Relationships often begin with so much promise. What started out as butterflies when you see them, quickly turns into you questioning their actions and words as they let their guard down and be themselves. 

All relationships have their own challenges and problems, but a healthy relationship at the basis is often built on a foundation of trust, respect and two-way communication.  Unhealthy relationships lack those key beliefs and may swap in dishonesty, contempt and suspicion. Experts call these hurtful behaviors red flags, which can lead to an unsustainable and unhealthy relationship.

In this solo episode, we are discussing how red flags can range from differing opinions to anger issues that turn into safety concerns.  What does that term red flag mean exactly? Are all red flags the same for everyone? Is there every a reason to walk away, or does it ever make sense to address the red flag and mend the relationship?  What is the term yellow flag and how does it differs from red flags?

Some warning signs may be obvious from the get-go, while others may be trickier to detect.   We are only listing 12  red flags in this episode, but there are many more that could have been discussed.  Don't let your guard down... when it's what protects you and your peace.

“It’s not going to get easier. It’s gonna get harder,  So make yourself a person that HANDLES HARD WELL, not someone who’s waiting for the easy, because if you have a meaningful pursuit in life, it will never get easy.” - Kara Lawson

“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy” ― Jane Marczewski aka Nightbirde

In this solo episode, I’m dropping in to do a quick chat to encourage, ask questions and share a story of a young lady that touched my heart.

What if life told you, you only have a 2% chance of survival?  

That was some of what Jane Marczewski doctors shared with her as she battled cancer.  The question I’m asking you wasn’t a question for Jane, it was her reality.  Jane, aka “NightBirde” was a beautiful singer whose audition and story left every person  in shock on America’s Got Talent.  I was so intrigued to find out more about this young lady and when I did, it left me in tears and inspired. I pray Nightbirde’s journey will inspire you to think about your life and re-energize you to live fearless no matter what you’re battling with today.

“Holding on is believing that there’s only a past; letting go is knowing that there’s a future.” ― Daphne Rose Kingma

In this solo episode, we are walking the path of letting go of the life we imagined.  We all know that letting go of something or someone we longed for, dreamed of, planned for or wished for is one of the hardest things we will ever do.  

No one person’s situation is the same, but the one thing I know for sure is there are times we must let go of the past in order to embrace the NOW. 

Listen in for my tips that will help you move forward on this journey to finding peace in your life.

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us. - Joseph Campbell

LIVE April 22, 2023 @ 7:00 pm EST on Facebook: Join Dr. Gena Saxby Crawford and guest speakers discussing “How Can I Live A Balanced, Blessed and Bold Life."

Dr. Gena Saxby Crawford is the Pastor of PowerPoint Christian Ministries and founder of LSC Ministries.  You may remember Dr. Crawford from Season 1 Ep4 Pt 1 & Pt 2, this author, consultant and educator is back with a new conference called “The Room Experience”. 

“Have you ever felt uneasy in a room and decided that it was time to leave?  Have you ever been ordered to stay in one place and felt like the walls were closing in on you?  Are there rooms in your house that you loathe spending time in?  As a child, were there rooms that you were forbidden to enter?  Life will often present opportunities for all of us to experience challenges however, in the middle of the experience we often fail to see them as opportunities for growth or change. When things get interesting or uncomfortable, our first inclination is to leave the space. 

What if in this space, is your healing or answers for which you long? What if it is the will of God for you to take time to sit and stay in the place you are so adamant about running from? By definition, a room is a space that presents the opportunity for something to be done. Not only is it space, but sufficient space that fits the occasion…any occasion.  If the occasion is healing, there’s space in the room. If the occasion is forgiveness or revelation…it’s in the room!

Part of the issue with staying in the room, is the fact that where you live often has more than one room for you to retreat to. This makes it quite easy to run from one room to another, leaving pieces of you in different places. Why is staying in one room important? It allows you to stay focus, it allows you to feel what you need to feel, and let go of what you need to let go.  Staying in the room presents the opportunity for you to sit still long enough to let the tears flow, the anger grow and the peace to show.” Join us LIVE: The Room Experience - Live Facebook April 22, 2023 @ 7pm EST.

“I Never Lose.  I Either Win or I Learn” - Nelson Mandela 

Ask anyone in business if they’ve ever had to pivot and I’m sure the overwhelming response would be YES!  At some point in our lives we’ve all had to make the decision to completely change the way we’ve done something or continue to persevere. 

When businesses are looking to pivot, it is to help the company improve revenue or survive in the market. Goals for individuals are not much different from a business when it comes to improving or surviving when you think about it.  An individual may find they need to change course after a pivotal life event, when things feel off or they’re unsatisfied. Perhaps out of alignment. We can also experience some sort of inspiration causing one to pivot. 

Regardless of what the root cause, it’s important to equate a pivot with business/individual evolution rather than business/individual failure.
