Episode 12: Peace Within. Peace Without.

In this episode of the Etiquiette for Dangerous Women Podcast, Jaime walks in the woods in the peace before a storm that is approaching. This setting becomes a metaphor for the inner peace she's been reflecting on through a course she and her husband are leading called Knowing Rediscovered (by IdentityExchange.Com). They've led the course three times now, and each time has brought deeper personal insight.A key takeaway for Jaime is: “You can’t give what you don’t have.” If we are at war within ourselves, we cannot bring peace to the world around us. She reflects on how Jesus lived with perfect inner peace, always aligned with God’s will—even in suffering.Jaime shares an example from her week: leading a Bible-and-horsemanship camp for kids. On one day, her peace was disrupted by a personal disappointment. Though the issue wasn’t major, it unsettled her, and she noticed how that internal conflict made the day feel more chaotic with the kids.She highlights how unresolved expectations can rob us of peace, and that true peace often requires “dying” to those expectations—trusting God with outcomes we can't control. Letting go creates space for resurrection: something better on the other side of disappointment.Jamie ends with this powerful insight: We learn best, lead best, and love best when we live from peace. Peace allows us to engage others meaningfully—especially children—and to open ourselves to transformation and deeper connection with God. This is a public episode.
