Head to Heart

Do you know what's next for you? 

Do you wrestle with feeling unsure if you're discerning God's voice or leading correctly?

Do you suffer from analysis paralysis? In a world where you could do anything, it can be difficult to just choose 1 thing as a next step. 

Bailey Stone is a certified life coach who specializes in helping women discover what God has created them to do and become confident in pursuing it. She has a gift of bringing clarity and diffusing the temptation to overthink, which can stop us in our tracks from choosing anything or truly going after the passions the Lord has placed in our hearts. If you need more direction or confidence in your calling, Bailey is the most encouraging and inspiring person to learn from.

I highly recommend this episode for all seniors and anyone going through a life transition. Life is too short to be anyone other than who God has called you to be.

Why did it feel so much easier to make friends while you were in school?

Your post grad years are filled with change, and that applies to your friendships as well. 

Yohanna Smith is a wife, mom, and the host of Girls Talking Life podcast. She is an expert at encouraging others in faith, life, and friendships.  I asked her the question, "How we can make the transition from college to post grad easier for our friendships when they will inevitably change?"

Intentionality is key in this season. Your friendships will look a bit different, but they can also get better.

How can you maintain a healthy body image when your body goes through some changes? How do you stop comparing yourself to how you looked before? How can you start to feel at home in your own body? Our culture is starting to step away from advertising only one type of body, but it also sends out the message that "You're perfect. Love yourself!" Without fail, though, this ideology doesn't withstand the difficult circumstances or life's seasons when our bodies confirm to us that we live in a fallen world. We cannot even begin to appreciate our bodies without God's perspective of us first. Rebekah Olson is a wife, mother & lingerie designer who is dedicated to encouraging women to ditch the comparison game. She owns Ginger & Peach Lingerie, which is a model-free lingerie company, so that you only ever see the pieces on yourself. She teaches us how to see our bodies as the Lord sees them, that they are wonderfully made, and that they are God's gift to us. All of life's changes will inevitably take a toll on our outward appearance, but God doe snot want us to see ourselves with disgust or discontentment.

The post-grad years are filled with change, transition, and adjustment. You're figuring out moving, friendships, jobs, money, and everything that goes with it. So, I brought on an expert to help you navigate through it.

Bailey Stone is a certified life coach who specializes in helping women find clarity and confidence in their God-given calling. 

I talked to her about what to do if you find yourself at a job you really don't like. We talked about:

- what to do if you're in a toxic or hostile work environment

- the freedom you have to change your mind

- how to look for a different job

- how to cultivate your passions, even if it isn't your full time job yet

While Bailey's full episode will be released in the upcoming weeks, I saved this excerpt just for subscribers.

Do you ever ask God to lead you and then feel as if He doesn’t directly tell you what to do?

Has He made it super clear in some decisions but then left it up to you in others?

Erica Renaud gave us such amazing advice for the times in life where we have a decision to make, but no idea what to do about it. She teaches us to pray in a way that won’t lead to overthinking or doubting His leading.

Do you feel like the verse to "pray without ceasing" is unattainable? Or just sounds exhausting? Do you fear God is disappointed in the cobwebs in your prayer closet? Or maybe you feel a lack of faith when you pray? Erica Renaud is a wife, mom, author, and speaker who gives us such practical steps to cultivate an active prayer life, take the pressure off, and teaches us to not overthink it. She encourages you for moments when you're wondering: - What to do in dry seasons where your faith is struggling or you're filled with doubts - How to look back and remember God's care and faithfulness - What to do when you don't have the emotional or mental capacity to make space for prayer Resources: Pray With Me by Erica Renaud- https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/pray-with-me-erica-renaud/1142143633 The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence - https://www.amazon.com/Practice-Presence-God-Brother-Lawrence/dp/1614279683 Prayer by Timothy Keller - https://timothykeller.com/books/prayer The Power of a Praying Woman - https://www.stormieomartian.com/product/the-power-of-the-praying-wife-paperback/ Praying Through the Bible by Donald Whitney - https://www.christianbook.com/praying-the-bible-donald-whitney/9781433547843/pd/547843 Transforming Prayer by Daniel Henderson - https://store.strategicrenewal.com/products/transforming-prayer Find Erica Here: Website - https://www.ericarenaud.org/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/erica.renaud/

Do you have trouble believing that the promises in the Bible apply to you? Maybe you believe it for everyone else, but not yourself.

Do you find yourself stuck in the same, destructive thought patterns, but don't know how to change them?

This solo episode is one of my personal favorites because I share my testimony of how the Lord taught me to discern and break partnership with lies that had been eating at me for a long time. And now, I get to teach others how to do this through this podcast about connecting the Truth from our heads into our everyday lives. This is such an essential skill that we need to use to make sure we are not taking the bait the enemy throws at us.
