  Your Time is Now

  Sep 14, 202618 minS9

  Have you ever felt like your best days were behind you? Like once you hit a certain age, that's just it, time to settle down and stop having any dreams! That's the lie I'm calling out on this episode, y'all, because I promise you, no matter what age you are, your time is now. This week I'm taking you back to a memory from when I was just 11 or 12 years old, visiting my dad's AA sponsor, when I first discovered a book that planted a seed I didn't even know was growing. Decades later, I rediscovered that same book The Majesty of Calmness and it cracked something open in me all over again. We talk about aging without fear, using your failures as your foundation, and why your capacity to make an impact doesn't have an expiration date. Episode Highlights: [2:07] Sponsor Shoutouts: Holiday Beach Companies & Team Patriot Home Solutions [6:27] Finally Getting the "Body" Part Right [9:13] The Majesty of Calmness & Letting Go of the Fear of Aging [11:38] Our Time Is Now [13:53] Starting My Company at 50 & Stepping Into My Speaking Career [14:43] Today's Affirmation: Renew In Me [14:52] Outfit & Sponsor Shoutouts: Gypsy Willow & Amor Boutique Big Thanks To Our Sponsors: Team Patriot Home Solutions: https://teampatriotllc.com Holiday Beach Mechanical https://holidaybeachmechanical.com Gypsy Willow https://gypsywillowretail.com Amor Boutique https://amorboutiquepc.com Ferrucci's Ristorante https://ferruccipc.com Something's Cooking https://somethingscookincatering.com Elysian Med Spa https://elysianpcb.com Hue Salon https://www.huesalonandboutique.com Panama City Coffee Co. https://www.panamacitycoffee.com New Merch & Book Updates!

  Why Desperation, Not Inspiration, Finally Got Me Healthy

  Sep 7, 202647 minS9

  Have you ever felt like a fraud saying something nice about yourself? Like the second the words leave your mouth, some voice in your head goes, "Girl, who are you kidding?" That's exactly what my producer Ashley admitted to me when we sat down for this episode and it's a feeling I bet almost everyone has. This week I’m joined by my producer Ashley Feller and she turns the mic on me! We talk about the real story behind writing my book, *Joy Is My Favorite Color* and why growing up in an alcoholic home taught me that gratitude and forgiveness were the tools that helped me survive. We also share what's ahead for Season 9!

  You're Afraid, Do it Anyway!

  Aug 31, 202627 minS8

  Have you ever been frustrated with yourself because you don't have your friend's talents? I sure have. I'm surrounded by talented people, my daughter who has the most beautiful singing voice, so many artists, and even tax professionals! I would love to have their talents, and maybe if I worked hard enough at art, I'd be an artist too. But what I do know is that God gave each of us gifts uniquely fitted to who we are, and it's a waste of my time and energy to sit around wishing I had someone else's. The hard part is actually using them, being courageous enough to do the scary thing anyway. I'm winding down Season 8 with a little potpourri of everything that's been on my heart. I share a beautiful lesson I learned from Holly Fowler about nature "listening" and letting go before a storm. As well as a boat ride with my son Sheldon and grandchild JJ that had me in tears of gratitude that I knew could not be possible if Sheldon was not sober. I get honest about the fear that still shows up when I am on stage at speaking engagements and why I've decided that doesn't mean I lack courage, it just means I have to keep tapping into it. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me along the way. I can't wait for you to see what's in store in the next season! Episode Highlights: [0:35] Holly Fowler's Nature Lesson & the Oak Trees Before Hurricane Michael [3:49] Celebrating Sheldon's Sobriety [5:50] Growing Up in Addiction & Choosing Joy Anyway [8:51] Sponsor Shoutouts: Pepsi, Holiday Beach Mechanical & Team Patriot [15:29] Entering a Season of Subtraction [16:52] New Speaking Opportunities & Trusting God's Timing [18:43] Why I Stopped Wishing for Talents I Don't Have [20:32] Winston Churchill on Courage & Your "Finest Hour" [22:44] Season Wrap-Up & a Sneak Peek at the Foster Care Episode with Barb & Kay [24:24] Sponsor Love: Ferrucci's, Something's Cooking, Bay Tax & More [25:23] Closing Affirmation from Joy Is My Favorite Color Big Thanks To Our Sponsors: Buffalo Rock Pepsi: https://buffalorock.com/locations/panama-city Holiday Beach Mechanical: https://holidaybeachmechanical.com Gypsy Willow: https://gypsywillowretail.com Amor Boutique: https://amorboutiquepc.com Ferrucci's Ristorante: https://ferruccipc.com Something's Cooking: https://somethingscookincatering.com Shore House Furniture: https://shorehousefurniture.com Resources: Capstone House: https://www.capstonehouse.org New Merch & Book Updates!

