When you’re short on self-confidence, it simply means you haven’t spent enough time building it. Your lack of self-confidence is not an inherent personality trait, but a lack of building the skill. Try changing your patterns of thinking and behavior using the tools given in this Podcast Episode. Then you can begin to construct a better self-image through a Biblical lens.  If you've felt stuck in any area of your life - God is calling you to step out in faith and release the mindset of fear so that you can boldly walk in your purpose as a child of God.

If you're someone who struggles to commit to a decision or you get caught in an overthinking mindset to the point that you stay stuck....this episode is for YOU.

Decision-making is a skill.  Most of us did not learn how to make decisions from a place of choice and empowerment, but rather from a place of necessity and emotion.

I'm walking us through learning the skill of decision-making so that we can take action and move forward with our purpose and goals.

This week is all about noticing how we talk to ourselves.  Did you know your thoughts and words have the power to create our reality? Many of us are stuck and overwhelmed because we are allowing unuseful thoughts to create our life.  In this episode, let's start taking each thought captive.  Using principles from Jesus' work as he walked among the people, we will look at Matthew chapter 9 - this will blow your mind!  It's not hard, friends.  Let's elevate our life by noticing our thoughts.

So today’s episode is filled with tips and suggestions and recommendations on ways to really be intentional about your mental wellness this month. 

You are worth the time. You are worth the work.

I'm happy to share this conversation with all of you today.  It's a conversation with my friend and colleague, Linda Rathje.  Her family spent many years in Ukraine supporting the Ukrainians in many ways.  She is deeply connected with the people there and shares an up-close and personal perspective about the current events happening in Ukraine today.  She walks us through how she found her purpose and navigated life through uncertain times.  She shares so many nuggets of wisdom that we can all take to heart.   There are also many ways we can stay connected to the events in Ukraine as well as support those who are doing the hard work there now.  I hope you'll listen and learn from this episode.

You wake up in the morning completely groggy, you feel like you've been run over by a mac-truck most days, your getting 6-8 hours of sleep per night, but you might as well have had 1 hour.  Your energy is low all day, you are chugging caffeine from sun-up to sundown, you can't think clearly, there's way too much on your list to do, your head hurts, your retaining weight and your blood pressure seems to rise by the minute. 

Sound familiar?

You might have an overactive sympathetic nervous system.  

Today we will chat about how to regulate your nervous system and move from FIGHT MODE to REST MODE.

It is possible with intention and it is highly beneficial to your health and well-being. 

So take a minute for YOU.  You are worth the time and energy. 

My hope is that you'll find awareness and the courage to shift into a healthier and stronger version of yourself.

Today let's chat about our thoughts vs. our feelings.  So often we communicate our thoughts as feelings, but are they really feelings??? In this episode, we will break down the differences.  I'll also share a beautiful practice that I learned many years ago from Byron Katie.  She's a thought leader and a beautiful soul in the personal development world. When we learn to take our thoughts captive, we find that we have the power to shift - lean in and move forward into a healthier version of ourselves.  I hope you'll lean in and see what resonates with you today.
