Groundtable {The Origin Stories} The Expectancy of God's Faithfulness with Author Susan Binkley

Welcome to our first segment of Groundtable {The Origin Stories} on Yellow Soul! You'll meet my incredible co-host Brit Albin! Learn who she is from this previous interview. In today's episode we have the honor of listening to the unfolding of a miraculous story from our guest Susan Binkley, Author of My Front Row Seat A Collection of Stories From My Time Working Alongside Women In Recovery and Founder of non-profit, Blue Monarch. Susan and I were beautifully connected through Tyler Bertola, Literary Agent, with our publisher, The Fedd Agency.

Blue Monarch recently celebrated their 20th year as an organization! Blue Monarch's mission is to provide a long-term, residential and therapeutic Christian community for women and their children to break adverse cycles and rebuild their families. They assist women and their children who are overcoming addiction, abuse, and economic hardship to transform in mind, body, and spirit. Their program focuses on the child’s recovery as much as the mom’s and Susan shares more in depth with us just how important these children are to her! They also provide hands-on coaching for mothers learning to parent their children sober. They believe destructive cycles can be broken, families can be healed, and freedom from addiction can be found through Christ.

Susan and her team have supported families since 2003 through Blue Monarch and has served nearly 1,000 women and children and close to 350 children have been reunited with their mothers who had previously lost custody!

A few of our favorite pieces Susan shares with us is how she and her team prevent burnout, pivots in her organization that were a game changer, and why it's so important to say, "yes," to your mission! We adores Susan's grace, grit, and gumption which has shaped her conviction to do some really hard things that became beautiful in her life.  

If you are a non-profit owner or looking to get started, have your pen and paper ready to write down her pearls of wisdom! 

We believe this could be the best part of your day!

Thank you for listening friend!

Hosted by Juliette Marhofer-Dugger, Yellow Soul is built on the belief that the experiences which shape us are worth examining, no matter how messy or unconventional they might seem. This interview-based podcast moves through a unique landscape where personal faith, professional hustle, and the pursuit of meaning constantly intersect. Each episode features candid, "rogue" conversations that refuse to stay in neat boxes, exploring how spirituality informs business decisions, how entrepreneurship tests personal values, and how the journey of self-improvement is often deeply rooted in something greater. You'll hear from a variety of voices discussing the real, often unspoken, challenges and triumphs found at the crossroads of Christianity, commerce, and personal growth. The guiding idea is simple yet profound: if something defined you, it matters. This podcast creates a space to unpack those defining moments with honesty and depth, offering listeners not just stories, but frameworks for reflection on their own paths. It’s for anyone who feels their career, their faith, and their inner life aren’t separate journeys, but threads of a single, complex tapestry. Tune in for discussions that are as practical as they are spiritual, always grounded in the real-world application of ideas that can transform both your work and your soul.
