Ever wondered how faith and reason can coexist harmoniously? Join us as we journey with Dr. Jerek Petros, a distinguished orthodontist and fervent Christian apologist, who shares his transformative path to Christianity and his mission to defend the faith. Dr. Jerek's insights, rooted in the ancient Greek concept of "apologia", offer a compelling case for the truth of Christianity, making apologetics accessible even to those initially hesitant, like myself.

Explore the profound impact of apologetics on personal faith, not merely as a tool for conversion but as a means to deepen understanding and resilience. Discover how grappling with the reasons behind our beliefs can fortify our confidence, offer stability in times of doubt, and enrich our comprehension of the Bible. We tackle common obstacles like apathy, intellectual reasoning, and emotional barriers, providing strategies to overcome self-doubt and reinforce trust in God's truth.

Through heartfelt discussions, we examine the coexistence of God and evil, the role of free will, and the importance of expressing emotions in our relationship with God. With personal stories and practical advice, this episode underscores the value of a supportive community and open dialogue in nurturing a resilient and authentic faith. Join us for an episode filled with wisdom, empathy, and encouragement for believers navigating their faith journeys.

Waking up to a blaring alarm, I used to plunge into my day headfirst, often feeling overwhelmed for the day ahead of me. That all changed when I discovered the magic of a purposeful morning routine, and I'm here to guide you through creating one that can elevate your days. Join me in unpacking the components of my own ritual—a blend of prayer, intention-setting, and gratitude—that primes me for success. I'll show you how to pick one non-negotiable habit that serves as your daily anchor, and together we'll explore how this small commitment can lead to monumental shifts in focus and productivity. I'll also share the reality of maintaining these habits when life gets chaotic, underlining the importance of consistency, not perfection, as we build these life-enhancing practices together.

I'm passionate about helping you craft a morning routine that's as unique as you are, and I'm offering a complimentary 30-minute call to do just that. We'll assess what fuels your soul and carve out a personalized plan to kickstart your day on the right note.

How often do you find yourself pursuing the next big thing, only to feel a sense of emptiness once you achieve it? If this is you then you might struggle with being content. In this episode we discuss how contentment isn't about having everything you desire, it's a state of peaceful happiness and acceptance of your current circumstances. It's that feeling of fulfillment that comes from knowing you have enough, and that your worth doesn't hinge on external achievements.

In our pursuit of a grateful life, we uncover practical steps to weave contentment into our daily existence. I discuss the transformative power of journaling and how the cathartic release of decluttering, both physically and digitally, can make room for appreciation of the here and now. By engaging in these mindful practices, we not only nurture our well-being but also spark a wave of positivity . Join me, as together we learn to cherish our achievements and the simple joys that each day brings, fostering a life that's as content as it is connected.

As I opened the pages of my childhood diary, I never imagined the sanctuary of lined paper would evolve into my greatest tool for healing and self-discovery. On today's podcast, I extend a heartfelt invitation to explore the practice of journaling. Embarking on this voyage reveals how chronicling our thoughts transcends mere record-keeping; it allows for profound reflection and emotional clarity. I share my own intimate journey through the written word, from a young girl finding solace to an adult using journaling as a roadmap for personal growth.

This isn't just about documenting the day-to-day; it's an exploration of gratitude, revisiting successes, and a strategic planning session all rolled into one. By introducing my custom journal that incorporates gratitude, goal-setting, and prayer, I provide a template for your daily musings that could very well be the catalyst for remarkable personal transformation.

We conclude our session by weighing the minimal risks against the boundless rewards of starting a journaling habit. A commitment to just 90 days of introspection can unveil insights that might otherwise remain unexplored. For those ready to embark on this journey, the show notes contain prompts and a workbook brimming with strategies to kickstart your path to self-discovery. So take up the pen and let this episode be the start of a more reflective, goal-oriented, and joy-filled you.

