International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.  It’s a day dedicated to recognizing women’s achievements, coming together and supporting women-owned businesses, fundraising for women-owned non-profits, and lifting women up collaboratively.
 
The Role of Women in the Bible
Historically, the portrayal of women in the Bible has varied and has often been influenced by the social and cultural contexts in which biblical translations were made.  One depiction would be through a patriarchal lens where translations were influenced by societies in which men held positions of power and authority, and a woman’s authority (or lack therof) was entirely dependent upon a male.  This resulted in the marginalization of women in the bible.
Women were often portrayed in either a sterotypical role as wives, mothers or objects of desire, or in negative depictions such as the culprit of all sin, a seductress, or as a prostitute:
Women’s stories were downplayed.  I didn’t grow up hearing stories of female empowerment in church.  I had never heard of Lydia, a business woman that funded Jesus’s ministry or Priscilla, a church planter.
 
I knew about Esther, Ruth, and Mary.  But I didn’t realize how the cultural contructs influenced the way their stories were told.
Recent translations and theologians have made great strides to reclaim women’s stories and experiences in the Bible, amplifying the voices of biblical characters such as Hagar, Mary, the woman at the well, and Dinah.
 
I am no theologian, biblical scholar, or expert in gender roles, but I have spent the last few years voraciously devouring scripturally supported written works that do a deep dive into this issue.
Some of my favorites are:
Jesus Feminist by Sarah Bessey
No More Holding Back and The In Between Place by Kat Armstrong
Tell Her Story by Ninjay K. Gupta
The Making of Biblical Womanhood by Beth Allison Barr
 
Lessons of female empowerment from the Bible
There are lessons on women’s empowerment that can be found within the pages of the bible, recognizing and celebrating the diverse roles and abilities of women. 
Esther, for example, was a Jewish queen in the Persian Empire who displayed bravery and resourcefulness to use her position of influence to save her people from destruction.  Esther’s story emphasizes the power of women to create change and stand up against in justice
Mary Magdalene: One of Jesus’ followers and played a significant role in the New Testament.  She witnessed Jesus’ crucifixion, was the first to see him after his resurrection, and was entrusted with spreading the news.  Her story highlights the importance of women as witnesses and leaders in the early Christian community.
Deborah, a prophetess and judge in the Old Testament, demonstrated strong leadership and courage.  She led Israel to victory in battle and provided wise counsel.  Her story highlights the importance of women’s leadership and their ability to make significant contributions. 
These stories, among many others, showcase women’s empowerment, leadership, resilience, and wisdom.  They serve as sources of inspiration and encouragement for women today, reminding us of our inherent worth and potential for making a positive impact in our communities.


The Bible addresses issues of women's rights and social justice in various ways. While some passages reflect the patriarchal norms of the time, there are also teachings and principles that promote equality, justice, and the dignity of all individuals. Here are a few ways in which the Bible addresses these issues:
 
-Human Dignity: The Bible affirms the inherent worth and value of all individuals, regardless of gender. In Genesis 1:27, it states that both men and women are created in the image of God, emphasizing their equal worth and dignity.
 
-Jesus' Ministry: Jesus' teachings and actions often challenged the social norms of his time and demonstrated care and respect for women. He interacted with women as equals, challenged oppressive practices, and affirmed their worth. For example, he defended the woman caught in adultery and engaged in meaningful conversations with women, such as the Samaritan woman at the well, which would have never been socially acceptable.
 
-Galatians 3:28: This verse highlights the equality and unity of all believers in Christ, stating, "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." This verse has been interpreted as a call for gender equality and the abolition of social distinctions.
 
While the Bible contains teachings and principles that promote women's rights and social justice, interpretation and understanding of these passages can vary. Within the Christian community, you can find as many arguments for as against amongst theologians.  I personally am not here to argue with anyone or change anyone’s mind.  I pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal himself to me as I study scripture.  Start there, and then remember to consider the cultural and historical context alongside the overall message of love, justice, and equality.
While we’ve come leaps and bounds from societal and cultural constraints of biblical times, International Women’s Day is significant in present times as it serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight for rights of women around the world. It is a day to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women in various fields, as well as to raise awareness about the challenges and obstacles they continue to endure. On this day, people come together around the world to advocate for women’s empowerment and the elimination of discrimination and violence against women.  We take the opportunity to highlight the progress that has been made as well as the work that still needs to be done.  We welcome this day as a time to come together as women, share our stories, and support one another in our struggles for justice.  This is a time to celebrate our strenth, resilience, and determination of women all over the world, and also to reaffirm that Jesus made a seat at the table for women. 
I encourage you to celebrate today by living out your faith values of love, compassion, and justice, and by continuing to work towards creating a more inclusive world for all women.

Next Steps:

1. Prayer: pray for women around the world who are facing challenges and injustice to be empowered.
2. Study: start a bible study focused on women in the Bible who have shown strength, courage, and faith. 
3. Serve: find a way to actively support under-resourced women in your community.
4. Start conversations: If women aren’t supported in leadership roles at your local church, ask why not.
5. Support: be FOR women by encouraging, empowering, mentoring, and supporting other women.  Create a network where Christian women are leading well.

Melissa was on The Power Project in 2019 in Episode #27 where she shared the mission behind The Net and The Worthy Co. Since then The Net has transitioned to solely serve trafficked survivors.

This raw and authentic conversation is such a beautiful example of God's never ending pursuit of our hearts.

Bailee shares that God called her back during a retreat that we hosted in 2020. We love this story so much because it shows us that God can reach us anywhere, even when the churches are closed. He can reach down and pull our hearts back to him in the middle of a glamping retreat surrounded by strangers, shopping, yoga, and karaoke.

Bailee encourages those that are questioning their faith to lean into it and don't be afraid to ask hard questions.

Brandi and Toby have a candid conversation surrounding mental health and the role the Church plays in changing the narrative. Having suffered from anxiety and panic disorder for 28 years, Toby shares his heart with us.

“When you connect God’s power with your mental health, Jesus becomes a lot more real in your life.”

“I want to normalize the conversation around mental wellness, and I would like the Capital C Church to be the first place, not the last place that people go when they’re struggling.”

“We have to celebrate our weaknesses as much as we celebrate our strengths”

“We have to break the stigma of mental health that it is something that we choose. Anxiety is not worry and depression is not sadness. The biggest issue with depression and anxiety is the shame that it brings.”

“We can do better than fidget spinners and weighted blankets. If we can get people to the source, they can get the peace that passes understanding so that they can actually live like all is well…”

Toby reminds us that we need to be where our kids are and that the internet is not a fad that is going away. After 22 years of pastoring, he has taken his ministry to TikTok because he believes if God opens a door for you, you can slide a message in there.

While discussing our Enneagram types and how to keep our egos in check, Toby shares this lesson God has taught him.
We all have a Calling that never changes, Assignment that can change and an Identity in Christ.

Toby and Brandi discuss his recent transition from lead pastor at Crosstimbers Church to Legacy Pastor, and he reminds us that people get in trouble by hanging onto an old season and missing the new one that God has in store for them.
He leaves us with a takeaway for anyone walking through a difficult transition
Ask God to replace the love that He gave you for the assignment which is not your identity and remind you of your calling.

Toby’s Bio
After graduating from Abilene Christian University in 1986, Toby began his ministry career in San Antonio, Texas, working with high school students. During his youth ministry years, Toby traveled around the country speaking to teenagers and youth workers.
In 1993, he and his family moved to Southlake, Texas, where he became the Preaching Minister for the Southlake Boulevard Church. It was there that God began to birth in him a dream to plant a church in the rural area of Argyle, Texas.

In 2000, Toby and Mika, along with twelve other families began Cross Timbers Church in the back of a bar. The idea for Cross Timbers was birthed from a calling God gave Toby to plant a church for hurting and broken people. In 2022, Toby transitioned from his role as Lead at Cross Timbers and launched Goby Ministries. Goby is a community of real people who are helping one another swim upstream. Transformation comes through resistance. Upstream swimming isn’t the absence of God—many times, it’s the signal of His Presence. His grace shows up in weakness, and it’s how He builds strength. Our goal is to help people find hope and freedom in the middle of the rough waters of anxiety, depression, and the challenges of today’s world. We are on mission to share the message of Goby with 100,000 kids and students by the end of 2022 by resourcing their families, faith communities, and other like-minded groups with relevant God-centered content and encouragement, making healthy conversations regarding mental wellness the new normal.

Toby and Mika have been married for over thirty-four years. He often says he married way over his head. Toby and Mika have a daughter Bailey-she, and her husband Grant have three kids, Gideon, Micah, and Esther. Toby and Mika's son, Ross, and his wife Michelle have two daughters June and Evie. His family brings him more joy than any one man could ever ask for. In his free time, Toby enjoys fishing, reading, spending time on the water, writing, and gardening.

Toby has authored several books including, The Adventures of Toby the Goby, Not Yet, Living the Dream, The Great Adventure, God Drives Me Crazy, Normal, It Is Well, and Harvest.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/49868305Fri, 27 May 2022 16:24:53 +0000Brandi VothIn Episode #109 Brandi sat down with the very first dude on the podcast, Toby Slough, founder of Goby Ministries and Legacy Pastor of Cross Timbers Church.

Brandi and Toby have a candid conversation surrounding mental health and the role the Church plays in changing the narrative. Having suffered from anxiety and panic disorder for 28 years, Toby shares his heart with us.

“When you connect God’s power with your mental health, Jesus becomes a lot more real in your life.”

“I want to normalize the conversation around mental wellness, and I would like the Capital C Church to be the first place, not the last place that people go when they’re struggling.”

“We have to celebrate our weaknesses as much as we celebrate our strengths”

“We have to break the stigma of mental health that it is something that we choose. Anxiety is not worry and depression is not sadness. The biggest issue with depression and anxiety is the shame that it brings.”

“We can do better than fidget spinners and weighted blankets. If we can get people to the source, they can get the peace that passes understanding so that they can actually live like all is well…”

Toby reminds us that we need to be where our kids are and that the internet is not a fad that is going away. After 22 years of pastoring, he has taken his ministry to TikTok because he believes if God opens a door for you, you can slide a message in there.

While discussing our Enneagram types and how to keep our egos in check, Toby shares this lesson God has taught him.
We all have a Calling that never changes, Assignment that can change and an Identity in Christ.

Toby and Brandi discuss his recent transition from lead pastor at Crosstimbers Church to Legacy Pastor, and he reminds us that people get in trouble by hanging onto an old season and missing the new one that God has in store for them.
He leaves us with a takeaway for anyone walking through a difficult transition
Ask God to replace the love that He gave you for the assignment which is not your identity and remind you of your calling.

Toby’s Bio
After graduating from Abilene Christian University in 1986, Toby began his ministry career in San Antonio, Texas, working with high school students. During his youth ministry years, Toby traveled around the country speaking to teenagers and youth workers.
In 1993, he and his family moved to Southlake, Texas, where he became the Preaching Minister for the Southlake Boulevard Church. It was there that God began to birth in him a dream to plant a church in the rural area of Argyle, Texas.

In 2000, Toby and Mika, along with twelve other families began Cross Timbers Church in the back of a bar. The idea for Cross Timbers was birthed from a calling God gave Toby to plant a church for hurting and broken people. In 2022, Toby transitioned from his role as Lead at Cross Timbers and launched Goby Ministries. Goby is a community of real people who are helping one another swim upstream. Transformation comes through resistance. Upstream swimming isn’t the absence of God—many times, it’s the signal of His Presence. His grace shows up in weakness, and it’s how He builds strength. Our goal is to help...]]>2535anxiety,assignment,calling,children,church,depression,identity,kids,mentalhealth,panic,parenting,pastoring,servantleader,transition,weakness,wellness,youthfalse3fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/power-project-108-the-power-of-authenticity-with-bailey-garner--49868797

Nika leaves with us an excerpt from John 5 as Jesus is talking to religious pharisees who are experts of the scriptures:
“You search the scriptures because in them you think you find eternal life, but I’m telling you they testify about me.”
She shares that this is Jesus telling us , “that the Bible is not another task that is put on Christians to do. It is the Narnian wardrobe into Who God is, and as you search it, you will find that you encounter a God who loves you more than you can fathom, is more Good than you can understand, and has more in store for you than you can imagine.”

Biblical Reference of 40 #1
Consistency: The Flood
Gen. 7:4 “Seven days from now, I will make the rains pour down on the earth. And it will rain for forty days and forty nights, until I have wiped from the earth all the living things I have created.

He’s consistent even when he is doing what we can’t yet comprehend.
It had never rained like this before.
He didn’t make it pour from the heavens for one day or one week, it poured in a manner that had never been seen before, and it did so for 40 days.
He made the impossible not only possible but consistent.

In the same way that he formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person in Genesis 2:7.

In the same way that he formed me in my mother’s womb and knit all of cry inner parts together in Psalm 139:14

In the same way that he has laid out a path for me and made plans of hope and a future in Jeremiah 29:11

He is a God of possibility. But he is a consistent God of possibility. He doesn’t just do the impossible once but he does it time and time again, from the very beginning of humanity to the present day that each and every one of us is standing in.

And, when we doubt with our human minds and fearful hearts, we are questioning his very infinite capabilities. When God has called us to take a step of faith and we are perched on the threshold, we have to remember that he has been a God of consistency that has never failed us. He is not concerned with what happens after we take that step because he has laid the plans out on the other side. He just needs us to be fearfully obedient and trust his consistency to do the impossible.

He sees you. He sees the mountain that you are facing. He hears your doubt and uncertainty. He recognizes your fear. He doesn’t need you to do anything other than to trust his consistency.

Read the full passage of the flood in Genesis here:

7 Next God said to Noah, “Now board the ship, you and all your family—out of everyone in this generation, you’re the righteous one.
2-4 “Take on board with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and a female; one pair of every unclean animal, a male and a female; and seven pairs of every kind of bird, a male and a female, to insure their survival on Earth. In just seven days I will pour rain on Earth for forty days and forty nights. I’ll make a clean sweep of everything that I’ve made.”
5 Noah did everything God commanded him.
6-10 Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters covered the Earth. Noah and his wife and sons and their wives boarded the ship to escape the flood. Clean and unclean animals, birds, and all the crawling creatures came in pairs to Noah and to the ship, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah. In seven days the floodwaters came.
11-12 It was the six-hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month that it happened: all the underground springs erupted and all the windows of Heaven were thrown open. Rain poured for forty days and forty nights.
13-16 That’s the day Noah and his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, accompanied by his wife and his sons’ wives, boarded the ship. And with them every kind of wild and domestic animal, right down to all the kinds of creatures that crawl and all kinds of birds and anything that flies. They came to Noah and to the ship in pairs—everything and anything that had the breath of life in it, male and female of every creature came just as God had commanded Noah. Then God shut the door behind him.
17-23 The flood continued forty days and the waters rose and lifted the ship high over the Earth. The waters kept rising, the flood deepened on the Earth, the ship floated on the surface. The flood got worse until all the highest mountains were covered—the high-water mark reached twenty feet above the crest of the mountains. Everything died. Anything that moved—dead. Birds, farm animals, wild animals, the entire teeming exuberance of life—dead. And all people—dead. Every living, breathing creature that lived on dry land died; he wiped out the whole works—people and animals, crawling creatures and flying birds, every last one of them, gone. Only Noah and his company on the ship lived.
24 The floodwaters took over for 150 days.

In Episode #70, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Elisabeth Jordan of The Human Impact. Before I interviewed Elisabeth, I joined her and her team for street outreach. I was able to watch her in action as she showed me what it looks like to do what they were doing with the Human Impact.
Elisabeth grew up in one of the wealthiest zip codes in Dallas, and through her lens of privilege never realized what was happening on the streets just a few miles down the road. After losing her job in corporate America, she began a quest to find her purpose in life and realized that she most felt like herself when serving the community of people on the streets. She and I speak about how God can stop us in our tracks in order to truly speak to us in a manner where we are able to hear his call for our lives.
Elisabeth identified friendship as the need that would drive her mission and quickly realized that it would need to be more than just her to really affect change. What started as a volunteer position that fed her soul 7 years ago quickly grew into an organization where she, team members, and volunteers build relationships with people on the streets. As they forge friendships and learn about their new friends, they work through what issues are keeping them on the streets in hopes of eventually helping them transition off the streets and back into society, a place of their own, and employment. The Human Impact has been a thriving organization for the past 4 years and has recently created a partnership with Bonton Farms where people can work on an urban farm and live in homes of their own as a first step along the restoration process.
I encourage you to lean into Elisabeth’s message of learning to see this population not as “Homeless People” but instead just as people.
She challenges us to ask ourselves the same question she asked herself in the beginning. Who are the homeless? What are my assumptions about the homeless? How can we serve others when we humble ourselves?
Elisabeth discussed her original thoughts of providing a solution for the homeless community.
“Coming with a solution to a problem when I had never experienced homelessness was actually pretty arrogant of me.”
She quickly realized that she needed to lay aside what she thought she was going to the streets to do and instead start listening. She tells us about her friend from he streets that was the first to welcome her into the community. She shares that he was the first to recognize that she didn’t know what she was doing but that he was going to love her anyway. After that first bond was formed, she realized that God was using this community to heal her and teach her to love herself because they accepted her for who she was. We discuss how forging meaningful relationships by sharing our humanity with one another, including our pain and vulnerability is what truly makes us stronger as people.
“Often times, people of privilege are coming to serve the homeless and we don’t realize we can relate to them in such a human way.”

