Let's Be Real with Nicole Unice

On today’s episode, I get to chat with Jessica Hottle [https://www.jessicahottle.com/about/], a faith-based fitness coach, podcast host, best-selling author, and speaker with a heart for teaching women how to dismantle the lies that keep them from healing and wholeness. Her new book, Face Off with Your Feelings [https://www.jessicahottle.com/] is available now for pre-order. Today we talk about living as a reaction to past hurt versus living a life of purpose, how emotional and physical wellness are so intertwined with the spiritual, and what it actually means to make space to heal. And last but not least… you can find Jessica’s favorite lipstick here [https://cloveandhallow.com/], and that amazing hexagon timer clock here [https://www.amazon.com/Hexagon-Rotating-Minute-Preset-Countdown/dp/B07L2P9QFT/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=hexagon+timer+clock&qid=1638235080&qsid=130-4652213-8874318&sr=8-2&sres=B07L2P9QFT%2CB08HWCWY6Z%2CB07D3BFY6R%2CB092YWQCX5%2CB07X1JLVRK%2CB09B9SBSZ2%2CB0821658YN%2CB083W8BLMS%2CB07P33499R%2CB092TNN44F%2CB07PKTNYWQ%2CB079KBP8DJ%2CB07PRZ5BXS%2CB07FZXDWCB%2CB089B4G7NX%2CB07NLSX576%2CB07HGN7F58%2CB094QY5QM9%2CB07RPT4LFN%2CB07Q4761H9&srpt=TIMER].

I’m excited to introduce you to today’s guest, Karen Ehman [https://karenehman.com/about-karen/]. Karen is a Proverbs 31 Ministries [http://proverbs31.org/speakers/karen-ehman/] speaker and New York Times bestselling author. Described as profoundly practical, engagingly funny, and downright real, her passion is to help women to live their priorities and love their lives as they serve God and others. She has authored seventeen books and her latest book, When Making Others Happy is Making You Miserable: Karen Ehman (zondervan.com) [https://www.zondervan.com/p/when-making-others-happy-is-making-you-miserable/], is out now. We’re all about relationships and finding freedom in truth and honesty on Let’s Be Real, and Karen’s next book is right up that alley.

On  today’s show I chat with Joy Eggerichs Reed [https://punchlineagency.com/joy-eggerichs-reed], a great friend and founder of the speaking and literary agency called Punchline Agency [https://punchlineagency.com/] (who I’m honored to be represented by!)  An incredible communicator herself, Joy is all about getting behind people she really believes in. I get questions all the time from people who have an idea they’re passionate about, and want to know “how do I turn this into a book?!”.  I’m so happy to have a great resource to point them to in Joy’s new book called “Get to the Publishing Punchline: A Fun 30-Day Guide to Get Your Book Ready for The World [https://www.amazon.com/dp/1955051038/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=get%20to%20the%20publishing%20punchline&qid=1623160168&sr=8-1].” Today we chat about the refining process of becoming a faithful communicator in an instant gratification world, making sure you understand your why, and how Bob Barker helped Joy up her communication game. If you’re curious about the process of getting the ideas in your head out onto the page, this episode (and Joy’s book) are for you!

Today I get to chat with Lisa Whittle [https://lisawhittle.com/], who feels like a soul-sister because we’re both a little crazy and a little cynical, but also both just trying to be authentic in our relationships with God as we walk through hard things. In addition to being a friend, Lisa is someone I look up to as a mentor in the world of publishing, and I really just love her writing. Her latest book is called The Hard Good [https://lisawhittle.com/books/], about the uncomfortable process that leads us to growth, where she pulls out the big truths that she’s uncovered in her own journey. We talk about getting caught in a thought tornado of “what-ifs” (and have a mini counseling sesh about my own journey), the difference between preference and acceptance, and why we feel so entitled to God’s blessings. Lisa also shared her fav product, the Dwell app, which reads the Bible to you in a million different ways.

I am so excited to be back! I’m here with my new-but-feels-like-an-old-friend, Ashley Abercrombie [https://www.ashabercrombie.org/]. I love the way that Ashley is so well-acquainted with God’s grace, and her incisive eye to culture that she combines with a long-term perspective. She brings that heart to her newest book, Love is The Resistance: Learn to Disagree, Resolve the Conflicts You’ve Been Avoiding and Create Real Change [https://www.ashabercrombie.org/book]. It’s worth the read, y’all.
