In episode 86 of the podcast, I share the recording of my conversation with the author of our March #WorkYourPlan book club selection, Jo Saxton.

Jo Saxton

Jo Saxton is an author, speaker, podcast host, and leadership coach. She has dedicated her career to growing leadership teams around the world and empowering women to find their purpose in their personal lives and in leadership.

Born in London to parents who immigrated from Nigeria, Jo credits her family’s unrelenting work ethic and the grace of God for the bold, tenacious approach she takes to sharing her wisdom on identity, influence, and living an authentic life. She is characterized by her effervescent honesty and warm approachability, leaving audiences with practical next steps in areas that are usually a bit ambiguous.

In addition to work as an author, Jo has also spearheaded an initiative aimed to help women grow their leadership skills. 

Jo lives in Minneapolis with her husband, Chris, and their two daughters.

Jo's book, Ready to Rise, is one of the few I've seen that addresses the intersection of your identity as a leader, a Black woman and a Christian and provides a Biblical context for talking about leadership and calling.

Have you ever dropped the ball? I want to invite you to join me for the #WorkYourPlan Book Club. For May I wanted a book that speaks to the pressure moms and women, in general, feel to do it all.

So, we are reading Tiffany Dufu’s book, Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less, as our May book selection. I often joke that this book should be in the marriage and family section of the book store, rather than the business section.

In Drop the Ball, Tiffany shows women how to cultivate the single skill they really need in order to thrive: the ability to let go. She recounts how she learned to reevaluate expectations, shrink her to-do list, and meaningfully engage the assistance of others - freeing the space she needed to flourish at work and to develop deeper, more meaningful relationships at home.

Did you know? Even though women are half the workforce, they still represent only 18 percent of the highest level leaders. The reasons are obvious: Just as women reach middle management, they are also starting families. Mounting responsibilities at work and home leave them with no bandwidth to do what will most lead to their success. Drop the Ball urges women to embrace imperfection and to expect less of themselves and more from others - only then can they focus on what they truly care about, devote the necessary energy to achieving their real goals, and create the type of rich, rewarding life we all desire.

I'm sure this topic is going to spark some lively discussions. Don't miss it!

ep 84 #workyourplan with kendra

To minimize the possibility of offense when engaging in a courageous conversation:

Pray in advance so that you have God's wisdom and his heart for the interaction.

State the facts first. Then share your story (how it impacted you; FYI your story is not a fact. It’s how you see it.)

Now switch to listening. Ask for their perspective.

Remember the reason/purpose for the conversation. Your goal is not to convince, compel or control. You want to move towards understanding and accountability.

Steps to move past comparison:

Return to the vision. You need a visual reminder.

Pray for discernment about what is a longing for something God wants for me and what is me coveting what was meant for someone else. 

Seek wise counsel from (friends, family, mentors, coaches) those who know what you’re feeling, they’ve navigated this road before and they can help you with your perspective. The answers to our desires often take on a different form than we expected.

Work your plan. Get busy with the work God is calling you to. Look for those people who run beside you to see it fulfilled.

March is Women’s History Month. I want to invite you to join me for the #WorkYourPlan Book Club. For the month of March we are reading Jo Saxton’s book, Ready to Rise.

Ready to Rise tackles the real-life issues women face–workplace harassment, sexism, low self-esteem, financial woes, power battles, and old wounds–while providing meaningful wisdom from Jo’s own journey to leadership. Added to this personal reflection are stories of empowered women from the Bible. Jo then calls on readers to invest in the next generation of women and build new communities where diverse female leadership can flourish.

After 20 years of friendship and 13 years of marriage, LaSandra Hutchinson experienced the sudden loss of her husband in October 2017.  At the time, her children were 11, 10, 8, and 6 years old. Eager to learn all she could about grief and to rebuild a powerful life for her and her children, LaSandra began researching grief and sharing her new understanding, her faith, and her grief journey on YouTube, through public speaking, and through writing. She wanted to give a transparent look into grief in a way that resonated with others and that brought hope. Through these steps, Grace & Grief was born. Grace and Grief is an initiative that provides support, community, and inspiration to help others grow through grief and live boldly after loss.

