68-Do You Feel Like You’re Going After Your Dream All Alone? You Need This Dream-Builder’s Hack

In today’s episode: MINDSET AND SELF COACHING
I know exactly what it feels like to have no one in your corner, no one passionate about what's in your heart, and desperate to get what's in your head out of it. If you are going it alone, building a business or a practice, holding a vision tightly, excited about an idea, and feel lonely in it, this is my most important solution for moving forward with hope!
***VIParts of this episode to refer to:
Make a plan to meet once a week either live or online or call
Commit to a timeframe for meeting and prioritize it on your calendar
Be punctual and consistent
Make decisions together about your time together
Focus on what’s urgent or critical
Trade off who shares or who gets the focus
Or simply set a timer and you both get a focused 30 minutes each
If you don’t have what your buddy needs, do you know someone? How can you help by resourcing or connecting them or even doing something they need done?
Be there for them even when it’s inconvenient bc that’s what an ally does
Plan rewards and celebrations together
Whiteboard and brainstorm together
Agree to confidentiality
Agree to be called out if one of you starts going downhill, not holding up your end of the commitment, gets whiny or unteachable, or just wanting to give up
Agree to pick up the phone when you need something and agree to answer when the other calls
Agree to no competition
Consider having a co-working session online or together as well.
You don’t have to be going after the same thing. 
You may have more than one; some going after specific pursuits and one just for life in general

67-What is Life Coaching in the Christian Space?

In today’s episode: FOUNDATIONS AND FAITH
I know I already did an episode about what is a life coach, but I wanted to really hone in on what it means to be a Christian and be a life coach. So today we are chatting about the study of all God created, the difference between the spirit, soul, and body, and the hope that anchors us all in a man named Jesus.

65-Mindset Coaching- Being Unteachable

In today’s episode: MINDSET AND CLIENTS
It happens! So let's talk about it. We can find ourselves being unteachable, and there are always going to be others who are unteachable in our lives. What the Word of God says and how to deal with it is in today's episode.

64-Is Your ’Carer’ Broken? You May Have Empathy or Compassion Fatigue.

In today’s episode: MINDSET AND SELF COACHING
This is a hard subject, because once you recognize empathy fatigue or compassion fatigue it may be hard to accept. But I'm sharing a bit of my story, how to recognize the symptoms, and how to mitigate and recover from them. 
***VIParts of this episode to refer to:
Compassion is the emotional response you have when you see someone’s struggle and you want to help out in some way. You identify with their situation and want to do something about it. You desire to be with them in the situation, but not necessarily their feelings.
Empathy is feeling aware of what someone else is feeling, either because you’ve been in a situation yourself that allowed you to experience the same feelings, or because you actually project those feelings onto yourself. Either way, you desire to be with them in their feelings, but not necessarily involve yourself in their situation. 
Fatigue occurs when your own life becomes negatively affected because you've been empathetic and/or compassionate sooo much for sooo long.

62-A Prayer to Pray Over Your Business

In today’s episode: FAITH AND BUSINESS
I'm sharing a prayer you can pray over your business and a reminder to keep your biz before the Lord in prayer daily. It's a major part of who you are and deserves life-giving attention. Create reminders for yourself to take your business to the Lord and speak truth over it. I also want you to know that I'm praying for you as well, as my listener, as well as a brother or sister in the Lord. Bless you!
***VIParts of this episode to refer to:
“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life- your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life- and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.” (Romans 12:1-2, The Message)
Lord thank you for giving me a heart to serve the world the way you made me to. Thank you for your wisdom and understanding in my business. I ask for greater clarity when it feels that the lines between the world and your kingdom start to blur. Show me the way to go when I come to the crossroads which I will definitely find myself at again and again. Help my business vision to stay on you and your ways. Show me how you would run my business Jesus.
Cast great vision and give me great clarity Lord. Lead me in the way you’d go that meets the people I serve right where they are. Show me what they need, how I can serve them and love them well, how I can innovate and innovate and bring new things to life that would bless them. Give me dreams that show me how to build and how to share, give me vision for what is possible in the kingdom of heaven. I ask that You would develop well formed maturity in both me and my business, as I place it all before you as an offering.
Give me peace when things get hard. Help me to trust you when money is tight, when people aren’t buying, or a product or service doesn’t excel the way I hoped it would. Holy Spirit I pray for my hope in you to an anchor that keeps me in a kingdom mindset and draws my heart to the Lord. When things are tough, let me be the light that draws others safely to the shore leading them, rather than the one who runs out and conforms to the ways of the world without wisdom.
And I pray Lord, as I build my business on the cornerstone of faith in Jesus, I pray for the protection and provision over my household. Wherever I’m taking ground and the enemy lying in wait, be our shield and our refuge. I pray for discernment and strategy, for your presence to go before me and my business, and for tangible hope to pour out on me, my family, my team, and those that I serve. Draw the right people to me and my business, and let them see you and your love when they see us. Change me from the inside out, keep me on your path, and bring out the best in my business for the glory of Jesus to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.
In Jesus name, amen.

60-Real Parenting Challenges and Using the PEARL Practice to Survive and Thrive!

In today’s episode: SELF COACHING AND MINDSET
I'm sharing straight from my soul today. It was a hard morning and I had to coach myself through what's been happening in my life. I wanted to take this opportunity to share how I walked myself out of crazy soul stuff and into alignment with the truth God has for me. Hopefully this helps you understand the PEARL practice better that I've shared in past episodes and I teach inside the Greenhouse Life Coach Training Course. And hopefully you find it to be a great mind management and self leadership tool that bears good fruit in your family. My prayer is that your children benefit from this and they learn how important their thought lives are too. Bless you!