She and I both found the most surprising part of street outreach to be how most of the homeless community choose to focus on the good and beautiful things that God has for them.
Elisabeth brings her husband and children along for outreach because they want their family to be close to people who are different from them and have different needs and stories. After all, there is so much life to that. While discussing her children, she tells us that as an Enneagram 1, her greatest desire for her children is for them to remember that they played because it is easy to get lost in the world of perfection and miss those moments.
She gives us 7 Tips for following your purpose in life
Know that following the purpose that is within in you is worth the risk
Don’t let fear keep you from walking your purpose journey.
Don’t let the risks outweigh the purpose for which you were made.
Purpose can be served in both business and the non-profit space. Neither one is more purposeful than the other.
Be willing to take chances and continue to pursue the path of purpose no matter what comes.
Take small risks so that you’re prepared to take the bigger risks when you’re called to
Change how you view failure, learn from it and grow from it.

Elisabeth also shares with us how she has taken lessons from failure and applied them in learning and growing.
5 Ways to Handle Failure
Do a post mortum
Ask yourself what could we have done differently,
what could they have done differently,
Assess what you can do different next time.
What can you take away from that moment to learn for the future.

We're taking it back to the streets with Elisabeth Jordan of The Human Impact. In Episode #70, I had...Elisabeth Jordan of The Human Impact.

In Episode #70, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Elisabeth Jordan of The Human Impact. Before I interviewed Elisabeth, I joined her and her team for street outreach. I was able to watch her in action as she showed me what it looks like to do what they were doing with the Human Impact.
Elisabeth grew up in one of the wealthiest zip codes in Dallas, and through her lens of privilege never realized what was happening on the streets just a few miles down the road. After losing her job in corporate America, she began a quest to find her purpose in life and realized that she most felt like herself when serving the community of people on the streets. She and I speak about how God can stop us in our tracks in order to truly speak to us in a manner where we are able to hear his call for our lives.
Elisabeth identified friendship as the need that would drive her mission and quickly realized that it would need to be more than just her to really affect change. What started as a volunteer position that fed her soul 7 years ago quickly grew into an organization where she, team members, and volunteers build relationships with people on the streets. As they forge friendships and learn about their new friends, they work through what issues are keeping them on the streets in hopes of eventually helping them transition off the streets and back into society, a place of their own, and employment. The Human Impact has been a thriving organization for the past 4 years and has recently created a partnership with Bonton Farms where people can work on an urban farm and live in homes of their own as a first step along the restoration process.
I encourage you to lean into Elisabeth’s message of learning to see this population not as “Homeless People” but instead just as people.
She challenges us to ask ourselves the same question she asked herself in the beginning. Who are the homeless? What are my assumptions about the homeless? How can we serve others when we humble ourselves?
Elisabeth discussed her original thoughts of providing a solution for the homeless community.
“Coming with a solution to a problem when I had never experienced homelessness was actually pretty arrogant of me.”
She quickly realized that she needed to lay aside what she thought she was going to the streets to do and instead start listening. She tells us about her friend from he streets that was the first to welcome her into the community. She shares that he was the first to recognize that she didn’t know what she was doing but that he was going to love her anyway. After that first bond was formed, she realized that God was using this community to heal her and teach her to love herself because they accepted her for who she was. We discuss how forging meaningful relationships by sharing our humanity with one another, including our pain and vulnerability is what truly makes us stronger as people.
“Often times, people of privilege are coming to serve the homeless and we don’t realize we can relate to them in such a human way.”

She and I both found the most surprising part of street outreach to be how most of the homeless community choose to focus on the good and beautiful things that God has for them.
Elisabeth brings her husband and children along for outreach because they want their family to be close to people who are different from them and have different needs and stories. After all, there is so much life to that. While discussing her children, she tells us that as an Enneagram 1, her greatest desire for her children is for them to remember that they played because it is easy to get lost in the world of perfection and miss those moments.

I mentor women that have endured terrible trauma in their past. They’ve been through situations that were sometimes a direct consequence of their own poor choices and others that were not. Most of the women have criminal records.

I teach a weekly course at an aftercare home for survivors of sexual exploitation and trafficking. The course is a combination of business & life coaching. While I help them to realize their gifts and skills as well as acquire the skills necessary for gainful employment, we also do a deep dive on emotional and mental roadblocks, unpacking past hurt, releasing shame and guilt, and taking responsibility for our own actions.

I’ve now taught 4 different groups of women in this course, and we inevitably reach the same point each time. It’s the midway point. Halfway through the course, this is where they start experiencing overwhelm, self-doubt, fear, and… this is typically where, if they are going to, they choose to leave the program.


Reasons we don’t break free from the cycle of failure:
1. Fear of Success
Success doesn’t feel comfortable.
Failure is familiar.
When we become overwhelmed and afraid, we revert to familiar behaviors. How did we feel with overwhelm before? Did we quit? Did we run away? Did we lean on unhealthy coping mechanisms?
What has happened in the past when we have attempted to succeed?

2. Fear of the unknown:
The devil we know is better than the one we don’t. Jer. 29: 11 “For I know the plans I have for you. Declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” God knows these plans. We don’t, and oftentimes, it seems much more comfortable to believe in the past hurt we know than the hope of the future. It’s hard to imagine something we’ve never seen before. Exile came before the hope. It doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, but that we must trust God’s plan and persevere.

3. Fear of New Identity (Accepting Failure as your identity)
When people have a line of bad choices & behaviors, this becomes part of their identity. People label them as a failure. However, when they take the steps to break the cycle, they step into a new identity. One where they are no longer the person of their past. This new identity requires them to be held accountable. The excuse of “that’s just the way they are no longer applies.” They have a new name.
Col. 3:9 -10 “…you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.”

4. Fear of Accountability: When transitioning from failure to success, you have to take responsibility for your actions and make changes.
1 Cor. 13:11 
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. “


5 Ways to Break the Cycle of Failure & Step Into Success

1. Take accountability for your actions. Recognize write or wrong choices that have led us to where we are. Own them without absorbing the guilt and shame. Recognize them as obstacles along the way that do not identify you. Acknowledge that who you were is not who you are today.

2. Recognize a time in your past that you turned an obstacle into an opportunity or a failure into a success.

3. Identify a time that you stepped through fear. Celebrate that moment as a victory. (RFW: the resident came to the program)

4. Remember a moment of power: a sense of accomplishment. What did that feel like? How much joy was in your heart? Who told you that you couldn’t. How did it feel to prove them wrong?

5. Imagine what it will feel like when you (accomplish this hard thing) you’re standing on the stage at graduation. What are you wearing? How is your hair fixed? Who is in the audience? What friends and family are there with you? How proud do you feel about this accomplishment? How much joy do you have in your heart? How will it feel when you are able to share this success?



Claim your victory.
Write your victory statement:
I have accomplished ________________________________________________________________
Whatever goal that you are holding back from accomplishing right now)
Visualize the feeling of success. Close your eyes and imagine what life feels like on the other side of that statement.
Just because we haven’t seen it before doesn’t mean we can’t imagine it. Visualize what your life looks like on the other side. What does your life look like after achieving this victory.


Write a letter to yourself:

Dear Self,
I want you to know that you are: __________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
(strength & overwhelming characteristics: ex. *A child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made, resilient, persistent, forgiven, redeemed, worthy)


You have __________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
(statement of triumph: Overcome addiction, survived abuse/trauma, saved a bankrupt business)

You possess all the _______________________ (knowledge, talent, gifts, skills) to accomplish

____________________________________________________________________________________

You are committed to ___________________________________________________________
(putting in the work and taking the action steps necessary to complete this goal because the success that lies on the other side of this challenge is worth every step of the journey.)

From now on, anytime I feel like giving up on a goal, or turning back to a cycle of failure because the fear of success is too great, I promise to go back and read this letter to myself. I promise to constantly seek success and not fear the unknown, but embrace the plans that God has for me.

LOVE,
YOUR SUCCESSFUL SELF STANDING ON THE SIDE OF VICTORY]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/33041491Thu, 25 Jun 2020 11:00:13 +0000Brandi VothIn this episode, we are discussing the cycle of failure and how it keeps us from stepping into success.

It’s easy to lose hope and feel
powerless. But, where there is hopelessness, God can show up and do
great things.
We look around and see anger, confusion, turmoil, and division. We have argued over
those concerns tear our country apart at the seams. ed about COVID, and those saying
it’s all a conspiracy. We have seen racial division tear our country apart at the seams.
My cop friends are scared and angry. My black friends are scared and angry. Those of
us in the middle are scared and angry.
I’m not going to speak in detail on this subject. I don’t feel qualified. What I am going
to speak on is what God has called me to speak on. It’s easy to feel pulled in one
direction, in an all or nothing battle. Our society has created this all or nothing dialogue
where we have to pick teams. We see it in every stage of our society, from politics and
religion, to vaccinations, where we send our kids to school, and even down to
breastfeeding or bottle feeding. Somewhere along the way, we believed the narrative
that we can not love others that have a differing view from us.
But, today, I want to point something out that we may all be forgetting.
We are not fighting flesh and blood. We are fighting against the powers of this world’s
darkness and against the spiritual forces of evil. (Eph. 6:12)
This is part of the enemy’s attack. He seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. He uses
weapons of confusion, anger, and division. He sews discourse amongst God’s
children. He has our nation where he wants it right now. We don’t trust our leaders.
We don’t know what to listen to. We don’t believe what we read. People are searching
for truth. People are searching for hope. We are not fighting a battle against the color
of our skin. We are not fighting a battle against injustice. We are fighting a battle
against our spirits. If we turn on one another rather than supporting each other, we will
never be able to carry out God’s plan for our lives. We will not bring glory to the
kingdom of God.
Eph. 6: 10 tells us to. “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand
against the schemes of the devil.”
I look at our country and see that we need God more now than ever before. I see
powerlessness, hopelessness, and Godlessness.
The armor of God:
• The belt of Truth (We are all looking for truth. His word is truth) *Go to your bible.
• The breastplate of righteousness, while we are all fighting over who's right, we
need to make sure that we are guarding ourselves with his righteousness
• The gospel of Peace: To know him is to be able to have peace in the midst of
unrest
• The shield of faith: don’t just hear the words, commit them to your heart. Stand firm
in your faith.
• My faithful friends are those that I see full of peace,
• The helmet of salvation: Having salvation in our hearts but also in our minds.
• The sword of the spirit
We have instruction for how to fight this spiritual battle, this attack of the enemy, but
how do we show up for a fallen world in the midst of the worst of humanity.
We are the BEST OF HUMANITY. We LOVE.
*Conversation with Izell*
We are all on the same team. We all have the same heart.
When we show up and love others well, we will see change.
Love sees no color. TRULY
Love is BLIND.
Love sees no transgressions.
Love sees no division.
Love says that an officer in uniform and a criminal on drugs can love one another.
Love says that my friends and I can have different experiences and still love one
another.
Romans 12 gives us clear instruction on how we can deal with these times that feel so
divided and so full of division:
• Let Love be Genuine
• Truly: serve the homeless, serve the marginalized, serve the differently-abled, serve
those less privileged. Have conversations. Listen to their experiences.
• Love one another with brotherly affection
• Like I tell my children, you have the same last name. You’re on the same team.
Love one another
• Be fervent in spirit
• Having great warmth, intensity, a burning desire
• Rejoice in HOPE: Holiness, Opportunity, Power, Expectancy
• Be patient in tribulation
• Be constant in prayer
• Contribute to the needs of the saints
• Bless those who persecute you
• Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep
• Live in harmony with one another
• Repay no evil for evil
• If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peacefully with all
• DO NOT be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/29222106Thu, 04 Jun 2020 11:00:13 +0000Brandi VothIt’s easy to get discouraged right now.

Today we are discussing Responsible Mindset vs Victim Mindset. How do we move from the place of being stuck to the place of growth? Ways to develop a responsibility mindset 

A person with a responsibility mindset takes initiative and strives for growth. The responsible mindset is driven by an internal compass rather than an external force. Responsibility mindset chooses to eat healthy when no one is looking rather than binge on junkfood. A responsible mindset opts for a personal development book or podcast rather than binge watching NetFlix.
A responsible mindset is dependable and others can count on you, but also chooses to draw boundaries.
Victim Mentality:
Why does this keep happening to me?
If only I had_____. I could_____
Typically express feelings of sorrow, an overall sense of overwhelm, helplessness, defeatedness,
Looks for things to be better one day,
All personalities can fall victim to vicim mentality: feel life has dealt them an unfair hand, distrusting of others, see other’s growth as competition, become defensive easily, scarcity mentality, are manipulative, deceitful, over-inflate their importance, seek to be the center of attention, co-dependent, needy, want instant gratification, use others for their own agenda, indecisive, over-indulgent
Responsibility Mindset:
What action can I take to prevent this from happening?
I can do this______ in order to be able to have this______.
Expresses gratitude, optimism, contentedness, peace in the presence, hope for the future.
All personalities can have or develop a responsibility mindset: commitment to service, patience, and persistence, generous, giving, honest, exhibit self-control, fully embrace community and collaboration, appreciate strengths in others, recognize happiness as a choice, use powers for good, unselfish, make practical decisions rather than emotionally driven whims, practice moderation
15 Ways to Move from a Victim Mindset to a Responsible Mindset
Volunteer for opportunities outside of your comfort zone that you can learn fromSurround yourself with others that share the mindset and will encourage and push you in your growth.
Interrupt the “One Day” thought process. Self correct with Today I will_______
Allow yourself to be authentically vulnerable with those closest to you.
Journal what it is that you are truly experiencing. Not just emotions, but what is the process that you are walking through. Identify what you are most afraid of. Recognize how you are holding yourself back. Admit that you would rather be healthy than right.
View your mistakes as a lesson in growth rather than failures.
Accept constructive criticism. “Until we can receive what areas we lack in, we can not begin to grow in those areas.”
Communicate respectfully and directly with others. (don’t grumble behind their backs)
Shine the light on others. Celebrate their victories.
Realize that others successes do not diminish your potential.
“Realize that while your past has impacted you, it does not define you.” Stand in the present, acknowledge who you are today, and set your eyes on who you want to be in the future.
Listen to others.
Guard your mind. If you feel yourself being pulled into the black hole of someone else’s drama, physically and mentally remove yourself.
Adopt growth mentality: there is plenty of room at the table for all of us
Practice self control in in the small things. Do less of something each day. 

“Acknowledge that who you are today does not determine who you will be in the future.”
What happens when we have moved into a responsible mindset but have left others behind? Sometimes, those still sitting in the victim mindset will choose not to grow with you, and in return can become an anchor. This is where you have to choose to enforce boundaries.
5 Ways to draw boundaries with a Responsible Mindset :
Learn to say no to obligations not serving your growth: Just because you can do it, doesn’t mean you should do it. Often times people will see your strength more accessible than it should be. If it’s not something aligned with your mission or contributing to your growth, you shouldn’t be doing it.
Allow others to take ownership. Don’t do it for them. You prevent them from growing when you do. They will ask you to do things for them rather than learning to do it for themselves.
Do not allow others not striving for growth to speak into your life.
Do not allow others to make you feel guilty about your own growth. Recognize that it is about their own mindset, insecurities, and self- belief.
Recognize people stuck in the victim mindset, and quit trying to make them responsible. Love them and leave them where they are. Otherwise, your own growth will be inhibited.

We discussed how persistence at this time is an important reminder for us to trust God’s plan for our lives in spite of the times we’re walking through.
Tamra shared 3 ways that we can all stay persistent in faith in times of uncertainty:
Let go of the expectations that we had for our plans.
Believe in what God has actually planned for us.
Stay rooted in the truth and knowledge of what he has already promised for us.
During The Great Pause, Tamra has used this as a season of intentionality and encourages us all to dig deep into who we were created to be.
Tamra shares with us how in her personal coaching sessions, reminds her students whose they are and helps them apply tangible resources for aligning their mind, body, & soul to fulfill their purpose.
Tamra and I discuss the intersection of faith and self love. She shared with us her beliefs about Self Love. “Self love is an ability to operate only out of overflow. God is there in that overflow moment. But if you don’t reach for it, you are going to be starved.”
When asked what she wanted our audience to know it’s this: “You’re ready. The lie you’re telling yourself is that I’m not ready. But you are ready. You were born ready. God has perfectly timed this moment of your life where the passion is boiling inside. You’re a little bit nervous. You are a little fearful. He’s already utilized the highs and lows to get you to where you can say yes. So, all you have to do is release the fear and say yes because he has already equipped you. You don’t need a certification. You don’t need a degree. You don’t need to invest in another program that you don’t know what is going to come from it. You need to lean in. You already have your purpose.”

