Dammy shares how a mentor helped her embrace her purpose and align with God's word to know her identity. With a focus on personal and spiritual growth, Dammy shares the importance of trusting in God's word and aligning with kingdom principles to unlock divine blessings in both personal and professional life. Tune in for an inspiring story of faith, personal development, and the power of seeing God's promises manifest in your life.Key Takeaways:Overcoming Limiting Beliefs – Past negative experiences can shape your view of self, limiting your confidence. Address these beliefs at the root,  so they don’t limit your potential. Personal Development: Be, Do, Have – Personal development is about becoming the best version of yourself. When you focus on who you are and grow personally, you can do more and ultimately have and experience more. Sowing the Right Seeds – Be intentional about what you allow to grow in your mind and heart. If you feed your mind with truth, your life will reflect that. God's Provision and Support – As you step into the purpose God has for you, expect His provision. When you trust Him, He opens doors and provides everything you need to fulfill the dreams He places in your heart.Kingdom Mindset – The Kingdom of God is about living according to His original design for the earth. By aligning with kingdom principles, we bring heaven to earth. You Have Dominion – God has given you everything you need to succeed. Just like He gave Adam dominion over the earth, He gives you the authority to name and claim your opportunities. Believe in your ability to succeed because God is backing you.Luxury State of Mind 1:1 Coaching Program:https://luxurystateofmind.com/coaching/Recommended Links: Time on Your Terms Workbook: https://luxury-state-of-mind.kit.com/products/time-on-your-terms-workbookAbout Dammy Saint ClaireDammy Saint Clair is a trichologist and black hair care expert helping women tackle hair loss and scalp issues.

The journey may be challenging, but the rewards that come with stepping out on faith are worth every bit of uncertainty.In this episode, I’m reflecting on Q1 at the park—sharing wins, lessons, and what kept me grounded. From launching Time on Your Terms to hosting my first in-person event, this season has been my most productive yet. And I want to remind you: with intention and faith, this year can look nothing like your last.Key Takeaways:Setting Clear Intentions – Setting clear intentions is crucial when pursuing a goal. A simple commitment can drive you forward, even without any immediate resources or plans. When you set a bold intention, your actions will follow, propelling you toward success.Faith and Trust in the Process – Faith in the process is essential when resources seem scarce. Sometimes, stepping out and trying new avenues leads to unexpected breakthroughs. The Power of Community and Support – The support of others can make all the difference. When you commit to your dreams, the right people will come alongside you to help bring them to fruition.Success Beyond Expectations – The final result can exceed expectations. What starts as a small goal can grow into something much bigger, showing that bold actions and trust in the process can lead to extraordinary outcomes.Timestamps:(00:00:32) Welcome to the Luxury State of Mind Podcast(00:03:59) Time on Your Terms(00:05:29) Balancing life, work, and passion projects(00:07:06) Vision fuels productivity(00:09:19) Manifesting my first  in-person event(00:13:28) When discouragement meets divine timing (00:16:35) Divine provision through people(00:18:33) Exceeding expectations(00:20:40) Exclusive MAC Masterclass Announcement(00:23:40)  Learning to love more(00:26:11) Intention unlocks opportunity(00:29:05) Advanced Leadership Training (00:30:01) Living a quality-driven life(00:31:01) Choosing who you want to be(00:32:31) Commitment to be courageous(00:35:01) Improving workflow to avoid burnout(00:36:32) Set intentions for Q2Key Words:Turning Vision into RealityTrusting the ProcessTaking Bold StepsUnexpected BreakthroughsManifesting OpportunitiesLuxury State of Mind 1:1 Coaching Program:https://luxurystateofmind.com/coaching/Recommended Links: Join the Email Listhttps://luxury-state-of-mind.kit.com/f0a33807cfConnect with Dammy: Visit https://luxurystateofmind.com/ to book Dammy for a speaking event or to learn more about luxury living.Listen to Luxury State of Mind Listen on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/luxury-state-of-mind-conversations-on-mindset/id1137415479Listen on Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/luxurystateofmindListen on YouTube: @luxurystateofmind  Follow Luxury State of Mind on Social MediaTiktok: luxurystateofmindshow  Instagram: luxstateofmindshow  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@LuxuryStateofMind?sub_confirmation=1

