Today’s episode of THRIVE is a little bit different…but hopefully still fun and still fruitful for you. Sharing a few voice memos off of my phone from the past few months - and they run the gamut from heavier and heartfelt to light and random (with a special guest appearance…).

We’ve ALL been there. The day kicks off and WHAM BAM it’s school pickup then sports then dinner then bedtime and wait, did I forget to pray today? Definitely didn’t have a warm cup of coffee with quiet Bible time…heck, my coffee was forgotten cold somewhere, probably in the microwave for the 8th time. If that sounds familiar, you’re in good company - and you’ll love today’s episode with our new friend, Kayla Craig. Kayla is a mom of four, author of Every Season Sacred and To Light Their Way, and the creator of Liturgies for Parents…which is an AWESOME resource with collections of prayers when you don’t have words or time yourself. In our conversation we talk about nurturing your family’s faith, the best ways to teach your kids to pray, how to make your LIFE a prayer, and all about BREATH prayers, which will feel like a breath of fresh air today - literally!

Friends…it’s time to talk friendships. Making (+ keeping!) girlfriends as grownups is a whole ‘nother level. So many of the stresses we faced on the playground or in the high school halls can somehow feel…alarmingly similar to thoughts racing through our brains as adults. Add to that changing seasons, growing families, different priorities and stages, and it’s like the Wild West out there, ladies! Female friendship coach, educator and author Danielle Bayard Jackson is on THRIVE today, and let us be the first to say - it’s one of our most FIRE episodes on friendship ever! How do you know when a friendship has run its course? When should you fight for the friendship - and how? What about those uncomfortable conversations or hard chats that need to be had? And can we talk about making NEW friends, too? There’s all that and then some, so buckle up and press play!

This episode is a true treat for parents who want to THRIVE. Destini is a certified parenting coach, a social media rockstar, the author of Very Intentional Parenting, and one of my personal FAVORITE people to follow on Instagram. Her advice today is equal parts practical and applicable. We talk about how to build better connections with your kids and challenge the idea of “discipline” as means of teaching instead of punishing. We talk about transitioning from being “the yeller” parent to better regulating your own emotions in tough parenting moments, and we talk about actual scripts to use to get through high emotion, high tension situations like a child hitting or acting out. Destini is all about data collection, so you’ll finish this episode feeling more equipped as a mom (or dad!), and better able to hold boundaries compassionately and parent calmly, learning your kid, what works, and what doesn’t.

WARNING: Today’s episode of THRIVE may inspire a decluttering, cleaning, and/or organizing spree! It’s been a long time coming to get my girlfriend Kallie on THRIVE, but this episode was well worth the wait. Kallie is a decluttering QUEEN and has loads of realistic tips and tricks up her sleeve to make REAL impact in getting and KEEPING a tidier, more organized space. If you’re already sitting there thinking “But I have kids! And pets! A small house!” no worries - Kallie is best known for her relatable advice, so if your home looks like people, you know, LIVE there and not like the inside of a home decor magazine from your Instagram feed - you’re in the right place. Today you’ll take away tips for tidying up fast, decluttering efficiently, and organizing without buying out the Container Store. You’ll also learn a few ways to get your kids involved and mistakes to stop making to instantly look tidier and feel better.

Whether you’ve been sober-curious for a while or never even considered taking a break from booze, today’s episode is for you. Karolina Rzadkowolska is a speaker, podcaster, and the author of Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier More Confident You, and she’s got a completely jam-packed, informative episode ahead that will probably blow your mind (in the best sense). Today on THRIVE, she breaks down what alcohol - in any amount - actually *does* to our bodies and brains, as well as what you can realistically expect from a break. She gives the full lowdown on WHY to consider a break, even if you don’t have “a problem” with alcohol (and why she’s personally alcohol-free after years of being “a drinker”). And beyond that, she gives helpful tricks and tools for managing the social side of it all - how to still have fun (loads of it!), feel confident (even moreso!), and literally live out your wildest, biggest dreams sans booze.

This is the one we’ve alllll been waiting for…it’s time to talk pelvic floor therapy. Erica has been in pelvic floor therapy on and off for over a year now, since around her second trimester of pregnancy with Jonah, and it has truly changed her life. One of those things you want to shout from the rooftops so every woman can know - no gatekeeping here, girlfriends! Knowledge is power, and you need to know these things about your own body. This isn’t just kegels and pee pads, ladies - it can mean less leakage, pain-free intercourse, better workouts, less back and/or neck pain…the list goes on! Your pelvic floor does a LOT, and Erica’s own therapist is joining her on THRIVE today to talk ALL about it. Nothing is off limits, your questions are answered, and they *go there* to help a sista out. Listen up!
Post-conversation addition from Kara: Multiple randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that perineal massage (from 34 weeks gestation until delivery) decreased the risk of an episiotomy and perineal tears, particularly 3rd and 4th degree tears. Perineal massage has also been associated with reduced second stage of labor, decreased incidence of anal incontinence, and less perineal pain postpartum.

