It would be easy to be discouraged by all the sadness and unrest in our world today, but instead, how can we show up and bring joy?
Here are my tips!
I can't wait to hear what you think!
Living fulfilled means embracing the flow, trusting in God's timing, and knowing that every second is a chance to get it right.
I'd love to hear how this applies to you!

Change can be scary, overwhelming, nerve wracking....
and fulfilling!
I personally am making a BIG change in my career--- while my mission remains the same: to help women live a life that is fulfilled, the tools are changing.
Listen in to hear about my change and how I'm leaning on faith to embrace the journey!
Are you preparing for a change? How can I pray for you?
Today's motivation comes from the bible verse Esther 4:14 that says "perhaps you were born for such a time as this"
Some translations say, "perhaps this is the moment for which you were created"
How can we change the way we go about each moment of each day, knowing that we were created for these very times?
I pray this helps you kick the week off on a positive note and inspires you to GET FULFILLED!
Love it? can you go ahead and give us a review wherever you listen to podcasts? That way you can help spread our mission!

See you next week.
PS_ how can I encourage you this week?
We're kicking off a series of 5 minute motivation episodes meant to hype you up! My prayer is that these little nuggets will help you to start your day off on the right note, or maybe they will serve as the thing that turns your day around when you're feeling less than fulfilled!
Let's dream together--- where will you be one year from now?
I can't wait to hear what you come up with and then go after!

Do you struggle with this too?
Hope it helps!
Do you hold yourself back just because you don't know how things will turn out?
Fear of failure? Perfectionist tendencies? Looking for that crystal ball?
It's time to stop.
Listen in for how I used to do this and how I have changed!

What you seek, you shall find. So--- want to find the good? Start looking for it!

Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest - Matthew 11:28
Are you being called to a season of rest? I don't rest well, but the Lord has made it clear that I should! Here are my tips for embracing this season of rest.
People will be impacted by how you show up and how you act, more than what you say.
You wont make an impact on the world simply by what you tell people to do... but by what you show them!
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
~ John 8:12
hey friend, are you evolving or are you stuck? Gosh, I could make this a whole series of episodes. BUT for now, listen in and reflect.
Are you where you were 10 years ago?
Have you changed for the better?
Are you surrounding yourself with people who help you level up?
Journal this out. Send me a message on IG @chrisanthi_finn and let me know how you're showing up today, how you're encouraging others and how you're living out your values
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Friend, we're picking back up with the topic of being called vs qualified and its a fiery one!!! I am so excited to share my thoughts and testimony behind the idea that the only one who can qualify us, is God!!!
Psalm 139:16 says, all my days were written in your book and planned before a single one of them began.
Friend, God is the author, you're just showing up and playing the part he gave you. Don't hold back!!!

Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10 (NAS) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

Ephesians 2:10 (MSG) No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up

I am SO excited to have my very first guest on the podcast.
Heather Shriver Burns is the founder of Seek First CEO: Mindset and Heartset for the Christian Female Entrepreneur. She is a certified master neuro coach and multipassionate entrepreneur.
Heather and I were connected a few months ago by a mutual friend and I have not a doubt in my mind that God’s hand was all over that introduction. She is not only an inspiration in the entrepreneurial space but in my faith walk as well. I am so honored to have her as a guest on the show and cannot wait to hear how these words touch your heart today.
Pottery reference:
Kintsugi, also known as kintsukuroi, is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum; the method is similar to the maki-e technique
Verses referred to
Ephesians 2:10
Matthew 6:33
Psalm 46:10

Isaiah 43:19
For I am about to do something new.
See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?
I will make a pathway through the wilderness.
I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
Friend, do you ever have flashbacks to who you were and cringe at some of your less than stellar moments? Same... but today, God stopped me dead in my tracks and made me flip the script!
He is doing a new thing.
He doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called. So if you ever doubt yourself or feel held back by your past, know that He is at work within you. You are defined by God alone.
2 Corinthians 5:17 therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and the see new has come!

If you are anything like me, rest is a foreign word. I am a DO-er. Always on the go, always ready to get things done. I thrive on BUSY--- or do I?
I think so many of us wear busy as a badge of honor when in reality, the Lord created us to need rest!
Matthew 11:28 Come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest
Exodus 14:14 The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.
Friend listen to these tips today and allow yourself time to rest!
Let me know what you try!