It is the freedom to live unshackled by the need for approval, to embrace what makes one unique, and to walk confidently in personal truth. It is the realization that self-worth isn’t measured by accolades or external validation but by the courage to simply exist as originally created.In this episode, I'm sharing my talk from a special Valentine's Day collaboration with Jo Malone London. This event was all about incorporating luxury into everyday life, and I had the opportunity to speak about redefining luxury as authenticity—living in a way that aligns with who you truly are. If you've ever felt like luxury is out of reach, this conversation will challenge that perspective. Tune in to experience the event, hear my personal journey, and discover how to cultivate a luxury state of mind, no matter where you are.Key Takeaways:True Luxury Is Authenticity - Chasing material things means little if you feel empty inside. True luxury is being at peace with who you are, aligning your life with your values, and letting your light shine. When you show up as your truest self, you not only enrich your own life but also inspire those around you.The Power of Authenticity - Many spend years chasing an idea of success that doesn’t truly reflect who they are. The pressure to fit in can lead to frustration and self-doubt. But something powerful happens when authenticity takes priority. True luxury isn’t found in comparison or approval—it’s in the freedom to live as the truest version of oneselTimestamps:(00:00:00) Introducing the Time on Your Terms Workbook(00:01:58) Welcome to the Luxury State of Mind Podcast(00:02:33) Jo Malone x Luxury State of Mind Valentine’s event.(00:05:20) What do you define as luxury? (00:07:24) The cost of inauthenticity(00:08:53) The weight of feeling ‘Not Enough’(00:10:54) The moment I chose to be me(00:13:25) How I built, abandoned, and rediscovered my path(00:17:04) Started a fashion blog that brought joy(00:19:01) Struggling with being multifaceted(00:20:30) Harder is better(00:21:22) The mistake of ignoring your desires and gifts(00:24:11) When hard work doesn’t pay off(00:26:00) Do things that represents you(00:27:04) Create time to think(00:27:35)  Be intentional(00:28:15) Love yourself as you are(00:29:21) Listen to Luxury State of Mind on all platforms!Key Words:Live AuthenticallyTrue LuxuryEmbracing Your GiftsLuxury State of Mind 1:1 Coaching Program:https://luxurystateofmind.com/coaching/Recommended Links: Time on Your Terms Workbook: https://luxury-state-of-mind.kit.com/products/time-on-your-terms-workbookConnect with Dammy: Visit https://luxurystateofmind.com/ to book Dammy for a speaking event or to learn more about luxury livingI want to celebrate you as you celebrate the moves you're making to live a life that's fulfilling to you.

Master your time and create a life that aligns with your values! Get my Time on Your Terms workbook today at https://luxury-state-of-mind.kit.com/products/time-on-your-terms-workbook__________________________________________________________________________Many people want more time, but few take ownership of how they use it. Time management isn’t about doing more—it’s about aligning your time with what truly matters. No amount of planners, morning routines, or productivity hacks will fix a schedule filled with things that don’t serve you.If busyness isn’t leading to progress, the issue isn’t time—it’s how it’s spent. Are you investing in growth and fulfillment or just staying busy? Real change begins when you stop seeing time as something to manage and start seeing it as something to design. The goal isn’t to squeeze in more obligations—it’s to clear space for what moves you forward. Productivity without purpose is just motion without meaning.Choosing where your time goes requires courage. It means letting go of commitments that no longer align with your goals. It means saying no to distractions and excuses. It means recognizing that your schedule should serve you, not the other way around.Transformation doesn’t come from working harder—it comes from making better choices. You can either keep letting time slip through your fingers, or you can reclaim it. The choice is yours.In this episode, we’re rethinking time as a resource you can shape, not just manage. I introduce my five-step time management process, designed to help you create time on your terms. We’ll explore how shifting your mindset, prioritizing what truly matters, and breaking free from outdated productivity hacks can transform your approach to time. Tune in to learn the key steps to reclaim your schedule and design a life that works for you.Key Takeaways:Understand Where Your Time Goes - Before making changes, track how you currently spend your time. Instead of saying, “I don’t have time,” shift to asking, “Where is my time actually going?” This awareness helps you make better decisions about how to use your time effectively.Timestamps:(00:00:00) Introducing the Time on Your Terms Workbook(00:02:25) Welcome to the Luxury State of Mind Podcast(00:04:08) Authenticity is the best form of luxury(00:05:38) The Five-Step Time Management Process(00:07:29) Step 1: Auditing your time(00:08:20) Step 2: Create a vision for your time(00:11:51) Step 3: Prioritize what moves you forward(00:13:04) Step 4: Implement a sustainable plan (00:15:34) Step 5: Adjust & Improve(00:16:35) Time management skill building is a journey(00:18:27) Grab a copy of Time on Your Terms Workbook at https://luxury-state-of-mind.kit.com/products/time-on-your-terms-workbook. (00:20:28) Master these five stepsKey Words:Time management strategiesEffective time managementProductivity mindset shiftManage time effectivelyLuxury State of Mind 1:1 Coaching Program:https://luxurystateofmind.com/coaching/Recommended Links: Time on Your Terms Workbook: https://luxury-state-of-mind.kit.com/products/time-on-your-terms-workbookConnect with Dammy: Visit https://luxurystateofmind.com/ to book Dammy for a speaking event or to learn more about luxury livingI want to celebrate you as you celebrate the moves you're making to live a life that's fulfilling to you.

