Episode 74: Embracing the PROCESS of Refinement

You often hear the phrase “trust the process,” and while it’s a cliché term, it is an important reminder to surrender. We often tend to get frantic about the things that aren’t happening as quickly as we would like them to be. However, this act of doing the opposite of trusting the process usually ends up badly for us. This leads to a pattern of obsessive behavior that does more damage than good. So, how do we break this cycle? How do we learn to surrender to the process of refinement in our lives? In this episode, I will be sharing a story of a recent lesson I have learned about trusting the process and how you can do the same in your life today.

Listen in as I explain how to gain more spiritual maturity through obedience and how this trust in God will always lead to extraordinary things. You will learn the importance of practicing gratitude, how to recognize what you’re being called to do, and the importance of embracing every season of your...

Episode 73: How To Let Go of Your People Pleasing Tendencies

People pleasing might not sound like the worst thing. What is wrong with being nice to people in the hopes of making them happy, right? Unfortunately, people pleasing tends to go beyond simply being kind. You may go out of your way to do things for the people in your life based on what you think they want or need, and in turn, you give up your own time or energy to make sure they’re happy. So, how can we let go of these tendencies? In this episode, I will be explaining where people pleasing comes from and how to overcome the need to make everyone happy.

Listen in as I describe what will happen if you create something or decide to do something out of fear and how this can lead to a lifetime of sadness and fear. You will learn how to set clear boundaries for yourself (and others), how to let go of your old ways of thinking, and how to create new ways of caring for others.

In today’s episode I am unpacking:

  • What people pleasing is really about.

Episode 70: Anxiety, Consumption and Temptations

Feeling overcome with anxiety or dread can be difficult to pull yourself out of, especially once these negative feelings start to take over your day. However, if we can pinpoint what it is that is leading to these physical and emotional responses, it can become easier to find that peace of mind we are searching for. So, where do we begin with finding our triggers? In this episode, I will be sharing several temptations to be aware of that may be pulling you away from your internal voice, in hopes of helping you shed the external factors contributing to your anxiety.

We’ve got to be aware of what is going on around us, but it is important that we are never consumed by it. It is up to us to shift the narrative in our life so that it is aligned with who we want to be and where we want to go. Stop spiraling into worry and fretting over information that is being thrown your way and start seeing it for what it is: data and information.

Episode 69: Fear, Doubt, Success + Daily WINS with Joshua Kreitzer

What wakes you up in the morning and puts a fire in your belly?

AND … Why should anybody care? 

This is the core question we are diving into in today’s episode as I am joined by one of my amazing clients, industry leader, family man, and CEO of Channel Bakers - Josh Kreitzer. 

Often we think if things just get bigger, if we just scale more, if we just make more money, get a bigger house, a ferrari, a beautiful ski boat, a massive team… all our ‘problems’, insecurities and challenges would magically disappear right?

WRONG.  

The truth is - the more we boldly step into the next level of abundance, growth, expansion - take the LEAP into a new realm - it requires a whole new way of doing things and it tests us each step of the way.

Josh  went from losing everything and living off food stamps (with his family) in 2008 to sleeping on a yoga mat in the office to running an agency that does over 250 million in ad revenue globally per...

Episode 68: Still chasing and performing for affection + love

Are you still chasing and performing for love + affection?

Are you Constantly beating yourself up, convinced that you are screwing things up, have not done enough, or keep missing the mark somehow when it comes to your relationship?

Do you catch yourself feeling ‘undeserving’ of love or perhaps reciting to yourself

 “I DESERVE to be loved, to have someone who appreciates me and treats me better!”

And.. no matter how much you tell yourself this, you still don’t believe it.

 ``What did I DO to DESERVE this?!”

As always I will pull back the curtain...

Episode 67: Navigating Emotional Exhaustion + Feeling Like Yourself Again

overcoming adversity Oct 26, 2022

Sometimes you are just OFF. You are easily triggered over the simplest things. Your motivation and desire for the things you once loved seems to be escaping you and you simply don’t feel like yourself.  

Ever experienced that?
