Have you ever felt inspired by someone's incredible transformation, only to try the same diet or exercise program and end up frustrated because you didn't achieve the same results? Or maybe you've felt discouraged because certain areas of your life don't seem to measure up to what you see in the lives of those around you.

What if the problem isn't you or your life? What if the issue lies in the system you use to judge the outcome?

Spend 10 minutes with me, and start measuring success on your own terms.

Do you think habits happen in 21 days? Not exactly. Creating habits (especially when instituting a new routine like working out) looks different for everyone. And when we attach a time frame, we set ourselves up for failure. 

In this bonus episode, I'll share four main principles that will help ensure your success, and you'll have fun while creating change! 

How do you respond when you feel unmotivated? Last week, we talked about using reflection as a mechanism by which we identify the next best step to take when we want to create change in our lives. But there will come a day when we “don’t feel like it” anymore. What happens then? Do you pull yourself up by your bootstraps or do you ask yourself why? And what if you had a strategy that helped you move through these feelings so you could stay on the path of joy and purpose? Spend 10 minutes with me as we uncover how shifting our perspectives and asking the right questions can lead to a more joyful and purposeful life.

In this episode, we'll discuss how to take the first step towards making a change in our lives. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming to think about all the work involved and we quit before we ever begin. But what if our best next step wasn't doing "something" but instead, was based on reflection?

We must continue asking ourselves the right questions and becoming strategic in our approach to change. And it brings clarity and greater understanding of what hasn't worked in the past and what will work now.

When you feel stuck or frustrated, what kind of questions are you ask yourself? Are they judgmental? Or are they objective? Do they sound like something you'd ask a friend? Our questions (and thoughts) take us on a journey. And it's much harder to find a positive outcome with a negative question. This week, you'll find practical tips for asking neutral questions and exploring what is within our control. Spend 10 minutes and find the clarity you need.

In this episode, Marie Monville discusses the importance of engaging in activities that bring us joy, especially when we feel stuck. But sometimes, it's more about creating space for what looks like "inactivity" versus outward productivity. Do you ever feel guilty for taking some downtime? If so, this episode is for you!

Marie encourages listeners to focus on activities that are meaningful to them, whether it involves helping others or focusing on themselves. She discusses the importance of taking care of yourself like you'd take care of a guest in your home. Ready to shed the constant state of activity for renewal and peace? 

When was the last time you were "in a funk"? The truth is that we all end up there from time to time. But that feeling doesn't have to permeate our day. Today's episode explores practical, straightforward strategies to break free. And it's not as complicated as it seems. It starts with identifying and engaging in your plan even when you lack motivation. Just 10 minutes of something meaningful (the length of this episode) can get you unstuck and back on track with your day. Find out how!

Ever feel like God's love is for everyone else and not you? The truth is, His love is for everyone, but it IS also just for you. He came for you. In this episode, we'll talk about how God sees you, what He thinks about you, what it means to feel His love, and why our conversation with Him matters. 

Do you want to connect with God? Do you need a perspective shift and the freedom to discover what it means for Him to love you individually? You'll find it here. Spend 10 minutes as we discuss personalizing God's love for us.

What does the resurrection mean in your life? In this episode, Marie Monville discusses the significance of the resurrection and how it relates to our lives. She emphasizes God's redemptive work and the partnership found when we choose to believe that He is at work inside of us. But to embrace this belief, we must often overcome self-doubts. She highlights the need to stay present in the journey and challenge our perspective so we see God's redemption. 

Have you felt isolated in your brokenness? Does the pain of your circumstances seem starkly contrasted with the happiness you see in those around you? In these moments, what's needed most is someone who truly understands.

We have this (and so much more) in Christ. Paul invites us into the "fellowship of Christ's sufferings." It's a place where our brokenness meets his compassionate understanding. What better time to explore the transformative power of a relationship with God than during Easter week? 

In this episode, Marie explores the places of Jesus' suffering and the freedom that comes from trusting God.
