The Growth Mindset in a Christian Context Paul challenged believers to put effort into their spiritual life. Change is a part of growth and we should desire to be more like Jesus. A Christian is filled with the Holy Spirit who is working to make us like Jesus. Change will happen. The joy is that we can embrace it and benefit from working with God instead of against Him. A growth-minded believer: Welcomes challenges as opportunities for sanctification (James 1:2–4 NKJV). Perseveres under trial, knowing endurance produces spiritual maturity (Romans 5:3–5 NKJV). Seeks feedback and correction, recognizing rebuke refines faith (Proverbs 27:17 NKJV; Proverbs 12:1 NKJV). Celebrates others' growth, rejoicing when fellow believers flourish (Romans 12:15 NKJV). 2. Discipleship and the Great Commission Jesus' charge to “make disciples” frames our growth-oriented calling: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” —Matthew 28:19–20 (NKJV) A growth mindset fuels the “teaching” phase: we believe learners can grow in knowledge, obedience, and Christ-likeness. It also shapes our own approach, as we accept that our skills in evangelism, teaching, and mentoring improve through practice, prayer, and reliance on God. 3. Spiritual Growth is a Process Scripture depicts growth as a journey: “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” —2 Peter 3:18 (NKJV) “Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection…” —Hebrews 6:1 (NKJV) “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” —Philippians 3:14 (NKJV) These passages underscore that maturity takes intentional effort—exactly the outworking of a growth mindset in the spiritual realm. 4. The “One Another's” and Growth Mindset Command Scripture (NKJV) Growth-Mindset Connection Love one another John 13:34–35 Encourages perseverance in relationships even when hard. Serve one another Galatians 5:13 Builds humility and stewards gifts for others' growth. Encourage one another 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Puts others first. Admonish one another Colossians 3:16; Romans 15:14 Welcomes correction for mutual sanctification. Bear one another's burdens Galatians 6:2 Cultivates perseverance and compassion. Spur one another on Hebrews 10:24 Motivates toward good deeds and spiritual progress. Pray for one another James 5:16 Invites God's transforming power in growth. Be kind and tenderhearted Ephesians 4:32 Gives mercy to those who need it, we all do! Together, these “one another's” form the relational soil in which a growth mindset flourishes—each believer both a learner and a teacher, giving and receiving grace, correction, encouragement, and accountability. 5. Practical Implications for Disciple Makers Model a growth mindset by sharing your own struggles and progress in Bible study, prayer, or ministry skills. Set incremental goals for disciples (e.g., memorizing Scripture, leading a small group), celebrating small wins to build confidence (Zechariah 4:10 NKJV). Cultivate “one another” rhythms in your church—regular accountability groups, prayer partnerships, and service teams. Teach the biblical process of growth—explain that sanctification involves trials, correction, and perseverance, rooted in passages like James 1:2–4 (NKJV) and Hebrews 12:11 (NKJV). Encourage reflection—have disciples journal progress, confess weaknesses, and plan next steps, reinforcing that effort and dependence on Christ yield transformation.   **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2**   The Holy Spirit reshapes how we think about challenges, our own abilities, and the process of sanctification. 1. Confess Fixed-Mindset Thinking and Renew Your Mind “I can't change,” “I can't do that.” and the like are big hinderances to spiritual growth. Lies need to be brought into the light and exchanged for truth. The question should be, “What is God doing? What does HE want me to do?” God empowers His people for His work. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” —Romans 12:2 (NKJV) Practice: Keep a “mindset journal.” When you catch yourself thinking “I'll never grow in this,” write it down and pray: “Lord, show me Your truth here.” Replace it with a Scriptural affirmation (“I can grow by God's grace”—Philippians 4:13). 2. Meditate on God's Word Daily A growth mindset flourishes when immersed in truth. Scripture both reveals God's power to change us and gives the roadmap. Read, Think Deeply about,and put it into practice. “…but his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.” —Psalm 1:2 (NKJV) Practice: Start with 5–10 minutes each morning reading a short passage (e.g. one chapter of Proverbs or the Gospels). Ask: “What does this teach me about God's promise to strengthen me?” 3. Pray for Wisdom and Perseverance Growth requires divine enablement—both insight and the grit to keep going. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally…” —James 1:5 (NKJV) “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” —James 1:2–3 (NKJV) Practice: Begin each day by asking God for wisdom to see opportunities for growth and the patience to endure them. When trials come (at work, in relationships, in ministry), thank Him for the refining work He intends. 