Learning to Set Boundaries

Learning to Set Boundaries
Today, I talk about boundaries and share more of my story. During the events that ultimately led to this podcast (which I’ve talked about in previous episodes), I learned a lot about boundaries. Before that time, I didn’t really know what boundaries were. I was never taught about boundaries in any aspect of my life, and it wasn’t until I was in my 40s and experiencing one of the darkest places in my life that I learned about boundaries.

The Bad Stuff is Easier to Believe
Do you ever find yourself more easily believing the bad things that have possibly been said about or told to you, rather than the good things that God's Word tells us? Sometimes, it's the bad stuff that's easier to believe. In this episode, I share a little more about my story, in hopes of encouraging and inspiring you to believe the good things of who you are and who God created you to be!

State Your Why

State Your Why
Today, I’m jumping right into our topic and talking about stating our why. Think about why it is that we want to do whatever it is that we want to do. Our why is not our reason, and we need to understand that stating our why is important to help keep us motivated. It leads us to our specific goals. It’s what gets us there. It's what gets us up in the morning and what keeps us awake at night. It doesn’t lay the process of getting there out for us, but it actually helps us vision the end result in the here and now.

Ask A lot of Questions

Ask A lot of Questions
When we are contemplating something new, it is wise to find someone who is already doing it and ask them a lot of questions. Asking others who are already successful in doing what we want to do helps us gain knowledge. They can pass on wisdom and experiences that we may not have ever considered.

Homeschooling: Relax. Take a Break. Breath!

Homeschooling: Relax. Take a Break. Breath!
There are times when we need to relax, take a breath, and breathe, and the start of a homeschooling journey is definitely one of those times. One of the many things that I have learned during my time homeschooling is that staying calm usually helps in every situation. The more calm we approach our homeschooling journey, the easier, more enjoyable, and more rewarding it is going to be for everyone. For full transcripts and show notes, go to teaoflifepodcast.com.

You Are Enough
Today, I want to encourage you that you are enough. There's this idea going around that says that we are not enough, and I feel like I am here to tell you today that you are enough and that having self-worth is not wrong. In fact, it is how Jesus sees us. For full transcripts, visit teaoflifepodcast.com. Follow me on Facebook and Instagram @teaoflifepodcast

From the Vault - School is Not That Important

From the Vault - School is Not That Important
Today, I pull pull an ever-relevant episode from the vault. In this episode, my former co-host and I talk about why school is not THAT important. The pressures for good grades and high end of year test scores contribute to rising depression, cutting, and suicide rates among middle and high schoolers. This could be related to the feeling of not measuring up among peers or the pressures that parents, teachers, and professors put on their students. What matters is recognizing these stressors in your child’s life and helping them navigate through them or not allowing them in your child’s life at all. Your relationship with your child is more important than school or any test scores, and we share why we believe that.

Change and Rebellion
In today's episode, I talk about a time when God asked me to do something really hard, and I rebelled. In the end, I ended up submitting to His will, even though it wasn't easy.

Fear

Fear
We are currently in a state of shutdown due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, and a lot of you are fearful. Fear is paralyzing. There is no preparation in fear. Fear doesn’t allow you to think properly or logically. Fear drives you to think about every possible scenario that could happen, or in your mind, will happen and doesn’t allow you to think logically about how things will actually and ultimately turn out. There is truth and there are lies. Sometimes, it’s hard to distinguish between the two.

For some, we may have been told that we don't fit in, or maybe we have felt or currently feel that we don’t fit in; that we don't measure up; that we are different than those around us. We may feel different. We may think differently, look different, or dress differently. We are constantly wondering where we fit in. If you have ever felt this way or are currently feeling this way, today, I talk to you. I let you know that you are not alone, and I talk about how to begin to see change.
