In today’s episode of Breaking Chains, I am joined by a powerhouse woman, breast cancer survivor and builder of people, Jamie Dahl. She welcomes us into her world and shares her personal story with extreme pain and loss, body image healing and how it became a cornerstone for hope and resilience. We talk about the transformational power of stillness through life's most challenging moments and how what we perceive as our weakest, messiest, most humiliating experiences are often our greatest masterpieces in the making.

We talk about the role of faith, family and community throughout these battles. To anyone facing their own set of giants right now, this episode brings a penetrating message on the redemptive power of love, hope, trust, and purpose. 

Key Takeaways:

• Jamie's journey as a breast cancer survivor illustrates the strength found in vulnerability and stillness.
• Recognizing the presence of divine comfort and support is vital during life's challenging moments.
• True...

In this episode, I dive deeper into the topics of power, authority, and grace. I talk about the importance of understanding the true source of power and the concept of authority. I discuss how power can come from either a life-giving source or a counterfeit source, and I encourage you to seek power from God rather than chasing power for control or egoic purposes. I also highlight the significance of taking authority over your thoughts, words, and atmosphere, and remind you that power is given through grace, not earned.

Key Takeaways:

• Power comes from either a life-giving source (God) or a counterfeit source, and it is important to discern the true source of power.
• Taking authority over your thoughts, words, and atmosphere is crucial in operating from a place of true power.
• Power is given through grace and does not need to be earned or controlled.
• Seeking power for control or egoic purposes is not aligned with the true source of power.
• Understanding the concept of authority and...

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to break free from personal or generational burdens through faith and spiritual insight. In today's conversation, I sat down with Pastor Alex Kirk to dig into one of my favorite topics: spiritual power and authority!  Life's challenges almost always have a spiritual dimension that needs to be addressed in order for true freedom and healing to happen, yet most people completely ignore this realm altogether, or are still ill-equipped to go there. It’s time to get educated and step into the arena!  

While we may see some temporary behavior change by addressing the surface of an issue, we must go deeper if we want a true change of heart, a whole new set of belief systems and a renewed driving force behind our actions. We unpacked the concept of strongholds—the behavioral patterns that develop as defenses against the lies we believe that keep us hostage to irrational thoughts and behaviors. These strongholds can...

Episode Overview:

Are you living ON PURPOSE or are you still waiting to discover what that deeper purpose is? Are the burdens and weight of your past still keeping you from stepping into a life of excellence, marked by faith, fulfillment and God’s favor?

In today’s solo episode, I am sharing a behind the scenes peek of my upcoming book, "Drop the Armor." 

Truth is, If it was up to me I would have written a very different book. BUT when you go through something deeply transformational that completely revolutionizes your world - you can’t NOT talk about it! This is a very raw, real personal journey from one operating reality into a completely new space: My mind, my heart, my body, my marriage, my business has ALL been renewed!

As we prepare for the book launch, I’m honored to give you a glimpse into what makes this book not just another read on the shelf, but a truly transformational experience that I know will pierce your heart and open your eyes.

Today's episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to drive meaningful change in their lives and the lives of those around them! Often GREAT leadership is born out of great pain and an unwavering desire to make a difference in the world around you.

Today, I am joined by Josh Schaver, COO of Logan Ag - husband, father of 5, and member of our Ag Leadership Summit. What I love about Josh is that he is a leader who not only invests in his own growth, but consistently and actively implements what he learns into his team and organization. 

With raw honesty, Josh shared the heart-wrenching story of losing his daughter Penelope, and how it shattered his world. Amidst the darkness and soul searching that followed, he found solace in faith and a newfound purpose, igniting a new fire within himself to make her life have a lasting legacy.

We dove into the nitty-gritty of personal growth, with Josh sharing the daily action steps he uses to keep him pointed in the right direction and why...

In today’s episode, I am unpacking how to effectively communicate with a fiercely independent woman!  I know because I was one for so many years and to this day I am still a woman on fire for my calling. I'll share personal experience of being a strong-willed, highly driven female and drop some insights on how to navigate communication with this type of personality. Note: while we are talking about women today - much of this conversation can apply to anyone in our lives who seems to be hard to reach, highly opinionated and not receptive to feedback much of the time.

I will share what’s often hiding behind this ‘persona’ and how to meet her (or anyone who operates from this place) in a way that meets them where they are at while also influencing the conversation to move in a new - more aligned way for both of you.

We are talking about what NOT to do as well as what to do instead AND I am giving you a handful of powerful language that shifts the...

Today I’m joined by my husband, business partner and earthly King - Mark Jewell and we‘re talking relationship success, effective communication and habits to uplevel your marriage in EVERY area: logistics, energy, wealth, vision, finances and a UNITED front! 

We share the five key conversations that have breathed life into our relationship, from the daily briefs that keep us synched up in our daily routines, to the glue that holds us together found in our shared prayers. 

Through practices like the transition walk, we clean up the energy of daily stresses and find time for recalibration and reconnection. 

Plus two more MUST HAVE conversations to put into your calendar on a regular basis. These conversations, born out of frustration and also a desire to do better together - are steeped in intentionality and commitment. 

They have not only deepened our bond but expanded our vision beyond what we could do alone.

Today I’m joined by Kyler Kropf, CEO of Saddlebrooke Homes and we are talking about the life changing decision of making today our “DAY ONE” - instead of waiting until “some day” to get started or get things back in right order. 

Kyler is more than just an entrepreneur; he's a story of resilience, a testament to the power of belief in oneself, and an example of humble beginnings leading to extraordinary achievements. 

At the age of 19, with a vision far beyond his years, Kyler embarked on an entrepreneurial journey that was less about building sheds and tiny homes and more about constructing a life marked by purpose, peace, and prosperity. 

Coming from a small town in Arkansas, Kyler's early life was anything but easy. An 8th-grade dropout facing the limited prospects of a $250-a-week farm job, he saw a future for himself beyond the confines of conventional expectations. 

Without any formal education in...

What do you do when you feel you have nowhere left to GO? 

When nothing you are doing seems to be working any longer - in fact it’s only making things worse?

When you want to burn it all down and start over but you feel like you’ve got to fight for your life? 

Today's episode is inspired by some heartbreaking conversations I have had lately with men and women who have reached out to me. I have heard things like

“I don’t even want to be alive right now.”

“If I didn’t have my wife and kids waiting for me at home, depending on me - I would be checking out right now.”

“I have nowhere left to turn. Everyone I once thought I could rely on has turned on me or left the building”

Guys, this is not ONE  person. This is multiple people and conversations in a very short time. 

Seems to be a theme right now. Many are really struggling, feeling trapped by old lives and challenges are hitting them...

How do you maintain a sense of balance when you’re constantly on the move? 

I just returned from 4 weeks of non-stop travel for work and family events, not to mention the everyday projects I am working on in FULL swing - including the launch of my upcoming book, Drop the Armor. 

It's easy for us to hit a wall of exhaustion when we are running. 

Today I want to share 5 Foundational practices I have in place when I travel for work events that help keep me grounded and ensure I come home both rested and ready to rock on execution. 

Hint - we are breaking free of the constant RUN in order to create a new rhythm of work and recovery that brings us more than ‘achievements’ and busyness -  but greater bandwidth, clarity and the ability to execute from an inspired state!

Key Takeaways for High-Achieving Leaders:

• Embracing OPTIMIZATION Over Busyness:  I've learned firsthand that creating a better rhythm and practices in our daily routines not...
