Up Your Energy at Any Age (w/Health & Lifestyle Consultant, Craig Bruce)

July 09, 2022 04:00 - 37 minutes - 25.7 MB

 Do you ever watch children race around without ever tiring and think, “I wish I had that kind of energy!” Sure, that sort of stamina may be out of reach (and honestly not really needed for most grownups), but it is possible to “up your game” to meet the mental and physical challenges of everything you juggle.  In fact, re-igniting energy and helping with stress and burnout is what our guest, Craig Bruce specializes in. The former executive who tells us his bad habits led him on a downward h...

Prayer is a Two-Way Street (Bonus)

June 25, 2022 04:00 - 15 minutes - 10.8 MB

Whether prayer is a daily practice, a sometimes thing or an emergency outlet, most of us have called out to the Almighty. In our last episode “God, Please Speak to Me,” we explored whether He communicates back; and if He does, how it could happen. Our guest, Kelli Shelton from Seek Well Ministries, really opened our eyes (and ears) and the episode is becoming one of our most listened-to. In this short bonus episode, we reflect on what we learned from it and explore ways we believe God has di...

God, Please Speak To Me (w/ Kelli Shelton of Seek Well Ministries)

June 11, 2022 04:00 - 37 minutes - 26.1 MB

When you pray, you open the door to communicating with God. Whether out loud or silently, with others or by yourself; you can let Him know what’s on your mind and in your heart. But do you listen for Him to speak back to you? Is it even possible, and if so, how does that happen?  We invited a wonderful guest, Kelli Shelton from “Seek Well” Ministries to share her knowledge about how we can experience God’s divine guidance in our lives.  Kelli and her husband Tim co-founded “Seek Well”  whic...

How Slowing Down Speeds Up Success (and Happiness!)

May 28, 2022 04:00 - 15 minutes - 10.7 MB

We live in a society that glorifies “the grind.”  We’re proud of our hustle and hard work to make things happen. Setting goals and going after them is a good thing, the trick is to pace yourself; and to take time to "stop and smell the roses" on the way. We know that constantly pushing ourselves and rushing around can lead to burnout both physically and mentally, but  many of us continue at a breakneck pace because we think it’s necessary to achieve our goals and dreams. The reality is, adop...

Making Time for What Counts: Tips from Busy Pros

May 14, 2022 04:00 - 9 minutes - 6.95 MB

We can think of “time for what counts” in a couple of ways. Making sure we check the most pressing things off our to-do list, or getting our business taken care of so we can focus on the things in life that matter to us most: like family, friends, faith or causes we support. In this bonus mini episode, we talk about both as we get advice from to two very accomplished professionals who juggle all these things and are the kind of people who you might want to ask, “how in the world do they get ...

Diversity is More Than a Buzzword (w/ Gail Perry-Mason & Mark S. Lee)

April 30, 2022 04:00 - 30 minutes - 20.8 MB

Imagine yourself in a world of open-armed opportunities for all. It’s what we all say we want. However, there still exist many shallow, external factors that people consciously or unconsciously use to exclude others. Why do humans do this? Why not take the strengths and perspectives of people of various ages, races, genders, and backgrounds and use their viewpoints to enhance our communities, organizations, businesses, and our lives? Sometimes we just need a little help learning how to do th...

When Life Takes an Unexpected Turn

April 15, 2022 21:00 - 5 minutes - 4.22 MB

Finding someplace we’ve never been is a fairly low-stress thing these days using navigation systems. You just put in the address and off you go.  It wasn’t always like that. Back in the day with MapQuest or even paper maps, the routes didn’t automatically just re-calculate and course-correct us if we took a wrong turn.  The road of our lives is also filled with wrong turns, or maybe a better way to phrase that would be unexpected turns. These detours might shake things up for just a season,...

