I have an extra special treat for you this week. One of my private clients and I had the most amazing coaching session about challenging social norms, especially when it comes to dating younger men. My client is in her 50's and had never ever EVER dreamed of dating a younger man. She had an 18-month window of age compatibility locked into her mind as for what would be appropriate. When she realized how she was limiting herself, it rocked her world. Our conversation was so good we decided to share it with you. She knows that she can't possibly be alone in this. We all do this in one way or another. Vulnerability and laughter are at the heart of this discussion and we covered a lot of different topics, including; Dating younger and older men Accountability My framework for deciding who gets to make final decisions How childhood rules can affect us as adults Why we get stuck in certain mindsets, and how to get out Explaining our relationship choices to others, especially adult children And More!

As we honor our God-given desires - especially the desire for love and marriage - cultivating the fruit of the Holy Spirit will help us to stay in alignment with him and establish relationships that are healthy for us and bring glory to God.

The past two years have left most women feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, exhausted, and in serious need of some DEEP refreshing. Myself included. Today, I want to share with you a little bit about where I'm at mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, as well as where I'm headed. Between the pandemic, a long-distance marriage, medical issues, financial challenges, and a host of other challenges, it's been a rough 24 months. Honestly, I've felt depleted. But one thing I've learned to do is pause. Not quit, not give up. Just pause. Giving myself the time and space I need to recover along the way has allowed me to keep going, creating, and coaching. Let me share with you some of the set backs I've experienced so that you know that you're not alone and there are ways to move forward. I want to show you how I'm managing my thoughts around failure so that they don't prevent me from having success in the year to come.

You did not create yourself, but you have entirely invented your ideas about who you are. In today's episode, we're talking about why we must be willing to let go of all our previously held notions of who we were to embrace a fresh revelation of who we are. This is a scary process. Doing this work means intentionally stripping yourself bare of all the labels you've held on to. The good and the bad. Survivor, warrior, saved, sinner, healthy, lazy, beautiful, ugly, making it, struggling, trying, failing, backsliding, believer. When we come back to the child-like posture of being a blank canvas, ready and willing to learn and discover, as if for the first time, then we can see ourselves through God's eyes. This unlocks tremendous power and allows us to do things we couldn't do under our previous labels. Reinventing yourself and starting fresh is something that you will end up doing over and over again throughout your life, but I want to encourage you to do it intentionally and wholeheartedly. Give yourself over to the process and discover what's possible. Let's talk about how to reinvent yourself in 2023 If you're ready to take your relationship journey straight to the heart of God, I'm here to help.

This week, we're talking about surviving the holidays and how to use this time to feel AMAZING going into 2023. It's an emotional rollercoaster time of year, and I don't want you to repeat any of the self-defeating patterns you've experienced in the past. Like this: Decide that this year is going to be different, get pumped up, feel good about yourself, go out, get hurt feelings, go home, feel sad, eat, eat some more, beat yourself up, scroll Instagram, get mad at Cindy because her stinkin' baby is so cute and she doesn't even go to church, feel bad about judging, try to cheer up, call a friend, make plans for New Years, cancel plans for New Years, buy a gym membership and commit to losing 10 lbs instead. This year, I will show you how to get off the roller coaster. Instead of wishful thinking and candy cane fuelled sugar highs, we're going to focus on practical kindness. ​ This is important because, as a coach, I know that a lot of you Love Bombing YOURSELF, and not in a good way. So let's break those toxic cycles and set ourselves up for connection and belonging. Okay? ​Today's episode is from our most recent Free Group Coaching Session.

Some of your own making and some you've been pushed into. On your journey with God, you will find yourself in some deep holes. Here's how to get out. In this group coaching session, we openly discussed what it's like to feel stuck in a hole and how to navigate those painful situations. First, you need to know that some of the unfavorable circumstances you will inevitably find yourself in have nothing to do with you. Pandemics, hurricanes, floods, fires, and droughts, have nothing to do with you. Sometimes the holes we find ourselves at the bottom of are self-created. Indulging in toxic behaviors, action out negative emotions, and not taking responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, and actions will have consequences. But no matter how you got there, it's important to know that there is a way out. Listen in as we talk about what to do when you've hit rock bottom and how to move forward with grace and dignity. We're talking about: Learning HOW to make peace with where we're at without losing momentum to change things Why you must take the pressure off yourself to get out as fast as possible Critical actions that will make all the difference What not to do when you're at the bottom of the hole DID YOU KNOW???

You have an active part to play in the miracles of God. What do you need to be doing? What expectations do you have for prayer? How do you cooperate with the process? Who gets to experience the miraculous power of God? This is fun stuff! A LOT of brilliant, passionate Christian women miss out on miracles every day because they don't understand the role they play in the creation process. Even with an active prayer life, a servant's heart, and big faith, it can still feel like the presence and power of God is evasive. So let's talk about what's going wrong. Using The Life Code, we can begin to see how to step into cooperation with the creative power of God and alignment with His Kingdom. I'll show you examples, and you'll hear me coaching women through their unique situations. If you like this episode, you'll love joining us LIVE.

