Episode 232 - Are You the One Everyone Depends On?

Faithful women often become the ones everyone depends on. Over time, carrying responsibility becomes so familiar that it no longer feels heavy; it simply feels normal. In this episode, I share a simple story that reveals a much deeper question:What are you carrying that Jesus never asked you to carry? You'll discover: • Why dependable people naturally become the ones others lean on • The hidden beliefs underneath the burdens we carry • Jesus' invitation to the weary and burdened • How to recognize hidden depletion before it becomes burnout • Why you cannot receive with hands that are already full Sometimes faith doesn't look like carrying more. Sometimes faith looks like putting something down. If you've been carrying more than you were ever asked to, Come Away is an invitation to put it down. A two-day encounter with rest, identity, healing, and the fullness of the life Jesus paid for. October 9–10, 2026.

Episode 231-Stop Settling: How to Reclaim Your Voice at Any Age with Tina Kadish

In this episode, I welcome back her friend Tina Kadish, founder of From Job to Joy, for a heart-to-heart on what it takes to choose yourself. After more than two decades in corporate training, Tina has spent recent years helping women find career clarity, but her own life recently handed her the biggest transition yet. After 27 years in a relationship, Tina made the decision to leave and found herself an empty nester, single, and living alone for the first time in her life, in her 60s. She shares candidly about the fear that kept her staying long after she knew it was time to go, and what it finally took to trust her own voice. We talk about what it means to stop waiting for someone else to know how we feel, and to start speaking our truth instead. Tina reflects on the resilience and courage she's discovered in herself through the process, and how her faith, especially the reminder that she "can do all things through Christ who strengthens her, has carried her through the hardest days. Tina also shares what's new in her business: a five-step Shift Method that helps women move from clarity into inner healing and aligned action, and a brand-new free community called Real Life, Real Shift, meeting monthly for women to gather in honest, unrecorded sisterhood. Tina Kadish is the founder of From Job to Joy . After 20 years in corporate training, she now helps women move through career transitions and major life shifts with clarity, confidence, and purpose. She is the author of two books, From Pain to Peace: A Mother's Journey Through Losing a Child and Freedom: 7 Steps to Thrive in Life and Business, and leads a weekly community for aspiring female entrepreneurs. Tina lives in Danbury, Connecticut.

Episode 229-Stop Burying Your Gifts: God Didn't Create You to Live Small with Apostle Desireé Andrews

What if the biggest obstacle to your calling isn't your ability, but your perspective? In this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast, I sit down with Apostle Desireé Andrews for an honest conversation about identity, calling, courage, and learning to trust the gifts God has already placed within you. From her powerful encounter with God while serving in Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield and Desert Storm to decades of ministry, Desireé shares what she's learned about stepping beyond fear and fully embracing God's purpose. Together, we discuss: • Why people often hide the gifts God has given them • The Parable of the Talents and what it reveals about our view of God • How fear and limiting beliefs keep us living beneath our calling • Walking in spiritual authority with confidence • Trusting God one step at a time • Living from Christ's victory instead of striving for it I also reference my companion teaching: Higher Level, Higher Devil? The Lie Exhausting Christian Leaders and the Truth That Sets You Free. If you'd like to go deeper into understanding your authority in Christ and living from the finished work of Jesus, be sure to watch that teaching as well.🎥 https://youtu.be/OCuxNtNIy8U Connect with Apostle Desireé Andrews: Website: https://www.iKingdomMinistries.org https://www.instagram.com/ikingdomvisionary Learn more about Donna Tashjian and Vibrant Living International: https://www.ivibrantliving.com.

Episode 228 - The 7 Lies That Quietly Drain Your Life... Because They Feel Like Wisdom | Part 1

Some of the most dangerous lies don't sound like lies. They sound like wisdom. They sound spiritual. They sound like discernment, responsibility, or even maturity. That's exactly what makes them so costly. In Part 1, we uncover the first three lies that quietly keep many women braced, guarded, and fighting battles they were never meant to fight. In this episode, we'll explore: #1 What Is Keeping the Peace Costing You? Could what you've been calling peace actually be self-protection? #2 Are You Expecting the Battle Before the Day Even Begins? What if preparing for difficulty has quietly become your default posture? #3 Are You Fighting for Something Jesus Already Gave You? What changes when you stop fighting for victory and start living from it? 🧡 Join our FREE Vibrant Living Skool Community 🍂 Come Away | October 9–10, 2026 An Invitation Into Rest, Intimacy, and the Fullness of the Life Jesus Paid For.

