Persistence – Staying in the Story When It’s Hard

Let’s talk about the kind of strength that doesn’t always look shiny or Instagram-worthy… the kind of strength that whispers, “I’m not giving up.”

That’s persistence. And it’s holy.

In Dick Schwartz’s 5 P’s of Self, persistence is that steady, Spirit-rooted commitment to keep going—not because you have to prove something, but because the Creator is still writing your story. In Creator-based® Coaching, we don’t push or pressure. But we do press on. With faith. With love. With courage that sometimes shows up looking like tears and tiny steps forward.

Persistence means staying in the story even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

You may not feel like a warrior, but if you’ve ever kept showing up to your healing, to your faith, to your family, when everything inside of you wanted to quit—you’re already living it.

Let’s be honest: the enemy would love nothing more than for you to throw in the towel. But the Creator? He’s placed something eternal in you. That’s why your spirit keeps whispering, “There’s more.” And that whisper is worth listening to.

In Luke 18, Jesus tells a story about a widow who kept asking a judge for justice. She didn’t give up. And eventually, the judge relented—not because he cared, but because her persistence wore him down. Jesus tells us this story not to make us feel annoying when we pray—but to remind us that God is not like that judge. He loves to respond to the cries of His daughters. But He also honors the heart that keeps coming back, no matter how long it takes.

Creator-based® Coaching encourages women to be lovingly persistent with their own parts. When shame pops up for the 100th time, we don’t slam the door—we get curious. When a pattern resurfaces, we don’t give up—we lead that part back to truth.

Persistence isn’t a grind. It’s a gentle, Spirit-fueled decision to keep walking. Even when you don’t feel brave. Even when you’ve stumbled. Even when you’re tired.

And here’s the truth I want you to hold close today: God is more committed to your healing than you are. So if He hasn’t given up on you—and He never, ever will—you don’t have to give up either.

Keep going, beloved. You’re not just surviving. You’re growing into something sacred.

Patience – Trusting the Pace of Heaven

Okay friend, let’s talk about one of the hardest and holiest parts of healing: waiting.

I don’t know about you, but I used to think if I wasn’t “getting there” fast enough—spiritually, emotionally, physically—I must be doing something wrong. And girlfriend, let me tell you... that lie ran deep.

But here’s what the Creator-based® Way has shown me: Patience isn’t punishment. It’s a partnership with our Creator. It’s not about sitting still with clenched fists, begging for a breakthrough. It’s about surrendering to God’s perfect pace, learning to rest, and willingly learning in the process. Patience is actually one of the sweetest gifts from God. It’s not about waiting perfectly—it’s about trusting deeply.

Dick Schwartz names patience as one of the 5 P’s of Self, and there’s a reason it’s right at the center. Patience is what gives our inner world the space to breathe. It’s what lets our tender parts—the ones that feel unworthy, scared, or “too much”—begin to trust us. They don’t want to be rushed. They want to be seen, held and heard.

Creator-based® Coaching teaches women that healing isn't linear and doesn't come from hustling. It comes from receiving—receiving God’s grace, His timeline, and the truth that you are not behind. It also involves owning and honoring the truth that you are a work in progress, a person who is becoming.

Take Sarah from the Bible—for decades she waited for the promise of Isaac. I’m sure she felt forgotten. Maybe even ashamed. But God's promise didn’t arrive late; it arrived right on time. And when it did, it carried so much joy, it made her laugh out loud.

That’s what divine timing does—it fills your heart with joy and relief because it comes after you’ve grown deep roots of trust.

In The Creator-based® Way, we are encouraged to create this kind of patience with every part of us. When that anxious voice says, “You should be over this by now,” we respond with compassion: “It’s okay, love. We’re still healing. God’s not in a rush, and neither are we.”

Patience says, “I’m okay even while things are still messy.” It’s that gentle reminder from the Spirit that the Lord never rushes your healing. He doesn’t roll His eyes at you. He sees every part of you—your fear, your self-doubt, your trying—and He responds with the loving compassion of a tender Parent.

