Younger Us Would Never But Here We Are Celebrating an Arrest-Aversary!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2325791/fan_mail/new] Younger us would not believe older us. From the things we worried about, to the things we no longer care about, to the confidence we've gained through life, faith, motherhood and a whole lot of trial and error, we're reflecting on how much we've changed and why that's actually something worth celebrating. Along the way, we compare younger mom energy to seasoned mom confidence, discuss how parenting changes as our kids get older and somehow end up commemorating the anniversary of an arrest. Don't worry, it's far more funny than serious and honestly one of those stories you have to hear to believe. We're sharing stories, laughs and a few surprising realizations about growing older, letting go of expectations and embracing the version of ourselves God has shaped through every season. Because maybe growth isn't becoming someone new. Maybe it's finally becoming who you were always meant to be.

Assessed, Blessed and In Some Areas Still a Mess

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2325791/fan_mail/new] We retook spiritual gifts quizzes this week and let’s just say… some of the results were expected and some really caught us by surprise. This episode turned into a very honest conversation about how God wires people differently, how our gifts can shift through different seasons of life and whether gifts get stronger, buried or even quieter when we stop using them. We talk leadership, discernment, burnout, emotional capacity and why apparently neither of us received the gift of patience. Also, some of you have the gift of hospitality and we’d just like to say thank you for your service because we both are going to need 24 hours before you drop by our homes! This is the quiz we took! Take it and tell us what your results are! https://giftstest.com/test

Potential Without a Plan? How to Unlock What’s Next with Life Coach, Lori Stansbury

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2325791/fan_mail/new] This week we invited life coach Lori Stansbury from Revealing Potential Coaching to join us for a conversation that honestly felt like a deep exhale for women in our stage of life. Why do men seem to get a socially accepted “midlife crisis,” while women are expected to quietly keep everyone else’s lives running? What happens when you start feeling restless, pulled toward something new, or ready to rediscover parts of yourself that got buried under responsibility, survival mode and taking care of everyone else? We talked about the women who know exactly what dream they want to chase and the women who just know they cannot stay where they are forever. Lori shares wisdom on unlocking new potential, recognizing what may be stirring beneath the surface and giving yourself permission to move with purpose. Also, somehow we managed to keep the tangents mostly under control and only had one inappropriate comment, which honestly proves how much we loved this conversation and how badly we already want Lori back. We have a feeling you are going to love her as much as we do.

Welcome to the Group Chat: What’s said here stays here

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2325791/fan_mail/new] This one’s for the girls. Circle of trust only. What’s said here stays here. This episode feels like jumping into a late night bestie chat mid conversation. Kacie wanted to talk about S E X. Steph boycotted… and somehow made a joke that derailed us even worse. From there, it’s weight loss updates, distractions, disappointments, and absolutely no ability to stay on track. We love you. We’re so glad Jesus loves us… because this is definitely an earbuds in or alone in your car kind of episode. It’s unfiltered, a little off the rails, and very much a “you had to be there” kind of episode.

My Kid Is Old Enough to Do What?!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2325791/fan_mail/new] We went back to a church we’ve visited before and this time? No notes. No complaints. Just… really, really good.  Because life has these transitions, some you expect, some you don’t, and even when you know they’re coming… you still don’t feel ready. Steph is stepping into one of those moments right now. An engagement on the horizon, families about to meet for the first time, and all the emotions that come with realizing your kid is building a life of their own. We talk nerves, anticipation, and yes, a few wedding nightmare stories… because obviously. But underneath all of it is this truth we keep coming back to: Life doesn’t wait for us to feel ready.
