.

My top 5 mystical moments that took me from mainline protestant minister to SUPER woo-woo life, writing and marketing coach.

.

Are there spiritual tools and technologies that the Christian faith has forgotten over the centuries? If life on earth really is a learning school, does that free us each up to experience different curricula to learn our different "assigned" lessons?  Does God speak through dreams, numbers, and does every person have a spirit team? All of this and more is explored as I share how I went from being a seminary-trained mainline protestant minister of 15 years to feeling closer to God, myself and others than ever before by being a *super* woo-woo life, marketing and writing coach. 

Making choices based on what others say we 'should' do is overwhelming. So thankful that author, speaker and business leader, Meghan Speer is here with a profundity to help us move more in alignment with how God is calling us. 

.

Meghan Speer serves as the Vice President of Marketing Support Network in Pittsburgh, where she is also active in many organizations in her inner-city community. She launched her first book “Letting Go of Should” in January this year and is excited to see how her story has resonated with people.

.

No one ever told me *this* about parenting, and once I figured it out, it changed EVERYTHING about how I related to my fear as a parent and my child's courage. I share a theory in this episode and am open to being 100% wrong and am 100% curious to hear your thoughts, so let me know on the socials if you agree or disagree, friend. 

.

Claiming our ancestor's stories in their entirety, learning from them, forgiving them, and moving differently where needed is not only a healing step to take personally, but it heals our community as well. Activist, consultant, author, speaker,  friend, and marketing client, Sandhya Jha is here to open our hearts to just this in today's profundity. 

.

It is a devotional for progressive Christians looking for spiritual depth instead of shallow platitudes. It will ground you in community, even if you’ve only read individualistic devotionals before, while getting to be with the bible through a lens of justice, compassion, and connection, without having to dedicate hours to bible study.

EXPLORE THE BOOK, LIBERATING LOVE:

There are unfathomable experiences in this life that attempt to take us out; that torment us with our  too-much-ness and our not-enough-ness. Author, teacher, and marketing client, Ellen Compton is here with guidance for spiritual mavericks who are done with fitting in, and are ready to live authentically.

.

Even if you’ve always played the game, OR you’ve refused, and so you’ve been punished, corrected, and sanitized by others for being real, you can find joy in the mess, and live free from the social gauntlet with the words in this conversation and in her upcoming book in July 27th. (Eek!)

The other day a woman got angry with me when I complimented her. She viewed it as a near insult that I complimented her as opposed to giving all credit to God. What's this about? What's at the root of this type of skewed response from Christians? I believe that I know the root cause of moments like these and it all stems from 1 VERY POPULAR Christian belief. Yep, There's 1 Christian Belief (whether conscious or not) that's keeping you from your goals, and we're going to take a good hard look at this and equip you to move away from its limiting belief so that you can serve others with your talents with more peace and productivity and joy.

If you have been bogged down with productivity tips out there about keeping a strict schedule, self-discipline, and thinking in a linear way, then Dana's Uproarious Profundity is going to be music to your ears.

We explore how schedules are problematic and lots of other fun self-development tidbits with life and relationship coach, Dana Heston. She is an amazing coach who equips conscious couples to create the marriage of their dreams and helps individuals connect and love their core essence.

How is she different as a coach from a minister? Are her mindset and values different now too?

Here are the questions that we'll be with:

1. IS THERE A LIMIT TO HOW GOOD YOU CAN STAND IT?

2. CAN YOU FINALLY FEEL LIKE ENOUGH WHEN YOU LOVE THE PART OF YOU THAT FEELS THE FURTHEST THING FROM?

3. IS THERE MORE POWER IN THE TORTURED ARTIST WHEN THE TORTURE IS PAST TENSE?

CONNECT WITH AJ:

We’ll unpack 3 red flags that tell us when the feelings of others are louder than ours and then 8(ish) tips that help us to know how we *actually* feel about things.

. 

