| The Rooms You Choose: Opportunities Taken, Missed and Waiting | 21 Jan 2026 | 00:17:06 | |
In this episode of Voice Unbound, Laura reflects on the opportunities that shape our lives. The ones we say yes to, the ones we miss, and the ones we don’t even realize were there at the time. She shares personal insight on why being in the right rooms matters, including stepping into an opportunity this week in San Diego, and how growth often comes simply from showing up with an open heart. This conversation is an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask yourself what doors God may be opening right now and what courage it takes to walk through them. Perfect for anyone navigating change, growth, or the quiet nudge to step into something new. What room is God inviting you to step into right now, and what might be holding you back from saying yes?

| The Joy Packed Journey with Erin Selin | 01 May 2023 | 00:32:07 | |
You never know how you will connect with someone. We were traveling down the highway and I saw this RV go by and on the back it had The Joy Packed Journey. I was like I need to see what this is all about. The word joy and journey connected with me immediately. Once I found the site on Instagram, I reached out to Erin and asked her if she would share their story! They are full time in a RV, traveling the US with three beautiful children. She is a wife to Jonathan, a mom to three, a homeschool mom, and a fur baby mom to two dogs. They are using this time in their lives to find joy and new experience as they travel around the good old USA. What started out in selling everything to buy a catamaran turned into buying an RV instead....she shares it all here. I invite you to follow Erin and her precious family as they journey around the states. Connect with Erin Instagram - thejoypackedjourney Facebook - The Joy Packed Journey Connect with me!

| Timing - my daily chat almost daily LIVE on youtube | 29 Mar 2023 | 00:03:58 | |
This devotional spoke to me so much today! Waiting on His timing can be hard. And seems that sometimes it takes longer than we want it too I know like an example for me is waiting on knowing when something I am wanting to happen I want it sooner rather than later. Trusting God for the when is where we have to keep our Faith in Him! He has us go through the highs and lows. He always has our side. By trusting God you will see that what He has in store for us is so much more than we can imagine, God is always working in our lives. Reading today was from You Got This, written by Melissa Horvath and she has a new on Go For It all available on Amazon! 90 devotionals that will empower you! | |||

| Breaking that generational cycle | 27 Mar 2023 | 00:42:39 | |
Jessica is the sweetest human being! She has a heart for those who need to be heard and feel seen. She knows this feeling and can share with you how she has worked through breaking the chains of generations of strong holds that held her captive. She knew God was with her ALL the time not just when she was doing good but even in the hardest days of her life HE was there. Her word this year is uncomfortable. Are you living comfortably or you putting yourself out there - imperfectly. We discussed how easy it is to just stay comfortable, it becomes an unsafe place, staying the same, and not allowing God to lead you into the areas you know you want to grow. So go! Do it uncomfortable! Life is uncomfortable! What does generational cycle mean - A generational cycle is a habit or behavior that has been passed from one generation to the next. Parents strive to make sure that the life they lead will help their children live a better one. Children practice what they have learned on their own and what they have gathered from generations before them. Some examples of generational cycles are: addictions, mental illnesses, physical illnesses, even poverty to name a few. What are ways to break generational cycles: 1. Become self-aware of these destructive patterns 2. Educating yourself about family history 3. Taking accountability to own your part 4. Don't be afraid to reach out for help 5. Ensure that it stops with you 6. Accepting the generational cycles are our responsibility to break. Look at where you are and make plans for where you would like to be. Knowing what you know now, make necessary sacrifices and be as transparent as you can with your children to help them understand what you're doing and why you're doing it. If you want to know more reach out! We want to help you break the generational cycles that are holding your captive.

