Welcome back to Words Can Heal. I'm Shakira Nae, your host, guiding you through life's journey with a faith-filled perspective. In today's episode, we tackle the theme of “de-influencing,” shedding light on how external influences shape our desires.

I share insights inspired by a TikTok creator, @crystaluncut, who introduces the concept of "money dials." These dials encourage a thoughtful examination of spending habits based on genuine preferences. Explore the top 10 money dials, like Convenience, Travel, and Relationships, to align your expenditures with your true values.

Drawing from personal experiences, I discuss the challenge of being easily influenced and offer practical tips for de-influencing. Take a moment to pause, visualize how choices resonate with your authentic self, and learn to live within your budget authentically.

Welcome back to the WCH podcast, I am your host Shakira Nae.

Words Can Heal is a faith-based podcast that provides a real perspective on how to navigate life, society, and culture through the lens of faith.

Today’s episode is all about short attention spans, the culture of impatience, and finding your way in a world that is ever-changing.

In our exploration of short attention spans, we'll discuss the overwhelming feeling of having multiple mental tabs open, the allure and potential addiction of platforms like TikTok, and the warning signs that indicate our attention spans may be stretched too thin.

Shifting our focus to the culture of impatience, we'll delve into a personal journey from trusting in divine timing to succumbing to the impatience of "if it's not happening now, it's not for me." We'll candidly ponder the intensifying struggle and seek answers on how to thrive in a world filled with distractions.

Join the conversation as we reflect on the shared experience of navigating a world where short attention spans have become the norm. Find solace in the knowledge that you're not alone in this journey.
