Welcome back to the Stripped Away podcast. In this episode, I interview my son Ethan as he shares his 2,100-mile cross-country journey on his motorcycle. In this candid conversation between mother and son, we talk about his experience and how it has brought tremendous change to his heart and mind. Sometimes, the greatest change happens when we step outside our normal life and leave behind the distractions and noise. Enjoy this journey with me as we reconnect to the beauty all around us!

I talk with my friend Lisa Butler, who is a counselor and a women’s recovery leader. Join us as we invite you into a bit of understanding about this valuable process and the way it can provide accountability and healing to those of us who struggle with addictive behaviors. In this process, we partner with others in a safe community and walkout specific steps to deal effectively with our Hurts, Habits and Hangups. The recovery process can be one of the most beneficial steps to becoming the healthiest version of yourself. Thanks for listening and I’m excited to continue this journey with you all.

Episode 9- Maxx Dickenson

It really is simple: In this episode, I interview my son Maxx as he shares the importance of childlike faith and intentional kindness. As we age, we tend to over overcomplicate the gospel and sharing our faith. Take a listen as we break down the meaningful approach of simply taking a few minutes to see and notice those around us. The cost is small but the impact can be life changing. We never know what a kind word or smile might do to change another persons life forever.
