It doesn’t have to be this...2024-02-191h 08

Living Lighter65: Drawing Prayer CirclesAs you likely know, our family is going through a double-family crisis, which has massively impacted my prayer life. Because I’m so focused on prayer during this mega-hard season, I wanted to vulnerably talk about some things I’m learning, things I’m still struggling with, and things I’d love to share to hopefully help strengthen your prayer life, too. ♥️ As Mark Batterson says in his book, Draw the Circle: The 40 Day Prayer Challenge: “If it seems like God isn’t moving in our lives, maybe it’s because we’re not moving.” Here’s a little piece o...2024-02-1221 min

Living Lighter61: Reset Your Daily Habits with Liz BagwellHi friends! Today’s show is a bit different because we had a family emergency, and one of our kids is in the hospital …and will be for a week. 🥺 I had planned to interview my dear friend (podcast host, published scientist … and one of my life coaching clients!)

Living Lighter58: BREATHE Through The Holidays (Breathwork Helps!) with Kiesha YokersDoes your Apple Watch remind you to breathe? How’s your anxiety + stress? I’m so excited to share this conversation with you because not only is it with my BFF of about 25 years, Kiesha Yokers, but also because she teaches us some MASSIVELY HELPFUL breathing exercises that benefit us during every season, especially during the stress of Christmastime. In this conversation, Kiesha and I discuss somatic work and the benefits of breathwork, exploring the concept of soma, which encompasses the body, emotions, and sensations.

Living Lighter57: Loving My Actual Christmas with Alex KuykendallI always enjoy interviewing my real-life friends, and Alex is no exception! In our conversation, she talks about her experiment to relish Christmastime, which turned out to be the perfect way for her to lead her family in slowing down and enjoying every aspect of Advent, even during a year of heaviness. As we discuss her fantastic book, Loving My Actual Christmas, I think the below quote captures it all: “So here we are at the front end of Christmas, and once again, I am determined this year will be different.

Living Lighter56: Advent Conspiracy with Greg HolderIf you’re just so exhausted from all the “stuff” of Christmas: the consumerism, the busy pace, the well…everything of it all. OR if you’re waking up on December 26th and just feel like you “missed it,” you’re going to love today’s episode as Greg Holder and I talk about the movement, Advent Conspiracy. In his book, he mentions “Our hyperconsumption leaves us empty. We worship less. We spend more. We give less.

Living Lighter53: Books I Use For My Morning Quiet TimeSometimes we're in a season where daily quiet time seems unrealistic, or maybe you don't know what to do even if you did have the time ... but other times, we're in a season that just feels different, heavier maybe, and what you've done before doesn't hit right. ♥️ In this episode, I talk about how I've needed to change how I spend my morning quiet time because this season feels a bit unwieldy. And though my quiet time looks a bit different right now, it doesn't diminish it in any way. Listen in as I share how God uses...2023-11-0640 min

Living Lighter50: Wellness Isn't About Rules It's About Mindset with Robin Long Part 2Health can be a soft spot for many people.

Living Lighter49: Wellness Isn't About Rules It's About Mindset with Robin Long Part 1Body image - it is something we all struggle with, right? 🥴 From the time we are young, society (and maybe even those around us) tells us how we *should* look, what we *should* eat, and how we *should* workout.

In this episode, I am sitting down with Robin Long to talk about wellness, mindset, and MORE! ❤️ She is going to make wellness simple + attainable for you. Her goal is for YOU to understand wellness, believe you can live balanced, and help you find ways...2023-10-0240 min

Living Lighter46: The Bittersweet Cycles of MotherhoodHi sweet friend! I don’t know about you, but motherhood has a funny way of making me feel all the feels – sometimes all at once. We recently sent another one of our boys off to college, and our youngest son just started driving. Both are exciting things that also have the potential to turn me into a puddle. Today we’re talking about the emotional cycles we go through as mothers, trying our best to prepare for them, and trusting our children when their time to launch inevitably arrives. In this episode you’ll hear: 2023-09-0441 min

Living Lighter45: Parenting with IntentionIt's back-to-school time! Backpacks are filling up, kids are wearing new shoes, and we are trying so hard to convince them that yes, it is bedtime even though the sun is still streaming through the windows 😂 Time marches on, and after dropping off one of our kids at college this summer I’m feeling that a little more than usual. So today I wanted to talk about intentional parenting and how we can make the most of the brief 18 years we have our kids closest to us. Every family is different, so intentional parenting looks different for everyone. The impor...2023-08-2838 min