Holding On To Hope (w/ Marilyn Nutter & April White, authors of "Destination Hope: A Travel Companion When Life Falls Apart")

April 02, 2022 04:00 - 34 minutes - 23.7 MB

Ups and Downs are part of life, but sometimes the “downs” seem more like cliffs we can’t climb up. “We encourage women to see that the hit that knocks you down doesn’t have to keep you there,” Marilyn Nutter wrote to us in an email a few months back. Marilyn and her co-author April White have become affectionately known as “The Hope Ladies” and we are excited to share their stories of hope and faith.   Connect with our guests: MarilynNutter.com AprilDawnWhite.com For more inspiration, visi...

What To Do When You’re Hurting

March 19, 2022 04:00 - 12 minutes - 8.78 MB

The answer to “what to do when you’re hurting” is not a simple one, and it can be very different for people. However, there are guideposts that can help in many cases. In our episode “God Will Get You Through”, writer and speaker Angela Scott told us about the emotional road she traveled and ways she dealt with devastation in her life. In this bonus episode, we reflect on what we learned and open up about what got us through some very rough circumstances in our own lives. These few minutes a...

God Will Get You Through! (w/Writer & Speaker, Angela Scott)

March 05, 2022 05:00 - 34 minutes - 23.9 MB

There’s a good chance you’re going through something challenging right now.  Maybe you’re even facing a huge mountain of adversity. Whatever you’re dealing with and as impossible as the odds may seem, one way or another, God will get you through. That’s the message of our guest, Angela Scott. She’s turned her misfortunes into a ministry to help other women know that they, too, can turn to the Lord.  She’ll walk us through some of her struggles and the steps she’s taking to “turn mourning int...

Why Black History Month

February 20, 2022 05:00 - 20 minutes - 14.1 MB

Who doesn’t love a good celebration? Celebrating and enjoying traditions and taking time to honor those who have paved the way for us is part of the fabric of America. And Black History is a prominent, distinct, and very valuable piece of that fabric.  We decided to focus in on the significance and beautiful benefits of celebrating the heritage, culture, history, and contributions of Black Americans in a way that doesn’t feel like a high school history lesson. We have chosen to take you to ...

The Power of Prayer in Marriage

February 12, 2022 20:00 - 8 minutes - 5.92 MB

Prayer has the power to change things and that includes marriages. In this bonus mini-episode, we dig into more of our discussion with Relationship Coach, Rev. Monica Humpal, this time with a focus on faith. So much impact can be made when we pray with and for our spouse, and so much good can come out of looking to the example of Jesus to help us with communication, boundaries and how we treat each other.  In our last episode “Are You Fighting Fair With Your Partner?”, Rev. Humpal gave us l...

Are You Fighting Fair With Your Partner? (w/Relationship Coach, Rev. Monica Humpal)

January 30, 2022 05:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MB

Fighting is a given in relationships. While it’s certainly not healthy to constantly be in conflict, it is normal (and potentially beneficial) to argue with your partner.  It’s how you both handle it that can make all the difference. Do your clashes strengthen the bonds of love and respect or rip them apart piece by piece? We called on relationship coach, Rev. Monica Humpal to help us fight fair and lead us through the keys of effective communication in good times and bad. In addition to o...

New Directions for Your Professional Life

January 16, 2022 05:00 - 29 minutes - 20.5 MB

Are you thinking about a new direction professionally? It doesn’t matter what age or stage or life you’re in, we think this episode may open your eyes to possibilities that you may not have considered. So much has changed lately and there are new and different options that may be on the table for you. We’re spotlighting four interviews with career coaches and experts in the professional space who want to talk about a new path forward, one that will address real priorities  and honor the work...

Healthier Living: Small Steps, Big Results

January 02, 2022 05:00 - 34 minutes - 23.7 MB

It seems like we are always bombarded with messages about how we should live a healthier life, but it really kicks up every January. That’s all good, but it can be overwhelming... especially because some of the advice or tips contradict other things we hear. So, our goal is simple: cut through the clutter and focus on what you can do now. Over the years, we’ve talked to many wonderful experts in different areas of health and wellness and discovered a running theme: small changes can lead to ...

