11. Become a Student of Your Next Transition 02/07/2020

11. Become a Student of Your Next Transition I think this is one of the most important pieces of growth: become a student of your next transition. Don't be caught off guard by the natural progression of life and situations. This is being actively involved in your own growth and not passively waiting for situations to just show up and surprise you.

10. Combatting Shame and Guilt in the Everyday 01/31/2020

10. Combatting Shame and Guilt in the Everyday After taking a break for a couple of months from recording and posting, I'm back! This episode is about shame and guilt. Creating and producing a podcast is very emotional for me and I recognize that in my lack I can freeze up all creativity and drive. The not-enough-ness has been in my face and I don't want to live in that, it's not fair to myself or others around me. I hope this episode provokes you and draws you out of the dark circles of thought that can paralyze joy and connection. /episode/index/show/livelovely/id/12962594

8. Gratitude is the Key to Transformation

In this episode, I'm sharing about how to transform your life. Your life begins in your thoughts. How you think is how you feel and how you feel is how you act and behave. To transform your life, you must understand your mindset, see what lens you are viewing your circumstances and processing your relationships. Gratitude is the practice that challenges a scarcity mindset and opens up your emotions to abundance. Abundance is a Kingdom principle. I also touch on at the end what being in a "dry season" rea /episode/index/show/livelovely/id/12038384

7. Release the Religious Pressure 08/14/2019

7. Release the Religious Pressure

In this episode, I stepped out to talk about something controversial yet very important to me: the control of religion. I hope to relieve either self-imposed pressure or pressure from the collective, or body of believers. For me, being a Jesus-follower is not about a set of do's and don't or should's and should not's - instead I see following Jesus as simply obeying God's commands and the gray areas become a matter of the heart: why you do what you do.

6. How to Engage with Life Everyday

In this episode, I'm sharing how important it is to be nice everywhere you go. Being nice is the number one way to engage with your life everyday and to be the most present you can possibly be. Even the moments that seem like a "waste" or the strangers who are on the peripheral of your life - it all matters. I also share my thoughts on RBF and how this can be a hinderance to capturing every moment and living fully.
