Consistency and the laws of the universe are like the unbreakable rules that govern everything around us. Picture them as the bossy bosses of the universe, telling everything how to behave.

This conversation stemmed from a phrase my grandpa Glen Stratton always said: “Don’t forget how great you is.” This is something that has always stuck with me. At times when you need to tap into your strength, remember that your greatness is something that fulfills you, gives you confidence, and allows you to live up to your talents and gifts. What are you compromising on that’s keeping you from being great? Here’s a personal example: I love having fake nails, but I can’t play the instr...

Going DutchWords Create Your FutureIn Christianity, God created everything spiritually first and then physically. What does that mean? How do we spiritually create something? It’s through thought, but God also uses words. That’s how the world was created. Have you ever considered how you were created? I believe He created us in His image, and we’re here to be like Him. To learn, grow, experience, fail, get back up, and try again. Just as the earth, we’ve also been created by God using words. With that, take a second and think about how powerful words can be...

Going DutchSelf CareIn today’s episode, I want to talk about how depletion invites the darkness, how to fight it, and how to bring in the light. When I spoke to my coach Keira earlier this week about all the great things happening in my life recently, we talked about how I still felt exhausted and low. She told me “depletion invites the darkness.” I had heard this before. It reminded me of taking our kids to the USS Midway Museum and seeing a sign that said “if you take care of the ship, she will take care of you.”

Going DutchFEAR NOTIn today’s episode, I want to talk about some things I have touched on in past episodes as well as some new messages. When my son was at boot camp, I wanted to give him strength to continue to go through his training. I sent him a verse from the Book of 2 Kings 6: “FEAR NOT: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.” The story of Elisha resonates so much right now. There is so much chaos and fear that reaching across is just going to give you more o...

Going DutchPurpose to PeaceI have learned that when you lean into your purpose, despite doubts and imperfections, that purpose gives you passion. It gives you excitement and makes you feel alive. There is peace in purpose. You can know that you are aligned with God and His purpose for you. It isn’t always a comfortable place, but there is peace in it. If you are struggling, I urge you to get the darkness out. Whether it’s on paper or talking to someone you can rely on. If you keep it in, it will consume you. Until you speak it...

Going DutchRebuilding Your Relationship with Guest Aaron DutcherIn today’s episode, I’m continuing my discussion about rebuilding our relationship with my husband Aaron Dutcher. Our main focus is about shifting perspectives, looking for positives, and embracing the God-given gift of agency. Whenever you tell people that you got divorced, or that you got married again, the focus is always on the negative. Both of these things are seen as failures when they should be seen as positives. The tendency to focus on the negative should be shifted. Come from a place of love and abundance, and look at where you are, knowing it is w...

Going DutchRebuilding Your RelationshipIn today’s episode, I am joined by my husband Aaron Dutcher. This podcast is partially named for him, so today I wanted to explain what Going Dutch means to me. Aaron speaks about his tips for rebuilding relationships and we both discuss the way in which partnering with God led us back to each other. For me, Going Dutch has many meanings. To most people, it means going it alone in some way. I tried that. I went it alone in our marriage and I went it alone as a single woman. Now, Going Dutch reminds me...

Going DutchComparison-Thief of JoyIn today’s episode, I want to talk about a topic that is very difficult for me. I’ve been resisting it. I want to tell you about my beautiful friend Julee Brady, other women in my life, and how I realized that comparison was making me the robber of my own happiness. I have a bad habit of comparing myself to the amazing women in my life. I would think that if I could just have what they have, I would be happy. I can testify to you now that that thinking is wrong. It doesn’t matt...

Going DutchSpiritual GiftsIn today’s episode, I have been called to share a message of power and strength with you. A message that will help you re-connect with your divine purpose and find your spiritual gifts. These gifts aren’t wrapped, they aren’t tangible, and they can’t be bought. These gifts are already yours, divinely appointed by God. Let me tell you how I came to find my spiritual gifts. I had a wonderful childhood, filled with family. My parents married young and divorced when I was 5. I lived with my mom and her parents as she went bac...

Going DutchReach Up Not AcrossIn today’s episode, I want to share messages from my heart, given to me from God. I want to talk about how to overcome your struggles and help you understand that you are not alone. When you open yourself up to receive a hand up from God, you are open to do anything without fear. In 2012, as a single mom of 5 kids, I was so scared of being alone. Even though there is so much support for single mothers, I felt unsupported. I would pray every night for help to get me through the next day. It...
