In this episode, we got to hang out with Sahil Bloom—entrepreneur, investor, author and all-around deep thinker—to chat about his new book, The 5 Types of Wealth. Spoiler alert: wealth isn’t just about money! Sahil breaks down the five types of wealth and shares why focusing on all of them (and not just your bank account) leads to a richer, more fulfilling life. If you’ve ever felt like you’re chasing success but missing the mark, this conversation will help you get back on track! Sahil is so inspiring and we love how open he is about his own personal struggles to get to where he is today.

Today we dove into a topic we’ve been talking a lot about ever since we became parents of three kids and that’s “pruning” in our lives. After we became a family of five we really had to sit down and figure out what was the best use of our time and take a look at our top priorities. We ended up having several things we knew we needed to cut out for the sake of the goals we have for our family, marriage and career. We’ve talked so much about this topic and we would love to hear if you can relate :) We hope this episode inspires you to re-evaluate what’s really important to you and align your time and energy with those priorities.

Today we got to interview Rich and DawnCheré Wilkerson, a couple we’ve been wanting to meet for a while and the conversation didn’t disappoint! After an 8 year battle with infertility, DawnCheré and her husband Rich are here to share their story of God’s faithfulness after a long season of waiting. We talked about DawnCheré’s powerful new book that explores what it means to find purpose, joy, and strength in seasons of waiting, and how we are all waiting on something in our lives. Together, Rich and DawnCheré share how their journey through infertility, ministry, and unanswered prayers transformed their perspective on pain, purpose, and God’s timing. So whether you’re in a holding pattern or coming out of a hard season, we hope this conversation reminds you that your story is still unfolding. Love you guys!

Today we sat down with two incredible resources and human beings, beloved counselors and best-selling authors, Sissy Goff and David Thomas from Daystar Counseling. We have learned SO much from them over the years. With decades of combined experience walking alongside children and families, Sissy and David bring wisdom, warmth, and practical tools to the table as they share insights from their highly anticipated book series for kids  called “The Daystar Dog Series.” We dive into topics like childhood anxiety,  emotional resilience, the importance of connection, and what parents can be doing to check in with their child’s emotions.  Whether you're a parent, caregiver, teacher, or someone who simply loves the next generation, we hope conversation leaves you encouraged and equipped.
