What do you do when you reach a stumbling block on your road to success? Do you consider it the end, a sign of failure, or do you view it as a minor setback? Do you believe you will reach your goal without needing to see the final destination? Do you trust the process?

Ginny and Amanda are so excited to bring you this special episode with guest Toks Aruoture, a British-Nigerian businesswoman and the founder of The Baby Cot Shop, a luxury baby furniture brand based in London. Toks also hosts the acclaimed podcast, Living Inside Out with Toks, which focuses on entrepreneurship, faith and mindset. 

Join the ladies as they discuss how to navigate bumps (sometimes painful ones) on their journey toward their dreams. Toks is an amazing speaker who articulates thoughts and ideas with great depth while providing easy-to-use tools to stay focused through life's unavoidable "hiccups."

This uplifting and motivating discussion explores:

• How setbacks are really just detours to something better
• How fear hinders our ability to trust and blinds us to what is truly possible
• How to reinvigorate your "sight" while experiencing the pitfalls which accompany all success
• How to go with the flow and let the river take you where it needs to while trusting your Higher Power to deliver you to your highest good and purpose
• Practical tools to experience a shift in mindset when feeling stuck or hopeless
• The importance of not minimizing emotions that come up when we stumble and how to embrace and acknowledge every season of life
• Toks' "Bank of Evidence" she keeps to validate herself and her dreams when she's feeling down
