Not doing the thing you know you should in your business? Feel like you're always stuck in the same area when it comes to starting your business?

As we approach the end of one season and head into the next, this can create stress. Sometimes we may not even realize why. Many times, it's because we're so busy with life that we don't realize we need to take time to process our thoughts, make decisions, and know what we should be focusing on. This is what I call a Clarity Retreat and I've been doing it for years to help clear my head and see what I needed to focus on in my business and what I didn't.  In this episode, we're going to talk about what a Clarity Retreat is, why it's important to your business, and how you can have your own to have clarity and direction going into the new year.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do. 

Should we “craft a future” as Christians? This is a common phrase in the mindset space, especially in business, that you can create the future you want.  But as Christians, should we be doing that and if so, what does that look like?  In short: I don't believe that we are to craft our own future based on whatever we want but I also think it's more complicated than it sounds and not that linear.  Join me in this episode as we explore this concept of planning, having big plans and dreams for your business, letting God lead you and guide you, and how to think about this like a Christian entrepreneur.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.    ➡️New Freebie for You: Biblical Mindset Starter Guide for Entrepreneurs Stop letting emotions keep you from your calling.

Today we're talking about striving. We often hear this in the entrepreneur space, and it's often used synonymously with hustle but they're different. (see more in Episode 87 -Listen on Apple ) Striving is when we are working hard with the mentality that if this is going to be successful, then I'm going to make it happen. That the outcome is 100% tied to our effort and how badly we want this.  So I want to talk today about how striving can sneak up on us as entrepreneurs, the effects it can have on us, and how we can keep striving in check with a healthy level of ambition and perseverance.  I'm going to give 3 habits you can incorporate into your life as an entrepreneur that will keep your eyes focused on God and keep striving at bay.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.    ➡️New Freebie for You: Biblical Mindset Starter Guide for Entrepreneurs Stop letting emotions keep you from your calling.

Do you ever feel like you “have” to do business a certain way? Maybe you're feeling a lot of pressure to create a course or start a membership or a podcast but it's causing a lot of stress and overwhelm for you. Instead of just pushing through those emotions, I want to invite you to listen to those signals. Maybe the reason you're feeling so much resistance around it is because it's not what God is actually leading you to do. Or it could be, but you've got the negative mindset drama going on that's keeping you from sensing how God is moving in your business. Either way, I'm here to help you make sense of why there's so much resistance and overcome those feelings so you can have the clarity and confidence to move forward with your business calling.  In this episode, I  use 3 simple thought exercises to help you process through if the business you're creating (or have plans to create) is actually coming from what others have told you or is it where God is leading you.  Knowing the answer to this can save you so much time, effort, and money but more than that, it will give you the peace of mind needed to run a successful business as a Christian.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.    ➡️New Freebie for You: Biblical Mindset Starter Guide for Entrepreneurs Stop letting emotions keep you from your calling.

Can I really hear God? Does He actually speak to me? Isn't He too busy with everyone else?  Hearing God clearly is the one of the biggest things I hear from clients and friends alike, but it's especially prevalent in the Christian entrepreneur space.  And that makes sense. We are all navigating our journey as entrepreneurs and hearing God is central to that.  This Good Friday and Easter weekend, I felt led to share a word of encouragement from the crucifixion story that can be overlooked.  At the core, God wants a relationship with each of us and that includes being able to communicate with us.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.    ➡️New Freebie for You: Biblical Mindset Starter Guide for Entrepreneurs Stop letting emotions keep you from your calling.

Yes, you're called to business but you're also called to many other things; wife, mom, friend, to name a few. But inherent to being a woman, there is also a calling on your life.

Your calling is important. It's not just a fun idea but something God has put on your heart to serve and help others in a very specific way.  But often, we forget that it's that important. We can start believing the lies that we aren't called to this, this business idea didn't come from God or that no one cares.  So today, I want to encourage you to shift the way you see your calling and your business.  Changing the way you see your business and your mission will change how you show up for your business altogether.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.    ➡️New Freebie for You: Biblical Mindset Starter Guide for Entrepreneurs Stop letting emotions keep you from your calling.

I've been thinking a lot about the concept of overwhelm and wanted to share that with you. Hope and Healing are on the way. Also, I want to congratulate my trainer and friend, Stef Gass for reaching ONE MILLION downloads for her podcast. Wow! Your Neighbor,⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Tim P.S.

