Today's episode hosts one of those conversations that goes straight for the heart and reminds us of the truth: that we don't need to prove anything to anyone to be worthy.

In the words of Dr. Maya Angelou, our crowns have already been bought and paid for, we just need to wear them.

And... in the words of my dear friend and today's rockstar guest…we are all queens.

From the moment I met Karin Haysbert at Brendon Burchard's Expert's Academy, I was drawn in by her spirit and captivating energy. We became instant friends and spent the rest of the weekend sitting together in sessions ( when you meet a soul sister, you just know).

I beyond blessed to have her on the podcast today and to share her wisdom with my tribe.. Karin is the author of Queen Arise: 40 Days to Liberating the Queen Within You, an incredible speaker and, as she so beautifully states, a Queen for Christ.

For the parts of you that feel unworthy, the parts of you that feel like you're a mess… and most importantly, the part of you that's ready to accept and step into the Queen that you've always been, I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.

• How to see our trials as beautiful and necessary for growth

• What it means to be a Queen

• How Karin views money mindset and body image

THINGS I ASK:

• How did you begin sharing your message the way you do now?

• What do you say to women who are holding themselves back?

• When you were suffering, what made you surrender and move forward?

• What do you say to someone who wants to hold onto their "victim" status

• How do you define the word "Queen"?

• How have you approached your challenges and fears around money mindset?

SOUL SHIFTING QUOTES:

• "We're holding ourselves in bondage. We're holding ourselves in these patterns that God has forgotten about, but we're still remembering."

• "People could not hear my voice because I would not open my mouth."

• "The truth is, if you're still here, you still have purpose. You still have destiny. There's still a lot of great things for God to use you in and do through you."

• "If I continue to hold onto the past, I am enslaving myself. You are the jailer and you are the one who can open the lock and let yourself out."

• "Nothing that happens to me diminishes my worth and value."

• "Love is giving someone what they need, even if you don't."

• "Being a queen means that you know who you are. You know what you're sent to do. And you're willing and able to say 'Yes' to that assignment."

• "I just need to believe. The 'how' is up to God, and God will reveal it step by step."