I hear the stories of what they would do if they could, but I also hear the self-doubt and fear surrounding the ideas.
While people, in general, share a common theme of a limited mindset, I see women specifically experiencing self-doubt on a large scale. Why do women give into such limiting beliefs? From highly successful women to those that have endured severe trauma in their lives, the universal theme is that they just don’t believe in themselves.
They believe the lies that they are
Not smart enough.
Not qualified enough.
Not educated enough.
Not young enough
Not old enough
Not strong enough
Not brave enough
When I talk about power words with women, and ask them who God would say they are, oftentimes Enough is the answer. However, why is it so hard for us to actually believe?
I have an exercise that I do with my mentees that I want to share with you at home. This exercise is intended to help the student realize skills that they currently have, and areas that they need to work on while coming up with a vocational plan. But for you at home, this is a way to realize your strengths and become more confident in life. Because as we realize our strengths and gain confidence, we begin to see ourselves through the eyes of our creator, and in turn, stop believing the lies that Satan is whispering to us.
—Take out a pen and a piece of paper and write down whatever it is that you are dreaming of doing in life. If you have multiple ideas, list the Top 3
Write Down “Three Things I do Best”. In my class, we have previously done a brain dump and dug into all of their talents and gifts. But, at this point, I encourage them to think really intently on their Top 3. This may look like “caring for others, conflict resolution, collaborating, networking, organizing, communicating, manual labor”
Second, Write Down “My Top Skills” This can be anything from public speaking, to baking pies. Whatever specific skills you have. This could be bookkeeping, data entry, painting, teaching, cooking, writing, childcare, caregiving. Get really specific on your top 3 skills. This is not a certification or education. This is what you truly bring to the table and how you serve your community.
Third, Write Down “My Main Skill Roadblocks Are”. This is where we acknowledge the areas that we are lacking in. List your top 3. By realizing our roadblocks, we can learn how to overcome them. Perhaps you lack in the technology department, you need to watch YouTube videos, read blogs, and listen to podcasts until you become more tech-savvy. Maybe you’re not great at marketing, find someone who is and do what they tell you to do. And, if you’re like I was, you don’t understand bookkeeping and accounting. Once again, find someone who does and learn from them.
Fourth, Write Down “Skills I Would Most Like to Learn” Just because we don’t know how to do something doesn’t mean we can’t learn. Determine the top 3 skills you need to help you realize your dreams and chase your goals. Write them down. Then take action to pursue them.
Fifth, Write Down “My Negative Character Traits Are” List the Top 3. These can be: insecurity, self-doubt, fearful anxious, unreliability, disorganization, disrespectfulness, undependability, indecisiveness, unforgiving, undisciplined. Be honest here. Just because you realize those character traits does not mean you stay in that place. You make a concerted effort to flip them into a positive.
Lastly, Write Down “My Greatest Character Strengths” List the Top 3. I want you to own this! Whether it is dependability, integrity, respectfulness, patience, courage, hard-working, reliability, loyalty, perseverance, self-discipline, confidence, selflessness, write those strengths down. Stand confidently in those strengths. Focus on those. When you start to doubt yourself and you fill unequipped for the call on your life, reach down and pull those character strengths out. Stand firm in those.

In the beginning of this exercise, before we get into it, I ask mentees what they are good at. Most people can’t or won’t answer the question. Even if they know what they are good at, they are not confident enough to share that. So, I throw things out. I like to start by asking them if they cook. If they do, I ask what their favorite dish to cook is. Because a good cook knows they are a good cook and take great pride in what they prepare. I love watching their face light up as they tell me about their mouthwatering fried chicken, slow-cooked ribs, or perfectly flaky crusted apple pie. I have them tell me how they prepare them and watch as they take great pride in detailing the process.
Moments later, while completing the activity, as we get to the part about skill roadblocks, I watch their eyes fall as they realize what they lack. I see their confidence begin to shrink. And I quickly ask them if they knew how to prepare their award-winning recipe before they made it the first time. I remind them of how confident they were sharing the process with me. I remind them how proud they feel when they serve that dish to anxiously awaiting friends and family. And, I remind them of the satisfaction they get when the plates are cleaned and everyone raves on how delicious the meal was. We don’t know how to do anything before we learn the process. We can stand in our strengths, realize our weaknesses and learn what we don’t yet know.
Maybe you don’t cook. But there is something in life that you are great at that at one time you did not know how to do. Singing, sewing, playing an instrument, crafting, organizing, gardening, speaking, running, working out, heck doing your hair. Whatever it is. Own that. Store it to memory. And when you begin to be overwhelmed with what you don’t yet know how to do, remember that you once didn’t know how to do this.

When I talk about power words with women, and ask them who God would say they are, oftentimes Enough is the answer. However, why is it so hard for us to actually believe?
I have an exercise that I do with my mentees that I want to share with you at home. This exercise is intended to help the student realize skills that they currently have, and areas that they need to work on while coming up with a vocational plan. But for you at home, this is a way to realize your strengths and become more confident in life. Because as we realize our strengths and gain confidence, we begin to see ourselves through the eyes of our creator, and in turn, stop believing the lies that Satan is whispering to us.
—Take out a pen and a piece of paper and write down whatever it is that you are dreaming of doing in life. If you have multiple ideas, list the Top 3
Write Down “Three Things I do Best”. In my class, we have previously done a brain dump and dug into all of their talents and gifts. But, at this point, I encourage them to think really intently on their Top 3. This may look like “caring for others, conflict resolution, collaborating, networking, organizing, communicating, manual labor”
Second, Write Down “My Top Skills” This can be anything from public speaking, to baking pies. Whatever specific skills you have. This could be bookkeeping, data entry, painting, teaching, cooking, writing, childcare, caregiving. Get really specific on your top 3 skills. This is not a certification or education. This is what you truly bring to the table and how you serve your community.
Third, Write Down “My Main Skill Roadblocks Are”. This is where we acknowledge the areas that we are lacking in. List your top 3. By realizing our roadblocks, we can learn how to overcome them. Perhaps you lack in the technology department, you need to watch YouTube videos, read blogs, and listen to podcasts until you become more tech-savvy. Maybe you’re not great at marketing, find someone who is and do what they tell you to do. And, if you’re like I was, you don’t understand bookkeeping and accounting. Once again, find someone who does and learn from them.
Fourth, Write Down “Skills I Would Most Like to Learn” Just because we don’t know how to do something doesn’t mean we can’t learn. Determine the top 3 skills you need to help you realize your dreams and chase your goals. Write them down. Then take action to pursue them.
Fifth, Write Down “My Negative Character Traits Are” List the Top 3. These can be: insecurity, self-doubt, fearful anxious, unreliability, disorganization, disrespectfulness, undependability, indecisiveness, unforgiving, undisciplined. Be honest here. Just because you realize those character traits does not mean you stay in that place. You make a concerted effort to flip them into a positive.
Lastly, Write Down “My Greatest Character Strengths” List the Top 3. I want you to own this!

I considered interviewing my grandmothers and mother for the episode, but with the current situation, I wouldn’t be able to interview them in person. While I do most interviews remotely, that would be technologically challenging with my grandmas.
So, instead, I started thinking about mothers around me, who had a great story to tell that we could learn from? Who would be inspiring to you guys?
Not able to come up with the right fit, I prayed for direction. And I realized I wanted to record an episode about Mothers of the Bible. What does the Bible say about a mother? I found scriptures about a mother consoling and comforting, how Sarah waited, Hagar endured, and Rebekah believed. But, I still wasn’t finding clear direction for this episode.
Once again, I started thinking about mothers around me. I started thinking about my friends and family members that were at different stages of motherhood.
Mothers who have just found out they are expecting and are fearful and anxious
Expectant mothers who are not able to celebrate their pregnancies with friends and family
New Mothers who have had to deliver in less than ideal circumstances, with no family members present in a strange place
Mothers of infants that they are trying to protect and keep healthy
Mothers who are separated from their children and worry about their safety
Mothers who are learning to evolve in a new normal
Mothers whose older children have missed important milestones in life
Mothers who are worried about their children’s economic well-being in the future
Mothers who have had to release control of their adult children and trust that they will be safe
Motherhood is an unnerving process filled with concerns along the way. Each stage brings new concerns and worries. However, in this time of so many unknowns, we mothers find ourselves facing more fears than ever before.

And so, I’ve looked to the life of Mary, Mother of Jesus, for steps that we can take as Mothers.

Mary was a very young peasant that gave birth during a census and time of political unrest. Sound familiar? She was told that she had to return to her village of origin (Stay Home orders/Shelter in Place) close to the time of giving birth.
She was engaged to Joseph, and her unexpected pregnancy not only interrupted her upcoming wedding celebration plans but nearly cost her the relationship. So, if your child has missed a major life moment such as graduation or a wedding, you can look to Mary and the way she handled her plans being completely wrecked.
Luke 1:26-31: When the angel Gabriel appeared before Mary to tell her that she was pregnant, he told this young unwed girl that she was “the Lord was with her, and Do Not Be Afraid.” He also told her that “Nothing is impossible with God.”
Luke 1:38 shows us that Mary responded with “Let it be according to your word.”
Three things that Mary did in the very beginning that we can strive to do as Mothers today
1. Believe that God can do what he says he can do.
2. Submit to his will
3. See his will fulfilled

Much like those of you that are expecting today, Mary had to give birth in a strange place, without being surrounded by friends or family, and it probably didn’t look like her ideal birth plan. She could only celebrate with the three shepherds that were there.
When King Herod heard news of the birth, she was told her son was in danger and had to flee from Bethlem to Egypt where she, Joseph, and her son had to live in isolation, away from friends and family, and on a tight budget.
She did two things here that we can apply to our time of economic uncertainties and social distancing:
1. Mary trusted
2. Mary obeyed

When Jesus became a man and began ministering and performing miracles, he showed Mary that he was no longer dependent upon her but that he was under the authority of God. She had to release control and allow God to use him as he desired.

Through his time of persecution, Mary watched her son be ridiculed, betrayed, deserted, falsely accused, and eventually crucified. She did not interfere with God’s plan for his life. Instead, she stood by courageously, even in the final moments.

Jesus, following God’s will, obeyed his mother as a child, respected his mother as an adult, and took care of her by leaving her in the care of John.
We see the complete cycle of motherhood here:
Parents: Prov. 22:6 :”train up a child in the way that he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Three Key Factors that helped Mary fulfill her purpose as a Mother:
She knew what the Bible said
She knew who God had created her to be
She was faithful through it all

Whatever stage of motherhood that we find ourselves in, it is important that we remember that much like Mary, we weren’t blessed with this role because we deserved it. God poured his grace out, gifting us with these children that he has known since before we carried them in our womb. And, even in times of uncertainty, God’s provisions are abundant, and his plans are perfect.

She founded the organization more than 20 years ago to provide a sanctuary and healing for women survivors of prostitution, trafficking, and addiction not historically served. She leads important conversations across the country by speaking, writing, and heading a national network of like-minded organizations. She has founded 8 justice organizations and helped raise more than $50M dollars. The New York Times, PBS, ABC World News, NPR, CNN and the White House have all highlighted Becca and her work. She is the author of 10 books and lives in Nashville with her husband, Grammy-winning songwriter Marcus Hummon, and their three sons.
Becca shared with us that this is the most important time for community, and serving others through small steps that can make a large impact.
One way she and Thistle Farms are staying connected to one another while serving their community is by participating in a weekly Zoom call where they each light a candle and recite “We light this candle for the woman that is still on the street and the woman that is trying to find her way home.”
Becca had a strong desire to work with women on the streets all her life and sought out to create justice work in a non-competitive, lavish way. Through such, she was able to create a global movement for women’s freedom that serves women who are survivors of trafficking, prostitution, and addiction. The movement has grown to a national network of 50 affiliated partners and 30 global partners which allows affiliates to take ownership in the movement and collaborate through shared trade fashion.
Becca reminds us that “We are stronger and bigger than a virus, we are going to get through this, and on the other side we’re going to say that we never gave up.”
3 things Becca hopes we can look back and say at the end: 
1. We feel good about what we went through.
2. We became stronger, deeper, and more spiritual through the process.
3. We were faithful throughout it all.
Becca reminds us to seek out gratitude every day in the midst of this circumstance. She encourages us through this daily quote “My glass isn’t half full. My glass is just too big. Get small again. Take those few precious drops that you’ve been given today and let it fill your cup.”
My blessing for the day was being able to finally meet Becca Stevens, and I hope to learn more from her in the future.

her to co-found Belle & Sparrows. At the age of 42, while serving on the church
staff, Lynde felt the pull on her heart to propose an all women’s mission trip for her
women’s ministry group. Within two to three months, she, with the support of her
pastor and church, was able to assemble the first ever all female team of 24 women
that spent one week serving impoverished women in Guatemala.
- Lynde found herself as an empty nester having what she refers to as a crisis of faith.
She knew that she was called to serve God’s people outside of the church, but
questioned why he would use someone like her to share the message. Although she
felt fearful and uncertain, she knew that God’s call for her life was greater than her
self doubt.
• She shares her personal steps for overcoming doubt and having Faith Over Fear
1. Start with Prayer & Discernment
2. Share your calling with trusted people in your circle and ask for prayers
3. Take a Step of Faith
By stepping out in faith, Lynde along with her co-founder Tiffany Savage were able to
create Belle & Sparrows to be able to serve women both locally and globally. By
partnering with local organizations, volunteers are able to serve women transitioning
from homelessness as well as sexually exploited and trafficked survivors.
Internationally, Belle & Sparrows provides the opportunity to teach women in
Guatemala the necessary skills for gainful employment, and In Haiti, serve foster moms
that are caring for disabled and orphaned children. Nationally, volunteers can serve
Navajo women in New Mexico, women in transitional living in Oregon, and expecting
mothers at the pregnancy center in Waco, TX.
The Stella project is the newest endeavor for Belle & Sparrows. This will be a
transitional living home, and social enterprise where women will be able to make and
sell honey based products from their very own beehive.

While this episode was recorded before we found ourselves in this current situation, I
have found Lynde’s words to be so relevant to this preset time.
“Our lives are in seasons. Just because one season is coming to a close, doesn’t
mean that your life is coming to a close.”
She told our listeners to “Put legs on what you are learning in your bible study and step
out in faith.” She shared that we can’t make disciples if we’re not willing to go. So, we
should all take baby steps, and step by step follow the journey God has planned for us.

Thirty Eight, The Year I will never forget.
I have to think hard as to what I did for my birthday last year.
But, I bet I never forget the year I spent my birthday in quarantine.

I have been planning this episode all year! I couldn’t wait to share what all has changed in the past ten years of my life. I couldn’t wait to share with my network how I had once felt it was too late to step into my purpose, but found out that it’s certainly not! This month should be a whirlwind for me right now! And, I should be telling you about everything that I have going on. 

I know that we are all going through this together, and everyone is navigating their own trials right now. No one is truly unaffected, and I’m sure that some of you out there are feeling the same way I am.
I have found myself feeling incredibly aimless right now and feel like rather than achieving, I am simply floating.

So, for this episode, I took a literal page out of my own book where my 38 year old self tells my 19 year old self everything is going to be okay. Hopefully one day, my 76 year old self will be able to remind my 38 year old self that it all turned out great. I hope it helps you because, it actually helped me a lot.

We have to remember to trust the path that He is leading us on.

Micah 6:8 teaches us how to actually walk with God.
DO JUSTICE: Living Relationally with God and one another in the natural creation.
Reach out to neighbors, friends, and family to see how you can help them. Maybe they just need to talk, maybe they need groceries or medication, maybe they need help operating an online platform.

LOVE KINDNESS: Loving the act of being warmhearted, considerate, humane, and sympathetic.
Remember that when this is all over, we are still each other’s neighbors. There will be differing opinions, theories, beliefs, but we can choose to differ in a kind manner.

WALK WITH GOD:
How do you walk with someone? You share conversation that includes your immediate surroundings. You comment how beautiful a flower or sunset is. You talk about what is currently going on in your life. You share your concerns, fears, hopes. You experience the walk relationally with them.

In an effort to share this opportunity with you, I’ve brought my good friend, Charla Corn
Barrett on the show. Charla is not only a mom and wife with a background in music
and radio, but she is also an entrepreneur and my personal sponsor in this business.
She shares with us how she and her husband have been able to leverage this business
to start a social enterprise coffee company that builds schools in Kenya, foster three

different babies, and not only achieve debt-free status but also offer a debt-
management class with their network.

Charla shares how her biggest wish for everyone listening to this episode is that we all
come out of this differently than how we went into it. She encourages to look at our
lives and decide what we are going to continue doing and what we are going to stop
doing that is not serving our families. She asks us what kind of legacy we want to
leave.