Pastor Dawn Jackson takes us on a journey from her early days at the pulpit to her influential role as a pastor and life coach. Her story is a testament to the power of embracing one's calling, breaking through the barriers faced by women in a predominately male-dominated sphere, and the sheer joy she finds in guiding others through life's peaks and valleys.

Our heart-to-heart with Pastor Dawn illuminates the transformative initiatives of the importance of programs that support women in ministry, which are revolutionizing support for Christian women leaders. We touch upon the scriptures that anchor women's place in church leadership, with stories of Jesus's own regard for women as disciples. It's a discussion that underlines the strides made and the nurturing of a vibrant, faith-fueled community.

Pastor Dawn's wisdom and strength have been a guiding light in my own venture into ministry and I hope she brings some light to your path of where God is taking you. It's an episode that not only celebrates the leaps made by women in leadership, but also seeks to embolden those ready to tread their own path with joy and unwavering faith.

The episode isn't just about routines, though; it's practical advice, including how to carve out time for self-care and why "leaving work at work" isn't just a catchphrase, but a crucial practice for thriving in all areas of life.

We're also spilling the beans on the game-changing strategy of meal planning. We dish out tips on navigating the complexities of meal planning and the genius of making the most out of leftovers.

Ever stood at life's crossroads, torn between the call to quit, the need to pivot, or the burning desire to persevere? That's where I found myself, with a successful clothing business that no longer sparked joy, faced with the temptation to either cling to the known or bravely venture into the unknown. This episode is a heart-to-heart on making those tough decisions, with a nod to the wisdom of scriptures like Philippians 3:14 and Proverbs 3:5-6, revealing how these passages can be a compass during our most transformative moments.

Transitioning from a flourishing fashion entrepreneur to a passionate podcaster and life coach wasn't a walk in the park. But it's the lessons from that shift – about passion, stubbornness, and fear of failure – that I'm eager to share. The 2020 pandemic threw a wrench in many plans, yet it also offered a unique chance to reassess and grow. I'll recount how embracing this opportunity led me to a new calling, one that aligns with my deeper passions and allows for a richer engagement with you, my listeners.

Wrapping up, we'll explore the profound impact of faith, trust, and understanding our purpose through the lens of a higher calling. I'll share behind-the-scenes insights from the early days of this podcast, including how an unexpected change in focus surprisingly led to more listeners. By the end of our time together, I hope to leave you with a renewed sense of when to hold on tight to your dreams and when to have the courage to change course, all while trusting in a timing that's beyond our own understanding. Join me, and let's navigate these life-changing decisions together with confidence and clarity.

This episode is a fun little pep talk with a few fun stories of when I literally got crapped on! Yes, you read that right...I got pooped on, not just once but twice! I share two fun stories of how I dealt with being crapped on and the lessons learned from it.

Ever had one of those days when every tiny thing seems to go wrong? When Zeek and Zoey my beagle fur babies decided to indulge in doggy delicacies found on the ground during our regular walks, my day went from peaceful to chaotic in seconds. But amidst that frustration, I found a chance to learn grace under pressure. My dogs' misadventures served as a reminder that while we can't always control the situation, we can control our response. So, I chose to stay composed and not let the situation get the best of me.

I also rewind to another lesson when I was a first time mom, to the time when an explosive diaper incident at the mall turned into a messy, yet amusing ordeal. Despite being covered in poop, I chose to carry on, embrace the less-than-ideal situation, and enjoy the rest of the day. That's right - life isn't always perfect, but it sure is full of moments that can bring us joy if we let it. So, join me on this rollercoaster of emotions and experiences, and let's learn to chase joy together, one podcast episode at a time. Because as I've learned from my lessons of literally getting crapped on, the best way to spread joy and laugh about life's mishaps is to share it.

If this episode brought you joy or even made you laugh, will you spread the joy and share it with someone you love!

