The Strong and Capable

After waking up feeling heart broken over the shootings in Texas, Brigette takes a moment to encourage and lift her audience. Feel the feelings and then choose what to do with them.

In this episode Brigette invitees you into her free monthly class as she shares the secret recipe that has guided her since she was a young adult, enabling her to over come fear and choose the life she wants to live. "The secret recipe is all about mindset and mental health. Its all about tuning into your mind and heart so you can make a plan for how to take care of yourself." when we tell ourself negative things, when we choose to put ourself down and tell ourselves negative things " I am no good, very bad and horrible, it makes us weak. The way me make ourselves strong is the opposite, I am good, strong, capable, passionate..." "I have been on a mission for 8 years- what is strong and capable, what does that mean and why does it matter if we believe it." We are born with all the best ingredients, the perfect recipe for success, but life makes us doubt that and so we start switching up the ingredients a bit.. if we would just follow the recipe we would be good.. but we switch up the recipe as we experience life which makes us doubt ourselves. We start telling ourselves every time we have a failure, or we THINK we have a failure, we tell ourself that we are doing something WRONG, our brain is trying to keep us safe- which is good, but we were never in danger, and what happens is by the time we are a teenager we don't know who wee are and we start desperately to lash out and find ourselves again. The things of our heart, we just don't want to give up on them. While music is something I love, It became something I did in secret.. We can evolve and we can change when I started to rewrite my thoughts I realized that maybe I am not a professional singer, but its something I love, its part of who I am, its part of my DNA, part of my perfect recipe. I accept myself unconditionally right now- Becky Kemp Say "I am learning", We are always learning, always growing... Everything you do is a content process of learning and growing and as soon as you accept that, life gets easier. You think 70-80,000 thoughts a day and if you don't know what recipes are going, what code is being written for your actions, you don't have the power over your life you want to have. What you are doing a thought inventory- Write WHATEVER comes to your mind, it take practice to tune into your thoughts. Look at your thoughts, positive, negative and everything in between and start to look for patterns because a Thought + belief = Feeling Limiting beliefs hold you back. when your consistently telling yourself "I have no control over my life" then that becomes a belief and it holds you back. your brain is going to search for evidence of every living belief, so the new belief has to be something you ACTUALLY believe so you have to take those patterns and negative thoughts and rewrite them, literally- write them down and create a new belief that is positive and give it evidence to take root in your mind and heart. One (negative thought) is stopping and draining me and one (positive thought) is powerful and gives me purpose you can put your new beliefs on your mirror, on your phone screen, on a 3 by 5 card and take it with you wherever you go. take your new belief "evidence" from outside sources that are trusted. "I used to be afraid of the dark until I learned that I AM A LIGHT and the dark is afraid of me (Ephesians 5:8) The evidence should be clean, clear and something you can trust, there will be times when life is hard and the anxiety pops up to tell you that your new belief is bad and wrong, but you will be able to say "no, no" I know the truth because you have the new belief you have rewritten. Some women Fear the fire, some become it R.H Sin Desperation does not bring victory, what does bring victory is Passion, hope, knowledge.

Quotes from the podcast: I am purpose driven.. and there is something for me to do for God every single day- Kristen I am a daughter of God and I am here for a purpose- Kristen (A spiritual identity) is the foundation on which you build your life with- Brigette but I know who I am, and I have a purpose, so I can't give up- Brigette when you see that God has a purpose for your whole life but also for each season of your life, I can look back and see the purpose in that, how it changed me and it made me more empathetic, it also made me more capable of reaching people I wouldn't be able to reach if my life was just la-dee-da all the time and it also brought me to God in other ways that it couldn't have. Knowing your life has purpose and that God has a purpose for each difficult thing you go through- the is so strengthening for me. - Kristen There is just a level of compassion that God wants us to have for ALL of his children.- Kristen He loves people and its not in spite of their weaknesses and difficulties, but because he sees their power and strength as they fight through it- Kristen "the greatest leaders of all time have compassion"- Joey Heller Compassion is the truest expression of love- Brigette We think we are one thing, but when we open our mimd and our heart to our spiritual identity, when that happens we begin to understand who we really are- Brigette our true self is much more aware then our frontal lobe- Kristen I have a spirit that reminds my brain what it true- Kristen I am amazed at how I can be in a class of 500 on the internet, we do a meditation, and all the sudden everyone is crying. It's because for 2 seconds they let go of what their brain thought and they tune into what their spirit thought. your spirit will call you out but it will love you infinitely.- Brigette If did not believe God created me and I had a purpose and I am accountable to him, I would probably have reacted to my circumstances very differently- Kristen If I didn't believe that God had wanted me on earth, I might have ended that option- Kristen I learned that it was a season and that things will always, always get better... Waiting for 7 years is a long time, but I recognized that I was in a waiting period.- Kristen God had waiting periods, and growing periods and be patient periods.- Kristen there is a clear difference when your living with the spirit and a spiritual identity and not.- Brigette be patient with yourself, its o.k if all you can do today is survive.- Kristen To connect with Brigette and Kristen: Kristen: https://kristenwalkersmith.com/ or https://www.instagram.com/kristenwalkersmith/ Brigette: www.thestrongandcapable.com IG: Brigette.Heller FB: The Strong and Capable Page

Brickman shares his incredible story of overcoming a horrific home invasion that left him with a 10% chance of surviving. He and Brigette Share how our minds can literally make us the villain or hero to those around us and to ourselves. Brickman Allen has spent the last 2 decades teaching others the path to self discovery and inspiring them to live with greater purpose. In 2003, Brick and his wife Malinda were attacked in their home by an intruder; while protecting his wife from harm, Brick received multiple stab wounds to vital organs leaving him in a coma on life support with a ten percent chance of survival. When he was taken off life support, he was given the grim prognosis that his recovery would keep him in the hospital for up to 6 months. Through the power of prayer from hundreds made on his behalf, faith filled priesthood blessings and from living gospel principles all his life, Brick was blessed with heavenly strength and inspiration that allowed him to walk out of the hospital 9 days later. Since that time, he has relentlessly strived to teach others that it is not our circumstances in life, but our understanding of our true self and potential which results in an overcome all, cowboy up attitude that we have within each of us. Through stories and personal experiences, Brick teaches what it means to be a Child of God, bringing greater purpose and answers to individuals of how we are divinely and infinitely connected to our Heavenly Father.

Brigette talks about the stories of our life, how we become the hero, how we coach ourselves through the hard and why it matters

Brigette and Heidi kick off the month talking about co-creation, manifesting and the idea that you truly can become the hero of your own story. Heidi Stevens Bio: My former life was in commercial real estate, where I found myself having a lot of “success” but grappling with how to be a woman in a male dominated industry. Experiencing a health challenge early on, I went on a personal development journey and spiritual quest that led me to many healers, gurus and ultimately receiving my masters in Spiritual Psychology in 2014. I was simultaneously building a multiple 7 figure real estate company while doing this inner work and while I was beginning to find glimpses of inner peace, life still felt divided. As I continued on my journey, I noticed that the more I leaned into meditation, mindset work, manifestation exercises, and the deeper feminine work, the more successful my business became. I attracted my partner and found myself co-creating experiences and attracting things in all areas of my life. I realized just how closely business strategy, spirituality and my mindset were aligned, and I knew it was time for me to share this content with other women. I am a mom of two little ones. I am a wife, a friend, sister, daughter. I am a lover of life and travel and I am committed to experiencing life to the fullest. I look forward to supporting you in using more femininity and spiritually aligned principles to both grow your business and create a life full of meaning, joy and true happiness. Let's Go!
