In this 1st episode of a new season, representing the new season of my life, I share 3 lessons that I learned from her life.

As I walked on stage, I whispered a prayer & told my story. The story of how God's desire for me exceeds my highest expectation. He wants so much more for me! He wants to give me more. He wants to make me more. He wants to transform me into His likeness and His plan for me is limitless!

September is my birthday month so I have a lot to give thanks for – but I have learned that and 'attitude of gratitude' is just that – an attitude, a mindset that flickers to life even in difficult circumstances when on the face of it, there is nothing much to give thanks for.

In this episode, I share tips on how to build your gratitude muscle.

In this episode, I explore the importance of reconnecting with your vision.
