Hey Friend,

Each of us has a story to tell. In fact, if we have lived a hot minute, we have many stories. Some are big; these are the stories that had significant impact on our lives. These are often stories that involve pain and in many cases it is important to wait until the emotional open wounds have scars before we can tell them.

There are other stories, too. Some are micro-stories that pull at the thread of the big story without telling it. Other stories are more anecdotal, maybe sweet memories of our lives that we have held on to.

The problem is not that you don’t have a story. The problem may be that you don’t see the value in your story, or you don’t know how to tell it, or it isn’t time.

In today’s episode, I am going to share a simple way to tell your story that glorifies God and blesses others. And because that is the emphasis, it removes the pressure for you to include all of the gory details, which we tend to get bogged down with.

I pray this blesses you!

Hey, Friend!

Have you ever heard that 20% of the people do 80% of the work?

Or that 20% of employees do 80% of the complaining?

Do you ever get so hung up on the 20% missing in your life or relationships that you have a hard time enjoying the 80% that is wonderful?

Do you spend 80% of your time on tasks so that you can check a lot of things off your list, but you ignore the 20% of tasks that would bring the greatest outcome?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then this episode is for you!

I pray it blesses you,

Hey, Friend!

Have you seen those social media posts where someone is introducing themselves to the world, and they say something like: “Hi, I’m Sally. I’m a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a Christian, and a teacher” - basically listing titles, roles and responsibilities.

In today’s episode, we are going to look at the dangers of placing our identity in titles, roles, and responsibilities, and what happens when those are stripped away.

I even share the secret to finding your true identity. It’s worth a listen.

I pray it blesses you!

Hey Friend!

Boy, has it taken me a long time to learn how to grieve. Yet, it has been one of the most important lessons I have ever learned.

In today’s episode, I share some personal stories about my journey with Grief. Whenever there is a loss of any kind, Grief moves in to take its place. When Grief moves in, she will demand your attention at the most inopportune times, until you take the time to acknowledge her presence and spend some time with her.

If, like me, you have struggled to grieve, to understand the importance of Grief, and to respect her purpose and follow her process, give this episode a listen and let me know what you think!

I pray this blesses you!

Hey, friend!

In this episode, which is the final episode of a four part series called Master Your Mindset, I challenge your Limiting Beliefs, those beliefs you have about yourself and others that keep you stuck where you are, while you secretly long to be somewhere else.

Like the other mindset blocks, Limiting Beliefs are based on fear and I, for one, am tired of giving fear so much power over my life.

So, I have shared four questions you can ask yourself to challenge those Limiting Beliefs. Once you do, let me know how it goes!

I pray this blesses you,

Hey, Friend!

When I was a child, my parents used the words: lying, fibbing, and story-telling interchangeably. Actually, they rarely used the word “lying” but I do remember them asking, “Are you telling a story?” To them, that meant the same thing.

But what I am referring to, here, is the need to create an opinion about an event, a situation or an event, a quick story in my head based on my beliefs and past experiences, a story that I believe to be true, but is probably not.

In today’s episode, I am going to show you how to tame the need to make up a story in your head that is probably based on a lot of fear and a little data.

I hope you give it a listen and then that you try the 4 steps I share with you.

I pray this blesses you!

Hey, Friend!

How often do you jump to conclusions, making assumptions about another’s behavior and the intentions behind that behavior?

What would it look like if, instead, you got curious?

In today’s episode, I am going to share why we make assumptions in the first place, and the damage we cause by doing so.

Then I am going to give you 3 Steps to Unraveling Your Assumptions.

Give it a listen. Then, give it a try and then let me know how it is working for you.

I pray this blesses you!

Hey, Friend!

Is your Inner Critic the boss of you? Have you given your Inner Critic the agency to tell you what to do and not do? What is the message of your Inner Critic?

The message of my Inner Critic is one of fear. For too many years, I paid too much attention to my Inner Critic. In her attempt to keep me safe, she also kept me small and insignificant.

In today’s episode, I will share my three-step process to put your Inner Critic in her place, so that she continues to keep you safe, but does not prevent you from taking risks in your life and work, from learning and growing or from having new experiences.

It began when I gave my Inner Critic a name, to separate her from me so that instead of being controlled by my Inner Critic, I became someone who listens to my Inner Critic when I need to be safe.

So, give your Inner Critic a name and hop on over and listen to this episode to learn the three steps.

I pray this blesses you!
