How to Hack Your Motivation When You Have None
This episode was inspired by a question from my friend Chris, who asked how to find motivation to keep going when you feel like you have nothing to go on. I sat for awhile with this question (thanks Chris) because it's something I've worked on and talked about for a long time but man, never has it felt so applicable to my life. I know each of you, even if you're not working through a divorce, are probably, have or have had a hard season you need to move through and move on from, so here are my ten motivation...

Is It Hard For You to Talk About Race? Dr. Ed Barron is Here to Break It Down.
Welcome to the new Rise Together. We wanted to start out on this new journey by having an open, honest, forgiving, uncomfortable, but above all hopeful conversation about race.

In this episode we get into it, from the way white supremacy robs all of us of our humanity to the common everyday occurrences that work...

Our adoption story, like so many other parents’ stories out there, was anything but a straight line.

You’ve probably read Rachel’s words on this story before, but here in this episode you’ll get to...
