This episode explores the relational impact shame can have on our most cherished relationships with our spouse, family, & friends. Learn how "shame waves" interfere with our communication, leaving others confused & scratching their heads. We'll also discuss relational "shame crashes" & how to partner with God in the middle of them. We don't have to live from a shame narrative, & this episode will empower you to practically navigate through shame, stop the shame dance, & grow in increased levels of freedom.

Shame can be sneaky. I was completely clueless of the covert role shame played in my life, my eating disorder & my struggle with perfectionism. Join me as we dissect shame, distinguish between the emotion of shame versus the oppressive nature of a shame based identity, & look at the spiritual roots that keep us stuck in cycles of shame. We'll uncover some of the ways shame invites us to hide our true selves & the coping mechanisms we develop to cover our shame. 

Shame lurks in the dark places of our soul, and as we bring it to the light of God's presence, we'll take steps toward increased freedom. You can experience freedom in this area...It happened for me. And there is hope for you!

Let's be honest: Valentine's Day can be full of disappointment. If you're struggling with the Valentine Blues, know that you aren't alone. The Lord wants you to know that He sees you & He loves you, & your value as a woman isn't dependent on having a valentine! This short episode addresses some practical ways to deal with the Valentine Blues & has a call to action challenging you to spread some love & positive vibes to others who might feel alone & disappointed. Let's partner with the eternal Lover of our Soul today, cancel the pity party, & spread some love.

It requires an enormous amount of courage to make changes & take risks, & in this episode we'll process the messy, beauty of imperfect action, which enables us to reach our goals. You don't have the "be the "best" or have everything figured out before you take steps to start that biz, take a step toward your destiny, or simply move toward making healthy lifestyle changes.

In what area of your life do you want to make some progress & forward motion? In this episode we'll discuss some of the "giants" we face that keep us stuck: Small thinking, Victim Identity, Fear, & Perfectionism. Join me for this practical convo to help stop spinning your wheels & make some forward motion.

Do you struggle with the voice of your inner critic? The voice that says you're not enough. The voice that stifles spontaneity & creativity. The voice of self-doubt that speaks a narrative of shame. In this episode, we'll expose the "inner critic"- what it is, how it seeks to help us, and how it can harm us if left unchecked. And most importantly, we'll discuss several practical ways to deal with our inner critic, living from God's truth, perspective, and presence instead of being berated by that negative voice in our head.

In this episode I mention a previous podcast episode that may help on your journey of healing & identity, and here's the link for that show: https://www.connectcoach.co/podcast/episode/a9b60417/you-are-gods-baby-pink

There's an invitation from the Lord to go deeper this year, and this episode highlights two areas of relationship where we can intentionally cultivate increased intimacy. As the Father calls His Bride deeper, each of us has can respond with a resounding, "Yes, Lord," but it requires action on our part. Join me for this practical conversation about going deeper with God AND with other people. The Kingdom of God really boils down to love & relationship. What will you RSVP to His invitation to go deeper?

This episode encourages you to start 2022 in alignment with God. We'll explore some specific questions to ask the Lord, talk about the current season you're entering, and discuss practical ways to release and entrust your fear to Him at the outset of this new season. You are not alone as you journey into the new year. Joshua 1:9 says, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." And that promise still stands! His presence is greater than our fear. His nearness is greater than our discouragement. And His strength is greater than our insecurities.

It's my prayer that 2022 will bring increased partnership with God as we consistently posture our hearts in complete honesty & vulnerability, knowing our faithful God meets us & invite us into increased intimacy as we journey with Him.

Hope. We all want it. We all need it. But why do we struggle to live out the reality of it? In this episode we'll discuss the battle for hope and expose the 2 voices vying for our attention. As I share about my recent experience of being crippled with fear & anxiety for a couple of days, I hope you'll be encouraged to let the Lord meet you in the middle of your messy moments to breathe His hope over your heart and emotions.

Do you experience regret at times from being impulsive? I do. When emotions are ramped up, my impulsive responses to others usually don't go very well. In this episode, we'll discuss the source of impulsivity & how to practice responding to the Holy Spirit in those moments instead of  giving in to our flesh.

We're all in process as we grow more like Jesus, and God gently meets us in the middle of our mess and impulsivity with His love, forgiveness, and kindness. This episode will inspire you to increased partnership with the Holy Spirit when your emotions are ramped up. Practicing an "open door" policy with the Lord is a relational process of yielding and surrender. And I'm so thankful we can access the power & beauty of His divine love when we least deserve it.

Is God calling you to "Move On" in a certain area of life? In this episode, we'll explore 3 facets of Moving On & hone in on what it looks like to partner with God in our thought life. We experience new levels of victory in our lives as we learn to embrace God's thoughts & perspectives, while letting go of the lies of the enemy. We can engage the God- as we ask, seek, and receive increased revelation from His heart- and that becomes the launch pad from which we anchor ourselves. 

We can "Move On" in confidence as we partner with the Father in our thoughts, perspectives, and mindsets, but it all comes down to relational connection with Him minute by minute.
