I’m re-releasing this 2017 episode because Eryn Lynum will be returning with a five-year update. Next week you’ll hear how her dream has changed (significantly in some ways and not so much in others). Give this re-release a listen to see where she’s come from, especially if publishing a book could be part of your dream. Then, come back next week to hear what’s changed in wildly beautiful ways since Eryn and I last spoke.
252 || Do You Need to Add More Playfulness to Your Dream or Your Parenting? || Joy Wendling
How do you Live out God’s Dream for Your Life Even When You Have Imposter Syndrome? I often encounter and encourage women who face imposter syndrome. They feel unqualified and inadequate to share the message God has given them to share with others. That’s why I’m excited for this conversation with Joy Wendling to bring to life ways we can trust God with what he has given to us to share, even when we feel unqualified.
089 || How to Loosen Your Grip on Your Dream || Kristi Hayes
Kristi Hayes’ greatest desire is to influence and inspire families to go into the vulnerable places and serve others. In this episode, she shares about how her business, Be Strong Story, was born and the years prior in which God taught her to hold loosely to her dreams. You will be inspired to work hard at your dream but also to check yourself for clues that you’re gripping it too tightly. You will learn Kristi’s bold but simple strategy to find a mentor and the value of obedience, even if you can’t see the rewards right away.
054 || How She Got Her Book Published Even with a Small Platform || Eryn Lynum
Eryn Lynum lives in Northern Colorado with her husband and three boys, where they spend their time hiking, camping, and exploring the Rocky Mountains. Her work and passion is to come alongside of authors and help them market the message God has laid on their hearts. She loves to travel and share at conferences, churches, and writers’ groups. But every opportunity she gets, she is out exploring God’s creation with her family.
As the author of 936 Pennies: Discovering the Joy of Intentional Parenting, available in February of 2018, Eryn talks about the shift towards intentional parenting that happened when she and her husband were faced with the reality that they have only 936 weeks – from birth to 18 – with each of their three boys.
044 || God Surprised Her With This Dream || Rachel Swanson
Rachel Swanson is a dental hygienist turned author and speaker. Her book, Big and Little Coloring Devotional (released in LifeWay stores, April 2017), was birthed by her own struggle to keep it together as a busy mama of three children under two years old. A rising inspirational speaker, Rachel shares personal and spiritual growth insights related to encouraging moms in motherhood, helping women discover their unique purpose in Christ, understanding God’s design for healthy sexuality, and overcoming stress and anxiety in their lives. Rachel has been married ten years to her husband who loves her despite her love for coffee and often impulsive nature. They rear their tribe of identical twin boys, their baby girl, and a Weimaraner who thinks she's a human.