We were the family that always had people with us. Our kids were raised in this tribe of friends
that were like family. Our house was where everyone came to eat. If someone didn’t come
over, my kids wondered what was wrong. We didn’t vacation alone. We didn’t truly do
anything alone as a family.
We were flooded in one time for three days and thought we were going to lose our minds
because we were so accustomed to having friends around. Up until then, we had always
thought it would be so cool to own a private island. It seemed so romantic and adventurous.
Until we were trapped on our own island of sorts without people being able to reach us. The
actual conversation my husband had at that point was “Babe, I was wrong. I don’t want to live
on an island. I love my family, but I need my friends.”
Many of you find yourself on what feels like an island right now. You’re stuck with your spouse
and kids only and you have no idea how you all are going to survive. I get it. That was us too
up until the last few years. Through some life events and growing pains, we found ourselves
choosing to spend most of our time with our immediate family. At first it was hard, I’m not
going to lie.
Our kids were 8 and 11 and they had only known a life of being surrounded by people. The
first time we went on our boat, just the four of us they were completely confused. I’m not sure
that they knew we could take the boat out without anyone else. They asked daily who was
coming over and why it was just us.
It felt lonely and isolated. My husband and I loved each other and enjoyed each other’s
company, but we didn’t know how to be alone together. We had always had distractions in our
marriage. We had people around. If we were irritated with one another, we had a friend we
could vent to. If we wanted to avoid one another, we had friends we could escape to.
In the beginning, it was easy to turn on one another. We would let the loneliness push us to the
edge where we snapped at one another and snapped at the kids.
HOW TO LOVE THE ONES YOUR STUCK WITH
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A NEW SITUATION FOR EVERYONE
When the kids asked who was coming over, we would be irritated and tell them that they didn’t
have to always have people around. However, we had to understand that we had created this
situation. They were accustomed to being raised in a village. We had never taught them how
to be content with one another and only our family because had always had distractions.

EXTEND GRACE TO ONE ANOTHER
• As we began to enjoy time with just our family, we deiced it was a great time to buy a
motorhome and take off for a 12 day journey. We had dreamt of owning a motorhome for ten
years and were so excited about this adventure. Within the first four hours of the trip, I was
regretting the purchase and wondering if it was too soon to late to back out. While we had
gotten used to spending more family time together, we were not accustomed to being so

together in such closed quarters. The kids were constantly wrestling, fighting, or asking for
something. My husband needed me to help him with navigation, and needed things from
me. I needed peace and quiet to get work done. At the end of day 2, we were all ready to
murder each other. This was when it hit me that we had never really spent that much
uninterrupted time together. So, we had to have a family conversation that looked like, Dad
apologizing for having a short temper. Mom apologizing for losing her mind and cursing.
And, the kids apologizing for being a-holes.... yeah, that was an actual conversation. And,
we all were able to extend grace to one another to learn how to navigate this new
experience. Now, that motorhome and a two week adventure is our absolute favorite family
time! We found our groove.
• When the kids are fighting with one another, we give them the grace to work it out because,
it’s a lot of togetherness!
HAVE PATIENCE
• Know that this does not happen overnight. It takes time.
As we distanced ourselves a little more from others, we fell into the rhythm of a new normal.
My kids started to realize that when we were the only ones in the boat, they could wakeboard
for as long as they wanted to and not have to take turns with all the other kids.
• Know that each day spent without friends or external family around is one more day spent
growing closer to your immediate family.

TAKE PART IN EACH OTHER’S ACTIVITIES
Realize that your routine doesn’t look the same when it is only your immediate family. You,
your husband, and your children do not have friends around to participate in the activities that
they normally would.
• If your kids play baseball or jump on trampolines with neighborhood kids, play video games,
be the parent that takes interest in that activity and fill that void. Do the activity that their
friends normally would.
• I love a fire pit and glass of wine on the patio with girlfriends. Instead of girlfriends, my
husband has stepped in and filled that void and it makes my heart so very happy. Can I tell
you, it’s completely awesome?
• But, he’s willing to do so because when my husband wants to watch one of his car shows or
work on something in the shop, I hang out with him. Heck, this week, I jumped on the back
of his dirt bike and let him take me for a ride! He was thrilled, I was terrified...
BE FLEXIBLE
Try new things that you wouldn’t normally have done as a family. You may end up finding a
new family favorite.
• We’ve recently taken up hiking. I’ve teased on all of our vacations that I want to be one
of those hiking families. We hike now, talking and sharing along the path.
• And, mushroom hunting. It’s a new family pastime that I would have never taken up if I
weren’t willing to experience new activities with just my family.
COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER
• If you need a time out from the family, (like I did today while preparing this episode)
communicate that. Explain that you need the quiet time to focus on your task at hand or
simply to have a moment.
• Talk to your family about the situation and how while it feels weird to not have others around,
you’re grateful for the opportunity to grow closer as a family.
• Show gratitude to one another: If we’ve been on a two day road trip and have only stopped
to sleep without the kids getting to stretch their legs, we thank them for being such awesome

road warriors. Same goes for this quarantine process. We daily thank our kids for being
such troopers in the midst of all this.

I FOUND A MOREL MUSHROOM ON MY PROPERTY
People search the world over for this. It’s a delicacy. A specific type of mushroom that grows in the wild. It’s highly coveted. I didn’t know about it until just a few days before I happened upon this delicacy growing in my back yard. My cousin had just told me about these as he was spending isolation time driving around trying to find these in the country. It’s delicious! You can fry it up or simply sauté it. It’s a flavor as mouthwatering as that of a perfectly grilled filet mignon. I had never heard of such a thing until someone told me about it. And it was right there in my backyard, waiting for me to taste and see that it was good.
As I was spending time in nature, observing this delicacy that I had just found in my backyard, it dawned on me, In the midst of the unknown, uncertainty, sadness, sickness, and fear, people needed to know how good this God is. They needed to know how to find a peace that passes understanding in the midst of what feels like the entire world falling apart around them. But what if no one has ever told someone about this eternal love that is waiting to be plucked right out of their back yard. People should know that this earth, this life, was never the end goal. The goal was for us to all know God and find an unending grace and mercy that leads us to an eternity of childlike joy in a place where there is no worry, sickness, stress, or anxiety. In a place where there are no pandemics.

PEACE AT THE POND
I sat at the pond, watching my husband and children fishing. Thinking about what a great day we had had, baking blueberry muffins, taking a walk to drop surprise goodies on neighbor’s porches, fishing, enjoying the sunshine. I thought how the list of things completely wrong in the world should vibe overwhelming at that moment, but I was at complete and total peace. I had accepted that the only thing I could control was what was happening in my immediate household. All I could do was love my family, provide as safe of a place as possible, and trust God that all of this was part of his plan.
Phil. 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but though PRAYER and SUPPLICATION with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And, the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

LAMENT: a passionate expression of grief or sorrow. God knows your heart. He knows your pain. He knows your fear. You are not hiding anything from him. Let him know. Question him. Talk to him. (Lamentations is a collection of poems describing the destruction of Israel)
I spent two days lamenting. As I would feel myself begin to crumble and fall apart on my husband or struggle to keep it together in front of the kids, I lamented. When I felt fearful as the breath would catch in my throat and chest tighten from panic, I lamented. When the tears welled up and I couldn’t hold them back any longer I lamented.
Lamenting is not simply crying or weeping in sorrow. But instead, it is directing our sorrows immediately to God. This is asking God why, asking God how, asking God how long it will last.
God wants is to lament. He wants us to come to him in our time of sorrow. Otherwise, we’re choosing to not lean on him in our pain.
David wrote Psalm 13: 1 “How long O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?”
In the midst of my lament. I found the morel mushroom.
SUPPLICATE: ask or beg for something earnestly or humbly. If you are struggling to trust God, humbly beg him for trust. If you are trying to control things out of your control, earnestly ask him to guide you in relinquishing control. And if you are finding it hard to fear not, ask him to help you to not be afraid.
Each time I woke up feeling the onset of anxiety and panic, I told God “I trust you.” You are in control. Help me to trust you. Help me to relinquish control. Help me to realize that which is not in my control. Your ways are not mine. Every single time I woke up.
As my husband was leaving for work and I was in full fear and panic, I repeated, I trust you Lord. I asked God to protect him, our employees, and everyone he would come in contact with that day.
Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways, declares the Lord.

What Becs teaches us in this interview.
1. Stay Home with your immediate family.
2. When you do need to go into public, make certain it is a necessity or emergency.
3. In public, practice social distancing: stay 6-8 feet away from others.

taking this situation seriously.
The intent of this interview is to allow you to be prepared, not panicked. Hopefully, people
listening will heed warnings and take steps to being responsible citizens in combating this
pandemic.
The numbers have drastically jumped in the last 24 hours for the US with current numbers at
time of show notes: 3/18/20 5:30 PM CST nearing 10,000.
What Becs teaches us in this interview.
1. Stay Home with your immediate family.
2. When you do need to go into public, make certain it is a necessity or emergency.
3. In public, practice social distancing: stay 6-8 feet away from others.

Today we are talking about Anxiety: Satan’s favorite weapon. When Satan is choosing his weapons for battle, and they’re all lined up in a row, I don’t believe he goes for weaknesses of the flesh first. I believe those come later in the battle. First, he goes for the mind. He knows that when the mind is weakened, it opens the door or him to bring other weapons in.
When we’re anxious:
We let fear paralyze us and forget to fear not
We drink too much eat too much, or overindulge to calm our nerves
We gossip to take attention off ourselves
We lean on people other than our spouses for emotional support because we’re looking for solace
We’re short-tempered with those around us
Most importantly we are disobedient to his call
How Satan uses Anxiety to confuse:
Anxiety is meant to confuse the mind. A confused mind is weak and gives the devil room to roam. Anxiety creates confusion and confusion multiplies anxiety: West Texas dust storm: Anxiety is the wind and confusion is the dust. The harder the wind blows, the more the dust clouds your visibility
Self Doubt
Matt 14:31 “Oh you of little faith why did you doubt?” When we find ourselves doubting, determine who you are doubting
Limiting Beliefs
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Insecurity
Eph. 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them
Fear of Rejection
1 Peter 2:4 “Rejected by Men but in the sight of God chosen and precious
Imposter Syndrome Confusing our identity: -telling us who we are not. God tells us who we are.
1 John 3: 1 God Says we are His

How to Guard your Mind against Anxiety
Trust and believe God is in this
Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid I put my trust in you.
2. Do not lean on your own understanding
Prov 3:5-6 “Acknowledge him and he will make straight your path”
3. Seek out God’s will
John 5:30 “I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me”
4. Understand that anxiety is spiritual warfare:
Eph. 6:12 “For we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”
5. Put on the armor of God
Philippians 4:6 “Do not be anxious about anything but by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God.”

I know it gets overwhelming, but, if people aren’t seeing the content that you’re creating, you’re literally throwing you time and energy away.
A few key takeaways to know:
Your content will not share itself (unless of course it goes viral, but it has to be see for that to ever happen)
KNOW YOUR PLATFORMS
Facebook: friends and family *DON’T do business there or your content will be hidden. Create a Facebook page for all business content where you are going to promote/sell and then boost a post for the most visibility.

IG: personal branding and marketing, make sure you have a business or creator account. The amount of your followers is not as important as your engagement rating. Meaning, gone are the days that you follow/unfollow or buy followers. IG wants to see that your followers are interacting with you posts by liking and/or commenting.


LinkdIn: B2B networking, speakers, authors, podcast hosts: write articles Once week: Blog Posts, Industry News, How-To & Lists, Quick Tips, Business Event Photos, Updates about your business

TikTok: the new wild west of social media: remember when you could put anything you want on Instagram and people saw it? Well, that’s how it is on TikTok. There is no algorithm that actively shuts down your content. You can have zero followers and go viral. However, things to know. The majority of users are 12 year old girls…. And they can be ruthless. That being said, producing as much content as possible on TikTok is key and great fro brand awareness. You don’t have to overthink what you shoot, 15 or 60 second videos that get your message across. Make sure that whatever you post either entertains or educates. *Business account*

YouTube: search engine: great for service-based providers to be seen and heard: coaches, speakers, teachers, trainers, etc…. People search How-To videos on these sites

Pinterest: search engine, people are looking for how to’s hear as well, research keywords and what users are searching for by typing your subject in the search bar and letting it auto-populate key phrases *10 pins per episode. *Business account so that you can track you analytics


The Podcast:
-Recorded on host platform and publishes on Thursdays

A graphic with the guest’s headshot & and a quote are shared on The Power Project IG with my saved hashtags: personal development, women in business, self love, general podcast promotion, etc (keep these in my notes)

Show notes are typed up with a summary of the episode and tangible takeaways are listed in clear “how to steps” on the episode page

Those show notes are then copied and turned into a blog post on my website with the audio recording (SPREAKER) of the episode embedded in the blog post, publishes on Thursday.

The show notes are then shortened with key takeaways & turned into a newsletter (FloDesk) as well that is scheduled for Tuesday morning at 6:24 (best time to email in the morning & more emails are read on Tuesdays than Mondays). The newsletter has a link to iTunes episode & Spotify episode (people can listen on an iPhone or samsung/android). Newsletter readers are also pointed to my Facebook group: Power Squad where we can hang out and get to know each other better

I then take the podcast episode and create Pinterest pins for it. I use Canva for my graphics (which has Pinterest dimensions that you need). These pins give a brief takeaway with “3 things to know” “How to” etc…. Just enough to catch the reader’s attention and encourage them to click for more. The pin then points the reader back to my blog, landing page for my email opt-in, or the episode itself. Each pin is designed with what course of action I want to guide the audience to choose.

If my episodes are business related, I turn the blog into a LinkdIn article with the How-To steps included and circle readers back to the episode

Boutique.

Jackie shares with us how she stumbled upon companies with transparency through a
documentary while shopping for Christmas. She then went on to create a boutique
that strives to make an impact in the world by making sure workers in the supply chain
are protected with healthy working environments, provided a fair living wage, and are
not forced to do anything against their will.
The 10 Principles of Fair Trade:
1. Create opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers
2. Transparency and Accountability
3. Fair Trading Practices
4. Payment of a Fair Price
5. No Child Labor or Forced Labor
6. Commitment to Non-Discrimination, Gender Equality, and Freedom of
Association
7. Ensure Good working condition
8. Provide Capacity Building
9. Promote Fair Trade
10. Respect for the Environment

She also points out that we can all start to see change in the fashion industry if we
demand the brands and the factories work together to bring about change. Jackie
shared with us how when she realized that she needed to pivot in business, she was
able to create the environment her customers desired.

Jackie has taken everything she learned on her entrepreneurial journey and created a
space for other business builders to join in order to mastermind with on another
and create solutions for each other’s obstacles in business.

In Episode #72, I sat down with Brandy Edwards, Empowerment Speaker, Founder of the Self Love Challenge, and self-proclaimed self-love expert. She taught us that self love is a choice and we get to choose to love and accept ourselves. She has early memories of struggling with self-worth, acceptance, and her physical appearance as a young child.
She shared with us how the women that we are surrounded with growing up have the impact of passing down insecurities and the lack of self-love is often times a learned behavior. As she began working with women as an empowerment speaker, she realized that she was not only teaching them self-love but also helping them work through pain from adolescence.
She shared with us her five steps to self love for teens:
5 Steps to Self-Love for Teens:
Identify your super power (what makes you unique?)
Layer on your confidence
Tone down your inner mean girl
Build yourself up as an individual
Create a positive space for brainstorming
She also shared the three steps she personally implements for the Self Love Challenge:
Realize self-love is a lifestyle and includes everything we choose to do and not do.
Make empowering choices.
Take care of yourself mentally: be kind to yourself and retrain your brain to come from a place of love.
Take care of yourself physically: move your body, make nourishing choices, accept your body for what it can do right now.
Choose to surround yourself with people that make you a better person
Brandy challenged our listeners to think about what it is about them that people have said was too much and reminds us to ask our selves what is the one thing that we want to accomplish. She left us with the thought that “It is never too late to start over. You can start over as many times as you want. You have to start somewhere to get anywhere and realize that there are so many ways to get better.”

In Episode #71, I had the opportunity to sit down with Titania Jordan of Bark.Us. IOf you’ve been with me for a minute over here, you know that I have been singing the praises of Bark from the rooftops. I am an avid supporter of this online monitoring app that helps keep track of what my kids are doing on their phones and the internet.
Titania and I discussed the intersection of her baptist background and tech career. She shared how the internet and world of tech breached the protective bubble that she had grown up in, forcing her to look at the world through a wider lens. She talked about her faith and realization that there are questions she will never have answers to.
At the core of the work she does every day, she sees the worst depravity one can imagine, but she teaches us that when you are faced with seeing bad things happen to children, you can either get bogged down by it, or let it fuel your desire to pursue the mission. As a survivor of childhood sexual assault, she holds this work as personal and shares with us that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before the age of 18. In order to change these numbers, we must shed light on it and fight it. Titania and her team are optimistic that they will make an impact and fight this tragedy.
Titania shared with us the importance to lead by example.
“Your kids are going to learn more by watching what you do than listening to you.”
And encourages us to take a look at our behavior. Just like we can ask our kids, Are you in control or is Fortnite, they can ask us, is Mom in control or is Instagram?
Things should know about our kids’ online activity:
There is no profile for predators. They can be the creepy guy in the basement or a trusted pubic servant.
Teach your kids to trust their gut. If it feels off, it’s off.
Your children’s social media accounts should be private, but know that when not monitored, they can change the setting.
Anyone anywhere in the world can video call your child on Instagram
Check your child’s location settings on Snapchat to ensure they are turned off. Otherwise anyone they are connected to can zoom in on the map and see minute details about their location.
Teach your children that the amount of followers does not dictate their worth as a human
If your children have unfettered access to content that allows pornographic material on its platform, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when they will encounter porn.

Titania gives us tips for teaching our kids Safer Online Practices:
Decide as a parent when your child is ready for social media.
Discuss issues with your child that may lead to unhealthy online practices: Do they have FOMO *fear of missing out* or do they suffer from body issues?
Explain to your child why you are hesitant. Discuss the lurking dangers, Help them understand.