There was a time in my life where I was so lost in appeasing and impressing others that I had no clue what I honestly felt about anything or anyone. I just knew how to pretend really well. I had gotten so good at making my preferences invisible to others as a people-pleaser, that they eventually became invisible to even me. You might be in a similar place. You might find yourself wondering, “Do I even know how I feel about that ? Or them? Oh, I have no clue what to choose!” 

.

After this episode, you will be much more in tune with your feelings. From this, you’ll be able to make decisions faster and up your focus, creativity, and empathy. You’ll be more present and in the moment. You’ll release grudges quicker and hold more space for grace and forgiveness.

What a better time to talk about how to deal w/ those high-maintenance, life-sucking relationships than Valentines Day Week, right?! ;) 

.

Sometimes good lil' Christians or people-pleasers, struggle to be honest with their preferences and feelings within relationships. We think things like, 'Jesus hung out with tax-collectors and pigs ;P, who am I too want more for myself in the relationships that I choose to cultivate?'

.

Sometimes, we even struggle with a bit of a 'savior complex' where we attract/seek out charity-case friendships where we're only friending them to save them. These inevitably lack that life-giving chemistry that true, mutual, authentic friendships have, and rarely help us (or the other party) reach our potential because we view them as the victim and ourselves as the hero.

.

Could Jesus possibly be ok if we're not BFFs with everyone? Does this mean that our faith is weak? Is Jesus ok with us holding different types of standards and boundaries with different relationships? 

.

Let's hang out for a bit and explore 3 ways to enhance ALL of your relationships--yep, from those humans you love the most to those you love to avoid, we got you covered!

(Lo siento for the tongue-tied-stuttering at points! :P) Once you hear her content and feel her stellar frequency, you’ll totally see why.

.

If we're being honest, fear of others thinking that we're self-promoting narcissists can keep us creating and marketing the book ideas on our hearts. You feel me?

Habits that help deal w/ depression, why Shittz Creek is 'simply the best', a tip to become more open to change, and how God has hilarious ways of getting our attention are just a few of the nuggets of wisdom that my friend, office-mate and podcast cohost over at The Listening Chair, Miranda Priddy offers us in this episode. 

.

Today we will dive into how your orgasms and your ability to be creative go hand in hand. 

.

Yep, you increase one, you increase the other. You block one, you block the other. The power has been taken away from you in one, you guessed it, it will be taken away from the other.

When it comes to " having it all" as a mom of four and public education-tycoon who climbed the ladder to Assistant Superintendent of Mabank ISD, *while* learning from her mistakes along the way, my mom's a total badass. I couldn't be more stoked to share her stories around advocating for the sexual health of teens with special needs, defending teen streakers in court, standing up to military guards during the golf war with we four kids in the van, and oh, yes, the one with the baby squirrels and her first year of teaching. Get ready for some hilarious inspiration, friend.

Like all of us who are trying to parent AND live our life's purpose well, my mom and I are interrupted quite a bit in this interview. You'll hear my sister-in-law, my daughter needing help with virtual school, my niece, Ellie looking for a hairbrush,  and the interview even ends abruptly because my Mom's help is needed by my Uncle Tommy calls about help with new gravel at my Cousin Justice's house. (She takes the call and then the zoom ap on the phone closes down.) Ha! Real-life, right?! 

.

While I was tempted to edit all of these life-interruptions out, I chose not to. They are part of 'having it all', they are the 'all' for which we all work so hard. These relationships are what it's all about, and there's no better content than that.

.

So....if you are a super-busy, parenting, spiritually-attuned-go-getter who is striving to thrive professionally and personally in the crap of COVID, then let my mom's tips save you tons of time, misery and energy. Also, if you are like her and want to improve public schools in the US, as one who has helped MANY schools succeed, the tips she gives about school board health,  outdated 'zero-tolerance', and what we can learn from schools in Finland will BLOW YOUR MIND! :)
