Trust me, your family sees you at your best... and your worst. It's hard to be vulnerable with our husbands. It's frustrating when our kids are defiant, misbehaving, and giving us one-word answers to every question.
But you know what?
You can still have great family relationships!
In today's episode, we're unpacking 5 action steps that you can use TODAY to bless your family. Five practical strategies that will help your marriage, help you get along with the in-laws, and build a sense of peace in your home life.

Episode 7 // Who do you see every day? Who sees you at your best... and your worst?
Drum roll please...
Your family. Your husband. Kids. Mom. Dad. Siblings. Grandparents.
The people you grew up with and the people you live with today are the people we have the deepest and longest-lasting relationships with. Today, we're digging into WHAT it means to love our family well and WHY that is important in our day to day lives.
This episode continues in our mini-series looking at the four pillars of this podcast. Loving our family well is probably what you naturally think about when you hear the title: "Love your people well." Who are your people? Your family!
As you listen to today's episode, please keep one important thing in mind: No family is perfect. You did not grow up in a family that perfectly met your needs. Your family today undoubtedly falls short at times on always showing kindness, patience, respect, and affection in every interaction.

Episode 5 // In today's episode, we are continuing our mini-series walking through the four pillars of the Love Your People Well™ Podcast. Today we are answering the questions of WHAT and WHY for pillar #2: Love Yourself Well.
What does it mean to love yourself well?
Why is it important?
This is such an important topic. It is so easy to neglect our mental health and put off time for self care. We spend so much time caring for other people, we run out of time for ourselves.
In my counseling work, I have worked with countless women struggling with this. In fact, I think we all do it! We focus on other people and let our own wellness slip by. Our hearts get sidetracked by anxiety, stress, discouragement, fear, and so many other hardships. We want things to change, but we struggle to find the time to do it.
No more, my friend!
Today, we look at what it means and why it's important to love yourself well. Join me on this journey to health, wholeness, and healing.

Episode 3 // Hey friend! Today we are digging into what it means to love God well and why that is meaningful in our everyday lives.
Do you feel close with God? How is your spiritual growth? For most of us, we've hit a season where the Bible was confusing, our prayer life felt awkward, and we've gotten overwhelmed by the checklist of things a Christian "must do."
If this is you, sweet sister, lay it down! Lay that baggage at the foot of the cross.
God gives us only three things that are necessary to love him well. And that's what we're unpacking in today's episode - WHAT does it mean to love God well? WHY is that meaningful in our every day lives?
This is the start of a mini-series looking at the four pillars of the Love Your People Well™ Podcast (love God, love yourself, love family, love others). For each one, we'll dig into WHAT it means, WHY it is meaningful in your life, and HOW you can do it with practical strategies!
Today, we're jumping in - WHAT does it really mean to love God well? WHY does it matter?

What’s your story? Here’s mine. A story of faith, love, and vulnerability.

Episode 2 // Welcome back, friend! In today's episode, I'm sharing my story (and my heart!) with you.
I always find it so meaningful to hear other women's stories. It's so encouraging to see how God is working in people's lives. And it takes a lot of vulnerability to open up to people and share our stories. So not only do I want us to get to know each other better (and how can we do that if I don't share?!) but I also want to let God encourage you and bless you as you listen.
My story is all about God. How He called me into his family, grew me through trials and vulnerability and life changes, led me to my husband, and let us through infertility and into embryo adoption. There are bumps and bruises along the way, and I am sure there will be more! But He is faithful and his plans are always good.
What's your story? Do you share it with people? You bless them when you do!
Enjoy the episode, friend, and I'll talk with you again soon.
