3986 Where Do I Run First?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When life gets messy — and let’s be honest, it always does — both parents and kids face the terrifying question: “Where do I run first?” It’s not just about geography; it’s about the who and what that can catch us when we’re falling apart under overwhelm and struggle. If parents don’t provide a safe fallback, kids often sprint toward friends, teachers, coaches, or romantic interests — places that might get them, or might just judge and reject them. This question strips parenting to its core responsibility: Are we raising kids who know our love...

3985 Wear Your Smile
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life isn’t a constant stream of roses and rainbows. More often, it’s weeds choking the garden and storms darkening the sky. But from those weeds and storms come blooms and skies painted with the kind of beauty you cannot fake or force. It's no wonder it's hard to wear your smile. Maybe you're struggling to smile today? I get it. Sometimes smiling feels like a mask, like pretending everything’s okay when inside you’re falling apart. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .

You don’t have to like where you are. Maybe your life feels stuck in a loop you didn’t sign up for. Maybe your step feels heavy or your spirit’s been whispering for a shift you haven’t dared to make.

You get to set the tempo of your life—from what you hold onto to what you courageously let go. This is the wellspring of real well-being: the space inside where choice lives. It’s not about pretending you’re perfect or faking a smile....

3982 The Walls of Comparison
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
We build walls around ourselves, thinking they’re shields—to keep others out, to guard our weaknesses and doubts. But what happens when walls don't protect you, the walls of comparison that keep you locked in? When a dream or goal demands stepping outside your comfort zone, you face more than fear or uncertainty. You face the trap of comparison.

3981 Seek the Lord
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too much of our lives are spent running our own race—scaling mountains, crossing rugged terrains we've never faced before—chasing after answers and strength as if we must do it all alone.

What if the breakthrough isn’t found in our striving or in the distant horizon? What if the source of hope and peace is much closer than we realize?

3979 How to Win Your Parenting Conversations
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Parenting isn’t about having the loudest voice in the room or the last word every time. It’s about precision, strategy, and understanding how every move impacts the next. You may be the expert, but be careful how you share the wisdom. Whether you want to admit it or not, you can learn how to win your parenting conversations better. In honor of the Olympics, I want you to think of your parenting conversations like the sport of Curling—where every stone you throw changes the "game," and success isn’t guaranteed just because you have the advantage.

3978 Gain a Heart of Wisdom
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In the rush of modern life, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. So much of our energy flows toward chasing someone else’s dream, trying to fit into others’ expectations, or simply surviving the relentless pace of day-to-day routines. Consider the timeless words from Psalm 90:12 ~ “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” What does it mean to number our days? It’s not some grim countdown or morbid fixation. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It’s an invitation to live each day with...
info_outlineWhen it comes to healthy living, how much do you really want it? From traveling to life's challenges to unexplainable situations, who wants to do anything different but hang out in the rhythm of comfort?
And then you wonder why.
Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co
You know-- the allure of comfort can be irresistibly tempting. Whether it's indulging in familiar foods, staying within our routine, or avoiding challenges that push us out of our cozy bubble, the rhythm of comfort often dictates our choices.
But is this reliance on comfort hindering our pursuit of a healthier lifestyle?
Because the rhythm of comfort is something that does just that-- it provides comfort when nothing else does.
Why do you think you eat certain things or drink certain liquids? Most of it comes from comfort.
"Comfort is like a warm blanket on a cold night—it soothes us and provides a sense of security. However, true transformation lies beyond the confines of our comfort zone." ~ Kristianne Wargo
The K.I.S.S. ~ Wrap yourself up in the blanket of change!
To break free from the seductive grasp of comfort, consider these three actionable steps:
1. Embrace Change: Stepping out of your comfort zone often means embracing change, no matter how daunting it may seem. Instead of sticking to the same workout routine, challenge yourself to try a new fitness class or outdoor activity.
For instance, swapping your morning jog for a pilates session can introduce a fresh element of excitement and wellness into your routine.
"Change is the catalyst for growth. Embrace it, and watch yourself bloom." ~ Kristianne Wargo
2. Cultivate Mindful Eating Habits: Many of our food choices are driven by comfort, seeking solace in familiar flavors and textures. To break free from this cycle, practice mindful eating.
Take a moment to savor each bite, paying attention to the colors, tastes, and textures of your meal. By being present during meals, you can cultivate a healthier relationship with food and make conscious choices that nourish your body.
"Food is not just fuel—it's a reflection of how we care for ourselves." ~ Kristianne Wargo
3. Seek Support and Accountability: Stepping out of your comfort zone can be challenging, but having a support system can make all the difference.
Surround yourself with friends, family, or a coach who can encourage and hold you accountable on your wellness journey. By sharing your goals and progress with others, you'll create a network of support that motivates you to strive for better.
"Together, we are stronger. Lean on your tribe and let them uplift and guide you." ~ Kristianne Wargo
As you navigate the delicate balance between comfort and growth, remember that transformation begins when you dare to step outside your comfort zone.
"One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo
Embrace change, cultivate mindful habits, and seek support to propel yourself towards a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle.
"True growth lies in the discomfort of change. Embrace it, and watch yourself thrive." ~ Kristianne Wargo
When you are ready to escape the rhythm of comfort, that's when you reflect the comfort of change." ~ Kristianne Wargo
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
