Kindled Podcast | Truth and Grace, Boldly

Today my guest is Amy Reinecke - the blogger behind Beautifully Broken Journey.  Amy began sharing her story on Instagram almost two years ago, and in that story telling, found her voice and purpose. Amy struggled with her weight and body image her entire life, and in 2008 sought help and has spent the last several years getting healthier and happier. Her hope is to help others accept the body God gave them and be thankful for the beauty we can find in our brokenness.

Today on episode 18 of kindled, I’m chatting with Jackie Ayers. Jackie is the owner and designer behind a company Called Dyetology. She hand-dyes high quality garments and is based in Columbus, Ohio.

You’ll wanna hang on to the end of this interview when we announce a giveaway of my favorite of Jackie’s items.

Join my best friend Kendra Woodrow and I for this conversation about friendship that we recorded in the tiny house we rented in Austin, Texas. We took a girl's trip there for Jamie Ivey's Happy Hour Live Event and exploring the city of Austin. Kendra and I have maintained a deep and lasting friendship despite the many miles between us and differences in life stages and experiences - and today we share how that has looked for us over the years and in different seasons. Get ready for laughs and sarcasm.

Episode 12 is all about one of my favorite things to talk about: Creativity! Meg and I talk about what it is, what keeps people from being creative and how everyone is uniquely and differently creative. Meg also shares a lot about her and her husband’s recent journey into becoming foster parents and her heart on that is beautiful. I’m so grateful Meg shares her expertise, her story and her heart with us.
