This episode dives into three more strategies which Galey implements on the regular in order to function as her highest level.

As we celebrate the Fourth of July, Galey reminds the listeners that this initial independence did not extend to all people. She discusses how one man, Martin Luther King, was unwilling to put up with a life which resulted in death and misery. With this example, Galey hopes to encourage you to one: be grateful for your independence and two: stop playing the blame game. We may not be able to control what we were born into; however, we have a major role in what we do about it. If you want to be healthier, change your diet and exercise more. If you want financial freedom, start saving money and budgeting. It is time to take action.

It is easy to show up as your best when life is good but who are you when things fall apart? In this week’s solo episode Galey uses her water-bottle as an analogy to describe the purpose behind times where we feel broken. When things break down in our life, the innermost parts of ourselves rise to the surface. We are forced to face ourselves, our coping mechanisms, our own dirt. In seasons where things don’t feel “put-together”, their is a beautiful opportunity for deep cleaning and refinement. However, you must be willing. Willing to face your struggles. Willing to get into action and work through them. It is not fun or easy but it is worth it. Be encouraged today that nothing is too broken or too grimy for God. You are capable.
