  • Sherry Hoppen's Journey from Addiction to Redemption
    Sep 9 2024

    Send us a text

    Welcome back Sherry Hoppen, as she shares her ongoing journey in "Sober Cycle: Pedaling Through Recovery One Day at a Time." Sherry shares her story about her past experience with experiencing and eventually overcoming alcohol addiction. Her honest memoir helps everyone understand the challenges of dealing with addiction as an individual and as a family. Her redemptive story encourages her readers to persevere, trust, and to give themselves grace as they face their illness.

    Her story is one of resilience and a stark reminder of how addiction can insidiously take over our lives, often normalized by society's acceptance of alcohol. Her redemptive story demonstrates God's faithfulness, and the power of love and support of family and friends.

    Today, Sherry and her husband Craig are helping others by opening a specialized recovery facility for women. It is a testament of their renewed purpose and service, and the idea that everyone deserves a second chance. It's an exploration of the profound impact that grace, community, and faith can have on healing, not just for the individual, but for families and the wider community. Sherry's message is clear: recovery is a path best walked together.

    Connect with Sherry, order her book and listen to her podcast for more insight and encouragement.

  • Embracing the Courage of Caregiving Mothers with Jessica Patay
    Aug 26 2024

    Send us a text

    Have you ever witnessed the sheer resilience of a mother caring for a child with disabilities? Jessica Patay, the founder of We Are Brave Together and author of the new book, "Becoming Brave Together" joins us for a second episode. Jessica's life is a testament to the power of community and the strength found in supporting each other. Her new book is a compilation of personal stories written by mothers who are the primary caregivers for their children who have some sort of mental or physical disability. Their stories are beautiful, inspiring, and eye-opening as we understand the hearts of mothers who perform extraordinary acts of caregiving every day, often without recognition.

    We navigate the often overlooked necessity for mothers to refill their own cups, so they can continue to pour into the lives of their loved ones. Jessica opens up about practical strategies to maintain one's well-being amidst the storms of caregiving, and how the simple yet profound acts of a supportive community can lift the spirits of these devoted mothers. Her stories inspire us to extend our hands in support and to recognize the immeasurable value of the caregiving role in our society.

  • From Coupon Blogger to Business CEO: Laurie Hise of PassionatePennyPincher.com
    Aug 12 2024

    Send us a text

    Ever wondered how a love for coupons could blossom into a wildly popular website with millions of loyal fans? Laurie Hise, the savvy CEO behind passionatepennypincher.com, joins us to share her remarkable transformation from a modest coupon blogger into a business leader who helps millions of people save money every day.

    I met Laurie 14 years ago at a conference when she was just beginning her business. She reminded me of my younger self, full of enthusiasm about the idea of making it easy for other moms to save money in every area of their household budget. BUT Laurie did more than grocery deals--on top of doing that, she grew her business with dozens of team members to search out little-known deals on EVERYTHING and produced an extensive line of organizational products.

    She was generous enough to agree to come on this podcast, which was so much fun for me. She's kind, beautiful, brilliant, and incredibly generous. Profits from the company support many charities across the world. I'm so inspired by the progress she has made in 14 years, and I believe her story and experience may inspire other people to take the bold step of faith to put their talents into action to help other people, while building a profitable company.

    Recently I subscribed to her newsletter to see if there were deals I would use. I snagged an unbelievable deal on a fabulous purse thanks to Laurie's newsletter (it cost $16 if you must know, and one of my friends who loves expensive things complimented me on it. I didn't tell her the price). Beyond finding deals, Laurie went on to create an extensive line of high-quality home organization products and planners. She sent me a big box of the company's organizational and menu-planning products and they are beautiful and practical.
