34 | Exhausted & Overwhelmed & Burnt Out From 2024- Find Out How You Can Finish S.T.R.O.N.G. Without Any Of Those Feelings

How in the hee haw are we here already?! The last quarter of the year is upon us. Cue all the holiday stress, obligations, parties, hosting, running around etc…. But what if this year was different? What if you chose to have a different perspective on what finishing strong meant?!  
 
When we can be intentional in choosing how we show up in the last three months of the year I believe that we can accomplish so much more- not by doing more, but by simply being! The more will come, from our source, Jesus. In our being and becoming He shows off in our weaknesses and shortcomings.

33 | Motherhood Mini-Series Part 3: Four Ways to Embrace Various Seasons of Motherhood

The days are long but the years are short. Time flies when you are raising children, like so fast, right?! I know that as a mama you want to soak up every moment that you can and maybe even the thought of being intentional can overwhelm you. I want you to release any negative feelings that you may be carrying and realize the amazing job you are doing! 
 
We are talking about different ways to embrace the seasons we will go through in our motherhood and how to “grow in character daily”. I hope that as this series comes to a close you have been able to release or begin to heal from a past hurt, grow in your confidence and look forward to enjoying your seasons of motherhood because it is a gift!

32 | Motherhood Mini-Series Part 2: 3 Areas to Consider In Developing Lasting Confidence As A Mom

We are back for Part 2 of the Motherhood Series and talking about all things CONFIDENCE. Where does it ultimately come from and how can we continue to develop it as our Motherhood progresses. So many of us don’t even like to admit this is an area we need help with and in choosing that we will remain in feelings of frustration, exhaustion and isolation. 
 
I read a quote that says “I will not waste today believing things you did not say” and I believe that so many of us can relate with allowing the lies or fears as moms rule our minds. But not anymore, after this episode I hope that you can put into practice some of the tools shared as you remain on your Journey to Becoming and how putting yourself first is essential to remaining confident in your Mom Life Era. 
 
Remember that you are not alone and you are worth the work!

31 | Motherhood Mini-Series Part 1: Healing From The Hurt So You Can Pass The Blessings Down

Motherhood- the craziest hood out there!  This episode is the beginning of a mini-series on Motherhood and I wanted to start off with how important it is to stay committed to your healing. Jesus may be in your heart, but Grandpa is still in your bones meaning that past trauma- if not dealt with will continue to transfer through your lineage, if you aren’t willing to do something about it. 
 
If you are familiar with the term “stronghold”, all families have them, it’s something that has a “strong hold” that may have lasted for generations such as addiction, abuse, anger, and in my family… suicide. 
 
I had to come to terms with the fact that I will need to heal from the lack mentality that showed up in my life that was caused by my mother taking her life. In order for me to pass down blessings to my children and future legacy, I will have to stay committed to allow God to heal my life so that I can be that cycle breaker. Let’s be the ones who stay committed to our healing!

30 | Unlocking the Power of Endurance from Life’s Setbacks- Turning Your Pain Into Purpose

Today I wanted to share a little more of my story with you and the significance of this new month we are stepping into. Hello, September- it has been one of high-highs and low-lows from my birthday & wedding anniversary and also the tragic loss of my brother. Who you surround yourself with in life matters, especially when you are on your healing journey. 
 
No matter what type of loss or trial you may have experienced or are currently facing- culture can tell us something completely different than what God’s word does. God reminds us in His word that when we go through trials and are tested that when we have the right perspective our endurance will grow and we will lack nothing.
 
It’s one thing to read those words and be encouraged when everything is going well, and it is another thing to have to live those words out. Isolation, fear and doubt will always try to get the best of you, but we serve a God that has promised us everything in abundance and more than we can expect. I hope that you find comfort in that truth today!

25 | Time Management Tips for the Busy Woman Who is Sick of Hiding Behind The Excuse “I need more time”

Listen friend, we have all said those infamous words “I’m just so busy”, “ I have no time” or “ I need to have better time management”...but have we really done anything about it?! Saying this with love and speaking from experience because this was something I had to take responsibility for as well.
 
The reality is that managing our time will be something that we will be constantly doing because life happens, seasons change and we are always in that process of becoming. As you listen I want you to take responsibility for the area(s) that you know need to change for the better. I believe that once you do, it will become a domino effect that over time will lead to huge results in your life! 
 
I pray this blesses you,
