It's time for a season reflection. Listen in as KiYada reflects on the last several weeks, and informs you of where Grow Black Girl Grow is going next. Don't forget to leave a rating and review of the podcast. 

Mentions in the episode:

How are you showing up to the world? Friend, there's a difference in who we think we are showing up as, and who we are actually showing up as. In today's episode, listen to KiYada share 3 hard truths to discovering how other people see you, and stay until the end to get the 3 things you need to do to ensure you are showing up a representative of God to those you encounter on a daily basis. God has strategically designed you to be motivated by different things and when you are connected to the things you are motivated by, you can be blinded by comfort. It's time to face some hard truths. 

Have you ever heard of the term false reality? Are you unsure if you're living in a made up scenario that your mind created? In today's episode, KiYada is spilling the tea on the real reason why Season 1: Perspective came to fruition. False realities or sitcoms, as you may hear KiYada say interchangeably, are when your mind creates a fake scenario, and your behaviors exemplify the script of your inner show. Does that make sense? If you are tired of not knowing why you make the choices you make and in return behave in response to those choices, then be sure to get your paper/pen and journal to write down these 3 questions so you can check-in yourself and uncover the real motivations of your false reality. 

Are your human motivations internal or external? Friend, sometimes we make choices without knowing the driving factors behind those choices. If you want practical tools to help you identify why you make the choices you make, then take a listen to this week's episode to learn more about the difference between internal and external motivations. 

As we continue with this season's theme of The Power of Choice, learn the 6 strategies to walking in God-trinsic motivations. Listen to the episode to better understand how walking in God-trinsic motivation is an equal amount of being driven by both internal and external motivations simultaneously.  

Friend, you have the authority to put the enemy under the captivity of God, but how do you do that? In this episode, I get raw and real about the door that I left open as an entry point for the enemy to feed me whispers that seemed so innocent, but was causing me to feel anxious which led me to physically feeling faint and irritable. If left unchecked and unmanaged, the enemy will have us trapped and eventually so far gone away from the original thought that was ours to begin with. 

Today's episode will give you a new outlook on the enemy's cunning ways, in addition to verbalizing your prayers as the ultimate weapon of choosing a new thought. Listen to the episode to be validated in your experience, and to also be encourage to be practical about living a Christ-centered mental health lifestyle. 

How do you freely and rightly make choices ? If you have been struggling with intrusive thoughts and you don't know how to choose a new thought, then you are not alone. Choosing a new thought is much more challenging than just saying choose a new thought.

Welcome to season 3 of Grow Black Girl, Grow: The Podcast, titled The Power of Choice. Today's episode introduces you to this season's theme and leaves you with not only encouragement, but also practical tips to get started on choosing a new thought. Listen to this episode to better understand the foundation to choose.
