Introduction To The Encouragement For Real Life Podcast

by | Aug 3, 2021 | Podcast

Hi Friend! We’re tossing confetti over here because this is the launch episode–the introduction–for the Encouragement for Real Life podcast!!

Yes! I’ve started a podcast! But, this isn’t any ordinary podcast, no. This podcast is focused on equipping us with encouragement for our real lives right now.

Because some days we could use a little extra encouragement, right?

We both know real life is a mixture of blessings and blunders, celebrations and sadness, excitement and apathy. It’s a combination of memory-making moments and moments we’d rather forget. And it’s a blend of triumphs and failures, happiness and heartaches, and hope and discouragement.

Real life isn’t always pretty and it’s not always tied up with a shiny red bow.

It’s not pretend or fake, and it’s not a dress rehearsal. You and I don’t get a second chance to live these days over.

This is why the Encouragement for Real Life podcast exists.

To encourage us for real life right now.

I pray you find the encouragement you didn’t know you needed, the hope you long for, the chuckle to lighten your spirit, and the joy that brings a lift to your step each week as you listen in. The episodes are short enough to fit into your full, real life.

You’ll find personal life-impacting stories, helpful life tips and tricks, timely inspiration, Biblical insight, and a fresh perspective, combined with a light-hearted tone to encourage your heart and put a lift in your step.

Until next time, stay encouraged, friend.

This is your reminder that God doesn’t require perfection—just your presence.

You don’t have to crush every task or look Pinterest-perfect doing it.
You’re doing holy work, even in messy buns and yesterday’s mascara. 💁‍♀️

My good friends since 5th grade, Karen and Sheila, joined me on the podcast this week. When I asked them what suggestions they had for someone who's struggling with negative self-talk or degrading thoughts, Sheila shared her wisdom in saying to look for the positive. There's always something positive. But sometimes we get fixed on the negative instead. We need to remember the positive. 

Isn't this true? What are you focused on today? The negative or the positive? What positive can you remember today?

What do you do to change your mindset when it needs some changing?

What's that Bible verse? 📖
If your energy’s gone and your to-do list still feels long, take this as permission to exhale.

God isn’t asking for perfection—just your presence.

Rest is holy.
So is grace.
