In this episode, I sit down with renowned author, coach, and friend Bob Goff to discuss his latest devotional, Catching Whimsy: 365 Days of Possibility. Bob invites us to rethink "whimsy" not as something frivolous, but as a purposeful pursuit that brings joy, curiosity, and lightness to our lives. Bob introduces us to the concept of the “Jesus aroma”—a reminder to reflect on how our actions and presence reflect Christ’s love. He challenges us to live intentionally, making choices that lift others and bring out the best in ourselves. With practical ideas, Bob encourages us to spread whimsy through acts of kindness and service to our families, friends, and neighbors. We also dive into the importance of focusing on the big picture and asking ourselves, “What will outlast me?” This conversation will uplift you and give you a fresh perspective on how small, meaningful actions can make a lasting impact.

In today’s episode, I explore three powerful permissions that can significantly enhance your productivity, creativity, and overall well-being. Embrace these permissions to break free from perfectionism, unrealistic long-term planning, and the fear of starting small. Key Takeaways: Permission to Do Things at 80% Freedom from Perfection : Understand that aiming for 80% completion allows you to start and finish projects without the paralyzing need for perfection. Practical Application: Implementing this in both work and home life can lead to more completed projects and less overwhelm. Real-Life Impact: Moving deadlines forward and making adjustments in real-time helps achieve goals faster and keeps momentum. Permission to Not Plan Past 3-5 Years Focused Planning: Limiting planning to 3-5 years makes goals more tangible and less intimidating. Concrete Steps: Break down long-term dreams into actionable yearly steps, allowing for more detailed and realistic planning. Personal Example: Sharing a real-life example of building a bunkhouse, illustrating how short-term planning made a dream actionable and achievable. Permission to Do All Things at 1% Initially Small Steps to Big Dreams : Embrace the power of starting with just 1% effort. Every significant accomplishment begins with a tiny step. Compounding Effect: Understand how small, consistent actions lead to significant, compounding results over time. Practical Examples: From writing down ideas to making small inquiries, learn how to gradually build towards larger goals.

Life can be a whirlwind. That's why I am sharing 2 fantastic hacks for each of the systems I teach on this podcast! The best part? You can start using these right away! Me System: Pick a recharge moment for the week. Find a little pocket of time that's just for you to unwind and recharge, even if it's only for a few minutes! Wake up before your family. Be it 5 minutes or 2 hours, this small change can make a huge difference in setting a positive tone for the day. Family System: Plan family meals in advance. Not just the food, but schedule the actual meals. Breakfast, lunch, supper, snacks, all of it! Knowing when it will happen will create a tradition of "togetherness" and be worth a thousand memories! Sync up with your spouse. Initiate a "honey huddle" meeting or conversation with your spouse to discuss calendars, priorities and follow up on important tasks. (Get my free Honey Huddle agenda here !) Food System: Make your food decisions by 9 am each day. This simple habit will save you time and stress in the long run! Grocery shop once a week. Decide who will shop, where you need to go and make a list of what you need. Work System: Set aside dedicated blocks of time for work. Decide when you will work and stick to it. Blocking out time ensures you have a clear schedule for maximum productivity. Answer "why" you do your work. Keeping your motivation in mind will help you stay focused and inspired. Home System: Declutter once a week. Whether it's a drawer or an entire room, taking small, consistent steps will keep your space tidy and organized without overwhelming you. Create a laundry plan that fits your schedule. Whether it's bi-weekly, weekly or daily, decide what DONE looks like and communicate this to your family so they understand and respect your efforts. Be sure to check out my favorite products for each system! Let's make life a little less hectic together.

An agreement is something you’ve told yourself that you now accept as truth... But it may not necessarily be true! AND it may be harming your subconscious. I want to challenge these truths and teach you how to recognize them, how to replace them, and how to take steps to make the new agreement true. The first step in reversing agreements or truths is recognizing them. This part is crucial and can be difficult, as we are trying to un-do possibly decades of negativity that either we or someone else has planted within our hearts and minds. Watch for words like: “I am/am not.” “I can/can’t.” “I will/won’t.” “I do/don’t.” Write down your top 3 “agreements.” Write down a NEW agreement. Then plan 3 actionable steps to reverse the original agreement/truth. Here are some examples: Original agreement: “I am bad at math.” New agreement: “I am capable with my calculator and Excel spreadsheet.” Action Steps: Watch a YouTube video on basic math skills for business/life. Take a course on input and output for business. Learn 5 functions in Excel Original agreement: “I am unorganized.” New agreement: “I am organized.” Action Steps: Block 1 day to organize your desk. Take an organizing course. Help organize something for someone else. Original agreement: “I am a procrastinator.” New agreement: “I will plan accordingly.” Action Steps: Get a “procrastinating buddy” and help hold each other accountable. Reward yourself for a month (or a week) of not procrastinating. Buy yourself a planner or print a calendar and give yourself enough time (3+ hours) to write everything out and plan ahead! Affirmations Affirmations are short, powerful statements that you say (preferably out loud) that spark change in your life. They can be used to eliminate something from your life or help create something new in your life! Affirmations are used to consciously control your thoughts and will be a BIG HELP in reaffirming your new agreements! “I value my work.” “I am worth every penny I charge for my work.” “I can do this.” “I am good at math.” “I am organized.” I highly recommend googling affirmations and selecting ones that really speak to you. Print them off and say them out loud once a day. To make these EXTRA powerful, say them to yourself in the mirror! You will feel silly but TRUST ME… it’s powerful and it works! Don’t limit yourself by believing these agreements! Use the power within you to make positive changes and reverse these false truths.

