In this enlightening episode, host Maria Strange dives into the profound impact of the labels we assign to ourselves. Labels like "overwhelmed" or "just a mom" might seem innocuous, but they can powerfully shape our reality. They become the lenses through which we view the world, influencing how we live, feel, and perceive our roles. Explore how these self-given labels can either limit or empower us, particularly in the contexts of military life and motherhood. Maria uses real-life examples to highlight how shifting from limiting to empowering narratives can lead to more fulfilling experiences.  Learn practical steps to transform your words and, ultimately, your worldview to embrace positivity, resilience, and strength. At the end of the episode, Maria invites you to a complimentary "Love Your Life" session, offering personalized guidance on redefining your self-perception. www.mariastrangecoaching.com

The holidays are a time of celebration, relationships, and gathering, but what about when you are missing the presence of a loved one? Many circumstances can prevent us from getting together with the people we love during the holidays: death, military, serving missions, traveling, finances,  scheduling, and the list goes on. With intention, a little planning, and some thought, you can still enjoy the holiday and make it memorable and special!  In this week's podcast Jessica Rydalch and I talk about the many ways we can make the holidays special even without the presence of a loved one.  Jessica has first-hand experience with her son’s serving missions for our church and being able to come home for Christmas. Last year both of her son’s were away from home. Join us this week for some great ideas to make your holidays memorable!
