No One Told MeWhat Shouldn’t (And Should) Hold You Back + Learning To Live Comfortably In Your Calling/GiftingWe've all been there. Seriously, all of us. We find something that stirs us up, makes us want to run in a specific direction - but then we start pumping the brakes as we think about what someone else might say/think/do in response to our decisions. Or maybe someone makes a comment in passing that shakes every ounce of confidence we worked so hard to build.

So how do we train our hearts and thoughts to recognize feelings without letting them dictate our everyday?

No One Told MeIt’s Time We Learn to Handle PressureThe stress related to pressures can, over time, lead to physical manifestations and slowly start to impact mental and emotional stability.

Many of us don't take the time to create, implement and sustain healthy practices for navigating inevitable pressure. Growth has a tendency of happening under pressure. Not always, but pretty often.

That’s a direct quote I say to my husband every two months or so when he tells me we have too much going on. It’s a pattern. Every time I do the work to take something away, I add something in. My pastor actually just said it this way, “If you’re going to add, you have to subtract.”2020-09-1448 min

No One Told Me…An Interview With Phylicia MasonheimerInstead of releasing an episode specific to right now, the chaos of work life led me to pull from the reserves. And what I came out with was an interview with Phylicia Masonheimer. Even though it was recorded at the end of February, it’s almost eerie how relevant it is right now. So much of what we talked about matters even more now. Here’s my conversation with Phylicia Masonheimer.2020-04-0636 min
No One Told MeDid Anyone Tell You: At Home EditionWho are we going to be on the other side of all of this? Everyone will have a different story to tell...but our perspective through it will probably help shape our perception after it. I found myself getting a little too lost in the news and stats of it all, so I decided this week, we'd all take a breath. Sit and talk a little bit with some of our No One Told Me favorites, Kaley and Khari. We'll talk about what we're learning about ourselves right now, who we think we'll be on the other side, the intense...2020-03-3039 min