Nothing says “love” like a business meeting with your spouse! HA! But seriously, Nick and I prioritize time once a month to talk about our calendars, budget, expectations, dreams, children, and more. With our busy lives, this meeting helps keep us on the same page and heading in the same direction. To set up your own monthly business meeting with your spouse, follow these simple steps! If you are single, find a mentor and set up a time to meet with him or her so you stay on track. Pick a date. We meet the last Thursday of every month. We recommend picking the same date or day each month so it’s easier to schedule! Have an agenda. This doesn’t have to be fancy… we use an index card! Keep scrolling to the bottom of this document for a sample agenda you can use! Remember your priorities. We can’t emphasize enough how important it is to set priorities, write them down, and have a copy with you for your meeting. If you need help, listen to my earlier podcast episode on the subject! Bring your calendars. Whether it’s a paper calendar or a fancy phone app, we highly recommend having a calendar for your family, work, and social events. If your schedule is too full, go back to your priority list and decide what doesn’t make the cut. Don’t forget to schedule a date night! Communicate your expectations. Be honest with each other about your expectations. This can help eliminate fights before they even start! Talk about your budget. Eliminate money fights by getting on the same page with money by having a budget. We recommend Financial Peace University and the Every Dollar App by Dave Ramsey. Remember your dreams and goals. If you don’t prioritize talking about your dreams and goals, when will you talk about them? Don’t lose sight of the big picture by making a point to discuss this monthly. Discuss your family. We have four kids so they are a big part of our lives! We pick two things for each of our kids to work on (which we learned from the book The Gist ). If you don’t have children, set these goals for each other instead! Talk about your Love Languages. The <a href="applewebdata://E2F630E8-6B24-44AD-BDBB-BE492454FE11/%3ciframe%20style=%22width:120px;height:240px;%22%20marginwidth=%220%22%20m

Kim Henderson joins me to talk about how her career success as an event planner led to some not-so-great “ah-ha” moments, causing her to leave her dream job to focus on her family and talks about how she still uses her God given talents. Do you need help identifying your strengths? We recommend taking the Strengths Finder quiz to help! What is your passion? Have you ever had some devastating “ah-ha” moments that have caused you to shift your focus? Have you asked yourself the million-dollar question, “If you were making $1 million, would you still do the job”? Who are the people in your life that you can ask to be truthful about your situation? How can you scale success by your way and not the world’s way? How can you still use your God-given talents and gifts but use them His way and not yours? Many times, we tell ourselves we must keep going. How can you embrace the word “surrender” and give it to God?

Building a company means wanting growth and profit but there are times when business ebbs and flows, and we need to think lean. As owner and designer of Rebekah Scott Designs , I have learned how to ride the waves and share my tips for thinking lean while still growing your company. When you own a business, you have to be sure to think abundantly but also think lean when cutting costs and improving efficiencies. If you are considering adding or cutting something, ask yourself, “Do I have more time or money?” Things to consider when thinking lean : Printed material costs Subscriptions Memberships Payroll Contracts COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) Wholesale pricing on supplies Take pre-orders Check all business transactions Prioritize spending Reduce inventory We got this Encouragers!