4. Engage in Christian Community Even if attendance has been spotty, intentional fellowship is vital for encouragement, accountability, and skill development. “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another…” —Hebrews 10:24–25 (NKJV) “As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” —Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV) Practice: Commit to attending at least one fellowship gathering (Sunday service, small group, men's/women's Bible study). Ask a mature believer to meet monthly as a “growth partner” for prayer and feedback. 5. Set Small, Measurable Goals for Spiritual Disciplines SMART goals Growth rarely happens overnight. Incremental victories build confidence that God can grow you further. “For who has despised the day of small things?…” —Zechariah 4:10 (NKJV) Practice: Choose one discipline (e.g., Scripture memory, daily prayer journaling, service) and set a tiny goal: memorize one verse a week, pray five minutes daily, serve once a month. Celebrate each completion by recording it in your journal and thanking God. 6. Welcome Correction and Feedback A growth mindset leans into rebuke, knowing it produces maturity. “The ear that hears the rebukes of life Will abide among the wise.” —Proverbs 15:31 (NKJV) “But exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today,' lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” —Hebrews 3:13 (NKJV) Practice: Invite a trusted mentor or friend to give you honest feedback on your spiritual habits. When you receive correction, respond with “Thank you—help me understand how to improve.” 7. Practice Gratitude and Celebrate Others' Growth Focusing on progress—both yours and others'—reinforces a mindset that abilities can expand. “Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.” —Romans 12:15 (NKJV) “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” —1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) Practice: Keep a “gratitude list” of spiritual wins you see in yourself and others. Send a quick note or text to encourage a fellow believer when they share a breakthrough. 8. Rely on God's Strength in Weakness A growth mindset isn't self-reliance; it's dependence on Christ, who is at work in us. “…when I am weak, then I am strong.” —2 Corinthians 12:10 (NKJV) Practice: In moments of discouragement (“I failed again…”), confess your weakness and ask Christ to work through it. Memorize 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 and speak it aloud whenever you feel stuck.     **(5:00 – 1:00)** Doctrine Today Jesus and His Present Ministry The Holy Spirit's Role in Disciple Making. Dispensational Baptist view of the End Times Understanding Theology is Important The Gospel and Ongoing Disciple Making Church Role in Discerning God's Will Barriers to Disciple Making Spiritual Warfare Jesus – Incarnation God's Sovereignty God's sovereignty means that God reigns over all things with perfect wisdom, power, and love, and nothing in our lives is outside His control. 1. God's Sovereignty Brings Peace in Uncertainty When life feels chaotic or unjust, God's sovereignty assures us that nothing happens apart from His knowledge or plan. “The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.” —Psalm 103:19 (NKJV) “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” —Romans 8:28 (NKJV) Why it matters: Even suffering and confusion have purpose under God's rule. He's not reacting—He's reigning. 2. God's Sovereignty Fuels Evangelism and Disciple-Making Because God is sovereign over salvation, we can evangelize boldly, knowing He draws hearts to Himself. “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.” —John 6:37 (NKJV) “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him…” —John 6:44 (NKJV) Why it matters: The results of disciple-making aren't on your shoulders. You sow and water; God gives the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6–7 NKJV). 3. God's Sovereignty Grounds Our Identity and Purpose You are not random. You are created, saved, and called intentionally. “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.” —Psalm 139:16 (NKJV) “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” —Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV) Why it matters: Your life, your calling, and even your challenges are part of God's good and sovereign plan. 4. God's Sovereignty Produces Worship and Humility When we recognize God is in control and we are not, we bow in awe and dependence. “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, And You are exalted as head over all.” —1 Chronicles 29:11 (NKJV) “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. —Isaiah 55:8 (NKJV) Why it matters: Sovereignty reminds us that God is God—and we are not. 5. God's Sovereignty Guarantees His Promises Will Stand We can believe God's Word with full assurance because no power can thwart His will. “Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?” —Isaiah 43:13 (NKJV) “The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.” —Psalm 33:11 (NKJV) Why it matters: Our eternal hope is secure because it rests in God's unshakable rule.   **(1:00)** It's important for all of us to see the big picture in life. God IS working and He WILL complete His work in you. Daily remind yourself that God is drawing you to Himself and He invites you to be an active participant in your spiritual growth. Reject the lie that you can't change. See the person God wants you to be and put real effort into doing your part, trusting that God will always do His part.   – “Thank you for listening today! -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

