These past 9 months have been such a rollercoaster for me, but I've been hanging on to this bible verse (Matthew 7:7) and reciting it over and over again any time I felt discouraged. I'm sharing a little back story and TESTIMONY of what God has done in my life recently. I'm so excited to share this journey with you so that you can better understand my emotions and thought process. I'm pouring my heart with ya'll today.. I open up and share one of the most painful experiences I've gone through, and the reasoning for me leaving my position as a Bridal Stylist 7 years ago.  Back in January, I began applying for my dream job again and you're going to have to tune in to hear all the ups and downs that have come from pursuing this field again, BUT, although things weren't making sense, I learned SO much in the process and God has taught me so many LIFE LESSONS, that I can honestly say it was all worth it. If you’ve been knocking on a door or even a few doors and you’re getting tired of them not opening- I want to share this with you, because during this process one of the things I needed to know was that God still moves. I’m praying that this episode encourages you to see God’s hand, not just in my life but I pray that it resonates with you and helps you remember back to a time when God opened a door for you, closed a door for you, or even helps shed light on a current situation you’re facing now.

Hey girl, if you’re listening to this podcast you are most likely an entrepreneur and if you are an entrepreneur then you know that the journey isn’t always easy… There are so many twists and turns and sometimes we can reach a place where we feel STUCK. Whether you are currently in a season where your business is moving forward at a fast pace, and everything’s going for you, you’re hitting your goals, following your marketing plan consistently, connecting with the right people, and collaborating. Or if you’re in a season where you haven’t hit your goals, you’re losing your motivation, that passion and drive you once had, and you’re beginning to question whether you’re even on the right path. I want to talk to you! I believe that as an entrepreneur there will always come a time when you need to transition. I've transitioned my business many times, so I want to share with you my top 5 tips to help support you during yours. I pray that it encourages you on your journey!

Whether you’re waiting on a new house, your dream career, your future partner, waiting to become pregnant, or waiting to deliver your baby, waiting can be HARD. The waiting season can make you feel weak, irritable, angry, frustrated, or sad. These are all feelings I've experienced while I'm waiting and I sincerely empathize with you! It’s one thing to say “God, I trust you and your timing,”  and it’s another thing to actually live it out. In this honest conversation, I'm sharing how although I've struggled to accept where God has me, there have been some incredible encouragements that have realigned my heart and helped me to look at these seasons through a different lens. Although it may feel uncomfortable at times, I believe there's a choice that needs to be made and one of them is choosing to embrace the season we're in. I pray this episode encourages you and reminds you that you are not alone! IG: becauseshedaredpodcast IG: Styled by Krystal Andrea www.styledbykrystalandrea.com/resources

Today, I'm sharing 3 practical tips to help you rewrite your story. Sometimes we tell ourselves a narrative that truly isn’t empowering, but we get so comfortable because we’ve told ourselves a certain story for so long. These narratives can hold us back from really living out the life we’re called to live and the life that we dream of and hope for so often. Maybe you tell yourself,  "I’ll never build a successful business" or, "I don’t have anything meaningful to offer people" or, "the work that I deliver is not good enough." Or simply, “I’m not enough.” If this resonates with you, this episode is for you!! Ultimately, I want us to be able to get out of our heads and fix our minds on God’s desires for us.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Because She Dared podcast! Learn about my journey and what lead me to this new endeavor. This has been a dream on my heart for so many months, but I was too focused on the details which held me back from moving forward. I kept asking myself, "what's the consequence if I don't move forward now?" & "who's really missing out from me not launching?" I pray this episode encourages you to move forward with the call that God has placed on your heart and reminds you to STOP waiting until things are perfect.
