Let’s Talk About It (Part 1)

(Part 1 of the Interview with Brookes Vaughan from The Women’s Health Company)

We’re thrilled about this new series called “Let’s Talk About It”. As women there are so many things that we struggle with silently because we’re too afraid to talk about them. We wanted to open the conversation to some of these less talked about topics. This week we get to interview the most amazing woman - Brookes Vaughan, who is a PA living in Athens, GA and has started a whole body health clinic specifically for women. Brookes is honestly SO helpful in this interview. We walked away completely inspired.

Today we dive into hormones and how they affect so much more than we realize, some hormone balancing habits that are very practical, and talk a little bit about body image.

Summer Devotionals: Hope in God’s Character

It’s hard to believe summer is over!! Thank you for tuning in over the past 3 months for these devotionals. It’s wild to me how we barely gave any direction on what each one would be about, and yet each devotional was so unique and different from the last. God has been moving in the hearts of girls in our community and I’m so proud of y’all for engaging with Him and sharing. Today is the last one of the summer, and Piper O’Quinn (AYA founding member & Bible study leader) shares about learning to have hope in God’s character through all seasons. This is the perfect one to end the summer on. We hope you can carry this with you into the Fall.

Summer Devotionals: Temporary vs. Eternity

Today’s devotional is from Emily Berryman, a senior at UGA and Bible study leader to the Juniors. Emily shares today about the eternal vs. the temporary - the horizontal compared with the vertical. All Earthly pleasures can be gifts from God, but ultimately they’re not what we were designed to live for. These things were created to POINT US to the one we’re made to live for. This is so encouraging!

Summer Devotionals: Discipline in Love

Today we have a devotional from Clemson AYA Leader Katheryn Ann Batson on discipline. She shares from Hebrews 12 all about why the Lord disciplines us, what that looks like, and why it’s actually a wonderful, loving, and protective thing. She reminds us shame is not from the Lord, that his correction is always lovingly pointing us toward holiness. This is SO good and you don’t want to miss this perspective today.
