Hey Friends, 

Can we talk about Hard Conversations?

Hard conversations define our lives - the ones we have and the ones we avoid. After experiencing a complete personal collapse 15 years ago where I lost friends, support systems, and watched my child suffer, I learned the transformative power of speaking difficult truths. This raw, heartfelt episode explores why the conversations we fear most are precisely the ones we most need to have. When we stay silent about our hurt, boundaries, or needs, we become trapped in cycles of shame, self-doubt, and unfulfillment. Whether it's telling someone how their words made you feel small, setting necessary boundaries, or speaking up about your worth in business - these conversations liberate us from patterns that keep us stuck. The silence that feels safe is actually the cage that holds us back. I share practical guidance for approaching difficult conversations with grace - centering yourself in prayer first, clarifying your intentions, focusing on the desired outcome, and remembering that hard conversations aren't about exploding but about healing. Your business won't grow if you're afraid to speak up about pricing. Your relationships won't deepen if you can't express how you truly feel. Your healing journey stalls when you suppress your authentic voice. Your worth isn't determined by others' comfort with your truth. You deserve to be heard, to be seen, to have your boundaries respected. What hard conversation have you been avoiding? It might be exactly what sets you free. Join me in discovering how speaking your truth with grace can transform not just your relationships and business, but your relationship with yourself.

In this heartfelt episode, we explore the crucial topic of Creating Boundaries in parenting. Inspired by recently seeing numerous distressing stories of children abusing their parents, we continue the conversation from our last episode, Changing Perspectives. We delve into how shifting our perspectives can lead to healthier relationships and why setting boundaries now can pave the way for a happier life in the future.

 We have to have boundaries in life, not only to get things done, but in parenting as well. 

Here's a few tips for setting boundaries with your children 

• Provide Structure: Rules give children a sense of security and predictability.
• Teach Responsibility: Clear rules help children understand their responsibilities and the consequences of their actions.
• Promote Respect In Your Home: Rules foster respect for family values and authority.

• Encourage Participation:  Ask your children what boundaries do they have for their lives?
• Discuss Expectations: Talk about why boundaries are necessary and what you hope to achieve with them.

Transformative Mindset Shifts Inspired by The Color Purple

Fantasia plays a powerful role of Ms. Celie, a woman brusied, misused, disgarded, but not broken because she dared to keep getting back up again!

After watching the movie, you'll find yourself on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Here are three powerful mindset shifts that the narrative encourages you to embrace:

1. You Are Worthy:    The movie beautifully underscores the importance of recognizing your inherent worth. Through the characters' experiences, you learn that self-worth is not contingent on external validation. You are deserving of love, success, and happiness simply because you exist. The film inspires you to break free from societal expectations and embrace the truth that you are inherently valuable.

2. Find Your Tribe    A central theme in the movie revolves around the impact of community and genuine connections. It emphasizes the significance of finding your tribe – a group of people who support, uplift, and understand you. The narrative encourages you to seek out those who resonate with your values and aspirations. Building a tribe provides a sense of belonging and a support system that propels you forward on your journey.

3. Your Past Does Not Determine Your Future:    One of the most powerful messages the movie conveys is the idea that your past does not define your destiny. Regardless of the challenges and traumas you've faced, the film inspires a shift in perspective. It encourages you to break free from the shackles of your history and recognize that you have the agency to shape your own future. Your past may shape you, but it does not have the power to dictate the trajectory of your life.

In summary, the movie prompts transformative shifts in thinking – acknowledging your worth, finding your tribe for support, and realizing that your past does not hold the key to your future. As you internalize these lessons, you embark on a journey towards personal growth, resilience, and the creation of a life aligned with your true self.

Finding the right person to help you can be tricky. You want to leap into your journey with a trusted advisor. However, all mentors and coaches are not the same.

I recently met a business mentor at an event. She shared her topics of expertise as we talked about some recent changes in the business world. This felt like a mutually interesting, and rather pleasant conversation. Minutes later, she ushered her friend to come over to chime in, who was also a business coach. Immediately, the tone changed from warm and inviting to cold, over-powering and direct. The other coach immediately started to find fault and poke holes in our meaningful conversation.

This interaction led me to this realization; There is much to consider when choosing the right helpers in our lives. I would caution anyone to start with your personality type when seeking a coach or mentor.

In today's episode, I sit down and give you some practical tools for finding the right person to help you with the major decisions in your life. So, grab your coffee and listen to this eye-opening episode.
