Simply Wholehearted Podcast

Have you experienced a hard trial in your life? 

Ever felt like giving up? 

Or feel ready to burn everything down and run far away?

We all face resistance at one time or another causing us to back out on a dream or give up on our thing.

How can we choose persistence instead?

That’s what we’re talking about today with pastor Nick Connolly, author of Don’t Give Up Just Yet: Choosing Persistence in a World of Overwhelming Resistance.

Are you thinking of turning your passion for helping others into a business in 2024?

One of the terms I often use in my Wholehearted training and coaching is being a guide by the side. We aren’t meant to be another person's hero. Instead, we get the privilege of guiding someone else to be the hero in their story and point them to the most perfect Hero and Guide, Jesus Christ.

So what is a guide by the side? And how do you become one?

That’s what I’m sharing today along with nine ways Jesus showed us how to be a great guide.

Big thanks to my friend Tyler Zack for giving me permission to share this conversation from his summit.

This week I’m sharing my hard, but real, wholehearted healing journey with you.

This conversation was originally recorded with my friend Brian Lee as a guest speaker in his Broken to Beloved Summit in April of 2023. He gave me permission to share it with you.

The decision to share my painful journey is not an easy one, and I hope and pray you hold my story with care. 

In this episode, I'm sharing:

• How the U diagram (from Allender Center) helps process our stories and guide others through theirs
• Why we need to process the trauma of Friday and the darkness of Saturday to experience the miracle of Sunday
• Sharing a few Fridays and Saturdays in my personal story
• What happens if you avoid the darkness of Saturday

If you are in need of a safe place for your own story, I invite you to book a call with us to find coaching and support for your own healing journey.

When you hear the phrase “quiet time” what does it make you think? 

Punishment, maybe a timeout on the corner?
A dream that you have and it never happens. 
An item on your to-do list that you tend to put off?

Let’s look at quiet time as getting in the Word of God, however that looks for you.

Word is one of three Wholehearted Rhythm pillars we are going to cover this month and I can’t wait to talk about this with my friend, Angela Perritt, founder of Love God Greatly, as she shares:

• How Love God Greatly began and serves 500k+ women
• The beauty of God’s Word in different countries and languages
• How fear creeps in when you’re not in God’s Word
• Reflecting on lessons, habits, rhythms to continue in the new year

This interview is a listener favorite and originally aired January 2021.

Honest question: how did 2023 go for you?

Full of fun? Blessings? Frustration? Hardship?
Or maybe a little bit of both hard and good?

Today I'm going to walk you through my LEARN process, to help you reflect on the past and plan for the future with life giving rhythms. This is the process I personally use at the end of the year and in this episode, I will share my own answers to these reflection questions, as well as my own hopes and dreams for the New Year!

It's hard but true, the holiday season still doesn’t make all our relational issues disappear. 

So, that's why I would like to invite you to step into a story for this special Advent episode. A story that will provide perspective on what triggers you and what triggers the other personalities around you. It’s true that some personalities naturally click more than others. Still, the desire I have for you and the wholehearted community is not just to tolerate the differences but instead to be able to celebrate our diversity. 

Today I’ve brought back a mini-fictional tale read in dramatic fashion to help usher in the spirit of celebration this season. This one is safe and entertaining for the whole family, so you can enjoy it as you travel or shop together this holiday season.

 Plus, if you listen until the end, I’ve got LOADS of practical applications about what triggers each personality Type and some practical steps you can take for yourself as you gather with friends and family this holiday. 

Are you struggling to find the perfect gift? Do you wonder why their list looks so different from yours? Well, wonder no more: I’ve created the Enneagram Gift Giving Guide with you in mind.  Get the free guide plus bonus gift tags at www.simplywholehearted.com/enneagram-gift-guide.

Show Notes
Today, I am going to talk you through a breath prayer for each Enneagram Type that you can write down and practice yourself, or just listen to this episode as many times as you want and enjoy all the breath prayers. 

So whether you are driving around town, walking an indoor track, or making a mess in the kitchen, may the peace of Christ envelop you today amongst the hustle and bustle of the season.

When you read the word “expectation,” what comes to mind? 

A feeling of hope? A sense of disappointment? Or a point of frustration?

Expectations- we’ve all got ‘em whether we want to or not- and that’s why I wanted to take time with fellow Wholehearted Coach Deanna Sudom to unpack the word expectation specifically in light of the holiday season. 

We will offer five practical tips to help you navigate expectations, which you can implement today, and a specific action for each Enneagram Type to support you this holiday season.

What is advent? 

It’s personal, yet communal. Traditional yet varied. And ultimately is about  the anticipation and preparation for the arrival of Christ. 

Author Jen Ludwig joins me on today's episode to share her personal experience on reclaiming Advent in her own life. She is also the author of the Christian devotion, "Embracing Advent: Rediscovering Christmas in the Chaos".

When I got the email about a new Christmas musical coming to theaters with big names like Antonio Banderas, I knew I had to do some investigation. While it was a little strange for this midwesterner to watch a Christmas movie when it was 90 degrees outside, I was so delighted to have the opportunity to preview this phenomenal work. 

I truly got chills and tears as I pushed the volume on my computer screen to the max and immersed myself in the story. The Journey to Bethlehem score and production is truly a work of art and a film I plan on having on rotation every holiday season from here on out! I was thrilled when I got matched to interview the co-writer of this Christian film, Nikki Anders!

I pray this episode is a blessing to you, friends!

I’m really enjoying these conversations with voices I trust and with some new friends as well. Today’s guest, Ahn Lin, is one of those new friends and newer to my IG feed, but she has a very influential DIY account my teen girls have enjoyed following for a while. 

Ahn recently released a debut Book FOREVER HOME, A Transformative Journey of Healing, Empowerment, and Inner Peace- throughout it’s pages, she shares Her Inspiring Story of Overcoming Brokenness to guide you to Unlock your True Potential, Find Inner Strength, and Embrace a Fulfilling Life.

Do you lie awake at night thinking about how you are probably messing up your kids?

Is your mind swimming with all the places you must go and things you need to do with and for your kids?

Or how you used to be a certain kind of person and enjoy different things, but now you aren’t sure who you are after having kids? 

Well, you aren’t alone.

That’s why I’m so grateful a good friend, fellow entrepreneur, and author has written a book to help you throw off the guilt and strip away the myths you've believed about motherhood. Alli Worthington has been a longtime favorite of the podcast and for me, a far-off older sister who has led the way in many things. Her book, Remaining You While Raising Them, offers you a new way to think--about your kids, yourself, and being the mom you've always wanted to be.
