Connective Conversations Podcast

Life gets boring!! Never be afraid to try something new. Nothing will change in life if you don't do something different from what you've been doing. Do something new this summer.

Just wanted to give a few words of encouragement today because life gets busy and the pressure is real. During those times, we must realize that we need fuel for our life so that we can have the light we need to navigate our journey. There's a quote that says " An empty lantern provides no light. Self-Care is the fuel that allows our light to shine brightly. " Take the time to refuel so that your light can shine brightly in your most busiest time. 

Learning without reflection is a waste but reflection without learning is dangerous. Reflection is looking back so that the view looking forward is even clearer.  Today, we are breaking down one of the questions last week to give you practical application on how to be honest in your reflections. Hope you will tune in to the entire episode. 

Learning without reflection is a waste but reflection without learning is dangerous. Reflection is looking back so that the view looking forward is even clearer. We must take the time to get a clearer vision for our lives. Life is only a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see. So take the time to reflect on your life and make the necessary adjustments to move your life forward.

You cannot serve from an empty vessel. Rest and self care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve other from the overflow. The enemy will do everything he can to discourage you and disillusion you from unleashing the power of a passionate life. This is why Bible encourages us not to be ignorant of the enemy's devices. And one of those devices is busyness. From work to social media to church to family to friends to maintaining your home, I've heard it said that if the enemy can't stop a person from moving forward, he'll just try to push them to move forward too fast. We can even get so busy doing work for God that we lose sight of God in the midst of it! Don't be fooled by the enemy devices. Take time to rest and reflect so that your heart can be inspired with hope to look to the future. Hope you tune in to the podcast to hear what i did during my rest and reflection time.

Have you ever found yourself having to go around the same Mountain, Having to deal with the same, Or similar situation time and time again? I know that I have at some point in my life. Going around the same mountain, May mean us having to try doing something different, Such as taking a look at other options available to us, Options that can help us to move on. And asking God to help us choose a different option that would produce a different result. A good result that can get us to move on. Going over the same circle can actually be very exhausting, frustrating and can also produce in us a sense of hopelessness. In the book of Deuteronomy, we are told about the Israelites who kept going around the same mountain for forty years.  A journey that would have only taken eleven days. Which according to scripture was due to unbelief and disobedience. Realization and acknowledgement of the lack of movement is the first step to acknowledging were we are.

Are people in your life experiencing the emotional land mines in your mind? Are you often emotionally triggered? Emotional triggers are things (e.g. memories, objects, people) that spark intense negative emotions that can be abrupt, and in most cases it will feel more severe than what the trigger would logically call for. Be sure to tune in to this week's episode, we talking all about the emotional mines in our minds. Below are a few ways to defuse the emotional land mines in our minds. Own your feelings. First, remind yourself that it's totally OK to feel whatever you're feeling in that moment. ... Create a safe non-judgemental space to process thoughts.. Keep an open mind. ... Communicate.

Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are seeds and you can grow flowers or you can grow weeds. Be discipline to cultivated flowers and root up the weeds. When you are undisciplined in your mind, you're uncapable of managing emotions from moment to moment. Instead, the undisciplined mind is entirely vulnerable to circumstance. Let's take control of our minds and our thoughts.

Validation is the desire to have someone else's approval or agreement with what you say, believe, or do. Humans are naturally social creatures. We thrive in community and, therefore, have a strong desire to belong in that community and seek validation from it. You may think that this is perfectly normal, and it is. However, where things gets a bit blurry is when we start to base all of our decisions, as well as the course of our life, on a collective agreement from others. Depending on validation from others disempowers us in living our own life. Other people opinions shouldn't override what we think, the decision that we have made, or the action that we are taking. Are you depending on the validation of others?

You can't Live A Positive Life With A Negative Mind. You must train your mind to see the good in everything. Being positive is a choice. What's consuming your mind is controlling your life. 

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. A negative mind will never give you a positive life. So let's talk about a mind check.