What does it mean for God to be good?

This common question is at the heart of what many of us will wrestle with when we experience some form of loss in our lifetime.

Our guest, LaSandra Hutchinson is going to help us uncover how grief and loss has impacted our relationship with God. LaSandra is a speaker, writer, content creator and advocate for the rights and well-being of women and girls. She began her work in the non-profit sector as a teenager, spearheading a youth-led initiative in which she designed and implemented violence prevention programming to empower young women in Chicago. She has continued that work as a domestic violence advocate and currently builds awareness of the issue by providing domestic violence training and strengthening community partnerships through her with South Suburban Family Shelter, an organization that provides comprehensive domestic violence services in Illinois. 

After 20 years of friendship and 13 years of marriage, LaSandra experienced the sudden loss of her husband in October 2017.  At the time, her children were 11, 10, 8, and 6 years old. Eager to learn all she could about grief and to rebuild a powerful life for her and her children, LaSandra began researching grief and sharing her new understanding, her faith, and her grief journey on YouTube, through public speaking, and through writing.

Grace and Grief is an initiative that provides support, community, and inspiration to help others grow through grief and live boldly after loss.

Oct 27, 2020

In today’s episode we’re discussing two topics we’re told never to talk about -- religion & politics. We're, specifically, talking about the intersection of faith and politics and how do we unify when the stakes feel so high in this year's election.

Our guest for episode 80 of the podcast is Sarah Bauer Anderson. Sarah has spent her entire life learning to live in the tension both politics and religion create, striving to best navigate the complicated issues and emotional conversations around these weightier topics. Raised in a family of politicos, including a former Republican presidential candidate father (Gary Bauer), Sarah shares her story and what she’s learned in her latest book, The Space Between Us: How Jesus Teaches Us to Live Together When Politics and Religion Pull Us Apart. 

She has been involved in ministry since 2003 and uses her skills as an avid communicator, writer and author, to combine her passions in order to instill positive faith in teens, parents and ministry influencers. Sarah is the lead content creator and writer for XP3 High School curriculum from Orange, a nonprofit organization with a mission to instill positive faith and influence parents and ministries to influence the next generation.

Sarah Anderson

In this episode we discuss…

  • Principles Sarah's political and religious family have learned about navigating political discussions that might help you restore relationships with your friends and family
  • Why beliefs like 'we have to agree with every issue a candidate stands for to publicly support them' are driving us apart
  • How our limited view of Jesus is hindering contributes to our lack of civil discourse around religion and politics
  • The importance of posture over position
  • Why nuance gets lost in our political discussions online
  • How we honor our Christian faith in voting without standing in condemnation of others for their differing views

Before you go...

Join us the day after the election on Wed, 11/4 at 6pm MST/7pm CST for a candid conversation among a group of multi-generational, multi-ethnic women exploring how we find unity following the 2020 election season.

Sep 17, 2020

For the month of September where we will be talking about demystifying purpose. My conversation with Nicole Salmon centers around defining purpose and gaining clarity about your purpose.

Nicole Salmon Purpose Coach

When we’re unclear on our calling, we feel stuck and left behind. In today’s conversation, my guest Nicole Salmon helps us demystify “purpose” by revealing the one mindset shift we must make to be fruitful in every season of life. Tune in throughout September as we continue this monthly series on clarifying our purpose.

Purpose coach Nicole Salmon has worked with some pretty inspiring and powerful women over the years. You know the type. Fierce, has it all together and going places? Well at least to the public she is. But in her private life she is also unraveling and not clear about her next move. Why do they end up at her door? Because birds of a feather flock together. If the quest for finding your purpose has left you feeling stuck or left behind, you’re in the right place. In today’s episode, Nicole invites us to reject the idea that purpose is a destination, so that we can begin living from purpose, adapting it as our lifestyle.