Patience teaches you how to wait with hope. It creates space to hear the Spirit, to gently coach your parts back into peace, and to believe that something beautiful is growing—even if you can’t see it yet.

And here’s what I’ve learned: You’re not failing. You’re unfolding.

Our Creator is loving and smiling at every step you take.

So today, be gentle with your becoming. Trust the pace of heaven. God isn’t just working on your future—He’s working in you, right now, with tender, unwavering, supporting love.

You’re not late. You’re loved.

"You’re not failing. You’re unfolding.

Trust the pace of Heaven.”

Let Them Go, So You Can Grow: A Faith-Fueled, Creator-Led Life

This month in Book Club, we’re diving into Mel Robbins’ newest release, *Let Them*—and let me say, it’s a breath of fresh truth for every woman standing at the midlife crossroads.

If your children are flying the nest—whether off to college, starting their own families, or simply finding their independence—your heart may be caught between grief and gratitude. You’ve given so much of yourself. Now what?

Here’s where Mel’s powerful concept comes in: *Let Them.* Let them be who they are. Let them make mistakes. Let them find their way. Why? Trying to control what isn’t ours drains our energy and distracts us from our divine calling.

In Creator-based® Coaching, we teach that you are the Creator of your life experience. You’re not a passive participant—a woman of influence, creativity, and divine purpose. When you stop trying to micromanage others’ emotions, choices, and paths, you reclaim the energy you’ve unknowingly been giving away.

This is your time. Not to shrink back but to step forward. You’ve been a nurturer, a guide, a fierce protector. Now, God is inviting you to create something new—a life that’s *faith-fueled and creator-led*.

So what does that look like?

It means turning toward your own joy again. Asking God what’s next. Exploring gifts and dreams that have been tucked away. It means believing that your best season may still be ahead, not behind.

The relationships around you will flourish when you *let them* be—when you release judgment and show up with love and curiosity instead. And as you do, you’ll find something remarkable: more peace, freedom, and clarity.

Sisters, this isn’t the end. It’s a holy beginning.

It’s time to create—not just react. To trust—not just control. To live from a place of grounded purpose and divine identity.

Let them. Let go. And let yourself rise.

Monday Morning Inspiration
Faith-Fueled. Creator-Led.

“My life looks fine… so why do I still feel so overwhelmed?”
“I want to feel close to God again.”
“I want to take care of myself, but I feel guilty.”

Sound familiar, sweet friend?

You’re not alone. Even as a full-time Creator-based® life coach, I still meet those thoughts in the quiet corners of my heart. Sometimes even louder now—because I’ve chosen to hold myself to a higher standard. (Unreasonably high some days—working on that one.)

Here’s what I’ve noticed:
The adversary loves to show up with a little tool I call the “should stick.”

You should know better.
You should be better.
You should take care of everyone.
You shouldn’t lose your temper.
You shouldn’t eat that, say that, buy that.

Can we pause and breathe together?

Here’s something I want you to hear, deep in your bones:

You now have permission to be human.

We’re not here to be perfect beings. And we’re not here to be relentless doers. We are human beings, in the practice of becoming. Trying. Learning. Trusting. Loving. Re-centering. It’s a practice—not a perfect.

This season tends to pick up speed. It’s easy to get swept away in the swirl. But now more than ever, it’s essential—not optional—to care for your soul.

Human life is a divine practice.
And every good practice needs three things:
✨ An Instruction Manual
✨ Nourishment
✨ Supportive Connection

The Creator-based® Way brings us back to our Source—our Capital-C Creator. For me, that’s Jesus Christ. When I am centered in Him, my soul settles. I become confident, calm, creative, courageous, and connected. My choices become clearer. My heart feels lighter.

But when I try to base my life only on me, I get fragmented and fearful. Can you relate?

So let me gently ask you:
How are you doing with consulting your Instruction Manual?
Are your connections clear and bright?

Because when we’re spiritually centered, overwhelm becomes easier to notice, easier to name, and easier to let go.

Think of life like a merry-go-round. When you sit in the center, the ride is smooth. When you’re clinging to the edge, you feel like you’re about to fly off. Staying centered in your Creator brings steadiness to your spirit—even when life spins fast.