In this episode I interview Fletcher Cleaves who has been one of my most inspiring to date guest I have had on the show! His story of resilience, triumph and joy will bring you to tears. At only 18 years old, Fletcher was involved in a tragic car accident caused by a distracted driver that left him as a quadriplegic. During the time of the accident, he was a 1st year college football player on scholarship and lost it all. His life was changed in a minute, by one distracted driver.

He didn't let this tragic event stop him from living his best life. He knew he had a calling to share his testimony and persevere! After a year of intense rehabilitation he enrolled back into college and earned his degree in Computer Science. He most recently, has been moving into the path of being a motivational speaker and has spoken on some pretty epic stages like: EPSN, College Game Day, TEDX, Ohio State University, Ole Miss Football Team, and has been a spokesperson for AT&T distracted driving campaign.

Fletcher has not let adversity hold him back from living a life of joy. He has become independent in living on his own, driving on his own and traveling around the world living life. He has gone sky diving, swam with sharks, dunked in cenotes and embraced his nickname "The Traveling Nomad". His ability to see beyond his circumstances, will inspire you and encourage you to live your best life despite the cards you've been dealt.

Fletcher moves me to tears in the episode and leaves me telling myself, "There are no limits to what I can do" and I hope it motivates you to tell yourself the same thing! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE share this episode and spread the LOVE!

On this episode I chat with my new friend Brittney Jean! After being laid off from her tech sales job in 2017, Brittney picked up her mom's camera that was collecting dust, took a free class on how to use a camera manually, and began her photography business.

During her corporate sales job, Brittney would grow her photography business part time, until she quit in 2020 to pursue her passion of helping women in service based businesses grow their business online through personal brand photography.

Through fear, uncertainty, and the worst economic conditions, Brittney decided to not work against fear, but to work through fear to live life on her terms and become the boss of her life, time, and money! She now runs a six figure photography business helping professionals show up online to grow their impact and income.

In this episode we chat about:

  • Launching a business through the 2020 crisis
  • Building up leaders
  • Why hiring help in your business is so important
  • Using your intuition in your business
  • Why systems are important in business and life
  • Are you showing up as who you believe you are in your business and life?
  • Unpacking what God put in your heart to help you go to the next level
  • And why just doing the work is so crucial!!

Forgiveness doesn’t come naturally to anyone. Heck it didn’t come naturally for me, I didn’t even know it was the thing that was holding me back in my calling to ministry. I can say this though, the day I forgave is the day my life truly began!!

In this episode I take a deep dive into sharing a small bit of my testimony to Faith that all had to do with forgiveness! Learn the impact that unforgiveness has on your brain, body and immune system plus learn practical ways to learn to begin the forgiveness process.

Forgiveness is a way of life that Jesus calls us to live. Paul summed it up like this in Ephesians 4:31-32 where he wrote, “Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior. Instead be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another as God through Christ has forgiven you.

If this episode helped you, or encouraged you today, or you know someone that could use this message, will you please share it with someone you love.

**The biblical meaning of Joy says that: joy is a feeling of good pleasure and happiness, that is dependent on who Jesus is rather than on who we are or what is happening around us. With this definition, how can you not take responsibility of your own joy? So many people are walking around depressed, overwhelmed, anxious and fearful simply by choice. It's time to stop playing the victim card and blaming others for your lack of joy. Yes bad things happed to good people, but your response and reaction to it, is your responsibility, therefore having joy in your life is all up to you. 

In this episode, I get personal and share my own personal story of how I turned a rough time in my life into a journey for joy. It was not easy, it was a dark and depressing time in my life, but it was also where I heard God, and turned my depression into joy!**

**Let’s get real, no one wants to experience discomfort ever in their lives, it’s just part of our human nature. We enjoy being in our comfort zones and want to have control of all circumstances. 

In this episode we dive deep into Gods word and see how pain and discomfort is a part of our growth and allows us to gain perseverance. God called us to follow him, not just believe in him. To follow him we must take risk and endure some discomfort in our life.  

