2021 was a transformative year for us. Jeremiah’s spiritual awakening in June had a ripple effect, shifting the way we think about think success and forcing us to prioritize what matters most. We had the most rewarding year of our lives financially and deepened our relationship as a couple. And yes, we did fun things like buy Jeremiah’s dream car and install a pool in our backyard. But we also realized that having things doesn’t matter much if you’re carrying trauma in your body, trying to outru...

We’re on vacation at an all-inclusive resort right now, surrounded by overindulgence. And when other people find out that we don’t drink, they often justify the fact that they’re making a different choice. But here’s the thing: You’re an adult, and you don’t need our permission. If you’re happy with your decision to have an adult beverage or two, more power to you. If, on the other hand, you’re unhappy with the way you feel when you drink or you’re curious what life would be like without alcohol...

More people struggle with trauma than we realize. And we all cope with it in different ways. For me, the pain of feeling like I wasn’t enough made me a troublemaker in school.

You’ve no doubt heard the saying, ‘Comparison is the thief of joy.’ But I would argue that comparison steals a lot more than just our joy. Judging ourselves as less-than spikes emotions of anxiety and fear.

On this episode of Destined to Be, I discuss what makes comparison so debilitating, sharing how my self-wort...
