Are you ready to be inspired? Come join us in a remarkable conversation with Shemeca Richard, a Christian blogger, author, and mental health professional who has crafted an amazing journey of overcoming the odds. Shemeca shares her captivating story of how she was divinely guided to write her devotional book "Stamina" and how she navigated through the obstacles that stood in her path. She speaks candidly about the challenges associated with pitching her book, and her realization that it didn't need to reach everyone, but just a few who truly needed its message.

This episode hones in on the integral role of rebranding and embracing one’s purpose. Shemeca provides wisdom for single mothers who are trying to embrace their dreams and fulfill their goals. She opens up about her fear of sharing her work and how she conquered the comparison trap with other authors. She stresses the significance of knowing our identity in Christ, which anchors us to pursue our purpose. To top it all off, Shemeca weaves in her experience of spearheading a successful Women's Christian Book Club and the positive influence of her motivational Mondays.

As we wind down, Shamika explores profound topics of identity, healing, and being content with the season in which you find yourself.  She gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming project - a book on identity in Christ, and its potential to guide us towards our purpose. Particularly insightful is her advice to single mothers on how they can manage their tasks and live their call. So, don't wait any longer, tune in now and let Shemeca's wisdom and experience empower your journey. You won't want to miss it!

Grief is a tempestuous sea that we all must traverse at some point, but, what if you could learn to navigate that storm with grace and resilience? Join me, Joycelyn Lewis, as I recount my personal encounter with grief, having grappled with the aftereffects of four life-altering events within a span of six months. Each wave of shock, disbelief, resentment, and sorrow carries a story, a lesson that I believe can light your path through the labyrinth of grief.

But don't be fooled, mourning is not a task to be rushed. In fact, it's an art that demands patience and sincerity. Allow me to guide you in honing this skill, as we explore the importance of rituals, honoring those we've lost, and seeking strength to weather the storm. Particularly for women, expressing grief authentically can be an empowering process, one that unwraps a new depth to our strength. So, gear up to blaze your trail through grief and healing as we journey together, cultivating a safe space for our shared experiences and growth.

Have you ever felt stuck, resistant to change and uncertain about trying something new, even when you know it could lead to growth? That's where my grandchildren, Shiloh and Josiah, come in – their natural curiosity and zeal for exploration is an inspiring reminder for us all to embrace the unknown. Their adventures, like Shiloh's candy choice dilemma, mirror our own hesitation to pivot, especially when it comes to answering God's call to new experiences. The lessons we can learn from their innocent dilemmas are profound, nudging us to keep an open mind and heart.

God is always inviting us to new things, and it's our responsibility to discover what these might be. Through reflective journaling and an attitude of gratitude, we can uncover these fresh opportunities. It might be a new church, a new job, or even a new perspective on life—no matter what it is, it's crucial to welcome these ventures wholeheartedly. As we navigate these new pathways together, let's be fiercely unapologetic, confidently unwavering, and boldly unyielding. With open hearts and minds, let's journey towards personal growth and spiritual development together.

Has it ever occurred to you that hanging onto expired beliefs and toxic relationships might be smothering your joy and potential? To breathe life into your existence, we must create room for new growth by discarding what no longer serves us. In this soul-searching episode, I, Joycelyn Lewis, attempt to help you recognize and let go of the old, stale notions that are holding you back. I open up about my own challenges with limiting beliefs, painting a picture of how they can steal your energy, motivation, and happiness. 

We take this journey of self-discovery further, examining how forgiveness can unlock the door to a healthier, fulfilling life. We dive not only into forgiving others but also into stepping out of our comfort zones. I embolden you to reflect on the relationships that may be weighing you down, urging you to release these attachments and embrace the reality that some things are, indeed, meant to expire. As we close the episode, the emphasis shifts to finding the right support, stressing how healing and learning lessons from our past can fuel personal growth. We wrap up with the strong notion that letting go of the expired things in our lives can ignite passion, resilience, and vibrancy in our homes, churches, communities, and ultimately, the world.

In this episode you will listen to a conversation with certified Enneagram Coach Paula Hollingsworth where she will share insights into the benefits of the Enneagram, descriptions of the nine personality types, resources and more.

A little bit about Paula Hollingsworth:

My daughter introduced me to two new things that have changed my life. The first was CrossFit—I’m sure you’ve heard enough about that if you know anyone who does it. The second was the Enneagram. Since my background is in psychology, I was interested. When I looked at the Enneagram and read the names of the types, I immediately thought I was the Peacemaker—who doesn’t want to be a 9, the sweetheart of the Enneagram? At the same time I started listening to podcasts and learning all of my family members types, and I began to dig deeper into my type. After some searching, I discovered I was the Perfectionist or Type 1—I’ve decided I prefer the term “Improver.” 

Since wrestling with my type, I have come to love the Enneagram and the ways it improves the lives of those around me. I began incorporating it into my professional work as a counselor in my local church. In addition to completing my Masters in Biblical Counseling, I used my passion for the Enneagram to further my journey in walking alongside others through transformation. As a Certified Enneagram Coach, I want to partner with you in taking your next step.
