THRIVE PODCAST

Leigh is a mom of 3 boys, a wife, and a family physician - but in 2020, her life took a major turn (beyond 2020’s usual of a global pandemic). After receiving a cancer diagnosis, she felt God press pause on her life plans and stop the autopilot, forcing her to redirect her attention and reassess her priorities accordingly. From there she took a major shift in her medical career and a faithful jump in a different direction. Today on THRIVE, Leigh shares her story with a vulnerable inside look into her brain throughout the process, as well as tips for dealing with any feelings of guilt that may pop up when making big life shifts. We also break down the idea of “balance” and figure out the sweet spot for truly “having it all” while creating better boundaries to reflect your honest priorities in your current season.

So many of us are…tired. We’ve hustled, we’ve grinded, we’ve burned the candle at both ends, and now, we’re exhausted.

“Can I follow Jesus, but also follow science?” “Can I be a good, supportive friend and validate feelings without letting feelings become facts?” ABSOLUTELY YES to all of the above - and Brittney Moses is here on THRIVE to help us make it happen. As a thought leader, content creator and advocate at the intersection of faith and mental health, Brittney is an ideal resource and incredible voice. In this episode, we talk about why therapy is still so stigmatized in some Christian circles (and how to help fix that). We talk about learning to personally differentiate between what is doable versus actually sustainable in your own life - and living accordingly. We talk about expanding beyond “I’ll pray for you!” in an authentic way to provide support via presence, practicality, validation, self-awareness, and resourcefulness. And, we talk about the difference between living “your truth” and THE Truth, and how to validate your (and others’) feelings while ultimately seeking and following Truth as guide.   CONNECT WITH BRITTENY Instagram Website TikTok Worthy: 50 Mindful Moments to Bring Clarity & Peace to Your Day The Faith & Mental Wellness Podcast   THANKYOU to DIME Beauty for sponsoring this THRIVE podcast!

Power struggles, sibling fighting, constant chaos…solemn nods of solidarity from the parents in the house, right? Kristen feels our collective pain, and as a parent empowerment coach, encouragement consultant, ex-Montessori teacher and director and certified facilitator of Positive Discipline, she’s here to help. While on paper she’s “got it all” as a would-be know-it-all mom, her journey wasn’t always easy transitioning from a teacher to a parent herself. Today on THRIVE, Kristen realistically explains “positive discipline” and breaks down best practices based on the latest in neuroscience and child development (and her on the job training as a mom of three). We also talk about reparenting your own inner child - especially if your upbringing involved a different parenting style than you’re personally implementing today. Kristen helps us focus on your own strengths while figuring this whole mom thing out as you go, with tips on proactively parenting instead of constantly feeling like you’re just reacting to little people with big feelings. ;) Walk away from today’s episode feeling encouraged and empowered as the awesome parent you are!   CONNECT WITH KRISTEN Instagram Website The Empowered Parent Facebook group   THANKYOU to DIME Beauty for sponsoring this THRIVE podcast!

There’s no one who particularly LIKES hearing the word “no.” It’s a punch to the stomach that can make you question everything from your career path to your partner. When Lucy Bedewi was told she had “too strong of a personality” for a job, she felt the feels - then did something with it. Lucy took the rejection as redirection and went on to launch her own business at age 21, making six-figures in her first full year and becoming the writer behind many international corporations, fast-growth start-ups, world-famous bakeries, 7-figure coaches and more. Today on THRIVE, Lucy’s “strong” personality shines and she dives deep into tips for bouncing back and forward after hearing “no.” We talk about knowing when (and how) to take the reasoning for a “no” to heart versus when to brush it off. And, Lucy also shares specific mindset shifts you have to take when you do, inevitably, hear no.   CONNECT WITH LUCY Website Instagram - My Write Hand Woman Instagram - Personal   THANKYOU to DIME Beauty for sponsoring this THRIVE podcast!

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2023, and welcome to SEASON 4 of THRIVE. We’re kicking things off in show, sweet, and simple way, with a mini episode on VISION BOARDING. I like to make a vision board to help clarify my personal goals and dreams for the year and work as a visual reminder and guide. It’s a helpful way to align and re-align daily habits and routines, so that 365 days from now, you can say that you somehow embody certain traits or have experienced certain things that you haven’t as of yet.   THANKYOU to DIME Beauty for sponsoring this THRIVE podcast!
