I wanted to share this episode with you because like a famous vocalist who is in a lot of hot water at the moment, therefore, I won't say her actual name says: "The Truth Hurts"

But this truth was too good not to share!
Hope you enjoy

Vacation is good for the body, mind and soul!
This episode is a reflection on how being in Jamaica really helped me to overcome some long-standing issues of defeat.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL HEAR:

• What being in Jamaica taught me
• How I finally came to a healthy and whole-hearted place of acceptance
• A challenge for you to seek the same change and acceptance that I FINALLY have experienced!

Also, I got stung by a jellyfish in the sea, which wasn't my favourite part but I survived to tell the story --even though I thought my arm was going to fall off >_<

per·fec·tion·ism noun
A refusal to accept any standard short of perfection.

Have you ever struggled with perfectionism? Join the club...ME TOO!

WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE:

• where I think perfectionism starts
• why have I struggled with it for so long
• what I'm doing to overcome it, and things you can try too

I know how hard it is to imagine not being "perfect" or even something close BUT it's an illusion --and not to mention tiring. 
I believe that you can overcome this tendency...
If I can, then so can you!

Pain has the ability to change us completely --either positively or negatively. The reality exists that pain is one of the most efficient tools of change and growth. Unless in imminent danger, don't run from your pain, explore it!

- why pain is a beautiful instrument in God's hand
- what you can look forward to on the other side of your painful experiences

Hebrews 12:11
Romans 8:28

This week I share some of the most life-changing lessons I've learned from what may be the most unlikely books in the Bible... Leviticus and Numbers (wait, what?)

THIS WEEK YOU'LL HEAR:

• Why it is ok to hold on to our children tightly, but not TOO tightly
• Why its actually helpful to EXPECT our children to be ungrateful
• How to come to terms with the fact that there is NO formula that will produce "perfect" kids...no matter how hard we try

Listen, parenting is beautiful but can get really cutthroat out in these streets and it is perfectly normal to feel frustrated in this season of life. 

Even though it gets tough, now is NOT the time to give up!
