I’m super happy to be talking about this topic titled “Divine Turnaround: A Journey from Pressure to Abundance” 

So what exactly is this episode about? Well, I share five amazing stories of women who have three common themes in their lives: stories of struggle, resilience, and divine grace.

Friends, I've had the privilege to witness their firsthand transformative journeys from a place of challenge (Point A) to a realm of fulfillment and purpose (Point B). Their stories are testaments to the power of faith, the strength found in adversity, and the miraculous workings of divine turnaround.

Here are the ladies at their place of challenge (Point A) and what they were dealing with:

Lady A- Primary breadwinner, tried to stretch a dollar to feed her family + was on a debt-free journey

Lady B- Pressure to pay her college tuition

Lady C- Dissatisfied and exhausted with job and desired to live on a farm

Lady D- Tried to figure out her purpose and was overwhelmed (didn't know where to start).

Lady E- Caregiver of two relatives with significant needs.

These women, each unique in their struggle, shared a common denominator: pressure. It was not just any pressure, but the kind that pushes you to the brink, forcing a choice between remaining in discomfort or leaping into the unknown. Yet, it was this very pressure that became the catalyst for change, propelling them towards a leap of faith.

Welcome to my latest podcast episode! I was inspired by Kathie Lee Gifford's book, "It's Never Too Late," and a series of losses and closed doors that I personally experienced this past December.

At times, it can feel like life has given us too many obstacles and challenges. We may think that it's too late to chase our dreams, make a change, or find happiness. But the truth is, it's never impossible and it's never too late.

In this episode, I want to remind you that no matter what age or stage of life you're in, there are always opportunities waiting for you. It's all about having a positive mindset and being open to new possibilities.

I'm so excited to announce the launch of Truth Cove - a pioneer Christian empowerment website. Through Truth Cove, people will find new dynamic thoughts.

This podcast is a behind-the-scenes of my launch!

The official launch date is July 7th, 2023 (7.7.7) - which biblically signifies completeness, fullness, and seven-fold recompense.

Truth Cove was created out of a desire to provide believers with the tools and guidance they need to live a life guided by faith. We believe that through Truth Cove, more people will be empowered to become faithful disciples of Christ.

Process can often feel like a tedious task that takes too long! However, taking the extra time (through the process) to go through each step in life is always worth it.

In this podcast episode, I do a case study about a lady who skipped the process and lost her business.

1. Not following procedures can lead to mistakes or oversights that could have otherwise been avoided. Process provides structure and helps reduce errors.

2. Understanding the legal aspects of running a business is important. 

3. Without planning ahead and mapping out your goals and objectives, it can be difficult to measure where you are in relation to those goals. 

Integrity in life coaching, business coaching, and mentorship programs has become of great concern nowadays. I initially thought the issues were only in the secular world, but I was shocked to find out that there are issues in the Christian scene as well.

Why do I say this? Since there is a vacuum and high demand within the Christian coaching scene, a few (not all!) who become a monopoly can, unfortunately, produce substandard products and services.

I've found that there is, at times, a lack of originality, transparency, and authenticity in many programs and offers, as people often copy-paste what they deem lucrative money-making businesses. There are also some Christian influencers who have faced lawsuits and backlash for misleading their vulnerable clients.

So, in a nutshell, that is what I'll discuss.

Owning your truth is not a simple task, but it’s an important one!

In this podcast episode, I discuss my personal journey that is in "authenticity phases" when I chose to "own my truth." I also discuss the challenges and difficulties that come with owning your truth.

Bottomline- Owning our truth is essential to living out our purpose on earth. When we are true to ourselves, it gives us the freedom to explore all life offers and be joyous in its many forms. We can become powerful forces for good when we allow God’s plan for us to manifest in our lives. Therefore, taking ownership of your truth is crucial to being a faithful Christian.

This is the blog post I mentioned in the podcast:

In this Christian Podcast episode, I reflect on “Giving yourself grace!” This topic is so crucial in one’s purpose journey!

PART 1: Why is it hard to be kind to yourself?

I ask the question: Give an example of a time when you showed someone else grace then… When was the last time you showed yourself grace?

PART 2: I then go in-depth into ways to be kind to yourself i.e.

· Being more patient with myself.

· Realizing it’s not a one-time event

· Permitting yourself to relax

· Stop being so hard on yourself.

· Giving yourself a break.

· Being kind to yourself

· Forgiving yourself

· Cutting yourself some slack

· Recognizing that you’re not perfect, and that’s okay.

· Everyone makes mistakes – what counts is how you learn and grow from them

· Acknowledging and celebrating your progress (small or big)

· Practicing mindfulness.

PART 3: The importance of seeing yourself the way God sees you!

Lastly, I discuss that: Giving yourself grace doesn’t mean you’re excusing your bad behavior or making excuses for yourself. It simply means recognizing that you’re human and will sometimes make mistakes. And when you do, extend grace to yourself just as you would to others

In this episode, I’m having a candid conversation…

Starting on a purpose-driven journey is exciting, energizing, and rewarding.

But… it can also be MESSY!

I’m here to encourage you! …Don’t let the messinesses deter you from shooting for the stars. I beg you…don’t let the messinesses deter you from shooting for the stars.

In the podcast, I discuss seven common messinesses one may encounter while starting their journey:

1. Producing Mediocre Content

2. Technical Difficulties

3. Criticism & Ridicule

4. Information overload

5. Feeling Embarrassed & Self-Conscious (Imposter Syndrome)

6. You can Get Distracted

7. Comparison & Competition

I end the podcast by stating…Despite all of the messinesses, here are the takeaways:

· Give yourself grace when things don’t turn out exactly as planned

· Be kind to yourself

· Your purpose-driven journey should still be a fun and worthwhile experience.

· Remember that it is okay to make mistakes, but also take the time to learn from them.

· Remember that you can achieve great things with the right attitude and perseverance.