Get my Time on Your Terms workbook today at https://luxury-state-of-mind.kit.com/products/time-on-your-terms-workbookThink like a “Quitter” to build your dream life and finally make progress… what?In this episode, let’s discuss how quitting can empower you to be a skillful time manager and build your days through intentional living. You don’t quit life… you’re quitting the old stories you’ve told yourself about yourself that are hindering your ability to overcome distractions and guilt.Together, we’ll explore why a "quitting" mindset is essential for successfully managing your time. You'll learn how to stop pursuing unrealistic ideals (the "shoulda, coulda, woulda" mentality) and use the time you have effectively. This shift can help you become a more confident and self-assured woman. Who would have thought that quitting could lead to such freedom?Key Takeaways:Think Like A Quitter to Build Your Dream Life - It might sound strange, but sometimes, quitting is the best way to move forward. Not quitting on your dreams, but quitting the old version of yourself—the one that holds you back. Because if you want to step into the life you dream of, you have to release the habits, mindsets, and beliefs that no longer serve you.The Freedom of Clear Priorities and Purpose - Your time shapes your future. If you want a better life, start by managing your time with purpose. When you prioritize what truly matters, distractions lose their grip.Structure Creates Flexibility - Time management is not about strict schedules.  True mastery of time allows for flexibility. When you take control of your time with purpose, you gain the ability to pivot, adjust, and still move toward your goals.Keep Your Word to Yourself - Confidence isn’t about perfection—it’s about keeping your word to yourself. If you want to feel more self-assured, start by following through on what you say you will do, even if it’s messy.Timestamps:(00:00:00) Welcome to the Luxury State of Mind Podcast(00:00:54) You can live in luxury every single day(00:03:34) Quit to win(00:04:31) Step into the real you(00:06:02) Embrace your uniqueness(00:08:00) Make space for what you want(00:11:25) Evolve your identity(00:13:08) Why settle for consistent mediocrity(00:15:34) Submit to God’s will and trust His purpose.(00:17:54) Transformation demands a new mindset(00:20:47) Luxury-minded women don’t settle(00:22:41) Clarity on your goals(00:24:05) Elevate your standards through time management(00:25:24) Time management creates flexibility(00:27:05) Time management builds self-assurance(00:28:50) Confidence comes from keeping your word(00:31:46) Time on Your Terms Workbook helps you focus on what matters. Grab a copy at https://luxury-state-of-mind.kit.com/products/time-on-your-terms-workbook. (00:33:29) Ready to level up?

Get my Time on Your Terms workbook today at https://luxury-state-of-mind.kit.com/products/time-on-your-terms-workbook. 2025 is the year we’re committing to our transformation! The end of this year won’t look the same as the beginning, hello somebody! However, one of the major factors that will determine our success is how we manage our time.Today, we’ll break down 4 common myths about time management and how they could lead you to burnout. If you feel like you’re doing it all but still exhausted, this episode will help you shift your mindset and set you on the path toward the future you’re aiming for.Key Takeaways:Busting the "I Work Best Under Stress" Myth - Many people believe that working under pressure helps them perform better, but this myth needs to be tossed aside. Stress does not lead to better outcomes; instead, it leads to burnout and frustration. Retrain Your Brain for Ease, Not Stress - To live a stress-free, productive life, start by planning ahead instead of waiting for deadlines to pile up. Being productive isn’t about working harder under pressure; it’s about working smarter with peace of mind.Letting Go of the Strict Schedule Myth - The myth of needing a strict, hour-by-hour schedule can cause unnecessary stress. Instead, focus on prioritizing your top 1-3 tasks for the day. Quality over quantity is the key to productivity.The Myth of Waiting for Inspiration - Using inspiration as a guide for action can sometimes lead to inaction over time. Remember, relying on inspiration alone won't give you the results you desire. Instead, being intentional and taking action—even when you're not feeling inspired—will help you reach your goals faster.Timestamps:(00:00:00) Busy but unproductive?

Get the workbook: TIME ON YOUR TERMS: https://luxury-state-of-mind.kit.com/products/time-on-your-terms-workbookLuxury isn't always about material things—it’s about living in alignment with what truly matters to you. In 2024, I focused on making my life more authentic by aligning my actions with my values.

Pray with intention, seek His guidance, and align your heart with His will through scripture.

