Tis the season, time for celebrating the holidays: Christmas, Hannukah, Kwaanza or whatever lights your fancy.

For the month of December Unabashed You is cracking open the vault and pulling out some merry ‘ol holiday episodes of times past. Get your warm cozies on, some hot chocolate and snuggle up to some lighthearted mirth. It’s the best kind of mirth there is.

So, let’s talk traditions - old and new, movies, songs and anything else that spells this time of year.

“Treat every day Like Christmas”

We’re doing something a little different this week. We’re going to celebrate Christmas.

Shaun graced us with his presence by bringing his A-game of whimsy, impressions, and as always, fun. We thought of a few memories, walked through some would-you-rathers, and he guessed on a bunch of Christmas trivia.

Be sure to have some fun with loved ones this season. I know we’ll have a Merry Christmas and we are wishing you one too!

Are you listening?

What if embracing your worth started with simply listening — to others, to God, and to your own heart? In this episode I’m joined by Carroll Patrizi, the voice behind the inspiring “Dear Carol” series, where she blends humor, wisdom, and heart much like a modern-day “Dear Abby.” (Her podcast is called Conversations with Carroll.)

Growing up as one of eleven children in Beaumont, Texas, Carroll learned early on the beauty of connection and the power of stories. Today, she shares how active listening, surrender, and self-care have become her spiritual tools for living a full, joyful life. Tune in as we talk about faith, family, and finding grace in every step of the journey.

Carroll is our guest this week for Spicy Christian Women - Becoming All that and a Bag of Chips. This is part two.

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t a lack of faith — but a lack of surrender?

In this inspiring conversation, Carroll Patrizi shares how learning to let go of control, and truly trust God, transformed her confidence, her marriage, and her purpose.

She dives deep into the power of the subconscious, how past experiences shape our fears, and how accountability in faith can break the cycle of self-doubt. If you’ve been craving a fresh start or wondering what it means to really put God first, this episode will remind you that confidence grows where surrender begins.
