Let The Light Shine Through

Yes!! This is so good! It is not necessary to go around preaching sermons or praying publicly at work to reveal your faith (and that might even get you in trouble in some places – yikes!). The love of Jesus in our hearts shines through our character, actions, and how we treat others. That kind of light cannot help but radiate, touching others through kindness, humility, and a willingness to serve.

Servant Leadership: Leading Others with Love and Laughter | Ep. 31

What does leadership look like to you? When you think of the qualities of a great leader, what comes to mind? On today’s episode of the Juggling Life, Finding Balance Podcast, host Vivian Cumins is joined by colleague Erika Mascarenas, and the two discuss Erika’s distinct leadership style and what it looks like to lead like Christ. Erika describes her leadership style as “leading with love and laughter,” and she believes above anything else, she is a creation of God who is meant to live out God’s kindness in her everyday life. Vivian and Erika address the challenges of working in the competitive, secular workplace, where love and laughter aren’t always present. But just like a home, a workplace has its own values and dynamics, and Erika believes it is essential to lead in a way that allows colleagues and employees to grow and feel cared for. Erika also discusses the importance of what she calls a “4G lifestyle,” which consists of God, grit, gratitude, and grace. Growing up, these we…

Get Curious!

When conflict arises, we often react defensively or take offense. But what if we shifted our response from defensive to detective? Instead of letting harsh words or difficult interactions build walls, we could use them as windows into understanding both ourselves and others more deeply. Watch / Listen to Chris Wilson, PhD, and her amazing advice and guidance on conflict resolution and effective communication skills (WEDNESDAY, 11/6/2024) on the JUGGLING LIFE, FINDING BALANCE PODCAST with Vivian Cumins.

The Heart of Resolution: Strengthening Relationships Through Conflict | Ep. 030

Are you struggling with some sort of relational conflict in your life? Would you like to know how to solve arguments quicker and calmer? On today’s episode of the Juggling Life, Finding Balance Podcast, Vivian is joined by Dr. Christina (Chris) Wilson, a Christian Life Coach with a PhD in conflict analysis and resolution. Chris has a background working in juvenile court and court mediation, but further than that, she remembers growing up in a household in which conflict wasn’t always handled well. It was Chris’ assumption that conflict is always emotionally-charged and sometimes volatile, until God showed her another way. Her scholarly research and Biblical knowledge has changed the way to which Chris views conflict, and she now encourages others to view tension and argument in a different light. We tend to view conflict as detrimental to ourselves and our relationships, but Chris reminds listeners that not all conflict is inherently bad. Oftentimes, when handled well, it can streng…

Climbing Out of the Divorce Ditch and Creating your Comeback | Ep. 027

Have you been through a recent divorce or separation, and are seeking encouragement and advice in this next stage of life? On today’s episode, Vivian is joined by Heidi Bee, a divorce comeback coach who is passionate about leading and mentoring women dealing with the aftermath of marriage separation. After going through a divorce and realizing that the resources she needed were not out there, Heidi began her own practice of coaching and empowering women in the same position that she was once in. Vivian and Heidi discuss the importance of self-reclamation, a supportive community, and a focus on the future, and they give listeners practical advice for navigating life after divorce. For many women, divorce can feel like a ditch in which they aren’t sure how exactly they got there and they aren’t sure how to get out. But if they stay in that ditch, they will never get to experience the joys of a life outside of it. Instead of worrying about the why, a newly divorced woman should focus h…

Abundance Activated: Thriving Amidst Life's Transitions | Ep. 026

Have you ever felt like the Lord might have a different, greater calling for your life? On today’s episode, Vivian is joined by Samantha Semans, who felt this very calling and now encourages other women to seek lives of godliness and abundance. Samantha is the founder of the Abundant Woman Collective, an organization that is centered on community and fullness of life that is found in the Lord. While Samantha spent many years in both the medical and marketing career fields, she felt God tugging at her heart to step into ministry, and she speaks to Vivian about the challenges, successes, and growth that she’s experienced within that transition. The Bible tells us that in Christ, our lives can be ones of abundance, because the plans that the Father has for us are far greater than anything we can dream on our own. Many women, including Vivian and Samantha, have found themselves at a point in their lives when they made the decision to surrender their plans for God’s plans. When you make t…

Eyes Forward

It is okay to mourn the hurt felt by abandonment, but we should never park in that space forever. Have you ever seen a marathon runner look back? When they do, they lose their stride and often stumble – sometimes falling and losing the race. Be encouraged to keep your eyes forward. Such thoughtful wisdom in this clip from special guest, Tamala May.