Here are five practical ways to slow down and savor life, helping you create more balance, joy, and mindfulness in your personal and entrepreneurial journey. Life moves FAST, doesn't it? If we're not careful, we get swept up in the hustle, always chasing the next thing, and suddenly, we realize we haven't truly enjoyed our days. I've been there, pushing, striving, and forgetting to pause. But this year, I'm making a conscious effort to slow down, reflect, and soak in life's little joys. If you're feeling stretched thin, you are NOT alone. Let's do this together! Here are five ways we can all slow down and savor life. Action Plan: 1 - Prioritize What Matters Most: Do a time audit, set boundaries, and make sure your daily actions reflect what's truly important. 2 - Be Mindful in the Present Moment: Take a deep breath, engage your senses, and stop letting distractions pull you away from what really matters. 3 - Simplify Your Day: Clear the clutter from your schedule, cut out unnecessary tasks, and create routines that bring ease instead of stress. 4 - Make Time for Joyful Activities: Schedule FUN into your week, say "yes" to spontaneous moments, and do the things that fill your cup. 5 - Practice Gratitude for the Small Things:  Keep a gratitude journal, notice the little joys in each day, and share your appreciation with others.

Drawing inspiration from biblical teachings and personal experiences, Adriana and I discuss practical ways to adjust spending habits, embrace gratitude, and prepare for economic uncertainty. From switching to generic brands to cutting down on unnecessary expenses, we will share creative tips for maintaining quality of life without breaking the bank while reminding you that God's provision is eternal, even in economically challenging times. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that centers on trust, stewardship, and the power of preparation. Let's tackle inflation head-on while keeping our spiritual compass aligned!Here are a few key takeaways:Faith Over Fear: Trusting in God's provision can help alleviate financial stress. By focusing on His faithfulness in the past, we can find peace in uncertain times.Smart Spending Strategies: Preparing for the future is crucial. Paying down debt and saving during plentiful times ensures you're ready for any unexpected downturns.Practice Gratitude and Generosity: Even during financial strain, there's always room for gratitude. Recognizing our blessings and sharing our abundance can help inspire and uplift others.Episode References:Matthew 6:31-33 - Shay opens up with this verse which emphasizes not worrying about what you will eat, drink, or wear because God will provide. The focus is on seeking God's kingdom and righteousness first.Joseph's Story - Adriana talks about the story of Joseph from the Bible, who prepared for the famine by storing grain. It's a great example of preparation and trusting God's guidance.Proverbs 22:7 - While not directly quoted, the idea of not being a slave to the lender is mentioned, reflecting this Proverb.2 Timothy 1:7 - Adriana touches on not being given a spirit of fear, which reflects this verse that speaks about power, love, and a sound mind instead of fear.Send us a text

