Win the Day Podcast

Have you been feeling lonely, overlooked or unseen lately? Are you lacking connection and missing relationships? I know the feeling...lots of us do. The last few years have falsely bred isolation and loneliness into many of us. 

BUT...the truth is you are not alone! There are people waiting to connect with you, know you and to hear your story. We are who we surround ourselves with but that also requires us to put ourselves in a place to be seen. We are wired for relationships! You have value to add and it starts by opening your mouth and sharing your story. 

Tune in now to hear Becky talk about her struggles with loneliness and how she's fought against it. 

Catch the challenge at the end that could land you some Starbucks gift cards too!

My word for 2022 found me loud and clear a few months ago: NEW.

In order to make room for new, we have to completely empty ourselves of our old stories, expectations, attitudes and behaviors that don't serve us moving forward. Because if any part of my capacity is filled with old I have less room to receive the fullness of God's new and best plan for me.

It's scary to let go of what you know and what's grown comfortable but once I did I had peace but also an excitement. Excitement because I knew I was stepping into a new season where I was finally walking out the story I was always meant for.

Tune in to hear how I'm starting this NEW season God showed me with all past hurt, chaos, stress and distractions eliminated so I can now walk in a NEW way. It’s a NEW season. It’s a NEW day and I can’t wait to see what God is going to do with this new seed. Who is ready to step into a NEW season with me?

Vulnerability. That was my word for 2021.

I cringed when God brought this word up in me a year ago. Emotional exposure? No thanks. Hard pass. But every time I shut down the word it only got louder and louder, making it ever so obvious this was exactly what I needed to work on.

I've spent my entire life protecting myself from the very word. I shut others out. I built a wall around my heart and a safe around my emotions. I tucked away my most inner thoughts and desires and ignored their very existence. But this year that all changed.

Listen now to hear how vulnerability lead me to my biggest year of growth, transformation and breakthrough.

Happy Thanksgiving friends!

Can I be honest? I didn't want to make this podcast...gratitude was feeling more like a forced smile. But I knew that was the very reason I needed make it.

I’m not naive to hard things. My passport has the stamps to prove it, just like yours probably does. I know the weight of hardship and all consuming hurt. Holidays can bring out the tender places and resurface our stories with twisted endings. Perhaps this year being thankful is the last thing you feel like subscribing to. Maybe being surrounded by family and friends with different stories than you feels cruel. Or maybe loneliness feels like it’s taking you out at the knees. Friend, I see you and I hear you. We can’t run from our stories and we can’t erase our feelings. 

It's not one or the other, it's both/and.

So many of us have stories with unresolved endings. The desires of our heart have gone unfulfilled to this point. No baby to hold, broken relationships, unhealed sickness, loneliness, lack of financial provision…it’s just not the hand of life we wanted dealt to us.

We can get stuck in the 'whys'....Why is my story different than I thought it would be? Why is this happening to me? Why won’t others move towards me?

It's challenged me to think, where is my source of joy? Have I placed it in circumstances instead of something dependable, reliable, consistent? Listen in and join the conversation with me as we talk about if it's all stripped away can it still be good?

I don’t fit in. I’m always overlooked. I feel so alone. No one sees me. I wish I had someone I could talk to that gets it. I don’t belong anywhere. Nobody understands me.

I feel out of sorts, invisible even. Every part of my story that’s led me here now points to my not belonging here. I wonder if it’s as obvious to me as it is to everyone else? I try to bury the thought but the emptiness has got my head twisted. It follows me around like a shadow. The lonely, sinking feeling always lurking over my shoulder to remind me that my pieces don’t fit like everyone else’s do.

Listen now to hear Becky talk about what the lie 'nobody understands' is keeping us from believing and what can happen when we use our story to move towards people instead of away from them.

I’m so behind. Everyone else has it figured out. What will other people think? How many likes and reactions will this post get? Everyone expects me to have it all figured out. What does everyone else think I should do?

I fell victim to an invisible belief system years ago.

The lie that ‘everyone’s watching’ speaks to the disease of people pleasing. We don’t just want people to watch, we want them to approve. We want applause and affirmation. We want to win others over with our highlight reel and hope they don’t notice the filters, editing and camera angles it took to produce the false product.

Listen now to hear Becky talk about what the lie of 'everyone's watching' is keeping us from believing and what can happen when we stop prioritizing other people’s perception over God’s purpose.

I am being punished for my past.

You’ve got a busted story? Me too. Things didn’t turn out the way you thought they would? Me too. Survived a broken heart? Me too. Made some serious mistakes in your past? Me too. Hurt those you love? Me too. Wish you could go back and play it out differently? Me too.

Consuming, isn’t it? To be caught on a loop that plays your mistakes over and over, frozen in a former world that hurts every time you touch it. The original scene plays out and now it’s joined with sequel after sequel of the sub stories I’ve written about my ugly past. Some days I feel so distracted by what happened to me I forget that it also happened for me.

I am not enough.

You’ve heard it too? The unrelenting voice that plays on loop, preys on your weaknesses and refuses to retreat? Mine speaks loudest at night when my day is done and the highlight real plays back. 

“I wasn’t a good enough mom. I wasn’t a good enough friend. I didn’t pursue my purpose enough. I didn't make a big enough difference today. I didn’t love enough. I’m not fit enough. I didn’t eat good enough. I wasn’t patient enough. I wasn’t productive enough. I didn’t make enough money. My best will never be good enough.”

The lies wash over me again and again. I wonder when they first started? Did I believe them right away or did they wear me down over time? How long did it take for me to mistake this lie for my truth?

Tune in now to learn what these lies have in common, what they are trying to cover up and what are they keeping me from?

Does your mindset need a reset?

An unchecked thought life can be an incredibly destructive weapon. A lie is so sneaky. It starts small and grows slowly over time. We get used to hearing and believe these lies that they become comfortable, normal almost. We form mindsets around them and start to claim these lies as truth when really the lie is keeping us from our actual truth, God's truth.

What lies have you grown to believe? What are your most dominate thoughts? Who in your life can help you speak to the lies when you can't trust your mindset? What does God say about who you are?

Join me and 'self proclaimed' mindset expert Jason Pannell and we learn how to detect a lie, administer truth and build a different mindset.
