019 The Tension of Walking In My Unique Design When All I Wanna Do is Fit In

This episode was chosen BY YOU and FOR YOU. In this solo episode, I talk about the tension that we experience when we live freely but all we desire is to fit in. How do we discover who we are? What do we do when the environments around us don't feel safe? How do we show up as ourselves when we just feel too difficult to love?

Join me for this real and raw conversation in my virtual living room. I'd love to hear your thoughts and what stands out to you. And if you need a safe space to grow and process in community, let me know and I'll get you connected with a guest pass to our next event.

"Are you positioned for abundance?" "Have you given yourself permission to have a life you love?"

Over the last six months, this is the question I've been wrestling with and the Lord's been challenging me with. In this episode, we briefly dive into John 10. What does Jesus say about this "abundant life"? Do you believe you deserve it? Why or why not? And what are some thing that may be holding us back from stepping into this abundant life before us. Warning: I get a little emotional but what's new. I love you and I want to see you step into abundant life.

So if you feel like you've been waiting in the wings for whatever it is or living passive, this is the episode for you. Straight from my heart to yours. I pray you feel loved and encouraged.

Mike started attending therapy and addressing traumas in his life and now encourages others on their journeys as well. If you have wondered "Why therapy?" "What is the value of it?"

About Mike:  

Mike Guess is a father and creative who spent many years working in the music industry as an artist, producer, and engineer. However, when the pandemic brought the world to a standstill, Mike's life took a new direction. He recognized the need to confront the traumas he had experienced throughout his life and started attending therapy sessions, which had a profound impact on him. 
 

Inspired by his own transformation, Mike launched Be Good Brand in November 2021, with the goal of promoting the benefits of therapy and ending the stigma surrounding seeking help. The brand has made a profound impact, with a growing community of advocates in 49 states and three countries. Mike and his team continue to advocate for the power of therapy, the importance of mental health, and spreading hope and positivity.
