When Manda Carpenter stepped outside her marriage in unfaithfulness to her husband, the guilt and secrecy around what she had done spiraled into suicidal ideations. She didn’t see a way out, and thought it would be better that she weren’t alive…Until she confessed her greatest mistake and began to heal what was broken. Through her intentional soul care practices and a lot of grace, she was able to climb out of darkness and find the light once again!

 

In this episode, we discuss how to transform your life through tending to your soul in a way that requires vulnerability and grace. We also discuss relevant cultural topics for engaging in today’s world in a healthy and productive way.

- Manda’s personal story and the root-cause of her infidelity

  • Soul care practices to transform your own life and live the life you long for
  • Shame and it’s power over us
  • The power of grace and love
  • The power of vulnerability and sharing our story
  • How to decide what to share, and how to share it
  • Manda’s view on cancel culture, the toxicity it brings to our society, and how to engage positively to move constructive conversations forward instead

  • What it means to have privilege and identifying it within ourselves

 

These topics and more (much more!) are included in Manda’s newest book, Soul Care to Save Your Life. Inside, she shares 15 soul care practices to move past your mistakes and transform your life — ultimately leading to a life well lived!
