  • Ep. 27 | The Signs That Indicate Breakthrough Is Coming

    What are the indicators in life that breakthrough is coming? This is crucial information to have if you're going to faithfully pursue your life purpose and not let discouragement slow you down.

    In today's episode, I'm going to how you to know you're on the verge of a breakthrough, because quitting becomes eminent if you're not able to discern the signs. You and I both know that the purpose of life is not to walk in discouragement, confusion, doubt, and weariness. Jesus came to give us life and to give it abundantly. The enemy wants to steal your life purpose by flooding your life with these negative feelings. He wants to prevent your breakthrough by focusing on discontent and dissatisfaction.

    James 1:7 says, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." God is wanting to give you good gifts, and He delivers them in at the right time.

    Key Takeaways:

    • The lesson I learned about God when my 7 year old started acting like my 3 year old
    • The timing that God gives His good gifts to His children
    • What you can expect before receiving a spiritual promotion

      • Ep. 26 | When Giving Back Is Giving Up Your Legacy

        What's the deal with famous Billionaires giving away with their inheritance? Donating money to charity is not a bad thing, but it can damage your legacy if it forces your children to start over.

        In today's episode, I discuss the trend of multiple billionaires leaving their inheritance to charity and bypassing their children. I rant about how "giving back" seems honorable but it holds the wrong thought around money. It implies that in order to get ahead someone had to lose. As a parent, a large portion of your life purpose is to create a foundation for the next generation to build upon.

        The purpose of life and wealth is to make the world a better place for future generations, but what are we saying about our children when we trust non-profits to make the world a better place instead of trusting our children?

        Key Takeaways:

        • Just because someone has a lot of money doesn't mean they know what to do with it as an inheritance
        • Why I think these billionaires lack personally responsibility when they give away their      fortunes
        • God's perspective on wealth and legacy
        • What to do when our children waste their inheritance and still need help

                      • Ep. 22 | The Attractively Different Trials of Life

                        What wisdom can be found in the trials of life? In today's episode I share with you how you can embrace these trials instead of avoid them because the purpose of life is not about avoiding challenges. God has given you a specific assignment, and your life purpose is found in using the wisdom He gave you through His word to succeed in that assignment.

                        James 1:2-4 says, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

                        The Greek word consider is an accounting term to count - assign a value to something. This verse is telling us that there is wisdom in assigning a positive value to your trials because they produce perseverance that allows you to lack nothing. These tests and trials set you up to succeed in your life purpose. They allow you to pursue the assignment, your purpose of life, in a way that lacks nothing.

                        Life coaching can help you see the gift that can be found in pain and trials. Garner wisdom from this episode to embrace your trials and make progress in your life purpose.


                        Key Takeaways:

                        • Trial and testing is essential to consistent growth
                        • Challenges allow you to grow and increase your capacity so you can pursue the purpose of life
                        • There's wisdom     in avoiding conformity. Society moves toward conformity and they don't like it when people shine bright.

                          • Ep. 21 | How Perfectionism Will Delay Your Life Purpose

                            If you've ever let the idea of perfectionism sabotage your results or caused you to get stuck in your life purpose then this show is for you.

                            Perfectionisms just a fear in disguise. It's a lie that will tell you that if we don't meet a certain standard then we'll be rejected or abandoned. It tells you that you won't be good enough and there's something at stake to loose. There's a lie that if you're not perfect that you may lose your purpose in life.

                            However, If you see perfectionism as fear then you can handle it. You can handle fear but you can never be perfect.

                            Perfectionism is really just an idea of being perfect. We play out in our minds the perfect scenario, and fear creeps in when we are unsure if that dream could be a reality. There's the idea of the perfect job, the perfect leader, the perfect spouse, the perfect "fill in the blank" and if we don't reach it then our mind tells us we can never have it, and we might miss our purpose in life.

                            Which, as a life coach, I would ask my client, "Is that 100% true?" Is it a 100% true that if you fail at achieving this perfect dream on your first attempt then you'll never attain your life purpose?

                            No, it's not 100% true and, as your life coach, we would work together to find a thought that is empowering, and give them the courage set aside the fear that comes from the idea of perfectionism and take the actions to achieve their goals.

                            Key Takeaways:

                            • Perfectionism is just fear in disguise
                            • Perfectionism will actually lower the standards for your purpose in life
                            • You will always produce the environment around you that you cultivate within you
                            • Perfectionism empowers disappointment instead of preventing it