This is a very special episode with my beloved client Michele. She's here to share the insights and wisdom she has gleaned on her journey towards a Christ-centered marriage. After a full year of intentionally walking out what it means to pursue marriage from a place of love, Michele will tell us what she learned about being authentic, owning her emotions, and believing in the possibility of love. I appreciate Michele so much for her vulnerability and candor. She is a single mom trying to do the right thing and be honest about her challenges. From dysfunctional relationships, domestic abuse, and poverty, she understands what it means to start from the bottom. Michele has been extremely open about her experiences being coached and was one of the first to volunteer the video recording of her coaching session to the rest of the community.

This episode could save your life! Today we're talking about Gavin de Beckers' work The Gift Of Fear because understanding the signals (or red flags) of a predator can save your life. Charm and the importance of recognizing WHY he is being charming. Typecasting and why a predator will try to give you a negative label. Forced teamwork and how these men attempt to turn you into a collaborator in their plans Too many details and the unsolicited promise Refusal to accept NO. These are strategies that predatory men will use to gain an advantage over their victims. Being aware of them can increase your chance of survival in a life-threatening situation. You can watch Gavin de Becker's FREE Masterclass on Personal Safety here: https://giftoffear.com Gavin de Becker is widely regarded as the nation's leading expert on violence and safety. This master class is based on the concepts in his book, The Gift of Fear, the #1 bestseller on violence for 25 years. Helping women avoid and escape domestic violence is at the heart of my work. As a child, I grew up in a very violent home and watched my mother endure years of emotional and mental abuse. My husband lost his sister to a violent partner, and we are painfully aware of how dangerous a romantic attachment can become. I hope that as I encourage you to overcome many of your fears, like the fear of failure, loss, rejection, and loneliness, that you will NEVER ignore the voice of true fear, which is a gift from God. Please join me in spreading this life-saving information so that we can keep ourselves and others safe from senseless violence. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/foreverlove/message

Let's look at the definition of femininity. What does Biblical femininity look like, and where does our current idea of strength come from? In this episode, we'll talk about embracing your strength and expressing your beauty without compromising your relationship with God. There are so many examples of women in the Bible who do not conform to our modern-day idea of how a "good Christian woman" should behave. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/foreverlove/message

I know God has forgiven him for his past, but I'm struggling and hope God has a different person for me. Am I settling while I consider this person? - Apryl Just because God has forgiven them doesn't mean you should ignore his past behavior.  In this episode, we'll talk about listening to our inner guidance system and the importance of not ignoring that still small voice. I'd also like to remind you that God is good and doesn't use relationships to hurt us. If there is pressure to pursue this relationship, where is it coming from?  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/foreverlove/message

Let's explore the idea of "The Right One." First of all, where does this idea come from? Is it Christ-centered? In my experience as a relationship coach, I've seen that many women in relationships operate under the false assumption that there's one man for each of us. In today's episode, we will explore the idea there is no "right one" and consider some alternative questions that will better serve you on your journey towards a Christ-centered marriage. Questions like: Is this a healthy relationship? How will I know whether I am feeling physically unsafe or experiencing a trigger it's safe to work through? Where is God in this relationship? The main problem with asking, "Is he the right one? is this; it implies that your ability to choose a marriage partner is a test and that the answers lie outside of you and Christ. Do you want me to help you achieve your God-given desire for marriage personally? Suppose you're ready to take the next step and commit to doing the work as long as it's in alignment with the will of God. In that case, I can help you start a healthy relationship, transition through the various phases, and ultimately enjoy a Christ-centered marriage. You can be a Godly wife, and I want to help you succeed.

A summer shortie episode about choosing to believe in your God-given desire for marriage --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/foreverlove/message

"I'm happy in my singlehood and have a desire for a Christ-following man. I've been divorced for 6 years from a toxic marriage. I still have fears about finding the right man for me that is on the same spiritual path as me. How do I overcome those fears? - Angie The Bible tells us to "fear not". This command does not come from God because He expects us to never experience fear. The emotional experience of fear is a physical sensation that helps us in survival situations. The key is to teach our brains to recognize real dangers and stop reacting to imagined fears. Fear can be paralyzing or it can put us into fight or flight mode. When we are scared we have a tendency to cancel plans, avoid confrontations and be defensive. In today's episode, I'll share 10 ways to help you overcome fear. The first is counterintuitive. To win the battle over fear we must stop vilifying fear. It's not a bad thing. Secondly, we can learn to more accurately identify what we are really afraid of. Third, we can pause and learn what our fear is there to tell or teach us. There are often great revelations to be discovered in the face of fear. So rather than continuing to avoid it, I want to encourage you to befriend it. This simple act is essential to neutralizing its power over you. Next, we will talk about take about letting go of the fears surrounding your God-given desires. Rather than wishing for something we'll talk about how to get your brain on board with achieving your goals. This episode is loaded with quick, powerful, and Christ-centered ways to help you move through fear and embrace your God-given desires. I can't wait to share them with you. Also, I want you to consider how much time you spend on your phone.
