“Don’t wrap your identity up in anything because change is great and that’s part of the adventure. If you’re going to pursue a dream, chances are it’s going to take you a bit to figure out what that looks like.”
— Kathleen Van Engen
 

About This Episode:

So often in life, we as women can feel like we are being defined by the roles that we play, so we begin to search for our true identity. In this episode, I’m talking with my friend and director of Tattered Tiaras about the struggles we face as women to be uniquely who have been created to be. In this candid conversation, Kathleen shares her battle with mental illness following the birth of her second son and how that was the catalyst for her becoming an advocate for women suffering from mental health issues. We also talk about the challenge women face in leadership and trap that we can easily fall into when we look for our identity in what we do instead of who we are. 

Kathleen Van Engen is the executive director of the teenage girl’s organization, Tattered Tiaras. Kathleen is passionate about the advancement of young girls in positions of leadership and influence. Tattered Tiaras offers support for teen girls in the areas of identity, mental health, and leadership. As a soon to be the mom of ironically, 3 boys, Kathleen has been navigating the balance of several important roles; wife, mom, and entrepreneur.

“Courage can only help you flourish if you are ridding yourself of ego or negative self-talk that would tell you that you can’t do it. ”
— Tania Kolesnik
 

About This Episode:

Our most innovative ideas are often born in times of adversity. During seasons in life when we feel that everything is chaotic and out of control. It’s only when we’ve come to the end of ourselves that we’re able to let go and surrender to the process. This year (2020) has been fraught with uncertainty and chaos. Courage finds you when you’re in the depths on your worst day.

In November 2017 we released EP 017 Courage Found Me With Tania Kolesnik. We’ve decided that the message is timely for today and we wanted to re-release the episode in light of our current circumstances. This is when we need courage most. 

Tania Kolesnik proudly lives in Prince Edward County, Ontario where she un-schools her two children, Henri & Magnolia. Tania has been blogging for just over 9 years & her feed is full of her strong messages highlighting the importance of mental health, body positivity & all-around women’s empowerment.

With a zest for self-love & abundant personal growth, Tania is a unique voice who doesn’t shy away from embracing challenges while applying what she’s learned to be fearless in her creative endeavors. She, alongside her husband Dustin, are true entrepreneurs who dare to live life unconventionally with their family, gratitude & a push to inspire others at the core of what they do. They’re currently working hard to expand their business with many new projects in the work & are looking forward to seeing what the next few years have in store for their family.

115 | A New Vision For Sex, Desire and Intimacy

WITH KAT HARRIS

 
1.png
“Singleness has given me time to look back and see who am I becoming, what am I about, where am I called to and how am I stepping into that now.”
— Kat Harris
 

About Episode

Today on the podcast we’re talking about love, being known, and the yearning we have to be intimate with someone. In a culture of instant gratification, sex is seen as a way for our personal desires to be fulfilled. But what if we start to look at relationships and physical intimacy in a new way. I’m joined by educator, podcaster, and founder of The Refined Woman, Kat Harris and we’re talking all about sex. 

In full disclosure this is a conversation between two single women sharing their experience and viewpoints. We're not experts, just real people sharing our thoughts on sex before marriage, abstinence, what the bible says about sex, and some of the damage that has been done through the purity culture. Whether you are single or married, this is a conversation you do not want to miss. 

Kat Harris is an online educator, speaker, author, and photographer. Her vision is to equip and empower women with practical tools to walk in their worth and navigate their lives grounded in freedom, vision, and wholeness.

We’re all feeling the strain of what is happening in the world due to COVID-19. Sometimes it feels like a loss, and other times like opportunity. Both can co-exist within the same framework. You may be doing some deep soul searching, and you may be wondering where God is in all of this.

107 | Accepting This Present Moment

WITH BRADY TOOPS

 
bradytoops.png
“We are in the space in which all of life happens and to hold on to any one moment or any one feeling or any one thought causes suffering but to try to learn how to be open to be the space to which all of life can be experienced is the goal, and how do we stay open. ”
— Brady Toops
 

About Episode:

Learning to accept the present moment becomes the only antidote to pain and loss. Maybe you find yourself questioning your own faith, understanding of God, the divine. Perhaps you’ve left a community of believers, or perhaps you’ve never even been to a church in your life but you consider yourself a very spiritual person. I’d like to invite you into this conversation with Brady Toops as we explore spirituality and faith means to us on an individual level. 

In this episode, we talk about Brady’s addiction to success, how his deconstruction of faith altered the way he views the world and spirituality. We talk about why we resist letting go, and why pain is inevitable. 

"The pain of deconstruction, the drying up of monetary means forces us into a new place, that is life helping us grow, evolve and change. God is too kind to let us stay in the small place that we were in.” Brady Toops. 

Brady Toops is a singer-songwriter based out of Nashville, TN. Brady’s distinct and soulful sound garnered national acclaim. He appeared on Season 11 of ABC’s hit reality TV show, ’The Bachelorette’. Brady is the host of The Unravel, a podcast designed to both challenge and help you live more inspired. The Unravel explores spirituality and examines the deep questions of life.