With a fresh new year on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to imagine the new possibilities that await us. So, as we enter 2025, let’s seek God, cherish our relationships, and embrace the unique paths He has laid out for us.In this episode, I share insights on how to embrace a lighter, more intentional approach to life in 2025. We discuss the importance of grounding our lives in biblical principles, the value of community, and how embracing our current season can bring clarity to what our next steps will be.Key Takeaways:Living by Biblical Principles in 2025 - People may think the Bible is just a set of rules or an ancient religious book. But for those who see life through a Kingdom-minded perspective, the Bible reveals God’s active principles that as we follow and obey them, we can live a fulfilling and fruitful life. The Gift of Community - Community is one of life’s greatest treasures and a source of strength and insight, providing the support and encouragement we often need but can't always find within ourselves. Embrace Your Season - It’s easy to go through the motions of life, feeling unfulfilled despite having what society says should make you happy. Therefore, paying attention to the season we are in is crucial for recognizing opportunities and making intentional changes.Stay Light - Life can feel overwhelming, especially when we're unsure of our direction, purpose or trying to force an outcome. It’s easy to spiral into self-doubt about our abilities. However, keeping an open hand by noticing unique talents and the skills we often overlook, can offer clarity and hope for the future. Timestamps:(00:00:00) Episode Snippet(00:00:58) Welcome to the Luxury State of Mind Podcast(00:07:47) Pay attention to Biblical principles(00:13:34) What does God want me to do?(00:15:47) How to apply a principle?(00:17:01) Know them by their fruits(00:20:08) God is with me (00:24:50) The secret of success in the Bible(00:27:30) Be a good steward(00:31:40) The value of community(00:35:49) Trust and believe your community(00:37:12) Pay attention to the season you are in(00:44:17) Pay attention to the little things(00:46:51) Stay close to God(00:49:20) Be light in 2025(00:51:53) How will you be preparing for next year? Key Words:Biblical PrinciplesCommunity MattersEmbracing PrinciplesMentioned Episode:Episode 8Episode 10Connect with Dammy: Visit luxurystateofmind.com to book Dammy for a speaking event or to learn more about luxury living I want to celebrate you as you celebrate the moves you're making to live a life that's fulfilling to you.

Get the workbook: TIME ON YOUR TERMS: https://luxury-state-of-mind.kit.com/products/time-on-your-terms-workbookHow do we create opportunities for ourselves despite feeling uncertain?I had always dreamed of going to medical school, but as life unfolded, I found myself drifting from that dream. I turned to my faith in Christ for guidance on how to move forward. That’s when the idea struck me—I would travel the world and speak professionally. It sounded wild, but it lit a spark within me.If you have a dream but don’t know how to achieve it, just remember that you won’t find the answers unless you take that first step forward.In this episode, I share a talk I gave at the University of South Florida. I focused on how to build confidence when life feels uncertain. You’ll hear about my adventures in different countries, the people I met, and how these experiences helped me grow confidence in myself and my gifts. I’ll share the ups and downs I experienced, the challenges that tested me, and how I found the courage to take one step after another.  I hope this episode inspires you to feel more confident, even in uncertainty.Key Takeaways:Using the Resources Available - Making dreams come true often requires resources, support, and a willingness to take risks. By being open to support, whether wisdom, financial assistance, or community, we can gather the tools we need to move forward.Don't Allow “How” to be Your Biggest Enemy - "Uncertainty can create doubt about how to move forward. However, it's important to understand that not knowing "how" is a natural part of the process. Instead of allowing uncertainty to become a barrier, we can view it as an opportunity to be open to creative solutions."Confidence Through Continuous Practice - Confidence is built through consistent practice and preparation. Embrace your talents, but don’t forget to hone them regularly. This way, when the next opportunity comes knocking, you’ll be ready to answer confidently and skillfully.Boldness Breeds Opportunity - Many people achieve their desires by having the courage to ask for them. Speaking up allows us to express our needs and take control of our lives. Meaningful Relationships Matter - One of the quickest ways to progress is by surrounding yourself with authentic and uplifting people, who can open doors and your mind to new possibilities. The company you keep, matters.Timestamps:(00:00:00) Episode Snippet(00:01:02) Welcome to the Luxury State of Mind Podcast(00:02:19) Lessons from My Talk at the University of South Florida(00:07:25) Four key questions for building confidence(00:09:51) The challenge of letting go of a dream(00:12:09) Celebrating the Luxury of Life(00:15:35) What's the craziest thing you could do?(00:16:53) Using the resources available to me(00:18:55) Don't allow “how” to be your biggest enemy (00:21:30) Consistent practice is key to seizing opportunities(00:24:24) The importance of asking for what you want (00:28:00) My frightening experience in Paris(00:30:10) Pain and confusion can lead to growth(00:32:47) Unexpected opportunities(00:34:25) Genuine connections lead to meaningful experiences(00:38:00) Resting is part of the process(00:40:01) Invitation to collaborateConnect with Dammy: Want me to speak at your next event?

