Hi friends!
In today's episode, I'm sharing a huge realization I had about why it's so hard to trust God at times and what peace in life actually looks like.
Last week I went white water rafting for the first time--It was on my husband Gary's 'bucket list' but definitely not mine.
However, now I'm ready to be a tour guide on the rapids. Haha. Totally kidding! That will never happen! But I am so grateful and learned so much from the experience. While on the River, I learned I've been reading a few verses wrong this whole time, and I share about that in today's episode as well.
Glad you're here. If you need prayer, please email hello@danisumner.com
Much love,
Dani

Hi friends!
Oh man, are we in for some golden nugget wisdom today from my Therapist Jim Beebe.
Listen in on a short clip from my Therapy session with Jim--I was struggling with being pulled in a zillion directions and feeling guilty that I couldn't do more in some areas and for some people in my life--like my aging parents, etc.
Jim's perspective completely shifted my mindset, the tremendous pressure I felt from 'failing' and 'letting people down,' and the guilt that I thought came with it all.
You have to hear his 2 minutes of straight wisdom. You're welcome. ;)

So glad you're here!
Love you all,
Dani

Hi friend!
I know if we're struggling, we can feel like we are an island at times doing this life all on our own. It can be exhausting!
In today's episode, I talk about a conversation with a dear friend a few weeks ago about the different types of people we all need in our lives and how to find them for ourselves.
This perspective has helped me so much the last few weeks--and I hope it encourages and helps you too!

Hi friends!
This is a short encouraging episode. I hope it brings you some peace, especially if you struggle with feeling all the 'big feelings' at times!--You are not alone!
I'm learning that sometimes my feelings are guides and indicators of what's going on deep inside me. And sometimes, I feel all "the feelings" because maybe I ate something that didn't agree with my body or I didn't get enough sleep.
We're complex beings, but we were created this way--so I'm learning to honor even the things that drive me nutty about myself. ;) I hope you are too. :)
Here's a poem a friend just shared with me, two verses, and a song that's encouraging me this week.
Poem: "The Guest House" by Rumi
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
Because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
Verses: Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”
Song: “Head To The Heart” by United Pursuit: YouTube // Spotify // iTunes

I'm' so glad you are here today! Therapist Jim Beebe is with us, and it's always a gift to hear and learn from Jim and his amazing experience and wisdom from working with people and Christian leaders for over 40 years.
Jim interviewed me for this episode, and I loved our conversation--he has such a way of pulling out great nuggets of wisdom that are so encouraging. If you're struggling or hard on yourself for your struggles, I hope this episode blesses you!
Jim is one of our show's go-to experts and guides! Jim has been a therapist for over 40 years and has worked with a gazillion people! Ok, maybe not a gazillion but you know what I mean.
He knows his stuff—He was initially going to seminary to become a Pastor, but life hit and happened, and by the Grace of God, the Lord led him into becoming a Therapist—and I couldn't be more grateful! He and his wife also teach a marriage seminar that is a powerful experience right outside of Los Angeles, California. If you want more info or to get in touch with Jim— 818-787-1242

Hi friends!
I don't know why more people don't talk about or prepare us for friendship breakups. And Holy moly, the pain it can cause us!
Friendship issues can be so hard on us, especially when they end.
In today's episode, I share my story about a friendship breakup, and I hope it encourages you!
Much love,
Dani
