Why does it take some life event to shift our belief system and shake us a bit? I don’t know..it’s too bad, but we can be so thankful for those things that mark us and move us...keep us moving forward in life..not becoming stagnant in our beliefs but allowing us to question and grow. Is that true for you? Can you see that hard things invite you to grow?
Our guest today is Kim Smith, author of the workbook series, Unbelievable Freedom, and her latest memoir, Enjoy Your Life. She bravely shares her journey to fulfilling her grandmother’s gentle command to enjoy your life. What an amazing charge to receive.
Kim and I connected during a business coaching program and it just felt like we aligned more and more over the past year.
Even still I wasn’t expecting this. Holy Spirit showed up and floored us both.
So much of who God is is generous making us feel safe and held. Everything else stems from that place. It is a basic human need.
Sometimes we can look back and see what it was that gave us that feeling or introduced us to love. We know it. It resonates because we innately know there is more to life than what we can see.
Like when we close our eyes to blow out a candle and make a wish. We are exercising faith that there is beyond what is visible.
Today Kim shares how that love changed her and invited her to more. All of that blossomed into an amazing journey of relationships and freedom.

Angie Hyche, author of UnHoly Mess: What the Bible says about Clutter, bravely shares how an unexpected detour in her life allowed her to discover God in a more personal way. She embarked on a journey of following her passion and learning to worship God through her purpose. I love how she shares the feeling of contentment that comes with this discovery and how fulfilling it is to serve others as a professional organizer.
In her book, Angie generously gives us tools and tips for decluttering our home, our mind, and our schedule, brilliantly combining the spiritual component with the physical components. This episode is packed with ways to help simplify your life and make space for what really matters to you.
Go check her out!!! Definitely grab a copy of the book too!

Shauna Bowen is our brave guest today. She tells her story with humor and genuine love for others. I’m captivated by the concept in her story that God was always there, but completely respect when she asks why didn’t he save me? It’s a question many have asked. It is a question worth pursuing and though there may never be a clear answer, there is such beauty and grace when one is able to tell their story and create life with it. When Shauna looks back through her life she can see how God provided for her and pursued her, showing her the way to being embraced by Love. When Shauna shares how God poured true love in washing away addiction and fear, I felt like I met Him for the first time all over again. She brought Him so close with her honest telling of how He completely breaks her free from addiction. Her journey is extremely difficult filled with so much abuse, such devastation and loss. She shares about choosing adoption, the suicide of her parents, marriage, parenting, but ultimately restoration. Beautiful restoration of so many broken things.
She says she was always a good runner..running from her problems, but I hope you’ll join me in seeing that she has always been running toward Love and Love crashed into her in wild pursuit. God held her close and healed her from severe wounds, showing her the way to forgive and restore.
She opened up her heart to God and let Him make her new. Her voice radiates with love and she longs to use her life for beauty. I hold her story so close and completely cherish it.
She ends our segment by talking about anger over a ham sandwich and self tanner! She has me rolling!

To be honest, I had a whole thing written out and it disappeared and now I can’t think of anything to say! Where did it go? What is wrong with my brain? Seriously I don’t get it and felt so strongly about it 5 min ago. True story.
Listen, here’s the tea, knowing your identity is key. Knowing who you are and why you are and where you are going eliminates the need for striving and people pleasing and worry. More than anything, God's love covering your life and His voice speaking into your story allows you to step into the safest and most confident space. You are designed to walk with God knowing Him closely.
Is it God’s intention that we strive and try so hard? What if walking in our identity could be simple and full of rest? If you are like me we can spend a lot of energy creating a life we want..when the life we want is found in rest. It is found in our relationship with the Father and being united in Love. In today’s episode we get to talk about how to stop clinging so tightly to who we want to be or who we think we are supposed to be and instead letting our identity fill in as we step toward curiosity and questions and wonder. Take that stuff straight to him. He’s the real deal and is ready for it all.

Being a mom, facing the unexpected, navigating new territory, advocating for her life and her daughter's life, and recognizing grief...Jaime shares how being multifaceted has not only equipped her but created a beautiful life that allows her to pour into others. Not a life she expected or planned for but one she now realizes she wouldn't trade because it is filled with so many gifts. Living with Type 1 Diabetes and raising a daughter with a heart condition, as well as a prosthetic leg, has taught Jaime to keep getting up, keep pushing, and never say never! She advocates with such grace and welcomes all to the table. It was such a gift to have her at mine. I am grateful.
