Comparison is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to living a joyful and fulfilled life. When we compare ourselves and our lives' to other people we will either puff up in pride or sink down in insecurity. The temptation to compare will come, just remember that no one has a perfect set of circumstances, and everyone experiences pain. Instead of living in the discouraging land of comparison, let's walk in love and compassion towards everyone we encounter. God created each of us with a unique plan and being jealous and hateful or covetous is a distraction that stops us from focusing on who HE made us to be and on His purpose for our lives!!!

Corrine's personal journey alongside her husband's recovery from addiction opened her eyes to the pervasive issue of codependency, prompting her to embrace and teach the transformative power of living Coda Free.

Her belief in empowering women to pursue their callings, whether at home, in the community, or the business world, underscores the importance of supporting one another in our diverse journeys. For families and moms tuning in, Corrine's message is clear: listen to your inner callings, align with what feels right for you and your family, and don't wait for the perfect time to pursue your passions. It's about following what you feel nudged to do and ensuring that alignment comes from a place of partnership with God, recognizing the divine potential within you.

Unearth new realms of spirituality with Jannecke Øinæs, and let's traverse the universe together!Guest Biography:The entrepreneur Jannecke Øinæs has an important story to tell. Currently there is a rising number of people who suffer from depression and anxiety. Jannecke has suffered from depression herself but has managed to overcome it.She was a celebrated child star during the eighties and nineties and her identity was closely connected to what she could achieve. As an adult she landed several big roles in, amongst others, Hotel Cæsar (A norwegian soap opera), Grease at Chat Noir, Jul i Blåfjell at Folketeatret and Oslo Nye Teater (Christmas in the Blue Mountain, Norwegian Musical). When she lost her voice in 2001 and also had to give up a leading role in the musical “Little Shop of Horrors”, she hit rock bottom. A severe depression followed and her way out of it became the start of something that was in its infant stages at that time.When Jannecke founded Wisdom From North there were very few others on YouTube who were teaching within spirituality. She was one of the pioneers behind the wave of spirituality and life changes we see today.

What happens when your sense of identity is intertwined with your company to the point where stepping down feels like losing a part of yourself? That's the journey I embarked on after my nine-figure exit. This week, I sat down with Sean Kelly on "Digital Social Hour" to share the personal struggles I faced in the aftermath of stepping down. I had to rediscover my purpose and learn to appreciate the beauty and balance in life. Understanding the significance of masterminds, mentors, and the right circle of influence can be a game-changer. I give a peek behind the scenes of my journey, from attending masterminds that altered my life to building a team and facing the challenges of relinquishing power. Through a personal, life-threatening incident, I want to remind you of the power of appreciating the simple moments in life and the significance of cultivating gratitude. Join us on this enlightening journey that challenges us to reevaluate our definitions of success. Highlights: “And I think that's what people really want. They want authenticity, they want somebody that's done it.” "I think the biggest thing that I've learned is that you have to be willing to take risks.” "Nothing bugs me more than some self-help guru that is like 22 years old and never done it.

In this episode, we explored the negative impact of comparison and how it has intensified in the age of social media. Comparing ourselves to others leads to self-doubt, negativity, and harms our mental health. We also discussed how comparison puts us in a constant competition mode, where we strive to one-up others and chase achievements or possessions just to keep up. By shifting our focus inward, embracing our own journey, and practicing self-acceptance, we can break free from the comparison trap and live a happier life.

In this episode you will hear Jen and I discuss how easy it is to fall into the comparison trap and how to overcome comparison between us women in the power of the Holy Spirit. The enemy would rather of us sisters in Christ divided or tearing each other down. Even staying silent (or withholding our encouraging words) when we see another woman following the Lord is damaging. I share the verse Romans 12:15: Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Jen shares Psalm 139 (when we are rooted in who we are we are far less likely to tear other women down). We can overcome this by hiding God's Word in our hearts and minds, keeping our eyes on Jesus, praying for one another, saying encouraging and edifying things to each other and more. Jen shares a lot of verses to encourage us and an AWESOME phrase that I LOVE to help overcome comparison (around the 21 minute marker). Shoot me a message on Instagram, FB, or email and tell me what you think it is. The final verse shared was Ephesians 2:10 - For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. We are all on TEAM JESUS doing His work for His glory. AMEN?!