It's not always easy to open up about sex whether your single or married. But letting a partner in on your wants, desires and fantasies can strengthen your bond. We are inundated with ideas about what ‘great sex' looks like. We see countless romantic movies featuring couples who are completely in rhythm with one another, who never need to discuss what they want, never misread each other's sexual cues, never bump heads or act awkwardly but that's just not reality. Let's talk about on today's episode. Join on Apple Podcast...

My Single Sisters, STOP COMPROMISING  your values... Your worth is Priceless..When you compromise, you build a room in your relationships that the enemy of your soul lives in RENT FREE..."David Burrus"  No matter how long you have to wait in your singleness, hold fast to your values.. It will be worth the wait.

The time you spend single – which may be a temporary life stage, or could be your whole life – is actually a gift, if you treat it as such. It gives you the opportunity to do some things that would become more difficult after marriage, and properly prepare for marriage – if that is your goal. The greatest temptation in singleness is to assume marriage will meet our unmet needs, solve our weaknesses, organize our lives, and unleash our gifts. While marriage may bring joy, help, and relief in certain areas, it immediately multiplies our distractions, because we're responsible for this other person. It's a high calling and a good calling but a demanding one. So decide that you're going to grow in your single season so that you become the person that you really what to be in your marriage relationship.

I know you've always imagined you'd be building the empire with a companion, but that isn't your current reality, and that's okay. Build while you wait. Build anyway. The lie most of us ladies are told is if we are too established, he will be too intimidated. Not true. In fact, there are some KINGS that are only interested in a QUEEN who isn't afraid to establish a rich legacy by taking risks. Make sure you are always showing up as your authentic self, so that you're attracting the person who is into you, not into who you “post” to be or the things you have. The person who doesn't know themselves won't ever be able to identify the parts in your life that make you suitable for them. So be a woman of value.. Continue to be  Ambition, Have Fun & Be  Confident because is sooo sexy to the right person.

Singleness is a season of becoming. Have you thought about your motivation for wanting to be married? Once vows are exchanged you two become one flesh. You will no longer be "WITH" them, but you will "BE" them. So marry who you are willing to BE. .." David Burrus

Being single isn't a status. It's a time in your life when you can truly get to know yourself and enjoy yourself  without depending on someone else. Singleness is a gift, a season of becoming and an opportunity to live life on your terms. Let's start maximizing our singleness.

Today we will continue our conversation on proritizing your mental and emotional health. Remember to give yourself permission to slow down! Respect your body when it's asking for a break.

Every woman's success should be an inspiration to another. We're strongest when we cheer each other on. There's no limit to what we as women can accomplish together. When we support each other incredible things happen!! Support, Empower and Encourage other women.

Being a mom is more than being the cook, chauffer, maid, counselor, doctor, referee, or disciplinarian. It's about molding character, building confidence, nurturing, training and guiding. There is nothing like the influence that a mother has on her child.

Emotional, yet the Rock. Tired, but keeps going. Worried, but full of hope. Impatient, yet patient. Overwhelmed, but never quits. Amazing, even though doubted. Wonderful, even in the chaos. Life Changer, every single day.

Always do your best!  What you plant now you will harvest later. Start where you are, use what you have and do what you can. The best version of you will always attract that which is excellent, outstanding and desirable.

Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional. Embrace the challenges in your life as an opportunity to develop strength. Remember, growth doesn't happen when things are easy. Growth happens when we face challenges. 

Pressure is a condition of distress, oppression and affliction. Free yourself from the expectations of others and be authentically you. Don't let the demands that seems to require immediate attention stress you out this Easter Holiday.. Remember the real meaning of  Holy Week/Easter Holiday and rest in that. 

When we don't expect anything, typically we get what we expect which is nothing. No expectations means there is no risk of disappointmennt. But having high expectations is the key to everything. Let's raise our expectations in order to receive the thing we're expecting.
