Today Cayla and I talk about her first book, What Do You Really Want? – 7 Questions That Can Unlock the Answers to a Life Full of Abundance, Meaning, and Connection, and I have a feeling it will be one of the most listened-to episodes yet because there’s just so much meat in our conversation!! Working as an ER nurse, she realized she was unconsciously believing a lot of unhelpful narratives about herself that were influencing her everyday life. Being willing to do the hard work and get honest with herself, Cayla ended up quitting her 9-5 and pouring all she’s learned into women who also...

It’s such a pleasure to bring this conversation to you because I know you’re going to LOVE Joy. Today, we talk about her latest book, You Are a Tree – and Other Metaphors to Nourish Life, Thought, and Prayer. If any of you love Madeline L’Engle, you will adore Joy’s writing.

If you feel stuck in cycles of brokenness, then this episode is for you ♥️ I’m so honored to share this conversation with my dear friend (of over a decade!) Kristen Hallinan, as we talk about unknowingly repeating the mistakes of our parents and grandparents, passing on pain and suffering. But guess what…this legacy of trauma can end with you! ☺️ No matter what has happened in the past or what mess you might be in today, you are not destined to carry on your family’s wounds, unhealthy behaviors, or toxic relationships. It doesn’t have to be this way. Your legacy can...

As you likely know, our family is going through a double-family crisis, which has massively impacted my prayer life. Because I’m so focused on prayer during this mega-hard season, I wanted to vulnerably talk about some things I’m learning, things I’m still struggling with, and things I’d love to share to hopefully help strengthen your prayer life, too. ♥️ As Mark Batterson says in his book, Draw the Circle: The 40 Day Prayer Challenge: “If it seems like God isn’t moving in our lives, maybe it’s because we’re not moving.” Here’s a little piece of advice: work like...

You’ve likely heard me talk about being back in school and in Seminary (!!) with a group of amazing women … well, you’re in for a treat today as I chat with my seminary sister, Rebekah Lyons.💞 Today we talk about her book, Rhythms of Renewal – Trading Stress and Anxiety for a Life of Peace and Purpose. This book has been SO impactful for me through the years, and it was so fun to come to this conversation with the book in hand, knowing that it’s full of bright pink underlines, hearts, starred sections, and loads of notes in the margins. You are going to love this...

Hi friends! Today’s show is a bit different because we had a family emergency, and one of our kids is in the hospital …and will be for a week. 🥺 I had planned to interview my dear friend (podcast host, published scientist … and one of my life coaching clients!) Liz Bagwell to talk about resetting our daily habits. ☀️ BUT… since I needed to shut down my week to care for my family, Liz stepped up and asked if she could do a “takeover” instead, so we still got this week’s episode out! And GOSH, IS IT A GOOD ONE! In this episode, you’ll hear: ✨ All about your...

Your family’s health? ➡️ What’s dying for this lifestyle to continue? Today we’re talking all about ways to reset our thinking about how full our lives are and practices and rhythms to implement to create a lighter, simpler...
info_outlineToday Cayla and I talk about her first book, What Do You Really Want? – 7 Questions That Can Unlock the Answers to a Life Full of Abundance, Meaning, and Connection, and I have a feeling it will be one of the most listened-to episodes yet because there’s just so much meat in our conversation!! Working as an ER nurse, she realized she was unconsciously believing a lot of unhelpful narratives about herself that were influencing her everyday life. Being willing to do the hard work and get honest with herself, Cayla ended up quitting her 9-5 and pouring all she’s learned into women who also want to break free from these limitations. Over the years as a Jesus-loving mentor and entrepreneur coach, she has created seven questions as a framework to make an impact not only in your business…but also in your life.
You will LOVE how real Cayla is, as she vulnerably shares SO much wisdom, while giving Jesus all the glory.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why it’s important to ask the RIGHT questions (and how we know what they are!).
- What to do (and how to respond internally) when people criticize that “You’ve Changed” – but you know the change is good, healthy, and exciting!
- How defining what you truly want and taking the next best step is key to achieving your goals.
- "When you play really big with your life, it gives God a chance to show up and show off."
