Circle of Trust - The Podcast

We are talking about Mother’s Day but don't let it scare you! Mother's Day is truly kinda complicated. In its simplest form it’s a day to celebrate the moms in our lives. But it’s not really that simple, is it? Because even though all of us have moms, from there it gets very diverse and complicated. But for the birth moms, the adoptive moms, the moms who have lost a child, or the women who are struggling with infertility, or maybe never had the opportunity to be a mom, or those who are grieving the loss of a mom, or those who are alienated in their relationships … this is a tough day. So the girls sat down to talk about the complexities of this day with our usual humor and a few interruptions from a kid (what would a Mother's Day podcast be without that?).

After an almost-year-long hiatus, we've decided this has become more of a crisis-based podcast. So, hey, here we are checking in during the coronavirus quarantine, talking about when exactly we knew it was serious, the things we've learned about ourselves during quarantine, how we're keeping busy during this time, and the lows we've stooped to as we all try to survive. Spoiler alert - we're not okay. Well... we are mostly ok, we're just really mean and miss eating at restaurants.

When Hurricane Dorian cancels your annual family vacation and ruins your massive film shoot, you get to gripe about it. We're spending a few minutes today circling around the mountain by venting about Hurricane Dorian and all the other things that are irritating us at the moment.

We're back after a looooong hiatus with a big catch-up episode. We're talking about what we've been up to over the last 6 months, including traveling to Paris with mononucleosis, starting a business, and establishing a skincare routine (we'll let you guess who did what). Hey we know it's been awhile but we're all busy, it's fine. Catch up with us over at instagram.com/circleoftrustpodcast.

We're wrapping up our third season with an episode we like to call "Jill, Fix My Life!" Jill is answering our listener-submitted life questions on everything from fixing friendships, nagging husbands, pillows, raising kids, and more! Of course, Julie and Cassie put their two cents in, too. Check out our episode guide at circloftrustpodcast.com or chat with us at instagram.com/circleoftrustpodcast!

Social Media - we hate to love it and love to hate it, and in this episode we're chatting about our personal histories with social media as well as our favorite parts and biggest pet peeves. We also disgrace this podcast with about 3 minutes of confused sports talk. Sorry about that. We'd love to hear from you this week on instagram.com/circleoftrustpodcast

The Circle's back together this week and we're talking about pets! You'll figure out pretty quickly that even though we have a lot of experience, we're not the best animal owners. But we're sharing about our favorite pets, fantasy pets, pet voices, and the worst things our pets have ever done. Check us out on instagram.com/circleoftrustpodcast to join the conversation and tell us your pet stories!

We're trying something new this week with the podcast - a feature called Circle of Trust: Conversations. We are introducing you, our circle, to people we think you should know. For our very first conversation we wanted you to hear from Justin and Amanda McNeil from Meant to Be TV! They share with us about their interesting dating story, what they've learned in their 8-year marriage, and what they do each week to maintain healthy communication. Honestly... it's some relationship GOLD. You can find out more at circleoftrustpodcast.com or join the conversation at instagram.com/circleoftrustpodcast.

This week we are exploring four of the spiritual disciplines and talking about our personal experiences with incorporating Bible reading, prayer, fasting, and Sabbath into our lives. Lest you think this episode might veer towards the serious, we also list Christian books we HAVEN'T read, our family history of snake handling, and conviction over Netflix shows.

Parties! One of us loves them, one of us hates them, and one of us is ambivalent about them - we'll let you guess who's who. Even though we may have a love/hate relationship with them, we're really good at throwing them, from small gatherings to massive parties for 300 people or more. You'll hear our best tips for throwing a real banger and dive deep into the world of party anxiety. Also, Jill shares her recent venture into a progressive dinner. Meet us on our website, circleoftrustpodcast.com or on instagram.com/circleoftrustpodcast to join the conversation!

Work has been a high value in our families, and in this episode, we're talking first jobs, best jobs, worst jobs, and weirdest jobs. Plus, we get a follow-up about Egg Lady and Jill's quest to make 100 scrambled eggs (spoiler alert: it doesn't happen - thanks Polar Vortex of 2019!). You can find out more about this and other episodes in our episode guide at circleoftrustpodcast.com or join our conversation on instagram.com/circleoftrustpodcast.

Adulting. This made-up word conjures up all the feels! A little pride, a little anxiety, a little nausea, mostly exhaustion. We talk about all the ways we are adulting, or at least trying to, in this kick-off episode of season 3. Join us online at circleoftrustpodcast.com for our episode guide, where we link everything we talk about, and follow us on instagram.com/circleoftrustpodcast to join in the conversation on this and other episodes!

Happy New Year! In the final episode of Season 2, we look at the best and worst of 2018 and come to this conclusion: it wasn't ALL bad. We share our resolutions for 2019 and talk about our biggest wishes for the coming year (please, God, no more invasive medical procedures). Check out our episode guide at circleoftrustpodcast.com for more information on this episode!

In this episode you're in for a real treat - our husbands are our special guests! When it comes to marriage, we're all across the board - Kyle & Cassie are newlyweds, Julie and Mike have been married for almost 15 years, and Aaron & Jill have been married for almost two decades! We start out with the Newlywed Game, which is guaranteed to cause marital distress and fights. After that, you’ll hear us share about our love stories and some things we’ve learned along the way in our marriages. And you won't want to miss an extra special guest, "Tammy"! Check out our episode guide at circleoftrustpodcast.com for info & links to things we talk about this week!

The three of us have had our fair share of bad news in life, and this episode is about what you do after the bottom drops out. How do you respond when life kicks you in the gut? Who do you share your bad news with? How do you pray, and what do you hang on to? What do you do when you can't get out of bed? We share the things we've learned over time. And, on a lighter note, we also spend about 15 minutes talking about facial hair removal. Check out our episode guide at circleoftrustpodcast.com for links and more!
