21 - Family Matters Series: The Four Friends Every Mama Needs

Leading expert on generations and their effect on culture, Jason Dorsey, says the number one impact to culture is PARENTING. How fascinating is that!?

That means who we are surrounding ourselves with AS the parents is incredibly important in how we connect and influence our children.

Which brings me to today’s episode “The Four Types of Friends Every Mama Needs.”

Enjoy today’s episode on the friends you need in your circle, how YOU can be a better friend to your people, and my favorite place to find women of excellence.

20 - Family Matters Series: Special Needs Diagnosis

Marriage, parenting … LIFE is met with unmet expectations and things just turning out differently than you have planned.

I’m beside myself to introduce you to one of my greatest role models and inspirations when it comes to choosing joy in the hard, my DEAREST friend, Andrea Mitchell.

Andrea had a typical pregnancy, typical birth, but was met with an atypical diagnosis 24 hours after having her first child, Ella.

Andrea beautifully shares the good, the hard, the SWEET of raising Ella, as well as sons Will and Jon with husband, Joe. She also offers encouragement and perspective for other special need families and their support communities.

I hope you’ll listen in!

19 - This Is Us: A Blended Fam

Divorce is horrible and scary and just not the way it was meant to be. Full stop.

It truly feels like the break down of everything sacred: your home, reputation, finances, family and dreams of your future too.

But after all the terrible, there CAN be a piecing back together of something beautiful.

Eli and I got married when my three littles were 5, 7, and 8. And five years later, we welcomed a baby that bridged the whole fam together. In this episode I talk to Eli about his perspective throughout the journey. I’m so happy to share our story. This is us.

13 - How to have BOTH a Soul at Rest AND a Thriving Business

If you’re a work from home mom or just a woman in GENERAL, you probably have wrestled with the friction of rest versus hustle. Simplicity versus productivity. Today Rebekah welcomes guest Jessica Hefley to talk about what it looks like to have a soul at rest while still accomplishing big things.

Who’s Jessica Hefley?! Someone you should know: Jessica Hefley helps Christian Business Leaders create more peace, make more money, multiply their time and steward their business God’s way. She didn’t let growing up lower/middle class and being an introvert from a small town hold her back. In just 11 months she reached the highest rank in her Network Marketing company, has been featured in Success From Home Magazine and has remained a top earning yearly millionaire for over 7 years with Plexus Worldwide.

She has since launched a #1 podcast in the Self Improvement category called “Christian Leadership Podcast” and has gone on to use her skills as a Certified Speaker, Trainer and Coach on the John Maxwell Team as well as her training in Spiritual Direction and Christian Life Coaching to launch her BREAKTHROUGH transformation program called LEADING LADIES.

12 - How to Shut-Up the “Shoulding”

The weight of womanhood is REAL HEAVY. Pressures, standards and expectations in virtually EVERY part of our lives and it is STRAIGHT UP IMPOSSIBLE to excel in every arena.

Nevertheless, try we do. That leads to feelings of overwhelm, uncertainty, insecurity, ineffectiveness, guilt, shame and the list goes on.

What IS possible is identifying what’s the most important, tuning out distractions by defining what’s sacred and concentrating there. This less is more approach is an utter and complete game changer.

Join Rebekah as she talks priorities, the conversation that changed everything and how to change how you view productivity in a way that actually works in accomplishing more with less.

11 - Feelings and Flesh: Insights on our Middle-Schoolers

If you’ve been personally victimized by the sudden change in your darling precious angel baby becoming a middle schooler with new feelings, hormones and behavior patterns, take heart friend. Today’s guest, Tyler Eatherton, head of middle school and junior high at a school super near and dear to me, is talking ALL things grades 5-8.

This episodes includes topics like:

• conversations that lead (or stop!) connection

• what typical struggles and temptations this age group is exposed to

• the disciplinary issues that tend to come up most frequently at this age

Tyler said the administration adoringly refers to this group as “flesh and feelings” as they’re navigating a whole new world of their adolescence.

I feel like I left this conversation with more awareness, helpful tools and resources and comfort in knowing I’m not the only one that thinks this is hard. I hope you leave feeling the same!

We talked about several helpful resources on the show, here’s some quick links:
