  • Episode 125 Authentic Gratitude in the Waiting
    The waiting.
    When you KNOW God has said ___ is next but it's not yet happened.
    When you've been given the vision but it's not come to be yet.
    When you have the passion deep in your heart but it's not happened yet.
    It can be easy to fall into deep discouragement but what if we actively fought that discouragement with none other than GRATITUDE. Not faking it. Not avoiding feeling (that's former me and is for the birds- confident people FEEL). This can seem like a "no way Anna" when you first read this BUT hear me out...
    The authentic gratitude will change the entire journey and outcome of the waiting. Listen to today's episode to hear what my experience is with this and hear WHAT you can do to pursue this with intention to start this journey of change with yourself.

    Confidence. We talk about it a lot. I'm so grateful to have been trained in life coaching by a world-renowned confidence coach (Trish Blackwell). She is an expert in massive confidence building! This episode is about the simple small steps you can take to build your confidence in God and what HE says about your purpose and your life. He created you with purpose and for purpose but sometimes it can be hard to SEE that. What can you do when those days happen? What can you do on days that are really going great BUT you just don't "feel" God so much?
    These tips will show you just what to do. They are mindset habits as well as physical habits that you can begin this week. Your confidence in HIM will grow as you begin seeing your personal confidence getting a massive boost.