Faith Boosters: Women Who Helped Us Trust God in 2021

December 19, 2021 05:00 - 28 minutes - 19.9 MB

When it comes down to it, a big part of growing in our faith is learning more and more to trust God and His timing. Part of the process is sometimes having to go through things that are (to say the least) challenging and uncomfortable. It helps to hear stories and from others who have walked a difficult path and have turned their tests into testimonies. In this episode, we feature five women we talked with over the past year. You’ll hear stories of enduring through trials, learning total sur...

5 Tips from Mental Health Pros

December 12, 2021 05:00 - 26 minutes - 18.4 MB

Mental Health can be a weighty and serious issue, but that doesn’t me we can’t have more casual or even fun conversations about it. In this episode, we hear from some of the mental health professionals we’ve talked to on the podcast. Each one drops nuggets of information and practical advice on topics like experiencing anxiety, feeling depressed, being affected by negative self-talk, taking control of our thoughts and suffering from loneliness. Some of our chats are serious and some more lig...

Mind-Blowing Lessons From Life Coaches

December 05, 2021 05:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MB

These days life coaches are becoming more and more popular. We love talking to them so we can pass along ways to make us better, happier humans. So, let's dig in to help motivate us  in areas we might need to work on, but do it without all the judgement. In this episode we highlight lessons learned from four coaches we talked to in previous episodes. We’ll get eleven keys to self-care (Kerry Rasenberger), how to break a bad habit by "deconditioning  desire" (Leslie Hoerner), overcoming fears...

Beating the Holiday Blues

November 28, 2021 05:00 - 7 minutes - 5.51 MB

While everyone is “decking the halls with boughs of holly”, what if this year it doesn’t feel like the season to be jolly? What if grief, depression, loneliness, or something else makes this season especially difficult? We talked to a professional to get some tips especially designed to help with these issues during the holiday season. We hope what Matt Lawson of Chicago Compass Counseling has to say will help  - whether it’s something unique to this year or if the Christmas season is just t...

Next Level Gratitude

November 21, 2021 05:00 - 10 minutes - 7.26 MB

There’s a wonderful quote that says “gratitude turns what we have into enough.” It’s a simple concept but one that’s worth repeating: if we focus on the things that we DO have instead of what we feel we lack we realize we are truly blessed.  But how can we have NEXT LEVEL gratitude? What does that even mean? We’re releasing this episode just before Thanksgiving, the time when we many of us will go around the table and say what we’re grateful for. Some of us are better at counting our bless...

Help for a High-Priced Holiday Season w/Financial Coach Kembala Evans

November 14, 2021 05:00 - 8 minutes - 5.85 MB

It’s no secret that prices have gone through the roof lately. The cost of everything from filling up your gas tank to filling up your shopping cart has spiked. From cat food to cars and hamburgers to houses, we are feeling a big pain in the wallet. Not to mention, sometimes we just consider ourselves lucky to even FIND what we set out to purchase. Words that most folks don’t hear much outside of an economics class like “supply chain” and “inflation” are now common in everyday language. That’...

What to Say and Not Say When Someone Is Going Through Hard Times

October 31, 2021 04:00 - 13 minutes - 9.44 MB

When people in our lives are going through grief or adversity, our hearts break for them. We want to help them, encourage them, let them know we are there for them. As we recorded this episode, Lanee was in the midst of what she called THE toughest season of her life. She gives us advice on what she feels was helpful, not helpful, or even hurtful. Keeping in mind that people are not the same, have different needs and respond in various ways, we take an honest look designed to assist those st...

Finding Joy on the Good and Bad Days

October 24, 2021 04:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MB

Would you rather have happiness or joy? Once you listen to this episode, you are sure to have a very clear choice. So many of us are dealing with new situations, uncertainties, insecurities, and difficult times that we can’t control. We might feel like we can’t hold onto happiness or joy. But what if we took a different approach so that we could keep ourselves centered, faithful, and joyful on the good and the bad days?  Singer and author Lee Cruz uses the Instagram account @sheisabutterfly...

