Have you ever quit something because it took too long to work? Do you find yourself in a rush, wondering why it’s taking so much time? We set goals, we ask for blessings, we work towards desired results, and then— if you are like me, we go “ALL IN” … what do you do when it’s not happening fast enough? It is so easy to be in a hurry and then wonder WHY the thing we’ve worked so hard for, isn’t happening. How do we access the grit and perseverance necessary to stay committed to our goals, even when they are taking FOR-EV-ER? How can we cultivate the virtue of patience gracefully without all the resistance, discouragement and frustration? How can we consistently and persistently show up “ALL IN” as we pursue our ambitions… despite delayed or non-existent outcomes? The truth is, “It takes as long as it takes” AND It truly IS possible to find Joy in the Journey, regardless of delays, detours, and speed bumps. Join me as I explore the law of gestation, the law of the harvest and the intricacies of this truth, “It takes as long as it takes”. I challenge you to turn finish lines into mile-markers and drop the frenetic pace that leads to burnout and quitting. Take a breath and get really present- allowing yourself to celebrate wins and enjoy the journey. SEE, SAY and FEEL in high frequency. Understand the law of the harvest and the law of gestation. Release every smidgen of: force energy, controlling timetables; and pushing agendas. Surrender to God’s divine and perfect timing. Realize this life isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. We can generate how it will feel there, right now, while we are here. We must cultivate self-belief first, before the evidence will follow. A rigid, results based, fixed mindset rushes. A flexible, process driven, character focused mindset, founded in trust and love waits. The question is, will we keep a good attitude when there is no progress? Will we continue to show up in alignment and do the work required if the reaping is not forthcoming? Have faith, cultivate patience, trust the process. What is meant for us is coming to us. Have faith, God isn’t finished yet. He is setting the stage. He is orchestrating all of the moving parts and His timing is perfect. You are stepping IN to your divine greatness and… It takes as long as it takes. /episode/index/show/2689530c-7d4f-4dba-823a-97f8211718ca/id/25397049

You can WANT it, but you can’t NEED it - Episode 5 12/05/2022

You can WANT it, but you can’t NEED it - Episode 5 Get your free tutorial by clicking on the link: "" Do you base your success or failure on the amount and quality of validation you get from others? Have you ever shut yourself down from sharing or putting yourself out there because you are concerned about what people might think about you if you do?How important is it to you that others approve of you? In this episode I will take you on a deep dive into these questions. As a recovering people pleaser, I know all too well the hazards of buying into other’s opinions about me and my work. The problem is, when we let praise inflate our ego and use the compliments of others to prove we are a good person and doing ok… the natural consequence is that the opposite happens with criticism— criticism then leads to insecurity where we feel vulnerable, insignificant and small. Everyone WANTS to be liked and appreciated, it feels amazing!! But, if we NEED external approval and validation to allow us to feel ok about ourselves it becomes a huge problem. When we use extrinsic factors such as praise, rewards, prizes, titles, other’s approval… when we choose to make this external validation mean we are good and valuable, then, when we don’t receive the external affirmations we easily fall into the trap of questioning our value. Furthermore, when we only get disapproval and criticism from another, it can devastate our self-esteem and crush our self-belief. As I will endeavor to show you, when it comes to external validation, a desired result, praise, the approval or acceptance of others, “You can WANT it, but you can’t NEED it.” If we are to let go of needing outside validation, we must work to develop a beautiful relationship with ourself. This is your business!! You are the one you will spend every moment of every day with- Choose LOVE!! As Byron Katie says, “You don’t have to like me, that’s my job”. My job, is taking credit for every one of my thoughts, feelings and actions. Loving myself means “owning my truth”- having my own back, being on my own side, it means being the “Juciest peach I can possibly be”. It means being the Candiciest Candice I can be. As we fly our freak flag, the people who are truly "our people" will be able to find us. You are not for everyone and that is exactly as it is supposed to be. My opinion of myself is absolutely 100% my business and I’ve decided— I LOVE ME! I challenge you to make this courageous decision for yourself. “What do you NEED in order to feel good about you?” Take a look at your past and what motivates you. Are you addicted to the drug of approval? Does criticism rock you?… The question again— “What do you need to feel good about you?” This is a decision you can intentionally make and deciding that “You can want it but you don’t need it” will have a powerful stabilizing impact on your self-belief, confidence and emotional health. So… When it comes to your kids, spouse, parents, siblings, friends, acquaintances, strangers, neighbors, co-workers, boyfriend, clients, customers…. You can want external validation and approval, but you can’t need it… and… you won’t need it as you genuinely believe and always remember, despite any other opinions, that… You are designed for greatness. /episode/index/show/2689530c-7d4f-4dba-823a-97f8211718ca/id/25211118