Titania ends with reminding us of this one simple fact: “It’s your job to keep them (your kids) safe on this planet: in real life and now in their digital lives.”
Go get this book to discuss porn and sex with your kids: “Good Pictures, Bad Pictures”

Before I interviewed Elisabeth, I joined her and her team for street outreach. I was able to watch her in action as she showed me what it looks like to do what they are doing with the Human Impact.
Elisabeth grew up in one of the wealthiest zip codes in Dallas, and through her lens of privilege never realized what was happening on the streets just a few miles down the road. After losing her job in corporate America, she began a quest to find her purpose in life and realized that she most felt like herself when serving the community of people on the streets. She and I speak about how God can stop us in our tracks in order to truly speak to us in a manner where we are able to hear his call for our lives.
Elisabeth identified friendship as the need that would drive her mission and quickly realized that it would need to be more than just her to really affect change. What started as a volunteer position that fed her soul 7 years ago quickly grew into an organization where she, team members, and volunteers build relationships with people on the streets. As they forge friendships and learn about their new friends, they work through what issues are keeping them on the streets in hopes of eventually helping them transition off the streets and back into society, a place of their own, and employment. The Human Impact has been a thriving organization for the past 4 years and has recently created a partnership with Bonton Farms where people can work on an urban farm and live in homes of their own as a first step along the restoration process.
I encourage you to lean in to Elisabeth’s message of learning to see this population not as “Homeless People” but instead just as people.
She challenges us to ask ourselves the same question she asked herself in the beginning. Who are the homeless? What are my assumptions about the homeless? How can we serve others when we humble ourselves?
Elisabeth discusses her original thoughts of providing a solution for the homeless community.
“Coming with a solution to a problem when I had never experienced homelessness was actually pretty arrogant of me.”
She quickly realized that she needed to lay aside what she thought she was going to the streets to do and instead start listening. She tells us about her friend from he streets that was the first to welcome her into the community. She shares that he was the first to recognize that she didn’t know what she was doing but that he was going to love her anyway. After that first bond was formed, she realized that God was using this community to heal her and teach her to love herself because they accepted her for who she was. We discuss how forging meaningful relationships by sharing our humanity with one another, including our pain and vulnerability is what truly makes us stronger as people.
“Often times, people of privilege are coming to serve the homeless and we don’t realize we can relate to them in such a human way.”

She and I both found the most surprising part of street outreach to be how most of the homeless community choose to focus on the good and beautiful things that God has for them.
Elisabeth brings her husband and children along for outreach because they want their family to be in close proximity to people who are different from them and have different needs and different stories because there is so much life to that. While discussing her children, she tells us that as an Enneagram 1, her greatest desire for her children is for them to remember that they played because it is easy to get lost in the world of perfection and miss those moments.
She gives us 7 Tips for following your purpose in life
Know that following the purpose that is within in you is worth the risk
Don’t let fear keep you from walking your purpose journey.
Don’t let the risks outweigh the purpose for which you were made.
Purpose can be served in both business and the non-profit space. Neither one is more purposeful than the other.
Be willing to take chances and continue to pursue the path of purpose no matter what comes.
Take small risks so that you’re prepared to take the bigger risks when you’re called to
Change how you view failure, learn from it and grow from it.

Elisabeth also shares with us how she has taken lessons from failure and applied them in learning and growing.
5 Ways to Handle Failure
Do a post mortum
Ask yourself what could we have done differently,
what could they have done differently,
Assess what you can do different next time.
What can you take away from that moment to learn for the future.

Brandie is a fellow purpose driven female in the beauty
industry where she has been a licensed aesthetician for 19 years.
Brandie and I find that we have many similarities in life and both enjoy helping women
step into the role that they were created for. Brandie considers herself a Faith Trainer
and helps train women for what they were created for on this planet. She explains that
when we understand faith and God better, we are able to walk in the authority that God
has given us.
We discuss that awful S word (submission) and how it’s not a bad thing when we
understand God’s divine order. In submission, we are able to realize that God is God
and I am not.
“We can strengthen our faith to where we can stop second guessing God and start
living the life that He has called us to; what a magnificent adventure that is. If your faith
is boring, you’re not doing it right because God is not boring.”
Brandi also goes on to discuss how women need to focus more on being authentic and
less on being the “perfect church lady.”
“I know I’m not good enough, but I don’t need to be. If I make room for God to work
through me, the best will show up.”
As Brandie spent time working with women one on one, she began serving breast
cancer survivors and felt the shift that God wanted her to do something more. It was
at a networking event that she realized the importance of owning her voice and
speaking into others.
Brandie shares that there is power and peace in knowing your worth and leaves us with
this takeaway:
Three ways to know your worth:
• Surrender your ability to him.
• Humble yourself under the Holy Spirit.
• Recognize that you are not for everyone.

In Episode #68, I sit down with Lieutenant Kellie Hall as we discuss what makes us powerful as women. Kellie is serving active duty and is a top recruiter in the US Navy. She is not only a woman serving a male dominated leadership role, but she is also a model, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and is competing in the Miss California competition at the end of this month.
The roles that Kellie has found herself in place her in the juxtaposition of femininity and leadership and have helped her create the platform that drives her two part mission in life:
1. Empowering and helping women find their power
2. Shattering the sterotype of people’s expectations.
Growing up, Kellie was a cheerleader, dancer, did track and field and never saw herself in the navy but did dream of being in the senate. Inevitably, she chose the navy because of the personal challenge it presented to her.
“If something is scary, I go for it because that allows the most growth.”
Kellie shares how in the beginning of her naval career, people wanted to put her in a box telling her not to wear make up because she wouldn’t be taken seriously in her career. She faced the same push back when she decided on a whim to try out for the Miss Ohio America Competition. Once again, she saw this as a challenge, but also as a way to connect with likeminded women. She tells us how she had fallen into these positions along her journey but knew that God had pushed her to take action along the path.
“I did not recognize that I was powerful or how to use that power. I kept falling into these areas, and when people told me not to do it, I just said Why Not?..” She suddenly realized that power is not determined by your stature but in the delivery of your message.

Kellie says that people can’t be empowered until they know what makes them powerful which is exactly why she has created a three step process for unlocking the power within:
Three Steps to Unlocking the Power Within:
1. Find the Passion
2. Protect the Power
3. Find a Mentor

Kellie leaves us with her definition of POWER: Utilizing skills and gifts that are given to you by God.

Ashton helps individuals struggling with trauma as well as entrepreneurs get clear on their goals in life, own their power, and take action. She credits her deep understanding of people’s situations and behavior to her personal life lessons and experiences growing up.
Ashton shares how as a little girl she dreamt of becoming a veterinarian or a dancer but realizes these goals may have been imposed upon her rather than what she truly wanted to pursue in life. We take a moment here to discuss our parent’s goals for our lives and what that means to us as adults. She tells us:
“Once we can let go of the need to be approved of by our parents, we really have the freedom to go after our dreams in a way that makes sense to our soul. At the end of the day it’s about love and acceptance and less about validation & approval.”
Ashton discusses with us how she was always passionate about philanthropy and helping others but often times found where her talent would take her, her character could not keep her. She discusses her struggles as a teenager and how she would make decisions that showed that she didn’t truly value her life. Ashton shares with us how the decisions she made presented her as a failure in other peoples eyes, and in turn, that started to become her identity. She says that she felt as if every time she took two steps forward, she consistently took one step back.
"My talent would take me where my character couldn’t keep me I didn’t deem myself worthy.”
Ashton tells us that even in the midst of the fire and turmoil she could recognize the anointing on her life and God‘s work in her journey. Eventually after struggling with her faith for quite some time, she was baptized, left an abusive relationship and began mentoring battered women. She explains to us that this was her point of a literal surrender, and this was where she could see God‘s plan aligning for her life.
“Finding this place of self love and confidence and tapping into my own purpose is why I went through it all.”
She took a job in special ed serving special needs children, has become a life coach, is a motivational speaker, and is soon releasing a social emotional book for teen girls that are struggling with identity self-worth, and value. Having worked with children, Ashton realizes that a young girl’s confidence begins to plummet from the age of 8-14 and hopes that with this book, they can own their beauty and come to a place of self love early in life.

Ashton shares her 3 Greatest Life Lessons with us:
When you lose your joy, you are out of alignment.
Listen to your inner wise woman and quiet the noise.
When experiencing failure, embrace the power off the pivot.

The White out
We are currently enjoying a holiday vacation in a beautiful lodged perched atop a mountain. The lodge has wrap around windows and a view that is breathtaking. From my bedroom, I can see a massive range of pine tree clad mountainous snow capped peaks that extend into the heavens in a serene setting where you can’t tell exactly where the mountains end and the clouds begin. We’ve gazed out the windows watching the sunrise and sunset over this spectacular landscape. However, this morning, we awoke to heavy snowfall and close to a white out situation. All I could see were a few pine trees right outside the window. There were no mountains, forest, or peaks extending into the clouds in the background. Just white, a solid sheet of white. I had to stop and think to myself that so often, we are distracted by the current circumstances that can keep us from seeing the whole vision. The mountains are still there. They are still waiting to be climbed, skiied, and traversed. They haven’t gone anywhere. There is just simply a blanket of snow clouding the view and keeping us from being able to truly see them and the endless possibilities.
HOW THIS APPLIES IN LIFE:
Often times, we cast our vision on the goals we wish to achieve. We decide to start a new career, begin a healthy lifestyle, or venture out onto our very own purpose journey. We write down our goals that we wish to achieve in the future. We create action plans and set time frames. We can feel the excitement of the vision we have casted. We can imagine ourselves at the end goal, seeing the vision come to fruition. And, then, a whiteout begins: A friend or family member says something negative about your vision and the sun becomes a little less bright as the view gets a little less clear and precise. An advisor, investor, or prospective partner tells you no and that it will never work. The snow begins falling and you start to squint to see the top of the mountain. You realize how much hard work this vision is going to take and the snow falls harder. You’re only seeing the mountains closest to you at this point. You realize the financial investment this vision will require of you and before you realize it, the sheets of snow in the form of doubt, insecurity, rejection, and mental exhaustion have completely blanketed the vision in one giant white out.
The vision is still there. It is still waiting for you to bring it to fruition. You have to accept the distractions for exactly what they are: obstacles that will hide your vision momentarily. However, when the snow stops falling, the vision is there. You just have to see beyond it.
TWO STEPS TO A VISION:
Mental: Your vision has developed in your mind. You’ve dreamt it and can see it vivid detail.
Physical: You have to take action in order to achieve your vision.
Most people never get past the mental stage. They see the vision and then let the whiteout shut them down.
The mountains are still there but you have to physically take the steps to fully explore and enjoy all that they have to offer.
Once you can accept the distractions in your life as simply a mental block, you have to put one foot in front of the other and put the work in to achieve your vision.
Not Casting Your Vision Where You Want to Go
I’ve been working with my god daughter this year to help her learn to ski. Last year she did ski school but this year she felt confident enough to take on the mountain without an instructor. We are in a new place and a mountain that she and I don’t know. But, I wanted her to know that I believed in her and she could do it. So, as we disembarked from the life, I went over our plan. I talked to her about the slopes we would be skiing, reminded her to make her big swooping “S’s” and told her to just follow me and do what I did. We took off down the mountain and I was so incredibly proud of how well she was doing and how great she had listened. I told her to keep her eyes on me because, just as her instructor had taught her, where your eyes go, your skis follow. She followed my path like a permanent shadow for the rest of the day. There wasn’t one turn I made that she didn’t take as well. When I sped up, she sped up. When I stopped, she stopped. However, along the way, I forgot to heed my own advice. We were making our way down a bit of a difficult blue that had uneven terrain with piles of fresh powder as well as a few patches of ice. Very aware of the two little girls that were following my tracks, I was doing my best to stay on the smoothest path possible. As I was trying to avoid the powdery mounds, I didn’t quite make the turn as smooth as possible, crossed the back of my skis up, and couldn’t get them uncrossed. I was quickly lying on the ground on my back, skis uphill, and my goddaughter standing there watching me as I heaved myself back up. I had broken the most important rule. Don’t look down. When you look down, you go down. My goddaughter wasn’t on the ground because she wasn’t looking down. She was looking up, at me and following where I went. (I’ll also add that I was thrilled that she was able to stop quickly and not plow into me. That is all on her here!)
When I looked down the mountain and at the trail I was skiing, that’s where I went. I didn’t focus on my current location and the ground below me because that wasn’t where I was going. I was going down the mountain so that is where my focus needed to remain.
HOW THIS APPLIES IN LIFE:
Cast your vision on where you are going.
Find a leader that has already accomplished the goal that you wish to accomplish and follow them.
Set your eyes on your future vision and not your current postion.
Our vision was to reach the bottom of the mountain and hop on another lift to find another slope to conquer. In order to accomplish that, I had to set my focus on the vision and she had to set hers on me. Together, we reached our goals.
Unforseen Dangers & Chasing The Wrong Things:
We were enjoying a lazy New Year’s Day morning in the lodge. Some of the group had headed out for skiing while the rest of us had chosen to stay near the fireplace as the snow fell. The kids at the house decided to bundle up and head outside for some snowman building, snowball fights, and sledding down the driveway. We adults huddled around a table near the window, sipping coffee and mimosas, while we watched the kids play in the snow. As we were visiting, I mentioned that on one trail that we ran the day before, I had seen signs posted warning of a moose in the area and how they can be aggressive. We all laughed about this because we knew the odds of seeing a moose were incredibly rare. It was literally less than 5 minutes later when my best friend in the middle of recording the kids playing in the snow shouted “There’s a moose!” We all jumped to the window to see much to our horror, a moose charging up the driveway and hillside towards our kids. We scrambled around the large house trying too find the quickest way possible to warn the kids and scare the moose off. As we tried to determine the quickest way to warn the kids, the moose turned from having a stare down with the oldest, and decided to charge towards the house. The kids, unaware that these are aggressive dangerous animals, began running after him. As my husband bolted out a lower level side door to shoo the animal away, we opened windows from the upstairs shouting at the kids to get in the house and stay away from the animal because it was dangerous. We were able to safely get the kids in the house and shoo the moose off into the trees where it plopped down and staked its territory. The entire event was both terrifying, hilarious, and exhilarating. I marveled at the innocence of the kids and how they never realized they were in danger.
HOW THIS APPLIES IN LIFE:
How often do we see an opportunity present itself that is actually an unforeseen danger. It swiftly appears along the journey of reaching our vision and we can’t help but take notice. It’s impressive, grand, and like nothing we’ve ever seen before. We want to grab a hold and welcome it into our journey. However, often times, these “opportunities” are detrimental to your vision. They can cost you time, money, and harm. They can send you chasing after the wrong things and further distance you from achieving your vision. You need to be cautious before accepting people or things that want to further your vision in life. You need to be aware of the unforeseen dangers. You need to educate yourself.
If you are starting a new business, build a team of advisors that you trust that you can go to for advice along the way, that will help you understand the parts of business that you struggle with. But, do your research while assembling this team.
If you are beginning a health journey, don’t accept everyone and everything that claim to help you along the way. Ask those you trust for recommendations as to what has helped them. Find what is best for you and your personal journey.
If you are embarking on a journey of purpose, make sure that you stay true to what you value. Seek out mentorship. And, while I am an advocate of expanding your network and welcoming new people in, make certain that those you bring alongside your journey have the best intentions for your vision.
Bottom line, the world is full of moose and they are highly aggressive animals. Do not chase after them.

As we embark on the first day of a new decade, I hope you have cast your vision for 2020. I hope you have set your goals, and I hope that you are able to identify distractions that may hinder your vision along the way.

The White out
We are currently enjoying a holiday vacation in a beautiful lodged perched atop a mountain. The lodge has wrap around windows and a view that is breathtaking. From my bedroom, I can see a massive range of pine tree clad mountainous snow capped peaks that extend into the heavens in a serene setting where you can’t tell exactly where the mountains end and the clouds begin.

Annette has a widely varied background in her
career from working in the travel industry as a flight attendant to serving as a
diplomat at the American Embassy in London, where she hosted 23 Secretary of
State visits, the G8 Summit, NATO meetings, and multiple presidential visits. While
she found her passion in the networking and relationship building aspect of those
careers, she realized that she enjoyed connecting people and meeting needs. She
has taken that passion and turned it into a career as a speaker’s agent where she is
able to promote speakers and match the right speakers with the right audience.

Annette shares with us how Arianna Huffington and William McCraven were two of the
most impactful speakers she has had the privilege of knowing and how she has a
desire to bring the right people to the right stages to impact more lives. Her vision for
building a speaker representation consultancy company was to be able to connect the
right people who aligned with the way that she values business and making a positive
impact in the world. Annette first had the idea of building this company while watching
a documentary about Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. She realized that while Dr. Dre was the
artist, Jimmy Iovine was the force behind the artist that connected him with the right
opportunities. I loved that this was her Ah-Ha moment when she knew that much like
Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre, she too wanted to sell speakers, but a different kind all
together!
“I didn’t want to be Dr. Dre, but I sure as heck wanted to be Jimmy Iovine
Annette shares her 3 tips with us for expanding how speakers can see the value in a
speaking activity rather than just the income, or lack thereof, it generates.
3 WAYS TO REALIZE THE VALUE OF A SPEAKING ACTIVITY:
1. Look beyond the payment of a speech. Focus on the impact you can make on
other’s lives with the message
2. Connect with the audience on an emotional level in order to build community and
broaden your reach.
3. Identify how the experience will positively impact and further your mission or goal.