Building a business and raising a family is difficult and can easily lead to burnout. You need discipline, motivation and a superwoman cape to avoid it completely! Burnout has happened to me, which is why I’ve come up with so many of my systems and why I wrote my book, “Equipped to Execute.” In this episode, I’ll cover my tips and tricks for avoiding burnout. Keep your calendar small. I print off a small calendar from timeanddate.com. Each month is the size of a piece of printer paper and I keep it small on purpose so if the things I have planned don’t fit in that space, the kids and I are going to feel burned out! Time everything. I do this so I feel less overwhelmed with what I think might be a crazy night. I know it only takes 20 minutes to pick things up and then I feel relieved. Bedtime can be especially stressful so knowing about how long this takes helps you keep your cool. Have a “me” system. If you trust and use your “me” system, you’re much less likely to burnout since your priorities are being met each day. Speak this loudly to others and don’t allow guilt to creep in. You need to be charged before going to your circus. J As a part of this system, I HIGHLY recommend waking up before your kids. Doing this gives you time to center yourself before you need to start meeting their needs! Have “your thing.” Because people in my life know what I love, they bring me treats (like chai lattes or dark chocolate) or give me time to do things (like take a bath or go for a run) that help give me a break. Make these known to your tribe what these things are so they can help when you’re feeling burned out. Know your “must do” factor. Ask yourself what needs to be done TODAY so you can relax a little bit and let the rest go. That might mean doing laundry and waiting to vacuum until tomorrow, or clearing the tables but leaving the dishes in the sink. Don’t think you must do everything! Pick three things TOPS. Use your helpline. Friends and family will sense when you are feeling stressed out and if they offer to help, LET THEM! People love to help so listen for these opportunities. Have a “code word.” Develop a word or phrase that alerts your loved ones that you need help. When you use that word or phrase, they think “Bailout!” and can come to your rescue! What are your takeaways from this podcast? Take a few minutes to reflect and take some notes below! We got this Encouragers!!! Click here to get the reflection guide.

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! For more information on The Legacy Experience projects Jeremy and Brooke Brown are creating to share generational stories, please click here and contact them today!

I took the last month off from the podcast and strategically chose episodes to air during the break that speak to the concept of rest and self care. In this episode from earlier in the season, I talk about shutting down at night and how it can be one of the most difficult things to do as we handle all the roles in our lives, especially if you work from home. How do we fully turn off our brain so we can close our eyes and get some rest at night? Sometimes it happens out of exhaustion or because we want to check out and not face our “to do” list. In this podcast I talk about what I do to fully (and properly) shut down at night.

I’m back! Thank you for your patience as I sewed like crazy to get my Christmas purses finished! During my time sewing, I had plenty of time to brainstorm about new episodes to share into 2016. This week, it was incredibly obvious that perspective had to be my main subject. From now on, I will try to include elements of perspective in my show to help guide you through times that seem too difficult to manage. Business flops, misbehaving children, church and community commitments, hosting family, etc. can all be overwhelming—especially when they overlap. Not to fear, a perspective of positivity and gratefulness can get you through anything! Tune in this week to hear how I am looking at life with a new perspective and how I can guide you to do the same! *This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs™.

Your family will love you regardless of how decorated the house is, or how juicy the turkey may be—so let go of some of that worry! During the episode, I share with you a few short things that after reflection on 2015 I have been extraordinarily thankful for. I challenge you this week to be in reflection of your year and many blessings! *This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs™* Find at shoprsd.com .

My babes are the reason I do what I do. Being a work at home mom, I am blessed with watching them grow and learn in the comforts of our home. However, in order to enjoy our shared time together and have a productive work day, my children and I have to follow a schedule while I have to remember to give them grace and patience. This week on the Encourager I share my seven best tips that have made business with the kiddos right next to me successful over the last seven years. Each of my children have different personalities and have gone through different phases; but these seven tips best encapsulate the methods for how I have handled day to day life thus far. I hope you can apply one or two of these to your parenting techniques while working from home! *This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs.

So far on the Encourager, we have talked all about children and business. This week I felt it necessary to have a chat about those wonderful spouses of ours!

My episode this week shares some tips I have learned through my entrepreneurial venture alongside my husband. We didn’t do everything right in the beginning; but after twelve years I believe we have developed a helpful system that is worthwhile to share with you! *This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs ™.

However, I am going to look at the positive side today in hopes of giving YOU some of the best tips I have gathered in my 12 years of work.

As moms, we tend to put our husbands and children first. We work and work so hard that we don’t realize what we are missing, we don’t notice why we are so off…Then, the lightbulb flashes and the thought occurs that our needs have been put on the back burner. However, most of us don’t take that light bulb moment and ACT on it. Instead we think to ourselves, “I just don’t have time for hobbies right now.” This couldn’t be farther from the truth! Stacy Curtis reminds us this week that our passions are what energize and lift us from the path of burnout. Using her passion of writing as a source of income and creative outlet, Stacy shares in this episode how she remains organized while still making time for her corporate job and family. *This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs™.

This week on “The Encourager” I focus in on expounding my priorities. Being a servant of God, a wife to Nicholas, a mother of four, and owner and designer of Rebekah Scott Designs are the key components of me that guide my life. Everyone has their own priorities; but sometimes they can be hard to identify. One helpful tip (that I explain during the podcast) for pinpointing your priorities are listing off your deal breakers. We have to be able to narrow down deal breakers so that we can clearly see our priorities. I hope today’s episode can help kick-start your priority list or fine tune the preexisting one! *This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs.
