Adulting has its own challenges, but when you have childhood trauma rearing it’s ugly head along the way with issues you may have faced, it can alter who you are, and how you function in EVERYDAY life. Let’s learn how to peel back the layers and win against what attempts to keep you bound by talking it out, walking it out, and applying biblical principles. Let’s win!!
Any time we take a trip, no matter the distance, we have a checklist of things that we know we may need along the way. Or, we have already planned our gas station stop to pick up last minute snacks. It makes me wonder, are we making sure to take what we need when we know we are taking the necessary time to do some internal work. Did we grab some tissues for tears, some books to build ourselves up, or schedule in a space or two of quiet time? Do we make sure we have a notepad and pen so we will be ready to take down our God whispers as He speaks? Well, if you haven't - its okay....tune in to find out some items that you can take along the way-
It's easy to want to hold on to the things that we have faced in life, even when they have seemed to stunt our growth along the way. As a matter of fact, when you carry them long enough, letting go becomes a difficult task. You already feel like something was taken away from you - shouldn't it be your choice when to toss it aside. All of this is truth, but the cost you pay in carrying weighted experiences are more detrimental than you care to believe. Today is a good day to let it go. Tap into today's episode to find out how-
No matter what we examine in life, everything has its own process of growth. What I have found is that oftentimes individuals extend grace to everyone else but themselves. We know that there are bumps in the life that we don't plan for, or difficult situations we wish we could go back in time to change. I encourage you not to get caught up in the would've, should've, or could've in life - they are crippling to say the least. Go just as hard for yourself as you would for so many others, and give yourself grace-
I'm sure I am not alone when it comes to goal setting. But there is nothing more frustrating than finding an old goal on a vision board or nestled in the pages of an old journal that you never started working on. Have you ever thought about why you never started? Now let me clear something up. These are not bucket list goals. These are the goals that you set that strengthen your character, build your business, or add value to what you already provide. So many things can intersect and become a distraction. This episode will help you to see where you are in the journey so you can pick right up from right where you are right now.
Sometimes thinking about how much you have to get done can keep you from getting started on doing anything at all. This can go for any area in life....financial goals, house chores, fitness goals - just to name a few. But when you think of how much work will need to be done if you continue stalling, or when you consider the continual decline in the area you are doing your best to ignore - this can spring you into action. We are an ongoing work in progress and today's the best day possible for you to begin doing the necessary work-
If I were to take a poll I believe that many people would identify that life just keeps going on, and sometimes it seems to be moving on without you. It sounds strange to say, yet how often do you personally take the time to check in on yourself? It becomes second nature to make sure everyone else has what they need, and sometimes we stand as hitchhikers waiting on someone to asks how you are. And this doesn't mean that you are needy. This episode will encourage you to be sure to check in on you and this includes ALL OF THE FEELS.....let's talk about it-
Have you ever felt tired just thinking about the journey ahead? I mean...you know you needed to get to a set place, but you have no unction to even get started. You start thinking about what you have to take, will you go alone, or what you will need to do when you get there. Let's pump the breaks. What's most important is that you have to get started - there is no question in that. Today's podcast helps you to get started with victory in mind. I want to encourage you that regardless of what you may face along the way, rest assured - YOU WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone starting out on a journey has to at least decide to begin. Yet if you stop to consider the highs, lows, and in between strides you may need to take along the way - you may never make the decision to start. This does not mean you haphazardly make moves in life without counting up the cost. Every journey allows you to plant your feet (even if its subliminal) somewhere as a starting point. This podcast holds the key for you to accelerate your journey to TOTAL freedom.....mind, body, and soul!! This is not just for those who are beginning, but this key propels you in your healing journey to wholeness, every step of the way. Ready, set................
There are so many things that we have hopes for, yet so often when you have encountered bad life experiences there is a question of whether or not the future has a glimpse of a long-standing good for you. It may not be spoken aloud, but if we are not careful, we forget to anticipate what's to come. Get ready.....joy is coming!!
The hardest thing about life sometimes is recognizing that there are some parts of life that you just can't take an eraser to. This is truthful for issues brought on by others, or the issues brought on by yourself. Either way the tables turn, they can both impose unwanted pain. What if I told you that there is a way to make pain pay? Listen in to find out how-
Anytime you find yourself in a place where you have faced hardship, it's not uncommon to feel less empowered because of what you have endured. This episode will allow you to determine if you have allowed yourself to undermine the greatness of who you were created to be. After listening to this episode you will be able to rightly appropriate who you are by WHOSE you are and reposition yourself to know that you are not negatively defined by what you have encountered.
The journey to becoming better can begin with shaking legs, but you start with your goal in mind. This is where our confidence to start begins. However, discouragement can begin to whittle away at your journey when distractions show up. Especially when you have given yourself a “set time” to get there. Today’s podcast will breathe a bit of fresh air to encourage you just as the title says….to make it!!! Keep your goal in mind and God as your Source.

Have you ever wondered why you keep getting connected in questionable relationships? Or you just keep experiencing the same outcomes? Today's podcast helps you to identify three integral components so that you can do a personal assessment. This assessment won't just be for checking on who you connect with, but it will also help you to identify if you are prepared yourself for what you are searching for.
The confidence we possess within ourselves shapes who we present to the world, and when WE are not okay - everyone else recognizes it. Through the empowering scriptures offered in this podcast and practical applications to walk out your healing journey, your perception about yourself will change. I encourage you to look again. There is life beyond what you have experienced!!
The title of this episode speaks for itself. We can display what we want when we are in the presence of others, but what happens in our alone time speaks volumes. During this podcast you can identify if there are any bumps in the road that you can work on by the words that you speak.
Last week started us on a journey of importance in acknowledging our identity. It goes without saying that this attribute alone helps to determine how we will respond to life as a whole. Aligning this area of life will aid in restructuring the very essence of our being. This alignment will plant our internal feet of faith on solid ground to be able to take ongoing necessary steps to live a life of wholeness internally and externally.

Taking steps to recover begins with knowing who you are internally. You can be bandaged and bruised on the outside, or just the opposite - you couldbe nicely put together with no wound at all. What keeps you going with victory in sight is what you believe about yourself. This will keep you going in spite of what you or others may see. This episode will allow you to take an introspective look at yourself in gaining a true identity, or to build upon where you are.
Life happens to everyone. No matter how muddy the waters appear, we have to keep going. Let’s find out how-
