Lisa Graft's vision and enthusiasm for leading women is infectious. In the beginning of our conversation, I knew her only from her movement, I Am Mother of the Year. By the end, I realized her passion, drive and goals reach far beyond local moms -- she has a message for women across the country. Aside from being amazed at everything Lisa accomplishes (and doing it while also prioritizing 9 hours of sleep!), I was incredibly moved by how she's listened for and heard the voice of God guiding her in what she does. She's recognized her calling and gone for it. This isn't about building a following for her. It's about pursuing a dream God put in her heart to reach women -- often moms specifically -- about the lies they too often believe … [Read more...]
Faith, Fitness and Freedom: How Amia Freeman Was Rescued
Amia Freeman had no idea when she went to an aerobics class many years ago, that it ultimately change her life in an incredible way. In the end, fitness helped her come to know God and get rid of the baggage she'd been carrying in her life for years.

A Purpose-Filled Life: Nadine McGowan on Helping All Women Thrive
Nadine McGowan has energy, passion and drive I only wish I did. Two years into being a Mom, God gave her a vision of helping women find their purpose -- and she followed that vision to the mountaintop without even knowing how she would would do it. The end result was the creation of Purposeful Living, INC (the INC actually stands for "in Christ!"), where women in the Indianapolis area can find support groups, networking events, empowerment meetings, life coaching and more, at no cost for the most part. Of course this means, PLINC is a non-profit that requires many volunteers and generous donations, which is all part of what God has provided for Nadine to live out this mission. In this episode, we discuss how Nadine was a trip to … [Read more...]
Helen Raleigh: What It Means to Live the American Dream
It was honor to speak with Helen Raleigh for this week's episode of the podcast. Helen is a immigrant to the United States from China. She came here with nothing but a dream of education and opportunity that her parents and grandparents never had. Her story is sure to inspire you. In this episode, I talk to Helen about some of the unbelievable abuses she and her family suffered under Communism -- and about why she believes America still offers the greatest opportunity for success in the world. We discuss everything from China's one-child policy to her thoughts on Presidential candidates presenting socialism as a viable option (and why she's against it), as well as how she views white supremacy in this country today. She also tells … [Read more...]
