Be Love

Today I am talking with my dear friend Becky Conzelman, Pro-cyclist and Crossfit Games athlete, mama to two of my favorite kiddos, and Co-Founder and Executive Director of FAITH RXD Since the airing of this episode It is with very heavy hearts we share that our beloved Becky passed away on April 6th. This interview was Beckys last. We interviewed Becky a month ago, but when this was ready to go on air, Becky suffered a brain aneurysm and brain bleed. Thankfully she was rushed to the hospital and her life was then spared.  I wanted you to hear this podcast of her story, because I wanted you to know who Becky is, her heart, her passion for others. Everyone should know Becky and her story of hope through crushed dreams of not making the Olympics, to finding her identity in something other than competing. Her faith has never faltered. I think you will love the incredible story of my dear friend Becky. If you would like to encourage or show appreciation to the Conzelman family I encourage you to donate to FAITH RX

Today I talk with Megan Tamte who is the founder and Co-CEO of Evereve, a fashion brand she created because of a disastrous trip to the mall soon after having her baby. So she created a place for mothers to feel beautiful and special. Evereve’s tag line is “with heart,” we talk about how loving others is the most important part of their business. They hire people who love fashion but who love people more! We take leadership lessons and the “tiny behaviors” they teach their employees, and how we can train this behavior in our own life and pass it on to our children. These are ways we can see people the way they need to be seen. Simple behaviors like remembering a name or looking someone in the eyes and being genuinely concerned for others. She talks about teaching her kids about empathy, how they can think beyond themselves and see others as masterpieces. She has some amazing nuggets for parents about showing her kids that they are loved no matter what they do, or what they achieve. Instead of celebrating the

Today I talk with Noonday Founder and CEO Jessica Honegger. She is so fun and funny to talk with. We talk about how she is courageously accepting herself and in turn that helps her celebrate others well. Celebrating our own flaws and loving our whole selves helps us have freedom to love others well.    We laugh a lot, but there are so many nuggets of truth about loving ourselves with authenticity so we love others well.   We talk about rest and hustle, and she tells a great story of loving others intentionally when we may feel insecure ourselves. We talk about staying in the uncomfortable and being vulnerable.   She gives us some practical steps to accept ourselves and others.   Jessica has written a book all about this called Imperfect Courage which is one of my favorite books of the year.   Click here or full links and show notes 

Today I am talking with Dave Hollis, CEO of Hollis Co. He is just as down to earth as you may think he is. We had such fun talking about what it was like this year as his wife Rachel’s book Girl, Wash Your Face, was a topseller and what that felt like.   We talk about what it looks like to have patient trust, their journey of adoption and fostering, and how that experience set them up for what they are doing now. We share our hearts for helping our kids get out of their comfort zone so they can be exposed to other people’s stories, and show love and empathy for those who have had different experiences.   We also discuss something he has never talked about which is the Hollis Co. Foundation and how they are giving back with their success.   3 ways they are showing up for different communities: Veterans Women Children in Care (foster care)   You won’t want to miss this one. We look to the future and see what is coming down the pipe for Hollis Co. and Rachel Hollis this year. Full show notes here with links t

Ever notice how a simple thing can change your life? Well, a lunch box note changed ours. A few years ago, my husband wrote a note to our son that said: BE STRONG, PROTECT THE WEAK, LOVE EVERYONE. This message has become our family mission to spread to the world. At BE LOVE podcast, we want to show you tangible ways for you to love others. Each week we will share stories of people who are giving back and loving their communities. From CEOs to non-profit leaders to everyday people, we believe any act of love can change the life of another. Join us as we are inspired each week to take action and love out loud.
