If you're like me you find yourself being more annoyed with the people around you instead of being appreciative. When I agreed to have Dr. Satia on the show I don't think I expected to have such a shift in my thinking of what I can do to combat that.

If you can relate then please join us in this inspiring episode of Rise and Climb as I chat with Dr. Satia, the visionary behind the Thank You Project.

Over 52 weeks, she took on the challenge of sending a heartfelt thank you note to a different coworker each week. Satia opens up about her journey, sharing the life-changing lessons she learned along the way and how expressing gratitude can transform lives.

Discover the profound impact of uplifting others and the personal rewards that come from recognizing the contributions of those around you. Tune in to explore how gratitude can elevate both personal and professional relationships!

Check out this YouTube video Dr. Satia shared with me that puts a nice end cap to the conversation: youtube.com/watch?v=oHv6vTKD6lg

In this episode of the Rise & Climb Podcast, I sit down with author, Tammy Borden, to talk about her book Waltraud - the true story of her mother's childhood growing up in Nazi Germany.

Tammy shares what inspired her to put her mother's story into words, how the process deepend her own understanding of resilience and faith, and what she discovered along the journe of self-publishing.

Whther you're curious about writing, history, or simply the strength it takes to rise about hard circumstances, this conversation will leave you both challenged and encouraged!

Do you want to grow in your relationship with God or grow in your faith? Do you want to learn how to read the bible and study it with your spouse? This episode is all about honest reflection. We’re walking through Mark 14 and Philippians 3, asking: Are we really following Jesus, or just living a safe, polished Christian life? From altar calls to personal convictions—like Michael writing a book and Anna stepping into church ministry—we’re processing it all out loud and inviting you to do the same.We talk about convictions, and what it means to move beyond just ‘being a good Christian' and actually live a Christian life or impact!

Continue the unfolding of what God is up to in the mountains of Appalachia as one former Wisconsinite talks with another Wisconsinite about how God has moved in our hearts to love on the people of WNC and Hurricane Helene relief work.

Per usual, don't mind the audio...you may have to adjust. I assure you, when Michael and I sleep more in 10 years, we will be able to better tackle this. 🤪

Join us as we re-cap our trip back from WNC.

We are planning on starting a few funds to help with a few projects:

1. Food ministry (to continue providing hot meals for relief workers)

2. Thanksgiving meals

3. Christmas gifts for kids

4. Propane/Gas exchange

5. House rebuilding

6 days before Michael and I were supposed to head to UT for our first anniversary trip in 3 years the Lord had something else in mind.

Within 12 hours of getting the idea of changing our anniversary plans to going to WNC to help with the hurricane relief efforts God had opened all the doors and even started gently guiding our hearts to accept the call.

We did NOT want to cancel our trip, BUT GOD.

Come along as we journey to WNC. Literally. We are on the road, driving down to serve the wonderful people of Pensacola, NC. Michael shares how the Lord convicted him and my nephew shares how God led him down as well.

Stay tuned because the next episode is debriefing on the way home!

A few months ago I was re-reading 1 Corinthians 12 and decided it was time to have author of Navigate and co-author of Walk In Your Gift, Ben Lenz back on the show.

What always stands out is the importance of knowing your strengths and weaknesses and how this can be huge in helping us not compare ourselves to others or feel shame about who we are.

Pardon the mmhmmm's from me, this season of life has been a bit busy and my interviewing skills got a bit rusty. Stick along, I promise it is worth it!
