My Purposeful Planning

I've got my friend, Ashley, joining me for this episode. Ashley's family is debt-free, and they have some really unique & unconventional ideas for saving money and living frugally. She's got a wealth of knowledge in this area, and she shares so many ideas for how you can Win with Money in your life too! 

In this episode we're chatting about ways that we can take things we glean from social media, podcast episodes, our friends, and many other places to tweak them and make them work for our own lives.

There's a lot going on in the world right now. I don't know about for you, but for me - that sometimes brings up a lot of feelings and emotions that I've got to process. No matter what you're feeling today, there's one thing that you and I can all do. I hope the scripture I share today encourages you if you're feeling a little unsettled today like me. 

In this episode, I'm giving you a little life update after a busy Summer, and I'm chatting about three little words that have been on my heart and mind lately. 

In this episode we chat about two different types of Time-Blocking. Hear how Laney has used this helpful trick for fitting in all the tasks of the day, and learn how you can make it work for you too! 

I always like to choose a Focus Word of the Year... Usually it's something that God lays on my heart, and it's a word that challenges me and inspires me to be purposeful with my goals and daily actions. Early in the year, I don't always understand the impact my word will have, but by the end of the year it is evident. God always does really cool things along with my Word of the Year! 

In this episode, Laney shares about something she's been struggling through for a while: Body Image, Self Acceptance, Radical Love, and her Weight Loss (or lack-there-of). She hopes that in sharing about it, it will bring freedom to herself as it has in the past but also to others as well. 

In this episode, Laney shares her goals for the year 2020 and how she breaks each one down into mini goals and simple starting steps. The method of taking the big picture ideas and breaking them down into bite-size chunks really is proven to be successful and effective!  Access the show notes with all of the links and resources from today's episode by going to www.MyPurposefulPlanning.com/ep014 Join the My Purposeful Planning Community on Patreon at www.Patreon.com/MyPurposefulPlanning To view a trasnscript of the audioblog episode, you can read the orginal post here.

Hard seasons are inevitable in life, and especially for us as Christians. There is lots to be learned during our hard seasons, and we can always be thankful for the growth and maturity that we find from perservering through hard things. I believe that the things I've learned in this particular hard season have not been just for me, but for others as well.I'm learning how to be more empathetic and compassionate to those around me, and I'm convicted that I haven't been the friend that I need to be to those around me.     I don't know where you find yourself today. Maybe you are the one struggling with something. I am praying for you that you can find HOPE and LIFE through this episode, and ultimately Jesus. Nothing else in life satisfies like Jesus. Be blessed, friends! I'm so glad you're here!  You can find me at www.mypurposefulplanning.com. You can join my email newsletter there, find our more about my upcoming online course and 2020 planner.