No One Told Me…Listener QuestionsTwo of NOTM’s originals are back again today. We’ve had some incredible guests over the past few months, but it felt right to bring some NOTM family in to talk about the realities of life. What our 20's feel like vs our 30's aka listening to everyone’s opinion as fact vs learning to comb through what actually applies to you. Then we go into listener questions that, honestly, were just a good time. Here’s No One Told Me: Listener Questions.2020-03-0946 min
No One Told Me…With Gina McClainToday’s conversation is for anyone who tries hard to prove themselves, for anyone who wants to step toward what God has called them to, for anyone who leads or will lead in the future, for anyone who wants to empower those coming behind you. I hit record with the plan to prep her for the interview but our conversation started rolling immediately. Forget the get-to-know-you part, Gina started speaking encouragement into my heart from the moment the call started. And I think she’ll do the same for you. Here's No One Told Me With Gina McClain.2020-03-0243 min
No One Told Me…With Erin MoonMy conversation with Erin Moon revolved around actively and intentionally making decisions. We talk about a hard season for her family that required continually trusting the decision they made, we talk boundaries with our screens and, most importantly, Erin talks about Lent. It's probably one of the most intentional seasons we can step into. Here's No One Told Me With Erin Moon.2020-02-2446 min
No One Told Me…What Over Thirty Years Of Marriage Teaches YouBefore they moved away, I made a point to sit down and tell this couple the influence they had on my life simply because I was in close proximity to them so regularly. A big part of how I view marriage came from spending time in the home of Mr. David and Mrs. Cheri. Listen...is it weird that I’m grown and still referring to them by a title and their first name? Absolutely. But I can’t shake it. It’s a southern thing and it honestly feels absurd to be on a first name basis with them, so I j...2020-02-1748 min
No One Told Me…Love Means Giving Without ExpectationsWe are influencing everyone who engages with us. For good or for bad. Over the next few weeks, you’ll hear from some of the couples who influenced me the most. Who taught me, without really meaning to, what healthy relationships look like. These are people I admire and love. And I think you will, too. First, is a couple who has taught me what generosity and thoughtfulness practically look like. I learned the art of finding middle ground and choosing to keep giving more in seasons you don’t really feel like it. This all came from my friends Jimm...2020-02-1050 min
No One Told Me…I’d Marry My Best FriendThe only way to kick off a month of relationships is handing over the mic to my husband Ryan for an episode highlighting the ups and downs of long-distance, if you know you know, and what we wish someone would’ve told us about the married life. Here is No One Told Me I'd Marry Best Friend.2020-02-0345 min
No One Told MeDid Anyone Tell You? – January EditionI sit before you three TWO HOUR episodes in and I still fully don’t get The Bachelor. I had to dive deeper into the backstory of it all. How are they really making this work? What are the facts that no one is thinking about when they watch this...whatever this is? Which leads me to my next topic...healthy relationships. We’re talking about them all throughout the month of February with couples who played a part in shaping my view of relationships. We’ll start next Monday. But before we get there, let’s finish talking about the thin...2020-01-2735 min
No One Told Me…with Courtney Cleveland from All The Best DaysCourtney Cleveland hosts a podcast, All The Best Days, where she goes looking for the best day in every city. The goal here is learn how to take smaller bites out of travel. We’re not going for a week at a time; what if we traveled more but for less amounts of time? She highlights her favorite cities for quick trips, the trips to take when you’re broke and the ones to take when you’re doin' alright. The ones to take kids, the ones to go on when you’re single and the ones for just marrieds. We talk...2020-01-2057 min
No One Told Me…The Art Of Setting BoundariesI like the word yes way more than I like the word no. Saying no makes my stomach turn and my mind jumps about 10 steps ahead, ending in believing whoever I've just said no to has ex-communicated me from their lives as a whole. The word "boundary" sounds so final, doesn't it? It sounds like a punishment. But I'm getting older - and while the retinol is doing its best to delay those effects physically - I'm comfortable with the effects of it emotionally and mentally. Age has given me perspective. So, as we get into the heart of January...2020-01-131h 02
No One Told MeDid Anyone Tell You? – December EditionLet’s take a look back at the year with our friends Khari and Kaley in our last Did Anyone Tell You of 2019.2019-12-1635 min
No One Told Me…Grief Is HealingI don’t understand grief or loss. Pain that is triggered by a song, street, place as a memory you thought you’d stuffed down suddenly shoots to the front of your mind. I don’t think we’ll understand it in this life. But I know we’ll experience it. All of us. And something about the holidays stirs up those memories, subtlety forcing us to live what we just want to forget. I asked my friend Don Wilson to sit down with us again because this subject requires someone who has walked through it and directed others in it. Here’s...2019-12-0932 min
No One Told Me…How To Stop Believing The LiesWhat lie are you believing? Do you know how to silence it? Do you know how to take Scripture and use it as a shield from the parts of the world aiming to devalue you? I love this conversation with Gretchen Saffles, creator of Well Watered Women. Here’s No One Told Me How To Stop Believing The Lies.2019-12-0246 min
No One Told Me…I Get To Decide What My Holidays Are LikeThe story of the holiday season: We scroll and see the best and we feel like the worst. So this year, I’m laying down some boundaries. Some standards we Hollands are going to live by. Hopefully. Until I see someone with a well-placed ‘Welcome Santa’ on their front porch and demand we turn our front yard into a poor man’s Dollywood. But, until then, these are the things I will and will not do this holiday season and I’m bringing the person you want along with you on any new venture - our friend Brooke. Here’s No One Told...2019-11-2534 min
No One Told MeDid Anyone Tell You?We've lost the art of small talk. Our phones have robbed us of the ability to make idle conversation. So, today, we’re going to help with that. Whether it’s storing up information to keep the conversation going at the Thanksgiving dinner table or just having something to talk about at the copier..these Did Anyone Tell You episodes are here to give you some entertainment and some information you didn’t know you wanted. Here’s the rundown on Dolly, the Christmas holidays and Disney+.2019-11-1846 min
No One Told Me…I’m Not AloneYour burdens aren't yours alone to carry. Sometimes, we struggle to let loose of the control we're white knuckle gripping in our hands. But Jesus never wanted that for us. Here's No One Told Me I'm Not Alone.2019-11-1118 min
No One Told Me…I Can Change The Way I Think About FoodSome people forget to eat and some people plan every single meal down to the mashed cauliflower with cheese substitute sprinkled on top. I’ve fallen in both categories. Our relationship with food, good or bad, runs over into much of our lives. But what if we stopped looking at food with the mindset of good or bad, healthy or unhealthy. Maybe this topic doesn’t necessarily strike a chord with you but I would be willing to guarantee someone in your life struggles with their view of food and, in turn, their view of themselves. This mindset we’re talkin...2019-11-0437 min
No One Told Me…About International AdoptionHave you ever felt like you should definitely do something, made a huge decision, threw yourself into uncertainty because you knew it was the right thing...and then nothing? It didn’t immediately work out. Whatever your expectations were became distant dreams but you still knew it was the right thing. For Michael and Heather, that’s what their journey into international adoption has been. Lots of hope, lots of disappointment, but a confidence along the way that made putting one foot in front of the other always the right thing to do. From closing adoption agencies, to slow paperwork, to m...2019-10-2839 min
No One Told Me…How To Step Into A CallingWhen I get to record some episodes, I feel almost like I need to write down every word that’s said because I want to remember it. This is one of those episodes. My friend, Heather, put a voice to a lot of the lessons I’ve learned, but need to be reminded of - and a whole lot more that I need to learn. Here’s No One Told Me How To Step Into A Calling.2019-10-2140 min
No One Told Me…How The Enneagram Can Change MeThis episode will go down as one of my favorites. It’s honest. And my goodness if I didn’t have a personal revelation about halfway through; t’s like you’re going to be sitting in on a therapy session. This is one of the most substantial conversations I’ve had about the power of the Enneagram to help navigate life. I pulled in the reason I even got interested in the Enneagram, Kaley is back with us, and then we pulled in the reason she got interested...Hannah. This is only the second time I’ve gotten to spend time w...2019-04-2948 min
No One Told MeDid Anyone Tell You?I can’t watch E! News every night and I miss half the headlines in the morning news because I’m trying to get pants on someone so we can leave the house. Since this is a podcast to make sure you’re informed on well, life, I think it’s time we start a new segment called Did Anyone Tell You? Once a month we’ll gather up some of our favorite things we’ve heard about and share them with you. We’ll at least feel relevant when someone asks if we’ve heard Britney Spears is bringing a musical to Bro...2019-04-0147 min
No One Told Me…What The Enneagram Actually MeansAlright, so really, how many times have you heard or read the word enneagram in the past six months? Whether you have a vague knowledge or you’ve researched all there is about your number - this particular episode is for you. I feel like “what’s your number?” is our generation’s replacement for “what’s your sign?”.
My friend Kaley isn’t necessarily an expert in the enneagram but she’s the reason I even heard about it to begin with. And I’ve seen what a huge tool it has been in self-discovery in her own life over the past yea...2019-01-0757 min
