The Desiraé Ofori Podcast | Confidence and Bold Faith for Christian Women

Today I'm sharing some of the revelations God has been giving me when it comes to running my business, online platforms, and social media presence. The biggest lesson I've learned this month, which has propelled me forward with everything else, is to do what God told me to do the first time. Life, business, marriage, motherhood, and everything else are so much sweeter in God's way, instead of in our own. Put down the idol of social media, self-idolization, and self-serving behaviors that lead you further away from God's plan for your life. Instead, learn to lean into servant leadership in God's way. We are called to serve, as He leads. Every way that He leads us, is for our good, surpassing everything we could ever dream of or imagine for ourselves.

Taking care of your Mental Health and going to Therapy is trending! However, there are so many myths and misconceptions about what it's like to be IN therapy and what it's like to BE a therapist. Today I have an open conversation with Misty Seybert, a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She specializes in children, teens, college students, families and couples on a variety of issues, such as but not limited to relationships, anxiety, identity issues, crisis situations, grief, self-harm (cutting), self-esteem, women’s issues, parenting, and daily life challenges. For the last 15 years, Misty has also taught Psychology and Counseling on an undergraduate level. Misty is also a Christian and brings an added element of understanding when it comes to bridging the gap between Faith and receiving Professional Mental Health care.
