  • On this episode of The Hot Flash Podcast, we (Amy and Anita) were so excited to welcome our longtime friend, Laney Crowder! Laney is married to her high school sweetheart, Corey Crowder, is mom to two amazing kiddos, and has a huge heart for God.

    In this episode we discuss a range of topics, including how to deal with tragedy and anxiety, encouraging gratitude, and the importance of kindness.

    Laney shares her personal stories and experiences and talks about how her ministry, Life in the Wheat Field, is centered around living life in abundance, as inspired by John 10:10.

    We hope you are encouraged and inspired through our conversation with Laney, like we were.

    And be sure to share with your family and friends, nothing beats a Hot Flash!

    XOXO,

    Amy + Anita

  • On this episode of The Hot Flash Podcast, we welcome wellness and sober living coach Stacy Miller. Stacy shares her personal journey with alcohol addiction and how she overcame it through the avoidance method and replacing drinking with activities like hiking and binge-watching Netflix. (Don't we all!) We also talk about the importance of being honest about our relationship with alcohol and the social stigma surrounding being sober.

    Stacy shares about her passion project, Sober30, which offers resources for those seeking sobriety and advocates for replacing alcohol with intentional fuel and daily movement!

    We were so encouraged by her "mess that she turned into a message", we hope it will inspire and encourage you too!

  • WELCOME TO SEASON 3 of The Hot Flash Podcast!! We must say thank you to everyone who supports us by listening, sharing and connecting! It means soo very much to us.

    For our first episode of Season 3, we welcome back to the Hot Flash microphone, our very good friend, Donna Sherer. Donna has two gorgeous daughters, one is married and she and her husband have a beautiful daughter, so Donna definitely qualifies as an expert in the area of Mother-In-Laws.

    With this being a newer season of life for us (Amy and Anita), we know there is much to learn from her.

    Donna shares wise advice and practical tips for how to master the art of "mother-in-lawing" (which should be a word). Whether you are one now or have this season of life to look forward to, this episode has something for you.

    Grab your headphones and listen now.

    We hope you enjoy and much love,

    Amy & Anita

  • Hi Hot Flashers!

    Okay... if you are not a fan of snakes 🐍, like us 😱, then maybe you completely get this childhood trauma we experienced(Thanks Daddy! Mom why did you never make Daddy get that snake out of our attic?) and we share today how it has absolutely followed us into adulthood.

    Neither of us can ever say we will be lovers of those slithery creatures, but what we do know is even if you have a trigger from your childhood, maybe it's snakes, or maybe it is something much harder, it is something that God wants to and can heal, that we believe wholeheartedly!

  • "A true friend accepts who you are, but also helps you become who you should be."

    Why do friendships matter? Because life is hard, because life is unpredictable, because we are designed to be in relationship with others.

  • In this episode of The Hot Flash Podcast, we welcome Courtney Ibinger to the Hot Flash Podcast microphone and start by sharing the story of when we (Amy & Anita) decidedly became car thieves, at quite a young age.

    In a flash, Courtney is a native of Wisconsin and moved to the upstate of SC in 2018. In Wisconsin, she was a teacher. They were making a move to SC and thinking of starting a family so this was the perfect opportunity to pivot in her career. She wanted to have more flexibility in her schedule and to be able to stay at home with her crew. So pivot is what Courtney did and she started her own business.

    Courtney has built a thriving, online business that has given her personal and financial freedom. And she shares her secrets and tips for how you can do it too.

  • Happy 25th Anniversary Anita & Andrew!!

    That is no small feat and deserving of recognition, especially in today's world, when the average marriage lasts 8.2 years (a recent study notes).

    In this episode of The Hot Flash podcast, Amy and Anita are talking love and marriage. Between the two of us we have 49 years of wedded bliss (which certainly has not always been bliss 😄) of this crazy commitment two people make to each other to be together through "better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and health, as long as you both shall live".

    What makes this episode very special is Anita and Andrew are celebrating 25 years of marriage TODAY! How cool is that?

    We hope you are encouraged to know you can make it through anything, together and with Jesus!

    And of course, that is makes you laugh.

    XOXO,

    Amy & Anita