In this episode we discuss…

  • The dark seasons that leave you feeling like purpose is over & how God uses them to propel you into His purposes for your life.
  • The grace of God that overrides shame’s intent to silence and muzzle your calling. 
  • Walking in your calling as a believer by putting “purpose” into the proper perspective.
  • Following Purpose’s breadcrumbs in your life to rediscover and exercise your God-given gifts right where you are. 

***

Words to Remember… 

  • “Your mistakes do not void your purpose.”  – Nicole Salmon
  • “The question is not: What do I want to be? But: What do I want to do? I already am somebody.” – Nicole Salmon
  • “If the only time you are great is when your title is great, that’s not greatness. That’s a show.” – Nicole Salmon
  • “Time doesn’t clarify your purpose. Movement made toward your call in faith does. You will squint at purpose from afar until Jesus returns.” – Nicole Salmon

For the month of August our conversations on the podcast will help parents transition their families into a new and very different school year. 

Christine Duvivier

My guest for today's episode is Christine Duvivier. Christine Duvivier is an international speaker, author and positive change mentor. She speaks, teaches and coaches for organizations, leaders, students and communities that are ready to think beyond traditional myths that hold us back and want to use positive practices to tap into the powerful energy available to them so that they live into more of their true spirits and who they ultimately want to be. She holds an MBA and a Masters degree in Positive Psychology.

Christine and I discuss:

  • The myth of the bad student, the myth of the good student and the myth of the best system and how it's impacting our kids
  • Why our current system of schooling can lead to depression for some students and what we can do about it
  • 7 hidden gifts and how we uncover them
  • Helping our kids become more confident and resilient in school

You can watch the video of our conversation at Facebook.com/StrongHerMe

***

Quotes from the episode:

"The system is structured in a way and teaches thought patterns that cause depression and anxiety." - Christine Duvivier

"We don't really have any control over what our kids think...what's interesting is how much impact we have." - Christine Duvivier

"I think it's so empowering when you take control as a parent of yourself and decide I'm going to define how I want to think about this (my child and their strengths) and I don't want other people defining it for me. " - Christine Duvivier

For the month of August our conversations on the podcast will help parents transition their families into a new and very different school year. 

episode 77 Susan Seay

My guest for today's episode is Susan Seay. Susan is an international speaker, podcast host of the Mentor 4 Moms Podcast and a certified life coach who helps busy moms make the shift from overwhelmed and distracted to intentional and living on purpose.  She's also a homeschooling mom of 7.

Susan and I talk about how to intentionally parent our kids for this season of schooling, that may be our normal for a while, without overwhelming ourselves.

In this episode we discuss:

  • exchanging a list of house rules for living your family's core values
  • the peace that comes when we let go of the need to control the household responsibilities
  • setting the environment for a successful school year
  • shifting our focus to the benefits of an unprecedented year of schooling during a pandemic
  • the evolution of our parenting styles
  • how Susan started reclaiming her voice

You can watch the video of our conversation at Facebook.com/StrongHerMe

Quotes from the episode:

"My definition of intentional is having both the courage and the confidence to live true to your core values." - Susan Seay

"I had to get to a place where I had to relinquish my hold on so many of the things I felt personally responsible for, because I'm mom, I'm wife ... it became my personal commitment to see how many balls I could drop." - Susan Seay

Our guests for episode 76 of #WorkYourPlan with Kendra are Evangeline Colbert and Maria Mwangi, the co-authors of Conceived by Grace, a 'no fear' pregnancy journal. Maria and Evangeline are hosting their first virtual event this month, Grace - A Virtual Fertility Event. The event is for women who are experiencing infertility/miscarriages/infant loss so that they know they are not alone in the struggle. The event will provide encouragement and tools from God’s Word to help them deal with their fears and anxiety and move forward with a hope-filled focus.