It provides a space for people to connect, share their skills, and learn from each other. Through weekly competitions and challenges, members can push themselves to grow while gaining exposure to new opportunities.My focus was on empowering global talent  to embrace their unique talents and skills through the lens of the luxury state of mind concept. This approach encourages individuals to pursue authenticity and purpose in their lives, rather than merely conforming to external pressures.In this conversation, I had the opportunity to discuss how individuals can cultivate this mindset, particularly those who are multi-talented and multifaceted. I shared insights on how one can navigate the complexities of their unique skill sets and interests, recognizing that true fulfillment lies in living authentically.Key Takeaways:What is True Luxury? - Many people think that luxury means having fancy things but true luxury comes from being authentic and living with purpose. It means aligning your life with who you really are and what you truly want. Understanding Identity - When we think about identity, it becomes clear that it is at the heart of our existence. Knowing who we are is essential for living a meaningful life. The Importance of Intentional Living - Living intentionally is about making conscious choices that lead you closer to where you want to be. Remember, you don’t have to wait for the right moment to start. You can begin today. Finding Opportunity in Disappointment - When things seem bleak, there are always opportunities waiting to be discovered. By keeping an open mind and pursuing our dreams, we can turn challenges into stepping stones for success.Overcoming Fear of Judgment - When we allow the fear of judgment to dictate our actions, we may miss out on opportunities that could lead to personal growth and fulfillment.Timestamps:(00:00:00) Episode Snippet(00:01:00) Welcome to the Luxury State of Mind Podcast(00:02:51) An opportunity to speak for the Hailerz community(00:07:00) Who is Dammy Oshodi?(00:09:32) How Dammy transition from medicine to marketing(00:12:09) The Luxury State of Mind(00:13:39) Celebrating the Luxury of Life(00:17:42) Three Principles of Luxury of Mind(00:24:19) How Dammy thrives with diverse abilities(00:28:30) Explore your talents(00:30:12) Creating opportunities in tough times(00:32:45) Allow yourself to be free(00:36:14) How to balance your dreams(00:38:35) Living without regretsConnect with Dammy: Want me to speak at your next event?

Feeling stuck or afraid to start something new? You're not alone. Embracing something new could bring you joy, growth, and fulfillment. Don’t let fear rob you of everyday luxury and authenticity. In this episode, I will share six key strategies to overcome the fear of starting something new and embrace new opportunities in your life. We’ll explore how to recognize and tackle these fears, build confidence, and take actionable steps toward growth. Tune in to discover how stepping out of your comfort zone to try something new can enrich your life and make each day more authentically fulfilling. Key Takeaways: Facing the Fear of Starting Something New - The fear of starting something new often boils down to the fear of how others will perceive us, keeping us from taking steps toward our goals, by shifting our focus from external validation to personal growth, we can overcome these fears.   Assess Potential Gains - When you're unsure about starting something new, think about the benefits you might gain. Focusing on these benefits can help you overcome fear and make choices that support your growth and goals. The Power of Unpredictable Outcomes - Life's unpredictability means we cannot always foresee which choices will lead to success or how they will shape our future, by continually putting in effort and taking action, we increase our chances of moving forward and achieving a better life.  Willingness to Try - When facing something new, the most important thing is to be willing to try. Approach the experience with an open mind and accept it for what it is, not what you expect it to be. The Power of Clarity - Having clarity simplifies decision-making. When you know what you want, you can evaluate opportunities based on how well they align with your goals.  Is Fear a Sign to Stop? - When faced with new challenges, it is common to experience a sense of fear or unease. It is important to recognize that this discomfort does not necessarily indicate that we should abandon our pursuits. The Importance of Sharing Your Goals When you keep your plans to yourself, you might feel isolated and unsupported. Sharing your goals with others can make a big difference. By telling people what you are doing, you open up opportunities for them to offer help and encouragement.  Timestamps: (00:00:00) Episode Snippet (00:02:50) Starting something new (00:03:33) Month of August recap (00:08:12) The fear of making mistakes in public (00:09:13) The fear of what would happen (00:11:36) The leap into Ballet (00:15:12) Assess potential gains (00:16:29) You don’t know which action will push you forward (00:18:53) The principle of seed, time, and harvest (00:21:19) First Step: Be willing to try (00:22:47) Second Step: Understand what it takes to try something new (00:23:13) Celebrating luxury with Jocelyn (00:26:44) Understanding commitment and expectation (00:28:13) Finding clarity in decision making (00:30:07) Third Step: Outline your next step (00:31:45) Fourth Step: Calendar your goals (00:34:41) Fifth Step: Feel the fear and keep going (00:38:49) Sixth Step: Let others walk with you (00:40:33) Book Recommendation: Successful Women Think Differently (00:42:35) Recap: Six Ways to Overcome the Fear of Trying Something New Key Words: Moving beyond fear  Trying new things Fear of the unknown Mentioned Episode: Episode 8: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5PEnaiXSjfPEAwTpAB8CJb  I want to celebrate you as you celebrate the moves you're making to live a life that's fulfilling to you.

