The podcast is BACK 🎉 (and ohhh this episode is GOOD)

I have an exciting announcement! The Equipping Godly Women podcast is officially BACK! And honestly? It just feels good to say that out loud. I’ve missed having a place where we can have REAL conversations about the hard, messy, oh-good-grief-what-now parts of life that every Christian mom deals with… but nobody wants to admit out loud. Each week, we’ll be diving into thought-provoking, perspective-shifting conversations that'll make you think, “Oh wow… I’ve never heard it explained like that before! That makes SO much sense.” Not fluffy encouragement. Not more guilt. Not another list of “10 things you should be doing but aren’t.” (Though you know I love those too. lol) Just honest, thoughtful conversations that make your life feel a little clearer and a little lighter… and help you follow Jesus in the middle of YOUR real, everyday life, not some idealized version of it. And in today’s episode, we’re jumping right in... ​ ​ Today, Pastor Mike Novotny and I are exploring the question: What do you do when someone you love is clearly struggling… but you’re not sure whether to speak up? (Or what if *you’re* the one quietly falling apart, but you're scared to admit it and don’t even know where to begin?) ​ In this episode, we dive into:
​ The topic is heavy, but so, so needed. And best of all... You’ll walk away with the clarity and confidence you need to finally stop second-guessing yourself and move forward with confidence and clarity. ​ Where to Listen: How to Speak Up When Someone You Love Is Self-Destructing
​ I’m so thrilled to be back in your earbuds again. Truly. Thank you for being here. And get ready, because the shows I have lined up for you are going to be GOOD. ​ With love (and so much excitement!) -- Brittany Ann Equipping Godly Women ​ p.s. If you find this conversation helpful, be sure to check out Mike’s latest book, How to Talk Taboo, for even more biblical wisdom and advice for whatever you (or a loved one) are facing today. |

What do you do when someone you love is clearly struggling, but you don't know how to help (and you're secretly worried about making it worse)? Most of us aren't ignoring hurting people because we don't care. We're just completely overwhelmed. We don't want to say the wrong thing. We don't feel qualified. And honestly, we assume this is what pastors and professional counselors are for. Except they can't keep up. People are hurting at a scale we've never seen before. Anxiety, depression,...
We're in the home stretch before Christmas. Are you feeling completely overwhelmed and frazzled yet? Christmas has a funny way of bringing out the best intentions… and the shortest fuses. You want to soak it all in. Make memories. Be present. Be patient. But suddenly your calendar is full. There’s your husband’s company Christmas party to get ready for, extra cooking and baking for get-togethers with friends and family, kids who are bouncing off the walls with excitement, and a baby who has...
Why is making friends as an adult so awkward? You know what I'm talking about... Have you ever walked into a women’s event or Bible study, spotted an open seat… and immediately worried, “Will they think I’m weird if I sit there?” Or maybe you finally worked up the courage to text another mom to hang out… and then reread the message ten times before sending it. (And she didn’t respond right away? Instant spiral.) Or maybe you’ve reached out before, tried to be friendly, tried to make plans…...
