385 Debbie Baisden: Relying on God When Widowed

Debbie Baisden, mom of four boys, was widowed without warning. The depth of pain was only matched by the depth of God’s faithfulness. A former teacher, this remarried widow is a mompreneur passionate about helping women thrive. 

In 2013 she co-created Momsanity, an online community seeking balance in Motherhood, Faith, Fitness and Nutrition. In 2014 she established Fit With Deb, an online health resource for Nutrition and Exercise. Described as profoundly opinionated, invitingly authentic, and downright sarcastic, her passion is uplifting others in a way that reflects Jesus. She promotes balanced living amidst chaos for busy women who love Christ.

Wondering what “free time” is, Debbie lives in North Carolina with her new husband Jason and sons (Paul, Brad, Andrew, and Joshua).

3 Top Tips 
1. Take an accurate assessment of fault lines to address in life (marital woes, financial struggles, passive faith, etc) today, not tomorrow.
2. Love selflessly - show love with actions, even when it's inconvenient and sacrificial.
3. If life is mostly lukewarm indifference due to mundane monotony, it may take pain and trials to reawaken reliance upon God.

379 Tina Davidson: How To Use Creativity & Music To Change Your Life

Tina Davidson, a highly regarded American composer, creates music that stands out for its emotional depth and lyrical dignity. Lauded for her authentic voice, The New York Times has praised her “vivid ear for harmony and colors.” Opera News describes Tina Davidson’s music as, “transfigured beauty,” and the Philadelphia Inquirer writes that she writes “real music, with structure, mood, novelty and harmonic sophistication – with haunting melodies that grow out of complex, repetitive rhythms.” Tina Davidson’s music can be heard on Albany Records, CRI, Mikrokosmik, Callisto, and Opus One recording labels – most recently recorded by Hilary Hahn on Deutsche Grammophon.
Her memoir, Let Your Heart Be Broken, Life and Music from a Classical Composer, is now available from Boyle & Dalton. Her memoir traces her extraordinary life in equally lyrical language, juxtaposing memories, journal entries, notes on compositions in progress, and insights into the life of an artist – and a mother – at work.

3 Top Tips
1. Let your heart be broken - all yourself to set into you grief, trauma
Heartbreakingly, your heart breaks, & in the two halves, rocking on the table, is revealed rich earth. Moist, dark soil, ready for new life to begin.
2. Family/friends may resist you getting happy, sober - find new friends, support
3. It takes many things to heal - do therapy, AA, but also healthy eating, sleeping, friends, yoga, dancing, long baths and walks.

377 Amanda Blackwood: Overcoming Human Trafficking

When Amanda finally managed to get away from the man who was trafficking her she was thirty-one years old and didn’t know what she’d gone through even had a name, much less how to deal with the pain of feeling like a broken person, unworthy of love and filled with so much anger. On a freezing cold day in 2018 she saw former trafficked people standing strong and showing their beautiful resiliency on a stage at an anti-trafficking event. At that moment she finally knew what her purpose in life would be.
Since then, Amanda has spoken on a multitude of stages, been interviewed by the Chicago Tribune, sold her art all over the country, been a keynote speaker at international summits, loaned her voice to multiple radio programs, and published over a dozen books. She launched two podcasts - one that focuses on interviewing other authors of trauma, and the other that discusses the long term consequences of trauma and how to fight back for a better life. She's a trauma recovery mentor, professional artist, accomplished public speaker, and a charity campaigns manager for MMA legend Frank Shamrock through ShamrockWay.org

Amanda Blackwood is a prolific writer. Each of the books listed below have been published since 2018 with more on the way. The description of each book is listed under each cover image. All books are available in paperback and ebook versions. A limited few are currently available as audiobooks but that selection will continue to grow in the coming months.

3. You are worth more than you may believe, you do matter and yes, there is hope for you
