This Motivation Monday, we talk about Worst Case Scenarios.
Don't.
Don't spend more time thinking about the worst case scenario than you do about the Plan A! What if it all works out? What if you operated out of that belief?

This week's episode is a must. Leah's guest is Sean Clifford, CEO of Canopy, father of four, and man of many degrees. Sean founded Canopy in 2019 to help build a world of healthy tech users, starting by protecting children from pornography.
Leah and Sean talk about the impact of COVID on internet usage and the paradoxical need for devices and their dangers. They also talk about brain development in children and saving them as long as possible from harmful images, and how to rewrite the parenting playbook in a way that helps form kids to face the future with confidence and competence.
Thankfully, Sean tells us how exactly Canopy works to filter toxic content on devices (this is where Leah gets her mind blown).

Step 2: Create a profile for yourself and/or your family.
Step 3: Install Canopy on the smartphones and devices you want.
Step 4: Customize your settings - filtering, alerts, etc.
Step 5: Use your devices as normal! Canopy will work quietly in the background!
Challenge from Sean:
1 - Set guardrails for yourself. Set the example you want your kids to follow about phone usage.
2- Know how much you matter to your kids and take advantage of those opportunities. Create opportunities for deep and meaningful conversation with your kids.

Listen. This is not just a cliche.
The Lord is always changing who we are. We can embrace not just who we are now, but who we're being called to become! The Lord is a Lord of transformation, and he is ready to springboard us off of those baselines into breakthroughs!

It's a heavy one, but I feel that it's important to share this, even though it's hard.
I'm sharing my story of losing my seventh baby.
Motivation has to go hand in hand with suffering. We need the support, prayers, and encouragement of one another when we're carrying our crosses, and that's one of the graces I found in the helplessness of my miscarriage.
Even (or maybe especially!) in the midst of suffering, we have the opportunity to receive love, grace, and the good intentions of those around us.
Pray for me, friends. I'm praying for you.Support the Show.

Setbacks and failures are, for sure, disappointing and tough to cope with. Leah shares a personal story of a setback and how she learned to respond to it and move through the place of disappointment.

You may not be able to control your circumstances, but you can definitely control how you respond to them.
Reacting is responding without thinking. Hopefully in responding, we take a holy pause before acting, and consider how we're going to respond. Christ calls us to live with order and thoughtfulness, not a state of chaos.

Welcome to my chat with film director Cameron O'Hearn! We discuss the project I worked with him on, which he calls "the case for the Traditional Latin Mass."
Do something today to make someone's day special! "Be all theirs for 5 minutes."
Watch Cameron's film, Mass of the Ages and learn more about it at https://theliturgy.org/. Visit Cameron's site Horselord Films, and see more of his work, particularly his moving documentary about his father.
Cameron shares with us how his love for the Latin Mass developed, and the shocking history of the Latin Mass in the past decades, and why the Latin Mass may be so closely tied to belief in the True Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
We go way back in Cameron's own story, and talk about how he came to be a filmmaker, what inspires and surprises him about making films, what film has in common with evangelization, what Beauty means for us in the world today, and keeping the most important things front and center in our lives.

Today, we're talking about Babies. There are a lot of serious conversations to have around motherhood, fertility, and the things we assume are in competition with having babies.
We discuss what babies and dreams do to each other - how they change and expand. We also go about debunking some of the lies and the false fears that surround these conversations by examining the human body and the power of understanding our fertility.

Welcome to the second of a 3-part series on the unique and yet also universal wounds that we experience as women.
Sit in silence with the LordGet to know yourself and your temperaments
Today, we're talking about Dreams. We define what dreams are, and we look at scripture to help us understand how our dreams are God-given, and they don't have to be selfish!
We dive into the idea of dreaming with the Lord: this includes discernment in our dreams, learning how the devil attacks us particularly in our dreams, and what obstacles get in the way of our dreaming. We also consider at some of the lies we hear from the world about our dreams, and even lies we might hear within the Church about our dreams!
Read the scriptures with us: Psalm 37:4, Proverbs 16:3, Proverbs 16:9, Proverbs 19:21, Isaiah 55:8, Ecclesiastes 3:1, John 10:10, Matthew 25:14.

Welcome to the first of a 3-part series on the unique and yet also universal wounds that we experience as women.
We talk about where these wounds come from, going all the way back to the very first woman, Eve. We talk about our ability, as women, to be mothers, and the nuances of what that means theologically and also practically. We look at how and why our fertility and mentalities around fertility are the primary place that women experience attack. This ultimately means that our relationships suffer from these wounds: with God the Father, with members of the opposite sex, and also with fellow women. And although these wounds are universal, we see that these wounds show up differently for every woman.
The only remedy is to give our wounds back to the Lord, at the foot of the cross and to ask the Lord for healing!
Follow Alex on Instagram and at her blog https://www.joymamablog.com/.

Welcome back to the podcast, Blake Brouillette! If you missed our previous conversation, check that out here!
We talk about the services Christ in the City provides in the city of Denver. The purpose is twofold: to form missionaries, and to serve the poor in the chronically homeless. The hope is that this mission will expand beyond Denver into other communities in need!
I share how "Blessing Bags", an idea Blake shared with me previously, has changed our family's life. We talk about what it means to see others not as strangers, but as someone who needs love. We also talk about the absolutely indispensable need for community as the basis of mission life (you can't serve strangers if you don't love the people you live with!) We also each share our experiences of thinking we could change the world, and being humbled by what we could learn from the poor. Blake shares some wisdom about finding your own Calcutta, and figuring out how to serve exactly where you are.
If doing something about homelessness is on your heart, please donate to Christ in the City and help them serve and expand!
Join Christ in the City on October 2nd for a Virtual Annual Celebration (check the website for details).
Challenge from Blake: Look to your left. Look to your right. See who are the poor in your community, and find your own Calcutta!

Today's guest is the amazing and inspiring Nicole Caruso!
Nicole began a movement by encouraging women, including herself, to see ourselves as #worthyofwearing something beautiful, despite the things we sometimes tell ourselves. You ARE #worthyofwearing!
We talk about the culture of feeling unworthy, unknown, unloved. We dive into the question of identity, and how can moms work with their daughters to instill confidence and worth. Nicole also shares advice for women ready to begin embracing the idea that they are worthy!
Nicole also shares some of the positive stories that have come from the movement of #worthyofwearing.
