Welcome back to the Stripped Away podcast.

In this episode, I interview my son Ethan as he shares his 2,100-mile cross-country journey on his motorcycle.

In this candid conversation between mother and son, we talk about his experience and how it has brought tremendous change to his heart and mind. Sometimes, the greatest change happens when we step outside our normal life and leave behind the distractions and noise.

Enjoy this journey with me as we reconnect to the beauty all around us!

Mindfulness

Welcome to Episode 11 of the Stripped Away Podcast. In this episode, I will be discussing and leading you through several different mindfulness exercises.

When we go through emotional pain and stress it can be stored in our bodies on a cellular level. This episode is experiential and will give you a chance to practice techniques that will bring your body into alignment and calm your nervous system. It is my hope to introduce this practice and process to others as a way to experience deeper healing and relaxation.

Find a quiet, comfortable space and let’s learn how to let go of some of the stress and pain our bodies may be holding onto.

Welcome to Episode 10 of the Stripped Away Podcast.

In this episode, I felt led to talk openly about recovery, a word we have all heard but may not be completely familiar with. I talk with my friend Lisa Butler, who is a counselor and a women’s recovery leader. Join us as we invite you into a bit of understanding about this valuable process and the way it can provide accountability and healing to those of us who struggle with addictive behaviors.

In this process, we partner with others in a safe community and walkout specific steps to deal effectively with our Hurts, Habits and Hangups. The recovery process can be one of the most beneficial steps to becoming the healthiest version of yourself. Thanks for listening and I’m excited to continue this journey with you all.

It really is simple:

In this episode, I interview my son Maxx as he shares the importance of childlike faith and intentional kindness.

As we age, we tend to over overcomplicate the gospel and sharing our faith. Take a listen as we break down the meaningful approach of simply taking a few minutes to see and notice those around us. The cost is small but the impact can be life changing. We never know what a kind word or smile might do to change another persons life forever.

Welcome to Episode 9 of the Stripped Away Podcast. In this episode, we talk about recovering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). We will discuss healthy ways to process and regulate emotions, offering helpful tips to maneuver through difficult situations and feelings of sadness. We will also talk about ways to be open and willing to experience all of our emotions without shame.

Welcome to the latest episode of the Stripped Away podcast. In this episode, I talk with my friend and producer, Austin Dye, about the simple and profound idea of “Picking Up the Seed”.

We discuss the importance of recognizing a wound and having the courage to pick it up and talk about it with our partners. This willingness to be vulnerable and share our hearts with our significant other is a way to create safety, experience a deep emotional connection and develop the capacity to work through conflict.
