Hey Friends,  Can we talk about Hard Conversations? Hard conversations define our lives - the ones we have and the ones we avoid. After experiencing a complete personal collapse 15 years ago where I lost friends, support systems, and watched my child suffer, I learned the transformative power of speaking difficult truths. This raw, heartfelt episode explores why the conversations we fear most are precisely the ones we most need to have. When we stay silent about our hurt, boundaries, or needs, we become trapped in cycles of shame, self-doubt, and unfulfillment. Whether it's telling someone how their words made you feel small, setting necessary boundaries, or speaking up about your worth in business - these conversations liberate us from patterns that keep us stuck. The silence that feels safe is actually the cage that holds us back. I share practical guidance for approaching difficult conversations with grace - centering yourself in prayer first, clarifying your intentions, focusing on the desired outcome, and remembering that hard conversations aren't about exploding but about healing. Your business won't grow if you're afraid to speak up about pricing. Your relationships won't deepen if you can't express how you truly feel. Your healing journey stalls when you suppress your authentic voice. Your worth isn't determined by others' comfort with your truth. You deserve to be heard, to be seen, to have your boundaries respected. What hard conversation have you been avoiding? It might be exactly what sets you free. Join me in discovering how speaking your truth with grace can transform not just your relationships and business, but your relationship with yourself.   All information mentioned at: https://www.kaykaysmith.com/

Transformative Mindset Shifts Inspired by The Color Purple Fantasia plays a powerful role of Ms. Celie, a woman brusied, misused, disgarded, but not broken because she dared to keep getting back up again! After watching the movie, you'll find yourself on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Here are three powerful mindset shifts that the narrative encourages you to embrace: 1. You Are Worthy:    The movie beautifully underscores the importance of recognizing your inherent worth. Through the characters' experiences, you learn that self-worth is not contingent on external validation. You are deserving of love, success, and happiness simply because you exist. The film inspires you to break free from societal expectations and embrace the truth that you are inherently valuable. 2. Find Your Tribe    A central theme in the movie revolves around the impact of community and genuine connections. It emphasizes the significance of finding your tribe – a group of people who support, uplift, and understand you. The narrative encourages you to seek out those who resonate with your values and aspirations. Building a tribe provides a sense of belonging and a support system that propels you forward on your journey. 3. Your Past Does Not Determine Your Future:    One of the most powerful messages the movie conveys is the idea that your past does not define your destiny. Regardless of the challenges and traumas you've faced, the film inspires a shift in perspective. It encourages you to break free from the shackles of your history and recognize that you have the agency to shape your own future. Your past may shape you, but it does not have the power to dictate the trajectory of your life. In summary, the movie prompts transformative shifts in thinking – acknowledging your worth, finding your tribe for support, and realizing that your past does not hold the key to your future. As you internalize these lessons, you embark on a journey towards personal growth, resilience, and the creation of a life aligned with your true self.   Rate and share this episode for empowerment and self love   This episode is also about:  The color purple themes The color purple summary fantasia barrino movie taraji p. henson  self worth vs self esteem believing in yourself how to believe in yourself trauma healing  The color purple movie review

HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT MENTOR OR COACH   Finding the right person to help you can be tricky. You want to leap into your journey with a trusted advisor. However, all mentors and coaches are not the same.   I recently met a business mentor at an event. She shared her topics of expertise as we talked about some recent changes in the business world. This felt like a mutually interesting, and rather pleasant conversation. Minutes later, she ushered her friend to come over to chime in, who was also a business coach. Immediately, the tone changed from warm and inviting to cold, over-powering and direct. The other coach immediately started to find fault and poke holes in our meaningful conversation.   This interaction led me to this realization; There is much to consider when choosing the right helpers in our lives. I would caution anyone to start with your personality type when seeking a coach or mentor. In today's episode, I sit down and give you some practical tools for finding the right person to help you with the major decisions in your life.

