Confidence is a skill. Our human nature makes it so easy for us to let life experiences chip away at any confidence we've built. We often focus on the negative and put ourselves down to a level we would never let our friends sink to. Ceri Payne is speaking with us today about some really practical ways that we can practice confidence. If you are afraid of being confident, because you don't want to appear conceded...well don't worry...we are talking about that too.  Let's all work harder this week to pay attention to how we are speaking to ourselves...and change the playlist.

Tawni is sharing a story about how a quiet plane ride lullaby, has stuck with her for years. A nearby passenger heard her singing the children's song "I Am a Child of God", and was so touched and had never heard it before. Knowing this truth....that you are God's child, and that he loves you can change everything. Really knowing it. Your knowledge of your TRUE divine identity protects you from the influences trying to prove to you otherwise. The entire world will try to bring your sense of identity crashing down, but with God as your anchor you will never be torn down.

THE MOON IS ROUND... This phrase has become a life moto for Tawni.  In this episode she will explain what this means and why it's become so important to her. We’ve all seen the moon in its full and beautiful glory, but there are times when the shadows of life only allow you to see a sliver of the moon. In those desperate and hard times you may wonder if the moon is still in fact round.  Sometimes you might question if the full light is still there.  But I’m here to tell you- if you remain faithful, patient, and steadfast, the moon will absolutely show its magnificence again (every 29.5 days to be exact).  You see, it was always there, fully round the entire time! It was your perspective from where you were that made it seem less than.  God is ALWAYS there for us. “I will never leave you comfortless, I will come to you.” 

Tawni is a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach. This journey to learning the power of strengths has taken over 2 years now...but now with some incredible new insights from her certification she is sharing the power of how learning your strengths! One of the greatest gifts of knowing your strengths is the ability to free you from comparing! Comparison is the thief of joy. This episode will give you some incredible examples of how you can make this a reality for you!   To work with Tawni click here. Visit our website or follow us on instagram @becomingpodcast  

ENCORE EPISODE originally aired April 2020 The loss of a parent is an experience that most of us cannot imagine. We were so blessed when an incredible teen named Sam Johnson reached out to share his story of growing up with a mother who was diagnosed with M.S. before he was born, was physically impaired for most of his life, and passed away this last year. We were blown away with the positivity and perspective that Sam clearly learned from his mother who lived a beautiful and full life. Sam found so many life lessons from his mother, his family, and friends as he went through an unthinkable life challenge in his young life. As we listened to his story it just drove home how our attitude and our gratitude is so important as we journey through this life.

ENCORE EPISODE: Originally Aired  March 2019 Heartbreak from loss, or whatever hard circumstance you are dealing with, can cause your world to crumble all around you.  Tawni interviewed the incredible Natalie Norton who has a complete understanding of what this looks and feels like. This amazing interview was so touching and enlightening that we had to bring it back for an ENCORE. (The episode was split into 2 episodes, but we've put it all back together for you...you might still hear some references to part 1 and 2). You will be given 5 tangible ways to be able to face the next day and find a way to your new normal. We also talk about how to deal with feelings of blame or anger towards others, but more specifically towards God.  This interview has the ability to change the lives of those who are going through devastation. Please share it with anyone you know that is struggling. We love you and we are all in this together. We want to provide all of the love and support that we can.  Show Up with Natalie Norton Podcast Instagram: @natalienorton   Visit our website or follow us on instagram @becomingpodcast
