Trusting God With What We Cannot Control
Today's Mini Monday episode of the Superlatively Yes Podcast is coming from a very real and tender place. If you woke up feeling overwhelmed, behind, or carrying something heavy before your feet even hit the floor… this episode is for you. Tanya shares an honest reflection on what it means to live through seasons of unexpected change, emotional weight, and the quiet pressures of everyday life. In a world that often pushes us to keep going faster, this episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember what actually matters. You'll be reminded that you are not alone in what you're feeling. Behind every front door are real lives filled with both joy and struggle. And even in the middle of uncertainty, you still have the capacity to move forward. This episode explores the powerful idea that the opposite of anxiety isn't calm… it's surrender. Letting go of what was never ours to carry. Trusting God with what we cannot control. And choosing to take just the next right step. Tanya also brings back one of the most meaningful concepts from the show: Proof the Day Existed. A reminder that progress doesn't have to be big to be meaningful. Showing up counts. Taking a breath counts. Choosing peace counts. If life feels like a lot right now, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and move forward with grace. Because the goal isn't perfection. The goal is proof. And some days, that is more than enough.

The Truth About Unexpected Change
MAR 16, 2026
The Truth About Unexpected Change
Unexpected change has a way of getting our attention. We can hear about changes happening in the world all day long, but until something shifts in our own routines, our families, or our plans, we don't truly feel the weight of it. In this Mini Monday episode of the Superlatively Yes Podcast, Tanya talks about navigating seasons of uncertainty, stress, family dynamics, and the unexpected turns that life brings. She reflects on the reality that behind every front door is a family experiencing both good days and hard days, and that the human condition connects us all more than we realize. Tanya shares how faith, prayer, patience, and simple daily actions can help us move forward even when life feels overwhelming. She introduces her word for 2026—Triple—and what it means to pray for triple provision, opportunity, creativity, strength, and influence. This episode is an encouraging reminder that most problems are temporary, most people are good, and most situations are figure-out-able with faith, patience, and one irreversible task at a time. If you are navigating change, feeling overwhelmed, or simply need a hopeful reset for the week ahead, this episode will remind you that you are not alone and that the best chapters of your life may still be ahead. Topics in this episode include: Unexpected life changes Faith during difficult seasons Prayer and trusting God's timing Managing anxiety and stress Family dynamics and life transitions The power of daily progress The "Irreversible Task" mindset Finding strength during uncertain times Be safe, be funny, and say yes to the good stuff.

It's Giving Swinter

It's Giving Swinter
A few themes from this episode: Healing is humbling, and sometimes accepting help is its own kind of growth. Not everything in modern life feels as user-friendly as it should. Your nervous system deserves compassion, too. Midlife may come with more sock decisions than anyone prepared us for. A good evening routine can be an act of self-respect. In this episode of Superlatively Yes, Tanya and Jen are back behind the microphones, talking through one of those very specific life seasons where everything feels just a little harder than it should. From the strange weather whiplash of "swinter" to the humbling realities of recovering from surgery with only one working arm, this conversation is full of the kind of honest, funny, and deeply relatable moments that make you feel less alone. Jen shares the surprisingly long list of everyday tasks that become nearly impossible with one arm, including driving through Chick-fil-A, putting on deodorant, typing, fixing hair, changing sheets, and simply opening a bag of almonds with dignity intact. Tanya, meanwhile, brings stories from real life that include cleaning an apartment alone for hours, nearly taking Shawn out with a Swiffer after being startled half to death, and trying to make sense of why husbands seem uniquely gifted at appearing out of nowhere and alarming the women they love. The conversation takes a delightful turn through Bridgerton parties, Life360 surveillance by beloved family members, and the deeply unserious but somehow very important question of what socks grown women are supposed to be wearing now. Compression socks, slouch socks, no-shows, crew socks — nothing is simple anymore, and Tanya and Jen are not afraid to say so. Underneath all the laughter, this episode also lands on something meaningful. The girls talk about why life can suddenly feel more complicated in certain seasons, how technology should be making life easier but often doesn't, and what it looks like to thoughtfully care for yourself when your energy feels stretched thin. Jen shares what she is saying "superlatively yes" to right now: a new evening routine, better rest, and creating time for herself before bed instead of falling into the trap of revenge bedtime procrastination. Tanya opens up about self-talk, inner criticism, and the slow work of learning to treat yourself with more kindness. This episode is funny, comforting, thoughtful, and full of the kind of side conversations that somehow end up telling the truth. If you've ever felt overstimulated, overcomplicated, under-rested, or personally attacked by seasonal wardrobe changes, this one is for you.
