In this episode of The Well Grounded Podcast, hosts Diane and Leigh Ann welcome back their good friend and author, Kellie Spencer! After joining the podcast in Season 2 to discuss raising a strong child, Kellie returns with an exciting update on her family and the release of her new book, Lose the Label.

We all carry labels. Some are given to us by others, while some are ones we've placed on ourselves. Over time, these labels can become so familiar that we begin to believe they define who we are. But what happens when we stop allowing our circumstances, struggles, and past experiences from determining our identity and instead embrace who God says we are?

Through her personal testimony and the biblical truths explored in Lose the Label, Kellie encourages us to look beyond the words we've allowed to define us. Her story is a powerful reminder that our identity isn't found in the labels we carry, but in who God created us to be.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How to recognize and release labels that limit your identity and spiritual growth
• Kellie's journey of writing and publishing Lose the Label
• Breaking free from anxiety, worry, and negative thought patterns through faith
• What biblical characters can teach us about identity, purpose, and transformation
• Learning to see yourself through God's truth rather than the labels of your past
• How Lose the Label can be used for personal reflection or group Bible study

This episode is especially encouraging for women struggling with self-doubt, anxiety, negative self-talk, or feeling defined by their past, and anyone seeking to strengthen their identity in Christ.

If this conversation encourages you, share it with a friend who needs a reminder that she is more than the labels she's been given—and that God has a greater purpose for her life.

In this episode of The Well Grounded Podcast, hosts Diane and Leigh Ann welcome back two familiar favorites—their husbands, Tim and Dan! This time, the couples are turning the tables with a fun and candid Q&A about marriage, family, and navigating life after raising children.

As children grow up and begin building lives of their own, marriage enters a new chapter. While the empty nest can bring exciting opportunities, it also comes with adjustments, unexpected challenges, and plenty of opportunities to rediscover what it means to be a couple. Through laughter, honest reflections, and a few surprises, Diane, Leigh Ann, Tim, and Dan share their perspectives on embracing this season together.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The husbands give their wives a report card on how they're handling their (mostly) empty nests
• Staying connected and making intentional time for each other in marriage
• Adjusting to life as children grow up and become more independent
• Lessons learned through decades of marriage and parenting
• What advice they would give their younger selves

This episode is especially encouraging for married couples approaching the empty nest, parents of adult children, and anyone looking to strengthen their marriage through life's changing seasons.

If this conversation encourages you, share it with your spouse or a friend who could use a little laughter and encouragement in their marriage journey!

In this episode of The Well Grounded Podcast, hosts Diane and Leigh Ann welcome back two familiar favorites—their husbands, Tim and Dan! Together, they explore the Season 5 theme of Wisdom & Whimsy, sharing personal stories, biblical insights, and plenty of laughter along the way.

Life is full of moments that remind us just how quickly the seasons change. From raising children to watching them begin new chapters of their own, each season brings opportunities to grow in wisdom, deepen our faith, and appreciate the unexpected joys along the way. Sometimes the most meaningful lessons come from the moments we never want to forget.

Through heartfelt reflections and a little husband humor, this conversation reminds us that wisdom doesn't always come from having all the answers, and whimsy doesn't have to be something extraordinary. Both can be found in the everyday experiences God places before us.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Finding fresh wisdom in Scripture, including Ecclesiastes and Proverbs, as we move through different seasons of life
• How a simple daily Bible reading habit can deepen your understanding of God's Word
• Recognizing and celebrating the whimsical moments in everyday life
• Dan's book, The Search for Reath, and the inspiration he found in his parenting years
• The emotional experience of being a father of the bride and watching your children enter new seasons
• The importance of family, faith, and supporting the next generation

This episode is especially encouraging for parents navigating changing family dynamics, couples embracing new seasons of marriage, and anyone looking to grow in biblical wisdom while finding more joy in everyday life.

If this conversation encourages you, share it with a friend or family member who could use a little more wisdom, whimsy, and laughter in their life!