How to teach kids accountability? We need to first start with ourselves.   Grab The Accountability Planner this month, hold yourself to execution without overwhelm.        HOW TO SET GOALS AND BE ACCOUNTABLE     Are you struggling to stay on top of your to-do list? Feeling like you're never really accomplishing anything? If so, you're not alone. A lot of us have trouble setting goals and then holding ourselves accountable to actually achieving them. But it doesn't have to be that way! With a little bit of effort, you can learn how to set goals and be accountable for reaching them. Here are some tips to get you started:   During the beginning of the year, or the start of a new project, we can be overly excited and then reality sets in and accountability dwindles. What does it take to keep going and finish what we've started? How can we take a position of accountability towards our goals and dreams?   First, figure out what you want to accomplish. This may seem obvious, but it's important to start with a clear goal in mind. What do you want to achieve? Once you know that, you can start working on a plan to make it happen.   Next, break down your goal into smaller steps. When we have a big goal that seems impossible, it can be helpful to break it down into smaller pieces. That way, we can focus on one thing at a time and feel like we're making progress instead of getting overwhelmed.   Finally, hold yourself accountable by setting regular reminders or deadlines. Make sure to check in with yourself periodically (weekly or monthly) to see how you're doing. And don't forget to celebrate your successes along the way!   Setting goals and being accountable for reaching them doesn't have to be difficult or tedious. By following these simple tips, you'll be on your way to becoming more productive and achieving the things you want in life! How to improve personal accountability Personal accountability is about being responsible and owning what happens in your life. It doesn't mean that you never make mistakes, but it does mean that you learn from your mistakes and take responsibility for your life. To be more accountable, think before you act and be aware of your words and actions. Taking responsibility for what we say, do, and decide will help us improve our ability to control our own lives.   It is important to set goals to reach our ambitions and improve our lives. With each goal, we need to stay committed, take ownership of our plans and strive for smaller wins along the way. This is where accountability comes in - by being accountable we can stay on track and keep ourselves driven no matter how challenging our journey.   Some journeys are undoubtly harder than others. That's why it is imperative to create personal and social accountability. We must also understand that there is a difference between responsibility and accountability. Having one without the other will not help us grow.     This year let's commit to being accountable and crushing our goals! Implementing specific processes for self-accountability is key if you really want your dreams to come true. So don't wait any longer; grab The Accountability Planner to hold yourself more accountable, execute with more intention, and finally reach your goals this year! That way you'll be light years ahead on achieving success!      

What can catapult your life this year?  These 3 Things! 1. Make sure your resolutions are realistic, achievable and measurable so that you can track your progress throughout the year.   2. Take into account any obstacles or challenges you may face when creating your resolution, and develop strategies to help you stay on track and achieve your goals.   3.

How We Miss God Through Religion   Today, I sit down and talk to author Micheal Ward about Religion vs Relationship with God.   We also talk about different religions, how to read the Bible in a year, and what are the fruits of the spirit?   Oftentimes, we can miss a wholesome relationship with God with religion. Religion can be rule based, where as, our relationship with God is heart-based.   In his book The Sixth Sola, Micheal explains a clear relationship with God, and how to grow deeper with God by reading the Bible each day. His framework will help you map out a plan to complete your goal to grow with God. Michael Joseph Ward (born July 7, 1961) is the youngest of four of a split Roman Catholic/Presbyterian/Lutheran family. Due to the complexity of the various messages heard, he developed a system of reading the New Testament, one chapter a day, in pursuit of the essential message amongst the many promoted by others. It became clear that no one “Church” owned the message, but our common Scriptures suggest a core principle to walk in the Spirit. We are each called to a renewed mind, a transformation for every moment, as we have another day to produce more fruit of the Spirit for God's creation. His first book, "The Sixth Sola' is released in June 2020.   Please Share, Rate, and Subscribe to this podcast anywhere you're listening from.

But life's road has many detours, as does the Camino.  Read about the wisdom of forgiveness and the possibilities that exist for us in our lives she shared with fellow pilgrims along the way; encounters of the heart, feet, and stomach; meals, and wine shared; hallowed places visited and an ancient night-time Easter pageant with masked drummers. She revels in the joy of experiencing the beauty of the natural environment in Northern Spain. She collects heart-shaped rocks to share, and stamps on her Pilgrim Passport to earn the Compostela official certificate.  How to forgive a father who molested you? How to forgive a molestor?

BUSINESS IDEA ROADMAP https://www.subscribepage.com/business-idea-checklist-offer   What's holding you back from being the person you want to be?  Often times we hold ourselves back without even realizing it. We get in our own way by convincing ourselves that we can't do something or aren't good enough. We sabotage our own success by putting limitations on ourselves. The truth is, we can do anything we set our minds to. We are capable of anything we want to be. We just have to believe in ourselves and go for it.   The key to success is within you. You must believe in your own ability and worthiness before anyone else will. We all have moments where we feel like giving up--like nothing we do ever seems good enough, or even possible for that matter; but as long as one person believes in us then anything can happen because their belief creates momentum which drives toward greatness no matter what obstacles arise along the way What's holding you back from being the person you've always dreamed of?  We all have days when we tell ourselves that it's not worth the effort. But, as hard and challenging as life may seem sometimes-you are only limiting your potential by accepting these limitations for granted! You can be someone else or do something new if you want too; there isn't any reason why every person should allow themselves impossible demands on who they are now (and what future success could bring). Of course, this isn't always easy. We all have our doubts and insecurities. But if we want to achieve our goals, we have to push through them. We have to find the courage to believe in ourselves, even when we don't feel like it. So don't let yourself hold you back, become all of who you were born to be In this episode we'll take a look at how you might be sabotaging your success and what you can do to start being aware of those sneaky little habits that threaten our opprotunities. Grab your coffee and learn how to start achieving your goals today!   Before I first started my business,  I worked on my talent for over 7 years under an experienced salon owner You don't need to spend years in college or quit your job to become an entrepreneur.    There are countless opportunities for work at home and online business ideas if you are just simply developing your talent!   Don't let "experts" tell you to quit your job and have no income to support yourself, your kids, or your lifestyle.    You can still work and become a business owner all at the same time! You can eventually scale and become a full time entrepreneur.  BUSINESS IDEA ROADMAP https://www.subscribepage.com/business-idea-checklist-offer  

How do you define self-care? Self care can be defined in so many different ways to so many different people. It means something different to everyone.