Do you want to WANT the Salad? Do you have any idea how to fuel your body?  Do you know how to honor your hunger signals? Do you bring God and your faith into your food choices?    So much yumminess in one interview and episode!! Back a few months ago, I released part one of this interview promising part two.  It was one of my first episodes and very first interview!  Then I released the bloopers earlier today just to show you that you can do hard things.   This is the rest of that interview and you're going to love it!  Stef Gass joins me for a strong candid conversation on food, faith and fitness!  Sister, you can find freedom in your own body, mind and spirit. Best part is…. I'll meet you right where you are! When you work out, is it bringing you JOY?  When you meal plan does it bring you PEACE?  Do you LOVE how you feel after you've fueled your body?  Stop doing a workout schedule you hate and not bringing you the results mentally or spiritually.  I could totally relate to Stef and working out just trying to get to a certain weight or look a certain way.  I've always enjoyed working out, but truth is I always took it to an extreme.   Counting every calorie in and every calorie out, obsessing over it and beating myself up when the scale never moved in my favor is for the BIRDS!!   Now that I've reached my goal weight and I have PEACE with food and LOVE how I feel in my body,  I now even have found JOY in working out by utilizing Revelation Wellness resources.   I couldn't be prouder or more excited that I'm now a Certified Revelation Wellness Instructor and Licensed Wellness Revelation Facilitator.   Adding these resources that only certified instructors and facilitators can offer to my existing clients and future clients is only going to make me a better coach and allow me to serve more women, helping them win their war on weight.     I'm so excited to announce the WEIGHT LOSS BATTLE PLAN course is now available! Imagine if you could honor God through your diet, your movement, and your daily habits and work through the process on your own timeline.  I believe the main reason we start and stop book studies or group programs before we are finished is because life gets in the way.   You miss one or two sessions, and you feel like you're behind and start to disconnect from the group.  You haven't done your homework and don't want to be embarrassed that once again you've not kept your own health and wellness a priority.         Together we will walk through this 8-module course on your terms.  The program is designed as a 9-week process and I'm going to encourage you to stay the course and finish on time. You'll have the opportunity to meet with me after you finish each week's work.  Together we will discuss your food plan and review your previous weeks food logs, discuss your homework, We will discuss your challenges and celebrate your success . You'll even have an opportunity to attend monthly group calls to experience community when you are ready!   With this program you are going to get NINE coaching calls that you can schedule on your own terms to give you the motivation and accountability you need to be successful.   If you stay on the course, you'll do those nine calls in 8 weeks.  But if life gets in the way… You get sick, go on vacation or you just had a bad week and didn't get your work done.  I'm allowing this timeline to be set between you and God.  He will walk you through at your pace and we will finish together.   I'm going to provide you with a book, video teachings to accompany your reading that you watch on your own time.  You'll also be provided a 60-day guided movement plan with step- by- step videos. You'll have food logs, sample meal plans and even some optional food solutions once we get deeper into the program.      YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH a deeper relationship with God, a clearer understanding of how you can honor God and yourself with your food and movement.  I bet you will have dropped many burdens, fears and hang ups that weigh you down.   So, if you are ready to marry your health, fitness, and spiritual life. This course is for you!   For a very limited time, I'm offering the course at a deeply discounted price to allow my friends, family, and clients to take advantage of this amazing resource as a gift for the holidays to experience PEACE, LOVE and JOY in their health! Let's kick off the holidays right! SIGN UP TODAY and START TODAY!  COUPON CODE:  2022HOLIDAY to get the introductory special price!

Have you ever felt like you have to sell your soul to social media in order to grow your platform? Or dreamed of what it might be like to sustain your biz while kissing social media goodbye? In this episode of the podcast, I talk with podcaster Stef Gass about what it takes to grow a business without social media. She shares vulnerably about her rise to network marketing success, her journey to hitting a rock bottom of sorts, and the way God used that challenging time to bring about a thriving business for Stef. She chats all about the ins and outs of creating a business by surrendering everything to God, and shares the importance of trusting Him with all aspects of your business. A major aspect Stef trusted God with in her business was removing social media from her business. While she still has a team member post weekly updates, she has completely removed herself from the process. Now Steff is passionate about exchanging the 1:1 platform usage of social media to a 1:many approach through podcasting. Throughout our conversation, she shares the depth and richness that podcasting can bring to a business and how it's not only possible, but is an essential way for business to grow and thrive. Her knowledge, insight, and lessons learned have proven Stef as an expert in the podcasting arena, and I am thrilled to share her tips and stories with you! She's certainly an inspiration for what your business could look like if you find yourself burnt out and tired of the social media hustle these days. Even if you're not, you're sure to find inspiration from her stories and ways of doing business! For the full show notes for this episode, head to estherlittlefield.com/95.

