The Woman Amidst

Juggling Motherhood + Work with Karen Mitchell - Ep 26

In this episode, I get to talk to Karen Mitchell of Fortitude + Finn and Elan Photographie Studio. Karen is a mom of two and talks with me on how she balances working and pursuing career + creative outlets. I loved this conversation so much with Karen + believe whether you are working or a full time homemaker - she has so much goodness to offer you as well!

30 + Single - Turning a Desperate Heart into a Dependent One - Ep 25

In this episode, I got to bring one of my closest friends, Anna Graham (not to be confused with Banana Gram, Enneagram, or just anagram), to the podcast to discuss a super vulnerable topic: singleness. Seasons of waiting are hard. That is just the truth. Hard walking through them and difficult knowing how to be a friend to someone in them but Anna gives us some beautiful insight into how she has found a contentment with her desires. And she has learned that hoping for something is so different than putting your hope IN something. And in that balance, contentment in this tricky season can be found.  So thankful to Anna for coming on her and her heart + thankful for you for tuning in! (Oh, and don't worry - I figured out the guy I was thinking about was Donald Miller).  Rev 19:10 "For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Psalm 27: 13-14 "I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Isaiah 26

Facing Fears + Enjoying God - (Season 3 Intro) - Ep 24

Fear is a very really thing for all of us. And in this episode, I talk a bit about my own experiences with fear - particularly looking at fear of man or what others think and fear of taking steps and leaps toward what feels right. While all fear isn't bad, I have learned a lot about how fear can be something we can press into instead of seeing it as something to run from.  Here you will find some my own recent experiences with fear and moving forward despite them. And some tangible ways I like to do that.  As always, thanks for being here!  - Katie Rae  Links: That Sounds Fun Podcast + Book by Annie Downs - https://www.anniefdowns.com/podcasts/ [https://www.anniefdowns.com/podcasts/] Hinds Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard - https://a.co/d/89qk0Ok [https://a.co/d/89qk0Ok]

When Life Pivots with Bailey Meyne - Ep 23

In episode 23, Bailey Meyne and I talk all about what happens when we have goals + desires that get redirected. Do we give up? Do we keep going? We looked at our own obstacles we have come across and how we have continued to sit in the discomfort of the middle, the waiting, the redirecting, the PIVOTING, as we continue to move forward to what we feel called to. We laugh a lot in this episode and felt like we went deep into some hard places we have both walked through as we learn to push through, submit and move forward despite rejection, closed doors, and disappointments. Thanks for tuning in!

Positivity Amidst Hardship with Diana Hansen - Ep 22

In this episode I got to talk to Diana Hansen - author, personal trainer, and influencer about traveling in Europe, living in Italy, and the crazy place they are headed next! BUT the biggest part of this conversation was just talking all about positivity during big changes and hard circumstances - which for both of us has been really crucial. We both have had a more difficult last season than we expected, despite living out some dreams living in Australia and Italy. But in the midst of those, we talked about some of the tangible ways we have been fighting for positivity during those changes so we can soak up where we are at and all the good that may be in the middle of hard time!  Hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!  Diana Podcast Episode 1: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-woman-amidst/id1518698083?i=100047961119 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-woman-amidst/id1518698083?i=1000479611190] Brookes episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-woman-amidst/id1518698083?i=1000558958225 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-woman-amidst/id1518698083?i=1000558958225] Skinny Confidential Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-skinny-confidential-him-her-podcast/id1093028505
