Tea and Peppersoup Podcast

How do women show up for each other ? This season being my birthday I have been truly reflecting on what it means to show up and the women who have showed up for me. I can say first hand God has always used women to open doors for me. I have seen the hand of God in every aspect of my walk on this year and he has used women who are either in my circle or out of my circle to send this point home that indeed when we show up for each other incredible things happen. I suggest few way to show up for each other:

1. Offer a hand of support when a friend needs help:

2. Vouch for each other for opportunities:

3. Make introductions for people into your networks

4. Offer a listening ear and truly listen not just to respond but to be there

5. Provide tips to each other for growth be honest and provide authentic feedback

6. Encourage each other to stay in healthy situations and not toxic ones

7. Invest financially in other women when you have the means to do so

8. Speaking highly of each other even when the other person isn’t around

This year I challenge you to think of 3 women who have shown up for you and show them gratitude in whichever way works for it. For next year think of 3 women who you want to support and think of ways you will do so!

Episode 13, Reflections of a Season

In this episode I focus on the importance of honoring the seasons we find ourselves in. I talk about three types of seasons including seasons of trial, seasons of dryness and seasons of blessings and harvest. 

I also share some of the ways I have dealt with honoring the seasons I have gone through these include:

Talk to God: Have constant communication with God during all of your seasons. Prayer is important. 

Learn your spiritual seasonal calendar: Learn when your seasons occur, and become more familiar with how to prepare for them and how to manage them whilst you are in them. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 

Wait on God: Being patient is critical particularly during seasons of trial. 

Trust in God:Learning to have faith in God during our seasons of trials is very important. 

Thank God:It is important to always exercise a spirit of thanksgiving and gratitude in different seasons in our lives. 

In this episode I tackle the importance of staying away from distractions and remaining focused on our calling and our purpose. As we are at the mid point of the year why it is so critical to take heed and remain focused on your projects and what God has called you to do. I mention that some of the distractions can be;

1. Pride

2. Comparing our journeys to others

3. Having the wrong people in our circles

4. Deceptiveness

5. Lack of Integrity

6. Paying attention to the opinions of others that may not suit our purpose

Some of the ways I suggest we remain focus on our purpose are

1. Stay prayerful and focused on God’s word.

2. Stay focused on your work

3. Build a strong community of supporters, well wishers, mentors, sponsors people who genuinely want to see you win

4. Eliminate all forms of distractions from people whose opinions may cause distraction to your work

5. Stop worrying about being seen and rather worry about doing really good work in all areas of your life

6. Do things the right way and with integrity

7. Pay attention to the people around you that matter the most