Again, thank you so much for your support of this podcast and reaching out to me and telling me how much this has helped you, whatever episode it is that you're tuning into. Speaker 1 (01:50): So I hope today's episode will be another one that's gonna give you some peace of mind and help you have some tips and tools for you to manage the Wild Ride that is raising kids in the digital world. But wanna give you a quick disclaimer before I start and that is that Kids on social media is always a risk. So I will give you some tips of things that I find helpful, but I give that to you as an educational place. I in no way want to make you think that by just doing these things, that you're gonna keep your kids safe. There's always a risk, it's always changing. And so therefore it is something that I believe you need to approach with a layered approach, which is something that I talk about in my course that I'm about to release and I just want you to take these tips. Speaker 1 (02:39): But don't take them as an end all Beall. It is always evolving and changing and there's always concern and those that are out there trying to get to our kiddos are savvy and they will find a way. So if your kids are on social media, just please be vigilant and please set up a village and a layered approach to how you're monitoring and what you're doing. So on that note, I also wanna say that as my kids have gotten older and we've gone through the major things that we have that have brought me to make this podcast and be really passionate about this topic and to always kind of, you know, be listening and being out there to bring information to you, I just wanna say how important it is now that my kids are older and I can look back on those years how important it is to be very vigilant and also to not rush the smartphone and the giving of social media in those early years. Speaker 1 (03:39): The years where parents are giving it unsuspecting and not realizing how much of an influence it is. And the reason I say that is because each one of our kids, if you've listened to my story, you know this, but my kids are about four years apart each and the oldest did not have the digital things emerge and be as pervasive in her life until she was up into the high school years. The next one had it younger and then the next one had it even younger. And so I had the unique perspective of seeing how pervasive and influential that could be. And I also believe that there's a difference in genders and I've got two girls and a boy so I do and did see that there was the influence was different for each one of them. And it's different on the different apps as well. Speaker 1 (04:25): And if I had, like I've said before, a magic time machine, I absolutely would go back and change the decisions that I made. But the influence that is there, especially now, it's so very insidious and I saw a post today that talked about if your child is doing this and believing this, take their phone and all social media and digital access away for a month and have them work on just being themself without that outside influence of all of the, you know, talks of the time right now. And see if they still believe that. And the sentiment of that post without saying the specific topic that it was talking about is that so many of these things are so pervasive in our kids' lives now that they have trouble knowing what they actually think and what they actually feel and what their passions are because they're spending their lives distracted and it's sucking them away from the normal childhood milestones and things that we may view as play and you know, as just things that they do as a kid. Speaker 1 (05:27): But they're truly things that are meant to be there to help them in the stepping stone that help them to form into the adult they are meant to be and find the passions and the interest and the things that they're good at, their gifts are being stunted because they are not being allowed to have those things. So one of the best decisions that we ever made with our youngest was to pull the phone and all social media away. And now that he is 17, it is amazing the respect that he has for those apps. And yes, I've allowed him to be back on Instagram and TikTok and Snapchat now, but for years he was not on those things and didn't want to be on those things. But at middle school age I did let him have those things and it was not a good influence. Speaker 1 (06:26): And same thing for the girls. So while I talk about privacy checkup and things that you can do for your kids, I do want to stress that despite the, you know, the stigma of being that mom, it eventually will be a place of strength for your kid when you stand your ground, when you be the mom and when you be that mom that is vigilant and concerned about these things with your kids, a kid you not, the moms that are not vigilant about these things probably have no clue the influence and they will likely crash and burn like I did with my family and I did things the hard way. So be that mom and be that mom that shares with your mom friends about the influences about the things that you're learning. Share this podcast if you can leave me a review on the podcast cuz that will help it to rank higher with all the podcast things you know, so that it will be pushed up as something that's recommended so that more moms can hear this and get the tools and the confidence that they need in order to stand their ground to be the parent and to be that mom that is there being vigilant and not just letting the digital pervasiveness of our society raise their child. Speaker 1 (07:49): Okay, so I hope I've probably overstated that a little bit, but I hope that makes sense because I do want to talk about the privacy checkup, but I also do not want to in any way make it seem like this is an end all Beall and I definitely don't want you to take your guard down and someone out there wanting to do some type of negative influence on your child to get to your child. So that being said, let's talk about a couple of different aspects that I think will be helpful for you. So the first thing is phone settings. So if you or your kid has a smartphone, you know it's always being updated by you know, Apple or Android. So when you have an update I encourage you to go into the settings, you know, go into the update and see what's actually being updated and then go into your settings and check, you know, for privacy and for tracking and for things like that I recently updated my iPhone and you go to the settings page and go to the privacy and security and there one of the big things is location services. Speaker 1 (08:57): So especially for your kid, click on that location services and look to see which apps are allowed to see where they are. And this is very, very huge in terms of Snapchat specifically, I would make sure that for Snapchat that is turned off and you can also do this in the Snapchat settings as well. But, so look at location services, scroll down and look at the different apps and see what they have access to. And then under, let's see, where's it at on the iPhone there's a safety