S2 E6| Use Your Voice

I’ll come right out with it.  Today is about how to navigate when people are talking about you.  I think we all deep down want to be like and accepted, no one wants to be judged and discussed. But it doesn't changed the fact that it hurts.  And it's hard.  Today I'm sharing a bit of my own personal reflection of how I've navigated being the subject of commentary for some time, the mistakes I made in handling it in the past, and the shifts and changes I've made to navigate in this season a healthier way.  So much of it is ultimately beyond our control,  but we can always control how we respond and the routes we take regardless.   Outro Song- Lorde "A World Alone" 2013 Universal Music NZ Ltd

You hear this word more these days more than maybe you hear a lot of words, and rightfully so. Life continues to become increasingly more tense and burdensome, and it is only natural that worry and anxiety would follow.  By no means today is it my goal to offer clinical counsel, but I do feel an urgent need to share my own personal story + experience when it comes to combatting anxiety.  No matter where you're finding yourself today on this journey, I truly believe freedom is possible. I never believed it, until I experienced it for myself....

I talk to so many people who say they KNOW they need to start using their voice more, but don't! Why are we so afraid to speak our minds, share our thoughts and let our unique voices be heard?  Well... I'm sure for many reasons, past experiences, fear of judgement, etc. On today's episode I'll be helping you understand how to use your voice + also discuss a few ways you may be hurting your ability to use your voice.  We're here for a short time people. Time to use the voice you were given to reach those you were meant to impact.

We've talked before about when to knowledge the timing of making the next bold move- But today's episode is for those who know THEY KNOW they're in the season of bold moves! I believe there's a 3 step process for making it happen for this next season, and I don't think you can skip over them either. All 3 are required for what's about to take place for you in your growth journey these next 3 months. In today's episode I'll be talking about how to step up, stand out & how to step forward boldly so that you can experience all that has God in store for you.

Have you ever caught yourself searching for the next thing? Perhaps you're there now, frantically feeling the pressure of the endless pursuit of "the next thing" phenomenon.  Our culture is obsessed with keeping up with others out of fear we may fall behind, and if we aren't careful, this hamster wheel to nowhere will rob us of our present day joy in the work we're doing.  Today I'm sharing my first hand experience in navigating the hardships of my own endless chasing, but also the lessons and freedoms I've experienced since discovering the secret- that the next thing, is truly right NOW.

Today, we're going there We have electric cars, working on travel to mars and AI generated renderings of my kids who haven't been born yet,  But for whatever reason, we can't seem to evolve out of the mean girls phenomenon.  It's a topic that I feel has been danced around long enough, and due in part by the massive amounts of those asking for advice around this very topic, I figured, enough with the dancing.  Time to cut straight to it- calling out the mean girl spirit so that ultimately we can end this cycle once and for all.  If you came for tea, well hon, I'm afraid you might be part of the problem.  But hopefully- by the end of the episode, you'll be a part of the solution....   

Do you feel you've been in your comfort zone a little too long? Do you feel like you're holding yourself back?  Do you know the difference between when your comfort zone is serving you or harming you? On Today's episode we'll talk about discerning our comfort zone.  We'll talk through how to know when it's serving you and how to know when you've made camp in a place it's time to move beyond. And if and when it's time to move beyond it, how to step up and step out to fully owning what gods called you to do.

It seems to be the season of holding ourselves back. Maybe out of fear of what others think or maybe not having all the steps to feel ready. Maybe it's imposter syndrome or feeling unqualified to pursue the thing we feel called to do.  It's not going away. The longing.  The deep knowing. A sense that we were meant for more. And yet, we, not anyone else, keep stopping ourselves right in our tracks.  Maybe it's not a hater. Or a skill. Or the time Maybe, the thing, the only person stopping you, is you.  And maybe, just maybe it's time to let all that noise between your ears go.Maybe it's time to step up and step out. Maybe, today, enough is enough
