Fierce

This week I had so much fun chatting with my long time friend and past personal trainer in the gym, Taylor Chuckran. Taylor taught me to lift heavy and eat right. Taylor is a mix of wit, beauty and smarts. With 13 years in the fitness industry, Taylor brings some awesome wisdom to the conversation. A busy mother of two little ones, Taylor is also in the midst of starting up an online fitness business in her basement. Join us as she shares about her fitness journey, the myths about fitness she has debunked and what the most important elements in our fitness journey.

You can find Taylor on Instagram @taysim05.

Shout out to Miles Minnick for allowing me to use "W.Y.T" for the Fierce Podcast. Thank you Miles! Be sure to check Miles out on Instagram @miles.minnick.

For years, I feared color in my wardrobe. I did not like to stand out. I did not like attention; I gravitated toward black. Yet over the course of the last 5 years, I have learned to embrace color and the JOY that it brings me. Much of my shift has been inspired by "colorful and fierce" women around me.

In this podcast, I am joined by Khrystian Lews ("Christian") - a style and beauty enthusiast. Join me as she shares about her "color" journey. A stay at home mom in yoga leggings now fashionista and CEO of her home. Khrysitan takes her Instagram audience through her journey to where she is today by making funny reels about motherhood and yoga leggings. She pushes her followers to get up, get dressed and put on make-up! It's a great conversation that is sure to inspire you!

It seems that there is almost always a paradigm shift in most adults lives from childhood to adulthood. As a child, we believe we can be anyone and do anything only to have our dreams squashed by our circumstances. Yet! It is my belief that it doesn't stop there. That our circumstances DON'T have to define us and we DO have the ability to capture back the dream that God has placed in all of us.

Join me as I speak with Becky Harling, a sought-out author and speaker, as she shares with me her wisdom on how we can speak life and truth into those around us when it comes to their callings and dreams.

You can connect with Becky on Instagram @beckyharling or you can visit her website and find a list of all the wonderful resources she has written at www.beckyharling.com.

Big shout out to Mr. Miles Minnick, someone who didn't know me, was rising to the top in the Christian hip hop world and said YES to me about using his song W.Y.T on this podcast. His humility and true care for improving the lives around him is evident. You can find Miles on Instagram @miles.minnick.

Join myself, Katelyn, and Alli as we dissect the question: How can we walk in our calling?

It goes beyond our hopes and dreams. To achieve hopes and dreams, you have to start with a core set of higher character traits. By living these character traits consistently, I believe that there is blessing and our calling on the other "side."

We're all called for a purpose. We're all different people. No one person is better than another or "more capable" of achieving their dreams. It comes down to consistent execution of a set of character traits and leaning into the wisdom of God.

By aligning ourselves with these four character traits, I do believe we can make leaps and bounds toward our purpose, dream and calling.

Feel free to send me your questions or desired topics to [email protected].

Also, check out the loads of scripture below regarding the character traits discussed on the show:

Trait #1 Daniel 6:3, Philippians 4:8, Titus 2:7, I Peter 2:9

Trait #2 Titus 2:12, Matthew 5:6, Proverbs 4:18

Trait #3 Mich 6:8, Psalm 33:5, Psalm 106:3, Psalm 82:3

Trait #4 Hebrews 12:11, Proverbs 12:1. 1 Corinthians 9:27, Proverbs 29:15, Titus 1:8

Each of us view circumstances in our lives through a lens or lenses that we have set up due to things that we believe or experiences that we have had and set a belief to. Consider these lenses like an identity or a reoccurring narrative that we play in our heads. These lenses are the filters through which we see all circumstances. That is why one circumstance may negatively affect one person and not another. Some circumstances my trigger you and not me. So, how can we bend or shape these lenses so that circumstances that have destroyed us in the past no longer have the power to do so? Join me as I discuss this topic with my friend and nanny, Annalese Edwards. She brings us her life story and how it has shaped the way she sees the world at the young age of 21.

To connect with Annalese, you can find her on Instagram @annalesegrace.

And please, be sure to SHARE THE SHOW. Thank you for your support and love and remember - BE FIERCE!

Fierce is on a mission to see every woman succeed in all she puts her mind to. Too many times, we allow the world's definition of us hold us back from where God has called us to step out. In order to step into God's call on our life, we have to be FIERCE.

In Episode #1, join Katelyn and Alli as they dialogue about what it looks like to be a rule breaker and a rule follower and how those personalities shape our view of the future and how we approach our dreams. As you reflect on the discussion, perhaps you will uncover limits that you have allowed the world to put on you. What limiting beliefs are you living by and how are they stealing your God-given purpose?
