After 117 episodes, it's time to pause and reflect on the journey of Your Joyful Order podcast. This final episode of Season 5 is a heartfelt conversation about the power of intentional breaks and the importance of creating space for renewal.

Looking back at Season 5, we've covered tremendous ground – from Pastor Bianca Juarez-Olthoff breaking down spiritual gifts to deep dives into women's wellness and hormonal health that sparked countless conversations. We've explored boundaries with therapists, productivity with coaches, and leadership principles with experts. Each guest brought unique wisdom, creating a tapestry of insight that's helped our community grow in joy and purpose.

Now, as summer approaches, I'm embracing a season of rest and renewal. June brings my 30-day Mid-Year Reset Challenge combining strength training, whole foods, scripture reading, and a complete social media break. This structured approach combats that mid-year energy slump while establishing habits that foster clarity and growth. July delivers a dream European adventure through Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein – because intentionally creating joy through new experiences is essential to a meaningful life.

Season 6 returns in September with a focus on stories and testimonies. I'm specifically seeking listeners with compelling personal narratives of transformation, healing, and overcoming challenges. These firsthand accounts of breakthrough will create connection within our community and remind us of the power of resilience. Your story could be the exact message someone needs to hear.

Remember that order isn't about perfection—it's about creating space for what matters most. Whether you join the reset challenge, submit your story for consideration, or simply use this summer for your own intentional pause, I hope you'll find ways to strengthen your joy and purpose. Connect with me through the links in the show notes and let's continue this journey together when we return in September.

Polly Payne, CEO and founder of Horacio Printing, takes us on a transformative journey exploring how true leadership begins within. From her early days as a New York City sales director living a chaotic, unfulfilling life to the divine moment that sparked her entrepreneurial calling, Polly reveals how intentional self-leadership changed everything.

"The greatest work of art we will create is our life," Polly shares, recounting how this mindset prompted her to see her existence as a canvas requiring deliberate brushstrokes. This perspective shift led to creating the Christian Dream Planner and eventually helped countless others bring their product visions to life.

Throughout our conversation, Polly offers practical wisdom about discerning God-given dreams. She challenges us to examine the condition of our hearts—"If you have a scared heart, you'll have scared dreams"—while reassuring us that sometimes the purpose of a dream isn't wild success but rather how it builds us. This liberating truth frees us from perfectionism and fear of failure.

The discussion moves beyond inspiration into actionable strategies: creating dedicated "dream blocks" in your schedule, recognizing when to ruthlessly eliminate commitments, and embracing the paradox that productivity sometimes means doing less. Polly's approach balances big-vision dreaming with practical daily disciplines that make dreams sustainable.

Whether you're feeling stuck, uninspired, or simply ready to approach your God-given dreams with fresh clarity, this episode offers both spiritual encouragement and concrete steps forward. Discover how to craft your life with intention, lead yourself with confidence, and discern which dreams deserve your wholehearted pursuit. Your next season of purpose and joy may be just one decision away.

What if conflict isn't something to avoid, but rather an essential pathway to growth? Leadership coach Lauren Bronson-Petros reveals how our relationship with tension shapes our effectiveness as leaders, and why most people struggle to approach difficult conversations despite knowing their importance.

Drawing from her background in organizational change and conflict resolution, Lauren introduces the powerful BRAVE framework—a five-step approach that transforms how we navigate challenging interactions. She unpacks why understanding your conflict history matters, how to determine whether something is worth addressing, and the critical difference between seeking resolution versus simply wanting to be right.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Lauren distinguishes between comfort and peace, explaining why the pursuit of comfort keeps us stagnant while peace allows us to act with courage even when facing discomfort. "We often talk about authenticity as a highlight reel," she notes, "but if you're being authentic, it also means acknowledging the parts of you that need growth."

For anyone who's ever avoided a difficult conversation or wondered how to approach conflict more effectively, this discussion provides practical wisdom and a transformative perspective. Lauren offers specific strategies for staying grounded during tense moments, understanding what's truly at stake, and measuring success beyond merely winning arguments.

Ready to develop what Lauren calls an "immunity to discomfort"? This episode will equip you with the mindset and tools to transform your leadership by embracing rather than avoiding the tensions that inevitably arise in any meaningful work. Subscribe now and learn how the healthiest teams aren't conflict-free—they're conflict fluent.