check now where you can manage who has access to like your location and different things like if you shared your location and the maps, this is a place where you can remove that sharing your location type thing. So lots of different options there to be aware of. But you can go through under privacy and security and just look at all the different options. Speaker 1 (09:55): And you can even do an app privacy report, which basically will tell you, I just did this recently. It will record data and sensor access and then app and website network activity and the most contacted, uh, most frequently contacted domains. And then it gives you information on when your location was reported and how often it's been used, what domains have been accessed, those type of things. So lots of information there in the smartphone. Again, not an end all Beall, but one of the biggest things probably would be the location services to check. Okay, so now that you've looked at your phone or your kid's phone, the next thing is the social media. And each one of these is different and is always changing, but I'm just gonna talk about Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat because those are the most common that our kids are on. But for Instagram you can go to like when you're on your profile page or their profile page, click on the three little lines at the top and then go to settings and then go to privacy. Speaker 1 (11:03): And there you can make them a private account, you can limit post with certain words, cannot be seen. You can make it to where their stories cannot be remixed or made into reals or shared all of those things according to what your preferences are. And then below the privacy setting there is a supervision setting. And so this one you can actually supervise a teen that has Instagram. So you just follow the prompts and it will have you and the teen set that up to where you can supervise who they're interacting with, what they're posting, what they're doing. So that is a new option that I uh, hadn't seen before. Maybe it's been there for a little while cause I hadn't looked at that lately, but that's definitely something to check out if you do have a teen that is on Instagram. The other thing that you can do with Instagram that I did years ago was to have my teens log in as another account. Speaker 1 (11:58): So when you click on your name, if you don't have more than one account, you can add more than one account onto your Instagram app and then click on your name at the top and you can add an account and then you can toggle back and forth between their account and your account. So in that, with that you can see their messages and their posts and all that they're doing. You can check who their followers are, who they're following and all of that. So that is what I did when mine were younger and I was wanting to monitor what they were doing. Okay, so then the next thing that I wanna talk about is TikTok. And TikTok is, and at the end of this, I'm gonna tell you the biggest thing that is a hidden threat for all of these that I want you to be aware of if you're not already. Speaker 1 (12:43): But TikTok is one of those that I think is a very slippery slope and I actually don't recommend that you have a child that's younger on TikTok because of the thing that I'm gonna mention as a hidden threat in a moment. But if you do have a kiddo on TikTok, if you do choose to do that, if you go to hold on, go to profile, go to the three little lines at the top, go to settings and privacy and then you can go to security and log in. I don't think that's it. Hold on, let me see. There is a privacy section and then there is age related settings for users and it may be because I, it knows I'm an adult account, okay, privacy there. So you can make it a private account and you can turn off where your account's suggested to others, you can turn off comments, allow or not allow mentions and tags and direct messages. Speaker 1 (13:38): You can put who their, their story is shared with who can do it you, different things like that. So has all of those. And then there's also a TikTok for younger users that you can set up. However, I don't recommend that, I honestly don't. If that is something that you want to do, that is an option as well for TikTok. So both ig, TikTok and Snapchat location services is huge, huge, huge. Make sure that you check that in settings and that it's not something that they have turned on. Okay, so then the last one that I wanna talk about as far as social media goes is Snapchat. And I don't even know if I have Snapchat on my phone. Snapchat is confusing to me, I've never been able to understand it but I know it is where kids communicate, it's kind of crazy. Okay, so the things with Snapchat is when you're in the, you can go to the settings, which is the gear icon and I kid you not, I do not know how to operate Snapchat very well and usually when I, okay, if you click on the page or it looks like you're gonna take, gonna take a picture, click on the little profile on the upper left and then click on the gear icon upper right and then scroll down to the who can section. Speaker 1 (14:51): Okay? So if you scroll down to privacy controls, it looks like they changed some of the names on it, but go to privacy controls and you can put who can contact you, view the story, see my location, see me in quick add and then the family center. So highly, highly, highly recommend that you check that if you have a kiddo on Snapchat. There has been instances where predators have been able to actually go to kids' houses to meet up with them. Drug dealers use Snapchat to reach kids and sell them drugs. And there's a very prominent person out there and I can't remember what her name is, first name's Laura, but her son actually got drugs through Snapchat. They were laced with fentanyl or something to that effect and it actually killed him, but it was through Snapchat that he was able to get the drugs. Speaker 1 (15:41): So Snapchat is another one that's like a black hole and very, very important that you turn off the location services and be very much open with your kiddo and communication and all of that. Okay? They do also have something in Snapchat called the Snap Map and that's where you can share your location with others and that can be set to ghost mode. So I recommend that you make sure your kids is, is set to ghost mode on that so that they cannot be located anywhere. Okay, I was just gonna say something and now I forgot what it was. Okay, I don't remember what it was, but my biggest takeaway for all of these is private account versus public account, their location settings and then monitoring. Oh and now I remember what it was. Okay, so a lot of times what happens with parents, and I think I've mentioned this in a recent episode, but a lot of times what happens with parents when the kids are younger and you give them the phone is there, it becomes, there becomes this tug of war between you and it creates this feeling of distrust and kind of like, you know, you're snooping and trying to figure out what the kid's doing cuz they're not