On this episode, Pastor Tommy and Pastor Trey talk about five ways that we can practice gratitude this holiday season.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are going beyond the discovery and exploring what an ongoing life of gratitude, looks like. We all know the buzz about finding gratitude—it's like the self-help world's holy grail. But let's be real, what's the point of finding something amazing if you don't know how to hold onto it? It's like finding the perfect snack in the pantry and then eating it all in one go—gone too soon! Gratitude shouldn't be a one-hit wonder; it's meant to be the background music of your life, playing on repeat. In this episode, we're diving into what happens after you find gratitude. How can you turn those fleeting “thank goodness” moments into a sustainable practice? What does it do for your day-to-day mood and the bigger picture of your life? And, most importantly, how can you live in gratitude rather than treating it like a magic wand you wave when things get rough?  Let's explore how to make gratitude less of a to-do list item and more of a way of being—because a grateful heart isn't just lighter, it's stronger. Buckle up, this journey will leave you feeling uplifted and ready to embrace life's magic, one thankful moment at a time! So if I asked you, what is your gratitude practice, what would you say? Journaling, prayer, when someone reminds me, or only around the table one day of the year? Well, I might be all of the above. I do usually start a prayer with what I'm thankful for and I have been known to journal a gratitude list a time or two. I even have a group chat with some diligent members who prompt me to steer my morning in a thoughtful and thankful way. But how can we go from using gratitude as a quick fix to truly integrating it into their lives? Sheldon Reid shares The Benefits of Gratitude and How to Practice It found in the Help Guide John Bradley makes the connection between the transformative duo: Gratitude and Empathy: Cultivating Understanding and Compassion for Others. Found on Medium. On Fearless Soul's YouTube channel, I found Say "Thank You" - Motivation On The Importance Of Gratitude - what a nice and uplifting way to end. Just like any good habit, gratitude requires intentionality and practice to turn it from a fleeting feeling into a lasting lifestyle. Here's how you can build a gratitude practice that not only sticks but transforms the way you see the world: Anchor Gratitude to Daily Habits One of the easiest ways to make gratitude sustainable is to attach it to something you already do. For example: Morning Routine: Start each day by naming three things you're grateful for before getting out of bed or while sipping your coffee. Mealtime: Reflect on what you're grateful for as part of saying grace or a moment of mindfulness before eating. Evening Wind-Down: End the day with a gratitude journal entry or a quick reflection on the best part of your day. Practice Gratitude in Action Gratitude is most powerful when it's expressed, not just felt. Find ways to act on your gratitude: Write thank-you notes to people who've made a difference in your life, whether recently or years ago. Compliment someone genuinely and specifically—it could brighten their day and remind you of what you appreciate about others. Volunteer your time or donate to causes you're passionate about as a way of giving back in gratitude. Incorporate Gratitude Into Challenges Gratitude isn't just for sunny days. It becomes truly transformative when applied during tough times. When faced with challenges: Look for the lesson or growth opportunity in the situation. Reflect on past difficulties and what they taught you. Focus on the support or resources you have to navigate the challenge. Surround Yourself with Gratitude Cues Sometimes we need a little nudge to keep our gratitude practice on track. Set up reminders and cues in your environment: Place sticky notes with positive affirmations or gratitude prompts on your mirror, desk, or fridge. Use a gratitude app or set a daily reminder on your phone to pause and reflect. Display photos, keepsakes, or mementos that remind you of meaningful people, moments, or accomplishments. Create a Gratitude Accountability Partner Everything's more fun (and sustainable) with a buddy! Share your gratitude goals with a friend or family member and check in with each other regularly. This could be as simple as exchanging texts about what you're grateful for or meeting up to talk about the positive things happening in your lives. CHALLENGE: Gratitude isn't just something you find—it's something you live, and the real magic happens when you let it ripple through your thoughts, choices, and connections. Challenge yourself to go beyond fleeting moments of thankfulness and create a practice that transforms your perspective, strengthens your relationships, and fuels your joy every single day!   I Know YOU Can Do It!

One way to feel more thankful for things is to imagine life without them. We explore a practice shown to help you see the bright side, even when you feel down.We know gratitude is good for us, but what if we're struggling to feel it? This week's guest, author and podcast producer Stephanie Foo, finds herself missing her close-knit “chosen family” in California since moving to New York. Foo tries a practice called mental subtraction, where she imagines her life without New York. Later, gratitude researcher Ernst Bohlmeijer  shares how gratitude practices can reshape our emotions and possibly our whole outlook, and how the Mental Subtraction of Positive Events practice can be antidote to taking things for granted.Practice: Take a moment to think about a positive event in your life. It could be a career or educational achievement or a special trip you took. Imagine yourself back in the time of this event. Think about the circumstances that made it possible.  Ponder on the ways in which this event may never have happened. For example, if you hadn't learned about a certain job opening at the right moment.  Write down all of the possible events and decisions - large and small - that could have gone differently and prevented this positive event from occurring.  Imagine what your life would be like now if you had not experienced this positive event and all the fruits that came from it.  Remind yourself that this positive event did happen and reflect upon the benefits it has brought you. Allow yourself to feel grateful that things happened as they did.  Find the full Mental Subtraction of Positive Events practice at our Greater Good in Action website: https://ggia.berkeley.edu/practice/mental_subtraction_positive_eventsToday's guests:Stephanie Foo is a radio producer and author of the book What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma.Learn more about Stephanie and her book: https://www.stephaniefoo.me/Follow Stephanie on Twitter: https://twitter.com/imontheradioFollow Stephanie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foofoofoo/Follow Stephanie on Facebook:https://tinyurl.com/yx6pwdnfErnst Bohlmeijer is a psychology professor who studies gratitude at the University of Twente in The Netherlands.Learn more about Ernst and his work: https://tinyurl.com/2p92p6vnScience of Happiness Episodes like this one: Four Great Gratitude Strategies: https://tinyurl.com/2p9buvkd Tips for Keeping a Gratitude Journal: https://tinyurl.com/3jdbe52u Five Science-Backed Strategies for More Happiness: https://tinyurl.com/bd4ussjt Transcript: https://tinyurl.com/4r84778r