Bonus: How Humor Can Help in Hard Times

October 17, 2021 04:00 - 8 minutes - 5.95 MB

When a crisis hits or heartbreak happens, it’s certainly no laughing matter. However, at some point in our coping process, humor may have a place. Last week’s guest on the episode “Knocking Down Life’s Obstacles”,  Lisa Jesswein talked about how learning to laugh at things helped her survive and even thrive during some pretty extreme adversity. In this bonus episode, we’ll hear a little more on that from Lisa and talk about how it’s helped us also.  Through all of it, we hope to encourage an...

Knocking Down Life's Obstacles (w/Guest, Lisa Jesswein)

October 10, 2021 04:00 - 23 minutes - 16.1 MB

Life is full of obstacles and adversity. These unwelcome events and circumstances can vary from being slightly annoying to absolutely devastating. Our guest, Lisa Jesswein has dealt with  A LOT of adversity, most of which would fall into the latter category. It started early for her: from serious medical issues as a child to a near death experience as a teenager, to a health scare that threatened her career just as it was taking off as an adult.  She not only triumphed her way over each one,...

Bonus: Why Looking Back Can Move Us Forward

October 03, 2021 04:00 - 9 minutes - 6.94 MB

When you get together with a friend you haven’t seen in a while, it’s fun to reminisce about the good old days! It can also be therapeutic talking about the not-so-good old days. It’s not so different when you write in a journal and then look back on it days, weeks, years and even decades later! In this bonus episode, we reflect on last week’s chat with Tareka Wheeler of Professional DNA, Change Your Life By Changing The Way You See Yourself. In that episode, we discovered the tremendous pow...

Change Your Life By Changing The Way You See Yourself (w/Tareka Wheeler of Professional DNA)

September 26, 2021 04:00 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MB

How cool would it be to meet your future self? For some of us, it sounds like a great idea, but for others, it feels intimidating because it means changing who we are. This week’s episode is going to challenge you to change how you see yourself, and our guest, Tareka Wheeler, Career and Mindset Strategist of Professional DNA shares a technique that will change the game in a simple, honest, and personalized way. If you’re ready to discover the next version of yourself, consider this question...

Bonus: When You Feel Like You’re Not Enough

September 19, 2021 04:00 - 8 minutes - 6.17 MB

Feeling like we’re not enough is all too common these days. In a culture that seems to encourage us to be crushing everything on our calendars all while creating Instagram-perfect moments, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged. In this bonus follow-up episode for  Can You Really Let Go and Let God? ,  author & speaker Erica Wiggenhorn talks about feelings of inadequacy, imposter syndrome and how our faith in God can ultimately rescue us. More inspiration at ImagineYourselfPodcast.c...

Can You Really Let Go and Let God? w/ Author & Speaker Erica Wiggenhorn

September 12, 2021 04:00 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MB

Growing up, having confidence in our abilities was the big goal that led to success. But what happens to those of us who struggle with low levels of self-confidence? We might have to try a different route…looking up! We can turn things around by looking to God—exchanging confidence with “Godfidence.” That’s a term that our enlightening guest, Author/Teacher/Speaker, Erica Wiggenhorn, shared with us on this powerful episode.   In fact, it's something we ALL need!                              ...

Bonus: What Are You Doing Differently to Achieve Your Dreams?

August 29, 2021 04:00 - 7 minutes - 5.49 MB

Whether you’re re-visiting an old dream and looking for fresh tactics or have a brand-new vision brewing for your life, the next few minutes may give you just the spark you need. In this bonus episode, we reflect on our last episode with best-selling author Bianca Slone “Is It Finally Time to Make Your Dream a Reality?”. We take the tips and mindsets she used when she decided it was time to re-new her quest to write novels and apply them to our dreams. We also explore some options that would...

Is It Finally Time to Make Your Dream a Reality? (w/Author, Bianca Sloane)

August 22, 2021 04:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MB

Is there a dream or goal you would  pursue if you knew you couldn’t fail? Many of us shove things off to the side because we don’t have the time, energy, or bandwidth to go after them.  However, as technology and working from home has changed the way we do things, and the pandemic has re-ordered priorities, it may be worth re-considering. Here’s a story of someone who did just that! We think you’ll be inspired by this interview with a best-selling author who once thought trading in the 9-5 g...

