In today's conversation on Becoming Her: Raw & Real, we ask the question, why does it take courage to heal? Joyce's answer is simple: grief requires an excavation of self.

In the dictionary, the word "excavation" is an unearthing, uncovering, and revealing of something under the surface. In an archaeological dig, it require exposure, processing and recording of what remains.

So how do we know if we are broken? And if we ARE broken, where do we even begin to process and heal? Is this "excavation of self" even worth it?

The short answer is yes. Let God build back beautiful.

When you become a mom, it leaves no woman as if found her. It unravels her and rebuilds her. It cracks her open, takes her to the very edge of herself. It's both beautiful and brutal at the same time. Being a mom is a round-the-clock job. It’s a big responsibility and also a superpower. From the words of one of today’s guests, “Motherhood is the hardest job you will ever love.” Join us as we chat with two beautiful new mommas (and a baby), about navigating the first weeks and months of motherhood.

In part 2 of "Emotional Rest," we unpack further the decisions we make everyday that deplete our emotional energy. We go all the way back to Adam & Eve, where we see that our decisions can lead us to peace or to turmoil. When we make bad choices, we often hide, confusing it for safety or rest. Hiding drains and separates. Rest energized and rejoins.

We love the peace that comes with a freshly organized space. Our minds are no different. When left unchecked, just like our physical spaces, our minds collect clutter.

According to statistics, the self-improvement market size is expected to reach $14.0 billion by 2025. And the average consumers are women in their 40s. Wow! I’m pretty sure every single one of us has contributed to this statistic… Striving and “hustling” has become a new word in our vocabulary these days. We’ve been there, done that, and gotten the monthly planner, t-shirt, coffee mug and bumper sticker that reminds us to, “Wake, Pray, Slay,” or “Rise & Grind!” But is that really necessary? Or just another trendy way to keep up with the Joneses and distract us from GOD’s way of doing things? On today's episode, we get to chat with one of our favorite powerhouses, Renee Scott, about what it means to strive to “make things happen,” and what happens if don’t. God has taken Renee on a quest to STOP striving and she’s going to share with us in a two part episode— What does it mean to cease striving? How do we get off the hamster wheel? How do we settle in God's provision of rest? Can we trust God to provide if we take a break?

Do visions of planners, vision boards, and highlighters dance in your head? Well, you're not alone.

What if God has a different way? What if we chose to start the year with something so revolutionary... so counterintuitive.... what if we start the year with a resolution to REST?!

How do you respond to failing? How does it make you feel? What do you do next?How do mentally strong people respond when failure happens? What can we learn from them? Join us as we take a very real and personal look at our response to failure and how we can move past it. God created us for so much more, and has given us the ability through the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome.

Episode 12: A Voice for the Addict (w/Sandra Terra, founder of FASFA) 37:24

As we learned in the last episode, deaths from drug overdose have tripled over the last decade. Whether it’s from depression, grief, generational tendencies or bad influences, addiction has been a misunderstood and shameful disease for a very long time. Today we want to help bring a voice to the addict in a very special way. Educating our listeners about not just addiction (because we all know the basic idea), but the deep and impossible stronghold that it has on individuals that sneaks up on them when it’s too late. And what we can do as friends, family and even strangers and onlookers, to change our perspective, put ourselves in the shoes of an addict, and fight for them when they can’t.