Living Lighter42: Fill Your Cup – Take a Vacation!Today we are talking about all things Airbnb! Okay, maybe that caught you off-guard, but this actually lines up perfectly with the concept of Living Lighter because how we present our homes matters. How we open up our homes to others matters. And in order to live lighter, we must unplug, enjoy our families, and go on vacations to replenish our souls and fill up our cups. I’m so excited to share with you about our short-term rental journey (and hopefully answer a few questions you may have as well!) In this episode you’ll he...2023-07-3154 min

Rewire Your Brain: The Peace & Positivity Podcast with Liz BagwellEp 14: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Part 1 with Teresa Swanstrom AndersonHave you ever had a person in your life (or multiple people) who have acted like God’s catalysts that catapulted you lightyears ahead of where you could go on your own? For me, Teresa is that person. She is my life coach; without her- this podcast, my business, it wouldn’t exist yet. Our recording went so long, we broke it into two parts. Enjoy all the wisdom that she brings to the table, our laughs and our tears. She’s an unlikely mom of 6, author, fellow podcaster, entrepreneur, life coach, art history buff and bible study teacher- oh and...2023-07-2645 min

Living Lighter41: The Power of the InvitationIt feels amazing to be invited to something, right? And conversely, it really hurts to feel left out. That’s the power of the invitation, and that’s what we’re talking about on today’s episode. You can’t control whether you get invited or not, but you absolutely can control who you extend an invite to. Imagine what could happen if you invited the new neighbor over for dinner, or that one acquaintance from Bible study to coffee. Who knows? You might just make a new best friend… In this episode you’ll hear: 2023-07-241h 18

Living Lighter40: Weary, Worn, and RemainingSweet friend, can I share with you what’s on my heart? I wanted to give you a fun, lighthearted, “beach read” episode, but what I have for you is a bit deeper than that. Today we’re talking about remaining close to Jesus in the midst of trials and deciding to take joy. And I’m intentionally saying “take joy” instead of “choose joy.” Why? Because I firmly believe that joy is a gift extended to us by Jesus himself – we just have to receive it. I hope this episode encourages you to abide in Christ and find true rest in him.2023-07-1721 min

Living Lighter39: A Little Bit of LevityHi friend! I hope you’re enjoying your summer. This episode is a very casual, very real peek behind the curtain into my life right now.

Living Lighter38: Let's Talk About SabbathI don’t typically use the word “busy,” but let’s face it, life can get BUSY! It can be so difficult to lean into rest on Sundays, especially with Monday looming over you. But what if true Sabbath isn’t restricted to just Sundays? What would it look like for your family to spend intentional time resting together on Saturdays instead? In today’s episode we're digging deeper into Sabbath, and I’d love to hear your thoughts. DM me on Instagram or leave your thoughts in a review! In this episode you’ll hear: 🌀...2023-06-2625 min

Living Lighter37: Let's Reframe Our Thoughts On WaitingHey sweet friend, I hope this week’s episode finds you well. Today I have a super quick (like, literally 2 minutes quick!) encouragement for when you find yourself in a season of waiting, especially if you’re in that season now. Part of living lighter is trusting the Lord’s plan for our lives, even when it’s uncomfortable. What feels like delay may actually be His kindness toward us.

Living Lighter35: If I Were in Your Shoes, I'd Go Straight to GodHey sweet friend. Today I want to share with you how it’s okay for things to not be okay, even as you’re living lighter. You have full permission to be authentic and vulnerable and real – it doesn't mean you’re doing anything wrong. And so that’s exactly what I’m doing today. We all need to take off the mask from time to time and stop pretending everything is okay when it isn’t. Life has looked very different for me lately and maybe it has for you, too. I hope this episode encourages you to live authentic...2023-06-0528 min

Living Lighter26: Reclaiming Ambition & Stepping Into the ArenaDoes the word “ambition” have a negative connotation for you? I know it has for me in the past. But why? Today we’re talking about why we as Christians should totally feel comfortable reclaiming that word. Yes, we need to live lighter – but I’m not talking about “hustle culture” ambition. I’m talking about doing what you love most, and doing it well. As you’ll see in this episode, the Bible clearly tells us to run our race well (and friend, that doesn’t just happen by accident!) We get the opportunity to live our lives to the fullest we ca...2023-03-1319 min

Living Lighter23: A Better Way to Read the BibleWelcome back sweet friend! Today I am so excited to dive deeper into a topic I’m super passionate about: how to study the Bible (not just read it). The reality is that the Bible was not written to us – we are not Israelites living in ancient times! Because of that, we need to take a closer look at the context of Scripture in order to fully understand it. Thankfully there are tons of great commentaries and resources out there today to help us do this, including my Get Wisdom Bible Studies. As we walk through different portions of Scri...2023-02-2029 min

But I hope this episode is a gentle reminder that true rest for your soul is only found in Jesus. Take the time to meet with him, giving him the firstfruits of whatever time you have, and I promise he will meet you there. Friend, I’m so glad you’ve been on this journey with me through the four pillars of L...2023-01-3020 min