Bonus: How Can I Hear From God?

August 15, 2021 04:00 - 9 minutes - 6.81 MB

How do people hear from God? There are many opinions and stories. For most, it’s not through an audible voice, but it can be just as clear to the hearer.  In this bonus episode, we  reflect on two episodes we had recently on faith: When You’re Waiting on God with Lorie Barnwell and Releasing Shame and Perfectionism: Writer Candice Miller Shares her Faith Journey. In both episodes, the power of prayer and the fact that it was not a one-way conversation played a huge part in some major breakt...

When You’re Waiting on God w/Guest Lorie Barnwell

August 08, 2021 04:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MB

No one likes to wait. And the bigger the “something” we’re waiting for to happen, the harder it gets. Trusting God means trusting His timing which is often easier said than done. Every once in a while, a story comes along that helps us remember that miracles do happen, and that God’s timing IS always perfect. We hope you enjoy the story of our guest Lorie Barnwell. Her testimony is raw and emotional. It's full of ups and downs and has the twists and turns of a binge-worthy Netflix series. It...

Bonus: How to Do It Afraid

August 01, 2021 04:00 - 8 minutes - 6.05 MB

Are you tired of letting fear stop you? While appropriate in some situations, at times our fears can seem to paralyze from doing things we want to do for ourselves or others. It can leave us short of our goals and dreams. If you can’t stop the fear, sometimes you have to just push past it. That can be easier said than done. In this bonus episode, we reflect on what we learned from our expert guest, Grace Brown in episode 11 called “Moving From Fears to Fierce”.  We applied some of her tips a...

Moving From Fears to Fierce (w/Mindset Coach Grace Brown)

July 25, 2021 04:00 - 18 minutes - 12.6 MB

On paper, fear is described as “alarm or apprehension.” In and of itself, fear isn’t a bad thing; in fact, we have what’s called a fight-flight-freeze response that is a natural reaction to danger. With some things, though, this “danger” is more in our own minds, and fear can put a hard stop to our dreams and goals. Getting past them isn’t easy, so we called on an expert. Grace Brown has some marvelous methods to conquer our fears and move us from “fears to fierce”. ---- Grace is a Momentum...

Bonus: Life Lessons from Grandma Susie

July 18, 2021 04:00 - 7 minutes - 5.54 MB

There’s probably no better way to learn valuable life lessons than looking to our elders. As a follow-up to our previous episode entitled Second Chances at Life and Love , we had a chance to reflect on what we learned, actions we’re taking and ideas for you. Lanee thought back to her Grandma Susie who held the key to some major inspiration! Interestingly, it wasn’t just about what she did in her youth, but what she did in her later years that gave us some potentially life-changing lessons. C...

Second Chances at Life & Love: Author Jeanne Hussin Helps Us Hit the Refresh Button

July 11, 2021 04:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MB

When you hear the quote “It’s never too late to be what you might have been,” does it strike a chord in you?  Does it make you ponder dreams deferred by life’s realities? Do you wonder if those dreams have passed their expiration dates? Well, to quote our guest Jeanne Hussin, “you’re not too old and it’s never too late.” In fact, after you hear her story, you too may be saying “good things are right around the corner!” And not simply good things -- but great things, big dreams and maybe even...

Releasing Shame and Perfectionism: Writer Candice Miller Shares Her Faith Journey

June 27, 2021 04:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MB

Are you tired of striving to be enough? In this world, we talk a lot about the importance of being seen, having purpose, and feeling like we’re enough. It’s not easy living up to idealized versions of who we think we need to be, and that can lead to perfectionism and even shame. This episode is dedicated to anyone who has ever felt like they’re the only one. The only one feeling the intense pressure of perfectionism. The only one feeling the pain of guilt and shame. The only one who is not m...

