Steve Preston is the CEO of Goodwill Industries. Though Goodwill is known for big stores where people can donate clothes and buy them secondhand, those stores are just the first level of what Goodwill Industries are about. Those stores fund an international organization that provides job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment. Steve joins Jay to discuss the ways Goodwill Industries support veterans and individuals who lack job experience, an education, or face employment challenges, such as those people who are formerly incarcerated.

Self-Love is Sacred: How to See Yourself Through God’s Eyes with Dorothy-Inez 1:02:41

7 weeks ago1:02:41

1:02:41

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and doubted your worth—this episode is your divine reset. In this energizing episode, Ashley Iduda introduces Dorothy Inez, a holistic confidence coach and sound healer. Dorothy shares her journey from the corporate world to becoming a self-love advocate and confidence coach. They discuss the sacred nature of self-love, healing the worthiness wound, and the power of sound healing. The conversation is filled with Holy Spirit moments and personal revelations, emphasizing the importance of aligning one's mind, body, and spirit with God's word. Dorothy also shares her personal struggles with confidence, her healing journey, and the transformative impact of understanding one's divine purpose. This is a truly powerful episode that will encourage you to reclaim your authentic self and shine as the women God created you to be. This episode is for you if… You’ve ever felt like you’re "not enough"- no matter how much you achieve. You’re tired of surface-level "self-care" advice and crave soul-deep transformation. You’re a Christian woman who struggles to reconcile faith with self-worth . You’ve battled shame, people-pleasing, or feeling unworthy of love. You’re curious about sound healing, energy work, or holistic faith but worry it’s "too woo-woo." You’re over 40 (or any age!) and need a courage boost to pivot into your purpose. You want to see yourself the way God sees you- but don’t know how to start. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Self-Love is Sacred – True self-love isn’t just bubble baths; it’s about honoring God’s creation (you!) and aligning your worth with His truth. Your Confidence Struggle is Normal (Even for Coaches!) – Dorothy admits she still battles self-doubt in some areas—proof that confidence is a journey, not a destination. The "Worthiness Wound" is Real – Many women overwork, people-please, or shrink themselves because they’re trying to prove their value. Healing starts when you receive God’s love unconditionally. Sound Healing is Science + Spirit – Vibration therapy isn’t "woo-woo"—it’s a tool God gave us (like music or prayer) to release trauma and restore energy. You’re Never Too Old to Pivot – Dorothy left corporate at 40 to pursue purpose. Your dreams don’t expire! "When I Show Up, God Shows Up" – Your presence matters. You’re made of stardust —designed to reflect God’s light in your unique way. Break the BS Belief Systems – Negative self-talk? That’s criticizing God’s masterpiece. Replace lies with Scripture: You are chosen, loved, and enough. Alignment = Freedom – Peace comes when your mind (thoughts), body (health), and spirit (faith) sync with God’s Word.

Unshackled: How I Broke Free From Shame (And How You Can Too) 42:21

10 weeks ago42:21

42:21

Have you ever felt trapped by self-doubt, shame, or the weight of labels the world puts on you? In this raw and revelatory solo episode, Ashley Iduda opens up about her decade-long struggle with identity—from denying her creativity as a makeup artist to feeling like an "imposter" as a stay-at-home mom. She shares how a transformative encounter with God’s love shattered her chains of insecurity and helped her finally see herself as His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10). Through personal stories—like her journey to New York City, battling shame, and even a startling revelation about "devil pigs"—Ashley uncovers the lies that hold women back and offers biblical truths to reclaim your God-given identity. If you’ve ever felt "not enough" or wondered what it truly means to be beautiful from the inside out , this episode is your invitation to freedom. Key Takeaways: 1. Beauty from the Inside Out Core Mission: Why Ashley’s podcast exists—helping women root their identity in Christ so their inner light radiates outward. 2. You Are God’s Masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10) Truth: The Greek word poema reveals we’re God’s "workmanship"—His intentional, beautiful creation. Reflection Question: How would your life shift if you fully believed you were a divine work of art? 3. Identity Isn’t Found in Roles or Achievements Lie vs. Truth: Labels like "mom" or "career" don’t define your worth. Ashley’s shame over "quitting" makeup artistry kept her stuck for years. Challenge: What roles or past mistakes are you letting define you? 4. Childlike Wonder vs. Adult Shame Contrast: The unfiltered joy of children vs. the lies adults believe. Exercise: Reconnect with what lit you up as a child (art, dirt, dancing)—it may reveal your God-given purpose. 5. Breaking Free from Fear & Shame Ashley’s Journey: From self-doubt ("I’m not creative enough") to courage (moving to NYC for makeup school). Hard Truth: Shame grows in silence; freedom comes when you confront it. 6. The "Devil Pig" Principle Spiritual Insight: Seer Micah Turnbo's startling revelation—negative self-talk feeds darkness. Action Step: Replace "I’m ugly/stupid" with "I am loved, chosen, and God’s handiwork." Mentioned in This Episode: Scripture: Ephesians 2:10, Genesis 1:31 Mentor: Crystal Wright (makeup career coach) https://www.instagram.com/crystalwrightlive/?hl=en Teachings: Micah Turnbo on spiritual warfare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv38VYhvERw **************SAVE THE DATE free workshop:💄 Designed to Glow ( April 29) for Biblical teaching on self-worth, skincare & makeup demo.
