Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Doubt is the silent killer of dreams—it sneaks in, freezes your progress, and whispers that you’re not enough. Every ambitious person faces it, but most let it derail their path to success. Here’s the brutal truth: if you don’t learn how to turn doubt into your secret weapon, it will keep robbing you of your potential. Doubt creeps in—subtle, sneaky, and relentless. Every ambitious person faces it. The crushing question: “Am I really cut out for this?” It shows up when the stakes rise, when your goals feel just out of reach, or when you stare at a blank page wondering if you...

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” ~ Jeremiah 17:7-8 When life seems like it's unraveling, trusting God changes everything. Sometimes life looks like a tangled knot—so twisted and confusing you can’t tell front from back. You’re walking through a season where everything feels upside down: plans fall apart, circumstances feel...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Marriage is meant to be a sanctuary—a place where you feel seen, supported, and capable of facing anything life throws your way. But all too often, the daily grind, the chaos of schedules, and the relentless overwhelm shift your marriage from a source of strength to a pressure cooker of frustration. Instead of feeling like a teammate, you may start to feel misunderstood and undervalued. It doesn't have to be this way—when love makes you feel capable, not crazy. That's when the entire dynamic changes. You move from surviving the chaos to thriving together, building a solid foundation that...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Mom and Dad, let’s be real—summer can feel like a never-ending battlefield. You hear it countless times: “I’m bored!”—as if boredom is some mysterious monster your kids are fighting every single day. No more boredom battles. But here’s the twist: many kids don’t truly know what boredom means these days. With screens and tech gadgets vying for their attention 24/7, boredom often becomes a code word for “I want someone else to entertain me.” Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Do you want more or something different, but struggle to keep that fire flickering? Maybe it’s dim. Maybe it’s drowned out by doubt. But it’s there — that restless urge for something better, bigger, truer to who you really are. You are worth the fight! Here’s the raw truth — no one ever started a real change when everything was perfect. Life is messier than that. Focus feels impossible when the world is pulling you every which way. Your to-do list is screaming, expectations are piling, your energy tanks are empty, and your brain keeps finding every excuse to wait. You’re not...

3739 What Needs to be a BIG Deal? show art 3739 What Needs to be a BIG Deal?

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

When it comes to healthy living, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the endless list of “must-dos” and “should-haves.” Drink more water, eat kale, get 10,000 steps, meditate daily, sleep eight hours, cut out sugar, do strength training, track your macros, avoid screens before bed — the list feels relentless. And that’s exactly where many good intentions go to die: in the overwhelming noise of “all the things.” But what needs to be a BIG deal? Life isn’t about juggling everything perfectly all the time. It’s about identifying what truly needs to be a BIG...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Life will try hard to drag you into the daily swirl of other people’s agendas, distractions, and endless to-do lists that don’t even belong to you. It’s easy — dangerously easy — to lose sight of your own purpose and settle for the scraps left over after you’ve tried to manage everyone else’s priorities. Don't you dare dim your light. Why? Because you deserve better. You deserve more than the hand-me-down ambitions and borrowed dreams that drain your energy and silence your spark.

If your brain is a noisy, cluttered mess, you won’t get far. Confusion doesn’t just cloud thinking—it demolishes action.

3736 Faith Over Fear show art 3736 Faith Over Fear

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

“The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” — Psalm 118:6 (KJV) At first glance, this verse is bold, even audacious. It’s a statement packed with strength: when God is by your side, fear of what others think, say, or do loses its grip. Faith over fear. But what does that truly mean outside of Sunday sermons or quiet moments of prayer? What does living with “faith over fear” actually look like day-to-day?

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Marriage doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and life certainly doesn’t unfold the way we expect it to. You’re dealt unfair cards, opportunities slip through your fingers, and yet — somehow — you keep insisting on having things your way. But what happened to doing life together as a couple? If you want a marriage that lasts, it’s time for a mindset shift: stop always doing what you want. Think about what you do in your marriage now. How do you make decisions? Who makes those decisions? Are they one-sided, or do both of you share your thoughts and ideas? Desire to be...

Confusion Challenges Clarity. Clarity Kills Confusion.

Imagine driving cross-country with your windshield covered in static. You think you’re moving forward until you suddenly crash into a ditch because you couldn’t see the road. That’s confusion. It’s a fog that distorts your vision so badly you can’t even tell which way is forward.

Clarity is the windshield wiper. It cuts through the static. When you get crystal clear on your destination—what you want, why you want it, and what it looks like—the noise shrinks into white noise you can ignore.

Why Does Noise Win? Because You're Feeding It.

Here’s the kicker: The noise only dominates when you give it space. If you haven’t made the brutal decision about what you want (and what you don’t), your brain defaults to reacting to the loudest voices. Spoiler alert: These are rarely your own.

When the goal is vague—“I want to be successful,” “I want to help people,” or “I want to figure it out”—your mind’s thirsty for specifics but only finds confusion. And in that vacuum, distractions rush in like vultures.

Stop Trying to Multitask Your Way Out of the Chaos

The worst thing you can do is try to shove every thought and idea into your mental hard drive at once. More noise equals less clarity, which equals less forward momentum.

Instead, prune ruthlessly.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Prune!

Choose one clear objective. Define the one transformation you provide or the one problem you solve. That’s your north star. Everything else is background static.

How to Silence the Noise?

  1. Pinpoint your destination — In one sharp sentence, answer: Who do I serve, what problem do I fix, and what transformation do I deliver? If you can’t say it, you aren’t clear enough.

  2. Write it down — Putting your goal on paper (or screen) traps the noise. Look at it daily. Let it be your reminder and your gatekeeper.

  3. Create mental boundaries — Block off distraction time. Turn off notifications. Give yourself space to focus on what matters.

  4. Reject shiny object syndrome — If it doesn’t align with your clear goal, ignore it—even if it looks like a “great opportunity.”

  5. Lean into discomfort — Silence isn’t just quiet sounds. It’s quieting your fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs. They scream the loudest when you try something new.

Clarity Accelerates You, Noise Paralyzes You

No one ever blasted off toward their dream with a storm of brain noise whipping around them. The leaders who win are those who say NO to confusion and YES to clarity, even when it feels uncomfortable. They make tough calls, set boundaries, and silence the static long enough to move forward fast.

So, what’s your move?

Are you going to let the noise drown out your potential—or are you going to get ruthless with your clarity, silence the chaos, and go all in?

Remember: If you’re not clear on where you’re going, the noise is all you’ll hear. And if that noise is in charge, you’re lost. 

But when you quiet your mind, you silence the noise—create your now.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
