To Help You Heal

Have you ever felt derailed by negative feedback, especially from friends or family questioning your purpose? How do you navigate their criticism without losing sight of your path? Do you end up asking yourself whether or not you heard God correctly? Does their criticism belong in your head? Join me this week as we discuss these questions (and more)! 

Sometimes, we don't have a clearly defined sense of purpose; we can feel lost in it. If you're feeling lost right now, it's okay; there's nothing wrong with you. Take the weight and pressure off your shoulders. You haven't missed it, and now, you have an opportunity to figure out what's next. It's time for a new adventure. Spend ten minutes with me as we dive into purpose. 

Last week, we set the foundation for loving our lives despite our circumstances, and we will build on it this week. It's a choice to say, "I have the ability to love my life even if these things I want don't happen," because, for many of us, life isn't going to read like the story we thought we were writing. But it can still feel amazing. We can still find joy. We can say, with complete authenticity, "I love my life." Spend the next ten minutes with me, and I'll share what I've found.

If we want to love our lives despite circumstances, we must start by admitting that we don't love everything we've walked through. It's okay to say, "God, I don't love this right now, this isn't the life I thought I was supposed to live." And as we admit the reality of how we feel, it opens the door so we can ask Him to help us see more than just the hardship. And that's where loving our lives is birthed from—owning it and looking for more.

Whatever I'm looking for is what I'm going to find. And sometimes, the hard things take center stage. So when I'm looking at them, fixed on them, I start expecting more challenging days. This belief interferes with my ability to believe that God has good in store for me. But it doesn't mean that God isn't doing the good; it's just that I can't see it because I almost don't believe it exists.  Spend ten minutes with me discussing the simple steps necessary to shift our mindset and SEE the good. 

There are times in our lives when it feels like there aren't any good choices. There are no win-win situations; instead, we must determine the least destructive option because either choice will cost something. 
So what do we do, and how do we choose? Spend 10 minutes with me this week. I will walk you through my thought process, and we will talk about perfectionism, comparison, and how to banish the victim mentality. 

Boundaries are a good thing. They offer protection, and we all need them. But sometimes, the boundaries I need most are with myself, so I don't take on responsibilities that are not mine to carry. In this episode, we're talking about boundaries (with ourselves and others) and what to do if we realize we've created a boundary between us and God.

The way we do, or do not, love ourselves impacts all our relationships, including our relationship with God. So let's start with this question: "Do I love myself?" And maybe that feels vague, so let's ask it this way: "What does it look like to love myself?"

In this episode we'll talk about how to set ourselves up so we can hear God. We'll silence the noise in our head, push away the self-doubt, and grow in our relationship with Him. The first step is believing that he wants to talk to us. And this belief comes on the backside of all the mindset work we've done. Because if we don't believe he wants to talk to us, it's going to be very hard to hear him. Join me for another ten minute conversation.

When we begin to acknowledge the good inside of us it increases our self-confidence. (And this begins a domino effect of good things!) Self-confidence is tied to an increase in motivation and resilience, as well as a decrease in comparison, insecurity, and anxiety.  In this episode, we're talking about how to increase our sense of self worth, and some simple steps that will help you highlight the good inside of you.