  The 1 Thing Every Foster Child Needs

  Aug 24, 202640 minS8

  She was never supposed to make it. Statistically, Barb shouldn't have become a loving wife, mother, and GG. This week she tells us why the statistics were wrong. This week I'm sitting down with two of my favorite humans at Beachy Beach Real Estate, Barb Wade and Kay Blanchard for a conversation that got a lot deeper than any of us expected.Barb grew up in foster care, bounced between homes starting at age 11, and never quite felt like she belonged anywhere. She opens up about what people get wrong about foster care, and how she turned a hurtful experience into becoming the mom whose house is the safe place for every kid in the neighborhood. Kay grew up in a loving, stable home and just became a foster parent herself, welcoming a teenage girl into her family. We also get into the number one reason kids actually end up in foster care, why so many good foster placements fall through the cracks, and how you can make a difference in a child’s life even if fostering isn't for you. Episode Highlights: [1:46] Barb's Foster Care Story Begins [5:07] Why Kay Decided to Become a Foster Parent [9:25] Sponsor Shoutouts & Cute Outfits [14:48] The Hard Truths of the Foster System [30:49] What Kids in Foster Care Really Need [34:53]Judging Enthusiasm [36:44] Sponsor Love: Elysian Med Spa & More [38:14] Book Signing, Reviews & Wrap-Up About Barb & Kay: Barb and Kay are both real estate agents at Beachy Beach Real Estate. Barb grew up in the foster care system and has spent her adult life opening her home and heart to everyone around her. Kay, a grandmother, widow, and former schoolteacher, recently became a foster parent to a teenage girl after decades of wanting to open her home to kids in need. Ways to Help Children Living in Foster Care: AdoptUSKids ( https://adoptuskids.org) – A national project connecting children in foster care with families, providing comprehensive information for prospective foster and adoptive parents. National Foster Parent Association (NFPA) ( https://nfpaonline.org ) – Provides networking, education, and national advocacy for foster, kinship, and adoptive families. Foster America ( https://foster-america.org ) – Works upstream to drive systemic innovation, support families, and reduce unnecessary family separations.

  What Happens When You Finally Stop Hiding with Jody Morgan

  Aug 10, 202634 minS8

  What if the healing you've been waiting for has been available to you all along you just needed to find the right tools and the right people? If you've ever felt like your health, your family, or your future was out of your hands, this episode is for you. My dear friend Jody Morgan joins me today, and her story is one of the most powerful I've ever heard. Jody's story is proof that God doesn't waste anything, not your pain,and definitely not any struggles. We talk about what it means to stop hiding, stop playing small, and start showing up fully for the life God has called you to. Jody shares how a health crisis with her daughter led her to discover products and a community that changed everything, and how a single quote "There's nothing holy in hiding" shifted the trajectory of her career and her faith. I also share why peace has become my most prized possession, why motivation is overrated, and why purpose will carry you so much further than passion ever will. Episode Highlights: [00:11] Meet Jody Morgan [02:26] Faith, Overcoming & Finding God [14:21] Sponsors [16:10] Jody's Rise to #5 in the Wellness Company [18:50] Nothing Holy in Hiding [23:43] Healing, Leadership & Purpose [24:52] Present Over Perfect & Parenting [28:31] Purpose Over Passion About Jody Morgan: Jody Morgan is a faith-driven entrepreneur, wellness advocate, and one of the top five leaders in a nationwide wellness company. After spending years searching for answers for her chronically ill daughter, Jody discovered the power of toxin-free living and functional medicine and built a thriving business by helping others do the same.
