A Difference for One: Discussions on Self-improvement

In this episode all 4 sisters discuss boundaries. The four of us read the book "Boundaries" by Henry Cloud and John Townsend and we discuss some of our favorite parts from it as well as our own thoughts. We talk about what our relationship to God is and how he sets and respects boundaries. And so we do our best to do the same. But it takes time to set and maintain boundaries in our lives. We talk about how you know a boundary needs to be set. We also recommend not setting all your boundaries at once. Start small and get the practice and courage to tackle the big ones. It's so important to have a support group behind you to cheer you on and reassure you that you're doing the right thing. Some favorite quotes from this episode: "When you have proper boundaries, intimacy increases." "Don't complain or blame others for your lack of boundaries." (both paraphrased from Brooke Castillo) 

In this episode, the four of us discuss God's grace and how we have seen it in our lives. We specifically share our thoughts on a talk given by Brad Wilcox at Brigham Young University (BYU) that he gave several years ago. The talk is called His Grace Is Sufficient.

In this episode, the four of us discuss the power and importance that "I am" statements can have in your life.

In this episode, we talk about how our relationship with God strengthens when we make sacrifices in His name. Sacrifice can be seen as a negative term until we recognize that what we do blesses others and ourselves, as well as helps us to grow closer to God.

May we all be grateful for the blessings of our sacrifices and the love God has for us and all of His children!

In this episode, Michelle interviews her daughter Andrea about what it's like to have dyslexia. Andrea shares how she doesn't mind working harder than others because she really wants to be successful in reading, writing, and math. She explains how frustrating it can be to see others around her get concepts easier or faster. But she has learned that she has a very creative mind and wonderful skills of her own. Michelle also talks to her about many famous people with dyslexia and quotes they have said about it. "You are part of an amazing club! Don't ever let anyone tell you that because you struggle with dyslexia, you're never going to make it in life," says Orlando Blume. "The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do," said Steve Jobs. Andrea was happy to learn that these amazing people have had the same challenges as her and have overcome them. Michelle always tells her, "Smart is not that you know all the answers. Smart is that you are willing to work hard until you figure it out or finish what you set out to do."

In this episode, Michelle discusses many different signs to look for in discovering if you or your child has dyslexia. She also talks about how to help build confidence in your child if this is the case. She gives tips and tricks on ways to help them learn in different ways, and she provides multiple resources for aiding your child in success.

In this episode, Cami and Michelle discuss the different mindsets people have when it comes to money. The way you view and think about your money affects the way you use your money. A lot of your views on money can come from how you were raised to see your parents and others treat their money. Many have a great legacy to build off of when it comes to the way their parents and grandparents look at and use their money. If you don't have that legacy to build on, you can choose to be that legacy for your future generations. We mention a recent episode Jody Moore did on her podcast "Better Than Happy" called ‘Money Love’, and we expound on her concept of 3 ways to view money. Dave Ramsey says the #1 cause of divorce is money problems and 35% of marriages end in divorce over money. We share two scriptures: Luke 14:28-30 and Proverbs 21:5 and some of our own thoughts about these scriptures as well as an idea we read on the following website regarding these scriptures: https://www.moneycrashers.com/financial-tips-bible-verses-money/ We hope you enjoy and decide to leave a wonderful legacy of not only wealth, but also a positive money mindset for your family!

September is Personal Preparedness month and in this episode, Michelle interviews Ryan Nicholls who works in emergency management. Ryan encourages us not to get overwhelmed in planning for emergencies, but make it a lifestyle of consistently planning for possible future events, especially those specific to the area in which you live. He encourages us to think about possible crisis situations and plan as a family what you would do in those situations. Where would you meet if there is a fire or communication issue? What would you need if there was a power outage? What documents would you need saved in case of a house fire, tornado, or hurricane? We hope these tips encourage you to get started planning for emergencies! We'll share what our families are doing to prepare on Instagram, so be sure to check us out there!