Bonus: Tips to Help You Sleep

June 20, 2021 04:00 - 7 minutes - 5.48 MB

Trouble falling asleep or getting back to sleep after waking in the middle of the night is something most  people deal with at some point in their lives. Whether it’s a minor annoyance or an every-night issue for you, we think you’ll find this short episode helpful. It was inspired by our guest, sleep expert and therapist Katelyn Anderson on the podcast How to Finally Get a Good Night’s Sleep. In it, she talked about the intersection between mental health and sleep and dished out a ton of he...

How to Finally Get a Good Night’s Sleep (with Sleep Expert Katelyn Anderson)

June 13, 2021 04:00 - 35 minutes - 24.4 MB

In life there are times famous for sleep deprivation: the arrival of a baby, the all-nighters studying in school, the tossing and turning before a big life event, the crazy schedule that makes getting enough sleep a pipedream. What happens, though, when not getting the rest we need becomes a persistent problem? We called on sleep expert Katelyn Anderson  to help us finally get a good night’s sleep (hopefully lots of them!) If you or someone you love could benefit from better sleep or you jus...

Bonus: What Do You Want to Be Known For?

June 06, 2021 04:00 - 7 minutes - 5.37 MB

What do you want to be known for? It’s an interesting and profound question to ask yourself. In this mini-episode, a follow-up to our last episode with Coach and Consultant Heather Wolfson,  Opening the Door to What's Next in Your Life, we did just that. Many of us are investigating or full-out heading into new opportunities right now; but are we asking ourselves the right questions and making the right preparations before we jump in? Is it going to serve our values and enhance what we want ...

Opening the Door to What’s Next in Your Life (w/Coach and Consultant, Heather Wolfson)

May 23, 2021 04:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MB

Do you want to learn the art of being able to pivot in life? This past year has taught us that we can’t take anything for granted, and many of us wonder what’s the next best step to take in order to accomplish our goals, make an impact, and leave a legacy. For those of us who are motivated to do things differently this year, we invite you to listen in to our guest Heather Wolfson, CEO and Lead Strategist of Maven Coaching and Consulting as she gives us a few pointers on how to redefine our r...

Bonus: Learning When to Say No to Yourself

May 16, 2021 04:00 - 7 minutes - 5.12 MB

Part of setting healthy boundaries involves those you set with yourself. When we interviewed coach Leslie Hoerner in our last podcast titled Finding Balance Through Boundaries, one of the topics that came up was saying no to ourselves. It had a big personal impact on us both because we had typically thought setting boundaries was all about pointing outward. While setting boundaries definitely includes (and maybe even emphasizes) our relationships and how may need to set limits with others, i...

Finding Balance Through Boundaries (w/ Coach Leslie Hoerner at Better Than Balanced)

May 09, 2021 09:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MB

Balance is a tricky thing to achieve because it looks different for each person.  However, there’s one thing that forges balance for everyone, and that’s a set of well-defined boundaries. If you take a look at your cellphone “Settings,” you’ll see that there’s an array of choices that range from “Downtime,” “App Limits,” “Content & Privacy Restrictions,” and “Always Allowed.” This week’s episode shows us how to incorporate our own set of limits and allowances in order to strike a perfect bal...

Bonus: Quick Home Hacks

May 02, 2021 09:00 - 6 minutes - 4.47 MB

Here’s what happened when we decided to try some of the tips our last guest gave us for home décor and organization.  We hope these little hacks/ideas will inspire you! Thanks to our latest guest,  Meah Pace (5 Easy Ways to Turn Your House Into a Home Sweet Home)  and our guest from last season’s Organization 101, Nadia Audette. We were able to incorporate ideas from both. Enjoying your home is such a boost for your state of mind!  Check out the full episodes for more details. For more ins...

5 Easy Ways to Turn Your House Into Home Sweet Home (w/Home Décor Expert, Meah Pace)

April 25, 2021 09:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MB

Whether you feel like your home needs a little lift or a large overhaul, thinking about getting it done can be extremely overwhelming. Most folks would say they are short on money, time…or both!
