Today on the Thriving Belief Podcast, on mother/daughter relationships, Dr. Helen McIntosh and Blythe Daniel.

Are You Struggling with a Difficult Mother-Daughter Relationship?
Dr. Helen McIntosh and Daughter, Blythe Daniel, Provide Tools
to Help You Restore What Needs Mended!

Relationships between mothers and daughters can be messy and hurtful. Dr. Helen McIntosh understands the uncertainty of a strained relationship and the scars that can develop. Raised by a mother who battled anxiety, anger, and alcoholism, Helen struggled to understand her mom’s verbal abuse, thinking something was wrong with her.

Years later, after becoming a Doctor of Counseling Psychology, Helen recognized she did the best she could with what she knew about her mother. She had a deep desire to help other women hurt by their mother-daughter relationship and to raise her daughter Blythe differently by maintaining a good relationship with her.

Today, Helen and Blythe, who is a mother of two daughters, have a close and healthy mother-daughter bond achieved through much effort and repairs.

In Mended: Restoring the Hearts of Mothers and Daughters (Harvest House Publishers), they share how they’ve built, guarded, and renewed a relationship-centered around respecting, listening, then talking. They walk readers through the steps to restoring what’s between you and include specific conversation starters that are open-handed and welcoming, using grace-filled words with each other. They also show how to experience freedom when you aren’t able to talk with the person you want to be mended with.

Helen and Blythe address topics such as:
• How to choose the relationship above your difference of opinion
• How to focus on your relationship and not change or control the other
• How to recognize and remove behaviors that have carried over from generations
• Confront hurts in the present without having to go back through all the mess
• Learning the life skill and the scripts for when you need to make repairs
• What to do when reconciliation is not possible
• Experience healing when your mother or daughter is no longer in your life

As they show readers how to mend relationships in their current place, Helen and Blythe also teach readers to recognize and remove behaviors in their family for their relationships now and in the future. “Whatever you focus on, you run the risk of repeating,” Helen says, recognizing how the words she heard growing up impacted her actions and anxieties as a mom and the importance of replacing damaging generational patterns with new, healthy patterns for your family.

Today on the Thriving Belief Podcast, we have Jen Fulwiler!

About Jennifer:
When SiriusXM radio host Jennifer Fulwiler decided she wanted to seriously pursue stand-up comedy, she repeatedly heard there wasn’t a place for a minivan driving, female comic with six kids. But Fulwiler wasn’t going to let anyone stand in her way. After countless open mic-nights, she self-produced a comedy tour, using her personal credit card to secure venues. Tickets sales were explosive with many shows selling out in hours. And she’s doing it again this year!

About the book:
In her newest book, Your Blue Flame: Drop the Guilt and Do What Makes You Come Alive, Fulwiler is sharing what she’s learned about following your passions. She inspires readers to discover their blue flame and build a life they love. Fulwiler didn’t move her family cross-country or quit her job to follow her blue flame. Instead she encourages readers to do more of what makes them come alive in their actual lives.

Jeannie Gaffigan (Executive Producer The Jim Gaffigan Show and New York Times Bestselling author of When Life Gives You Pears) wrote the foreword and says, “In a book that is part The Artists Way and part ‘Change Your Life, I Changed Mine!’ Jennifer Fulwiler has a plan for you to find your true passion and to not let anything stand in your way.”

Today on the Thriving Belief Podcast, we have Sharon Jaynes!

Sharon is an international inspirational speaker and Bible teacher for women’s conferences and events. She is also the author of several books, including Becoming the Woman of His Dreams and The 14-Day Romance Challenge. Sharon and her husband, Steve, call North Carolina home.

Words have the power to spur others on to achieve greatness and also the power to have a lasting negative impact. International speaker Sharon Jaynes encourages women to recognize the incredible power of their words and to learn how to use them to encourage future generations through her teachings in The Power of a Woman’s Words (April 2020, Harvest House Publishers).

In The Power of a Woman’s Words, Jaynes illustrates how words can bring life or cause damage through stories of the women of the Bible. There are examples of women who gossiped, whined and lied and those who prophesied, encouraged and instilled truth. Some used their words to both build up and tear down. Jaynes asserts that God calls His people to learn to harness the power of their tongue to lead others to Him.

“He entrusted words to mere mortals,”

writes Jaynes.

“Our words also have creative potential. They can light up a child’s face disheartened by discouragement, lessen the burdens of a husband weighed down with worries, lift the spirits of a friend who feels dejected by life, cheer on brothers and sisters in Christ to grow in grace, and bring the message of the hope and healing of Jesus Christ to a wounded world.”

The Power of a Woman’s Words offers lessons for women to learn how to foster their attitudes, motives and goals for greater influence and how to harness the power of their words to use as a source for good. Jaynes offers personal experiences as practical advice to women who desire to use the gift of their words to encourage and build up.

Jaynes created a guide for learning how to use the gift of words to shape the lives of others. In The Power of a Woman’s Words Workbook and Study Guide (April 2020, Harvest House Publishers), readers will find a lesson for each corresponding chapter of the novel.

“Words are one of the most powerful forces in the universe, and amazingly, God has entrusted them to you and me. Words become the mirror in which others see themselves.”
