165 | Make A Bigger Impact With Your Story

WITH ALEX STREET

“Either my new audience won’t accept me, my old audience will reject me.””

— Alex Street

About This Episode:

Are you ready to make a bigger impact with your story? I know too many women who aren't making the impact they truly desire because they feel insecure and afraid to reveal the truth about who they are and what they've gone through. I've been there. Today on the podcast we're starting our Courage Creator Series and the very first guest is my good friend and Story Coach, Alex Street.

We're pulling back the curtain on why most online creators are afraid to tell their story, what benefits they would have if they felt confident to share their own transformation with their audience.

164 | You Are Enough

WITH JONATHAN PUDDLE

“Can we lean into the energies and the presence of all those parts of ourselves and say you are welcome, you belong, I need you, I will listen to you, you each have different kinds of wisdom to teach me. ”

— Jonathan Puddle

About This Episode:

What would your life look like if you took an entire year to discover your inner greatness? The moment Jonathan said that he immediately got my attention. Because sadly too often we don't ever take time to see the value in who we are let alone take an entire year to do the work that will help heal our body, soul and spirit from past trauma.

This week I'm sitting down with my friend Jonathan Puddle. Jonathan is no stranger to the online world. He's the host of a podcast aptly called, The Puddcast and he is also the author of a brand new book entitled 'You Are Enough'.

In this episode, we talk about self-love, inner healing, and what it really takes to move through spiritual reformation (or deconstruction as I like to call it). Jonathan shares openly and honestly about his journey with mental health and how when he started to experience healing - his impact became greater and he was able to share with more ease and flow.

162 | Why It's Never Too Late To Start Over And Become Who You Want To Be

WITH ANDREA CRISP

“That’s the crazy thing about dreams — sometimes they don’t turn out like you plan. ”

— Andrea Crisp

About This Episode:

Do you ever feel like you're too good at what you do to enlist the help of others?

In this episode, we're talking about why going it alone never works, and being independent is way overrated. I'll be sharing what I've personally learned about asking for help and why I almost didn't ask when I needed it the most.

You've got so much to offer the world, and playing small will not fulfill your purpose. It will only make you feel less than and unworthy of what you have to give -- which is your gift, your services, and your message. Truth be told -- You can be good, but you can also be GREAT!

160 | The Art of Letting Go

WITH ANDREA CRISP

“I needed to realize that I wasn’t in control of my life. I had to learn that I trying to manipulate things for my own safety and security and that was we no longer serving me. The facade of perfectionism that I had been hiding behind had to come down. And my perception of  what other people thought of me. ”

— Andrea Crisp

About This Episode:

Have you ever found yourself in a place in life where it seems you're bumping against obstacle after obstacle? You wonder if it's something you're doing or not doing. But have you ever considered that it might be time to release what you've been holding onto -- whether that is a job, a dream, or a relationship?

In this episode, we're going to be talking about the art of letting go, when it's time and how to make the decision to finally detach from the dream.

1. Starting with listening to your inner guidance system.

2. Training yourself to stop overthinking.

3. And doing the hard thing.

WITH DR. DIANE LANGBERG, PHD

“Anybody who holds power whether it is a parent, a teacher, a therapist, a doctor, a pastor — that power has to be full of love and full of truth with the purpose of being used with vulnerable people to bless them in the name of Jesus. Which is not just a verbal thing, it’s a character thing. ”

158 | Why We Silence Women Who Tell The Truth

WITH TIFFANY BLUHM

“We don’t get to dominate anyone else’s time, physical space or body without their consent.”

— Tiffany Bluhm

About This Episode:

When we think of speaking up on behalf of women so often there is a fear associated to how it might impact our lives.

Did you know that 90% of people will only ever be a bystander to some sort of impropriety which means that we need to examine our role and the complicity when we find out a woman has been abused physically, emotionally or spiritually?

The big question is how do we ensure the safety and equity of women in the workplace and in places of worship?

Today on the podcast I am chatting with Tiffany Bluhm, the author of Prey Tell  -- Why we silence women who tell the truth and how everyone can speak up.

We'll be talking about why women stay silent, what is the role of the gatekeeper, how we're benefiting from broken systems, and what it takes to become an ally.

Tiffany Bluhm is the author of Prey Tell: Why We Silence Women Who Tell the Truth and How Everyone Can Speak Up. She is co-host of the podcast Why Tho and speaks around the world. Her work has been featured on the YouVersion Bible app, Publisher's Weekly, Sojourners, and the Jenny McCarthy Show.