telling you the truth. Speaker 1 (16:49): And there's a period of time in there in those years, I mean I, I can talk about this to some degree now because my kids have gone, all three have gone through that and I can remember how you're like, ooh, I don't know if it's puberty in hormones that is causing this change in their demeanor or if something else is going on. But just wanna say number one, keep the lines of communication open. Number two, if you have given them some type of digital thing and suddenly their behavior changes, follow your gut instinct on that, pull that thing away and see if you can try to figure out what it is. When I look back and I see some of the most dramatic changes that happened with my kids, it almost always coincides with something digital that I gave them and that maybe I needed to pull that away or provide more boundaries around its use. Speaker 1 (17:40): So looking back, I realize that now, but back then in the thick of it, I didn't realize that. So that's just a tidbit that you might, a gut instinct that you might follow is if you've noticed a change in their behavior, pull away from the digital things, yes, you'll get pushed back. You'll probably be, you know, really made out to be the bad guy and you know you're mean or whatever, but just trust beyond this and follow your gut instinct. And then if you set up some type of monitoring like bark, I know there's other things out there. Bark is the one that I know of that is so passionate about helping parents and is so proactive, but also is a place where you can put their system in place and it helps you monitor without always being in their business. So it gives you a place where you don't have to be snooping and wondering what's going on and creating this push pull, you know what I mean? Speaker 1 (18:37): So it doesn't create this kind of like animosity between the parent and the child because what I have done with mine when we were really in the thick of things, I just pulled, like we tried to do the thing where you know, okay, well we're only gonna do this, this, and this. And things didn't get better, they just kept getting worse. So they'd get better for a little bit and then they'd get worse again. So when we were really in the thick of it, I just pulled the phone in digital access and social media accounts and everything, I pulled it away completely and we kept it away for like months. I'm serious, like six months or longer before I gave the phone back. Like it literally was at a point to where I was like, okay, I don't know what else to do, but we are pulling this away until we regroup and figure out what's going on. Speaker 1 (19:25): So when I did that and then really put my foot down on all that stuff, it took that draw that addiction away and then he had to kind of find his own interest and it was kind of like we like cleared this fog and all of a sudden the, the kid that we knew before was back again. It was like, oh my god, he's back. Like he had gone away and he was lost in this fog and he didn't know how to handle it. And so what we were seeing with behavior and decisions and all of that was him not knowing how to handle the digital influence and stimulation and addiction that was happening. And we didn't know that that's what's happening because we as parents didn't grow up with those digital things at that age. So while , I certainly didn't, wouldn't want to choose the hard road for us, I'm so very thankful that we could get through that and that we have a medium like this, like this podcast that I can bring this out to people in the world. Speaker 1 (20:23): So I hope, hope, hope that this is helpful for you today to just kind of hear this and hear this from my heart. I always have to put a kind of a shade of, you know, not telling all the things for privacy of my children, but they know I do this podcast and they are very happy about the information that I share and they're all healthy and thriving and it's just amazing. But for whatever reason, the hard parts were a part of our story, but thankfully nothing tragic happened in our life. We were close, we were super really close. We were at a crossroads of, of a point where we might not have come back from it in certain aspects. So I know some people out there like that, Dr. Laura, that I mentioned, that her son got drugs on Snapchat and took them, they were laced with fentanyl and he died. Speaker 1 (21:17): Some are not as fortunate as we were to, you know, I followed my gut even when my husband was like, No, I don't think that's what's going on. I'm like, Oh no, something's going on. Like something is going on and I have to listen to this right now. And I was right. So thank goodness I followed my gut and for whatever reason this was our path and I absolutely love bringing this information to you. So I hope it's helpful. Now the last thing that I wanna mention is what I mentioned earlier about the hidden threat regarding all of these apps that I mentioned. And that is the popup targeted ads. I don't know how many parents I've talked to that have brought this up. And regardless of your settings, regardless of putting like their age and you know that you want this supervised option and this and that, the popup ads pop up on all the devices and they're often, or you know, a lot of times inappropriate showing pornography, showing words you may not want them to know, showing different things that they click on and it sends them down rabbit holes. Speaker 1 (22:27): TikTok, I for sure know, does it Snapchat? I for sure know, does it? I don't think Instagram's is bad, but I do think that they do have things that they target for kids. So like I said at the beginning, this is a way for you to do a privacy checkup if you do have kids on these apps. But do not let your guard down. Make sure that you have some type of layered approach in place. Get my Be That Mom Movement Method course as soon as it launches to give you some more tools and tips, more in depth guidance on these things. But just be aware that there's often those popup targeted ads and things that are inappropriate and that will often be the catalyst for clicking on things and going down and getting, you know, getting curious as kids do and going down rabbit holes that ends up exposing them to things that you may not have wanted them exposed to. Speaker 1 (23:21): So definitely be aware of that. Okay, so I hope you found this episode super, super helpful. I was gonna split it up into a couple of episodes, but decided to just give all the information now. So I hope you found it helpful. I hope that you have been using Bark. You can use my code, Be that mom for a discount. If you do not wanna go the social media and smartphone route, which I highly recommend being the way that you go until they're older, I would start with a pinwheel phone, Tru Me Phone, Gab, phone. They're younger. Use a gab, watch, you know, use a Tick Talk watch. One of those things. There's options out there. I wish I would've had them. So I think they are a gift to parents today as we're raising our kids in the digital world and trying to stay in touch.

