Podcast Swap: In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with Joy Johnson: Coach, Speaker, Host Of The Top 1.5% Globally Ranked Podcast “The Journey To Becoming” And The Founder Of The Joyful Fit Life Community. 

Joy is a fellow California girl! She lives in California with her husband and her two wonderful children. She says, "Today, my life is better than I could ever imagine." Listen as Joy and Rhonda share some valuable insights regarding Mentorship, Motherhood and Faith.
Together, we dive deep into biblical motherhood, mentorship, healing, and the importance of learning from the women who have gone before us. Rooted in the wisdom of Titus 2, this conversation explores how God designed women to encourage, disciple, and strengthen one another through every season of life.
Rhonda shares wisdom from over 40 years of helping women build “no regrets” lives, offering practical encouragement for mothers, grandmothers, and women seeking to grow deeper in their walk with God. I also open up about my personal testimony, the healing journey that transformed my parenting, and how I learned to create biblical boundaries in motherhood.
We talk about:
•What it means to mother from healing instead of pain
•Why your children are not extensions of you
•Biblical motherhood and the Titus 2 woman
•Christian mentorship and generational wisdom
•Emotional, mental, and physical health for women
•Becoming an advocate for yourself as you get older
•Healing family patterns through Christ
•The importance of healthy boundaries in parenting
•Faith-filled encouragement for moms in every season
This episode is filled with biblical truth, encouragement, wisdom, and practical insight for Christian women, mothers, and grandmothers who desire to grow in faith, healing, and purpose.
If you’ve been longing for encouragement in your motherhood journey or wisdom from women who have walked before you, this conversation will remind you that God is still shaping your story — and your healing matters for generations to come.

Mother's Day is beautiful for many women.
But for some of you — it's complicated.
Maybe you grew up with a mom who was harsh. Critical. Absent. Selfish. Or just simply not what you needed her to be. And every Mother's Day, while the world celebrates with flowers and brunch and sentimental cards — something inside you quietly aches.
This episode is for you.
Rhonda Stoppe takes us straight to one of the most disturbing mother-daughter stories in all of Scripture.
Herodias.
You may know her as the woman who demanded John the Baptist's head on a platter.
But what you may not have considered is this —
She didn't carry that platter herself.
She sent her daughter to do it.
Herodias was so consumed by her own bitterness, her own need for revenge, her own undealt-with sin — that she used her daughter Salome as a weapon. And in doing so, she robbed that girl of half a kingdom — and trained her to become just as vile as she was.
It is one of the saddest mom stories in the entire Bible.
And Rhonda refuses to leave you there.
Because here is the truth that this episode builds to — the truth that Rhonda has watched transform women across decades of ministry:
Having a bad mom does not mean you have to become one.
In Christ — you can be the thread that changes everything in your family line. The one who says, the cycle ends with me.The one who chooses forgiveness — not because the pain wasn't real, not because what happened to you was okay — but because forgiveness is the first step to freedom.
And freedom, friend, is exactly what God has for you.
In this powerful episode you will discover:
The shocking story of Herodias and what her revenge truly cost her daughter
Why confronting sin in love is one of the most caring things you can do — and how to do it well
The truth about sexual immorality that every mom needs to speak boldly into her children's lives
Why walking in purity positions your children to make the most important decisions of their lives led by the Spirit of God
How to forgive a mother who was harsh, abusive, or negligent — and why your freedom depends on it
The liberating truth that in Christ you are a new creation — fully equipped to break free from whatever you were raised with
Whether you had a wonderful mom or a heartbreaking one — whether you are carrying wounds you have never spoken out loud or patterns you are terrified of repeating — this episode will meet you with grace, truth, and the hope that only comes from Jesus.
Because in Him — your story does not have to look like hers.

What would you grab if you had sixty seconds to leave your home forever?
It's a question most of us have never had to answer. We did during the California Wildfires. And Lot's wife did too. And her answer — told not in words but in one devastating backward glance — cost her everything.
Lot's wife had a home. A life. Possessions. A community she had built in Sodom. And when God said go — she couldn't resist one last look at everything she was leaving behind.
And in that one moment of looking back, she was gone.
Now before we shake our heads at Lot's wife — Rhonda wants us to look in the mirror first.
Because if we're honest?
We do it too.
We look back at the comfort we've lost. The life we planned. Things we thought we deserved. Stuff we accumulated can quietly become more important than our obedience to God.
And Rhonda's phrase for this episode will stay with you long after it's over —
"People over possessions."
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER:
The sobering story of Lot's wife and the one backward glance that changed everything
Why God's command to not look back was about so much more than direction — it was about the condition of her heart
The powerful phrase Rhonda returns to again and again: "People over possessions"
How our attachment to comfort, stuff, and security quietly competes with our obedience to God
The liberating truth that when we choose people over possessions — we gain something no stuff could ever give us
KEY SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:
Genesis 19 — The story of Lot's wife
Luke 17:32 — "Remember Lot's wife" 
Matthew 6:19-21 — "Store up treasures in heaven"
Luke 12:15 — "Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions"
RHONDA'S KEY PHRASE FOR THIS EPISODE: "People over possessions."
Write it on a sticky note. Let it be the filter through which you make decisions this week and always.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
Pull Up a Chair: The Conversation Every Mom Needs to Hear —Rhonda Stoppe &
Deb Weakly Get Real_A Podcast Takeover You Don't Want to Miss
What happens when two women who have spent decades pouring into moms, marriages, and families sit down together and just talk?
You get this episode.
Rhonda Stoppe of Old Ladies Know Stuff and Deb Weakly of Help Club for Moms are taking over each other's podcasts — and the wisdom they serve up in this conversation is the kind you only get from women who have lived it, prayed through it, failed at it, repented of it, and come out the other side still standing — and still deeply in love with Jesus.
In this warm, honest, laugh-out-loud and occasionally tear-jerking conversation, Rhonda and Deb tackle the real stuff — the things moms and wives are thinking about at 2am when they can't sleep:
You'll hear Deb share the single piece of parenting advice that stopped her cold — one look at her daughter's tiny hands that changed everything about how she showed up as a mom.
And you'll both laugh and nod along as these two women remind you that the gray hairs are earned, the lessons are hard-won, and the best is absolutely still ahead.
Because here's what Rhonda and Deb both know to be true:
God chose you — in this moment in history — to raise this generation. And He will not leave you to figure it out alone.
This episode covers the best marriage advice nobody tells you, the danger of making your children your best friend, what Eve's "just a little bit more" moment has to do with your scrolling habits, why stepmoms matter more than they know, the power of Scripture memory at 2am when anxiety won't let you sleep, and why linking arms with other women isn't optional — it's obedience.
Come for the wisdom. Stay for the friendship. Share it with every mom and wife you know.
Because old ladies really do know stuff — and they want to share it with you.
