Ep 36 // Your "With God" Holiday Time // An Interview with Lissa Figgins

Busy is not a disordered schedule or to-do list, it’s a disordered heart. As a midlife woman, Lissa Figgins has a lot on her plate- she's a wife, empty-nest mom, life coach, podcaster, women’s ministry leader, mentor and friend. At one point life was too busy and she found herself showing up on the outside, but not fully present. 

Something had to change because it was affecting her faith, her relationships, her work, her wellness, her home… and ultimately her joy.

Now as a Christian Time Management Coach, Priorities Protector, Recovering Should-do list Girl, she’s the Founder of REDEEM Her Time Coaching and the host of the REDEEM Her Time Podcast. Lissa’s mission is to inspire & equip Christian Women to go from Busyness to Fruitfulness in Midlife + Business.

Join Megan as she chats with Lissa to discuss:

• How God entered into Lissa’s life to invite her to shift her business messaging and plan.

• The kingdom way to investigate how you spend your time and why

• The true root of busyness and what it manifests.

• What questions you can ask yourself in order to be proactive on how you spend your holiday season.

• Why asking for the holiday survival list isn’t the first thing you need.

• What it really means that God has come to dwell WITH us.

• How Scripture is God’s invitation for us to do life WITH God, not just at Christmas but all the time. 

• The specific gifts of God that will fill us using Kingdom math!

• The importance of determining your main priorities first, then filling your calendar. 

• The importance of the big, juicy counter offer!!

Questions you’ll ask yourself in this episode:

• How are you tempted to blame your “season of life” for your busyness?

• Why does focusing on your truest values matter?

• What does the “most wonderful time of the year” mean to you? What could shift this year in order to live into that mantra?

• List out your obligations, perceived expectations, and possible distractions. What do you need to be aware of (let go of!) in order to avoid undue stress, confusion, and overwhelm?

• How can you live “by design” this holiday season so you can fill up before you pour out?

• How can you specifically incorporate “Sabbath” into your season?

• What are the MOST important things that need to fill your calendar first? Populate your calendar with your top values and then add all other things.

Megan is excited to walk this journey with you! Join her to have conversations on reframing life, love, and calling to live the life God has so purposefully created for you.
