How Do I Get Through to My Spouse?
Happy New Year, Friends! Susan here with my first blog entry of the new year. Even though we are a long way from spring, January seems like a good time for fresh starts as we step into 2023. As much as I’d like to hunker down and hibernate all winter, I feel God moving me to be diligent in my…
Read MoreWhen Your Old Beliefs Must Change to Grow
Morning friend, I’m back from my July break refreshed and recharged. I have a renewed sense of God’s desire for us as women, to help one another heal, grow, and thrive even in a scary uncertain world.

Read MoreIs Staying Well The Best Option?
Morning friends, I was in Chicago recently visiting with my family.

Morning friends, Today’s question is a follow up to last week’s discussion on what to tell the kids about what’s happening in the marriage. However, this week’s question is rooted in one mom’s fear of parental alienation when she separates. This is a very real issue in high conflict relationships and something you must be mindful of it if it…
Read MoreHow Do I Live With A Basically Good Man Who Is A Tyrant?
Morning friends, Thanks for your prayers. I had an amazing weekend speaking on Saturday in Iowa at Faith Community Church to over 500 women on how God Weaves Our Story into His Story. Women can hungry and broken and left hopeful, healed, and filled. Our God is so good. One more big event I need your prayers for next week.…