Evangeline Colbert is an author, speaker, and Hope Coach. She is dedicated to helping others find and maintain hope in the midst of their everyday struggles so that they persevere with confidence and live with a hope-filled focus. She's the author of multiple books including a devotional about overcoming infertility, A Seed of Hope: God’s Promises of Fertility. It is written from the perspective of her personal victory over infertility. The devotions help women to tap into the strength of God's promises of fertility and to address the issue of infertility by confidently believing and speaking the Word of God. 

Evangeline is dedicated to helping others find and maintain hope in the midst of their everyday struggles so that they persevere with confidence and live with a hope-filled focus. If hope, victory, and meaningful results are what you’re craving, one of her coaching programs can get you there. Her highest goal is to help others live their best life, with courage, purpose, and joy!

Maria’s passion for the event industry went from a hobby and side business, to a career change after the housing crisis of 2008. She is an award-winning event producer who acts as the director of sales for special events at an event company in Phoenix, AZ. She is a widowed mother of two teen boys, who keep her busy with basketball and football. Having become well acquainted with the grief of multiple miscarriages, she recently co-authored Conceived by Grace, a no fear pregnancy journal for women who have suffered from infertility, miscarriage, and infant loss.

Chrystal Evans Hurst is one of my favorite podcaster-speaker-authors. She is anointed to encourage and equip others to live God's best for their lives... all while engaging and being present in the small important moments that matter in the everyday. 

Chrystal Evans Hurst

Chrystal Hurst is here to talk about how a 28 day commitment can help us make prayer a habit in our daily lives. In this episode she recommends that in the midst of many voices telling us how to respond to the world’s problems, we seek God in prayer for wisdom and clarity for how we can be most effective. We end the episode with her answering several listener questions about prayer.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever wondered…

  • the role and purpose of prayer as we take action on the vision in our heart
  • how to cultivate your relationship with God through prayer
  • how to wrestle with disappointment through prayer
  • how to make prayer ongoing conversation between you and God

***

Show Notes

Words to Remember...

  • “If you still want it, pray for it.”
  • “We have to have the kind of faith today, we’ll be glad we had tomorrow.”
  • “You have to act today like you want to have the story to tell about how you acted tomorrow.”

In the month of June we are reclaiming our voices. For this week’s #WorkYourPlan Wednesday I’m taking a step towards one of my action items - to be more informed about local government.

Jessica Davis

Our guest this week is Jessica Davis. Jessica is an 8th grade Civics teacher in Phoenix, AZ who's been teaching middle school for almost 8 years. Her degrees are in American History with a minor in religious studies and a masters in Secondary Education. Jessica loves teaching and sees her classroom as her mission field.

We invited Jessica to help us talk with our teens (and pre-teens) about how we make the political process relevant to our teens. In this candid conversation we will discuss how to engage our kids in the process, how to help them validate fact from fiction on social media and she'll give us a mini lesson on our basic rights as US citizens at the federal and local levels.

In the month of June we are reclaiming our voices. For this week’s #WorkYourPlan Wednesday I’m taking a step towards one of my action items - to be more informed about local government.

Eshe Pickett

We're going to learn why local elections matter and how we become informed voters from my friend, Eshe Pickett, a community activist & an engineer. We will address advocacy, elections and our laws.

In this episode we discuss...

  • Why local elections matter and how we become informed voters
  • How the different elected offices impact our daily life
  • Why we need to start engaging our children early
  • Other ways besides voting to be involved in the political process
  • How do the different branches of government affect economic and racial inequality?
  • Resources to help us navigate the system

Quotes

"Politicians pay attention to people who can vote them out of office." - Eshe Pickett

"There's always got to be some piece of you that's connected to the greater good and when you have no connection and all you're seeing is the negative that's when you have hopelessness. I maintain hope because I'm involved." - Eshe Pickett

For the month of June, in response to our collective grief and outrage over racist acts continuing in our country, on my platforms I'm centering our conversations around reclaiming our voice.