Annette has a widely varied background in her
career from working in the travel industry as a flight attendant to serving as a
diplomat at the American Embassy in London, where she hosted 23 Secretary of
State visits, the G8 Summit, NATO meetings, and multiple presidential visits. While
she found her passion in the networking and relationship building aspect of those
careers, she realized that she enjoyed connecting people and meeting needs. She
has taken that passion and turned it into a career as a speaker’s agent where she is
able to promote speakers and match the right speakers with the right audience.

Annette shares with us how Arianna Huffington and William McCraven were two of the
most impactful speakers she has had the privilege of knowing and how she has a
desire to bring the right people to the right stages to impact more lives. Her vision for
building a speaker representation consultancy company was to be able to connect the
right people who aligned with the way that she values business and making a positive
impact in the world. Annette first had the idea of building this company while watching
a documentary about Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. She realized that while Dr. Dre was the
artist, Jimmy Iovine was the force behind the artist that connected him with the right
opportunities. I loved that this was her Ah-Ha moment when she knew that much like
Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre, she too wanted to sell speakers, but a different kind all
together!
“I didn’t want to be Dr. Dre, but I sure as heck wanted to be Jimmy Iovine
Annette shares her 3 tips with us for expanding how speakers can see the value in a
speaking activity rather than just the income, or lack thereof, it generates.
3 WAYS TO REALIZE THE VALUE OF A SPEAKING ACTIVITY:
1. Look beyond the payment of a speech. Focus on the impact you can make on
other’s lives with the message
2. Connect with the audience on an emotional level in order to build community and
broaden your reach.
3. Identify how the experience will positively impact and further your mission or goal.

while simultaneously building her media company. She is passionate
about helping others not make the same mistakes she has along the
business path, and in her free time, she volunteers at her church.
Rachel and I discuss her two main focuses when it comes to business
and life, and the church.
1. Failure as an imperative growth tool
2. The Power of Obligation and how you can live your life free of other people’s
opinions.
We discuss Rachel’s childhood growing up as a preacher’s kid and the pressure to look
right and act right that came along with that while she also shares with us her
experience in bible college, leaving a church, and going through a church split. She
took it to church in this episode sharing how people in the church tend to feel like they
have to have it all together and are never really allowed to just be themselves but that’s
not really who Jesus was. He was the leader that stooped down and stopped men
from stoning adulterous women. She talked about how she feels as if God is sparking
a revival and is not on the mission of a cruise ship but rather a rescue boat.
Rachel went on to discuss her failures in business and what she learned from them.
She gave us her Three Steps to Moving on in Business after failure:
3 Steps for Overcoming Failure in Business:
1. OWN IT: You have to own that you failed and pull yourself up from the boot straps.
Then you have to realize that failure is truly your most important growth tool.
• Meditate/Pray/Take a walk: think about why you failed
2. DECIDE WHAT THE NEXT STEP IS:
• Relaunch
• Different Industry
1
• Research Customers: Who are they, what do they want?
3. Launch your Product/Service in spite of previous failure
• Do it scared. “Listen through the fear”. You will never know what all the steps
are but you to take the first one.

Madison discusses how she has sought out community through social media and built
a platform for impact. She tells us how it doesn’t matter whether you’re an introvert or
extrovert, we were all built for community and learning from one another.
Madison had so many great quotes in this episode.
“I wanted to go on this quest of fearlessly chasing my dreams and not letting fear hold
me back to be able to give these tools to other people who may be in the same space
of feeling stuck.”
“Whether you want to be an intern or a CEO, you have to allow yourself the grace to be
a beginner.”
“I knew that God had placed these giant dreams on my heart of what my life could look
like if I started stepping out in faith instead of letting other things hold me back.”
“If your mission is to prove yourself to people, then of course you’re going to have
imposter syndrome.”

The 5 Areas to finding Purpose Every Day: How can I truly step into who I was
made to be right now and not just when the waters are calm? How can I show up and
be present and appreciate where I’m at right now?
1. IDENTITY: Knowing who I was and who I was going to root myself in when the
storms came.
2. KNOWING YOUR WHY: Why are you giving up your time, money, energy, time
away from family?

3. BEING STRATEGIC WITH MAKING A GAME PLAN : If you aim at nothing, you will
hit it every time. If you can create a game plan for the next 5 steps, you can give
yourself grace needed to be okay with the step you are on in your journey. This will
provide the confidence of knowing that you made it to the step you are on and can
make it to the next step.
4. BE WILLING TO TAKE A RISK: You have to quit letting fear hold you back and step
out in faith.
5. COMMUNITY: While you are chasing dreams and taking risks, the community
element will let you know that there are other people out there that believe in you,
will hold you accountable, and will remind you who you are and why you are doing
this.

them to take this time of the month to harness energy, slow down, and allow time for self care.
Cassandra shares with us how growing up in rural Utah led to her being disconnected from her
body and experiencing great sadness which eventually led to a toxic relationship and being
sexually assaulted. She realized that she had to take steps to change and not blame others for

I love conferences but the biggest mistake I see people make is that they don’t take action after a convention or conference. I see people that are so caught up int he experience that they forget to utilize the conference as the tool it is.

At the conference, you should have networked with intention. You hopefully exchanged business cards, phone numbers, and added each other on social media. Keep the conversation going. Stay connected with the community you have been immersed in.
Whether you are attending a women’s conference, personal development conference, or business conference. These are your people. They are likeminded individuals with similar interests and goals in life.
Find the ones that live in close proximity and schedule a follow up. Chances are, these people will help keep you motivated and focused.
Follow the hashtag that was used for that conference in order to make sure you are connecting with others that you may have missed at the conference.

1. Go over notes: Review your information.
1. What stuck out to you, what lit a fire, what did you highlight? What was the biggest takeaway you had from the conference? Was there an “Aha moment?”
2. Organize these thoughts in one document. This is where I take my handwritten highlighted notes and transfer them into a document on my computer in order to have them easily accessible for future trainings or referencing.

2. Follow the speakers: these are your mentors whether you know it or not. Continue this education.
1. If they have a podcast, subscribe immediately. (rate & review the podcast as well)
2. Follow them on social media. Chances are, they’re just as motivating online as they are on stage.
3. Buy the books.

3. What is the number one thing that you realized you weren’t doing but should be? Why is this relevant? How will it greatly improve your life.
1. Did you realize your mental block that is getting in the way of your success? You need to work on mindset. Do the deep dive here. Lean into every area you need to in order to develop the mindset it takes to achieve your goals: Surround yourself with those that will encourage this, read all the books, listen to all the podcasts, create your morning routine, focus on developing the growth mindset. Whatever it takes.
2. Did you realize that you need to focus on time management? Get intentional about your schedule. Time block and organize your days.


4. Decide what pro-active step will deliver the most positive results. Monetary
1. If you are at a company convention: Do you have a new product? That product needs to be brought to your market to generate sales. This is more important than learning an entirely new marketing technique. Get the information out about that product/program/etc.., whether you know the ingredients or all of the details, build value in the product itself. Educate your community as to why they need that product and how it will benefit them. Do not get stuck in analysis paralysis here. Remember, if you don’t know the ingredients or particular details, you can always look that answer up.

2. You most likely had ideas at a women’s conference or personal development conference. Did you dream of hosting a ladies bible study. Did you think of a women’s retreat? Did you have the idea for a team training? Put that plan on paper & action. Begin talking to your community about this idea. Poll your audience. Ask for suggestions, recommendations, the best time to have the event. Build excitement around this idea.
3. Realized that you need to add an offer to your current business? Create the action plan for what that looks like.

5. Now, I want to speak to those that attend Business Conferences primarily. Often times it is 100% like drinking from a firehose. All the information is given, you write furiously, and you’re so excited for the future. You go home with all your new ideas and think: Okay, I have to build an email list, create a landing page, create a giveaway for the landing page, use Canva for the giveaway, download canva, learn how to use canva and how to resize pics. Oh wait, I have to learn how to take good quality pics with great lighting for Instagram and post over there at least once a day. Speaking of that, I need to update my bio with my new link tree information. Oh, and I need to start writing articles on LinkdIn. But, I need to have a podcast first, so that I have information to share over there. Which reminds me that I don’t even know how to record a podcast and I need to order one of those mics which plugs into my phone. Also, I need to learn YouTube so that I can start creating some coaching videos to build out my following and create a course.

*Get the picture? Sound familiar? I have been there. In all honesty, it’s something I fight on a daily basis. All of this is important to business. All of these are crucial marketing platforms. However, as a mighty team of 1 and a part time assistant, I can personally tell you that you can not do all the things at once. You have to break it up into a plan and this goes back to what will deliver the most desired results the quickest.

* Work on one goal at a time. Break it into 12 weeks.
WEEK ONE: You should know your brand at this point. If you don’t, now is the time to lean into it. Decide what 5 topics represent you and your brand. What do you want to be known for? This is not a logo and a color scheme. Refer to podcast episode #49: Branding with Brandi where I talk about what a brand is not: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-project-podcast/id1438323339?i=1000447516208 I have included a Branding Bootcamp Guide as well on the blog or you can get it directly from the show notes,—-> https://mailchi.mp/6e709ebaba74/brandingbootcamp

WEEK TWO: This is the easiest and will get people invested in your mission: Push content out on social media. Schedule social media posts for the next 30 days. Planoly is a great scheduling app for IG.
WEEK THREE: Build a website (if necessary) I use Weebly and the templates make it very user friendly, plus I appreciate the built in options & upgrades. E-commerce and automated email marketing are both user friendly.
WEEK FOUR: An email list is crucial. But, it takes time and is going to take time to build out. Spend a solid week creating email content for the actual audience you currently have. You should have an introduction email that is sent as soon as someone subscribes to your list. This should be the email version of a conversation you would have a ta cocktail party. Who you are, what you do, what you enjoy, and why they want to hang out with you. If you don’t have a podcast, blog, or youtube channel to direct them to, find ways to educate, entertain, or offer value. Let them know what you are working on and your future ideas so that they have a reason to come back and read your emails. Give them your takeaways from the conference you just attended. Share with them your favorite cold weather recipe. This is about nurturing your audience. Once again, this is not sponsored, but I use Weebly for my automated email. There are plenty of Youtube videos and podcasts about this. Listen to anything Jenna Kutcher or Amy Porterfield put out about this.
WEEK FIVE: Create a giveaway for a Landing Page :Mail Chimp or FloDesk will work for automated emails if your website host does not have an automated email/landing page option. I use Canva to create my PDF giveaways. This should be something that adds value to someone’s life for free and in exchange they subscribe to your email list. It should clearly convey the value you can add to their lives but in a concise manner. This can be tips over: cooking, parenting, workout, travel, business, whatever is true to your personal brand. For instance, Check out a post on the blog where I gave away a guide to Flying with Kids: or reference the show notes——>> https://mailchi.mp/67863a4d8fd3/huxjprbopo

WEEK SIX-TWELVE: Podcast or YouTube Channel: Create your platform. Do the research it takes to learn about broadcasting on that platform & don’t get overwhelmed. Done is better than perfect. Once again, you can learn all this for free online. To hear what I first did when starting a podcast, check out episode # 44 What to Know When Starting a Podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-project-podcast/id1438323339?i=1000444761807

Follow the hashtag that was used for that conference in order to make sure you are connecting with others that you may have missed at the conference.

1. Go over notes: Review your information.
1. What stuck out to you, what lit a fire, what did you highlight? What was the biggest takeaway you had from the conference? Was there an “Aha moment?”
2. Organize these thoughts in one document. This is where I take my handwritten highlighted notes and transfer them into a document on my computer in order to have them easily accessible for future trainings or referencing.

2. Follow the speakers: these are your mentors whether you know it or not. Continue this education.
1. If they have a podcast, subscribe immediately. (rate & review the podcast as well)
2. Follow them on social media. Chances are, they’re just as motivating online as they are on stage.
3. Buy the books.

3. What is the number one thing that you realized you weren’t doing but should be? Why is this relevant? How will it greatly improve your life.
1. Did you realize your mental block that is getting in the way of your success? You need to work on mindset. Do the deep dive here. Lean into every area you need to in order to develop the mindset it takes to achieve your goals: Surround yourself with those that will encourage this, read all the books, listen to all the podcasts, create your morning routine, focus on developing the growth mindset. Whatever it takes.
2. Did you realize that you need to focus on time management? Get intentional about your schedule. Time block and organize your days.


4. Decide what pro-active step will deliver the most positive results. Monetary
1. If you are at a company convention: Do you have a new product? That product needs to be brought to your market to generate sales. This is more important than learning an entirely new marketing technique. Get the information out about that product/program/etc.., whether you know the ingredients or all of the details, build value in the product itself. Educate your community as to why they need that product and how it will benefit them. Do not get stuck in analysis paralysis here. Remember, if you don’t know the ingredients or particular details, you can always look that answer up.

2. You most likely had ideas at a women’s conference or personal development conference. Did you dream of hosting a ladies bible study. Did you think of a women’s retreat? Did you have the idea for a team training? Put that plan on paper & action. Begin talking to your community about this idea. Poll your audience. Ask for suggestions, recommendations, the best time to have the event. Build excitement around this idea.
3. Realized that you need to add an offer to your current business? Create the action plan for what that looks like.

5. Now, I want to speak to those that attend Business Conferences primarily.

philanthropist who helps meet needs within online communities. Brandi actually met Jennylynn
in a Facebook group and the two have built an online relationship since. Jennylynn discusses
mortality motivation as she shares her story of childhood trauma and her suppressed
memories being triggered from a high level traumatic incident with a student on campus while
serving as a Resident Director at a Bible College. She shares the pain of having to walk
through season, developing PTSD from the event, and her mental health rapidly spiraling as
she repeatedly attempted and had no desire to live.
Jennylynn vulnerably shares her story of redemption through God’s grace after hitting rock
bottom. She tells us how God used her husband and step children to help restore her
physically, mentally, and spiritually. We hear from Jennylynn about her role as a step mom and
how her family is breaking all stigmas attached to blended families and co-parenting. She
shares about her own insecurities and feelings of inadequacy as a step mom and how she
learned to overcome them.
She shares with us her struggle with autoimmune disease, her family’s unique living situation,
and their commitment to living debt-free in order to accommodate her health crisis. Jennylynn
tells us that nearly dying has taught her to live differently and cheer her friends on from the
sidelines
We also learn how Jennylynn is committed to following Jesus, loving his people, changing
communities, and ultimately changing the world.
Here are a few of some of our favorite quotes from Jennylynn in this episode:
“This was the example that Jesus set for us; how we love people and love them well. This is
why we’re here. Shouldn’t we just do this?”
I”’m not here to impress you. I want someone to catch the vision and do this. If you catch the
vision and we all start doing this. This is what changes the world. “
“What if we all start advocating for each other? This is what changes communities. This is
what changes the world.”

This week, I had the honor of sitting down with Teisha Simmons, Mother, Entrepreneur, Small Business Owner, Wife, and Daughter.

After hearing Teisha speak as a leader at my skincare company’s conference, I knew that my audience needed to hear her story!

Teisha’s story is one of true git and overcoming adversity. She shares her story being paralzyed at the age of 15, overcoming the anxiety, depression, and insomnia that followed, learning more about her faith through the trials.

She shares with us how she completed her Master’s in Psychology and was required to write a 96 page thesis by using a head mouse and typing 6 words per minute. Teisha tells us that in order to accomplish this goal, she had to say no to other things and that any good goal is worth pushing through for.

I asked for her opinion of how to treat someone going through such a trial and she shared that people will give us signs when they are ready but until then, we need to just be there for them and sit with them. At the end of the day, just want their hurt acknowledged.

Teisha encourages us to build ourselves up now because at some point, life will knock the breath out of us and reminds us that if she can do what she has done without using 90% of her body, we can all do anything we set our mind to.

If you are in any type of network marketing, direct sales, multi-level marketing, or consumer connected business, this is the episode for you. I give you a tangible action plan for growing a purpose-filled business.

Develop an ACTION PLAN:
1. Go back to the beginning. Where was your passion, where was your excitement, where was your zeal? Where was your desire to share this opportunity with everyone? Go back there and lets create the action plan of what it looks like to share this with everyone now.

2. Choose which avenue of sharing the business works for your network and craft your action plan around that. If it’s events, go all in on those. If it is One on one, coffee & convos, do those. If you are an Instagram influencer, go all in there.

3. Find which platform works for your market. A perfectly curated Instagram feed doesn’t speak to stay at home housewife. This may speak to a millennial, but a stay at home mom wants to see your authentic life on Facebook.

4. Develop a business mindset through personal development.

5. Find the right type of team members & market to them.

WHAT NOT TO DO
Do not duplicate. **Imitate**
Duplicate=. exactly like something else, especially through having been copied.
Imitate= to follow as a pattern, model, or example
Copy or pasting is as bad as trying to be someone else that you’re not. What you do need to do is find the actions that someone successful in your company has taken. Follow those steps. Don’t copy them. Instead, find your own way along the same path.

