BOLDly Protecting Our Routines and Boundaries with Jessica Fres

Confidence is a skill. Our human nature makes it so easy for us to let life experiences chip away at any confidence we've built. We often focus on the negative and put ourselves down to a level we would never let our friends sink to. Ceri Payne is speaking with us today about some really practical ways that we can practice confidence. If you are afraid of being confident, because you don't want to appear conceded...well don't worry...we are talking about that too.  Let's all work harder this week to pay attention to how we are speaking to ourselves...and change the playlist.

Emotional Resilience with Dr. David T. Morgan

Tawni is sharing a story about how a quiet plane ride lullaby, has stuck with her for years. A nearby passenger heard her singing the children's song "I Am a Child of God", and was so touched and had never heard it before. Knowing this truth....that you are God's child, and that he loves you can change everything. Really knowing it. Your knowledge of your TRUE divine identity protects you from the influences trying to prove to you otherwise. The entire world will try to bring your sense of identity crashing down, but with God as your anchor you will never be torn down.

I Am a Child of God

THE MOON IS ROUND... This phrase has become a life moto for Tawni.  In this episode she will explain what this means and why it's become so important to her. We’ve all seen the moon in its full and beautiful glory, but there are times when the shadows of life only allow you to see a sliver of the moon. In those desperate and hard times you may wonder if the moon is still in fact round.  Sometimes you might question if the full light is still there.  But I’m here to tell you- if you remain faithful, patient, and steadfast, the moon will absolutely show its magnificence again (every 29.5 days to be exact).  You see, it was always there, fully round the entire time! It was your perspective from where you were that made it seem less than.  God is ALWAYS there for us. “I will never leave you comfortless, I will come to you.” 

The Moon Is Round

No Need to Compare

ENCORE EPISODE originally aired April 2020 The loss of a parent is an experience that most of us cannot imagine. We were so blessed when an incredible teen named Sam Johnson reached out to share his story of growing up with a mother who was diagnosed with M.S. before he was born, was physically impaired for most of his life, and passed away this last year. We were blown away with the positivity and perspective that Sam clearly learned from his mother who lived a beautiful and full life. Sam found so many life lessons from his mother, his family, and friends as he went through an unthinkable life challenge in his young life. As we listened to his story it just drove home how our attitude and our gratitude is so important as we journey through this life.

ENCORE EPISODE: Originally Aired  March 2019 Heartbreak from loss, or whatever hard circumstance you are dealing with, can cause your world to crumble all around you.  Tawni interviewed the incredible Natalie Norton who has a complete understanding of what this looks and feels like. This amazing interview was so touching and enlightening that we had to bring it back for an ENCORE. (The episode was split into 2 episodes, but we've put it all back together for you...you might still hear some references to part 1 and 2). You will be given 5 tangible ways to be able to face the next day and find a way to your new normal. We also talk about how to deal with feelings of blame or anger towards others, but more specifically towards God.  This interview has the ability to change the lives of those who are going through devastation. Please share it with anyone you know that is struggling. We love you and we are all in this together. We want to provide all of the love and support that we can.  Show Up with Natalie Norton Podcast Instagram: @natalienorton   Visit our website or follow us on instagram @becomingpodcast

The 7th and Final Step of the Surrender Series. You may think that after this entire series we would not need to cover surrender, but each time I get to the next step I realize how much more I need to dig in to this, and continue to work on this skill. Remember what surrender looks like: HUMBLE · PATIENT · SUBMISSIVE · PEACEFUL · FAITH-FILLED ·Full of ACCEPTANCE OF WHAT IS Articles Referenced: 7 Steps of Spiritual Surrender Visit our website or follow us on instagram @becomingpodcast  

Surrender: Surrender to God

We've worked so hard to let go and surrender that this step might seem so far from what we've talked about. Believe...to hope for more. If we finally recognize that after all, God's plan for us will happen, it can feel hard to hope and plan for anything in our future. In this episode we will talk about continuing to create and believe in a desired outcome--just let go of attachment. "Come what may and love it."  We can believe and hope, but we can also be able to adapt when a new turn in the road comes our way.

Surrender: Believe

Accept what is and trust God’s divine purposes and timing in all things. It's so difficult to not wrestle God for what we think is our plan, but when we accept that maybe God has greater growth, greater plans, and greater perspective we can grow our ability to surrender. We may have faith that God is the most trustworthy being, but do we really practice that trust. Trust Him. He loves you. He is with you!   Articles Referenced: 7 Steps of Spiritual Surrender   Promptly Journals has amazing journaling options for teens and teen parents.

Step 4 of Spiritual Surrender Some grief is heavier than other grief. Sometimes it moves through you and sometimes it just gets stuck and you carry it. We shouldn’t dismiss our grief and try to push it down. It’s ok to feel grief, fear, and anger. We need to address those feelings that may be within us. Grief is not something to avoid or run away from. It is actually part of the healing process...it is through grief that we heal and become more and allow our spiritual surrender to happen.   Articles Referenced: 7 Steps of Spiritual Surrender The Healing Power of Grief   Promptly Journals has amazing journaling options for teens and teen parents.

Step 3 of Spiritual Surrender: Let Go Our brains always want the path of least resistance- and my brain does not like letting go. I don’t think I’m alone in this either- there are many famous songs, movies, and novels all about the process of letting go. But I’m telling you, one of the most peaceful feelings you can have is when you find the courage to let go of what you cannot change.   Articles Referenced: 7 Steps of Spiritual Surrender Releasing your Attachment to an Outcome   Promptly Journals has amazing journaling options for teens and teen parents.
