SEASON THREE - THE GIVING GIFTS PODCAST - EPISODE 13 - 03/20/23
More than what you do with beth leipholtz
Do you ever notice that one of the very first questions we ask when we meet someone is "what do you do?" or "how do you spend your time", expecting the recipient of this question to have a quick, 60-second answer? What a weird world we live in, filled with mixed messages about who you are, what you're worth, and what's important.
If you met Beth Leipholtz today, you may learn quickly that she is a wife, mom, author, full-time web designer, photographer, creative, podcaster, sober, friend, an inclusion and accessibility advocate, a cross-fitter, AND who Beth is so much more than any one of those titles could hold. It will only take 60 seconds to recognize that Beth has a great story, but it's in the "long-winded answers" that you'll experience the depth of what Beth creates, why she creates, and who she is.
“Things are not in my control. I am 100% a recovering control freak. I am not the mom that I thought I would be…you want to eat dirt? you want to eat that areo off the floor at target? Go for it, I have bigger battles to fight”
This episode is simply an intro to a real story of a real person doing really incredible things in this world. I am so thankful to deliver this gift that was given to me.
Beth shares daily moments of her life on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, I would encourage you to give her a follow! The ABCs Of Inclusion, Beth’s very first children’s book comes out tomorrow, Tuesday, Mar 20th! Check that out here!
FOR YOU TO CONSIDER
The hope & vision for The Giving Gifts podcast is that sharing real stories from real people, who are navigating how to use their gifts in this world, it will spur on conversations and encourage you to identify your gift, navigate how to use your gift, and find the courage to share your own story!
If someone asked you to tell them about yourself, what are the first few things that come to mind? Is that a reflection of who you are?
What questions are you asking the people around you? Choose one person this week and go out of your way to create space for a longer than 60-second answer.
One of the greatest ways to support others is to invest in learning and sharing. How can you support Beth this week? How can you support. The Giving Gifts this week?