If you need a dose of encouragement with an added kick in the butt, then this episode is for you! Don't forget to share this episode with someone you love!**

If you were to ask me what is the one habit or exercise that can ultimately change your life, I would tell you it’s a gratitude practice. So many people are missing out on the benefits of gratitude, which may be greater than many people realize. There are so many benefits of having a daily gratitude practice for your overall health, but one of the most important impacts is what it does to our brains!

In this episode I share about the psychological, physical and social benefits of gratitude and how it literally rewires your brain in each of these areas. I nerd out just a little on the brain science behind it all!!

Here are just a few nuggets I share in this episode about what gratitude does to the brain:

  1. Gratitude wires and fires new neural connections to the bliss center.
  2. Gratitude enhances dopamine and serotonin- the neurotransmitters responsible for happiness.
  3. Gratitude reduces fear and anxiety by regulating the stress hormone.
  4. Gratitude fosters cognitive restructuring by evoking positive thinking.

Want to learn how to start this gratitude practice and learn more about the benefits of this practice? Take a listen to this episode and get all the tools you need to start now!

Do you ever find yourself questioning what your purpose is? Do you question Gods plan for your life? Well in this episode I share some great pieces of wisdom I got when it came to finding your unique purpose. When you are not finding joy in what you are doing, often times that is a cue that you are not doing what God called designed you to do.

In this episode, I give a list of great questions that will help you answer that every so challenging question, "What is my purpose?". In order to find fulfillment and joy in what you do, you must first know why and for whom you were created for. We all were created with a purpose to help and serve others, you just have to find those people and allow God to use you for his calling. This list of questions will challenge you to ask yourself, "Who am I being of service to?".

Grab a notebook and a pen because you are going to want to take notes in this quick episode. Remember, if this episode helped you, share it with a friend!

This episode was recorded simply out of obedience to a word God placed on my heart over a year ago. I knew when I wrote this word down one morning after a very vidid dream from God, that it was given to me to share. I was scared and questioned if this really was a message from God. A year later God brought it back in front of me, this time adding a little more spice to it and I knew the time to share was NOW!

This episode addresses a few challenges our nation is facing right now. One of the biggest challenges is Fake Christians. Christianity is taking a hit right now, because there are people calling themselves "Christians" who are too busy trying to win votes for candidates rather than save lives to JESUS! They have been blind by division and continue to share messages of division rather than that of unity, love or the WORD!

This message might upset some, stir a fire under others and possibly infuriate a handful. The truth hurts, and that is what is in the message.....the TRUTH! God revealed some scriptures and stories to me from the bible, that are going to either get you fired up or get your chonies in a bunch! If the chonies in a bunch is you, it's only because the truth sometimes hurts and that's OK, God needed you to hear this so HE can get HIS message through to you!

We all can use a reminder sometimes of the importance of what we as "Christians" were called to do and I think this is an episode that could do that for you. We all can do better, we all can love more, give grace more abundantly and most importantly we all can PRAY more for our nation and each other regardless which side you are on.

If this episode spoke to you and you know someone who could listen, please share! Please don't use this episode to point your finger at others or to degrade others, that's not what this episode was recorded for. God wants this message to be shared with love and compassion in that others can hear HIS word and see why we need more people sharing the gospel rather than politics!

Please remember I love you and I am praying for you!

In this episode, I am going to introduce you to a former Goal Getter Workshop student of mine Valerie Olmos. Valerie attended one of my Goal Getter Workshops back in January of 2020. When Valerie attended my workshop, she had goals to launch a sewing business and put her love for sewing and crafts to work. She wanted to teach her love of sewing to others and turn her dream into a reality of running her own small business. Valerie came eager yet timid to my workshop, she had big goals, but knew she was going to get out of her comfort zone to do it.

She made time to dream, create goals and she put in the work. She had to get comfortable being uncomfortable as she grew her business on social media…. and for an introvert it was a challenge that she slayed. Listen in to hear how Valerie got out of her comfort zone to launch her dream business!

