Let’s talk about impostor syndrome. It seems we all face it at some point during our lives, and lately, it’s almost like everyone has the same fears of being inadequate. Am I doing my job right? Am I really talented? Am I really deserving of everything I have? These are just some of the questions that can plague our mind if we give in to impostor syndrome. Unfortunately, if we begin to believe these self-doubts, we might run into actual problems that hinder our progress through life.

In this episode, we’ll go through different strategies to combat this inescapable part of being alive. I’ll give you actionable steps to realize that no one is scrutinizing your every move, and that you’re indeed a talented, well-rounded person whose achievements are worth celebrating. We’ll focus on progress over perfection and on challenging negative self talk. We’ll make sure you have the tools to step outside of that self–defeating rut you might find yourself in.

Whether we like it or not, we are all products of our upbringing. Whether it’s through our family history, or just our surroundings, we’re shaped by everything that has led us to today. When it comes to following our dream, we’ll always be influenced by our past, by our legacy; but there comes a time when we must also take our own steps toward our dream, taking agency over our own future.

In this episode, we’ll take a look at all of the different experiences and factors that may have an influence on our dream pursuit, all the while realizing that we only have one life, and must take the reins to our own destiny. How can we forge our own path? What must we do to reconcile with our past and our influences? And, how can we seek out support from our loved ones to provide guidance and encouragement along the way?

As you reflect on your family legacy and your own unique calling, consider how you can honor your past while also forging your own path. Embrace the lessons of the past, but also have the courage to pursue your dreams and live authentically.

As humans, we have the incredible gift of being able to “feel all the feelings.” Moments of great joy, great sadness, all of these are wonderful things. However, letting our feelings and letting our emotions out of our control can also have negative effects on not just us, but those around us. We must understand how to navigate our feelings, and direct them in the directions that best work for our dream.

Self-awareness and self-regulation are but two of the most important tools in the path to control our emotions. It is by looking at the mirror (seeing the plank in our own eye), that we can make moves away from obstacles in our lives, or potential stressors (taking the speck out of your brother’s eye). We’ll take a look at the Jesus’ Way and what He can teach us about regulating our emotions to succeed. NUBvOFYeVLSprBYQrRZe

Facing Failure: Taking Ownership of the Little Mistakes in Our Lives

Failure is a part of life. It sucks to hear that, but it’s true. Any journey, any path, any goal you’re trying to reach will often be met with failure. But more often than not, we’re not afraid of what that failure may bring, but rather, we’re afraid of failure itself. Fear keeps so many stuck, immobilized, unfulfilled, hopeless, thinking “What if we fail? What if it doesn’t work?”

In today’s episode, let’s shine the light on this sinister enemy. Lurking in the shadows of every dream pursuit failure does it’s best to keep us stationary. Yet, you will discover today that simply shining the light on failure, owning it, takes away its power and puts power back into our hands!

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:

• What can happen to us if we succumb to the fear of failure, and how the inaction and stagnation that often comes with that fear keeps us from pursuing our dream.
• How you can take failure and use it to your own personal growth by learning from these falls so we can rise so much higher. Taking ownership of our failure and using it as a stepladder to success will get us so much farther than we think. We all fail, but no one is a failure.

• What the Way of Jesus can teach us on what to do in the face of failure, and how even the most virtuous people are going to face challenges that may hold them back, and yet they’re still remembered today.
