80. Can You Find Peace in the Storm of Chronic Illness? with Maureen Pratt

Welcome to Episode 80 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
Chronic. Just the word alone implies little to no relief.
Whether it's chronic pain or chronic illness, it's something we'd all like to avoid, but honestly something most of us will deal with at some point in our lives.
Sometimes that will be a chronic condition within our own bodies and other times caring for a loved one.
Maureen's experience with the word 'chronic' started at a young age, but she used the opportunity to learn some valuable lessons. These lessons would serve her well when the word 'chronic' interrupted her life a few more times down the road. One of these times completely changed the trajectory of her life.
Tune in to learn how Maureen discovered peace in her storms and how she is now sharing that peace with others.

78. When a Loved One Crosses Boundaries & Creates Trauma with Miriam Susan

Welcome to Episode 78 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
In this week's episode, we are tackling a difficult topic; one we haven't discussed before.
Yes, all of our conversations are difficult stories. But I think this conversation is one most of us can relate to because crossing boundaries is something that happens regularly. Each of us has experienced a family member who has crossed the line at least once.
While you probably haven't experienced it at the level Miriam Susan has, something in her story will likely ring true for you.
Listen in and learn how Miriam Susan went from chaos to peace.

76. When Storms Intersect, Propel Yourself Through the Trauma

Welcome to Episode 76 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
It's the first day of Autism Acceptance Month!
Autism is one of my storms, but it's also one of my blessings. This week, I talk about what happens when our traumas and storms intersect at a point in time as mine did recently.
One of my storms left a permanent change in my reality and how I live my life. The other seems to keep sending surprises to remind me it was once a major part of my life. And then both of those impact how autism fits into my life.
Just because a storm seems like it is in the past, doesn't mean it stays there. There are reminders. There are surprises. There may be decisions that need to be made.
These intersections should cause us to think. But not just think. After that, we must act...

Welcome to Episode 75 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
In this short Bits of Biblical Beauty (BoBB) episode, I talk about Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan Woman at the Well. The story could have turned out very differently if she had behaved the way many of us would like to when someone points out our sins...

74. Grieving Differently ~ Miscarriage Impacts the Whole Family with Jocelyn Abyad

Welcome to Episode 74 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
As promised in episode 70, Jocelyn Abyad is back to talk about a subject that doesn't get the attention it deserves: fathers and siblings also grieve when a baby dies in the womb.
But this episode became a little something more than that. As Jocelyn was sharing about her husband's reactions, she ended up sharing about marriage and she used the image of an umbrella.
It was incredibly beautiful.
While he wasn't present on the mic or camera, I want to thank Fr. Zyad Abyad for his story through Jocelyn and for his example of Christ-like love for and with his wife.
