Join our transformative 12-week cohort-based group coaching program + signature course, with the loving accountability + support from us as your coaches + a consistent cohort of like-minded women committed to spurring each other on in learning to work (and THRIVE) GOD'S WAY. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you do NOT want to miss! ⌛ ENROLLMENT CLOSES THIS WEDNESDAY! → withthetrans.com/rhythms --------- Grace grew up thinking it normal to work late nights (all the time), pack her schedule, push her body to its limits. This kind of lifestyle had been glorified in the fast-paced, Ivy-League-striving Bay Area where she'd grown up. And still... it was never enough. But she kept pushing through anyway, to "maximize" her life and impact. But what she DIDN'T realize were all the HIDDEN costs she was incurring over the years... Fast forward to today... We're both full-time entrepreneurs amidst a very different yet also very similar world of hustle culture, high stakes and even MORE pressure, opportunities to endlessly work and burn ourselves to the ground... But thank God... we've learned a BETTER WAY to work - and LIVE. If you've ever wondered: "Is it NORMAL to wear busyness & perfectionism like a badge?" "How do I get OUT of these cycles of chronic burnout, which my social events, hangouts, trips, PTO, Netflix, etc. just can't seem to fix?!" "Why does Jesus tell us we can take his yoke AND live 'freely and lightly'? Is it too good to be true??" We pray that this testimony episode encourages you. ❤️ --------------- 💌 Get each week's episode & helpful resources sent directly to you for FREE, along with EXCLUSIVE sneak peeks & perks: https://bit.ly/3M7OMXY 🆕 JOIN OUR FREE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/overflowcollective 💬 Get personalized help overcoming your life's challenges & internal barriers through our 1-on-1 Spirit-led & science-based coaching.

Reigha shares her own personal journey of unexpected encounters with God (and how they've RADICALLY transformed her life from the inside out in ways she NEVER expected!), correcting her view of God (and how that changed the way she sees and serves others), honest ministry leader confessions, discerning between "your desires" vs. "God's desires," and SO much more.

After nearly a decade in corporate tech, Alex very recently transitioned out to pursue something completely new... something that we've both felt God has been "setting up" for a while now! Just 3 days after leaving his job, Alex shares the very real and raw challenges, obstacles, and fears he experienced in taking this big step of faith - but also what God showed and convicted him of in the process. We also talk about the real temptation to "quiet quit" - and what ended up happening when Alex sensed God calling him to finish well and be bolder in ministering to his co-workers and managers. We pray that these reflections would encourage you and inspire you with practical ideas for ways to be salt and light in your own workplace, spheres of influence, and transitional seasons, too! -------------- 👉📘 Tired of trying to keep up with your endless to-do list, ending every day drained with barely any time & energy leftover to give yourself & your loved ones?

Workplaces tell us to "bring your FULL self to work..." Apps invite us to BeReal... BUT... What does it even mean to be our AUTHENTIC selves?How do we know if we are (or aren't)?What does NOT doing it really cost us?And how do we PRACTICALLY navigate "self-discovery" God's way... and to live freely and fully as our TRUE selves?It is so common for us not to even be AWARE that we're wearing masks, because we've normalized or have gotten so used to it living out of a "false self." Today we're unpacking all of this and more through our own journeys of navigating this very real tension - and candidly sharing what has helped us (and continues to help us) discover, embrace, and live as the people God authentically and uniquely made each of us to be.

👉 GET THIS FREE LIST OF 60 EASY, LOW-COST DATES: https://withthetrans.com/dates NOTE: The best experience is to watch this episode on YouTube (to follow along with the visual slides), though it's fine to listen as well :) There's a big difference between just being "in" a relationship vs. actually having a *consistent* heart connection with one another. And the truth is, there really is no shortcut... true connection, authentic intimacy, and stronger bonds don't just "happen." In fact, when we're passive about our relationships, the opposite happens: they grow stale and often breed boredom or even resentment. Instead, having a thriving relationship takes our active participation and intentionality... but it is SO worth it! Today, we're covering some practical tips for cultivating and strengthening a deeper, richer emotional/relational connection with a spouse or significant other (though the principles can also be adapted for family / friends). This was from a mini training we led for the Thriving Couples Virtual Summit hosted by The Shine Campus. Our audience was a mix of people from all kinds of backgrounds, but one thing we of course want to mention for you guys here is also the importance of putting God at the center: engaging in spiritual practices and rhythms individually and together, as well. (Let us know if you'd like more on that another time...) Join us as we talk about: We're not experts nor perfect by any means, but we hope that these things that have helped us in our own journey ever since our long-distance dating days, to now in marriage, help you in your own relationships, communication, and endeavors to love others well! --------------- 💌 Get each week's episode & helpful resources sent directly to you for FREE, along with EXCLUSIVE sneak peeks & perks: https://bit.ly/3M7OMXY 🆕 JOIN OUR FREE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/overflowcollective 💬 Get personalized help overcoming your life's challenges & internal barriers through our 1-on-1 Spirit-led & science-based coaching.