In this episode, I will share 5 key strategies to help you unlearn inauthenticity so you can start living a more authentic and fulfilling life. Tune in to discover how letting go of old ways, avoiding comparison, surrounding yourself with mentors, rethinking failure, and choosing a new narrative can transform your life. Key Takeaways: Repent for the Kingdom of God is at Hand - When individuals repent and seek God's purpose for their lives, they are not just turning away from sin; they are turning toward a new reality where their true identity can flourish.  The Paralyzing Power of Fear - Fear is a strong emotion that can push us away from our true purpose. Many people let fear control their choices, slow their progress, and keep them from living the life God wants for them. When we constantly live in fear, we stop taking risks, stop following our passions, and ultimately, stop living according to God's plan. The Ministry of Reconciliation - Our main purpose as believers is to help bring others back to God. Just as God brought us back to Him through Jesus Christ, we are now called to do the same for others. Christ's ambassadors, our mission is to use our lives, gifts, and talents to bring people back to God.  Overcoming the Trap of Comparison - Comparison is a powerful force that can shape how we perceive ourselves and our achievements. Therefore, if we are to live a life that feels authentic and fulfilling, it is crucial to set boundaries around comparison. Finding Your Community - Everyone has dreams and desires that may have been pushed aside by life's difficulties. One powerful way to unlearn inauthentic living and become your true self is to surround yourself with people who inspire you. Seeing others live their dreams and push boundaries opens your mind to new possibilities and shows that your dreams are valid and achievable. The Importance of Wise Counsel - Life is full of challenges, and navigating them alone can be overwhelming. While many people believe that they can handle everything by themselves, the truth is that we all need guidance from others. We need wise counsel from people who can help us grow, achieve our goals, and become the best version of ourselves.  Change Your Relationship with Failure - Changing your approach to failure is crucial for personal growth. Acknowledge your emotions, analyze what went wrong, gain insights, and adjust. Turn failure into a stepping stone toward success. Choose a New Narrative - Decide on who you will become, moving forward. Tell yourself a new story that will help inspire and push you towards fufillment. Sometimes the progress we desire begins when we make a decision. Notable Highlights: "Most of us get saved and we just think it's just for us because that is not the reason why Jesus died. He died to establish his kingdom here to reconcile us with the father."  "Our mission is to bring people back to God. Your life, gifts, and talents are all part of this mission, as you work with God to help others reconnect with Him."   I want to celebrate you as you celebrate the moves you're making to live a life that's fulfilling to you.

In this episode, I will share with you my journey of understanding and embracing one's true gifts, how ignoring these gifts can lead to dissatisfaction, and the profound impact this has on finding fulfillment and purpose in life. Tune in to discover how embracing your true gifts and passions can lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life. Key Takeaways: Ignoring Your Gifts: Ignoring one’s inherent gifts can lead to a sense of dissatisfaction. It’s essential to recognize and embrace your unique talents and strengths, as they are often the key to living a fulfilling and purpose-driven life. How the Need to Fit In Stifles Potential: The need to prove oneself can shape the trajectory of our lives, influencing decisions and behaviors in profound ways. However, the pursuit of validation can come at a significant cost, particularly when it causes us to overlook or even abandon our natural talents and passions. The Desire For Stability: Seeking stability and following a calling aren’t mutually exclusive but need careful balance. Stability offers comfort, but staying open to possibilities beyond conventional structures is important. Life Reveals Your True Path: Life’s journey reveals our true path over time. Although the way may not always be clear, each experience helps us understand our purpose and identity. Stick to a Single Goal: In our pursuit of success, it is common to set clear goals and follow a predetermined path. However, when we rigidly adhere to a single vision, we may overlook opportunities that truly align with our authentic selves. Does Everything Have to Be Hard?: When you are not aligned with your true self, even simple tasks may require an excessive amount of effort. Emotional Turmoil and Frustration: When we’re not true to ourselves, we often feel inadequate. This feeling of being less than others can be very distressing, leading to a constant fear of not measuring up or being found lacking. Notable Highlights: "Some of the things that you may struggle with today are things that came about when you were a child." "I completely ignored my natural talents and achievements, becoming single-minded in my quest to prove to myself and others that I was smart enough." "Without visible examples around us, it’s tempting to cling to familiar paths that seem stable and clear, even if they don’t fulfill our true potential." "The thing about your life is it will show you who you are." "When we don’t realize the potential and beauty of what we have, it’s easy to miss as we rush in one direction, holding on with all we’ve got." "When you feel like everything has to be hard, you begin to ignore what you’re actually good at because it’s so natural to you."   I want to celebrate you as you celebrate the moves you're making to live a life that's fulfilling to you.

