At the height of her business, Alison Werder made the difficult decision to dissolve her subscription style service and used her wisdom and resources around her to pivot into several new opportunities. She talks about getting honest about letting go and how that can give freedom to you and everyone around you!

Beauty Queen, Jill Turbak, has struggled with anxiety and depression since she was young. She attempted suicide at age 13 and since becoming Mrs. South Dakota International, she has taken on a subject that is very important to me - mental health. She is lifting the shame stigma on talking, reaching, and equipping us to better understand the trouble of those suffering.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, procrastination, anxiety, or feeling stuck, you are not alone! I, myself, have sought counseling from my wonderful guest, Rebecca Wiener.

Jeremy Brown, CEO of Throne Publishing Group, is the guy who helped me write and publish my book, “Equipped to Execute.” He and his team are extremely passionate about telling people’s stories and he’s joining me to talk about the importance of leaving a legacy for future generations and how to instill identity in your children by living YOUR OWN. Don’t miss this powerful episode! The 3rd episode of my podcast was titled “Leaving a Legacy the Simple Way” and it’s one of the most downloaded episodes EVER! I wanted to take a deeper dive into the concept of legacies so I called in the perfect guest, Jeremy Brown. In order to leave a legacy, Jeremy said you must: Know who you are… Ask yourself “What is my story?” Identify patterns, roles, and situations that repeat (it’s helpful to have another person involved in this process) Ask yourself good questions like “How do I want to be remembered?” Pick 4 words that represent who you are and the legacy you want to leave). The most powerful way to instill identity in your children is to live your own identity! Speak affirmations/prayers/declarations out loud and realize the power of your words! (For more on this subject, check out my earlier podcast episode called “The Power of Words”!) In order to give future generations of my family the best chance to succeed, you must: Be who you truly are (and know your identity)! Integrate into the world of your child and positively affirm their strengths and uniqueness (and as early as possible)! Tell them things you love about them. Find out what they like and encourage them in it. We should follow our kids in the way God is leading them… not try to mold them into what WE think is best. Let your kids into YOUR day too… Let them hear you speak things into your life and then follow up with how things turned out!

Before writing her first children’s book, My Favorite Job is You, Ashley worked in the high-stakes world of political fundraising. While she loved her career, she experienced a lot of mom-guilt and shame going back to work. Ashley’s balancing act with motherhood and her career led to this sweet book , which is an anthem for working moms everywhere and lets our little ones know that no matter what we do when we are away, being home is our favorite job!

I get asked frequently by other product-based business owners whether consignment or wholesale is right for them. In this episode, I lay out which businesses are best for each method and talk about my experience trying both with my company, Rebekah Scott Designs.

I recently read a book called “A Heart for Him” which details a mother’s journey through the loss of her infant daughter, Ivy. This “horribly beautiful” story hit home for me, as my family has been through the pain of losing my brother, Philip, to suicide 4 years ago (almost to the day that this episode airs).  I had the honor of speaking with the author, Anna Friese, and we both hope this episode brings you comfort and encourages you to trust God’s purpose and plan, even through devastating loss and heartache.