2. DO NOT SPAM
Don’t add people to Facebook that you don’t know without having had previous interaction with them.
Don’t send “cold-call” messages immediately without forming some type of relationship.

I had the pleasure of interviewing my real life friend, Jessica Brinkley about her spiritual growth journey, life as a preacher’s kid, and how to heal your heart in Jesus. She chats college, breakups, being called to purpose, God radically revealing himself to her, and how she had to listen closely to God’s voice for her spiritual and physical health. She shares with us how she was called to fight human trafficking at a young age and has not let fear stand in her way of speaking out about the injustices.

Jessica shares with us about her recent travels to Cambodia and Thailand, her work on the ground there, and what it looks like to be like Christ to to others, but not force Christ on anyone.

This lady is the gold standard of walking in purpose as a young single daughter of God. I know you’re going to love her.

1. Establish Expectations for The School Year:
At School:
What grades are required? What privileges are lost if those grades aren’t met?
Responsibilities: What does that look like for different ages?
At Home:
What household chores are expected throughout the week?
-Lunches packed night before.
-Unpack backpacks and set out notes/reminder binders/things to be signed after school
-Help with laundry, dishes, and kitchen clean up.

2. Remind Them of their Identity (especially in Junior High where they start to find identity in peers rather than family )
-Who are they?
-What traits make them leaders?
-What unique gifts did God give them to use to bring glory to Him?
-Let them know that they are not defined by their athletic or academic abilities. While greatness is admirable to strive for, who God created them to be, is far more important in life.

-What are their morals?
-What temptations will they face? What does this look like at different ages? 5th grade: lying about homework and bullying, 8th grade more serious temptations, vaping, drugs, sex, alcohol, porn….

-Re-establish Boundaries: Remind them of both their personal boundaries as well as respecting other’s boundaries. Have an age appropriate discussion about inappropriate actions and how to know when something doesn't feel right.

-Remind them of what characteristics make them a leader for Christ.
-Stand up for personal beliefs.
-Embrace their unique gifts.
-Be themselves and don’t change for others
-Be proud of who they were created to be.
-Give God the Glory
-Witness to Others: take up for the underdog, make the new kid feel welcome, speak up for the bullied.
-Be Humble & Kind

3. Ways to Stay Organized throughout the school year:
-Sync Your Calendars
-ICal: One address for all family events synced with hubs & one address for strictly kid events synced with hubs & kiddos.
-Cozi Family App: Never tried it, but hear it works wonders to sync all things family.

-Set Bedtime on Kids’ Phones: Set it for 15 minutes before bedtime so that they can know it’s time to wrap up whatever activity they are doing: practice piano, watch videos, read, etc…
Parental Restrictions on Kids phones: Set Parameters on Data & Screen time usage to turn off at bedtime & then turn back on at whatever time you wish the next day.

-What to do with ALL The Things that come home from school:
-Immediately enter dates into phone with notes & throw paper notes away
-Artwork: Download the ArtKive app: it creates digital files of your kids' artwork, stores it in a cloud file & you can order scrapbooks.

4. SAFETY:
-360 LIFE: Great Family Monitoring app
-BARK: monitors who your children are talking to and what they’re talking about. *Must have Apple/Android/or Amazon device:
-Monitors Social Media, Text Messages, Email, YouTube, Safari, and DropBox
-Monitors & Detects risks through algorithms that detect cyberbullying, violence, drugs & alcohol, self-harm & suicide, sexual content & sexting…so that you don’t have to manually read every message and it's only $9/month:
-For Children under 10 years of age:

By the age of 22, she had plans for the organization in Kenya.  At 24, she had an active ministry and deed in hand for the hospital.  When she reached the ripe age of 25 she had seen her vision come to fruition in an operating hospital that was at full capacity.  

After two years of operating, she now has dreams of opening 88 more hospitals.

She shares about the struggle of devastation and death that she sees in a daily basis but the beauty that she sees God doing within the midst of it.

Amy also talks about how she is using a non-traditional business model to fund her family while growing the business and is currently modeling that structure for her ambassador program.

Podcasting: What to know when starting…And what I wish I would have known.

What are your goals with your podcast
To inspire/educate/entertain is great, but what are tangible goals
How many subscribers do you want?
How many downloads do you want?
SMART goals 30/60/90

Solo Episodes or Guests

Listen to your audience to decide if they want interviews or solos.

What to Send Guests before an interview
Time block with Calendly the times you are available for interviews.
Email link to guests so that they can schedule an interview that’s convenient for both of you.
Email guest thanking them for agreeing to the show. Include subjects that you would like to cover on the episode. If you have specific questions to ask, list them. Give main goal of the episode. What do you want your listeners to gain?
Let them know how you will contact them and what they need to know for recording For example, do they need to download an app, should they be on a desktop or their phone? Do they need headphones?

Will you break for holidays or Summer?
Two schools of thought on this
1. You’re in control & have the freedom to set your schedule
2. You have to show up every single week consistently to build listener base.

How often will you publish?
Weekly, BI-weekly, Monthly?
How many episodes will be in a season?
What day/time do you post?
Not same time zone or day for all listeners
In the beginning I started out with Tuesdays but changed to Thursday. Tuesdays are hectic for me & while I have episodes pre-scheduled now, if something changes that week & I want to bump an episode in order to publish something more relevant, I have time to recored, edit, & upload.
The show posts at 6:00 AM so that people can listen while doing an early morning workout or on their commute.
My episodes also average 35 minutes because the average commute is about 30 minutes. Listeners can easily speed up to 1.5x listening speed

Show Notes:
Type up your episode first whether in script form or bullet point, and then transfer to show notes. Why are notes important? People hear things in your episode they later want to go back and look up. It’s easier to scan the notes than re-listen to the episode.
In Notes, make sure to include links for guests to be reached, or merchandise to be purchased. If there is a discount code, include it in the notes.
A PDF/ downloadable Freebie is a great resource for your audience and can easily be converted from notes.
Transfer notes into a workbook or guide that your audience can later download.
This is a way to link the episode to your podcast or even build your email list while giving your listeners something tangible to continue the conversation.

Pitching your show to guests
Create a bio for your show that tells what your mission is about and what your goal is for your audience each week. If you are brand new, don’t be intimidated by download numbers, etc. If your mission is strong enough and you can let your guest know why your audience needs to hear from them, your guest will say yes.
If it is a big name guest, make certain that you offer to promote their book, workshop, conference, etc…. Free advertising is golden!

Promoting the podcast
After recording, send guests the link and ask them to please promote and tag you on all of their social media platforms. If they have a website or newsletter suggest they share the episode there.
SELF PROMOTE: social media, in person, via email. Tell everyone about your podcast AND ask for reviews as well as subscriptions. This is what helps your ratings, gets you to the top of the charts, increases downloads and brings on more guests.

https://brandivoth.myrandf.com/solution-tool]]>1865falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/power-project-episode-42-traveling-with-kids--18404780After a vacation that left us homesick and missing our kiddos 8 years ago, my husband and I vowed to take our kiddos on as many vacations with us as possible from then on.
Over the past few years, we have done just that. So, I thought I would pass on my favorite travel hacks I've learned while traveling with kids.

First up is flying: I can totally understand how you could be freaked out by the thought of flying with children! I understand. I was too. However, I firmly believe that the younger you start flying with your kids, the easier it will be. Our kiddos were on planes before they were a year old and now are seasoned champs. Here are some tips I've learned along the way about flying with
kids.

TAKE OFF & LANDING
How to keep their ears from hurting:
INFANT: Nurse or provide a bottle for these times
TODDLER: Bring chewy snacks such as gummies
BIG KID: Bring gum

TRAVELING THROUGH THE AIRPORT
INFANT: A wearable wrap or carrier is the easiest way to get through the airport with a baby.
TODDLER: An umbrella stroller is the easiest to get through security and can be checked at the jet bridge. Rideable luggage is great as well!
LITTLE/BIG KID: A personal backpack with pillow, blanket & activities that are airplane friendly.

The most important thing to remember is that you are not the first person to fly with children. If you are seated next to a grumpy person that doesn't deal well with your fussy baby, that's on them. As long as you are doing your best to keep your child happy and entertained, you're doing your job. However, you might
offer to buy them a cocktail...

ACTIVITIES TO TAKE
IPADS: Make sure these are charged & have the airline app installed beforehand.
KID HEADPHONES: Earbuds hurt their little ears.
STICKER BOOKS: not coloring books as the crayons roll all over the plane.

Teach your kiddos the value of looking up at the flight attendant and saying please and thank you. A polite child that acknowledges the staff has earned both my kids and myself "on the house" treats. Kids with manners are becoming few and far between. Make sure yours are part of the select few and it might
just earn them a cookie.

Bottom line, I get it. I know that flying with kids can be stressful and exhausting, but at the end of the day, you will be so grateful that you took the trip and made the memories. Just don't forget to pack your patience.....and an airplane bottle of wine for when you feel like you might lose your mind.

https://mailchi.mp/67863a4d8fd3/huxjprbopo

WHERE TO STAY:
Book a VRBO or Air B&B rather than an expensive hotel at a resort. This will save money by providing a kitchen you can cook in, plus you have more room to spread out.
Get a condo so that you will have access to swimming pools, grills, etc.

Hotels:
Embassy Suites with adjoining rooms are great for families and have plenty of space to spread out. Ask for mini fridge if you need to refrigerate medicine, formula, or breast milk.
Most hotels have rollaway cribs and you don't have to bring one from home.
You can also request a microwave if your room doesn't have one.

3 TIPS TO KNOW WHEN TRAVELING INTERNATIONALLY:
Keep everyone’s passports together in a zipper pouch inside of your carry on. Make copies of passports and place in separate carry on (husband’s) just in case something happens.

Customs lines are long. Bring snacks and give the kids electronics. Most of the time, if you and your kids are polite, an attendee will usher you into a less crowded line to get the kids through.

Different cultures = Cultural Differences and this can mean topless women on beaches. Explain to your children that it's just their culture and to turn their eyes away.

ROAD TRIPS:
Use these as a time to teach kids historical facts
Google places along the way and tell kids what happened throughout history in that place. Teach them about the geography of the places they visit. Make sure they understand the area they are visiting.

Buy groceries and eat healthy along the way:
Pack lunches and snacks in car. Stop at roadside park to have a picnic.
Stock up on prepared frozen ready to cook meats and vegetables.
Crunchy snacks: almonds, cashews, apples, pickles are great for road trips.

Parenting 101:
• A guide to New Mamas
• Breastfeed/Bottlefeed
• Co-sleep/sleep train
• Advice from well-meaning morons
Growing as a Parent
• Limit your child’s activities
• Stand firm in conviction
• Let them bleed
• Be present
• Only say yes to what you want to
• DO NOT throw a video game, phone, or tablet at your kid and expect it to raise
them.
Parenting teens
As Teens go through Puberty, their brains change.
• Become emotional versus rational
• Experience fear & anxiety
• Testosterone’s job is to re-organzie the brain during puberty
• Seek acceptance & identity in peers rather than family.
• Need to know they are loved & accepted regardless. Unconditional grace.
• Brain begins to evolve & kids start thinking of future plans. Ask them questions
to encourage a growth mindset:
• QUESTIONS TO ASK TEENS
• Where do you want to go to college?
• What do you want to study in college?
• If you could have any job in the world what would it be?
• If you could live anywhere where would it be?
• What does your future home look like?
• If you have $1 million to support any cause or charity of your choice what will it
be?
• What do you want to be known for?
• Do you want to get married?
• How many kids do you plan to have?
Raising Men
SPEAKING TO BOY MOMS
• Your boys will become men, and hopefully husbands and fathers. They
have to learn how to become a Man from their Dads. We have to cut the
apron strings and let them grow alongside their fathers.
• We also teach them how to treat women by how we teach them to treat
us. It is our job to teach our sons to be gentlemen and what is expected
of them. Chivalry is not dead, but somewhere along the way, women quit
making it be important. If it matters to you, teach it to your sons.
• Open doors, say please, thank you, , & Yes Ma’am, kiss your
Mama!
• Teach them the value of hard work. Work hard. Play hard.
• Attach them to Purpose. Get them involved in serving
others. Teach them to be kind & advocate for others.
• Point out their admirable qualities that makes them who they
are. Tell them positive leadership characteristics they have.
Speak Life.
• Don’t be afraid to talk about hard subjects: they will respect
you for treating them as humans.

Kindra Hall is President and Chief Storytelling Officer at Steller Collective, a consulting firm focused on the strategic application of storytelling to today’s communication challenges.
What began as a storytelling assignment in 5th grade, grew into a passion for not only telling stories, but a mastery for teaching others the methods and science of storytelling so they can better tell their own.

She was a National Champion storyteller (yes, they have those), member of the Board of Directors of the National Storytelling Network and has her master’s degree in communications where she conducted original research studying the role of storytelling in defining and revealing organizational culture.

Her much anticipated book, Stories That Stick, will be released by Harper Leadership in the fall of 2019. She gives us an insider secret that it will be out September 24.

Kindra lives in Manhattan with her husband, young son and daughter. When she is not traveling around the world speaking, Kindra can usually be found at spin class or in Central Park with her family.

To that Mama scrolling through Facebook on Mother's Day seeing everyone's beautiful family pictures and celebrations, while struggling to find your own joy, I see you.

I know that there are women out there who struggle every Mother's Day. Those who can't scroll through social media because it makes them feel so very empty and incomplete.

To those Mountain Moving Mamas out there fighting for your child's very life, I see you.

To those Warrior Mamas who have suffered unthinkable tragedy and lost your children, I see you.

To those Overcomer Mamas that have fought through Hell and back for both you and your children, I see you.

To those Survivor Mamas whose womb has never been filled, I see you.

To those Fighter Mamas who may not have a relationship with your children right now but won't give up until you do, I see you.

To all the Mamas out there who can't look at the picture of my smiling family on Mother's Day without your heart breaking in two,
I SEE YOU.

I don't for one second take it for granted, nor do I post without considering how painful this day may be for each and everyone of you. I see you and I love you. I'm aware that after Mother's Day is over, those of us celebrating will go back to life as we know it. We'll rush kids out the door and off to school, yell at our children to stop picking on their brother, and shuttle kids to baseball practice, gymnastics, cheer, etc... And you, will continue life as you know it, a life that none of us can imagine and pain that none of us have experienced. I wish there was more comfort I could offer you. But, for today, know this. I SEE YOU and I LOVE YOU!

"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all."
~2 Thessalonians 3:16

Every season brings a new challenge, new guilt, and new fears... As a Mom , I very rarely feel like I know what I am doing.

To the Mom who just had a new baby and feels completely lost, I see you. I was you.
You have your first baby. He’s beautiful and you’ve never experienced love more deeply than this very moment. You can’t believe you and your husband made such a perfect human being. You leave the hospital, take him home to ntroduce him to his new house, lay him in his basinette and then smile as you watch his little chest rise up and down as he sleeps peacefully. You smile as you listen to his sweep sleep noises and then suddenly realize his chest isn’t rising up and down in the same rhythm it was a second before. You stare intently at the rhythm of his tiny chest. Panic creeps in as you start to worry what would happen if he didn’t remember to breathe. You scoop him up out of his basinette and take him over to the couch where you can lay with him on your chest so that you can make sure he continues to breathe. Exhausted you fall asleep only to wake up at 2 am with the baby still sleeping on your chest. You instantly feel like a failure. DO NOT co-sleep. This was the first rule broken. You realize that you have no idea what on earth you are doing and you can’t believe anyone has entrusted you with the life of another human.

To the Mama with an infant that doesn’t sleep and wants to be held constantly, that is currently hiding in her closet listening to this podcast just to be able to gain a few moments of uninterrupted sanity…. Girrrrrl…. Let’s pause for a moment of silence. I get it. He doesn’t like you and you’re not certain you like him at this very moment. You will get through this. You will survive. That infant will turn into a toddler that wraps his chubby arms around your neck and kisses your face, then a little boy that picks you wildflowers, and eventually onto a young man with the funniest personality. You will laugh at his unique perspective on things and be amazed at the way his mind takes the world in. You will not only like each other, but relish your time spent together and conversations had.

To the stay at home mom whose baby is about to start school, I see you. I remember the gut wrenching sadness of knowing that someone else would have my baby for 8 hours a day. I remember knowing that my children's safety was turned over to someone else for the majority of the week. I remember thinking that they would now spend more time in the care of others than with me for the next 13 years.

I remember thinking that I wish I would have held them more when they were home every day with me and that the last five years had been the fastest of my life. I remember hoping and praying that I had done everything right. I remember praying that I had taught them to be kind to others, to wait their turn, to use their manners, to wash their hands after using the restroom and before they eat, to not drink from the water fountain. I remember hoping and praying that they would be a light to others that they come in contact with. I remember praying that they would remember their personal boundaries and use their voice if that was ever violated. I remember praying that they would not learn about things that would violate their innocence. I remember hoping and praying that they would not bully or be bullied. I remember hoping that their teachers would love them and they would feel cared for.

But, most of all, I remember feeling lost. I had invested 8 years of my life with kids at home I had spent every day having someone that needed me. I wasn't ready to not be needed daily.

