Strongher Podcast

This month’s theme is centered around reclaiming home. Reclaiming home can feel like a monumental task when we approach it as an endless to-do list. Don’t underestimate the power of small things. How can we just get started, so we can start to see success in the small things? In episode 32 of the StrongHerMe podcast, we discuss how seemingly small things can have great impact and what to do when you get discouraged by how small your resources are in comparison to what you want to accomplish it.

For lasting transformation you need an appreciation of how God has wired you and why it matters. The message of "you are stronger than you think" came to the surface near the end of a season of anger, fear, shame, guilt, anxiety, resentment and disappointment. I realize now, only in hindsight, that I was grieving. I was grieving the loss of re

As we focus on living a well done life this last quarter of 2017, I realized how we see ourselves often impacts our choices. The quote "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" is sometimes painfully true in our generation. This month I continue the conversation we started with Pat Patterson in episode 17: Your Self Esteem DNA. If you ever struggle with loving your life and loving yourself, episode 17 and today's podcast will help you start moving towards a healthier perspective. After I heard today's guest, Ginger Ciminello speak at a retreat she hosted, I knew I had to add her to my list of mentor friends. Her passion for scripture and her gift of storytelling make you want to spend more time reading God's word for yourself. Ginger is wise and vulnerable and transparent about a hard season of her life when she kept an eating disorder hidden from friends and family. She also shares how God has taken her love of theater and help her step in

As we focus on living a well done life this last quarter of 2017, I realized how we see ourselves often impacts our choices. The quote "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" came to mind as I was interviewing 2 guests for this month's podcast. During our interview, Patricia Patterson, my first guest on the topic of self esteem, mentioned this idea of a "self esteem DNA". She explains what she means by that in this episode of the StrongHer podcast. I would love to hear your thoughts over on the blog or leave a comment on the post for this podcast episode on Instagram at @strongherme. Patricia (P.A.) Patterson is an ordained and licensed minister. She is the co-founder (along with her husband, Bill) of Saturation Saturday Ministries with God’s vision to inspirationally and dynamically teach the Word of God in tandem with the move of the Holy Spirit.

Khalilah is one of the most bold and unapologetic people I know. She lives her life with courage and that's one of the many things I love about her. Like all of us, she's experienced many ups and downs on her path to purpose. I couldn't think of a better person to talk to about this topic than her. This episode will encourage and inspire you to live your life with gratitude, joy and excitement, even when your path looks different than expected.
