Ep.49 | Melissa Clark: Emotional and Spiritual Wellness

This week, I welcome Melissa Clark to join us at the table. As an expert in all-things therapeutic and mental health, Melissa focuses specifically on anxiety, body issues and identity issues. Melissa also hosts the podcast Thrive: The Art of Living Free. Melissa and I jump right into the mental health issues millions of people are facing, how the pandemic exacerbated mental health struggles, and how we can move towards living a more connected life. Honest and real, we talked about how when we unpack our baggage, we are able to connect in healthy ways and move forward on our journey to true healing. Melissa and I share our own  experiences and why it is so important to take care of ourselves spiritually and mentally. In a world that feels more disconnected than ever, we hope this episode brings a light on the true impact emotional wellness has on us as individuals and as a society. Here’s what we connect on: <ul> <li>Why society is suffering from mental health issues and unraveling from the outside in, especially after the pandemic</li> <li>How we are all addicted or co-dependent to something or someone in our distracted numbing culture</li> <li>How practicing acceptance, openness and honesty in all relationships, starting with ourselves, can transform our most important connections</li> <li>How giving up control, surrendering and letting go of our “stuff” allows us to experience true freedom, healing and hope with God</li> <li>The power “seasons of silence” hold in self-connection, self-reflection and becoming more emotionally healthy and secure with ourselves and others</li> </ul> Thank you so much for saving a seat for us this week!

Ep.48 | Sarah Kroger: Accepting Our Belovedness

Joining us at the table this week is Sarah Kroger, Christian recording artist Sarah’s work is some of my favorite and her new album, Light, transforms hearts and invites souls to the love of Christ.  Don’t miss the single, Belovedness, if you need a reminder of how lovable you are. Sarah and I chat openly about our shared love for all-things-healing. Don’t miss our conversation around the courage it takes to heal and truly own what we push deep inside and avoid at all costs.  It is throughout the healing journey that Sarah and I come to understand that recovering our true self is exactly what God wants us to do. By accepting who we are, including the things we are healing from, we allow ourselves to exist as the Lord truly made us to be. Here’s what we connect on: <ul> <li>Staying present in the moment, both big and small, even when it feels like distractions are ever-increasing</li> <li>How Sarah’s new release, What a Wonderful World, celebrates life’s most beautiful and magical moments</li> <li>How our Heavenly Father encourages us to own our belovedness, even when we feel most unlovable and lost</li> <li>How we must walk a truly vulnerable path to healing and self-love by giving our “stuff” to God and facing our pain head-on</li> <li>Keeping hope, feeling fulfilled,  and showing up for ourselves for ourselves even when it’s hardest</li> </ul> Thank you so much for saving a seat for us this week!

Ep.47 | Gravity Leadership: Leading and Living Like Christ

This week, I am excited to welcome Matt Tebbe and Ben Sterke to the table. Matt and Ben are the cofounders of Gravity Leadership, an organization focused on transformational leadership and discipleship.  We chat about how in order to evolve we need more than a change in practice: we need a change in paradigm. Through eight transformative axioms found in their book Having the Mind of Christ: Eight Axioms to Cultivate a Robust Faith, Matt and Ben lay out a guide to connect with Christ that helps us be open more fully to God, ourselves, and others.  By putting on new glasses so to speak, we can embrace the healing and change God wants for our lives. Matt, Ben and I dive into the important stuff:  letting go to accept God’s love, practicing self-honesty to invite healing, recovering (in many different ways) while walking a path of faith, and accepting ourselves and others for who they are – fully. Here’s what we connect on: <ul> <li>How to achieve connectedness, and not correctness, with God</li> <li>The healing power found in rigorous self-honesty</li> <li>Waking up to God, who is already here and present</li> <li>Learning that God shows up with unconditional love and acceptance in our messy reality, even when we aren’t able to show up for ourselves.</li> <li>Looking past shame, fear and doubt to see the truth about ourselves by trusting in God.</li> <li>How compassionate awareness, creative alignment and cooperative action are essential tools on our faith journey</li> </ul> Thank you so much for saving a seat for us this week!
