Uniquely Beautiful Stories

Friends, you’re listening to episode 37 and today I have 3 beautiful guests - yes, 3! It’s a party in here! This is our 2nd Enneagram episode I’m calling the Ennea-girls RETURN + 1 (Joanna)! Our 1st Enneagram episode was #18 and featured Hill (also on #12) + Claire (also on #16). Today we are adding one more “expert” to the lineup, who has also been on the show before, Joanna Willcox (on #30). So go back and listen to all those but today... we’ve got some great info for you all things Enneagram. Our listeners submitted questions and we are diving in! In this episode we talk about Ian Cron and Suaznne Stabile, who we consider to be true experts. Any of their books or podcasts are high on our list of recommendations! We hope this podcast is an encouragement to you and shed some light on the intricacies of the Enneagram, as we went a little nerdy! Share this podcast with a friend, explore the Enneagram... and go live your own story! xo

In the first episode you'll hear the story behind this brand new podcast. Take a listen and then stick around to hear some of my favorite stories. But most importantly, go out and live your own story! Find me on Instagram @ hmcanear!

Before I introduce you to today's session, I have a couple of notes for you listeners!
1) This interview was originally a video recorded for the women’s ministry at our church, Council Road, but the response was so positive I knew our podcast listeners would be encouraged! So the audience “watching” is obviously YOU our podcast listeners.
2) Hayley and I mention a couple of resources:
- Her favorite fitness app: MyFitnessPal
- Her husband, Cody Bobay's ministry for men: https://soulcon.com
- The upcoming Easter Run we would LOVE for you to join us:
www.house-of-healing.org.
Hayley Bobay is wife to Cody and mom to Ty and Parker and makes OKC her home. She has been involved in the fitness world for many years and in several different ways, and has a passion to encourage women toward a healthy lifestyle - not for aesthetic reasons, but to serve God fully out of a healthy mind, heart and body.
In our interview we chat about everything from the benefit of community to nutrition to our own personal struggles with fitness to actual fitness plans for all levels of activity. So grab a cup of coffee and listen to this interview while folding laundry, nursing a baby, walking on the treadmill or commuting to work.
As we suggest at the end of the interview, we would love to hear from you or connect with you, this invitation is not only for the women in our physical community at church, but we want our listener community to feel free to reach out. So please comment or message us if you desire to connect with Hayley or other like-minded women who desire to respond in a balanced way to health & fitness. I think you will be encouraged to seek to be the strongest version of yourself, living out your one uniquely beautiful story well.

Friends, it's time for the final episode in our marriage mini-series. This time Garrick and I chat about what seems to be the least talked about and understood of the vows we made to each other: to cherish. What does that mean? What does it look like to cherish each other? How can we practically make sure our spouse feels cherished? Listen in! We hope you are encouraged to pour time and energy into your marriage... because your marriage matters! Go out and live your own uniquely beautiful love story!

Hi friends! It's me, your very part-time podcaster. ;) I finally sat down to edit this encouraging conversation I had back in MARCH, with my friend, Katie Mahoney. (How does time fly by so quickly?!?) You might laugh at the fact that it is now fall, but back then she mentions "March Madness basketball", but no matter how many months have passed, this conversation is beautiful and relevant. Katie shares the turn of events that led to her pre-term delivery of their first precious son, Keon (one of my favorite little guys!), and the lessons they have learned along the way, as they raise and love a son with Cerebral Palsy. The way Katie fights for Keon and works as a team with her husband, Ryan, to raise both of their boys, is a huge encouragement to me. I know you will love hearing this chat, no matter where you are in your life's journey. Katie mentions a couple of books that have given her direction: We Carry Kevin and A Different Dream For Your Child Share this podcast with a friend.... and go out and live your own uniquely beautiful story. xo
