You don’t want to miss my conversation with Chad Moses from the organization TO WRITE LOVE ON HER ARMS. TWLOHA is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. 

It is one of the most powerful conversations about mental health I have ever had. We talk about depression, suicide, substance abuse and the power of sharing our struggles with another so we can get the help we need. Because NONE of us are meant to go through this alone. 

Through Chad’s personal story which he so bravely tells our listeners, we can all find common ground, whether we have struggled with some of the same things, or know someone who does. 

He also helps us be safe places for those who need someone to believe in them and help them change the negative narrative they are believing about themselves. 


All in all my desire is that this conversation brings so much HOPE and comfort to the thousands who struggle with mental health or have a loved one who does.

There you will find resources in your area.

#28: Liz Bohannon: Author, Founder and Co-CEO of Sseko Designs

liz episode 28.png

This week we have Liz Bohannan back on our podcast. She has become one of my favorites, you know those people you can just sit with over a cup of coffee for hours and it still not be enough time, that’s Liz.  She is kind and passionate, and cares about others, AND she just wrote one of my favorite leadership books of the year called Beginner’s Pluck: Build Your Life of Purpose and Impact Now. 


I would give this book to any person who wants to be a part of change in this world. She made me think of leadership in a totally different way, and gave me freedom to pursue something by just starting, not waiting for something to happen. 


You hear speaker after motivational speaker say, “find your passion,” but she says things like, “ create your passion, own your average, and dream small.”


Liz is passionate about others, and started an entire company, Sseko Designs, after her heart was broken wide open for women in Uganda who had a desire to go to University but couldn’t afford it. She turned their dreams into reality with a couple failed ideas and then landed with Sseko Designs which is celebrating its 10th year of providing women overseas and in the states, jobs and education. She is also a sought after speaker and storyteller. She is on the Forbes list of popular speakers. I can’t wait to share our conversation. You will have a smile on your face the entire time.

#06 Becky Conzelman: Founder Faith Rxd

My dear friend Becky Conzelman is on the podcast today. She is founder and executive Director of Faith Rxd.

We recorded this podcast last month in hopes to air today. Since then Becky has suffered a brain aneurysm and is in an induced coma. We talked with her team and we decided to air this interview because we want everyone to know Becky’s heart for others, her passion for faith and fitness, and a faith that doesn’t falter. We know that she would want others to be encouraged in their own journey of uncertainty and pain. I do life daily with Becky and get emotional when I hear her talk, but her heart shines through this podcast and I hope you are all encouraged.

Becky was a pro-cyclist and her dream was to go to the Olympics, but because of a random rule, she did not make her dream ofthe Olympics. We talk about keeping our faith when our dreams are crushed. When we have worked so hard for something and it doesn't shake out like we planned. Becky was also a 5x Crossfit Games athlete and Grid athlete. She has an amazing resume, but her heart for others and her faith in God is what truly sets her apart.

She has a burden for the Crossfit community to know Christ and that is what Faith RXD does. They merge faith and fitness.

You won’t want to miss our interview, I promise.
