It hasn't been the best start to the year but I am realizing that sometimes you have to let go of your plan or expectations and focus on what God wants for your life. It isn't always easy but I can assure you what He has planned for you will be so much better. 

We all face distractions but there is a way around them. Check out the episode to hear how I deal with distractions interrupting my life. Enjoy the episode!!!

Forget about New Year's resolutions, it's a new year and you are the same person you were on December 31st, 2023 at 11:59 pm. Let's go into the new year, move in on new opportunities, and maybe take advantage of some missed opportunities that we are now ready to face. 2024 is about moving forward and letting go of the fears and failures that once held you back. Let's talk about it!  #newyear #sameme #betterme #growth #opportunity #change #lrcpodcast

We are almost at the end of the year, but that doesn't mean you should stop pursuing your goals. This is the last episode of the year, let's go out on top!

Stopping by to wish you and your family a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving!

I was unsure what this week's topic would be until I prayed about it and it became crystal clear. Let's talk about prayer, not in the old-school tense way but in a comfortable way. #faithtalk #lrcpodcast #newepisode #christianity #faith #mentalhealth 

Let's keep it casual, today's episode is a chat about why you should stop telling everyone your plans. Sometimes less information is more. Share your success after you reach your goal. Don't add unnecessary pressure to your life by letting others in too soon. #makeplans #lrcpodcast #realtalk #goals #newpodcast #newepisode

I am always honest on here and I am not happy in every stage of my life. Sometimes I wish I could hit the fast forward button and jump to the good part. This brings me to the next topic, understanding where you are at in life no matter what season you are in. #newepisode #bepresent #lrcpodact #selfimprovement #selfawareness 

The last episode was a repost called “Processing Life”. That episode set the tone for this episode. I went through life for years without living. I was setting goals and achieving some but not doing anything with that progress.  I am a big dreamer but what I realize is without action dreams are just elaborate ideas. If you are not praying and working towards those dreams, what are you doing?#dreams #life #livingyourbestlife #lrcpodcast #maximizinglife #newepisode #podcastsofinstagram #goals

An oldie but goodie! I am sick this week and traveling so I am taking a moment to get some much-needed rest. Enjoy the episode, it sets the tone for the next one in two weeks. 

I am a recovering people pleaser who decided to make the change because pleasing people is not pleasing to God. “If you live for the acceptance of others you will die by their criticism.” Enjoy the episode! #newepisode #pleaser #faith #mentalhealth #lrcpodcast

I had so much fun with this episode! When you start setting boundaries people are naturally going to get triggered. What you are setting in motion is their own self-reflection. People are so uncomfortable with themselves that they will go on the defense and come after you just because the rights they thought they had were rejected. Protect your peace and be prepared. It is not your job to validate everyone else's self-worth. #boundaries #selfcontrol #lrcpodcast #newepisode #podcast #mentalhealth

Comparison is the thief of joy and the killer of progress. We naturally compare ourselves to others, but there is freedom on the other side when you learn to let go and stay in your lane. Let's talk about it!#comparison #insecurities #lrcpodcast #newepisode

Learning to fight back when your insecurities pop up is essential for all of us. Be sure to stay tuned at the end of this episode and I will tell you the craziest story about the tattoo I am about to reference in the episode. Enjoy!  #insecurities #selfimprovement #mentalhealth #lrcpodcast

How is your accountability?  I need accountability in every area of my life.  This is nothing new for me but I find that in today's culture people do not want to own up to what they say or do and it's becoming a real problem. Today's episode is a  gentle reminder about what accountability means and how it can affect your life and the lives of others. Stay tuned until the end for a story about how I got spanked by my teacher. Random, I know. We all have to be accountable for something so let's talk about it! 

Grace is the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings. It is also defined as courteous goodwill.God gives us grace but why do we struggle to give grace to ourselves and others? I don't believe a person can genuinely extend grace to someone else if they cannot extend it to themselves. Let's talk about it! 

When was your courage replaced with fear and what are you doing to get it back? Let's talk about it!