Do you ever wake up from a dream and think: "That was weird..." but aren't sure what to make of it (OR if you even should)? Today, Grace sits down with her good friend Elani to dive into the series of unexpected events (including supernatural dreams) that brought her out of depression, suicidal thoughts, and the occult - and into healing, joy, and freedom way beyond what she ever thought possible. Join us as Elani shares about coming out of New Age curiosities and a snippet of her journey of finding the real God through dreams, encounters with both heaven and hell, and testing out different world religions to ultimately discover and be forever changed by the one true God. We also delve into how to tell between a "bad pizza" dream and a "God dream," AND go through a spontaneous LIVE interpretation of dreams that Alex and Grace had literally the night before this recording! We pray this candid conversation encourages, challenges, and perhaps stretches your perspective - and ultimately empowers you to seek and know God more. --------- 👉📘 Want a clear, step-by-step process to identify what God wants you to prioritize for the week?

Today we have a very special guest—someone we’ve admired from afar for 16+ years—throwback to our days of eagerly rushing home after school to watch every new episode of America’s Best Dance Crew (#IYKYK). Ben Chung has been a member of the world-famous dance crew the Jabbawockeez, (who rose to fame for winning the first season of ABDC) and later went on to co-found Kinjaz—both of which have become two of the biggest influences and leading innovators in the modern dance world. He’s a dancer, podcaster, entrepreneur, and more… but more than all that, he’s a follower of Jesus who’s unafraid to use his real and raw stories and lessons learned to inspire others. We are so grateful for him opening up and sharing his powerful story and wisdom on the podcast today. We pray it leaves you encouraged to see God’s purpose in your own story—no matter how unconventional, messy, or non-linear it may seem—and to not be held back by fear, but to boldly GO for the dreams and passions God’s leading you towards! --------- 👉📘 Want a clear, step-by-step process to identify what God wants you to prioritize for the week?

Hey friends, this episode's a bit different! We wanted to share the real, raw, behind-the-scenes, in-progress testimony (that's STILL unfolding) of a personal life update (and what led up to it), including a few of the lessons God's been teaching us in the process, in hopes that it might encourage you in your own journey, too. NOTE: We recorded this in December 2023, so when we say "this" year, we mean 2023. Also, there is a LOT more that we left out since it was already getting long (including how Alex made HIS work decision, a testimony that came out of his announcement, many prophetic words and encounters we had that added confirmation, etc.)... But one thing we especially wanted to highlight is that a MAJOR part of this decision was based on the long-term vision God has given the both of us for our future family, wanting to be better positioned and equipped to best serve those whom we believe we're called to serve, and overall continuing to follow God's lead in laying the groundwork in faith (let us know if you wanna hear more about that stuff in the future)! Wherever God may lead each of us in our unique journeys, may we all keep focusing our eyes on Jesus and learning to sense His nearness, see His faithfulness, and earnestly seek His heart and all the beautiful ways He's inviting us to boldly partner with how He's already at work in and around us... with all He's entrusted to us and will continue to provide for us. We are so grateful for your support and prayers, and excited to share more in the coming weeks and months!!

Bob Lotich found himself at his breaking point in his early 20’s overwhelmed by debt and stranded 1,000 miles from home with only $7 to his name.

Today, we're excited to share this "rich" conversation on the intersection of faith and finances - and seeing the "impossible" become reality - with Bob and Linda Lotich: the power duo behind SeedTime Money.
