Podcast + Articles

I am so excited for you guys to listen to today's podcast interview with Valerie Thompson. She is full of encouragement for busy moms and gives easy, practical advice for self-care in the midst of taking care of our families. 

Valerie's 3 Steps Summary:

- Breathwork

- Journaling

- Meditation

This week we explore the fourth candle of Advent, peace, by looking at the thoughts of Mary as she stepped into her calling with purpose. We are all unworthy to receive God’s blessings based upon our own efforts. However, the Holy Spirit draws our barren souls to holiness.

The new year is almost upon us. While this week can be a time of both reflection and goal setting, we want to encourage you to seek REST. Slow down. Have a moment of silence. Don't try to start your to-do list quite yet. In today's episode, we walk you through our Ready for a Reset Worksheet (download it for free on our website) and we also share Valerie Thompson's interview about the importance of journaling, meditation, and breathwork. Allow this final week of the year to be a time of recovery and reset your heart, mind, and soul so you can start the new year fresh and ready.

If you haven't signed up for our New Year's Reset Session yet, visit our website today to reserve your spot! It will be on January 7 from 9-12 pm in Dothan, Al. Valerie will lead us in a mindset and movement activity to help us reset ourselves for the upcoming year!

In today's podcast, I am delighted to share my interview with Laura Loewen, my new friend from Flint, Michigan. I "met" Laura through Instagram and I wish we lived closer to have more fun conversations about things like 90's rap dance moves (just you wait!). In our discussion, we talk about ways to keep the Christmas season simple and special. Laura shares what Advent means to her and how her church prepares for the busy holiday season by #connectionnotperfection. I really think you guys are going to love today's interview!

What is Advent, exactly?

We celebrate it every year, but to some it just means a time of busyness, stress, and frantic holiday preparations. That is quite the opposite of what Advent means. The word “Advent” in ancient Latin means “arrival.” It’s a time to prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus—in the quiet way Jesus came, as a lowly baby, in a small stable in the middle of nowhere. Advent is all about making room—for King Jesus, what His birth meant, and what started the greatest Redemption story of all.

How we spend our time is determined by what influences us and what distracts us. The simple truth is we can't do it all, something always has to give. But, we can find time in our busy schedules to take care of ourselves, because self-care is never selfish.
