Seasons with Purpose

Today on the pod, my friend Alicia Mott-Comitto shares her season of parenting through two NICU babies, the youngest of which has Klinefelter Syndrome.  She’s honest about the grief that goes along with the expectations we set as parents, how trauma drives an out-of-body experience and how to get through it when you’re in the thick of it.  She shares the honest realities of being a special needs parent and the stages of grief, but SO much joy, that comes with it. 

This conversation is so relatable for any parent walking through hard seasons with kids, a...

As we approach the Winter Solstice this Sunday, we're diving deep into what to expect in winter and how it shows up in our daily lives over the next few months. We share three questions to review what served you best in Spring, Summer and Fall, what you need to let go of and how to find light in the darkness this holiday season.  You can download the Winter Purpose Page here and take it along with you to your holiday dinner as a conversation starter - www.seasonswithpurpose.org!

Our main goal for winter?  Pruning.  This is...

Today we're diving again into seasons of parenting, this time in the adoption world with my friend and neighbor Sara Freeman.  We cover the truths of the adoption process, what they prayed for through all of the ups and downs of the process and the joy it's brought to the parenting triad - her and her husband, the biological parents and the adopted child.  

Sara and her husband Shawn are the proud parents of a 9 year old son and two daughters - ages 23 and 7. Sara was born and raised in West Virginia before meeting the love of he...

As I reflect on what I'm most thankful and grateful for this year, I wanted to share this story of a tough scoliosis diagnosis that my oldest received earlier this year and what we all learned in it.  I'll cover the inconsistency in the industry right now, how we navigated them by continuing to ask questions and where we are nine months later!   My prayer is that this helps anyone who has just received a Scoliosis diagnosis or is battling any medical diagnosis at this time.  

I mention in the episode the program that we chose for our f...

My friend Ben Boyd has just begun a season of retirement that looks nothing like he thought it would, but is challenging him in ways he never thought possible.  After losing his Mom in late 2023 and battling through a profound season of grief, he gained a whole new perspective on the question of "What’s Next?"  With a lot of time, listening and grace, he's changed that question to "what's the next right thing?" and "does something HAVE to be always be next?"   

We cover the power of relationships in grief and diving into new experiences, the lesson...

Sharing a great idea today to document the harvest of this year - the simplicity of a Gratitude Journal.  It doesn't have to be fancy, just consistent and easy to reference on the toughest days.  This is the time to document the beauty of this Fall season - store up ALL of the joy and goodness so you can use it and reference it in the midst of winter.

Join me as we unpack what I call the weather Seasons - Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.  What they mean, how we go into each one with intentionality and how they can align to other seasons in our lives.  Because it's October, we spend some additional time on Fall or Autumn as the leaves start to change and we see the harvest begin in my part of the world.