| The Battle in waiting | 08 Mar 2023 | 00:02:40 | |
How many times do we rush and pray for something to happen quick? Or find ourselves mad because it isn't happening right now. Maybe a job promotion, or growing your business and maybe that soul mate you are longing to fine I know for me in the struggles and feeling stuck I ask for reasons and why is this going on? But what if God is try to teach us about patience, a closer walk with Him, and preparing for what He has ahead for us. Trusting God's timing is perfect. He has big plans for each of us and knows when it is best for us to reach whatever it is we are praying for. Proverbes 3: 5-6 says Trust the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all you ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Began teaching at these small catholic churches. Where most classes were combined of two class grades at a time. She taught for 7 years and she was in a different school grade each year.

| Once I get...... | 28 Jan 2023 | 00:00:57 | |
Do you ever say "once I get (File in the blank), then I will be happy? I bet you have thought that and I know most of us have. But what happens, we get what we wanted and then what, are you really happy? If you are feeling that way now, ask yourself this question; what am I waiting for? Don't let you happiness be dependent on things or others. What if we concentrated on the good that surrounds us. Look at what God has provided for you over the last few days. Be present in the moment. Allowing yourself to find joy right where you are. Daily Devotional - You Got This, written by Melissa Horvath

| Be the light! | 23 Jan 2023 | 00:28:17 | |
Sometimes we have to go through the dark to find the light. And it can be hard and ugly. Jessica found God in a very difficult time in her life. She knew He was there in her midst but it took some time for her to commit her life to Him and turn away from her sins. My granddaughter sent me this scripture this morning and I think it fits in well with this. 1 John 1 6-7 "If we claim that we experience a shared life with Him and continuer to stumble around in the dark, we're obviously lying through our teeth- we're not living what we claim. But if we walk in the light, we also experience a shared life with one another, as the sacrificed blood of Jesus, God's Son, purges all our sins" Breaking the chains of addiction and alcohol! If you have an addiction. Struggling to put it down or remove yourself from the influences around you. Reach out to me or to someone who can help you break the chains. I would love to send you a bible devotional. Pray with you. It is when we put ourselves in God's space and open our hearts to His words we become new.

| From Silent Grief to Spoken Grace | 23 Jul 2025 | 00:09:19 | |
Maybe you have notice I haven't had a podcast drop in the last couple of weeks. I have been taking it slow, allowing myself to grieve and to show myself some Grace. I did't know that in 2025 I would become a widow. I would be learning who I am without Tim by my side. It has allowed me to show up in ways I didn't see possible. I am able to guide other women through grief a loss that has impacted their life. You love, prayers and support are what sustain me. I just got back from a trip to Hawaii one trip I didn't even have on my radar for 2025. But three days before I took a chance to see if any spots would available and there were! I grabbed a dear friend and off we went to Kauai. Going back there was so special It was a place Tim and I been blessed to work several years ago. I was surrounded by God's beauty and 40 incredible women. I allowed myself to grieve but also laugh and remember the amazing time Tim and I had there. God has a way of putting you right where you need to be during my hardest time of loss. I want you to know you are not alone If you would like a copy of my "Break the Cycle" 5 days to Awareness and Healing. Click here and put the word GRACE in the body of the email and I will get it to you!

| Is Loss Silencing Your Voice? | 11 Jun 2025 | 00:04:34 | |

You’ll hear: ✨ How loss impacts our voice and confidence ✨ Why many women stay stuck in “silent grief” ✨ God’s heart for you in this healing process ✨ Encouragement to begin taking small, grace-filled steps forward If today’s message speaks to your heart, I invite you to take my free quiz: 👉 Is Loss Silencing Your Voice? → Click Here And if you’re longing for personal support, I’m offering a few free 30-min 1:1 calls this month: 👉 Silent Grief to Spoken Grace Call → Click Here Friend — your voice still matters.

| Unshakeable Confidence | 23 May 2025 | 00:05:06 | |
Heal What’s Hidden to Become the Woman God Designed You to Be..... Real confidence comes through healing, not hiding your wounds or just dealing with it. Confidence Isn’t Something You Perform Psalm 147:3 reminds us, ‘He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. God isn’t asking you to cover your wounds—He’s inviting you to heal them.
