.

Sarah shares her powerful story of walking through trauma at a young age, facing an unexpected pregnancy, and wrestling with feelings of shame, anger, and disconnection from God. In a season where she felt completely disqualified and insignificant, she found herself in a place many women silently live—loving deeply, yet hurting deeply at the same time.

But what she discovered will encourage your heart:

You don’t have to force the fruit… you just have to stay rooted.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• What to do when life doesn’t turn out the way you planned

• How God gently grows love, joy, and peace in the middle of pain

• The reality of struggling with your faith—and finding your way back
• Encouragement for moms raising children in a broken world
• How to truly support someone walking through a hard season

This episode is for the woman who feels overwhelmed, unseen, or stuck in a season she didn’t choose.

Friend, if you’ve ever wondered if your story still matters… this is your reminder:

You are significant—not because your life is perfect, but because God is still working in you.

This year, we’re focusing on the Fruit of the Spirit… and today, we’re talking about something that has brought me so much JOY and that's birthdays. Birthdays can be a source of joy if you choose to grow your joy around your birthday.

As I celebrate my birthday week, I found myself reflecting on some of my favorite memories—from childhood birthdays to simple, meaningful moments that have stayed with me over the years.

And it got me thinking…

We may not remember everything.
Some seasons feel like a blur.
But we can choose what we hold onto.

In this episode, I’m sharing a few of my favorite birthday memories—and how choosing to remember the good ones is a powerful way to walk in joy and live a life of significance.

We’ll talk about:

• Why joy is a choice, not just a feeling
• How reflecting on good memories can shift your perspective

• Celebrating your life and your age as a gift from God

Joy is one of the Fruit of the Spirit—and it’s available to you right now, no matter your season.

Whether your birthdays have been big and beautiful or simple and quiet, there is always something to treasure.

Friend, your life is significant and when you choose joy you choose to remember those significant moments and feel so grateful.

What if love is already in your life, just not in the way you expected it?

This episode will stay with you long after you listen.

In this deeply moving conversation, my guest, Brenda Ritchson, shares a life that started off normal… very normal. But as life often does, it took unexpected twists and turns.

She was diagnosed with a condition that resolves itself for many—but not for Brenda. It became just the beginning of ongoing health challenges and ultimately 22 surgeries.

She shares about a kind of love that didn’t come from where most young women expect—but instead from the kindness and invitation of her brother.

And as life continues to unfold, her journey takes another turn. Her mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and Brenda—after a career in IT she loved—steps away to care for her.

This conversation is a glimpse into love that shows up in unexpected places… through family, through sacrifice, and through seasons we never would have chosen, but God...

✨ In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How love shows up in unexpected places
• Purpose beyond what you planned
• Beauty in hard seasons
• The power of forgiveness

What happens when you truly surrender your life to God?

In this powerful episode of You Are Significant, Darlene welcomes back returning guest Phyllis Anderson, who previously shared about her incredible tool, Her Care Folio. If you missed that conversation, be sure to check the link in the show notes!

Today’s conversation goes even deeper.

Phyllis opens her heart and shares how God has been moving in her life since her last appearance on the podcast. Through seasons of growth, surrender, and faith, she has experienced firsthand what happens when we stop holding on so tightly and begin trusting God fully.

Together, Darlene and Phyllis talk about what it really means to pray the words of Isaiah 6:8 — “Here I am. Send me.”

Surrender can feel scary. Letting go of control, releasing the people, places, and things we cling to, and trusting God with the unknown takes courage. But as Phyllis shares, when we place everything in God’s hands, He can do more than we could ever imagine.

This episode will encourage you to:

✨ Reflect on what surrender looks like in your own life
✨ Consider what you may be holding onto with a “white-knuckle grip”
✨ Trust that God can use your willingness in powerful ways
✨ Find courage to say, “Here I am, Lord. Send me.”

If you’ve ever wondered what God might do through your life when you fully open your hands and heart to Him, this conversation will inspire you.

Take a moment today to sit quietly with God, surrender what you’re holding onto, and watch what He does.

Because when you surrender to Him, your life becomes a testimony of His faithfulness.

Many capable, driven women are carrying a burden they can’t quite name.

They are dependable. Responsible. Generous. Strong.

But behind the scenes, they are exhausted from trying to meet everyone’s expectations.

In this episode, Darlene talks about the hidden weight many high-capacity women carry: people pleasing.

Trying to keep everyone happy may seem noble, but it quietly steals your peace, drains your joy, and can even keep you from the significance God designed you for.

In this conversation, you’ll discover:

• Why people pleasing is emotionally exhausting
• The spiritual trap of living for others’ approval
• What the Bible says about expectations and the fear of man
• Three practical ways to break free from people pleasing
• How to choose God’s approval over everyone else’s opinions

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by everyone’s expectations, this episode will help you release that burden and step into the freedom God intended for you.

Because the moment you stop trying to please everyone…
is the moment you begin walking in your God-given significance.

Episode 100 of You Are Significant — and I couldn’t imagine a more meaningful guest.

My dear friend Laura Ard is back.

One year ago, she came on this podcast just after losing her husband. We talked about grief, shock, and surviving the unthinkable. Today, one year later, she returns to share what life really looks like after loss.

This conversation is honest. Raw. Hopeful.

Laura opens up about:

• Walking through the first year of grief

• Facing her sugar addiction and choosing to break the cycle

• Taking responsibility for her health after years of caregiving

• Losing over 25 pounds and reclaiming her strength

• Supporting her daughter, now one year sober and living at home

• Finding joy again — not because the pain disappeared, but because she chose growth

• Investing in herself and stepping into her calling as a 180 Method Life Coach

This episode isn’t about “starting over.”

It’s about refinement.

It’s about picking up the pieces and building something stronger.

It’s about choosing to become better, not bitter.

If you’ve ever wondered:

Can I rebuild after loss?

Can I break an addiction at this stage of life?

Can my family story change?

Can I still grow after heartbreak?

This conversation will encourage you.

Grief may mark you.

But it does not have to define you.

You are still significant.

HAPPY 100TH EPISODE! MY FREE GIFT TO YOU!!

Enhanced Self-Care Guide

https://thedarlenelee.com/selfcareguide-freebie-135105

Have you ever felt like you didn’t sign up for the battle you’re in… yet here you are?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the word God gave me for this year—and it’s not about striving, fixing, or proving anything. It’s one powerful word: STAND.

We’ll talk about why you don’t get to choose every challenge that comes your way, but you do get to choose your position, your posture, and your response. This episode is an invitation to stop retreating, stop wavering, and stop fighting from exhaustion—and instead stand firm in truth, faith, and obedience.

We’ll also unpack:

• Why rebuking the enemy out loud matters

• The danger of emptying your life without refilling it with God’s Word

• How worship and Scripture protect your mind, heart, and home

• What it looks like to intentionally stand in a world that wants you silent, distracted, or defeated

As we begin Season 3 of You Are Significant, my prayer is simple: that you would stand—against fear, against lies, against the fiery darts meant to take you out—and that you would fill your life with what is good, holy, and life-giving.

Will you stand too my friend.
