The Becoming Ourselves Podcast

In this episode, we dive into the ideas of hope, healing, and living your purposed life. You know - all things walking in your calling. It's a vital conversation in a world of so much hopelessness, settling, and surviving instead of thriving.  _____________________________________________MEET DRAKE:As a pastor and speaker, Drake De Long-Farmer has been passionate about inviting people into the deeper life with God and creating spaces for people to wrestle with what they believe about themselves, God, and the world around them. His hope is that, in some way, through his words and work, he can inspire people to become #FullOfLove, #FuelledByFaith, and #AddictedToHope. Drake currently serves on the leadership team of Beulah Alliance Church in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Growing up in a military family, he has moved a lot in his lifetime and has had the privilege to travel across Canada and Europe, but he is most at home when he spends time with his wife and four kids.Website: www.drakefarmer.comFacebook: facebook.com/drakefarmerInsta: instagram.com/drakefarmerGet the Book: http://getbook.at/addictedtohope____________________________________________CONNECT WITH JULIInsta | Facebook https://www.juliwenger.com/FIRED-UP, FULFILLED & FREE (THE BOOK)GET THE BOOK (Amazon Canada)GET THE BOOK (Amazon US)

Are you being intentional about who you're spending time with? On who you're allowing to determine the direction and quality of your life? If you aren't, it's time. The wrong people will kill your calling and pull you from purpose. The right ones will propel you. This episode is all about how to tell the difference.____________________________________________CONNECT WITH JULIInsta | Facebook | TikTokhttps://www.juliwenger.com/Sign up for FIRED-UP - Weekly Power Notes from JuliFIRED-UP, FULFILLED & FREE (THE BOOK)GET THE BOOK (Amazon Canada)GET THE BOOK (Amazon US)Interested in the FEAR TO FREEDOM PLAYBOOK? Get on the waitlist here!READY FOR A SPARK?Book a Clarity Call____________________________________________CONNECT WITH JULIInsta | Facebook https://www.juliwenger.com/FIRED-UP, FULFILLED & FREE (THE BOOK)GET THE BOOK (Amazon Canada)GET THE BOOK (Amazon US)

Grow, reach, push, hustle... keep going... keep moving... everyday we're hustling..... Ok cheesy songs aside, we're looking at personal and professional growth this week. Because there is a growth curve and we need to understand how it works if we intend to grow and develop our character, capacit, and impact. Particularly, we're looking at those times when you feel like you've hit a plateau. It's not meant to be a plateau though. _____________________________________________FOLLOW THE PODCASTInsta | Facebook | TikTokSign up for Podcast NewsCONNECT WITH JULIInsta | Facebook | TikTokhttps://www.juliwenger.com/Sign up for FIRED-UP - Weekly Power Notes from JuliFIRED-UP, FULFILLED & FREE (THE BOOK)GET THE BOOK (Amazon Canada)GET THE BOOK (Amazon US)Interested in the YOUR FIRED-UP LIFE course?Get on the waitlist here!READY FOR A SPARK?Book a Clarity Call____________________________________________CONNECT WITH JULIInsta | Facebook https://www.juliwenger.com/FIRED-UP, FULFILLED & FREE (THE BOOK)GET THE BOOK (Amazon Canada)GET THE BOOK (Amazon US)

Everybody experiences it, but do you know what imposter syndrome really is? And do you know how to conquer it? We're getting tactical in this episode and making the connection between faith, purpose, and the fear that takes us out._____________________________________________FOLLOW THE PODCASTInsta | Facebook | TikTokSign up for Podcast NewsCONNECT WITH JULIInsta | Facebook | TikTokhttps://www.juliwenger.com/Sign up for FIRED-UP - Weekly Power Notes from JuliFIRED-UP, FULFILLED & FREE (THE BOOK)GET THE BOOK (Amazon Canada)GET THE BOOK (Amazon US)Interested in the YOUR FIRED-UP LIFE course?Get on the waitlist here!READY FOR A SPARK?Book a Clarity Call____________________________________________CONNECT WITH JULIInsta | Facebook https://www.juliwenger.com/FIRED-UP, FULFILLED & FREE (THE BOOK)GET THE BOOK (Amazon Canada)GET THE BOOK (Amazon US)

Comparison kills confidence, callings, clarity... what other "c" words can we come up with... courage, calm, and creativity... It's been taking me out of my power my whole life. And I'm done giving it my power. God didn't make me to be compared. He didn't make you that way either. Comparison is what drives imposter syndrome, it's what keeps us small, and it's time for us to fight back. _____________________________________________FOLLOW THE PODCASTInsta | Facebook | TikTokSign up for Podcast NewsCONNECT WITH JULIInsta | Facebook | TikTokhttps://www.juliwenger.com/Sign up for FIRED-UP - Weekly Power Notes from JuliFIRED-UP, FULFILLED & FREE (THE BOOK)GET THE BOOK (Amazon Canada)GET THE BOOK (Amazon US)Interested in the YOUR FIRED-UP LIFE course?Get on the waitlist here!READY FOR A SPARK?Book a Clarity Call____________________________________________CONNECT WITH JULIInsta | Facebook https://www.juliwenger.com/FIRED-UP, FULFILLED & FREE (THE BOOK)GET THE BOOK (Amazon Canada)GET THE BOOK (Amazon US)

It's been 2 years this month since I walked away from my real estate business of 10 years.  It's been interesting to detach from the identity of "successful Realtor with an established business" and the importance I assigned to how much money I could bring home. Redefining success was one thing. Retraining my nervous system was another - after 10+ years of reacting and being "on" all the time, it took a while for me to recover my energy and learn to rest.So we're going back in time this week to talk about big transitions, our fears, and what's on the other side._____________________________________________FOLLOW THE PODCASTInsta | Facebook | TikTokSign up for Podcast NewsCONNECT WITH JULIInsta | Facebook | TikTokhttps://www.juliwenger.com/Sign up for FIRED-UP - Weekly Power Notes from JuliFIRED-UP, FULFILLED & FREE (THE BOOK)GET THE BOOK (Amazon Canada)GET THE BOOK (Amazon US)Interested in the YOUR FIRED-UP LIFE course?Get on the waitlist here!READY FOR A SPARK?Book a Clarity Call____________________________________________CONNECT WITH JULIInsta | Facebook https://www.juliwenger.com/FIRED-UP, FULFILLED & FREE (THE BOOK)GET THE BOOK (Amazon Canada)GET THE BOOK (Amazon US)
