I will let you in on a little secret in this podcast episode. Those people around you on social media, in your community, and influencers you are following who are doing bold things, who seem so confident, put together, and sure of what they are doing... Did you know they are most likely doing it scared to death, uneducated, unsure, and praying their way through it?

The big difference. They are willing to do it anyway.

So what does that mean for you? Well, my friend, the next time you feel your heart calling you to that bigger, better thing, you better say YES. Do it scared. Do it imperfectly. Do it without being fully educated. Do it without everything perfectly lined up. Simply just do it.

Several years ago, while working for my old boss, I screwed up pretty badly. He ended up laughing and talking to me about my goodwill account and was thankful it was so high so when he had to take a withdrawal, it was still pretty high.

It was one of the best analogies that I still use today. It's important to recognize this with all kinds of relationships around you. Some people in your life have depleted their accounts and you need to move them out to make room for the new amazing relationships that will come. This episode will both encourage you and challenge you!

The constant call of motherhood, the never-ending list, the dishes in the sink, laundry in the dryer, and endless things to do. It will ALWAYS be there. If you are like me, it's hard to stop being responsible, leave it be, and have fun.

My son challenged me on this the other week to have fun on a beautiful day and at first, it was SO annoying. But I finally said yes and I am so glad I did. I wanted to share my experience with you as well and challenge you to do the same!

A couple of weeks ago, I went on a trip across the world to learn a completely different culture, and boy, did it change my heart in the most amazing ways.

I don't think you need to go as far as I did, but I do believe there are people in your backyard that you can get to know, learn from, and understand more.

Don't let the input or fear of others stop you from loving people who are different from you. It is not always easy, but it can certainly be worth it. In all reality, I thought I was going to be a light to them and change their lives and hearts, but instead, they changed mine even more!

During a date night with my husband, we had a fun and hard conversation about how in a short few years, our family of 6 will forever change with girlfriends and boyfriends added into the mix.

Of course, we know who would best fit our children right? However, we had to step back and remember that we were also that "unlikely" couple that got together and married. We did not bring equal value into the relationship and it made us step back and realize that imperfect relationships do not define a successful marriage.

Do your part as parents to teach and instill core values into your children and the rest is up to them.

You will never guess where I am at when this episode airs. Halfway across the world! Yup, crazy I know! But several months ago I signed my name on a sheet of paper with my crappy handwriting having no idea how powerful that signature would become.

This episode is both encouraging and challenging and I hope it makes you step it up and step into your own mission in this world.

Did you ever have that moment where you felt you were "super" good at something or were meant for this really big thing, and it didn't work out at all or you totally missed the mark?

That certainly happened to me a few months ago and I couldn't not understand why... That was until it was revealed to me during a hard conversation with my teenage daughter.

We need to do a little check-in from time to time. Take a step back and humble our entitled selves. It really does matter!

Enjoy this little gut punch from my heart to yours.

Our adoptive daughter turns three this weekend! I cannot believe it! In this time of celebration, it made me really sit back and reflect on the many lessons I have learned in the last 3 years of navigating being an Adoptive Mom. The good, the hard, the mistakes, and everything in between.

I thought I would share my heart with you and even if you are not an adoptive mama yourself, I feel like there are pieces of this that you can take away or share with others!