I have a great conversation with my friend Courtney Woffinden. Courtney and I met each other selling women’s clothing and got to work together doing some photo shoots. I immediately was drawn to her huge smile and bold confidence. I’ve been following Courtney’s journey for years now and most recently was inspired by her transformation through a weight loss surgery she had. I not only was inspired by the work she put in to lose 150 lbs, but I was inspired by her ambition to not fall into the victim mindset of her health issues and past trauma. Her level of confidence was always there even before the weight loss surgery, but her confidence now after it……WOW! God is doing amazing things through her to reach others and inspire them through her story.  Listen in to her incredible story of transformation and be encouraged by her story.

What is the last goal you gave up on and why? As a Life Coach one of the common challenges I see among my clients is the fear of failure or just giving up when goals get hard. Oftentimes many people give up on a goal before even starting, because the fear of starting something new is too hard.  When we set out to achieve our goals there are going to be obstacles and challenges that are going to make it difficult, but you must look at the bigger picture. You have to embrace the challenge while you go… and grow through the challenges of reaching a goal!

This episode is packed with encouragement and inspiration to get you back on track to chasing after your goals. Consider this a conversation with your favorite Life Coach where I drop some great wisdom and motivation about not giving up

Do you ever wonder why stressful situations deplete you of energy? Or why do you tend to be forgetful about things when under stress? Well this episode will dive into all things about the brain and how our brain uses our bodies energy.

In this episode I share some interesting research I found about how our brain consumes energy and how it’s used (please see links below for where information was found). I explore just a few things we go through that might cause our brain to consume much more energy.

So what causes our brain to use additional energy? Well, here are several examples:

  1. When you are struggling with an emotional situation.
  2. When you ponder (worry) problems vs. solve the problem. This is wasted energy.
  3. Have to make difficult decisions
  4. Dealing with friend or family drama
  5. When you have to perform or be “on”.
  6. Starting or learning something new.
  7. Clutter, not having a clean environment
  8. Marital struggles
  9. Difficult career/business decisions
  10. Grief
  11. Finances/Taxes
  12. Being constantly hurried/rushed. Feeling the need to constantly be hustling.

I also discuss ways we can conserve brain energy by doing some of the following:

  1. Stay off social media. Social media can consume a lot of mixed emotions and if you are not in a good place mentally, it can negatively drain your mental energy.
  2. Ask for grace from others during this season.
  3. Stay healthy. Get lots of sleep, eat right and exercise. Don’t let your emotions derail your physical health. You need that extra energy through healthy foods, sleep and exercise to deal with the extra mental drain of brain energy.
  4. Read a book- find a book that will speak to the season you are in and read.
  5. Automate the small stuff by creating some good habits. What can you make simpler to eliminate stress…for instance meal planning.
  6. Do what brings you joy and schedule it! Make the commitment to do it weekly and do not feel guilty for the time you need.
  7. Focus on what’s important and let the rest slide.
  8. Learn to say NO!
  9. Pray & spend more time with God.
  10. Get outside! Get some vitamin d. Did you know that vitamin D acts as a neurosteroid and plays important roles in the brain. Neurosteroids help you to respond to stress, anxiety, and depression.
  11. Communicate what you need with others and ask for help.
  12. Drop the guilt. Stop worrying about showing up for everyone else and show up for yourself.

In this episode I share some thoughts about a new book I started reading for the month of April, that led me to ponder some pretty insightful thoughts. Are all things good from God?

Remember how I shared that on his platform I would be doing a mixture of teaching and preaching? Well this episode is some intense Preaching about one of my favorite bible stories.

**In this episode, I share the importance of us needing to put in the work to see a miracle happen in our lives or to see prayers answered. I share the story of the paralytic at the healing waters, and how Jesus healed him, then sent him off. This is one of my favorite bible stories, because it’s where I picture Jesus using his fatherly stern voice to get his point across to the man. The man sat by the healing waters for 38 years waiting on a miracle and gave excuses to why he wasn’t healed. This story still has so much significance to how people are living today. God works through people like you and me to answer prayers, and if we don’t do the work then we are missing out on miracles taking place.

