Overcome to Become

What has been your biggest barrier in your life that has tried to keep you from accomplishing your goals and be successful? 

For me, there is only one thing that comes to mind: Me. I've been my greatest barrier my entire life. Can you relate, friend?

This season we are diving into how we can finally get out of our own way. Join my special guests and I as we challenge you, stretch you, equip you, and light a fire underneath you.  

No more shrinking back.  No more making excuses. No more waiting for someone else to do it for you. It's time to finally step all the way out and fully and unapologetically be who God has called you to be.

Nothing changes unless we are intentional about changing it.  A truth I have learned as I've grown older.  Calendar changes do not make anything magically happen.  If we are not careful, we will find ourselves stuck in the cycle of wanting change but nothing changing.  It is possible to finally achieve our goals. It is possible to change our habits and live a life that is less chaotic. We can actually get the things done that we have desired for so long.  It starts with reflection. Tune in as I share the end-of-year reflection process that has helped me to maintain a forward momentum year after year.

Season 5 will launch on Tuesday, February 1, 2022.  Please make sure to subscribe or follow so you'll get notified when the first episode drops.

I appreciate you supporting the podcast.  I could not do this without you. I'll see you in the new year!

ADHD is one of the most common mental health disorders. According to the World Federation of A.D.H.D., it is thought to occur in nearly 6 percent of children and 2.5 percent of adults.  Experts now believe that at least 60 percent of children with A.D.H.D. will also have symptoms as adults.
