Why We Love Jennifer & Stephanie!

by in:Contributor Spotlight

One of my favorite parts about being the Community Manager of (in)courage is getting to connect with the amazing women behind the screen. I haven't (yet) had the privilege of meeting all 27 writers in person, but I have met the two women we're shining the spotlight on today!

But I hadn’t allowed enough time for it to finish its ascent. CRUNCH! Stunned, I slammed on the brake. I’d hit the door — the brand new garage door my ...

The Four Words That Will Free You
From Needing Their Approval

She wanted to sign up for volleyball that winter. Then again, she didn’t. I watched my daughter from across the kitchen table, while our waffles grew cold. The sign-up sheet and a ballpoint pen sat between us, next to the syrup bottle. “It would be fun — sooo much fun, Mom!” Her face lit up like a flashing LED display. “And my best friends will be on the team, and they’ll help me work on my serve.” With a swoop of an arm, she knocked over the syrup bottle. “But . . . ” That one ...