Lamentations 3:19-23

Episode #195: Crush Limiting Beliefs And Find Joy Within Join us today as Colleen Interview's Coleen Greco on Take the Leap. We dive deep into the essence of joy and as we approach our milestone 200th episode, I couldn't think of a better topic to explore than joy—something we all strive for but often find elusive. Here are three key takeaways from our enlightening conversation that I believe can inspire you on your journey: Joy vs. Happiness: Colleen beautifully articulates the difference between joy and happiness. While happiness is often a fleeting emotion tied to external circumstances, joy is a deeper, more enduring state of being that comes from within. It's about cultivating a mindset that allows us to find joy in the smallest moments, regardless of our external situations. This distinction is crucial for anyone looking to enhance their emotional well-being. The SNAP Method: Colleen introduced us to her transformative SNAP method, which stands for Stop, Notice, Accept (or Analyze), and Practice Gratitude. This powerful framework helps us confront our limiting beliefs and emotional triggers. By stopping to acknowledge our feelings, noticing the patterns, analyzing the facts versus our perceptions, and practicing gratitude, we can shift our mindset and open ourselves up to greater abundance and joy. It's a practical tool that anyone can implement in their daily lives! The Power of Community: One of the most poignant moments in our discussion was the emphasis on community. Colleen shared her personal story of how her son's struggles with bullying and a suicide attempt highlighted the importance of having a supportive network. When we feel isolated, it can be easy to spiral into negative thoughts. Building and nurturing a community around us can provide the love and support we need to navigate life's challenges and rediscover joy.

Often, when I coach a client, we begin the session with three breaths. These breaths are meant to align our rhythms and heartbeats, and to allow us, as individuals, to release anything that happened before we came together. The words I use while we inhale and exhale together may vary. Sometimes I'll say, "Let's take a nourishing breath," or "Let's take a grounding breath," or even "Let's take a restorative breath." These words change based on what I sense in the moment, but I love the idea of taking three breaths because it centers me and connects me with my client. It also sets the intention to be fully present and hold a safe space for one another.  I always appreciate that clients respond positively to this practice. They might be rushing to meet with me or dealing with something that happened earlier, so this moment of breathing gives them time to regroup. In addition, if my client is going through a big life transition or something heavy, another practice I may incorporate into our conversation is a practice of gratitude. On today's Wise Walk, I thought we could slow down, check our reality, and ask ourselves these questions: Do you have a daily practice where you slow down, connect with your breath, and practice gratitude? Can you start to incorporate a practice of gratitude to help you move through life's heavy moments? As you look at your day, or you look at the coming weeks, is there anything that you have anxiety about?  Is there anything that feels a bit heavy for you?  What can you do to incorporate a practice of gratitude to help you move through transitions with a little bit more inner peace? What are some ways you can practice gratitude on a daily basis? Do you journal? What am I grateful for at this moment?  Would you rather practice gratitude in the morning? Do you have a cup of coffee and just allow yourself to be present in the moment?  Can you put where you feel aligned and blessed into words? Can you hold that sentiment in your heart to practice gratitude in whatever way feels aligned for you? Do you have what you need? What is really supporting you?  Who is in your life that you feel grateful for? Can you tell them? What are some of the things that you experienced today that you feel grateful for? What are some things that you're looking forward to that are going to support you on your journey? I am so grateful for each and every one of you. You continue to surprise and delight me. I received some great feedback from the last episode, and I'll be reflecting more on it. So, thank you again. I'm also feeling thankful that my power is back on! I will hold you in my heart as I practice gratitude daily, and I look forward to our next conversation on Thursday. Please join me again for next week's Wise Walk. Until then, be sure to practice gratitude, prioritize fun, read the signs, direct your path, and get your stride.   In this episode: [04:53] This past week, Florida, and a lot of different states, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and some parts of Tennessee, were impacted by Hurricane Helene. [05:17] It was intense with a lot of stress and emotions. [06:01] I live in Northern Florida so I wasn't directly in the path, but we still experienced high winds, tornado warnings and lost power. [06:40] Practicing gratitude really helped me take the storm in stride. I know I am very blessed. Practicing gratitude helped me feel all the positives that I had in that moment, and that I could take that with me wherever I went. [08:11] Everything is relative. "The miracle of gratitude is that it shifts your perception to such an extent that it changes the world you see." - Dr. Robert Holden [11:48] Practicing gratitude has multiple health benefits from boosting your immune system, increasing red blood cells, and even decreasing stress. [12:50] Practicing gratitude can even help reduce pain and depression. [14:08] A lot of times we pay attention to what's not going right. If we can flip that script things will go better for us. [14:45] A grateful mind is a great mind.   Memorable Quotes: “I love this idea of my clients taking three breaths, just because it centers them in the moment, it connects them with their breath.” - Mary Tess “Mother nature, who is unpredictable, and strong, and beautiful, but can also be destructive in different ways, so we have to adjust to the elements.” - Mary Tess “Practicing gratitude really helped, ground and center me in this moment of changing my perspective and helping me move through the heaviness.” - Mary Tess “Practicing gratitude helps reinforce our brain's ability to get to a place of gratitude easier, and reconnect or revisit those emotional experiences that elevate us and boost us.” - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Heart Value