Let's face it, life can be tough sometimes. God never said that it would be easy, right? So how do you keep your head up when things hit the fan, how can you possibly live fulfilled when life is falling apart!?
Today's episode is leaving me feeling extra vulnerable as I share some things we're navigating and how I'm clinging to my faith to help me stay fulfilled amidst the hard (and honestly, kind of sucky) stuff!
Romans 8:28 I totally said it was John in the episode--- whoops..... says in all things God works for the good of those who love him.
The passion translation says So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose.
What's going on in your life? How are you clinging to your faith?
Did this episode inspire you? I'd love to hear from you.
ALSO! BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

we are too easily satisfied. we are able to be satisfied with conditions that are way less than God’s design for us or what grace now makes possible for us. We are often okay with living with things that are not the way they were meant to be
-paul david tripp
john 10:10
Jesus came to bring us LIFE and that it would be experienced abundantly
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
Psalm 133:1
Living a life that is fulfilled means you are satisfied or happy because of fully developing your abilities or character.
Serving in your community helps you to live a life rooted in God's calling to live together in unity.
Listen for ways you can show up and serve in your community to make an impact.
Friend, I pray that this week you will seek to live out your purpose each and every day.
Recently I took the spritual giftings test and I just loved it!
Take it @ giftstest.com
I'd love to hear what your gifts are!
Have you ever listened to a podcast and thought---I should do that!
I know I did! For far too long before I finally took the leap.
My gosh, whatever reason you have for wanting to get your voice out there, I say, GO FOR IT!
I love that God has gifted me with the ability and desire to speak encouragement over others and I love that we have this outlet for good!
Listen in as I talk with my good friends Farin and Rachel, who also have their own podcasts! It's been so cool to see these ladies, who I work with in my coaching business, step into their voice and create their own platform for good!

Remember that our main mission is to live a life that is FULFILLED. So why do we settle for anything less? Let's dive into what it looks like to have a growth mindset vs a fixed mindset. It's time to step into your purpose and live a life that is fulfilled!!!
Where do you put your energy? Are you placing your worth on what the world says about you? What if, we focused on the impact we make in our own home, first.
What do you think?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode.
Have a suggestion for an upcoming topic, leave a comment!
let's get fulfilled!!
We've all heard that we should CHOOSE joy--- but what about when joy isn't always an obvious option?
Romans 15:13 says
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit Romans 15:13"
So, I believe that we can SEEK it out, we can CHASE it, we can ask God to fill us with JOY, so that we can then spread it for others.
What do you think?
We remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for the impact that he made on the world.
As he said, "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."
So friend, take that first step, because YOU have the potential to make an impact too.
You can find countless tips on a morning routine, but what about how we end the day!?
I'd argue to say its just as important.
So lets #finishfulfilled together
- stretch
- say
- sleep

Do you ever set a goal to find that you only end up quitting on yourself?
Why do we do that?
Let's break down why we quit and how to change that.
Who are you showing up for? The masses, or the people who matter most?
Reality check, friend!
Ephesians 5:15-16 So be careful how you live; be mindful of your steps. Make the most of every living and breathing moment because these are evil times.

Let s be intentional with the real person we wake up as and the real person we go to bed as.
This episode is 100 percent a call from God to be transparent and vulnerable. Growing my relationship with the Lord has been a HUGE part of my journey toward fulfillment. Listen in to hear a bit of my story AND my tips for how you can hear God too! (sound crazy? good! it did to me at first too!)
What is holding you back?
What is it that you WANT to do but don't…
- clothes
- fitness
- diet
- new job
- hobby
fear of what if
what about fear of what happens if you don't!
How does this resonate with you?
how do you measure yourself?
scale
trophy
accolades
rank
popularity
likes
clean house
outward things that are a distraction from the enemy
acts 5:29 we must obey god rather than human beings
Galatians 5:22-23But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
if it steals your joy, that is not success
find the joy in the work
find the joy in the mundane
celebrate your success in living a life that is joyful and fulfilled
Questions for each day
1. did I bring joy
-
did I give my work my all
-
did I make someone smile
-
did I serve others
-
did I work on myself
We're living a life where instant gratification has become the expectation--- spoiler alert, friend, that won't lead to fulfillment!
Friend, the last thing I want you to do is live life on auto-pilot. There is no fulfillment in that.
Where can you give a little more, to feel more fulfilled?
Listen and leave a review! I'd LOVE to hear from you.