In this episode, I share 5 practical strategies and perspectives that will help you take control of your time so you can create a life that reflects your values, allowing you to live luxuriously and purposefully every day. Join me on this journey to mastering your time and enhancing your quality of life. Key Takeaways: The Luxury of Time - When it comes to living a luxurious life, a major barrier is feeling there is lack of time. Constantly feeling spread too thin won’t allow you to think bigger and allocate time toward what you value The Power of Delegation - Asking for help requires a degree of vulnerability and humility. It means admitting that we are not proficient in every area and that it is perfectly acceptable to rely on others. Overcoming the Solo Success Myth - Embracing help doesn't mean you're not capable; it means you're wise enough to use your energy where it matters most. Invest in Knowledge - One powerful way to create more time is to invest in knowledge. It means dedicating money and or time to learn something new that can dramatically speed up your learning process and open up more time for you to focus on other important tasks.  Understanding Your Values - Having clarity about your values helps you make better decisions about how you spend your time. Instead of being swayed by distractions or obligations that don't contribute to your overall goals, you can focus on what genuinely matters by aligning your daily actions with your core values.  Setting Boundaries Around What You Consume - If you spend a lot of time engaging with content that isn't productive or aligned with your goals, it can lead you away from what you want to achieve. Setting boundaries around what you consume is crucial for maintaining a productive and fulfilling life.  Uncomplicate Your Routines - Simplifying your routines doesn’t mean giving up on your goals or standards. It means making your daily tasks more manageable and aligned with your current lifestyle.  Notable Highlights: "Time is the one thing we cannot pay back for. We can use money to make more of it or the illusion of more time but we are not able to get time back when it's gone." “At the end of the day, you're a human being. You can't be in multiple places operating in excellence in every single area of your life but we can change our mindset in order to create more time.” “When you're able to ask for help in areas you're not skilled in, it frees you up and gives you the mental capacity to be able to think more.” “Part of being strategic with your time is realizing that you can't do it all and you need to delegate.” “Being able to learn from somebody else who knows the strategy to help you get to where you want to go can help lessen your time.”   “What shows up in your identity is what you value.” “Sometimes we feel a lack of time because we are not sure how to manage our time in an appropriate way and fit in all the things that matter to us.”   I want to celebrate you as you celebrate the moves you're making to live a life that's fulfilling to you.

Inaction is a Killer - At its core, it leads to stagnancy—the lack of progress in areas vital to our well-being and fulfillment, robbing us of our potential and hindering our personal growth. Overcoming Self-Limiting Labels - Understanding oneself requires acknowledging that identity is not static but evolves over time, shaped by experiences, introspection, and spiritual guidance, seeing identity as a continuous exploration of our capabilities and potential. Everybody Starts From Somewhere - Everyone begins their journey with different strengths and weaknesses. The traits we admire in others are often the result of dedication, practice, and learning over time so remember that skills are developed, not inherently gifted. Acknowledging the Need for Help - Admitting that we may need help is often the first step toward personal growth and achievement. Therefore, it takes humility to recognize that our own efforts may not be sufficient to achieve our aspirations. Seek Knowledge and Resources - It's easy to wait for solutions to come to us without actively seeking them out. While faith and prayer are powerful, it's also important to take action and seek knowledge and resources to solve our problems. Notable Highlights: "Be careful wishing to be someone else or have their abilities because it could keep you stagnant in progressing in the areas that are considered luxury to you." “You don't truly know the depths of who you are. You don't even fully know what you're capable of. You only know what you know today. Only God knows who you are.” “Who we really are is meant to be discovered with God.”  “Sometimes the issues, problems, and mental terrors we have are because we lack the knowledge.” “Sometimes you have to adopt the mindset of investing in yourself in order to become the person that you want to become.” “You have to understand everybody starts somewhere and you have to be willing to humble yourself and go on the journey to become who it is that you want to become.” I want to celebrate you as you celebrate the moves you're making to live a life that's fulfilling to you.

