Warrior Words | Stories of Hope | Finding Beauty After Battles & Thriving After Surviving Trauma

Welcome to Episode 191 of the Warrior Words podcast!
This week I had the opportunity to sit down with a mom. A mom like many of us who struggles to know if she's raising her kids right. Will they live out what she taught them? Or will the world's weeds take root?But what happens when one or more of those children start to question, or outright reject, the faith in which they've been raised?Kristen and I talk about how this is playing out in her own life right now. And we end up talking about control. Similar to last week, when we talked about controlling everything surrounding conceiving children, this week we discuss continuing that control through childhood and into the teenage years.This seems to be a pattern.But Kristen sought wise counsel from her priests, and she was given some very profound ~ and sometimes painful ~ wisdom.Listen in to hear how control rears its ugly head in our parenting, and how one mom is learning not to waste her cross.

Welcome to Episode 190 of the Warrior Words podcast!
This week's episode is in honor of Karol & Alba Gaudete.What is the impact of control on fertility? Maybe a better question is: What is the impact of control on any situation in your life?While my guest Victoria and I discuss her experiences with pregnancy loss and fertility, there is an underlying theme of trying to control anything and everything. And the destruction control can cause.As Victoria navigated her pregnancy loss, she discovered something she was really good at doing. God provided a way for her to help others!From her pain through to helping others' pain.And she discovered PEACE.Listen in as she moves from control to PEACE in her life.

Welcome to Episode 189 of the Warrior Words podcast!
I am honored to host this week's guest, Sheila. As she states in the opening minutes of the episode, this is the first time she has been a guest on a podcast.But she's not a stranger to stories.Last week, we commemorated the terrorist attacks that took the lives of 2,977 people on September 11th, 2001. Like many of us, that day had a profound impact on Sheila.So much so that she left her hometown in Canada for an internship in the Middle East.She arrived in time for another terrorist attack in Jordan.Sheila shares about her time in Jordan: what she saw, how she was treated, and what she learned in the six months she was there.But she also shares about the repercussions she experienced when she returned to Canada.This isn't one of those stories that's wrapped up in a pretty red bow at the end. It's a story of a journey of healing; one that's still in process & one that has taught her so much.Listen in as she bravely shares this journey with you.

Welcome to Episode 188 of the Warrior Words podcast!This week, I invited my friend, fellow podcaster, and fellow author, Lauren Burns, back to the podcast. The big difference is that her book is now published! And I am excited to share it with you!
Lauren was a guest on episodes 33 & 34, and she shared the details of her kidnapping, rescue, and redemption with us.
This time, she is talking about that story from a different angle. You will hear things not included in those episodes, but you will also hear about the fear that can accompany God's call.
Especially when that call is something you have no idea how to do.
You do not have to be writing a book to relate to what Lauren experienced in this chapter of her life. She offers some practical advice on how to deal with the doubt and fear we tend to go through when God asks us to do something hard.
Grab your copy of Stolen here (aff).

Welcome to Episode 187 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
I hope you enjoyed visiting with some of our 2025 episodes over the summer! I know I did!
But now it's time to introduce you to some great new guests this fall & winter, starting with Kate Fassbender.
Kate is here to share about her love of the arts and of helping families who are living with a dementia diagnosis. Do they go together? Kate thinks so, and the impact she's making speaks for itself.
After disconnecting our call, I had a practical question pop into my head, and Kate was gracious enough to answer via email. I know you haven't heard the episode yet, but you can refer to this after you do.
Me: What is a tip or suggestion you would offer to someone who has a family member living with dementia to spark or build connection where they are?
Kate: Be receptive. It can be difficult when a loved one starts to repeat themselves, talks not in full ideas or sentences, but what I call “sparks of thought.” Listen to the stories they repeat. Look in their eyes for what they are communicating with you. Notice the small upturn of the mouth indicating a smile or moment of peace. Spot when the fingers start to wiggle to a song. Then, when the moment arrives when you find it difficult to connect, share that story they told 20 times in less than an hour. Listen to that piece of music that made them move and their eyes sparkle. Connection is not always conversation. Connection is sometimes in those quiet, near-invisible moments. It can be difficult to receive someone living with dementia. The frustrations in communication, the fear of how the disease has progressed since the last time you saw them. The shifting of dreams. No longer being able to relate to your loved one as you once did. I will never deny the challenges of the place. It is, however, in being receptive that we can restore our relationships in dementia. It takes practice and patience, and in doing so, you are uplifting the dignity not only of the person before you, but of yourself, your relationship with that person, and magnifying the good that dementia cannot erase.
Thank you, Kate, for giving us this Bonus Wisdom!

