248: Declutter Your Destiny: What to let go of from 2023 to make room for greatness in 2024
One of my favorite quotes is from C. Joy Bell that says, “You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them.”Today Neil and I are discussing what things we’ve let go of to make room for better things in our lives. Labels, past experiences, burdens that don’t belong to us… We’re also talking about HOW to do this and some things you can evaluate in your life so that you have room to really step into who you were meant to be in 2024.“Personality Isn’t permanent: How to Break Free from Self-Limiting Beliefs and Rewrite Your Story” Book by Benjamin P.

Jenn Kautsch, founder of Sober Sis, is passionate about making it safe for women to have a conversation about alcohol without judgment, labels, or rules. She’s a retired “gray area” drinker who realized in her 40s that her “wine o’clock” habit wasn’t doing her any favors.

244: My Miscarriage Theory
Mary, the mother of Jesus, is someone I now think about more than I ever have during the Christmas season because of an experience I had two Christmases ago when I lost a pregnancy. Her attitude of being the handmaid of the Lord has helped me maintain the perspective of being willing to do the Lord's will even through some of the most challenging trials that have come with being a mother. Today I'm sharing my theory on miscarriage that has been pieced together over time and through my experiences with miscarriages. I don't claim that it's for sure a fact but it's something that has brought a lot of comfort to some of my friends who have experienced the same, and so maybe it can for you or someone you love, too.Time Stamps:[00:48] - Corrine and Neil recall their feelings about miscarriage and their personal story.