So welcome back to the be that mom movement podcast. I'm so glad that you are here. Today's episode is gonna have some information that I really, really want you to hear. And if this does not apply to you, please share it with parents that may be in this situation because it actually really surprised me when I discovered it. Speaker 1 (01:35): And I just knew I had to make an episode today and get this out there to you as quickly as I could. So before I go into the content for today, just wanna say in full transparency that I am sitting in a hotel room right now, I honestly have a love, hate relationship with air conditioning units in hotel rooms. I'm usually too cold or too hot. And for this hotel stay I'm by myself. But if my husband was here, it would be even worse, cuz he likes it to be cold. And you know, at home I can't keep it cold because it, our electricity bill would be through the roof if we kept the house too cold. So when we're in a hotel room, he likes to keep it colder, but I've turned off the AC and ho I'm not gonna have any other background noise, but sometimes there is a loud car that drives by that you can hear outside. Speaker 1 (02:23): So if there is any background noise that you hear apologize for that, but this content is something that I wanted to get out to you. I am flying home tomorrow. And so I figured if I didn't record this today, it will probably be at least a couple of days before I get it recorded. And this information is something that every parent needs to know about. So what I wanna talk about is being able to access pornography through a smart watch. And the one that I tested because the one that I have is an apple watch and it was mind blowing when I saw that I could pull it up so very easily. I did not know that the apple watch had that capability. And if you're like me, not real tech savvy. So that's why giving kids the things is sometimes major challenging for parents like me and maybe you, because they are tech savvy and they are growing up with this capability. Speaker 1 (03:22): And so they are able to navigate this very quickly. And then the other thing is that when I saw a post about this and I was like, okay, I gotta figure out if I can really do this on my apple watch, I Googled it. And of course there's a website out there that tells you exactly how to get an internet connection on your apple watch and pull up a webpage. So it took me all of two seconds to do that. And then I followed those instructions. And before you know it, I was accessing pornography on my apple watch. Unbelievable. So the reason I bring this up is because this is something I recommend in might be that mom movement method toolkit that I'm getting ready to publish as an a very good first step is to start with a watch or a now I can't forget what they call, but they're like a little walkie talkie type device as a first step to stay connected with your kiddo when they are going to be away from you and not having to give them a phone that opens them up to all of the digital things and so many more struggles or like tugs of war with them in terms of how addictive the phones are and how much they can suck you in. Speaker 1 (04:33): You know, of course, giving a gab phone, a pinwheel phone, those type of things, and putting bark is certainly a good option as well. But if you have a younger kid that you're wanting to have a way to stay connected with them, a watch is a great, great option. And I see parents mention often that they're just gonna go ahead and give them an apple watch or, you know, give them one of the smart watches because it just makes more sense. They don't wanna do these other ones. Maybe the watches are a little bit too childlike looking for their kid or something like that. Well, this is a reason why I recommend that you definitely check out the watches that are available through those different options. And I'll go over those again in just a minute, but just to kind of hit this, the importance of this, they say that pornography is usually one or two clicks away for any child that is online. Speaker 1 (05:26): So regardless of what your feelings are about pornography studies have shown that kids exposed to it at younger ages, or just exposed to it in general, in the teen years that it can have an effect on them and the younger they are, the more of an effect it can have and also just creates a unrealistic idea of what sex is so highly recommend that you have some sort of layer or plan or filter something that limits what sites they're allowed to go to if they are allowed to go online by themselves, because it is a slippery slope and it's kind of a black hole. And if you have ever raised kids, through the middle school years, especially boys, one of them will hear about it. And before you know it, they're sending the link to everybody and before you know, it they're all looking at it. Speaker 1 (06:24): They're all curious and curious, killed the cat when it comes to a child that is growing up, you know, and learning like curiosity is completely normal for them, but with the digital things that their fingertips so readily, it can be so dangerous. And so what do I wanna say, like impairing on their development, stunting their mental development and possibly causing trauma by the things that they see. So what I found out today is that you can send a link to your watch by sending a text with the link to yourself, or having someone else send it to you or sending yourself an email with the link. So if you try to do this, you know, pull up, I didn't know any porn site except for I heard of porn hub. So I sent that to myself in a text and pulled that up immediately on my watch. Speaker 1 (07:23): I couldn't figure out how to do it from my watch. It had to be sent to my watch. And I tried to look for like a internet app, those type of things. And there isn't one that I could find. And according to the, the website that I found that had instructions on how to do this, there isn't an app for internet connection, but if you send a link, it opens up a hidden safari page. And then with that, it will open up whatever website it is that has been sent to you. So very, very important information to know if you have a kiddo that has a smart watch, I'm assuming the other smart watches out there are similar. Now the article or the social media posts that I saw about this, I forget what company was posting about it, but they said that they talked to apple. Speaker 1 (08:14): They called them and just acted as a curious parent. And they said that you can set up some type of firewall type thing in the screen time, parental controls. But when they tried to do it, they couldn't figure out how to block it that way. So it's possible that there's a way to block it or filter it through the parental controls also might be possible to put bark. You know, if you have bark on their phone, that might be able to monitor like them sending the text bark might pick up on the text and let you know that they sent this text that had porn in the link or something to that effect. So those are two things that could pick it up. If you're in the situation where you already have given them a smart watch, but I'm not one to say that, pull it all away and , you know, shut the world down and all of that, unless you're in an extreme situation and you need to regroup, you need to detox. Speaker 1 (09:14): There is a place for that. I did that with my own child and it was the best thing we did at the time, but it wasn't before we tried multiple things of communication talking, trying to, you know, kind of reroute things. And when we realized that wasn't working and things were really, really going south very quickly in that we were on the brink of a crossroads, that we weren't gonna be able to come back from easily involving much more than anything like pornography. We did pull back. We did cut off completely from all digital things and made very extreme actions in order to regroup detox, figure out what in the world was going on. But I don't think that that's necessarily always what you need to do. So I wouldn't panic yank the watch away and, you know, go run in whatever, but, you know, use your own judgment, your kid's personality and their temperament and all of that. Speaker 1 (10:10): But this is just knowledge for you to know of and for you to figure out how to move forward with us. But if you have not given a watch or if, you know, young moms that maybe in this situation soon where they're wanting to give a watch, I do wanna tell you that the watches that I know of that get the best reviews is the gab watch. And you can go to G wireless.com or use the link in my show notes. And there is a discount code. My discount codes be that mom, and that will give you a discount on that G watch. And then I don't see that pinwheel has a watch. I was looking, but it looks like the only thing they have right now is the phone. Now the tick talk watch. So T I C K T a L K, is the watch that I hear about as the one that most moms love. Speaker 1 (11:06): The, the one that most rave about is the tick talk watch for younger kids. And it comes like in a little case. So it's protected in all of that, but those are the ones that I would recommend. And I do have a discount code for the TikTok watch as well. I do recommend checking those out and starting with one of those. If you're going to do the watch route versus giving the smart watch in having the slippery slope of so many little caveats that you may not be able to monitor certainly is something that I think bar would probably potentially catch, but probably can't guarantee it. And that tends to be the case with apple, with most things. So that's why they say that apple or iPhones, aren't the best first phone for kids because they're not as easily monitored. I did give my kids an apple phone to start. Speaker 1 (12:01): And if I did it over again, my attitude at that time was, well, we have apple phones. It'll just be easier for us to all have apple phones. If I had it to do over again, I probably would start with an Android phone. One that I could monitor more and have very strict rules, all the things that I'm gonna share and might be that mom movement, method toolkit, and course so definitely recommend you check those things out and pass that along to young moms that may be approaching this as well as access it for yourself. If you are needing more guidance with this and resources and all the things to pivot and all of that because I know there is oftentimes a lot of pivots and it's different for each kiddo since I've raised three and each one was completely different on this path. Speaker 1 (12:44): So check out those options for watches, if you're in need of that. And definitely if you are in the place of already having, given a smart watch, explore this and see what, you know, the capabilities are on the watch that they have and keep the lines of communication open with your kiddo. And, you know, just decide what you think is best for you and your kid going forward. But I did wanna get this out to you because I could not believe it. I was sitting I'm in Boise, Idaho and was attending a conference. And as the conference was ending today and I was putting my stuff away, I was like, okay, I'm gonna go back to hotel room and record this podcast. And I sat down and tried to figure out how to send it, sent it. And so I am sitting there in the middle of the conference with pornography, playing on my smart watch. Speaker 1 (13:36): Not that it had any sound, but I just could not believe what I was seeing. And it wasn't even just like anything mild, like the website pulled up and there's, I just scrolled. And there's all these people having sex all up and down as I scrolled. So yeah. Crazy stuff, definitely something I wanted you to know about. So please reach out to me. If you have any questions, please check out my show notes for all my links and all the discount codes that I have and keep your eye out for my course, that's coming out soon. That's gonna be your toolkit, your roadmap, a place for you to start and a place for you to pivot and figure out what to do next on your path to being that mom. All right. Have a great day.

