  • Menopause - You're Not Alone...PART 2
    Jun 25 2026

    If you joined us for Part 1 of our conversation on menopause, thanks for coming back. And if this is your first time with us...pull up a chair. We're so glad you're here.

    One thing we've discovered is that when women start talking honestly about what's happening with their health, something amazing happens—we realize we're not the only ones. So many of us have thought, "Is this just me?" or "Why didn't anyone tell me this?"

    That's exactly why we're having this conversation.

    Here on Keepin' It Real, we're going to keep it real about our health, too. We're laughing through some of it, learning through all of it, and reminding each other that there is absolutely no shame in asking questions or sharing our experiences.

    Whether you're driving to work, folding laundry, walking the dog, or just needing a friend for a little while—we're grateful you're here. We hope every episode reminds you that you are seen, valued, and never walking alone.

    So settle in... because today we're talking about navigating the changes, finding what helps, and, maybe most importantly, discovering there is still so much to look forward to.

    Keepin' It Real Question

    What is one thing you've started to do in this season that is helping you feel more like yourself?

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • The moment many of us realize our bodies have changed.
    • Why exhaustion isn't something we can always "push through" anymore.
    • Learning to listen to what our bodies are telling us instead of fighting them.
    • How paying attention to our emotional well-being is just as important as caring for our physical health.
    • The practical things we're trying that are helping us feel stronger, healthier, and more like ourselves again.
    • And best of all...why menopause isn't the end of something beautiful—it can actually be the beginning of a season filled with wisdom, confidence, freedom, and purpose.

    Because while our bodies may change...our purpose doesn't.

    So grab your favorite drink, pull up a chair, and join the conversation. We think you'll leave encouraged...and maybe even excited about what's ahead.

  • Hot Flashes, Hormones & Holding On...Keepin it real about menopause
    Jun 14 2026

    Menopause. The season where you can walk into a room and forget why you're there, need a sweater and a fan at the exact same time, and cry over a commercial about puppies...all before lunch.

    In this episode of Keepin' It Real, we tackle the often hilarious, sometimes frustrating, and very real journey of menopause. From hot flashes and brain fog to sleep struggles, changing bodies, and shifting emotions, we're talking about the things women whisper about, but rarely discuss openly.

    We'll share stories, laughter, encouragement, and a reminder that this season doesn't mean you're losing yourself. In many ways, it can be the beginning of discovering a stronger, wiser, and more confident version of who God created you to be.

    Whether you're in the middle of menopause, approaching it, or supporting someone who is, pull up a chair and join the conversation. You're not alone—and yes, someone else is carrying a fan in her purse too.

    Listen for the Keepin' it Real Question in this episode, and email us and tell us about your answer! We'd love to hear from you!

    Scripture Encouragement:

    "Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you." — Isaiah 46:4

    Because while hormones may change, God's faithfulness never does.

  • Holding On To Hope : When our children are struggling and we feel powerless
    May 29 2026

    There may be nothing harder than watching someone you love make choices you know could hurt them. Especially when it’s your child. Whether they’re little or fully grown, the ache can feel the same… the sleeplessness, the prayers, the wondering, and the hope that refuses to completely let go.

    In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, we talk honestly about how to hold on to faith when things feel painfully out of our hands.

    We unpack the story of the prodigal son and the powerful reminder that the father let him go.

    We discuss what it means to “unblend” our lives emotionally, remembering that our children belong to God first before they were ever entrusted to us.

    And we talk about hope. The kind that keeps praying. The kind that stands at the window, believing God is still writing the story. Because mama bear prayers? They matter more than we know.

    Keepin’ It Real Question:
    Have you ever had to love someone who was making choices you knew could hurt them, but you felt completely powerless to help?
