Send us a textWhen you have a minute to yourself how do you spend it? Do you automatically hit the button on your phone and get lost in the scroll? Do you find yourself with your head in the pantry or fridge snacking on a few things hoping they might satisfy or give the boost you are looking for? Or do you stay up after the kids and hubby go to bed to get in a couple of hours of the new binge-worthy show? If you nodded yes, Now, I want to know, how do you feel after you give yourself these self-care habits? Do feel you satisfied? Are you Refreshed and ready to pour out to your people? I ask because These are the exact things I am prone to do when I feel depleted and empty. My automatic response is to turn to my phone, or food, and get lost in another world. And you know what? The social scroll reinforces that these ideas are totally normal and acceptable, it's what my mom friends joke about and it’s the memes that get thousands of likes. BUT, somehow I feel more empty afterward than when I began. The rest I was looking for doesn’t get realized. My ongoing depletion and emptiness led me to evaluate the normal self-care mantra. Perhaps self-care isn’t the answer? And if it’s not- how do you get refreshed, renewed, and refueled? Here’s the truth: What actually satisfies you and what you give your free minutes to, are often at drastic odds.So today, I want to invite you to exchange your ideas of self-care for life-giving soul care. I’ll share the BEST examples of healthy soul-care, I’ll guide you through the basic teachings of contemplative practice and provide practical examples so you can put soul care into practice, today. RESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Wholehearted Enneagram Coachinghttps://bit.ly/SWcoachingcollectiveEnnea-what?

Send us a textTo contribute to the Bening Family https://gofund.me/81f75f48 During this season of Lent, I wanted to introduce you to a new friend with a beautiful resource for your heart and the whole family to prepare for the celebration of Easter. Quina Aragon was born in the Philippines but raised in FL where she became friends with a family who introduced her to Christ. It’s this relationship with her Savior that freed her from the exhausting pursuit of significance- and has been the motivation behind her work as a spoken word artist, children’s author, and poet. She’s also the mama of an adorable five year old and she and her husband serve in their local church ministry. In this episode, we dive right into a conversation about the Enneagram and her two books Love Made and Love Gave. Download the free Enneagram for Moms Guidebook. Say "hi" on IG and check out the Enneagram conversation. Be sure and hear more from Quina ( @Quina_Aragon) on IG and thank her for sharing on the podcast. RESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Wholehearted Enneagram Coachinghttps://bit.ly/SWcoachingcollectiveEnnea-what?

Send us a textTo contribute to the Bening Family https://gofund.me/81f75f48Do you often wonder what you are really good at? You know the thing you want to be known for? Have you ever wished you had superpowers, like Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel or Super Girl? What if I said that you do have superpowers. For real! Okay, so you may not be able to leap from building to building or have a truth telling lasso, but you do possess a God-given superpower. Your superpower might just be collecting dust underneath the layers of stress motherhood has placed on you or even the demands of life that have caused you to forget the superpowers you’ve been equipped with. While I may not be Wonder Woman’s mom- the proud Amazon queen Hippolyta, and we can’t spend years training in no-man’s land,  I thought I would spend just a few minutes reminding you who you were created to be- the unique gifts and strengths you have available for you to use in motherhood. So, this episode is dedicated to all my wannabe cape wearing mamas- when you need a breath of fresh air and a quick reminder of who you were created to be, I hope you will listen for encouragement whenever you need it. RESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Wholehearted Enneagram Coachinghttps://bit.ly/SWcoachingcollectiveEnnea-what?

Send us a textAre you a journaling type? As in do you have a million journals that you’ve requested to be burned at the moment of your death? Or do you like the idea of journaling, but when you try, you just don’t like it? Is it something you dream of but never happens? That thing on your to-do list that you tend to put off because of all the things? Yep, finding time to write, whether it’s a journal entry, a note, or your dream writing project is challenging, especially if you are a mom. That’s why every year this community begins with the 3 Wholehearted Rhythm Pillars series- Word, Worship, and Write. Not only does today’s conversation with Kristy Cambron have some insight that will help you get in the rhythm of writing but this month of January each conversation will give you much-needed encouragement and action steps to make the 3 Wholehearted Rhythms your personal, daily pillars.

Send us a textWorship. What does that word mean to you? Choirs of angels? Church? A great band?What if I told you the rhythm of worship is so much simpler and yet so much more? Here are four words to sum up the meaning of worship:  In everything, give thanks. Yep, you heard me right. In everything, give thanks. I’ll explain myself a little more in a minute, but-Here’s the deal- we need an anchor in times like these and being a woman who worships is critical - no matter what comes your way in 2021. Worship, or giving thanks is the reset you need- whether you are facing fear, discontentment, or frustration. Worship changes the atmosphere- and it begins with you. A heart of worship, not what you can get, but what you give in your heartfelt expression of thanks. Listen, I know what it’s like to let another year slip by... and realize you’re still not where you want to be in your life.But, not this year my friend- this 2021 is the year things will change for you. So that’s why this month we are focusing on the three pillars of wholehearted worship and today,  I’m sharing four keys to create a strong rhythm of worship for you, no matter your personality Type!Have your free copy of the Enneagram Guide for Moms?
