  • 51. Christmas Isn't Always the Same for Trauma Survivors - I See You
    Dec 24 2024

    Welcome to Episode 51 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    This episode is my Christmas message and I share some things that may help, or at least provoke thought, you navigate this season of profound peace, love, and joy when, perhaps, those are not the feelings you are experiencing.

    Know that you are seen and loved. Period.

    Whatever you are walking through right now; no matter your situation, I see you. But more importantly, God sees you and is walking beside you. Maybe, He's even carrying you through.

    I hope you find some comfort in this episode. You are not alone.

    Armor Up.

    Fight the Good Fight.

    Seek Beauty.

    Nichole was hit with three strikes in approximately six months, as the mother of six young children.

  • 47. Diagnosed with Cancer at a Young Age Fueled Her Fire to Help Others Share Their Stories with April Stearns
    Nov 26 2024
    Welcome to Episode 47 of the Warrior Words podcast! Cancer is a disease of older people, right? Sadly, this is not true. Children, teens, and young adults are being diagnosed more and more. What do you do if you're the only one you know who is undergoing cancer treatment as a young adult with a baby at home? There are no support groups. There's no one to contact who is currently in treatment or has survived for you to connect with. Now, there are online groups for just about anything you can imagine, but 10, 15, or 20 years ago? Not-so-much. April navigated this difficult time in her life in a world without much social media and no local groups for women her age. But she didn't let it stop her! She instead, allowed it to light a fire - a fire that would burn and grow into a wildfire supporting women 50ish or younger who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Tune in to learn what she did, and continues to do, with that fire!

    Nov 19 2024

    Welcome to Episode 46 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    Pregnancy is something women have been experiencing since the beginning of time. Some women have phenomenal experiences and others' experiences can be downright horrendous. Sadly, there are many reasons for this.

    In this week's episode, I speak with Brigid who has had five different experiences - one of which literally tore her up inside. And yet she went on to have more children.

    How does someone do this?

    How do we continue to do something that hurts us? Well, we find a way to make it not hurt so badly.

    Listen in to discover what Brigid did and how she's now helping other women.
