Don’t miss this episode! Join me today as I chat with Dr. Kelly Flanagan who gives us a lifeline to THRIVING!

His new book The Road Less Triggered is AMAZING!

There is a moment that repeats itself over and over again in your relationships–it’s the moment you’re triggered to flip from connection mode into protection mode. This moment is the unseen source of all disconnection and conflict. However, it happens so quickly and unconsciously most of us feel powerless to choose connection. The Road Less Triggered will empower you to:

  • quickly disrupt your defensiveness
  • turn inner turmoil into inner peace
  • connect with clarity, curiosity, and compassion

Through a powerful blend of psychology, spirituality, real-world examples, and practical exercises, clinical psychologist Dr. Kelly Flanagan illustrates in actionable detail the process through which you can free your relationships from the patterns that imprison them. Can you imagine uninterrupted peace with your partner? Kids who leave home but also love to return? Friendships that deepen instead of dwindle? Ruptured relationships restored to their highest potential? A professional life freed from personal hang-ups? All those rewards and more lie just ahead of you, down the road less triggered.

  • Father of three: Aidan (21), Quinn (17), and Caitlin (15).
  • Clinical psychologist with a Ph.D. from Penn State University.

Lindsey Maestas: Living Easy With Lindsey!

Join me today as I chat with the beautiful lady Lindsey Maestas who gives us a lifeline to THRIVING!

Hi! I’m Lindsey Maestas!

But I might love you a little bit more if you call me Linds. 😉

I am a podcaster, entrepreneur, writer and speaker, but mostly just a multi-passionate girl who loves Jesus, loves people and loves allll the food.

Sometimes I have so much passion that it feels like I might explode – but I promise I won’t. I’m in this for you and for the long haul!

If you know me, you know that I’m absolutely obsessed with my husband (Jesse) and two “baby” boys (Sutton and Saxon) and of course, our sweet puppies, Milo and Biscuit.

I never would have thought that a day spent on my couch – writing wildly personal details about my messy past of dating and my own journey through postpartum anxiety – would lead to 3 million yearly blog readers, over 400,000 podcast downloads and a community of tens of thousands of women that I get to virtually share all the secrets & all the real life with. God is good and life is cool.

I’m a firm believer that relationships change everything. Your marriage doesn’t have to feel impossible. Your motherhood doesn’t have to feel like a train-wreck.

The “good life” definitely does not have to be behind you. And healthy, fun, adult friendships don’t have to feel impossible.

I have one goal through this ministry: to talk about the things that nobody likes to talk about in order to remind you that you are more than your mess.

We only have one life – and you don’t want to just ‘get by’, do you? That isn’t living.

You have been created for a specific purpose. It’s just not satisfying to be told that ‘we are enough’ and to go on our way. Sometimes we just aren’t enough; sometimes life is hard. I know I rarely feel as if I’m enough.

But God wants us to see Him more clearly in order to live life more abundantly. If you are looking to find that ‘more to life’, you came to the right place.

Every single day, I share God’s truth and my heart to help you flourish in your marriage, your faith and your motherhood in a way you never have before. This is what makes me thrive. So – truly – thank you so much for being a part of this journey with me!

080: Gwen Smith

Gwen Smith’s tagline on her website says her purpose is “helping women know and trust God more”. After today’s episode of Thriving Beyond Belief, you will have no doubt that is what God has intended for her to do! Gwen is a delight, an 8w7 on the enneagram (if you know what that is) :), and has such an amazing story to tell.

Not only is Gwen a follower of Jesus, wife, and mother, she is also an author, speaker, podcaster, and coach. Gwen’s story is one where she is able to personally speak about the goodness, grace, and faithfulness of God. She speaks of young love, heartbreak, and amazingly beautiful redemption.

I don’t want to give away her whole story here, but it’s one that has her cling to the story of the prodigal son from Scripture. She shares what she describes as her “mess-timony”, and the fact that our sin is never going to be bigger than God’s grace in our life. We cannot outdo the power of the cross! Once Gwen returned to the Lord, she spent so much time trying to “earn” her way back into the good graces of the Lord. She volunteered for every role she could in the church, trying to work her way back into the arms of the Lord, until she realized she was already there. Christ then revealed to her that in the midst of trying to earn her salvation, she stopped dreaming about what the Lord was going to do in her life. She felt “disqualified” from the race. How many of us can relate to feeling this way from time to time?

But in His goodness, God showed her the grace that was given to her, the fact that we can never earn our salvation, and that with thriving ALWAYS comes honesty about our story. I love how she reminds us that His arms are never too short to save and His ears are never too dull to hear.

We talk about Gwen’s definition of thriving. One thing that stuck out to me about what she had to share was that she always referred to herself as someone who was “dizzy”. She loved to spin in circles as a girl, and that same mindset carried into adulthood. But she claims that this leads to chaos and it keeps our eyes from ever looking forward. Gwen believes thriving is being able to look straight ahead to eternity and to keep from spinning in mindless directions.

We even cope together as we discuss the season of empty nesting, bond over being fellow podcasters, and discuss how the Lord truly uses all of our mess to create something beautiful and new. I cannot wait for you to take a listen today!
