Podcast Interview with Lisa Dettinger Hosted By: Valeria Teles Fitforjoy.org/podcast Valeria: This word is such a powerful word surrender. And a lot of times...

Besides God, nobody really knows what you’re going through: how much you’re juggling, what you’ve been through, what you’re facing. And since it’s just the two of us here, we can be gut-level honest, so go ahead and relax your shoulders, take a deep breath, and let your guard down.

Are you overwhelmed?

Maybe you have had it “up to here” with your kids. You love them, of course, but they are driving you crazy. Maybe you’re drowning in mounting bills and don’t see a way out. Perhaps you received a dreaded diagnosis and now you’re in for a battle to survive. Holiday season? “Stressmas” is a better word for it. Maybe it’s your marriage. Why does it have to be so difficult? Why can’t your husband be more like so-and-so’s? Or maybe you’re grieving over the death of a loved one. There’s a gaping hole in your heart that will never be filled and no one understands why you’re not over it yet. Maybe that mile-long to-do list just keeps. Getting. Longer. Or you hear your father or mother’s voice continually ringing in your ears that you’ll never be good enough.

Maybe it’s all these things at the same time. When it rains it pours, right? You seem to be the one that everything happens to. So your life constantly hovers between overwhelm and numbness. You’re either teetering on the edge of a breakdown or you’re numb to it all because you’ve got to cope somehow. Not feeling anything is a safer alternative to feeling everything.

You have a choice. You can shift from Overwhelming to Overflowing!

In this episode, Valeria Teles interviews Lisa Dettinger the author of Fully Whelmed: Shifting From Overwhelm To Overflow.

With an Education degree that spans PK-12, Lisa Dettinger has over 25 years of professional experience working with children, teens, college students, and adults and even homeschooled her own three children for seventeen years. After equipping nearly 1,000 students with simple strategies for essay-writing, Lisa designed two online courses for grades 4-8 and high school. Her work has been published for university classes, teaching journals, virtual charter schools, and homeschools.  In addition, Lisa is a Certified Christian Life Coach, serving individuals and families. Her book "Fully Whelmed: Shifting from Overwhelm to Overflow" was published February of 2020, and in 2018 she released "Our Secret Journal Revealed" (co-authored with her then tween, now adult daughter). Lisa has provided manifold classes, workshops, and presentations for adults and children in schools, churches, camps, and support groups. She believes the best part of teaching, presenting, and life coaching is witnessing that "aha moment" - that instant when the light turns on, the student or client owns their discovery, and they are eager to move forward with it. During the summer of 2019, Lisa helped create a Christian school on a mission base in Ghana, Africa by choosing curriculum, supplying and setting up classrooms, and training teachers and staff.
