Warning - this episode has come across very muffled and we apologise for this - we are working to rectify it. But you may choose to listen to another, earlier episode.Has life been crazy busy with lots of activity both in business and in your personal life or do you feel like you are in a season of transition and you are wanting to offload lots of things that no longer seem to fit? If you are a woman in business you will understand that we go through seasons and even though it may sound crazy you can be going through one season in business and a completely different one in your personal life.In this episode Chris brings a discussion she had with the group of ladies she got together with at a recent Chapter 31 coffee morning - you can hear more about these here. Chris presented a talk with the same title of this podcast and then invited discussion - I am sure that everyone will benefit from listening to this. So grab yourself a cuppa and settle in for an insightful chat about "What Season You Are In"View more about Chapter 31 here

Chris introduces the topic that Chapter 31 is focusing on this year - Shining in every area of your life. It is based on Matthew 5:14-16 We juggle many areas as women so we are really zeroing in  on each area that we manage, our personal lives, our home life and our businesses. Each area needs to be balanced but it takes discipline to keep it so.If you want to access the workbook that I mention, please email Chris at [email protected] you want to know more about chapter 31 then you can find the webpage here .

2026 has arrived and I am sure many of us are back into the swing of things but I want to recommend that January is always a good time to reassess a few things. What's working and what's not working, because things don't stay the same. In fact life can change in a moment and all of a sudden our previous way of doing things no longer works - so time to re-evaluate!I refer to the podcast where I interviewed Lee-Anne Munro regarding Seasons so here's the linkAnd if you would like to know what's going on you can see the website here and if you want to chat with me then email me at [email protected] Happy New Year!! - Hope your 2026 is amazing!!

Being busy is the response many of us give when we are asked how we are going - it's almost as if we wear a badge of honour when we are busy - but I think a life of busyness for busyness sake is not necessarily a productive or fulfilled life. I am not talking about that - in this podcast I am talking about how to rest and recover after a particular busy season and how to respond so that you can feel refreshed and ready to re-emerge.I would love to hear your comments so please email me at [email protected] and if you want to know more about our group then you can have a look here.

In this episode Chris explains how important it is to include the Holy Spirit in your everyday life and business. He is such a perfect helper and knows everything about us and our lives.

He will change your life.If you want to receive a copy of my book then you can get that here or email me and I can bring you a copy to the next Chapter 31 event/coffee morning and if you want to know more about Chapter 31 or become part of the group them take a look here
