She's a Christian

Hello everyone, and welcome back to season one episode ten of She's a Christian podcast. Today we’re recording at Liberty Church in Dunfermline with the amazing Donna Purdy. Donna is a mum of four, she has a qualification in trauma informed parenting and she's partway through finishing up being a Christian counsellor.

Donna from the age of 13 was taken out of school to look after her mother who was diagnosed with bipolar. This is such heartfelt testimony that Donna is going to be sharing with us all today. I just know it’s going to impact so many of you.

I've been telling lots of people about this book called "Soul Time". I'm having these bite sized moments every single day of real Biblical truths that set me up for the day, and this book has made a marked difference in my life.

Rachel has dedicated her life to building the church and people's lives. She's passionate about pursuing the call of God and helping others do the same and see their dreams and potential fulfilled. I'm really excited for you guys to hear her story today and a little bit about her journey.

Hi and welcome to season one, episode eight of the She's a Christian podcast. In this week's episode, I am being interviewed by my friend, Wendy Griffith. We talk everything from handbags, business, health, podcasting, and my postpartum OCD journey.

This was part of an interview I did for Wendy's, Thriving Women Project podcast; it's for women who want to level up in all areas of their life, health and business. Wendy is a great friend of mine. I really believe in her podcast and I’m so excited to share this with you today - even though there is some tough stuff we spoke about which left me with an oversharing hangover and it's just not things I ever thought I would talk about, and I keep thinking of ways to "under-share" this episode so that I can tick the box of publishing it but also keep listeners to a minimum because it just makes me feel anxious to talk about that season in my life. However here we are, and here you are, reading these show notes!

The topics that we cover are super relevant to what I'm trying to do with the She's a Christian podcast. If we what we speak about in today's episode, especially regarding postpartum OCD and resonates, please know you are not alone in this.

Please reach out to a trusted friend and your Doctor, or anyone in the healthcare industry who is equipped and has the credentials to listen to you and to get you the help and support you deserve.

Hello, welcome to season one, episode seven of the 'She's a Christian' podcast.

There's not been an episode for a couple of weeks , so it's lovely to be back in my little wardrobe today for a solo episode! Today I am talking all about navigating the Christmas season and navigating it well.

I like to call the run up to Christmas, the Christmas creep. It’s starting earlier and earlier each year. It's easy to go down that rabbit hole of buying into the concept of jamming everything into your Christmas diary and getting everything ready months before! This has robbed me of so much potential joy over various Christmases, particularly once I'd grown up and have my husband, kids and home to manage.

I’m going to be giving you some Christmas hacks that have really worked for me over the years and that have helped me navigate things, so that I have more peace and joy through what would otherwise be a potentially very stressful month.

I hope you enjoy this episode today and don’t forget to be kind to yourself this Christmas. Chat to you next week!

Welcome to the She's a Christian podcast ... I'm your host Louise, and you guessed it - I'm a Christian.

This is a place where you can feel like you've popped around to your friend's house for a cup of tea and a chat, and that you come away feeling encouraged, peaceful, and had a really good laugh.

I get that the church thing can sometimes feel a bit inaccessible or maybe you're put off by the religious "stuff" (so am I by the way).

Maybe you already have a faith .. or maybe you're seeking to learn a bit more about faith and what it could mean to your life. Perhaps you've met some " judgy mcjudgerson" Christians in the past and you're just not sure if it's for you - either way, we've got you!

My prayer is that this podcast will become your Christian crew, and you can always sit with us.

In our 30-40 minute episodes, I will be interviewing the most incredible Christians from all walks of life who will be sharing their testimonies of Jesus' goodness.

Whether you're listening on the school run, doing the dishes at night or sitting at your desk having lunch - I hope you'll be encouraged with this.

Especially if you might be thinking "how can there even be a God in this world right now?".  

Join me on this journey ... I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm reminded that God doesn't call the equipped ... he equips the called.

God bless,

Louise
