Feeling Scattered? Reclaim 40% of Your Time (Podcast, Coaching & Life Update)

Published 6 months ago • 3 min read

Hey friend!

Welcome to September. I'm always amazed at how quickly the summer fades away. Sweltering southern heat retreats to the emergent blossoms of mums and pumpkin spice "everything." In these moments, I find myself grasping at every ounce of sunshine before it fades. I imagine what it would be like to store it in a vault. But alas, I cannot and I surrender to the changing of the guard.

Also, I've been on a bit of a faith journey this month as we've navigated hard things. In each moment of loss, I find myself being pulled deeper into the forest behind our house. From the picture above, I'm sure you can understand why.

After almost 50 years of navigating this thing called "life", I've realize that when our faith and dreams quake, there is an anchor in the magnificence of nature that continues to declare the great majesty of God. One only needs to stand at the edge of the raging sea or to scale a mountain peak to realize how little we control the elements of this world. At times we can only stand in reverence of it. As in the book of Job, I am reminded of my place in the world.

Because of that journey, the podcast is a little late in launching this month. I also wanted to share a quick note to tell you how much we appreciate your prayers and support.

And I started writing again. More on that later. I sent my first 3 chapters off to the developmental editor for her feedback! So prayers for that new adventure would be appreciated. (May God be the glory).

Enough about us. With that, we'll dive into this month's first podcast episode. Don't miss the notes at the bottom about my new 90-minute Clarity Strategy calls that I'm offering exclusively to podcast listeners and email newsletter subscribers.

Also, I hope this episode brings you tools and techniques that I use to help other leaders stop the spin in their daily life and find clarity and focus!

Enjoy my friends!

What's Coming Up This Month?

New Podcast Episodes: Later this month, I'll be sharing a conversation with my husband, Mark about our founder and faith journey with Synwave — the risks, the calling, and the choices that shape our startup.

Don't forget! Promise Over Purpose turns 1! A year ago, this book was released to guide readers in shifting from chasing purpose to embracing God’s promises. If you haven’t yet experienced the peace and perspective it offers, now’s a perfect time to start. Here’s to living fully in His promises!

Pause & Reflect:

Today, take a moment today to ask yourself:

  1. What’s the one priority that will make the biggest difference in my life or work this week?
  2. Where am I letting distractions or “tab switching” steal my focus?
  3. What is one small step I can take right now to reclaim clarity and lead with intention?

Write down your answers. Even small insights can guide big changes.

P.S. If you’re navigating change or feeling a little stuck, let’s take the next step together. Take the FREE Leadership Clarity Quiz — it’s a great way to discover what’s standing in the way of your clarity — and get a personalized action step to reset your leadership rhythms.

P.S.S. Enjoy every moment of your beautiful, messy, sometimes heartbreaking life!

Some of us are carrying more than we can name. We lead, love, serve, and show up — and somewhere in all of it, we lose sight of ourselves.I write for the faith-driven soul who needs a mirror more than a map. Weekly, I'll sit with you in the middle of the weight you're carrying — and help you see it clearly.

Hey friend, When I close my eyes, I sometimes imagine Jesus standing in the middle of my driveway. We have a long, winding gravel path that leads to the main road. Our home is nestled off the street, hidden behind a swath of pine trees. From the road, the view is unclear. But as you inch down the path, our house comes into view. When I think about Jesus drawing me near, I see Him just at the edge of the bend. I walk out to meet Him. And He waits for me. As I reach Him, I lay my head upon His...

Hey friend, For almost 30 years, I served alongside the U.S. military. In that season, I learned something that surprised me: true strength doesn’t look the way we think it does. It isn’t loud or boastful. It comes in the quiet. In the stillness before the storm. Sometimes, strength and courage aren’t actions at all. Sometimes, they are waiting. “In returning and rest, you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.” — Isaiah 30:15 I think about how many of us pour...

Hey Friend, I'm writing this week from Oklahoma. I've been here for almost a month. My mom needs some extra care right now, so I've been spending time close to her — her home, her land, her heritage and the place where my family worked and prayed over for generations. And I've been spending time with the dead. Literally. There's a family cemetery not far from here, and I've found myself walking through it more than once this season. Reading the names. Sitting with the silence. Thinking about...