In this episode, I will discuss the five mental barriers that can hold you back and keep you from living a fulfilling life. As we talk about these five mentalities, we'll share insights and strategies to help you overcome them. It's about recognizing these patterns in yourself and actively working to change them. Join us as we uncover these obstacles and pave the way for a life full of meaning and fulfillment.  Key Takeaways: - The “Take What I Can Get” Mentality - While it might be easy to slip into this mentality, especially depending on one's background and upbringing, it is crucial to recognize the importance of the freedom of choice and the opportunity for personal growth and change. - The Epidemic of Settling - If we always accept what is given to us without questioning or striving for more, we might miss out on better opportunities or what truly fulfills us.  - The “When I Get to a Certain Place, Then Things Will Change” Mentality - The belief that significant changes will only occur when we reach a specific level of success or wealth is a common mindset and can be deceptive. It creates an illusion that progress is only possible under certain conditions. - The Fear of Disappointing Others - The fear of saying no and letting others down can hold us back from living a fulfilled and luxurious life. But if we understand how this fear affects us and prioritize being true to ourselves and taking care of ourselves, we can live a life full of happiness, joy, and abundance.  - “Living by Others' Stories” Mentality - When you live by others' stories, you limit yourself to their experiences and beliefs. You might think that because something didn't work out for them, it won't work out for you either. But the truth is, everyone's journey is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. - The mindset of Lack - This mindset manifests in thoughts like "This won't work for me," "I would never do this," or "Why bother?" It's a limiting belief that holds you back from experiences and opportunities, convincing you that certain things are out of reach or not worth pursuing. - “Not Believing in God and His Words” Mentality - Believing in God at His word is not merely an intellectual exercise but a transformative journey of faith. By embracing the living, breathing truth of scripture and inviting the Holy Spirit to illuminate its meaning, we unlock a pathway to fulfillment and abundance. Notable Highlights: "I shouldn't just keep getting what it is that I feel is available to me. I can be more choosy with what I want. I can take a little bit more time to discover what it is that I like." "If you want to see results later on in your life, you have to start today. In order to build well for whatever it is that you want to do with your money in the future, you have to start today." "I need to communicate what I can and cannot do and it may disappoint people, but I have to do it because I want to give my heart to help, but I want to do it in a way that is helpful that I don't have a grudge in my heart." "Sometimes we have to listen when people talk and say to ourselves, that doesn't have to be my story. And even if it's happened, generation after generation, it doesn't have to be my story." "A new experience opens up your mind, taking away the mental baggage of what you thought was, and brings you into a new place of what could be. So, don't limit yourself."

In this episode, I will share my journey of moving from Florida to the Dallas and the realities of taking risks, facing unexpected challenges, and finding resilience in the face of uncertainty. Tune in to gain wisdom that will encourage you to take leaps of faith, trust in divine guidance, and find resilience in life's challenges. Key Takeaways: Discovering Worth Beyond Accomplishments - The journey of self-reflection is transformative. It allows us to rediscover the power of pausing and the importance of valuing ourselves independently of external accomplishments. When the City Feels Small - Some places may not be destined to contain our dreams. Thus, we must listen to that feeling and trust that there's a bigger world waiting for us beyond these familiar streets. How God Through the Scripture Speaks - When life gets tough, we can turn to the Bible for comfort and guidance. Even when everything seems to be falling apart, God can speak to us through scripture and remind us that He's still in control, working to bring about something new and good. Choices, Joy, and Expansion - In times when everything seemed dark and uncertain, instead of giving in to despair, focus on expanding your horizons and allow yourself to grow and learn and know that every choice you make will shape your future. A Testament of God’s Protection - Life has a funny way of throwing us curveballs when we least expect it, hitting us with something that could turn our world upside down. And just when it feels like everything is falling apart, God steps in and keeps us safe. The Reflection of the Love of Jesus - When we live out God's compassion in what we think, say, and do, we become His presence in the world. His grace flows through us, bringing light and healing to those who need it. Embracing Risk with Faith and Courage - In our pursuit of dreams and aspirations, we often encounter obstacles and setbacks that test our resolve and resilience, embodying the essence of risk-taking—the willingness to step into the unknown, to embrace the possibility of failure in pursuit of something greater. Notable Highlights: “Sometimes, what we aspire to have or consider meaningful for us requires risk. And with risk, we never know what will happen on the other side of it. We just have to take a leap of faith.”  “God speaks through things that you've never noticed or thought about, such as when you're reading a certain verse that resonates with your situation, speaks to you, or conveys the Lord's heart in a certain way.” "Sometimes it feels like we're searching for who God is and what He looks like. Often, it's reflected in how we treat others or how we've been treated, serving as a mirror of God's love, particularly the love demonstrated by Jesus."
