My guest this week on the 20,000 Words Podcast is the beautiful, Kacey Hagerty. You may recognize her if you live in the Nashville area from WSMV – Channel 4 News. She is a correspondent for Today in Nashville airing weekdays at 11am.
I met Kacey when I was doing weekly cooking segments on Channel 4 a couple of years ago. She is so sweet, and I immediately picked up on her love for the Lord, as you will hear in this episode. She shares what real life is like for her despite her “glamorous” job, as well as how she stays grounded in who she is in Christ, regardless of her career in the public eye.
We had such a sweet conversation, I think you will be refreshed and encouraged.
Starting of the new year with a long time friend of mine and professional wedding planner Emily Humphries. Emily and I got to talk about her wedding planning business and how she has grown in so many areas after 9 years of being her own boss. She gave me some great insight into how she handles being a wife, mom of one and pregnant with another, while managing her work.
I love her heart and the way she filters everything through the words. She gave some great illustrations from scripture that have stuck with me. I think you will love her spunk and her wisdom in our conversation, I know I did!
Check out her website http://www.simplyyoursweddings.com and be sure to keep up with her over on Instagram @simplyemhumph and @simplyyoursweddings.

I have looked up to this woman for many years (and not only because of her killer guns…), so I was thrilled that she took the time to come on my podcast! Candy Coburn’s vivacious personality, contagious smile, and big voice have made her many fans over the years! Candy and I talked in Episode 5 of 20,000 Words all about her life as a musician on the road with 7 employees, a tour bus, and chasing “success” as a musician all while being a wife and mom of two boys. I asked her some pretty frank questions about how she balanced her family life during that season, and Candy answered so honestly.
She told me about a big turning point in her life, quitting drinking and recovery, and how helping people and her relationship with God has changed everything in her life. She has beautiful story that I can relate to in so many ways. You are going to fall in love with her, and I hope learn a thing or two about what’s truly important in this life by listening to this episode.

Seriously, look at this picture, how gorgeous is this momma and her girls? This is Chantelle Becking, my guest on Episode 4 of the 20,000 Words podcast! Chantelle is the mom of 5 girls, that she and her husband, Eric have adopted internationally as well as through foster care. They may look picture perfect, but Chantelle will be the first to tell you they are everything but. Tasking risks and “living adventurously” is hard but so worth it. She shares more about their journey on this episode, it’s challenging and encouraging especially for all the mommas out there.
Don’t forget to follow Chantelle and her family at Becking Clinic on Facebook to read some of her super honest writing, see videos of their crazy-fun clan, and more. Now, go listen to this episode with Chantelle, you won’t regret it!
The beautiful lady pictured below, is someone who has had a profound impact on my life. Debby Bivins is a freedom dweller, lover of people, and all around joy to be around. You may not know her name, because she does the hard work of loving others in her community, living life with people day in and day out, and giving of her time freely to create a space where people can come as they are, without much recognition. She doesn’t broadcast all of her good works online or preach about her work from a big stage, she just does the work faithfully. However, after you listen to this podcast you won’t forget her story or the words of wisdom she shares!
There is so much talk about abortion especially in the political climate we find ourselves in today, but this debate has been going on for decades. We hear so many people shouting about their “side,” but sometimes we fail to listen to someone who has actually been through it. Debby shares her experience with me in this podcast, even though it is difficult and she knows may result in judgement from others. I challenge you to listen to her perspective, receive her words with grace, and send this to someone who might need to hear a message of truth and freedom from shame.
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1
