We believe it is possible not just to survive the teen years but to thrive. It's a beautiful time when as parents, we have the honor of helping them prepare for adulthood.
On today’s episode, we get to speak with Candy Peake, a mom of two new college boys and a fellow mom who has navigated the teen years and shares her process of letting go and giving them to God.
While the teenage years can bring challenges, it can also be an incredible time walking with your teen as they navigate the tension of becoming adults while still being a child.CONTACT/FOLLOW US:

When you become a mom, it leaves no woman as if found her. It unravels her and rebuilds her. It cracks her open, takes her to the very edge of herself. It's both beautiful and brutal at the same time.
Being a mom is a round-the-clock job. It’s a big responsibility and also a superpower. From the words of one of today’s guests, “Motherhood is the hardest job you will ever love.”
Join us as we chat with two beautiful new mommas (and a baby), about navigating the first weeks and months of motherhood.

We ALL desire to be a good mom, but what we don't stress enough is that a good mom starts with a healthy mom. As we kick off the first episode of Season 3: #Momlife, we have invited our dear friend and favorite Christian Counselor, Kathy Cunningham, into the studio to help walk us through this discussion on motherhood and mental health.
We want to share our own personal stories and uncover the lies that we believe as moms that keep us bound, exhausted, depressed and anxious, and what can we do to maintain strong mental/emotional/physical and spiritual health.

In an overstimulated, overproductive and overtired society, the one thing we need is rest. But how? How do we add yet another thing "to do" on our already excessive to-do list? Well, the good news is, it's SO much easier than you think.

What do you think of when you hear the term "social rest?" Solitude? Unplugging from social media? Eliminating the noise in your life? Whelp, it's none of those things. Not in this chapter anyway.
The truth is, we were not made to do life alone. God created us for connection and all of us have a deep longing to be seen. To be known. Social rest is when we find comfort in our relationships and social interactions.
This week we are on PART TWO in our conversation, where we discuss the power of finding solace in one another.CONTACT/FOLLOW US:

Where is God when I hurt?
How can a loving God allow this?
Life’s trials can cause these questions to bubble up and pour out of our mouths. When life punches us in the gut we can be left with anger towards God, a lack of belief in God and feel disconnected with God.
On today's episode we will dive into some deep territory of pain, what is looks like to walk it out and how to find peace inside of yourself that offers a personal sanctuary in-spite of the chaos around us.

Just because it’s good, doesn’t mean it’s God. What are some of the signs that you may be suffering from emotional rest deficit?
In part 2 of "Emotional Rest," we unpack further the decisions we make everyday that deplete our emotional energy. We go all the way back to Adam & Eve, where we see that our decisions can lead us to peace or to turmoil. When we make bad choices, we often hide, confusing it for safety or rest.
Hiding drains and separates. Rest energized and rejoins.CONTACT/FOLLOW US:

Are your emotions depleted? Are you saying yes to everything? Where are you spending your emotional energy?
Between what's going on in the world and what's going on in our own lives, we have SO much coming against us.
In this first part of "Emotional Rest" we will talk about how to manage our "emotional bank account" and the importance of being vulnerable with boundaries.
Our power as women is in our connection and unity! So we need to learn how to turn our emotional triggers and offenses into opportunities to be inspired, learn and grow.
We need to choose to be inspired (not intimidated) by other women!

The New Year is often a time when many of us deep clean or declutter our homes. There is just something about clearing out our physical spaces that leads to a feeling of refreshing... a lightness. We love the peace that comes with a freshly organized space.
Our minds are no different. When left unchecked, just like our physical spaces, our minds collect clutter. There is life changing power of tidying up our minds and it starts with identifying the thoughts and learning to let go our thoughts that are not producing positive effects. In todays world of information overload how do we learn to quiet our minds? How do we shut off the mental noise?
Join us in a 2-part series on finding mental rest.
