An Open Letter to swHw moms in 2020

By |2020-08-06T13:21:29-04:00August 6th, 2020|Business, Faith, Faith-Based Leadership, Family|

To the swHw moms, You are not in control. That means you can’t make a decision “right” enough to set your kids up for guaranteed success and you can’t make a decision “wrong” enough to ruin their life. The voices and opinions of others that are keeping you up at night come from people that do not live in your house, did not birth your child, and will not be there at the end of this upcoming school year to cheer for you when it’s all over. And trust me, that day will come! Before you know it, this school year will be behind us and your child will have been loved, cared for, and in one piece. God loves your child more than you do. You need to get that. You may have given birth to them, but He gave life to them, He gave breath to them, and He has a purpose for them. And there’s not a pandemic big enough or a school year weird enough that can change His plan for them. Ignore the noise of the world. Listen to the voice of God. Rest in the Hands that are holding your child -- and [...]

5 Ways to Fight Against Digital Addiction

By |2020-07-30T15:02:40-04:00July 30th, 2020|Uncategorized|

When we planned Q2 back at the beginning of 2020, when quarantines were a thing of the past and social distancing was unheard of, we originally planned a digital detox for the month of April. [I know - it made us laugh too. Can you imagine us attempting to push through with our original plan when the majority of our entire lives -- from church to our jobs to our kids school -- went digital?!] So here we are, with the world slowly beginning to open back up in phases, after basically three months of living our lives at home and online. If there was ever a time to have an excuse for being overly digitally dependent, it's now! But rather than excuse some of the bad habits we've picked up, it's time to proactively fight against digital addiction. So each Friday in July, we've been sharing one tip on our social media channels (Follow us on Instagram and Facebook) if you're not already connected to us!) Here are all five tips we've shared so far: Need a few more? Inside swHw membership, we've put together a [...]

Teach Us To Pray

By |2020-07-15T14:57:48-04:00July 15th, 2020|Uncategorized|

In class this week, Somer Phoebus opened up with a simple question for us:  What is prayer?  The chat tab lit up almost in unison with: "talking to God."  That was not a surprise, seeing how most believers grew up hearing that definition of prayer. And it's not wrong. But it's also not 100% right. We know that because when one of the disciples asked Jesus to teach him how to pray, Jesus didn't respond with, "We're doing it right now. What's up?" Jesus responded with The Lord's Prayer (Luke 11:1-4 + Matthew 6:9-13).  So as we walked through The Lord's Prayer, Somer simplified and made clear exactly what it looks like to pray the way Jesus himself taught His disciples to pray.  Here's the simple [but powerful] breakdown:  Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your Name Father, show us Who you are. Make Yourself known to us in the most real way. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven I choose your way! Make things right in our world. Bring Heaven down. Give us each day our daily bread Sustain us with exactly what we need for today. No more, no [...]

swHw members represent nearly every industry in the workforce. But no matter whether you work full-time or part-time, paid or volunteer, inside corporate America or at your kitchen table, there's one thing you all never have enough of: TIME. So we get that you have to say no to a lot because to do what matters, you've learned you cannot do it all.  This is why every product or service we offer is created with you in mind - a purposed woman who desires growth + connection, but also needs flexibility + convenience for your already full schedule. Here's a few ways we work to save you time:  Biblical Foundation + Practical Application.  Every resource + class moves from Biblical foundation (not merely our opinion!) to practical application (not merely head knowledge). We're committed to His wisdom and our obedience.  Replays + Notes. Our classes are typically offered LIVE to allow for connection but if your work schedule does not allow you to be with us in real time, a replay is archived both in the member group + your member portal, along with a PDF of class notes. Recordings + Resources. Have something specific you'd like to know [...]