Can you believe we are on day 5 already?  I want to thank you for allowing me a platform to speak to you from my heart. I truly have given all I could to present this study in a way that is understandable and relatable. I hope you've found those to be true.    If I were your enemy, I'd work to create division between you and other christians, between groups of Christians, anyone with the potential for uniting in battle against me and my plans. I'd keep you operating individually, not seeing your need for the church or tying yourself too closely to its mission. Strength in numbers and unity of purpose….I would not allow things like these to go unchecked. If I were your enemy, I'd use every opportunity to bring old wounds to mind, as well as the people, events and circumstances that caused them. I'd try to ensure that your heart was hardened with anger and bitterness. Shackled through unforgiveness. Find out what our March Bible study will be about and more about how to combat these last two tactics of the enemy. Giveaway only for participants in ADHD Wives Club.

Welcome to day 4 of the overcoming comparison Bible study. If you're just finding this for the first time, please go back and watch/listen to the studies in order.  So over the last 3 lessons, I've covered how the enemy attacks your passion, focus, identity, family, confidence and your calling. Today I'm going to cover how the enemy attacks your purity and your rest and contentment. If I were your enemy, I'd tempt you towards certain sins, making you believe you are basically (even biologically) unavoidable. I'd study your tendencies and proclivities til I learned the precise conditions that make you the most likely to indulge them. And then I'd strike you there. Again and again. Wear you down. Because if I can't separate you from God forever, I can at aleast set you at odds with him for the time being. Giveaway only for participants in ADHD Wives Club.

Over the last few nights I've been discussing the tactics of the enemy and how he comes in to attack you in multiple ways to keep you stuck in a whirlwind of confusion….never reaching your full potential.    Tonight I want to discuss that if I were your enemy, I'd attack you with your past. Priscilla say, “I'd constantly remind you of your past mistakes and poor choices, I'd want to keep you burdened by shame and guilt, in hopes that you'll feel incapacitated by your many failings and see no point in even trying again. I'd work to convince you that you've had your chance and blown it-that your God may be able to forgive some people for some things, but not you, not for this.

Welcome back! Today is day two of our overcoming comparison Bible study. If you missed yesterday, please go back and listen to that one because I laid the groundwork for this study in that lesson. There are things there that I will not be covering again today.   Last night we talked about the enemy stealing your passion and your focus. Tonight, I want to speak about the enemy stealing your identity and your family. Priscilla says, “If I were your enemy, I'd devalue your strength and magnify your insecurities until they dominate how you see yourself, disabling and disarming you from fighting back, from being free, from being who God created you to be. I'd work hard to ensure that you never realize what God has given you so you'll doubt the power of God within you.” Today I share details about Ken and I's testimony that I've not shared before except when ministering to someone in similar situations 1:1.   My calling was never promised to be easy. I don't share things on public platforms like this and my podcast to get attention or simply because I'm an oversharer. Mental health and addiction are both rageing in our homes and taking our families. I am sharing parts of our story because if I were your enemy and wanted you to be stuck in the comparison trap....I'd attack your identity and your family....you don't want to miss this.   Watch the Overcomer Clip: https://youtu.be/K8wW6T4Vhko Giveaway only for participants in ADHD Wives Club.

Welcome Ladies to Day one of the Overcoming Comparison Bible Study. I have prayed over this study, I have walked this study and I know that it is for every single person who chose to show up. Showing up is the first step in your healing. You know, if I were your enemy, I'd be very strategic in how I attacked you. In reading the book, Fervent, by Priscilla Shirer, she talks about 10 strategies the enemy uses to destroy you. I will be covering two per lesson throughout our time together.   Today I cover the first two areas the enemy tries to steal....your passion+your focus.

For instance, by comparing your life to someone else's highlight reel on social media, or being critical of your own willpower and abilities? Avoiding these mental traps can be difficult in a culture that emphasizes the importance of being 'special.'Of course, we are all special – and all ordinary. On this episode of Being Well, Dr. Rick and Forrest Hanson are joined by psychologist and author Dr. Ronald Siegel to discuss why that might not be such a bad thing. They discuss how to drop the myth of the extraordinary, how to heal from feelings of inadequacy, and what healthy self-esteem looks like.About our Guest: Dr. Siegel is Assistant Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School, international speaker on the topics of mindfulness and compassion, and author of several books including his latest, The Extraordinary Gift of Being Ordinary: Finding Happiness Right Where You Are.Watch the Episode: Prefer watching video?