Hi friend! In today's episode, I am having a conversation with my dear friend and coach Stef Gass from The Stefanie Gass Show. Stef is amazing! This episode was first aired on Stef's show, but I felt it was an important conversation for you to hear as well.  We go deep into why and how shame can keep us stuck and not moving forward in some areas of our life. Shame and regret are huge underlying reasons that hold us back in life.  We both dive into our past a bit and how we can find healing from shame around traumatic things done to us, and the things we have done as well.  I pray this blesses you and that you know, no matter where you are right now in life—you are not alone and you will get through this season!

Hi my friend! This week we have 2 back-to-back episodes. Both are with my coach and dear friend Stef Gass from The Stefanie Gass Show. Stef has been a guiding light for me with this Podcast journey, and she is one awesome real human being. She's been through so much in her own life and has much wisdom to share with all of us.  The episode coming out tomorrow--Episode 46, we dive deep into the things from our past that hold us back and how to walk with more freedom in our day to day life. That episode actually aired on her show a few weeks ago, but I felt like it was an important conversation for my people to hear as well. I'm so honest and vulnerable in that episode about specific things that held me captive for a very long time. I'm so grateful we can walk uninhibited in life and there's so much inner healing available to us all. You are not alone and remember, healing and finding that freedom can be such a journey and process.  In today's episode we dive into an aspect of our purpose and calling, and how to move forward with the things we long to do. Stef has a God given insight about her, that I know you'll love. :) Wherever you are on your journey, I hope you find these episodes encouraging and helpful. You are not alone, and I am cheering for you.  So much love & gratitude, Dani Need a step-by-step Framework for Spiritual growth in any season?