If you're feeling overwhelmed by productivity pressures, stuck in endless meetings, or managing a team under constant stress, the problem may not be what you think.What if the root cause of your unhappiness isn't your workload, hours, or even your boss, but rather the neglect of some fundamental, non-negotiable principles in your career?In this episode, your host, Lona Small, career success coach, dives into "10 Non-Negotiables" that could be the hidden reasons behind your unhappiness at work.

Whether it's streamlining daily tasks or contributing to large-scale projects, your voice and ideas should be heard. If you're not given a seat at the table, it may be time to speak up or look for opportunities elsewhere.2.Is My Role Providing Me with Purpose and a Sense of Meaning?Purpose is a powerful driver of job satisfaction. Are you able to see the impact of your work on patient outcomes or lab efficiency? If not, consider finding ways to connect your daily tasks with a bigger picture that resonates with your values.3.Am I Continuously Growing and Learning in My Current Role?Career satisfaction requires continuous growth. Are you gaining new skills and facing fresh challenges? If you feel stagnated, push for new opportunities—whether leading cross-functional projects or earning additional certifications.4.Am I Valued and Recognized for the Contributions I Make?Feeling valued is crucial to feeling fulfilled at work.

Are there times when you've achieved massive career success yet still felt profoundly unfulfilled and numb inside?It took hitting a breaking point for John to realise he was ruthlessly chasing professional glory and neglecting the most important things in his life.In this continuation of host Boo's interview with John Miles, they revisit John's transformative journey from an unsatisfied executive to a "passionstruck" evangelist for intentional living.

Don't Define Yourself by Career Success Alone - While professional achievements can be rewarding, true fulfilment comes from nurturing meaningful relationships, taking care of your physical and mental health, and finding purpose beyond just work.2. Rediscover Your Childhood Passions  - What activities did you love as a kid before "grown-up" responsibilities took over? Reconnect with those passions and step outside your comfort zone regularly.  3. Practice Gratitude, Help Others - Gain perspective by appreciating how fortunate you are compared to many others in the world. Count your blessings, but also pay it forward through volunteering, charitable giving, acts of service, etc.  4. Start Small to Overcome Inertia - Having big goals is great, but it's easy to get stuck in analysis paralysis.

Welcome to Episode 160! This week, I'm joined by Joyologist Coleen Greco to unpack the connection between our mindset and our codependency. Coleen shares with us about the common self-defeating thoughts that codependents have, for example, “I can never do anything right.” She shares the negative impact these self-defeating thoughts can have on us then provides ways we can begin to combat them. You'll hear Coleen share about the SNAP method and how it can be used to promote our healing from codependency. We also explore how changing our mindset can help bring more joy, self-care, and self-love in our lives. It's a must-listen!

This ‘something' can be another person, food, alcohol, etc. Coleen highlights how codependency ties into our ability, or inability, to be self-sufficient.  Coleen opens up about codependency in her own life, including how she was codependent with food and alcohol after her son's suicidal attempt. Coleen emphasizes how it started out so innocently, as do most codependent relationships, and then it led to dysfunction. She also recalls times when she has been codependent with her coaching clients where she went above and beyond when they weren't even committed to the process.  Coleen lists common self-defeating thoughts of codependents: I am not good enough, I will do this for others…in order to…, I am not worthy, I can never do anything right, and I don't have time for myself. In order to begin improving our mindset, Coleen emphasizes journaling.  In her work as a joyologist, Coleen helps bring joy to her clients lives which codependents often lack. She distinguishes how joy is based on internal validation and how we can have inner peace, know we are okay, and feel in control of our lives since we are rooted within.  Coleen walks us through the SNAP Method: Stop, Notice, Accept, and Practice Gratitude. She adds how the SNAP Method plus getting our nutrition in order, incorporating physical fitness, and addressing our mindset can help us have more joy, self-care, and self-love in our lives.  Thank you for coming on Coleen!
