Episode 82 - Leap of Faith with Makenzie Evangelisto

Recently I've been speaking with people about FAITH. Our conversations range from what is faith, to how to cultivate faith, and what to do when we "lose" faith.

Over the years I have come to believe that FAITH is a VERB.  Faith is taking action when there is no safety net. Faith is more than a "feeling". Faith is a commitment to take action, even small ones when the road is uncertain.  What fuels our FAITH and therefore our actions is a combination of heart, support, and perhaps most importantly our belief that as we step the ground will rise to meet our feet.

As I was thinking back to people who demonstrate faith in action, I remembered this episode of Mind the Gap & my interview with special guest Makenzie a few years ago. At the time, she was pursuing her nutrition degree. Today she has fulfilled her dream & launched her business!!  
​
We discuss what it means to truly take a leap of faith in the direction of your dreams.

Makenzie shares her journey of working hard to get her "ideal" job in wellness at a hospital to realizing the job was in fact not ideal and was not making her happy!

In this heartfelt conversation, Makenzie shares how she took a leap of faith by leaving her job -- in order to align with work that is truly fulfilling and supports the lifestyle she wants.

We discussed everything from emotions that arise (fear/guilt) when we go off the "traditional/safe/expected" path to money matters and staying the course. Makenzie is refreshing to listen to!  She is a living example of someone dedicated to personal development and serving others by teaching them through her own journey. Makenzie understands the value of commitment, getting support, and enjoying the adventure of life! 
​
Makenzie reminds all of us to "pay attention" to the signs when uncovering your "bliss" and reframe "no/rejection" as the universe's way of re-directing you to your highest calling. Why do we resist so much!!!

Profound and lighthearted, this discussion will inspire you to get started, keep going, and remind you that you are not alone. Many people have taken leaps faith, and when you surround yourselves with others who have done / are doing what you want to do, you succeed!
