Failure's Part In Your Significance

Failure is an inseperable part of your significance. The more quickly you accept this and stop fighting it but embracing it the more significant you will become. Isn't it actually endearing when you meet someone who isn't afraid of failure? You love them more and their influence grows quickly and strong. When a little one learns how to tie their shoes it requires failure to become a success. That success earns them respect, praise, admiration-ingredients in the recipe for significance. Listen in as Darlene shares how your failure is necesarily related to your signifance .

106. Love Without Bounds

In today’s deeply moving episode of You Are Significant, I sit down with Sarah Walston—a Christian coach, podcaster, and speaker who is passionate about helping moms not just survive, but truly thrive through Jesus. Sarah shares her powerful story of walking through trauma at a young age, facing an unexpected pregnancy, and wrestling with feelings of shame, anger, and disconnection from God. In a season where she felt completely disqualified and insignificant, she found herself in a place many women silently live—loving deeply, yet hurting deeply at the same time. But what she discovered will encourage your heart: You don’t have to force the fruit… you just have to stay rooted. In this conversation, we talk about: * What to do when life doesn’t turn out the way you planned * How God gently grows love, joy, and peace in the middle of pain * The reality of struggling with your faith—and finding your way back * Encouragement for moms raising children in a broken world * How to truly support someone walking through a hard season This episode is for the woman who feels overwhelmed, unseen, or stuck in a season she didn’t choose. Friend, if you’ve ever wondered if your story still matters… this is your reminder: You are significant—not because your life is perfect, but because God is still working in you.

This year, we’re focusing on the Fruit of the Spirit… and today, we’re talking about something that has brought me so much JOY and that's birthdays. Birthdays can be a source of joy if you choose to grow your joy around your birthday. As I celebrate my birthday week, I found myself reflecting on some of my favorite memories—from childhood birthdays to simple, meaningful moments that have stayed with me over the years. And it got me thinking… We may not remember everything. Some seasons feel like a blur. But we can choose what we hold onto. In this episode, I’m sharing a few of my favorite birthday memories—and how choosing to remember the good ones is a powerful way to walk in joy and live a life of significance. We’ll talk about: * Why joy is a choice, not just a feeling * How reflecting on good memories can shift your perspective * Celebrating your life and your age as a gift from God Joy is one of the Fruit of the Spirit—and it’s available to you right now, no matter your season. Whether your birthdays have been big and beautiful or simple and quiet, there is always something to treasure. Friend, your life is significant and when you choose joy you choose to remember those significant moments and feel so grateful.

104. Love In Unexpected Places

What if love is already in your life, just not in the way you expected it? This episode will stay with you long after you listen. In this deeply moving conversation, my guest, Brenda Ritchson, shares a life that started off normal… very normal. But as life often does, it took unexpected twists and turns. She was diagnosed with a condition that resolves itself for many—but not for Brenda. It became just the beginning of ongoing health challenges and ultimately 22 surgeries. She shares about a kind of love that didn’t come from where most young women expect—but instead from the kindness and invitation of her brother. And as life continues to unfold, her journey takes another turn. Her mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and Brenda—after a career in IT she loved—steps away to care for her. This conversation is a glimpse into love that shows up in unexpected places… through family, through sacrifice, and through seasons we never would have chosen, but God... ✨ In this episode, you’ll discover: * How love shows up in unexpected places * Purpose beyond what you planned * Beauty in hard seasons * The power of forgiveness Connect with Darlene: * Email: HelloDarleneLee@gmail.com * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/199xNVUahY/?mibextid=wwXIfr * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedarlenelee * TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedarlenelee * YouTube: https://youtube.com/@youaresignificant1 * Linktree: https://linktr.ee/darlenelee
