What it Means to Live in the "Not Yet"


Hello Reader,

If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I just be over this?” this one is for you.

This episode of the StableMinded Podcast is a real-time, from-the-heart conversation about the roller coaster of emotions that come when we experience the limits of our humanity, the challenges of grief and loss, and what it means to hold the hope of eternity in mind.

We talk about:

  • The confusing “both-and” of grief and relief
  • The grief we don’t name enough: accepting people’s limitations
  • The tension of living between what is and what we want

Sometimes what we are craving is actually a longing for heaven-on-earth.

When we step back and see our current situation from that vantage point, we're better set up to embrace our limits, release others from unrealistic expectations, process the loss and grief that comes both in life and death, and shift our perspective towards remembering that this life is temporary.

This is our journey from Eden to Eternity, where longing for beauty, perfection, and redemption beckons us onward.

Even so, we live in the not yet.

So if you’re walking through loss, disappointment, estrangement, or a relationship that will not become what you hoped, lean in and be encouraged.

And be ready to jot down the journal questions near the end to help you name what you need, release what you cannot control, and ask God for the grace to live your “new normal.”

Join me in becoming StableMinded and living life with purpose by tuning into this episode for insight and encouragement!

Still becoming,

Equipped Group Coaching Program

Hello Reader, Can you believe we're already one week into March? For so many of us, this is that time of year when we feel really worn down. The winter blues are beckoning for the hope of spring. The financial hit of the holidays may start lifting, although for those of us living in the US and coming through a hard winter, that relief in light of the circumstances and economy may not feel significant enough. I get it, on so many levels. That is one of the reasons I pivoted with the Equipped...

Healing from the Inside Out

Hello Reader, Lasting transformation requires more than willpower. It needs healing from the inside out. 🤍 On the latest episode of the StableMinded podcast, I talked about something I've experienced firsthand and see every week in my work with women: You can white-knuckle change for a while.You can push through.You can try harder.