Know that this is a new chapter. You've done your job and they won't forget that. They will come home excited to tell you about all they've learned & the friends they've met. Know that this is time to work on you, to get back to who you were before becoming someone’s Mommy. And that chick, well she’s pretty awesome!


To the Mom of a Teen that is standing on what seems like the scariest precipice yet, I see you and am with you.

It seems like I blinked and he’s become a man. 
A beautiful kind young man and there is nothing I can do about it. 

I would give anything to go back to him being 3 years old, standing in the living room in a tuxedo that was 2 sizes too small, asking me to go put on a princess dress and dance with him. I did. And I’m so thankful I did. Because now, it’s other girls that he wants to dance with.

 I can’t keep him from doing stupid things or making mistakes. His dad & I made our own decisions and mistakes and he’ll have to do the same thing. I wish I could put him in a bubble and keep him from getting hurt, but I can’t. He inevitably will think I’m a moron and not take my advice and that’s okay. He has to take his own steps on this journey. Don’t get me wrong, we’ll provide guidance, but ultimately its up to him.  

All that I can do is speak truths into him that I hope he will remember.
I will tell him that he is loved beyond measure, seen and know, and more valuable than he could ever imagine.

I hope to teach him that he is not defined by the number of a test grade or a sports score and that his character is not intertwined with athletic achievement or academic credit. 

I hope that he knows his character is instilled within him and comprised of his moral values.  

I hope that he knows regardless of what path he takes or how many times he stumbles, he doesn’t have to walk it alone & I will always be there to help him back up.  

It’s a scary, scary time to be raising teenagers, but I believe that we can not only do it, but do it well.

When Mommin feels hard and you get stressed I want you to ask yourself:
What if you woke up tomorrow with only what you were grateful for today?

And, regardless of how many times you screw up remember, God made you the mother to your children. You were placed in each others’ lives as part of a master plan. There is nothing you can do to screw up his plan.

Things to remember when raising kids:

1. Kids want love and boundaries. It’s okay to be strict. It is your job to teach them right from wrong. To give them rules. It is your job to raise them to be well rounded contributing members of society. It is not your job to be their friend or the fun mom.

2. COMMUNICATION is the number one key to being a “good mom”.
Talk to your kids. Own it when you screw up. Don’t shame them but instead explain why that decision is being made. Have the Hard Talks.

3. Your kids joined your life. You did not join theirs. Your world does not have to revolve around their activities.
Let’s talk sports. You DO NOT have to make every single baseball game little Johnny plays… he started at 3 and will play until he’s 18. That’s roughly 150 games…. If he doesn’t play travel ball or tournaments…. And that’s for one sport. It’s okay if Bunco Night falls on the same night as a game, go fill your cup. It will be okay. He’ll also learn he’s not the center of your universe which will serve you greatly when he’s a teen.

Let them bleed, meaning let them explore the world. Let them fall and bump their knees. Help them back up while they learn from their mistakes.

Most of all, we're all doing our best in this crazy thing called Mom Life.
Happy Mother's Day!

And, while I love all things Mother's Day, I am also cognizant that Mother's Day isn't joyful to all. So, with that said, To that Mama scrolling through Facebook on Mother's Day...

Chapter 10: Stop asking Permission
This chapter includes the hot button topic of the label GIRLBOSS. I have a differing opinion than Rachel offers in the book as I personally love the title. I don't feel it marginalizes me or leaves me less than qualified. I embrace the title and am glad to do all things as a female. I discuss how women's brains work differently than men's and I acknowledge that while I think I can do anything men can do, I don't want to be labeled one of the boys.

Chapter 11: Choose One Dream and Go All In
I was a stay at home Mom for 10 years and did that with all that I had.
Then, I launched a business, put my head down, and committed to growing it for 2 years. I gave it all my dedication during that time. After that, I committed to bringing awareness to the human trafficking cause and mentoring survivors. This podcast followed that and I spent six months focused on its growth and success.

I am a multifaceted entrepreneur that believes we can do all the things, we just can’t do them ALL at once. 
We have to give our focus to one thing at a time then move on to the next.

I had the chance to meet Christy Wright a while back before launching The Power Project. Her advice to me was to find your one key theme that rings true in all that you do in life and business. Focus on that and make sure it applies to everything you speak about, post about, and put into the world. Find out how your audience wants to learn and focus on that one thing. Do they want retreats, ladies nights, a podcast, a blog. Focus on that one avenue and serve them there.

Chapter 12: Embrace Your Ambition
What does the Bible say about ambition?

As christians, we've mostly grown up hearing ambition as a bad word. The most commonly referenced scripture I remember is
Phil 2:3 “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself”

However, here is another scripture that tells us to work hard, mind our own business, and focus on our own achievements:
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
And to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, 12: so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

Ambition: definition: a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.
Greek meaning: “to esteem as an honor”.

Ambition on its own is not bad. Just like money on its own is not bad. “The love of money…”
Its what we do with it. Do we use our ambition to bring glory to us or glory to him? He put that drive in our hearts. Are we giving him credit for it? Are we bringing glory to him through what we accomplish with it? Are we following what he has laid out for us and trusting his understanding and not our own? Are we saying yes to his call or are we following our own call?
When I was first called to the Human Trafficking cause, I was concerned that I was trusting my own ambition. I wanted to make sure it was from God and not my own thought process. My good friend, and pastor’s wife, pointed out that the best way for me to realize it was from God was that it scared me and it wasn’t something I would ever choose to do on my own. So, that’s how I guage things moving forward. Does it scare the crap out of me? Probably from God and not me…. Now don’t get me wrong, use intuition and common sense here. Stepping into a pit of rattle snakes: not from God….

If I don’t have to struggle with a decision, pray about it, or weigh the odds, it’s probably my own ambition.

"Wait! Someone else has already done this. Someone else has already written the book I’ve dreamt of writing my entire life. Someone else has already created a movement for women everywhere to be inspired to live bigger lives, dream more, make an impact. Someone else has already, in the most brutally honest and lovingly compassionate way possible, told women to quit making their freaking excuses and live their best lives! Someone else has not only stepped into this space, but she IS this space. There’s not a woman I know that doesn’t know about this book, rock a Made for More hat, watch her FB lives. She has a movie for goodness sakes! She’s done it: Bigger, better, and most importantly, Before me. Well, that’s great! This is just about as good as that time I started doing yoga on the kid’s swim mat in the lake as a means of multi-tasking while the kids played, only to find out that “Boga” has since turned into the newest and greatest thing since slice bread. I totally invented that. And, I totally had these words and this vision before she ever told me to wash my face. Oh yeah, and I was washing my face and telling others to do so first also. She beat me. While I had sat back thinking about finishing my book and launching my podcast, she had written my book. Now what? I kept watching, I kept listening, and I kept sharing. “It’s not important who wrote the book anyway,” I thought. “It’s just important that the message is out there, and I will fully and completely support it in any way possible! But, dang! Just think, if I would have gotten my book out first.”







In Chapter 8, WHAT WILL THEY THINK, I talk about God's call being greater than anyone else's opinion.
What will God think if you don’t answer that call? Have you ever thought that you’re more worried about other’s opinions of you than you are God’s? Have you been concerned that not answering his call is a form of disobedience? Would you rather keep Seventh Grade Sally Happy than the Supreme Creator of the Universe? Are you more worried about getting an invite to the annual block party than you are a seat in Heaven? Seriously, who are you listening to? Who are you in relationship with? I can promise you that when you get so laser focused on your purpose and your relationship with Jesus, you find yourself caring less and of what people think and more about the people you can reach. When you know that you are on your own unique journey of following your purpose in life, others' opinions become trivial. Do you want to make an impact? You're going to have to make waves.

In the discussion over Chapter 9, GOOD GIRLS DON’T HUSTLE, I share how my hustle has been an innate characteristic and I never stopped to think about whether or not I should. I had a natural born desire to strive for greatness. I share stories from my childhood when hustling came natural, what my dad taught me about going after my dreams and hustling hard, and also how that natural drive is placed in your heart by your creator. Hustle for Jesus.

She makes no apologies for her unconditional and intense tough love sessions with parents and their teens. Demi believes that there is no perfect guide on how to be the best parent. She believes parents can provide a relevant and direct approach to communicating by meeting your teen where they are emotionally and mentally without forfeiting the role as the parent. Her coaching techniques are old school with a redefined approach to cultivate families and bridge the gap between parents and teens. Her goal is to partner with parents and create effective strategies that provide practical and engaging family management solutions.

I'm Not Enough to Succeed
5. I Can't Pursue My Dream & Still Be a Good Mom/Daughter/Employee
6. I'm Terrified of Failure

This is not a regurgitation of Ms. Rachel Hollis's words but instead is my take on the chapters and how you can apply them to your life.

I cover how I felt like a failure after dropping out of college and how I didn't feel qualified enough to pursue my dreams for the next fifteen years. I share how it took a good friend speaking into me for me to accept God's call and follow my purpose.

When I'm feeling unequipped and unsure of what the next step looks like, I refer to Esther 4:14 "Who knows that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this. This is how I have the assurance to step out of my comfort zone and know that I can make an impact.

The next scripture that I lean into is Ephesians 3:20 "Now, to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..." This helps me remember that while we are not enough on our own, the power that is installed within us is enough. We are enough through Jesus.

CALL TO ACTION:
List your strengths. What are you good at? What makes you good at that subject?
Are you a good friend? Is it your ability to listen, over advice, be compassionate? Are you a good baker? Does that mean you can follow directions and procedures or improvise when need be. Write out these characteristics of your strengths that are uniquely yours. Underneath that, write "I am Enough through Him."
Tape this to your bathroom mirror, vanity, desk, car dashboard and read it aloud every day.

In the next section, I talk about being a Stay at Home Mom with a desire to serve a bigger purpose. I talk about what it looked like to have the conversation with my husband and kids and bring them into the dream. When I started pursuing my dream it made my husband and kids look at me through a different lens of respect and admiration as well as made our time together more special.

Then I share the story of Deborah & Jael. Have you heard of them? They were strong women in the Bible that led armies and defeated evil commanders, and they were both married. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that they were less worthy wives for following God's call on their lives. Go check that story out in Judges 4.

And finally, we talk about the Fear of Failure and how we have to move past that to achieve success. After all, success lies in a silliness to fail. That is singlehandedly the most key ingredient to achieving success. If you stay paralyzed in fear, you'll never know what you were capable of. I also share how not pursuing your purpose because of fear can look like disobedience to the Lord.

That's Not What Other Women Do
2. I'm Not a Goal Oriented Person
3. I Don't Have the Time

This is not a regurgitation of Ms. Rachel Hollis's words but instead is my take on the chapters and how you can apply them to your life.

I cover how I was raised to want to get married and have babies but always had lofty career goals of my own. I also share how to become a goal oriented person and how to manage your time.

How to set goals and crush them:
1. List Your Goals
Whether you are detail oriented or prefer to enter all the details into Excel or youre more of a free thinker, put your goal setting cap on. List every goal you want to accomplish this year. From the stretch goals to the easily attained goals, put them all down.

2. Prioritize Your Goals
This is where focus comes into play. What goals are the most important for you to accomplish. If you’re a high achiever, you most likely want to accomplish all the things right now! But, if you don't give them priority, we can’t give them the attention and focus they need.

3. Sort Your Goals
Separate your stretch goals from your small goals. Small goals give you small victories along the way to achieving your strtetch goals.

4. Set deadlines
A goal without a deadline is a dream. Break down how you will reach that deadline. If you're writing a book in the next twelve months and you plan to write 60,000 words, do the math. 60,000/12=5000. You'll need to write 5000 words per month in order to achieve your goal by your deadline.

5. Take ACTION
This is where most people stop pursuing their goals. A goal without action is like a vehicle without fuel. What can you do each day to achieve those goals? If you want to lose 50 lbs in a year, that's 4 lbs per month and one lb per week. So, create a daily diet and excercise plan to achieve that goal. What action can I take today to achieve my weekly, monthly, and annual goals?



Chapter 3: "I Don't Have Time"

A few things to know: Time is an illusion. We all have the same 24 hours in a day but it's what we do with them that makes a difference. You don’t have a lack of time, you have an ownership problem. You haven’t owned your schedule, your months, weeks, hours, minutes.
It’s simply a time management problem.

Here are the ways I manage my schedule:
1. On Sundays, I look at my week. What does it look like? What is on the schedule? I follow up with the appointments I have scheduled to confirm that we are still on. I check to see if the kids' schedules have changed and new appointments need to be added.


2. During my work hours that are scheduled, I put my phone and computer in Do Not Disturb mode so that I can focus on work. I do not fill the space with household chores or conversations. This is simply work time.

3. I maximize the times that I am most productive. Have you heard of Owl vs. Lark? An Owl is a person that is more productive at night and a Lark is someone that is more productive in the morning. Realize your most productive and most creative times. Schedule appropriate work during those times.

4. I plan my week with my family. Everyone plays a part here. My husband and I share an ical that keeps all of the family appointments shared between us so that we both have a heads' up of what is going on. I use different email addresses for different schedules: Family (ALL the things), Kids, Beauty Business, & The Power Project. This way I can clearly see where my time is being spent.

Trust me when I say, I was not always this organized with my time. It has taken practice and effort to get here, but it has made a world of difference.

She talks about navigating the business side of a social enterprise that supports the non profit that she founded as well. Melissa is passionate about empowering and loving on God’s people in a way that looks like coming alongside them and simply saying “I see you.”

She earned her BS in Home Economics Education from Middle Tennessee University in 1993 and graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University with her Masters Degree in Marriage & Family in 2014.

Donna's life was unexpectedly changed when making weighted blankets at her kitchen table exploded into a full time business. She is the Founder of Weighting Comforts, and runs it alongside her son, Josh who has recently been named to Forbes 30 under 30 for Social Enterprise.

As a means to growing demands, Donna contracted with refugee women to sew weighted blankets. Her eyes were then opened to how difficult it is for refugees and immigrants to find work and integrate into American culture.

Weighting Comforts employs refugees and immigrants to sew blankets in order to help them provide for their families as well as provides paid English classes to all of their employees.

I recently hosted a Galentine's brunch where we discussed love & marriage. Heather McGilvray did the session over sex and the feedback was phenomenal!

Heather is a licensed professional counselor who specializes in working with young children and their families to help meet their emotional, spiritual, and psychological needs, moving them towards a happier and healthier life. While running a business and raising her two beautiful daughters, Heather is also passionate about building a tribe of women that can lean on and learn from each other. She believes that we should all be able to discuss our struggles with one another and grow together. Heather's authenticity and vulnerability are the reasons we knew she would be perfect to talk about keeping it spicy in the bedroom. She believes that too many Christian wives aren't talking openly about the subject and has chosen to share vulnerably with all of us.

However, serving the population of women that I do, I am a firm believer in self love. I don’t believe it has to be a narcissistic quality. Instead, I believe it's simply loving yourself as God created you and seeing yourself as he does. It’s a clear view of accepting yourself as a sinner in need of a savior and owning your weaknesses as well as your strengths. I think you can know where you fall short without beating yourself up, and also, love the strengths that God gave uniquely to you. You can thank Him for those strengths and use them to bring glory to him.

Some resources that I believe will help you learn to love yourself are

Terra and her sister witnessed her mother meet an outwardly charming gentleman that turned out to be a master conman. The story plays out with more drama than one could have written for a blockbuster movie plot.

In the end, despite the psychological manipulation, force, fraud, and coercion that John exhibits, Terra comes out the victor. She shares with us today how her faith, trusting her instincts, and some tricks picked up from being an avid Walking Dead fan saved her life and her family's.

Kate shares her personal struggle with bullying as a teenager and how it led her to follow God's call for her life, being a voice for the voiceless. She talks about young girls being unbelievably mean, her struggle to fit in, and how she had to make the decision to not let this define her in life.

If you are the mother of a daughter, you have to hear this episode. She exemplifies self-confidence, self-love, courage in the face of adversity, following your dreams, and is the most ideal role model I could think of for a young girl.

Maria studies acting at The London Academy of Live and Recorded Arts. After graduation, she starred in the ITV Yorkshire television series "Emmerdale", and began her singing career at the Royal Albert Hall, with Dame Shirley Bassey for the 50th Beatles anniversary.

She then produced her first west end show in London in honor of her late father, the legendary tenor, Luigi Infantino. She moved to Los Angeles after being nominated as best international singer at the LA Music Awards in 2011.

Her LA debut was at the Marilyn Monroe theatre at the Lee Strasberg institute with her one woman show on Edith Piaf.

Her many credits and collaborations include working with Maestro Andrea Morriconme, Maestro Umberto Scipione, Mike Stoller, and concerts in prestigious venues worldwide .

However, my favorite accolades for Maria include those where she serves non-profits. She is on the advisory board of directors for CNN hero, Bruce Serato's charity, "Caterina's Club" which feeds 5,000 underprivileged children in the US per day. She also recently accepted a seat on the Ranch Hand Rescue advisory board, where the organization brings together severely abused people and severely abused animals for a counseling program.

Maria's current disco show, "Bambino" a tribute to Dalida, debuts in LA December 5th which is SOLD OUT. However, you can still get tickets for Thursday Dec. 6, 2018 @ http://greenwaycourttheatre.org/dalida/
