160. How to Be Stronger than Stress with Barb Roose

by | Aug 27, 2024 | Podcast

It’s our guest episode for the month, and you are going to be so glad you are tuning in. Joining me on the podcast today is speaker and author, Barb Roose. Barb is passionate about teaching women to live beautifully strong and courageous so that they experience God’s great adventure of faith and purpose for their lives. She’s the proud empty-nest mom of three adult kids and whenever possible, Barb prefers to eat dessert first. She tells us why! We discuss everything from living overwhelmed to spending time with God, to embracing life right now. We had a powerful conversation that spoke to me, and I believe it will speak to you too! Because you and I experience stress in this life, no matter what season we’re in, we need this kind of encouragement. Barb helps us live the abundant lives Jesus came to give us!

How to Be Stronger than Stress with Barb Roose

Barb Roose helps us learn how to be stronger than stress.

She helps us feel like we aren’t alone in this life of stress and overwhelm, and her enthusiasm is contagious. She helps us do something about the stress (before we chuck a bunch of dinnerware through the window like she did!). Barb candidly shares about the time she did just that! She also helps us see how following spiritual practices can help us keep our focus on Jesus and what’s truly important.

Click on the player above to listen to the full 35-minute episode. (Our guest episodes are longer than the solo ones.)

I encourage you check out her website and her book, Stronger than Stress. Follow Barb Roose on social media. She’s the real deal for Jesus. You can find all her links in the show notes.

If you are encouraged by this episode, please leave a rating and/or review so others can find this episode too. Be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already, and feel free to share this with a friend who could use this encouragement in her life.

Also, we will be resuming our Right Now Matters Bible Study group sessions in the fall. The Right Now Matters Bible Study: A 28-Day Guided Adventure to Living as a Right-Now Woman can be done on your own or in a group. I have to say it’s much more fun walking through it with other women. I host these both online and in person. If you’d like to be notified of the next group sessions, find the link in the show notes to join the waitlist. They will likely begin next month.

You can be stronger than stress, my friend!

God has good plans for your life, and living stressed and overwhelmed isn’t in those plans.

Friend, I pray this episode encourages you and empowers you to be stronger than any stress in your life. Barb Roose and I are cheering you on today! God bless you!

Today’s reminder:
You don’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
You don’t have to have it all together to be deeply loved.
You’re already chosen, already cherished.

Let’s see ourselves through God's grace-colored glasses today.

Not sure if Abundant Life Mentoring is for you?
Let’s look at the 7 things it’s not.

Too many women believe mentoring has to be intense, performance-driven, or one-size-fits-all. But that’s not what you’ll find here. Abundant Life Mentoring is a grace-filled, Christ-centered space for real women seeking real growth.

Swipe through to see what won’t be part of your experience—then come back tomorrow for what will.

There's a group of special women out there who, for one reason or another, show up to church alone. 

At a former church, an entire row was filled with us women who came without spouses or families, and we created quite a bond. We knew we needed it--and each other.

I get it--it's not so easy to do somedays, walking in alone, sitting by oneself, but every time, God meets me there.

If you went to church by yourself or know someone who did today, I see you. I'm with you. I am praying for you. Keep showing up. Your presence matters more than you know.

Sometimes the most sacred moments don’t look polished. Sometimes they include a book, a lap full of grandsons, and yes—even a finger in a nose.😉

But this? This is legacy.
This is love.
This is what matters right now.🩷

You don’t have to have it all together to make a difference.
Your presence is enough. Your faithfulness is forming something eternal.🌸

Keep showing up, even when life feels messy. God is using it all. 🙌

The voice in your head doesn’t get the final say.
Let’s trade the lies for truth today—and speak to ourselves the way God does.
