Possibility Realm

Feelings could be uncomfortable. It is sometimes complex for an enneagram 3 but it’s often my best teacher.

In this episode I talk about:

- The difference between being driven and called

- The process of dealing with my feelings and how I could be useful to you.

- Some prompters you could use to check in with yourself.

- My favorite buddy in the bible and how he manages his feelings.

Have you ever thought about where you are going with your life or do you let your feelings drive you to any destination?

You can be on overdrive; get to destination and realize you are outside God’s call.

Would you like me to pray with you or just have a conversation regarding your reflections?

When you experience domestic violence, you might feel alone. Well, not anymore!

You are the reason Chanel Nicole Ryan, a storyteller, documentary photographer, trauma recovery coach, domestic violence survivor wrote "Things Said." This is a book, she shares her story in words and pictures. With encouragement in her gentle voice, she invites others to share theirs. 

In this episode, Chanel shares how words are things, whether spoken, written or through an image. 

The Aha moment for me is when she said, "words are our ticket to freedom." 

Listen to this episode to find out how to use that ticket.

How do you find peace in God’s word? 

In this impactful and inspiring episode, author of “Transforming your thought life: Christian meditation in focus”, Sarah Geringer, tells us how.

This episode and the book practically show us that there is a bible verse to every struggle that we have. When we start engaging with and applying the bible, it makes all the difference.

- It helps us think about God’s word deeply.

- It changes our attitude, behavior and situation even in those areas where we may have struggled for decades.

With Christian meditation, you get all the benefits of other types of meditations, plus, the bonus of

- replacing the lies of trauma with the truth of God’s word.

- improving our memory.

- With persistence, it dismantles strongholds.

“Transforming your thought life: Christian mediation in focus” is a must-have. Please get your copy of the book everywhere books are sold.

This is a life-changing conversation with a model of what healing looks like. Sia’s theme is “all things healing in every capacity of a person’s life.” This is evident in her life and work.

She shares her favorite memory; something that taught her how to navigate life. Then, she went on to define trauma, with a focus on her perspective and experience of how diaspora parents of African descend unconsciously transmits trauma to the next generation.

We also talked about the seemingly normalization of abuse in African communities.

Points to ponder from this episode:

- Does your culture base parenting style enhance your child(ren) self-esteem? In this episode, you will learn why this is important.

- Do you encourage assertiveness; making room for children to express themselves so they can easily speak up in future?

- Your method of discipline could be cultural but is it healthy? Does it plant seeds of shame?

- Are you unconsciously putting your kids in a place of conflict between the world they live in and the place where YOU grew up?

- Is your communication style building a healthy human being?

- How can we promote a culture that respects women?

I got a lot out of this conversation but my biggest takeaway, at the top of my mind, is the importance of being aware of what I wanted as a child and using that knowledge to transform my parenting.

After listening, I would like to hear from you! What did you get out of this episode and what actions do you plan to take? If you need support, I invite you to join our possibility realm sisterhood private Facebook group.

If you take leaps jumps, giant steps of faith where will it lead you?

In this episode, I had the wonderful opportunity to talk to the brilliant Onawa Miller, a woman of impact on evolving in purpose.

She shares with us the importance of learning the language of what happens in our life and how the different parts of our lives impact our world-view and self-view. In her own life, she restructured that to see how she can use what she has been through to help others.

She is helping people with traumatic experiences understand how trauma shows up in the body and the tools to cope with that.

Her work ranges from a personal level to corporate levels and higher institutional levels, where she shed light on how adverse childhood experiences impact the workforce, productivity and the clients we serve.

She balances this by telling us ways she takes care of herself to refuel the passion. Some days, it might require disconnecting with others and reconnecting with you.

Take an inventory of your life; look back at your life story.

Being self-aware also requires us to ask for help when added. Lola and I encourage you to talk to a therapy, coach, trusted people for feedback about you.

We are often asked to renew our minds, how do we do that?

Everyday, thoughts get into our minds from diverse sources. Some of those thoughts could be positive but research shows that most people have mostly negative thoughts most of the time. 

Are there any negative thoughts that you think about on a consistent basis?

Most negative thoughts are often planted during life events but they circle around our minds and overshadow the truth of God's word. If we are not intentional on how we deal with these thoughts, we could get into the habit to focus on the negative, hindering, limiting thoughts. These thoughts are often contrary to God’s thoughts towards us.

In this episode I lead you through a guided scripture meditation to help you renew your mind.
