THE WAY FAM

We met Xavier about 3 years ago, he was in the air force and decided to try out van life. Immediately he became a regular at our weekly family dinners and a part of our community group. Fast forward to now and he's a personal trainer and coach in LA working on writing a book. In this episode, we talk about how to find your purpose. Xavier has a list of 7 questions for someone who is looking to find their purpose: 1. Who is God?  2. Who are you?   3. Where do you come from?  4. What can you do?  5. Who are you serving through your gifts and why?  6. What do the people you're serving want or need?7. Where are you going?You can find Xavier on Instagram @_weaponx or check out his website: https://surgefit.squarespace.comWe would love to hear from you!!!Follow us on Instagram!Like us on Facebook!If you have questions or suggestions or jokes or ideas, email us at thewayfampodcast@gmail.comSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoff.ee/thewayfam)

Q: What is most important for us right now? A: Survival and balance. As parents with 3 kiddos, its A LOT with both of us working from home, homeschooling, making healthy meals, cleaning the house, trying to be intentional, and not dying/going insane. Here's some tips for how we're handling these strange times. Wake up and start your day positive  (don't start the day with phone/news/emails) Get outside (multiple times per day, regular intervals, set a timer and go for a walk) Practice gratitude (set a timer or keep a journal) Get moving (sweat 20 min a day) Reset to zero (don't start your day in the red, set yourself up for success) Han's recommendations:Coffee RecipeMission House BandZach's recommendations:Stay Sane ChallengeClutterfree App My new daily devotional podcast This Is The WayWe would love to hear from you!!!Follow us on Instagram!Like us on Facebook!If you have questions or suggestions or jokes or ideas, email us at thewayfampodcast@gmail.comwe love ya!!xoxoSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoff.ee/thewayfam)

Over the year, we have had various goals for different areas of life, and pretty much all of our achievement goals, we either reframed, rewrote, or rejected. We talk about how the goals that had the most impact and affected the most change were small little habits that were fruitful and multiplied via compound interest. It's funny when they say shoot for the moon, and you might land among the stars because that's setting yourself up for failure. If the goal is to hit the target, make a habit of practicing every day. I wish we never wrote achievement goals, what a colossal waste of time compared to habits.

We had a miscarriage, celebrated our 5th anniversary, then what happened? We stopped doing the podcast. To be honest, it was like a hurricane of a couple of months, here we are at the end of the year, 23 days until Christmas. We decided it's probably time for us to write down our vision for the life we desire and build purposeful habits around that. We think that the best way for us to do that is to write a rule of life. So, we talk a little bit about what a rule of life is and why we want to write one.  Recommendations: Bridgetown Church Audio Practicing The Way, Rule of Life WorkbookThe Ruthless Elimination of HurrySpartan FitWe would love to hear from you!!!Leave us a voicemail at 1(805) 242-6559Follow us on Instagram!Like us on Facebook!If you have questions or suggestions or jokes or ideas, email us at thewayfampodcast@gmail.comwe love ya!!xoxoSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoff.ee/thewayfam)

For our five year anniversary, we went to Kauai, without kids. It was such a beautiful place, and we had such a nice time. But it was weird and it took some time to actually just stop and relax. We were removed from our normal life and we weren't distracted by business and work and all the things that go on. We used to travel a lot, but not so much anymore. In this episode, we talk about the difference between experiencing a new thing and documenting them and how our mindset has shifted. We want to remember things how they were and not a staged or perfected version of our memories. Han's Recommendations: Kauai Guide BookDark Chocolate Sunflower See Butter CupsSumo OrangesZach's Recommendations:Digital MinimalismBlinkist AppScreen Time RestrictionsValley of VisionReset to ZeroWe would love to hear from you!!!

"Do one thing every day that scares you" - Eleanor Roosevelt When you get stuck, you just need a little jumpstart to get out of the pit. Starting something new is the most uncomfortable part about change. Seth Godin says: “Change your mind, change your life. The only way to get better is to do things differently.”  You can't grow if you can't change. You can't change if you can't think differently. But once you start, your momentum snowballs.

Why is it difficult to make friends?Why is it important to make friends?As a married couple with kids, it's difficult to make friends, but we think a lot of the reasons why begins with our avoidance of stepping out into potentially awkward situations. We could use the fact that we've moved 4 times in the first two years of our marriage, but to be honest that probably just an excuse. Making friends is important and it gets more difficult as you grow older, so we should probably work on it a little more. Recommendations: Oatly.comTrader Joes:     Chili Lime Salt    Mango Jicama Slaw    Churro Bites    Mango JuiceHopesfallSteeped CoffeeLiving Forward by Michael HyattWe would love to hear from you!!! Leave us a voicemail at 1(805) 242-6559 Follow us on Instagram! Like us on Facebook! If you have questions or suggestions or jokes or ideas, ask us or email us at thewayfampodcast@gmail.com we love ya!! xoxoSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoff.ee/thewayfam)

Sometimes the beliefs you hold, end up holding you back. “I'm not good enough, I can't, I don't have enough time, I'm not as good as _____, I would if I had more money, this is how I am, I can't change, if my circumstances were different I could”... etc. These beliefs cause us to think with a scarcity mentality which in turn causes depression, comparison, settling, complacency, dependence, fear... etc. Understanding scarcity mentality is a good first step in change. Even though we're just average people, we have the ability to live extraordinary lives if we change the way we think and don't allow ourselves to become victims of our thought patterns or life circumstances.

Do you know when you are trying to get someones attention and they just aren't getting it?

I'm sipping coffee and bourbon (mixed obvi). Daylight savings time is sweet because we get more time to catch the sunset but it also messes up our nap and wake up time schedules for the kiddos.

Good goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant( be yours) and time-bound. Set goals early, write them down and display them publicly. Only 3% of Americans do this, most Americans fail at their New Years resolutions by January 15. Here's some categories, define what your areas are, then list them in order of value. 1. Spiritual: 2. Family: 3. Mental (intellectual): 4. Emotional: 5. Physical: 6. Social: 7. Environmental: 8. Financial: 9. Career: Share your goals and objectives, be specific with who you're sharing- make sure they keep you accountable. Don't bother sharing them with people who don't value the things you value.

Ordinary people can still live extraordinary lives when they learn patience & perseverance. We value continual personal growth, relational growth, spiritual growth, intellectual growth etc, but what do you do when you feel like you're stuck in a “season” and not able to see any progress? Do you give up? Do you roll over? Do you make rash decisions? Or are you patient? We're half as patient as we would like to be less than half of the time.

It's important to be honest with ourselves and be able to identify things that we actually value vs. things we wish we valued more. Once we identify our core values- making decisions is a lot easier, but if we haven't defined what we value we run the risk of drifting in the unknown. For creatives and business minded people to be unclear is to be unkind, and that is why it is crucial to define your core values for yourself. We talk about all this and answer some emails in this episode. Fern tried to sabotage this recording but (hopefully) she failed.
