Kindled - Motherhood, Work & The Grace We Need For Both

Today we're discussing a topic EVERY mom has to face sooner or later in her motherhood: anger. Our capacity for frustration, anger and all out rage can surprise us especially when motherhood is painted as a beautiful and magical thing -- which it is. But the unsuspecting mother who might never have felt she was an "angry person" may be shocked to find the feeling well up within her. If you struggle with anger as a mom, you want to listen to this episode with Natalie! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

In today’s episode, I got to talk with Heather MacFadyen of the Don’t Mom Alone podcast! I love Heather’s show and it was truly a treat to get to talk to her about what God is teaching her and share this encouragement from her with you guys! Heather and I chat about so much- calling vs. assignment, what humility looks like and how we can step into our lives BOLDLY this year. Not because we are strong or skilled or our reputation is on the line, but because of confidence in who we serve. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

I interviewed Toi Sweeney, an award-winning image and style consultant, to discuss what affect personal style has on our brand and perceived value. And spoiler alert - this affects EVERYONE, not just entrepreneurs. Though it will be doubly helpful for those of you with businesses!

In this episode, I’m opening up about my recent course launch and sharing how God has used an outcome I didn't expect to bring about the result I needed most.  I'm sharing how I'm learning we can trust God with the result He is bringing about in our hearts and lives. In fact, how it is often the story we most fear that delivers the growth we have most fervently prayed for, and how God will use every means necessary to bring us near to Him. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

Today you get to hear from my FAVORITE person in the world - MY HUSBAND!  I thought it would be a hoot to interview him on all things regarding being married to an entrepreneur. After all, he's had a front row seat to my journey the last 7 years, so I think he knows a thing or two what it's like!  These episodes are my most favorite to record, because it's just us hanging out, chatting, while on recording, which seems to always make for some of the most hilarious conversations. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

Today’s guest says there are two things that make her smack her own face in frustration: 1. when we buy into the lie that spiritual things must be serious, and 2. when we don’t take our faith seriously. I was delighted to have a conversation with Caroline that spanned so much. From how we think and talk about our bodies to discipleship. She is real and I am constantly inspired by her honest and uplifting writing. I hope this conversation is the equivalent for you! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

Do you ever get TOTALLY SCHOOLED by the Holy Spirit? Like, you ask God for wisdom, and He delivers and just spanks you with insight. Ouch, Lord. I get it.  This was God's kindness to give my thick skull the insight I needed on some questions I've been asking. I hope you like preaching, because this episode ventures in soapbox. But it ain't my soap box. This, friend, is about the gospel. And whose kingdom you're building. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support

Join me for a laugh and a lighthearted chat with Holly Mackle, author and curator of Same Here, Sisterfriend.  Holly believes we as moms and women need to laugh more, which is exactly what led her to curate the book Same Here, Sisterfriend. The book explores the misadventures of motherhood and the hilarity of everyday motherhood. I love that Holly finds the humor in everyday situations and she's truly someone I wish I was neighbors with because she's simply a joy to talk to. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kindledpodcast/support