Welcome to Episode 186 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This week's Summer Rewind features Kylie Hein and is our last for this year.
In her original episode, number 146, Kylie shared her story of how some harsh words spoken led to a deeper understanding of God's friendship.
Kylie was at a crossroads where she asked herself if she was going to allow this situation to draw her closer to God or pull her away from Him.
She chose to be open and allow God to work in her life. This led her to the work she does today: helping women in their relationship with God through Christian Coaching and Spiritual Direction.
Depending on how new you are to the show, enjoy these great conversations again, or discover them for the first time.

Welcome to Episode 185 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This week's Summer Rewind features Brooke Joiner.
In her original episode, number 142, Brooke shared her story of following God's prompting to go to a foreign country to serve others. What she didn't realize was what she would gain as a result of her obedience.
Serving the poorest of the poor, Brooke found herself in a difficult situation until a fellow American introduced her to someone from yet another country who spoke very little English.
You might imagine that this would add to her difficult situation, which it did for a little bit. But what happened next was something neither of them had in mind when they set out to serve.
Depending on how new you are to the show, enjoy these great conversations again, or discover them for the first time.

Welcome to Episode 184 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This week's Summer Rewind features Steven M. Bell.
In his original episode, number 140, Steven shared his story of addiction and recovery.
But not just that... he shared how listening to his son began a conversion journey. And during that journey, his addiction got worse, to the point of almost losing everything.
Because of the way God works, it was that conversion that helped prepare him for what he needed to do in order to experience recovery and redemption from the alcohol that had a hold on him.
He had to get uncomfortable.
And then his Father showed Steven that He, too, was listening.
Depending on how new you are to the show, enjoy these great conversations again, or discover them for the first time.

Welcome to Episode 183 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This week's Summer Rewind features Allison Brown.
In her original episode, number 122, Allison shared her story of living with chronic illness for the last 30+ years.
She shared about the difficulties with her classmates, as well as those experienced as an adult.
But we also talked about her friendship with St. Therese and St. Mary Magdalene; one of whom has a feast day on Allison's birthday.
With 30+ years of living with chronic illness, Allison offers hope and radiates joy. She even lit up when discussing a group she's a part of. This group supports her, reflecting to her the person God created her to be, the exact opposite of what she experienced from her group of classmates.
Allison is truly inspirational, letting us know that just because you live with chronic anything doesn't mean your value is diminished.
Depending on how new you are to the show, enjoy these great conversations again, or discover them for the first time.

Welcome to Episode 182 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This week's Summer Rewind features Andy Campbell.
In his original episode, number 102, Andy shared his story of multiple traumas and how they led to some core beliefs about how God made him and who he was.
Andy and I discussed multiple storms he's walked through in his life, but the most shocking one was when he was given six months to live ~ almost seven years ago.
God put him on a path of discovery, and Andy learned to listen to the still, small voice God used.
But we also talked a lot about forgiveness, and what it took for him to be able to forgive.
It's a great conversation that didn't go as I had pre-planned it, which goes to show that the Holy Spirit's plan is always better than ours!
Depending on how new you are to the show, enjoy these great conversations again, or discover them for the first time.