Living with 100% Commitment and Zero Expectation Designed for Greatness 4 11/21/2022

Living with 100% Commitment and Zero Expectation Designed for Greatness 4 Get your free tutorial by clicking on the link: "" Do you ever want to control the outcome of certain events? Have you ever been suffering and wished you could force a miracle to happen?Have you ever felt complete confidence in how you think a situation should play out and then felt disappointed when your expectation wasn’t realized?Do you expect superhuman results in every role you play and end up feeling like a failure when you can’t “do it all”? In this episode I share what I have learned about the issues inherent with expectations, and the power of genuine surrender. My hope is that this podcast will touch your heart and inspire you to uplevel the way you see and think about God, yourself and your life. Ultimately, I hope to inspire you to live with 100% commitment and 0 expectation. There truly is opposition in all things. Where God uses Faith, Satan’s counterfeit is expectation. As we become aware of the difference, it’s like GI Joe says, “Knowing is half the battle”. Analyze your life- What expectations do you have? Are they serving you? How can you lean into being 100% committed instead? Examine your definition of success and Faith to help you let go of the expectation. Have hope, have vision, have faith, have goals, have charity, and strive to eliminate expectation. Watch out for when expectations land you in force energy. When you feel urgency to control something, it is time to re-evaluate. When you notice the tendency to demand something from God or yourself, you can know with 100% certainty, it is not healthy or in alignment. God is all about free agency. God will never force or control us. He will give us a 50/50 life experience, where there is opposition in all things, but what we decide to think, how we decide to feel, and the actions we choose to take are always up to our agency- God will never make us think, feel or do anything against our will. That was Satan’s plan. Satan loves expectations. Satan’s counterfeit to pure faith is expectation. Satan is all about controlling, manipulating, forcing and demanding. God desires a willing, trusting heart… and although God won’t always deliver us from the trials, he will help us endure them AND he will use them to refine us into better upon better versions of ourself. When we don’t get what we expected, and in this life it is inevitable- we will experience all sorts of blows to what we think should happen- if we aren’t willing to relinquish our expectations and surrender, then these blows will shake and destabilize our faith. The tighter the grip on our expectations about our life, the more catastrophic the hit to our relationship with God, and ourself. I hope you will join me in striving to live with 100% commitment and 0 expectation. Through it all, always remember— YOU ARE DESIGNED FOR GREATNESS!! /episode/index/show/2689530c-7d4f-4dba-823a-97f8211718ca/id/25083612

Being happy for what we have while working for what we want - Episode 3 11/08/2022

