Thanks to my cousin Lea for reminding me how much I actually really love recording this Podcast. This year turned into a quarterly recording by maybe next year I'll be more organised and post more regularly. We'll see. I hope you are doing so very well and staying healthy. Please wear a mask if you can and be sure to channel your introvert self and stay in your home as much as possible. You're the best. See you in 2021. Hopefully.

I'm the most unreliable podcaster you know! Maybe I'll do better. Probably not, but I love ya'all anyway. Hope you're holding it together quarantine-style. Get ahold of me if you need help. Thanks pals.

Follow my weight loss and health efforts at its.me.sam.poscast on Instagram. Warning: If you listen on speaker with your kids in the room, probably dont do that towards around 45 minutes to the end. Thanks for listening. Tell a friend, leave a rating, and help me grow this podcast so I can keep paying to taxi my kids everywhere, everyday. Thanks. I love ya'all more than chewing ice.

I turned 37 years old. I'm no longer a smoker. I no longer drink alcohol. I'm thankful to eliminate secret habits from my life. I'm thankful for this platform to share about my life and I hope and pray that my words are helpful to even just one person. Being vulnerable sucks. But I'll keep doing it if it means that maybe I could help someone. Contact me: its.me.sam.podcast@gmail.com Thanks for listening. I love ya'all more than the first day of school.

I recorded this episode before the tragic mass shooting on August 4th in one of my favorite spots, the Oregon District in Dayton, Ohio. If you're the praying type, please pray that God would be near the families of the victims, those that were injured, those who left uninjured but will have a difficult emotional recovery, and for the city of Dayton. Thanks pals.

We live in a society that makes demands on how women should look literally from the hair on our head, down to our toenails and every part in between. I typically look like a homeless troll who could use a nap, but I am spending a big pile of money to have straight teeth, so maybe I'm caught up in societal standards more than I realize. Where do you fall? And for Christians, how do we handle the expectations of this world without getting too "caught up?" How much is too much? I love ya'all more t...

For this episode we're jumping into a new series of topics. My hope is that you'll listen and provide feedback on what you think and feel about the question presented. Leave a comment or send me an email at its.me.sam.podcast@gmail.com. . As Christians, we're called to live every part of our life "on mission." How do vacations fit into that calling? Discuss! I love ya'all more than Chick-fil-a ice. Thanks for listening.

First, hamster anatomy. Then, Disney, moon rocks, and the German goddess. Roll from there straight into Hufflepuff talk. We touch on Halloween, Jazz Cat, and MLM scams. There are so many twists and turns to this episode. I challenge you to listen closely and take it all in. It's a wild ride! . Thank you so much to my guests for this episode! .

I'm kicking off a new series this week! That's right. A SERIES. Which is mostly a way to bind me to continue recording, and also a way for me to share some opinions of mine that may not be the norm or maybe even unpopular. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Let's share opinions! Thanks for listening. ‐------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This week I'm sharing about my opinion regarding religious freedom in the schools. Both my 7 year old and 12 year ...

50th episode! kind of. If you look back through, you'll see that I clearly have an issue with counting and have mixed up episode numbers along the way. I need a personal assistant. Anyway, today's episode is three life updates bc it's been a while since I talked to ya'all. Also, a minor rant rant about the importance of letting your kids experience and navigate feelings; specifically failure and rejection. I love ya'all more than being on time. Thanks for listening.

For today's episode Jill is back to record a follow-up to episode 33, 'Why I can't say congratulations'. Check out that episode first, and then come back over to hear Jill elaborate about how our mistakes can affect our future, God's plan for relationships, and how to recover that plan. Jill and her husband have been married for 17 years and meet with couples in their church for pre-marital counseling. She brings wisdom and truth in a way that will both challenge and encourage you. I'm so gratef...

It's about to be Valentine's Day ya'all. Seems like a good time to get vulnerable. Thoughtcatalog.com has '37 Good Questions To Ask If You Want To Get Vulnerable With Someone You Love.' Although the most ridiculous title, the questions are pretty deep and will definitely lead to some transparent conversation. So, for this episode I've answered only 10 of them to keep it from being a 8 hours long. Enjoy. I love ya'all more than Colby cheese. Thanks so much for listening.

Lots of rambling. Resolution check-in. And then these quotes steal the show: • "The path to greater things begins with surrender and sacrifice." "Those that God uses the most hold onto the least." • I wanted to write these out for you just in case you wanted to get them in tattoo or have your grandma embroider one of them on a pillow for you. Have her do one for me while she's at it. Thanks so much for listening.

I'm here! I'm back! My family survived Noro virus 2019 and we're stronger for it. This episode is about why I prefer puking, a special shout-out to foster parents (especially all my single foster mommas✊), and an encouragement to find your space to be your authentic self. ALSO, how could no one tell me that I've been spelling 'forty' wrong for SIX episodes?! I'm so disappointed in myself. I'll be correcting it immediately, which means that you'll be getting notifications of seven new episodes......

Let's start talking more to break down the stigma and shame often times associated with mental health in the church community. I had a panic attack in church, so I'm clearly doing my part to break down barriers. 😂🤷♀️🤦♀️ Enjoy listening and contact me any time.

In this episode, I'm challenging you to stick to your goals, dreams, and plans. Choose consistency and discipline. And if you need to, shout at the devil and claim the power of Jesus. Thank you so much for listening. I love ya'all more than bacon.

if you're listening to this episode it's important for you to know that I love and care about you so much. I haven't posted a new episode for a few weeks because I recorded this and even though I'm very passionate about the topic, it was difficult for me to commit to posting it. I'll be following this up very soon with a corrections episode to clarify a few mistakes that I made and also Jill will join me in that episode to share more detail about the specifics of God's plan for relationships and...

God is faithful. With His grace, I have learned a few things from the dumb choices that I've made. I'm just passing on what I've learned and praying that even one person might be encouraged or challenged to do better than what I've done. I love ya'all more than my heated mattress pad (it's real cold here!❄). Thanks so much for listening. • Email: its.me.sam.podcast@gmail.com • Instagram: its.me.sam.podcast

I had an exciting encounter at Kroger last weekend that reminded me that we can help people without knowing all the details of their circumstances. In this season it's easy to get caught up in family traditions, delicious food, and making out our lists for Santy Claus. All good things, but I challenge you to open your eyes wide and look around for ways to serve other people. It's cliche, but I promise you, giving always feels better than receiving. I love ya'all more than carbs. Thanks so much f...

For this episode I want to encourage you to know that you're not the only one dealing with hard parenting moments. My son used to pee on his bedroom floor! Come on! We're all dealing with stuff! Let's talk about it and never believe that we're alone in our frustration, pain, sadness or disappointment. Parenting is hard. Even if you're posting picture-perfect posts on social media of your kids, please find your people who you can be honest with and get support for what's really going on in your h...