Episode 227-You Were Never Meant to Stay Hidden | Finding Your Voice, Confidence & Calling with Becky Hancock

Sometimes the greatest obstacle isn't a lack of ability. It's the quiet belief that says, "Maybe I should stay in the background."In this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast, I welcome online presence strategist Becky Hancock for a conversation that moves beyond branding and into something much deeper. Together we explore why so many women hesitate to use their voice, how fear of visibility affects both our lives and our businesses, and why stepping into greater visibility isn't about self-promotion. It's about faithfully stewarding the vision and influence God has entrusted to us. Drawing from nearly thirty years of experience in branding, graphic design, and web development, Becky shares practical wisdom about building an authentic online presence that reflects who you truly are. Whether you're building a business, leading quietly behind the scenes, or sensing God inviting you into a new season, this conversation is a reminder that your voice matters. In this episode, we discuss: • Why women often struggle to be seen and heard • The personal and professional cost of staying hidden • Building confidence without striving or self-promotion • Creating an authentic brand that reflects your values • Why understanding the people you serve matters more than simply having a beautiful website • Building a business that creates space for both purpose and joy Connect with Becky Hancock Website: https://beckyhancock.designfin LinkedIn: Rebecca Hancock Book a Conversation: https://bookwithbecky.me Connect with Donna at https://www.ivibrantliving.com/

Episode 226-Manifestation vs Partnership (Part 2): How to Discern the Counterfeit

One of the easiest mistakes sincere believers can make is assuming that if something feels helpful, peaceful, or empowering, it must automatically be from God. Discernment goes deeper than that. In this episode, I continue the conversation about manifestation and Holy Spirit partnership by exploring spiritual counterfeits, spiritual mixture, and the fruit different spiritual practices produce over time. Most importantly, she reminds us that God's greatest gift is not an outcome, an answer, or a breakthrough. The relationship is the treasure.

Episode 225-The Small Things That Quietly Damage Relationships

What if the biggest problems in marriage are not actually the problems you can see? In this heartfelt and practical conversation, I sit down with Christian marriage coach Casper Stockham to talk about communication, selfishness, hidden emotional wounds, and the small daily habits that shape healthy relationships. Casper and his wife Cheryl have spent nearly two decades helping couples move from conflict and disconnection into deeper understanding, partnership, and joy. Together, we unpack why couples often wait until the “11th hour” to seek help, how unresolved frustrations quietly build over time, and why learning to communicate differently can transform a marriage. This conversation is honest, relatable, and full of practical wisdom for couples who want more than survival; they want connection, peace, and partnership. In this episode: ✨ The hidden issues underneath relationship conflict ✨ Why selfishness quietly damages marriages ✨ How communication changes everything ✨ The power of addressing problems together instead of attacking each other ✨ Real stories from Donna and Casper about everyday marriage struggles ✨ Love languages, emotional needs, and creating lasting connection ✨ Why marriage should still include joy and fun Connect with Casper & Cheryl Stockham: 🌐 IAmLoveBuilders.net Connect with Donna Tashjian: 🌐 https://www.ivibrantliving.com

Episode 224-Manifestation vs Partnership (Part 1): The Difference Every Christian Should Know

Have you noticed how much spiritual language sounds the same these days? Manifesting. Alignment. Energy. The universe. Partnership. Sometimes the words sound familiar enough that we stop asking where they come from. And that matters. Because two things can sound similar on the surface while leading in completely different directions underneath. In this episode of the Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence series, I unpack the difference between manifestation and Holy Spirit partnership. Not to create fear, but to increase discernment. Not everything spiritual is sourced from the same kingdom. We will talk about: • The difference between manifestation and Kingdom partnership • Why source matters more than methods • The role of authority in the Kingdom of God • Why God is a Father, not a force • How spiritual language can hide counterfeit beliefs • The question every believer should ask: Which kingdom is this coming from? The goal is not suspicion. The goal is relationship. Because the more clearly we know the King, the easier it becomes to recognize what does and does not belong to His Kingdom.
