We all feel at times that we are no enough!  That we don't measure up to our parents, spouses, friends, or society's expectations of who we ought to be.  It's so easy to just say "Don't care what others think", But the truth... We are created to connect deeply with others.  Theres is a way to value ourselves deeply and have our desires met.  We must first have a deep connection.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pameladevrousmith/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pameladevrousmith/support

We get love so dang confused!  What is love?  How do we know we have it? Where do we find it?  And, how is our Purpose in life intertwined with it?  Do we even know what our purpose is?   We take a look at all these questions and more in todays Podcast!!  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pameladevrousmith/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pameladevrousmith/support

It can be hard work looking at where we keep messing up in our lives! It takes an honest appraisal. Not Beating ourselves up! Not ignoring and making excuses for our problems. Total and unhindered honesty. It can feel raw, and can be emotional. However, when we go from not knowing what we don't know to becoming aware of what we are doing and how our patterns hold us back, then and only then can we do something about them. Then, we can play full out in our own lives and becoming more abundant! Books: "Claiming Your Power" Mastin Kipp "Anomoly Mindset" Sandi Krawdowski Remember: You've got this!! YOU can have more within your life and can have it abundantly! I believe in you! More importantly, Your Creator Believes in you!!

We are deep diving into thee hardest part of healing: OUR EMOTIONS! To live and play "Full-Out" and within abundance, we MUST get down and dirty with the emotions behind what's stopping us!! Typical talk about healing or changing seems or even to be successful starts and stops with only the two top layers of healing: 1) Thoughts and 2) Behaviors. But if we truly want lasting change, healing and success within our lives, we must have a deeper dive into the next three layers: 3) Emotions, 4) Story's we tell ourselves, and 5) the actual event that took place that caused us pain or trauma. THIS is where it must begin SO THAT we can have the lasting change we desire. When we "go there", we can then heal and face our fears by addressing them and reminding ourselves it's ok! Keep moving forward! We are no longer holding ourselves back! Reminder: The book we get so much of todays info from (and that I am working through personally) is: "Claim Your Power" by Mastin Kipp Here is a link to get your copy for FREE: https://adbl.co/34hn8W0 Thanks again for listening, sharing and subscribing!

We all (Did I say ALL?) have patterns within our lives that we develop to protect our hearts. We get caught within a loop that goes around and around like running on a hamster wheel. These patterns may have protected us in the past... but maybe they aren't really serving us now. That's ok! We are going to take an honest look at these patterns, what do they mean, and how can we change them so we can stop playing small in our own lives and therefore live our lives abundantly! Thanks for being with me today! Here are the books I'm reading if you want a much deeper dive into your life for change and growth! 1) "Anomaly Mindset" by Sandi Krakowski 2) "Claim Your Power" by Mastin Kipp --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pameladevrousmith/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pameladevrousmith/support

Too many times we can get caught at the short end of the stick! Not enough time, energy, or will to take care of ourselves! When this happens, it’s time to take a step back and give yourself (no one else!!) an honest appraisal! Are YOU loving yourself? Better question (since this one seems to be equivalent to “how are you” “oh great thanks!” Ya right!! ). Better question, are you taking good CARE of yourself? In today’s episode, we look at what that means and what are the warning signs of not loving yourself enough!

Is there a relationship between what we eat and how we feel? Can food be an addiction? If so, it isn't like we can just stop eating altogether for ever and ever, right? If not, then what is it that we CAN do to start the process of change in our lives to get healthy? In today's episode, we unpack the notion of food affecting how we feel and how we behave and how if we want change within our lives, how do we even get started?

The critical voices seem to be everywhere at all times, don't they? I mean, turn on the TV and the show is portraying how the character doesn't measure up, the commercials are letting us know we are not complete because we don't have the item they are selling and don't get me started on the news! We shut off the TV and the social media takes its turn. Then there's the ads within our games and what about family and friends?? Uhg! Is it all about what's coming at us? Hmmm... If so, we'd all become hermits never to talk or see anyone else ever again! Right? Much of the very deep seeded critical input isn't necessarily coming from outside sources. Our own self-talk can be the biggest culprit and the monster that holds us back! In today's episode, we face this monster head on and gain some tools to loosen up his grip on our success and our dreams coming true! We are here to fulfill our deep desires given to us by God Himself. If we don't do it, no one else will! Let's dive in as we take a look at what holds us back and how to start stepping out regardless of those voices!

In todays podcast, we touch on what it means to back up or discount our own desires, needs and wants in order to keep the peace. Where does this constant backing up come from and how we can start to get ourselves out of it. Living a life of constantly discounting ourselves to allow others to feel good leads to a self-loathing and victum role instead of loving ourselves AND loving others. We end up taking a backseat in order to look like a "good girl" or "nice guy" instead of understanding that the second greatest commandment and applying it to our lives; "love your nightbor AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF!" (emphasis mine!) Let's take a look at how we can learn to recognize this twisted up behavior and learn to love ourselves SO THAT we can love others as well!

Today's episodes talks about perfectionism, criticism and allowing growth within our life and our failures. We must come to terms with we all miss the mark and, quite frankly, that's good!

Too many time in our lives we feel stuck or in a rut because we lack the ability to either take action OR know what action to take. We need clarity. Carl Jung once said; "You are what you DO, not what you say you'll do." How true is that, right?! In todays epicode, we dive into what holds us back and what allows us to truly gain confidence within our lives to achieve the dreams we desire. Success leaves clues and the successful do things the rest of us don't. Let's learn and apply these little gems to our lives and achieve our hearts desires. Bottom line, let's stop our wallowing in the mud and change our lives for the better! ________________________________ In this podcast: Ck out my YouTube Channel: www.YouTube.com/pameladevrousmith My Husband Jim and I are building out an old School bus and turning it into a Full Time RV.