Does budgeting feel like a dirty word to you? Or, maybe just…boring? Uncomfy? Generally UN-fun? The Russells are here to help! Sarah (from Team THRIVE!) is hopping *behind* the mic today with her husband, Ryan, to share the practical tips they use in their everyday life to make budgeting easier than ever before…and yes, actually FUN. They went from being newlyweds making about $20,000 all year TOGETHER to thriving as a family of four with dreams and goals - so yes, it’s possible! No matter where you’re at income-wise, Sarah and Ryan are sharing how + why to make budgeting happen. They break down their practical 3-prong approach, how to talk dollars as a couple, and some of their favorite resources + tools to both make budgeting easier AND family-friendly at age-appropriate levels, too (without letting any past “junk” from your own past money mindset in the picture).

This one’s for the go-getter girls. Are you one of them? You’re a high achieving, big dreaming, goal setting, coffee drinking gal who’s maybe also Type A, maybe an Enneagram 3, maybe an oldest sibling…maybe a recovering perfectionist and/or retired “girlboss.” Rebecca George is our guest today, here to remind YOU of your God-given gifts…and how to reframe your mindset and recenter your efforts to do the thing that YOU were made to do. We talk about goal setting, but more specifically and intentionally, about what GOSPEL-centered goal-setting looks like, to link arms with the Lord to do not just what’s on *your* to-do list, but what’s on His for your life. If you’ve been discerning your next steps or what your “bigger picture” might be, or if you’ve felt “stuck” or unsure what to do, press play and lean in.

Podcaster, speaker, author and Enneagram coach Ainsley Britain is here to break down the “boo-boo dudes” - the always-unideal, sometimes-toxic, never-Mr.Rights who leave you feeling more confused, isolated, and ultimately less loved than you deserve. So…what DO you deserve? And how can you go about dating - especially in this century - in a godly, gospel-centered way? Ainsley is here to help. In this episode, we talk about what IS “toxic” in a relationship, and how to know whether you should give him another chance (because nobody’s perfect) or say goodbye for good. We also talk red flags, standards - what yours should be - and how to gracefully exit stage left if/when you realize you’re in a futureless relationship while honestly assessing your own growth and role, too.

Ever smell something that instantly brings you back to a specific memory, person, or point in time? Maybe the smell of fresh cut grass, or sugar cookies in the oven, or your mom’s perfume? I know what candle was burning in our little townhouse basement back in 2020, and every time I smell Polo cologne it feels like my dad is here for the holidays. Why? Because your sense of smell is directly linked to your memory - they’re literally next door to one another in your brain! Today on THRIVE we’re welcoming back my friend Beth from State of Being Co. - an affirmation candle company that harnesses this powerful connection to create tools to effect positive change in your life and actually change your…state of being! We’re so stoked to bring you an incredible, intentional collaboration between THRIVE x State of Being: the THRIVING candle. Designed specifically to help you go from a life of surviving…to thriving!

For years, Becca Wierwille felt different than everyone else. Namely because she was born with only half of one arm. But instead of letting her limb difference define her, she’s learned to lean in, acknowledge how it impacts her life, and then use it as a way to celebrate others’ differences and God’s intentional design for each of us. Today, Becca writes stories to show kids they are wonderfully created for the unique adventures in their lives, and she’s sharing her story on THRIVE to remind you that your differences truly make you BEAUTIFUL.

Ever wonder what it would be like to just…do it all yourself? Nix the drama of the public school systems and call the shots for your kids from the comfort of your own home? Cut the crap with the food industry and cultivate a healthier, more holistic livelihood with your own farm fresh eggs or dairy milk on your own little homestead? Maybe the thought of homeschooling or homesteading gives you hives, or maybe you’ve heard the words but don’t know much about either - and that’s where today’s episode comes in. Shelbey Kendall is a homeschooling, homesteading mom and author, and she’s giving us the greatest inside look at both words in her world - and how her mind was changed and she got started, as someone who once couldn’t IMAGINE ever being “that mom” to homeschool.

This one might be...unpopular. But we're here for it, and we hope you will be, too! Erica, Sarah, and Taylor from Team THRIVE are behind the mic together to share their *unpopular* opinions, from Gilmore Girls to grammar, Beyonce to body positivity, barrel leg jeans to boxers-as-shorts (and every trend in between) - it's loaded with our hot takes and hotter defenses of the opinions we're taking to the grave...or at least, to the internet. ;)