Take time to find Him today. He’s always near. But we experience Him most when we’re still.

Built into our day are sacred pauses: before we sleep, before we eat, before we connect with our loved ones. Take a breath before your next prayer. Let yourself drop into presence. That, my friend, is breath meditation. That is where peace lives.

Now, about the guilt.
Let’s flip the script.

You are essential.
You are needed.
You are deeply loved.

If you don’t care for your soul—spiritually and physically—the people who depend on you will feel the effects. What they won’t suffer from is you taking time to rest, to breathe, to fill your own cup.

A long bath can calm your tone.
A nourishing meal can lift your energy.
A peaceful heart blesses every room it enters.

Caring for yourself isn’t selfish.
It’s sacred stewardship.

The worth of your soul is great in the sight of God—and in the lives of those you love.

So come be nourished with us.

The Crown of Creation: A 10-C Life Awaits You

Well, my friend, we have come to the grand finale of our journey through the 9-C Life, but this is not the end. It is a new beginning. This week, we add the crown to our creation, the 10th C, that elevates everything we have built together.

Spring has arrived in North Texas. The dandelions, jonquils, and hyacinths are in full bloom, and the cattle rest contentedly in the pasture. Nature sings the praises of its Creator, and so do we.

A Faith-fueled, Creator-led life brings all the C’s into presence. Centered in my Creator, I am calm, clear, confident, courageous, curious, delightedly connected, and compassionate. I walk in self-love, knowing that my worth is divine. Through mindfulness, I remain present and aware, embracing each moment with gratitude. I hold on to hope, knowing that my future is filled with promise. I exercise the power of choice, shaping my life with intention. I am the creator of my life. It is a beautiful, fulfilling way to live, and we want to share it with you.

Faith-fueled, Creator-led: Are You Ready for an Entirely New Approach to Being Creatively Alive, Healthy, and Happy?

If you are longing for a life that feels aligned, joyful, and whole, this is your invitation. It all begins with Coach n Clear, listening to the podcast, or scheduling a free introductory session with Beth. 

Just choose one and try it. You will feel the difference.

Big News! The 9-C Life Becomes a 10-C Life of Peace and Success

2025 marks the seventh year of The Creator-Based® Way at CMH Coaching.
In 2019, we built, trademarked, and shared this message with the world. Seven years later, it is time to celebrate.

In ancient times, every seventh year was a sacred time of rest, renewal, and rejoicing—a Sabbath year, a Jubilee.  In that Sabbatical year, the fields were left to rest, food storage was eaten, and a year of religious instruction and exercises commenced. It was a time to reflect, reset, and receive abundance in new ways.

We are bringing that tradition to life.

Throughout 2025 and 2026, you will experience a full year of Joyous Jubilee. Expect special offers, joy-filled events, and fresh new ways to grow. The 10-C Life is just the beginning, and I cannot wait to share this incredible journey with you week after week in the Creator-based® 50/50 way.

These past seven years have been filled with miracles, and I am deeply grateful for you. Let’s keep growing together. Great things are coming!

I live on 25 acres out in the country.  My husband often teases that on the map, we can be located by the H in NOWHERE because we live ‘in the middle of nowhere’.  I love the wildlife, the quiet, the huge Texas skies, and the beautiful rolling hills and woods.  

Being an introvert, the country suits me well. With the internet, it’s easy to work out here. I coach clients by phone five days a week, and of course, we hold our beloved Mastermind and Coach n Clear sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays via Zoom. However, occasionally, it can be a little too quiet. I get cranky, and that leads to feeling lonesome and sad. Even introverts can miss people.

Connectedness is a core C in the 9-C Life. While I am connected through the phone and Zoom daily, there’s something deeply soul-filling about true connection. As much as I love the solitude of country life, there’s a kind of nourishment that only comes from being in the presence of others—sharing laughter, stories, and even quiet moments together.  I love going to town for errands for an hour or so and talking to everyone. It is a real lift in my week.

The Creator designed us to live in connection. From the very beginning, He declared, "It is not good that the man should be alone" (Genesis 2:18). While solitude has its place in our growth and reflection, connection fuels our joy, strengthens our spirits, and helps us become more of who we are meant to be.  

