This week, I speak with Theresa Miller, who is adventurous at heart and dedicated to pursuing spiritual, mental, and emotional healing for the betterment of future generations. Originally from the wooded East, Theresa now resides in the wide-open spaces of Wyoming, nestled near the Big Horn Mountains. She cherishes her role as a wife to Rob and mother to their four children. Weaving words has been her creative outlet since childhood, bringing clarity to life’s complexities. Theresa is the co-author of “Unexpected Blessings: 40 Days of Discovering God’s Best” and “The Posture of Victory: Finding True Peace amidst Our Everyday Battles.” She serves in women’s ministries as a Bible teacher and a MomCo Mentor in her community. She co-founded Dandelions, Potholes, & Wrinkles and The Sisters on Purpose Podcast. In addition to guest-appearing on several podcasts and blogs, she has been published in Calla Press Literary Journal, Moms Ezine, (in)courage, and various other publications. You can find Theresa encouraging women to dig deeper to reach higher in their faith and calling on Instagram, Facebook, her professional website, and the podcast she hosts with her sisters. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life. You won’t want to miss this encouraging episode!

This week I speak with Kim Mosiman who is a woman smack dab in the middle of her second act: Her children are grown and joyfully living lives of their own. She enjoys writing, traveling, and perfecting her technique in her new role as Nana. She is a certified nutritionist and personal trainer who closed her small boutique gym in 2017. She thought she was ready to retire and fade into the sunset, but the sudden career change created a lack of purpose in her life. She was alone during the day and abandoned the good habits she had counted on for many years. As a lifelong coach, she recognized the signals and slowly turned her health back around by adding small, sustainable practices into her daily routine. She documented her journey and felt called to share her story. Her first book, Reflections of Joy, was released in May 2024. It is a Christlit Award winner and stands out as a vital resource for women entering their second act. Mosiman nudges readers to let go of the things that have held them back so they can explore the world of opportunities available to women in their middle years. She recently released a companion journal, My Owner's Manual, to help women learn the importance of gathering data in their quest to age well and stay healthy. Kim became a certified Christian life coach in 2023 and has recently expanded her offerings to include wellness coaching and helps new authors launch their books into the world through her coaching business writer-2-writer. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life. You won’t want to miss this encouraging episode!

This week on the "A Cup of Gratitude" podcast, we're having a special episode where I share with you about my new book, "Holy Plot Twists." This book is an overflow of the podcast. God led me to share vulnerable and pivotal times in my life when He came in and worked things out for good, when He turned things around and made them usable. God can take the sharpest, most broken pieces and put them back together in a way that allows us to reach others with our story. I've realized that the way we go into all the world is by sharing our story; it's Unique, no one else in the world has one like ours. It is the way that we can connect to other people and share God's story with them share his goodness and his character this special episode gives you a synopsis of the book explains where it came from and why I put the energy and time into it to give it as a gift to you I also talk about a special contest we're doing where anyone can get a copy of the book take a picture and send it to me and then come on the podcast as a guest this special episode is short and sweet but packed with goodness I hope you'll listen in and have a great day!