This can be in your personal life, business, relationships, or any area of your life.   Assessment involves a high level of honesty, integrity and humility.  When we are getting honest with ourselves, sometimes, it's not easy to look at. But, if we constantly deny where we are, we can't get to where were going. So, being honest with our life assessments is an imperative step to growing exponentially in 2022.     Stop caring what people think   Decide once and for all- You could care less about what they think because they, don't buy your food, put clothes on your back or shoes on your feet- and if they do, you still need to think for yourself boo.  When we care what people think, it can literally paralyze us and cause us to overthink out gifts, abilities and talents, or even quit.    Example- We are born with creativity, ideas, abundance and the world come along and snatches that away.      Surround yourself with Positive People and Energy    People who actually want you to have it and run with it.  I can give you so many examples of how I placed myself in environments of shame, blame and negativity, all because it was familiar.  Some familiar environments aren't conducive to your exponential growth.  And if you don't have many friends, know this, you have God.     Organize your priorities   Sometimes life is just unorganized and unfruitful because of this one thing. Plan your life according to your priorities.  If you're in school, that takes priority over endless fun.  If you're a parent, that takes priority over everything. Any priority in your life is like a jewel under the earth. If you dig for it with focus and attention, you get the jewel, if not, you overlook the brilliant shine in your life.     Focus on Your Goals Myopically When a horse is running a race, he had blinders on. He can't look to the left or right because if he does, he'll get distracted and try to run in the other lane, and move exactly like his opponent, and mess everything up.   Thank you for listening.

Self-Love Journey   Are you wondering what's the next step for your life as far as having an authentic self-love journey.   I've often found that we are pretending a lot in life, walking through familiar settings, not really loving ourselves as we should.   How do you develop self-love?   We develop self-love by making authentic choices, choosing ourselves over everyone else. Now, I know that sounds a bit selfish. However, you will never be able to be good for anyone else unless you love yourself.   Why is self-love so important?    Self-love is so important for so many reasons.  First, you are the machine of your life.  If you never stop to oil the machine, you won't be able to move powerfully through this life.  Self-love is the oil to our machines.   What is the key to self-love?   The key to self-love is constantly letting go of the things that no longer fuel your soul.  From toxic relationships to environments and all in between. Letting go is like moving the needle towards the positive area in our lives.   What is the feeling of self-love?   When we finally arrive at self-love, the feeling is euphoric, causing us to finally breath in all of God's goodness, and the life we deserve with clear hearts and minds.    Today, I sit down and talk with author, Nenia Corcoran, a survivor of domestic violence and advocate for self-love and self-care.  Nenia is the author of two books, and helps young people understand the power of loving yourself enough to let go.    Purchase her book here: https://www.amazon.com/He-Loves-Not-Nenia-Corcoran/dp/0578893843/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?crid=2I4VS0R62QIFW&keywords=Nina+corcoran%2C+he+loves+me+not&qid=1636062874&qsid=140-4951281-9381117&sprefix=nina+corcoran%2C+he+loves+me+not%2Caps%2C82&sr=8-1-fkmr2&sres=B0716J6G8X%2CB095BRZYP2%2CB01IS6XXYW%2CB000G5Z3RO%2C0578893843%2CB08JJT6VKS%2CB086HWYNC8%2CB07WPYC3FS&srpt=ABIS_EBOOKS

What causes low self-esteem in a man? What is the root cause of low self-esteem? How to overcome unworthiness?    

What is low self-esteem? Low self-esteem is when someone lacks confidence about who they are and what they can do. They often feel incompetent, unloved, or inadequate. People who struggle with low self-esteem are consistently afraid about making mistakes or letting other people down   How do we get to a point in life where we have low or no self-worthiness? How does this type of thinking effect every area of our lives?   Believe it or not, it shows up in our relationships, parenting, connections and even our goals for the future.  If we believe something about ourselves way down on the inside, chances are, those same thoughts, beliefs and ideas show up on the outside.   Today, I have the awesome opportunity to speak with a mindset/self- development  coach and learn more about “Self-worthiness”. How we arrive at it? How do we keep it? Alexa  Martin is a mindset coach helping overwhelmed and anxious high achievers learn how to feel calm, clear & confident. She coaches through 1:1, corporate workshops and leads a group program - LMTLSS.
