Boldly Becoming with Baxbara

There’s a power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice. And there’s a grace in being willing to know and hear others. This, for me, is how we become. - Michelle Obama   Hey Besties! Today we’re talking about the power of representation and why sharing your voice matters. And let me tell you, I'm speaking from experience. I've had my own journey in taking up space and owning my power, and it's not always easy. But, guuurl, it's worth it.  See, everyone's voice has value, no matter who they are. And it takes hearing someone else's story to feel seen and heard -- that's why, to my mother's disdain 🤣, I often open up about my own traumas and experiences online.  So grab a cup of coffee (or wine, we won't judge), and get ready for some laughs and real talk!

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become." - Steve Jobs

What if I told you New Year's Resolutions aren't goals (to be failed), but promises you keep! In today's episode we dig into the "new year, new me" cliché through the lens of my resolutions for the year. 2023 is asking you to step up to the plate and make it your year, are you up for it? 

On the 'PodCouch' with me today I've got "Surfer Boy" Santana 🤣 and this is one FOR THE BOOKS. He touches on such hectic christian topics in the most laid back and easy to understand ways -- making me realize, maybe we are overthinking what God has called us to be in the world?   We’re on the road to 10 thousand subscribers 🫶🏾 — I’d love and appreciate you for sharing your favourite video on WhatsApp - thank you 🥹💗.   Otherwise follow all the FULL VISUAL podcast conversations on www.youtube.com/c/baxbara/join 😘x   If you enjoy this conversation, let us know on social media:   Instagram   Host - @baxbara Guest - @santana.dasilva Podcast - @thatsfunnypodcast    Sub Count: 9 029 Camera: Sony ZV-E10

Kuda and I sat down for a fun conversation around all things Holy Spirit and hearing from God.   For a lot of us, we’ve got dreams and visions for our lives but is that what God wants for us? In most cases, our desires and talents hint to the purpose God has for us — but can equally become the idol that causes our demise.    If you enjoy this conversation, let us know on social media:   Instagram   Host - @baxbara Guest - @kmachapu Podcast - @thatsfunnypodcast   Twitter #thatsfunnypodcast #brotober

The biggest excuse I gave was that "I don't have time", until I recognised that I was just complacently using that time to do OTHER things that didn't necessarily feed into my goals. Today we're going over 3 hard truths that I had to face before getting into action on an episode we're calling "Becoming Disciplined". While I may not be a professional at discipline, I definitely have made TONS of progress, and I really think you can too -- so tap in!

No one outside your head knows the exact battles you're fighting or how many early mornings you've dragged yourself out of bed, but that doesn't mean it goes unnoticed. You're trying your best and that should be good enough FOR YOU, because that dedication is adding up and your season of reward is creeping up! (Read Col 3:23 & Gal 6:12)If my little life has taught me anything it's that nothing lasts forever, not hardships, not high moments, not even relationships. So how do you continue to show up consistently in an inconsistent world/life? My 3 takeaways this past week:1. Take a break (and don't wait for permission)In an age where we can see the opinions of LITERALLY the whole world, it's so important to take a moment to recalibrate with your own, take time out to search yourself and ask (God) whether the direction you're speeding off into -- is indeed correct.If a surgeon cuts 1cm too deep or a pilot flies 1 degree off, the end result is dramatically different, and that's how I'm trying to steward my energy. In the right direction with the right amount of commitment.2. Practice GratitudeThis art of gratitude has helped keep me grounded in my most exciting seasons, because I understand the value of the opportunities I'm living in and in times of desperation or despondency it helps me lift my eyes off of what I don't have so I can maximise what I do have.Soon you'll come to realize what God has given you and the responsibility that comes with it. Then wake up everyday and ask yourself: How are you bringing heaven on earth with the gifts heaven sent you with?3. You'll have to tune into the @boldly.becoming podcast on Friday to get this point 🤣😉❤️.Thought Inspo 🌸Ecclesiastes 3 MSGRomans 12:1-2 MSG‬‬‭‭Colossians 3:22-25 MSG‬‬

In today's episode, and the spirit of Valentines, we'll dive deep into topics ranging from self-love and personal growth to navigating the complexities of modern dating and building lasting connections. Through candid conversations, expert insights, and real-life stories, I hope to inspire and guide you towards discovering the love you deserve.

Today we delve into the powerful art of self-worth and standing firmly in our value. Let's unravel the layers of people-pleasing behaviour, offering insights and key takeaways to help you embrace your intrinsic worth and reshape the dynamics of your relationships and endeavours. Discover the courage to set standards for how you deserve to be treated, valuing your worth unapologetically. Understand that being unafraid to walk away from situations, relationships, or opportunities that don't serve your best interests is a testament to your strength and self-respect. The key takeaways are clear and transformative: be unafraid to set the standard of how people should treat you or pay you, be unafraid to walk away from anything that doesn't serve you, and never betray yourself. These mantras are your compass on this journey towards self-empowerment, reminding you to honor your worth and prioritize your well-being in all aspects of your life.

We’ve all seen the “that girl” morning routines that consist of pink smoothies, avo on rye toast and a 7 step skincare routine that comprises of 90 different oils. While all of that is aspirational for a lot of us, myself included, is that an accurate display of EVERYDAY girl mornings ?

"Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. Better yet, redouble your efforts. Be energetic in your life of salvation, reverent and sensitive before God. That energy is God’s energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working at what will give him the most pleasure. Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I’ll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns." - Philippians 2 MSG @baxbara(a) on all social media platforms | email/inquiries: baxbara.inbox@gmail.com