Connection doesn’t have to be big or complicated. Sometimes, it looks like:   

- Attending a study group or class  (Coach n Clear is a good choice)

- Visiting a farmer’s market or local shop and chatting with the people there  

- Calling someone just to hear their voice instead of texting  

- Sitting with a loved one, simply being present  

We were created for connection, and when we nurture it, we thrive.  

Weekly Challenge: The Connection Invitation  

This week, I challenge you to create one meaningful, in-person connection. It doesn’t have to be grand or time-consuming. Simply invite someone into your space—your physical space or your heart space.  

Here are a few ideas:  

- Meet a friend for a walk or lunch  

- Join or host a small gathering  (Coach n Clear)

- Visit someone you haven’t seen in a while  

- Attend an event at church or in your community  

- If you’re feeling bold, introduce yourself to someone new  

Afterward, take a moment to reflect. How did it feel? What did you notice about your energy and mood?  

Connection is a gift, and when we step into it with intention, we not only bless others, but we also open ourselves to receiving the joy and warmth that only true presence can bring.  

I’d love to hear how this challenge goes for you. Let’s create connection together!

Imagine a person moving through life with subtle, strong qualities that emanate from deep within their very being.  You feel more confident, calm, clear, courageous, creative, and even curious when you are near them.  You love being around that person.  

That’s you, friend.  

You are that person. (No eye rolling aloud, and stop arguing with me!)

Within you- are all of those qualities.  Now, they are seldom all present at once, but they are definitely in there.  

As you continue to gently press forward in hope and faith, your C’s become more and more pronounced.  You find yourself more appreciative and loving.  Soon, the 7th C of your centered self is more and more present.  That C is Compassion.

Y’all know it’s less than 50 days until tax day, right?  Boy, I do! Oh. My.Gosh! Adrenaline rush! Filing taxes has long been a stressful event for me.  It’s one of those thoughts I continue to work on.  This year, we had flu and a late start on taxes, and now I feel under the gun.  Less than 50 days! And so much to do!

Ya see, between the wedding, the renovation, and just generally enjoying life, my financial transactions were recorded but not categorized as they needed to be.  It’s been a busy year, and I had all those things to reconcile.  Once I began recovery from the flu, I decided that couch time would be perfect to go through all the transactions and put things in order.  (Spoiler alert: Don’t do hard things in recovery- lesson learned.)

Come with me on my transaction journey. My living room is full of wadded-up blankets; there are tissues and leftover food plates on the coffee table.  The TV has an inane comedy quietly playing in the background.  My laptop is ready to go. I open it and begin.

The thought comes, “You really need to be better at this.”  

As I continued figuring out what I paid for and why, the thought escalated, “You’re inept in business.”  

Soon, all bets were off, and my inner critic had taken the wheel and was engaging in a full tirade against my personal worth and ability.  Ouch!

Fortunately, there is mercy within my world.  I hope you find it in yours as well.  My centered self gently offered a tiny glimmer of compassion.  A candlelight, but light none the less.  It was enough light to recognize what was happening in that tirade of internal darkness.  I fanned that little light as best I could.  Quietly, and with love, I began.

“Sweetie- you are doing your very best.  Remember B- is good enough.”

“You have power within you to accomplish your purpose.”

“You’re good at this.”

“You are important and loved.”

“You are doing God’s work.  It’s just taxes.”

“Ouch! This hurts. Let’s take care of you.”

My little candlelight of compassion began to swell with each centered statement, extending out to that irate inner critic. Soon, I was giggling at myself.  What a drama queen! Here’s what I learned. Whether your struggle is taxes, relationships, pain, grief, or purpose, the same truth applies...

It’s only a thought, and a thought can be changed.

Light overcomes darkness every time.

Whether we see it or not, we are loved and supported on our journey.  It just is.

God has blessed us with many superpowers.  Among them is loving self-compassion.

Self coaching works!

Loving self-compassion is an incredible superpower.  Try fanning that little flame for yourself!

All my love, 

Beth
