In the midst of the complexities and distractions of daily life, it is easy to become overwhelmed and lose sight of our ultimate destination. However, it is crucial to remind ourselves of the higher purpose we are striving towards, which is heaven. We take a closer look at the powerful impact of living with an eternal perspective and delve into practical ways to achieve this mindset. Hosts, Karen Doyle and Von Hosking are joined to navigate and break down this topic further.

Through prayer, we can connect with a higher power and seek guidance and clarity. It serves as a powerful tool for shifting our focus from the temporal to the eternal and nurturing a deeper relationship with God. It is equally important to guard our minds and actively manage our thoughts.

We explore the theme of forgiveness within the framework of the Christian message in this episode. The discussion revolves around the challenges and complexities of extending forgiveness, especially in the face of deep injustice and personal wounds. Drawing inspiration from Jesus' example on the cross, where he forgave those who wronged him, Karen and Von emphasize the significance of seeking God's grace and humbling oneself before the offender. Hosts, Karen Doyle and Von Hosking are joined by guest, Bridget Sakr, to navigate and break down this topic further.

Bridget Sakr is a mother who tragically lost her 11-year-old daughter, Veronique, to a drunk and drugged driver. Despite her ongoing grief, Bridget has turned her pain into a source of inspiration and community service. Prior to the tragedy, she had a successful career in financial services and co-founded a mortgage company. However, after the loss, Bridget created an online grief support network called Heartfelt and extended its reach to Sydney Catholic schools. Additionally, she joined the Legion of Mary apostolate to volunteer and support those in need in her community.

An unwavering belief in Jesus' resurrection and profound faith can be instrumental in finding strength and purpose amidst overwhelming tragedy. Despite the immense pain the capacity to extend forgiveness to the person responsible for suffering shows the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity to find meaning and purpose even in the darkest of times. It is important to reflect on our own struggles with forgiveness and to consider the potential for healing and growth that forgiveness can bring.

Everyone has a unique purpose and mission in life. Not all individuals need to be entrepreneurs or creatives, because society also requires people with different skills and strengths. In this episode, we explore the journey of self-discovery and finding one's unique gifts, mission, and purpose. Hosts, Karen Doyle and Von Hosking are joined by guest, Joy Adan, to navigate and break down this topic further.

Joy Adan, a talented writer, calligrapher, and watercolor artist from Western Sydney, Australia, faced the pressure of living up to her sisters’ achievements. She initially pursued a media law degree but lacked the passion for it. Despite her professional success, she felt a void in her life; seeking counseling, she discovered the importance of creating something solely for herself. This led her to explore lettering and calligraphy, which gradually transformed into a business. Today, Joy hosts workshops, provides handmade gifts, and promotes community connection and positive mental well-being through her creative endeavors.

Together, they address the challenges faced by women who struggle to discover their gifts and talents. Recognizing the significance of identifying strengths and weaknesses, they emphasize the nurturing of one's creative abilities in all aspects of life, including parenting, professional endeavors, and everyday responsibilities. By engaging in self-reflection, utilizing creativity, and seeking support from others, women can unlock and embrace their gifts, ultimately leading to a gratifying and meaningful existence.