Hello my friend!  Today's episode was prompted by a conversation I had last week with my friend and Podcast Coach, Stef Gass. Stef's amazing! We had the best conversation about things that keep us from living up to our full potential. We talked about roadblocks like shame and anxiety. Today, I unpacked my process a bit and I share openly about things that I had to work through, things that haunted me for so long—like sexual abuse and infidelity decades ago before I was married.  I've been reflecting all week, and I am sooo grateful how far God has brought me! I used to be riddled with shame and angst about so much. My life and inner world is so much more peaceful now! :)  The 3 steps I mention are: Intentionally acknowledging that we are NOT defined by the things that have been done to us, or things that we have done. — HOWEVER, in the same breath, acknowledge that those things do impact us. *To deny the impact, denies our experience, and can be harmful to our healing. You have permission to process and grieve whatever loss or the impact of your experience in your life. Don't buy into the belief (lie) that you're the ‘only one' who has experienced this situation, OR that you are too far gone or there's no hope. Buying into that belief/lie, leads us to isolation and despair, a very dangerous combo. So grateful to be with you on this Spiritual inner healing journey!  Other Episode Mentioned: Conversations w/ Therapist Jim Beebe--"Finding Peace When Your World Is Not Peaceful" & Accepting Life on Life's Terms Enjoy today's episode and if you need prayer, please email us at hello@danisumner.com , you are not alone.
