Every one of us has something we could improve in our life. We may know we need to change something, but change can often feel overwhelming and we may not know where to start. Sometimes we even hold out for the perfect master plan we believe will dramatically fix everything once we find it. In today's episode I give you my guiding mantra for knowing what to change and how to do it, no matter what part of life you're hoping to improve.  The reason this plan works so well is because it's God's plan.  And even more powerfully, it's the entire purpose of why we're here on earth. To learn by experience, or as I like to modify...to learn by Experiment. Let's learn how to make this happen.

Have you ever felt stuck in a pattern or habit that frustrates you? Perhaps you're familiar with the oft quoted phrase stating, The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results... We humans are creatures of habit. We crave what is familiar, even if it's not good for us. We may want something better, even hope for something better, but until we actually do something in a different way, we aren't going to see the changes that we hope for. Today's episode will help identify what patterns may not be working in our life, why they're there, and what we can do to create something better.

When life feels dark and burdensome, you may not automatically ask yourself, "What's awesome about this?" Human nature is such that we easily ruminate when we get stuck or face a challenge. But God has commanded us to be grateful in every circumstance and to find the good. We'll talk about why this is a commandment and why it is powerful enough to pull you out of darkness and into the light. It is perhaps one of the very most important skills you can learn, because it holds the key to 100% of your progress and living a meaningful life.

Have you ever wished for all your problems to go away? Have you ever wished for perfect health, or that you wouldn't have to work so hard for things, or that money and resources were always available for you? Have you ever wished that all your relationships were peaceful? Wouldn't that be the perfect life? Everyone has moments we tell ourselves that the absence of contrast is what will bring the ideal life. And yet...as we'll learn today, contrast is the very element that makes life so meaningful to begin with. When we can use contrast to our benefit, we free ourselves from the burden of being stuck because contrast is the key to change.

Have you ever experienced a downward spiral? Those moments that knock you off course, and then it's all downhill from there?  We all have our triggers that can set things in motion... what we don't always realize is the spiral can be traveled in two different directions.  In this episode we're going to talk about how to spiral up, and more specifically what things we can do to help us get back on track in the right direction. 

Today is a special day for me because I'm launching my group mentoring program called, Mastering The Art of Showing Up. I only open it once a year, and for me personally, the things we learn in this program have completely changed my life. If you enjoy my podcast, then I think the mentoring program will blow your mind. Find more details in my free web class, "How To Be Consistent Without Having To Be Perfect" in the show notes below.

When you hear the phrase, "God's will be done", what does that mean for you? Have you ever prayed for something and not received it? Have you ever wondered if these moments mean God's will was for you to not receive and not to be happy? In today's episode we're going to talk about the true nature of God, His abundance, and how His will actually guides us to receive something even better than we can conceive on our own. 

Have you ever told yourself a story about what someone thinks of you? How has that turned out for you? Funny how we can so easily fool ourselves into thinking we know what is going on in someone else's head. Yet we do it all the time. We tell stories about our relationships and events in order to make sense of our life. Unfortunately, our stories are usually inaccurate and lead us to misunderstand, miscommunicate, and suffer. In today's episode we're going to find out how we can know if we're telling a story and examine what is really going on so we can live with love and peace and learn to see things as they really are.

Did you create your goals for 2020 yet? Have you noticed any of the same resolutions appear on this years list that you may have had on years past? Why do you think we struggle with the same things over and over? I'm excited to share with you in today's episode a major missing piece in goal setting that I believe changes everything. It's the secret to lasting change and making our efforts finally stick. If you want this year to be the year you move forward on that one thing that keeps returning each year, you'll love this episode.

Do you ever get discouraged by your mistakes? What about the times that you don't perform as well as you would hope to? Do you ever look back on your year or your day and get frustrated by the gap of where you are and where you know you could be? Do you ever take all of this personally and get down on yourself? In today's podcast I'm going to share with you my favorite mantra for turning mistakes into growth. My favorite mantra to remind me to not take any of this personally, and instead to use it as loving information to help me grow.

Your Heavenly Team

Do you ever feel overwhelmed from deadlines? Responsibilities? Schedules? All the things being asked of you? What do you do to cope? When we start to feel the squeeze of life, the idea of taking a vacation and getting a break from the daily pressures sounds like the most wonderful option... except what if you can't just take a vacation? What if logistics and commitments really do require you to stay right where you're at and to keep pressing forward with the pressure? Today we're talking about one of my favorite little practices that bring the benefits of a vacation into your everyday life. And you don't have to pay anything or book a trip to get it.  Sound good? Let's get started.

Floors and Ceilings

In the last episode we talked all about how you are an influencer. Today we're going to talk about the #1 most important way you influence others. If you would like to have more power in your leadership in your marriage, in your parenting, in your community, or your work, then it all starts here. With you. We'll talk about what this looks like in the smallest of ways to those that are bigger, and how imperfect effort is enough to bring about amazing influence.

Have you ever wondered the extent of your own influence? Have you ever fallen into the trap of judging your own influence off of numbers or social approval or even how well others receive you? Have you wanted to have more influence over those you serve, be it in your family, work, or community? In today's episode we're going to dive into a few tiny paradigms that have massively changed how I view true influence and helped me take heart and have courage to move forward with confidence.