I might have to give myself a little pat on the back for this episode, because it’s probably one of my favorites recorded so far. Get ready to hear the word of God and get some spiritual insights spoken to you!!**

I know your first response after reading this Podcast Title- "Why would you want to debunk Work, Life Balance?". I want to debunk this saying, because balancing it all, is not physically possible! The definition of balance is: an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady. On any given day, we physically cannot give an even distribution of ourselves to our work, family, friends and deal with all the responsibilities life throws our way. We must throw the search for balance out the door, and aim to be centered and learn how to focus on 3 specific areas each day in any given 24 hour period. Every area in our life can not have an even distribution of weight, as each day and every priority carries its own weight.

In this episode, I explain why this phrase and mindset need to be debunked and a new mindset of being centered needs to be adapted. I give insights on how to be centered and how to focus on key areas of your life each day. You’ll want to take some notes on this episode, so bring your notebook and a pen as you tune in!

This is a follow up episode to share all the updates on what has transpired since the last recording. There was about 3 weeks time from recording Part 1 to recording this episode. I wanted to give an update on all the things, and share the good parts of the challenges I endured along with the lessons learned. I also share a very important reminder how important it is to not give up when God has called you to something or somewhere, even when it gets challenging and you want to give up. Your faith will be tested and there will be an enemy who wants to see you fail, but you have to be ready to endure the battle for the long run. I needed that reminder, and in this episode I share how important it is to keep going even when you want to quit.

**Have you ever doubted God's calling on your life? Have you ever asked God why? Well in this episode, take a behind the scenes listen into my life and how a very challenging week led me to question what God was calling me to do. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, before my podcast even launched. I contemplated publishing this episode, however I felt there was a true lesson to be learned in this for many of us. I know that I am not alone when we question God and feel like we failed.

This episode is raw, vulnerable and literally almost got deleted! You’ll have to excuse the tears and sound quality, but just listen to what I do when faced with challenges. I wanted to share how I too have doubts, question God and oftentimes struggle with where God is taking me.**

**I also share the 3 things I do that help me to get out of my funk and help me focus more on not quitting and less focused on feeling sorry for myself. Get out the tissue box, because this episode might trigger some emotions for you, but just know it will all get better!

Don't worry, I won't leave you hanging on what happened and how everything turned out. I recorded a follow up to this episode, look for Part 2 that will follow this episode.**

Five Steps To Creating Healthy Habits

In this episode we dive into learning some healthy and motivating tips on how to help you create new habits.

We first dive into why the word “habit” has a negative definition to it, and unravel why bad habits seem easier to keep than creating new habits.

Here are some easy steps to follow when trying to create a new healthy habit:

  1. Commit: Declare the habit you want to develop and write it down as a form of commitment.
  2. State Your Why: state your motivations for developing this habit and how it will benefit you.
  3. Identify The Cue: Identify what will get your habit going every single time. List the time of day, a location, after an event/action or something else that will help cue the habit.
  4. Identify Rewards: what reward will you gain from performing this habit? Set a reward after you have performed the habit for a specified amount of time.
  5. Track & Grow: Track the days you perform the habit, and see how long it will take before it becomes automatic for you.

Creating healthy habits is key to living a joyful and successful life!

This episode is an unscripted backstory of why I launched a podcast. After procrastinating for over a year to launch this podcast, I had to finally just hit record and force myself to just take the first step.

I literally cringe at listening to this episode, but I’m putting it out there because I am working to be more vulnerable and not allow perfectionism to stall me from achieving my goals. As a true type A personality of needing to have plan A-Z completed before starting anything, I am learning to step away from that control and step into faith to do things. So rather than having a clear plan for this podcast, hitting record with no script or plan just made sense.

So sit back and enjoy my first episode…unscripted as you listen to why I launched a podcast and how I just needed to take my first step.
