Grace Space Christian Coaching's Fruitful Faith: Women on Mission Podcast

Here with Carrie Christensen today as she shares her story. If you craving more, but might not know what that 'more' is or how to get there, Carrie’s story will speak to you. Through coaching, she was able to figure out what to STOP doing, care less about others’ opinions, and more. From that healthy place, Carrie launched a successful business, poured into it for years, and then God invited her into an even deeper place of joy and contentment than she ever expected. If you’ve poured your heart into something and are at a crossroads wrestling with what’s next, let Carrie’s testimony minister to you.

Let’s do this again! Not a traditional podcast episode, but sharing highlights from a recent read & a few coaching questions to pair with them.

If you love to read and soak up the insights that come from digging into a good book but are short on free time, I’ve got you.

This week, we’re diving into the Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success & Happiness by Jeff Olson.

Remember to subscribe to Fruitful Faith so you don't miss a thing!

Jenna’s story is maybe unlike any you’ve heard - she experienced a traumatic brain injury and shares her personal account of what life looked like in the years after - including both the uncertainty as well as faith & hope that followed.

If you are navigating a time of uncertainty and could use a dose of faith or hope, her story will speak to you. It may look different from your own, but her source of strength (and yours!) are one in the same. Simply put, Jesus.

Her story is captivating and although it may look different from your own, it’s also God’s story and your story. If you could use some faith based wisdom in your life right now, this conversation is it.

Do you love to read but just don’t have the time to do it as often as you’d like?

I know so many of the women I work with can relate!

If you love a good book (specifically non-fiction) and the insights that come from it, but are short on free time, I’ve got you.

Testing out a little something on the podcast today- a short book review, if you will!

I’ll be sharing highlights from a recent read & a few coaching questions to pair with them.

This first book we’ll dig into is written by Jenna Shotmeyer. We’ll hear from her in one of my guest interviews coming up soon, so this is a bit of a teaser of sorts.

Her story is maybe unlike any you’ve heard - she experienced a traumatic brain injury and shares her personal account of what life looked like in the years after - including both the uncertainty as well as faith & hope that followed.

When you invest in yourself, you want it to be worthwhile (am I right?!). Your time, energy, and resources are limited and you want to steward them well!

You have motivation and drive to do all the things well. If you’re going to commit to something, you really want to go all in and make it count.

If that sounds anything like you, I’m so excited for you to tune into the latest episode on GSCC’s Fruitful Faith: Women on Mission podcast.

We’re sharing top tips from both myself and some long time clients who’ve got this coaching thing down and have experienced results that truly only are possible through Christ.

Get comfortable, grab a notebook, and enjoy!

Have you ever seen a resource (maybe a workbookbook, journal, etc) and thought to yourself- that looks so good! But… I seriously don’t have the time to start one more thing.

Or maybe you start to feel guilty about all the other resources you do have but have yet to be opened, or just have a few pages of them filled out?

You are not alone. SO many of the clients I work with (and honestly, myself too at times!) have been up against these same challenges.

But-- do not let yourself stay stuck.

THIS is exactly what today's latest podcast episode is all about. If you’re new here, welcome! And if you’ve been around for a couple of months, you’ve likely seen or heard about our From Overwhelmed to Overjoyed workbook.

It’s a super powerful resource that I want to make sure you get your hands on and don't let the fear of doing it 'wrong' or not doing it at all keep you from digging in and using it to help make your year as Christ-centered and intentional as possible.

Talking today all about how to get the very most out of your From Overwhelmed to Overjoyed Workbook. Enjoy!

With it being a new year, it’s no surprise that health is on many of our minds.

For lots of us, our health can be one of those things that we take for granted.

We may have great intentions for our health, but our follow through can be lackluster.

It may not be a priority and can find its way to the bottom of our to-do lists.

If any of this sounds familiar to you, let’s dig into today’s episode.. How to prioritize your health!

Do you like conflict?