Being happy for what we have while working for what we want - Episode 3 Get your free tutorial by clicking on the link: "" Have you ever felt guilty for wanting more out of life? Do you desire something different, better, or yearn for a change? Has there been a time in your life where something that used to light you up, now seems mundane and you long for more? If you‘ve ever felt unsatisfied and a longing for something more or different or better…, congratulations!!! This is the best news ever because it means you are in tune with your spirit! These nudges of discontent don’t have anything to do with being ungrateful or selfish… they don’t mean you aren’t good enough or that you are messing up in some way… these dissatisfied feelings we experience are simply: little pushes from our spirit; and invitations from God to become more! When we start to get too comfortable, too indulgent, too content, God and our divine spirit will plant in our hearts the desire for something more. We will experience divine discontent. The secret is to recognize the truth behind the restlessness we feel— it is an invitation to grow!! AND, the way we use the divine discontent to grow and create the life of our dreams is to do as Helen Keller says, “Be happy with what you have while working for what you want!!” Problems arise when discontent is misunderstood. Often, when our brains are running on default with the lower brain driving, we fall into the messed-up mentality where we make the discontent mean: we are messed up; or we are messing up our life. The restlessness that comes up as we get bored with our circumstances…, or too comfortable in our job… or unsatisfied with our life… is misinterpreted as evidence that we are failing or not enough. Without awareness and intention, most well-meaning humans use this relestness to unwittingly create feelings of discouragement. If we aren’t deliberate about head hygiene and being the boss of our brain, it is easy to slip into the snare of making “wanting something more” mean we aren’t good enough or that we are selfish and ungrateful— which are lies Satan feeds us to shut us down and keep us stagnant in our cave. There is a powerful strategy to keep you on the path of using the discontent that arises to serve you. There is a secret weapon for keeping your discontent positive. The magical recipe for creating more growth, connection, and contribution from our dissatisfaction is to “Be happy with what you have while working for what you want!” It’s all about gratitude and faith. Where in your life do you feel dissatisfied? What exactly do you want? Accept your dissatisfaction as an invitation to grow. Set some goals and take the uncomfortable but necessary steps to develop skill sets and enhance your gifts so that you can more fully engage in your internal journey to know yourself and your external journey in service to others. Analyze the emotions you feel in your body and think about the thoughts that are in your head. Pray for discernment, gratitude, faith and courage. Do not fall for Satan’s snare of letting dissatisfaction lead to discouragement. Decide to see discontent as a wink from heaven, leading you into more connection, contribution and growth. As we let the dissatisfaction about where we are currently, drive us toward growth, the secret is to put the powerful formula that Helen Keller is known for to work! Be happy for what you have while working for what you want. Friends- You are meant for great things!! Thank you for listening— You are designed for greatness!!! /episode/index/show/2689530c-7d4f-4dba-823a-97f8211718ca/id/24938412

In this episode I will dive into these questions and present you with the powerful, dare I say MAGICAL alternative to shame for motivating ourself and others to change— AMAZING GRACE!!! The success of using shame to elicit a change, comes at a cost… every time. The cost of using shame to motivate is destroyed relationships. You can NEVER hate yourself into any change! The truth is, you can only white-knuckle it so long. Gritting your teeth in order to attain self-discipline isn’t sustainable. Beating yourself into submission will never give you the long-term motivation necessary for impactful lifestyle changes and genuine transformation. The reality is, ripping yourself apart, in order to change, destroys your most important human relationship, your relationship with yourself. It nurtures the belief that you are flawed - that you are unworthy of love and belonging unless you achieve a certain result. Once your self-belief and confidence is in the toilet, this negative self-concept colors the way you see everything in your life. Not only does shame destroy your relationship with you, but every other relationship in your life suffers as well. Engaging in negative self-talk results in Shame, and shame is NOT the answer. Grace, AMAZING GRACE, is the magical ingredient to genuine, transformative change in behavior. Grace is not something we qualify for or achieve. It is something we receive from God or others. It is something we can give to ourselves, despite evidence to the contrary. GRACE generously gives what is NEEDED, not what is deserved. AND, what is needed is always some act of unconditional LOVE. Grace looks upon the heart, and sees the divine potential despite what reality looks like at the moment. Grace understands that LOVE wins… every time- Charity never fails. When long-term changes in habits are required to achieve a goal, transformation is only available if one can learn to utilize grace- AMAZING GRACE!!
