Have you ever felt like the days are just slipping away, lost in the shuffle of responsibilities, distractions, and to-do lists? What if I told you that today isn’t just something you passively experience—it’s something you actively live?
That’s exactly what Carol McLeod shares in her inspiring book, Today Is a Verb, and I had the absolute joy of sitting down with her to talk about it on the Choose 2 Think Inspirational Podcast! If you've ever felt overwhelmed by clutter and the shame that can come with it, you are not alone. In my recent interview with decluttering expert Dana K. White, we explored the deeper connection between home organization and spirituality. Dana, the author of Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House: He Cares About Your Heart, shared her personal journey from being a self-proclaimed "messy person" to becoming a leader in the decluttering space. But her approach isn’t just about having a picture-perfect home—it’s about embracing grace, understanding mindset shifts, and creating a space that brings peace, not pressure. How Clutter Affects Your Mind and MoodHave you ever noticed how a messy space makes you feel anxious or scattered? Science backs this up. Studies in neuroscience show that clutter competes for our attention, increases cortisol (the stress hormone), and makes it harder to focus. Simply put, a cluttered space often leads to a cluttered mind.
Dana shared how decluttering isn’t just about organizing—it’s about mental clarity and peace. When your surroundings are chaotic, your thoughts can feel just as jumbled. But when you take control of your space, you also take control of the thoughts and emotions tied to it. Have you ever felt stuck in toxic thinking, addiction, or perfectionism? In my latest interview on the Choose 2 Think Inspirational Podcast, I had the privilege of speaking with Brenda Kennison, the founder of Day 1 of Sobriety and a Certified Neurocycle Facilitator. Brenda’s journey from depression, addiction, and self-doubt to peace, freedom, and intimacy with God is nothing short of remarkable.
In this conversation, we explored how renewing the mind and rewiring toxic thought patterns helped her overcome alcoholism, perfectionism, and rejection. If you've ever struggled with mental health battles, anxiety, or unhealthy coping mechanisms, Brenda’s story will inspire you to take captive every thought and step into the abundant life God has for you. Have you ever felt stuck—trapped in a season of life where every step forward feels like a monumental challenge? If so, you’re not alone. Many of us experience moments when the weight of life’s challenges seems insurmountable. That’s why I was thrilled to interview Josiah “JJ” Harling, author of the transformative book Stride: Moving Forward When You Feel Stuck, on the Choose 2 Think Inspirational Podcast.
In this uplifting episode of the Choose 2 Think Inspirational Podcast, I sat down with Marnie Swedberg to explore faith-driven resilience, joy, and practical ways to cultivate an overcomer’s mindset. Here’s a peek into some of the insights Marnie shared, which are sure to inspire you to live boldly and joyfully.