Living Lighter20: Living Lighter Series - BodyCan you believe we’re already in week three of this series?! Today we’re chatting about the next pillar of my Living Lighter course: Body. But don’t worry! I am not going to tell you that you have to work out for an hour every single day. While that would be great, the reality is that most of us simply don’t have the time (or, if you’re like me, your body needs different kinds of exercise than it used to). What’s most important is that you treat your body well – meaning good movement, nutrition, hydration, and...2023-01-2334 min

Living Lighter19: Living Lighter Series - MindWelcome back, friend! We’re in week two of a multi-part series about the four pillars of Living Lighter: home, mind, body, and soul. Today’s episode is about happiness, mindset, “shiny object syndrome,” and grit. Do you struggle to appreciate what you do accomplish instead of dwelling on everything you didn’t get done? (Looking at you, Enneagram 1s & 3s 👀) I totally get it. I’ve been there. And let me just say, a simple yet powerful mindset shift can transform your outlook on life. So let’s dive in and learn how to live lighter together! In this episode...2023-01-1615 min

Living Lighter17: Bye Bye, Burnout - Part 2Hey, sweet friend! Welcome to Part 2 of our miniseries on living without burnout. If you’re anything like me, you do ALL the things. I am really good at saying yes instead of no, and I lived in a state of burnout for a full decade (maybe more!) Eventually I realized that the “hot mess mom” culture does not have to be our reality. So as we enter into this new year and a new season, living a life with more margin and more rest, I’m excited to share with you the different strategies and mindset shifts that have rad...2023-01-0218 min

Today we’re kicking off a two-part miniseries on burnout, which is a precursor to a longer series as we enter into the new year. Together we’re figuring out how to disengage from burnout and really step into a life of margin and rest. You and I both know that this fast paced, overwhelmed life is simply not sustainable. To help you work through this, here are the prompts I share at the end of thi...2022-12-2618 min

Today’s episode is a little different because we are diving into Psalm 37 together, so you may want to grab your Bible (totally fine if not, though – you’re welcome to just listen!) If you do want to follow along, head over to your favorite Bible app because we’ll be reading from several different translations. Through the lens of Psalm 37, we will see how failing does not make us a failure in God’s eyes. Whenever we fail, He is right there ready for us to reach out and grab ahold of His outstretched hand.

You may already know that I was recently diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease after years of battling intense pain and migraines without any answers.

Living Lighter09: Enough Really Is Enough: Defining Your “Enough” for TodayDo you ever feel like no matter how how hard you work, it’s never enough? I’ve definitely been there! And here’s the thing: we will never feel like we’ve truly done enough if we do not first define what “enough” actually means. So, what does “enough” look like for you today? Your answer might change in different seasons, but it’s always so important that we let enough be enough and give ourselves permission to rest. Here are some questions to help you do this practically: Define what “enough” means to you. What are your n...2022-11-0718 min

Living Lighter07: Time is Elastic – How You Can Stretch It to Hold Your PrioritiesWhat if I told you that you have 168 hours to spend every single week? Although that may feel impossible, it’s true! In fact, even after subtracting 56 hours for sleep and 40-50 hours for work, that still leaves over 60 expendable hours each week. So why do we feel like we’re spread so thin? Why don’t we ever seem to have time for the things we want to do? It all depends on how you plan to spend those free hours. Time is elastic – we stretch it to hold the things that matter most in the moment. So if the w...2022-10-2420 min

Living Lighter06: Why Not You? Being Called, Qualified, and Living a Life of “And”It can be so easy on the difficult days to disqualify yourself – believe me, I’ve been there a time or two (or three!) But friends, we are not disqualified. Today we look at Rahab’s story and how God called and qualified her, even though she was probably the last person anyone would have chosen to be written into the lineage of Jesus. Like Rahab, we can choose boldness in place of the most broken parts of our story. The world needs more women who choose a life of “and,” speaking authentically about how they’re really doing and sharing...2022-10-1725 min

Living Lighter04: Maximize the Most Important Hour of Your DayHow do we set ourselves up for success each evening so we can enjoy a more productive tomorrow? And not just a day that's productive but happier, lighter, and more joy-filled? The key is how you spend the hour before you go to bed.

Maybe it’s trying a totally new style or visiting a brand new place… for me, it was dying my hair pink. I remember sitting in the chair of my hairstylist of 10 years, lamenting the fact that I’d “missed my window” for a bright pop of color. She looked me straight in the eyes and told me: “Stop being timid.” Those words completely shifted my perspective, and now I’ve had pink hair for years! Whatever is in your heart that you’ve been too afraid t...2022-09-2616 min