Sharli Berry of Destiny's Door Counseling Center

This week’s #WorkYourPlan conversation with Sharli Berry, a licensed therapist and the owner of Destiny's Door Counseling, about reclaiming your voice after trauma is critical to this conversation.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's quote "protest is the language of the unheard" is quoted frequently right now. We're going to dig into what that means from a mental health perspective. Specifically, we will be talking about how we reclaim our voice after different forms of trauma - childhood abuse and neglect, domestic violence, as well as, the trauma of systemic racism.

In this episode we discuss...

  • What is trauma?
  • What role does our faith play to help us deal with trauma? What role does therapy play?
  • How traumas get triggered
  • How systemic racism triggers us
  • How we reclaim our voice after trauma

Courage always comes with a cost.

For the month of June we’re exploring what courage costs all of us and how courage helps us reclaim our voice for our God-given assignment.

One of the things I pray is reclaimed from our anger and outrage around history continuing to repeat itself is our heart for advocacy.

Khalilah Elliott reclaim voice advocacy

I was joined by my sister, Khalilah Elliott, a multicultural marketing and communications expert, to talk about how we reclaim our voice for advocacy. 

Advocacy comes in many forms and that's what Khalilah and I will be talking about.

In this episode we discuss...
▪️Why advocacy matters
▪️Why our silence and inaction is detrimental to us all
▪️How to think critically about issues of social justice
▪️How to address our own anger and resentment in a way that’s not counterproductive
▪️Methods for how we “stop” the madness

No more being silent about the things that matter most to us because we fear what others think.

This week is an encore from last year - the secret to finishing strong when you’re tired.This episode was so well received and so relevant I thought I would share it again. It’s a short, practical episode. Stick around until the end, because there’s a homework assignment to prepare you for next week’s year in review episode. 

Finishing Strong When You're Tired

The secret to finishing strong is not necessarily pushing harder, but embracing the rest your soul needs. In this episode we discuss:

  • Everything that grows and produces needs times to rest and recover. God has designed us to cycle between effort/work and recovery/rest.
  • When we allow time for rest and recovery, it allows things to grow stronger.
  • How do we allow time for rest when there's still work to be done?
  • How do we slow down the pace of our lives to enjoy the holiday season?

I’ve got some homework for you. Next week’s episode will be our final episode for 2019. We’re talking about our year in review and mentally preparing for a new year with a one word theme. 

Your homework is to grab the free Year in Review download at strongher.me/episode65 and start reflecting on your year by conducting your own year in review:

  1. List your 3 most memorable WINS of 2019.
  2. What did you try that you didn’t complete, but you plan to keep working towards in 2020?
  3. What are 1-2 lessons learned in 2019 that will change how you approach 2020?

Thank you for listening if this podcast has helped you mentally break free in some way in 2019, would you leave us a review on Apple podcasts or wherever you listen to this podcast.

Gloria Brintnall #workyourplan podcast

My guest for this episode is Pastor Gloria Brintnall. Gloria has served as an itinerant minister for several years, taking her passionate preaching and teaching of the Word of God throughout America. She's assisted in the planting and establishment of four satellite churches. She is the author of 3 books. Stuff Happens, HOPE Anyway is her most recent book and the one we'll be discussing in this interview.

I want to set the back story of why this interview was important to me. Imagine there is a couple in your church. The couple leads worship at your church. You know there kids because you serve them in the youth dept. They move away because of a call to ministry. They travel the world ministering through song. Years later, they settle into lead a church. Their kids are either young adults at this point or approaching it. They are not a constant in your life, but they are a family that you once knew. Then, one day you learn that the husband has been arrested and sentenced to prison time. This family’s world is flipped upside down. Because you are not close friends, you witness how the mom and her children move forward in their lives from a distance through Facebook. After a decade has passed the wife writes a book sharing how God kept her and her children and restored her through the storm.

Now that you have that insight, one more thing before I share the interview. I’m called to help women heal from the pain of a devastating defining moment and get on with living the good life God has planned for them. What struck me most about Pastor Gloria’s story is how her message of hope shines through in the midst of a devastating, defining moment in her life. It has not marked her with bitterness or even fear about the future. I find that remarkable and I believe you will too.
