Ep. 68 | How to throw out your bucket list and live life on your own terms with Ashley Bugge

Christians have been in this long debated argument for years now discussing manifestation, meditation, and how it incorporates with Christianity - or if it does at all. This is what I’ll say on the subject: You are you. You know where your heart and focus are - moving in conjunction with the holy spirit rather than what your ego wants. God wants you to be a testimony for others and show them what&apos;s possible in moving with the Holy Spirit. We must renew our minds so we can hear God clearly, otherwise, our ego gets in the way.the ego shows up like, ohhh I will step on anyone to get what I want. I will sell worthless products and services, I’ll trick people, I’ll get into a get rich quick scheme and not worry about who it hurts or steals from as long as I’m taken care of - my blessings abound. NAH FAM!OR Your ego can get in the way and cause you to play small and think “oh if God really wanted me to have this, He would make it happen”. NOPE! If you really want it, He wants you to go for it. Work for it. Don’t expect a handout. That’s not how He works.It&apos;s not Godly to have limiting beliefs. He made us in His image and He calls us worthy! If we don’t consistently work to overcome these stories that keep us stuck or keep us striving to live out the potential that HE put inside of us - we are not doing His work. Instead we’re letting the devil/evil/low energy/doubt/unworthiness take over us. He did not call you to that!! That is not from Him!!Okay so here’s the process. It’s 6 simple steps.You must be truly grateful for everything you already have.And be a good steward of your gifts and blessings :TalentsMoneyTimeYou must be truly grateful for everything you already have.a. And be a good steward of your gifts and blessings : Time, Talents, MoneyYou gotta dream big: What do YOU want! It can be hard to get out of your head and think about what YOU want with all the noise around. HELLO - advertisements were made to tell us what to want.Pray about it: Your will be done, Lord!! This or something better - sometimes we don’t get what we want in the exact way we want it - we get something even better than we could have ever imagined. Have you ever looked at your life and thought “ugh I wish those unanswered prayers had been answered” NOOOO bc they were - with something better.Write it down, be specific, and list your WHY! Your why will keep you coming back to it when you are feeling defeated.Visualize it - smell it, feel it, hear it, see it, taste it (if you can). Your brain doesn&apos;t know the difference between visualizing and real memories.Take inspired action, knowing exactly what you want is on the way. Know the Holy Spirit is guiding you if you let it. Have Faith that He will make it happen if it’s His will. Your job is just to obey and do what He wants you to do. You must TRUST that it will be done! Believe. Know. Our limiting beliefs get in the way - not from God. God calls us worthy! When we don’t believe that and work from that place, we are not being Christ-like. Christ KNEW he was the son of God, he didn’t try to convince others. He KNEW!God qualifies the called! You have everything you need inside of you already!Want to work together? https://www.livewithaudacitynow.com/coaching Join the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LivewithAudacityNow/ Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livewithaudacitynow/ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/LWApodcastSupport the show (https://www.livewithaudacitynow.com/podcast)

Oohh today&apos;s episode is so powerful!! I get to talk to Marge Budensiek, life coach for women facing a cancer diagnosis. If you don&apos;t know anyone who has faced this, you may not know how you&apos;d ever deal with this if it should ever come up for you. But what Marge and I discuss is how to move through it with optimism and strength.After being diagnosed with cancer in February 2020, Marge realized that cancer was something that happened, and she could decide what she wanted to think about it. “Making the decision on what I wanted to think made the whole journey empowering for me.” After being certified as a life coach Marge now wants to help other women diagnosed with cancer thrive through their journey.It will no doubt be a strenuous road, but listening to Marge, you will walk away knowing there is really something to this mindset stuff. Your mind is a beautiful tool and you CAN and must use it to your advantage. But we have to learn to slow down and process our thoughts and emotions with grace.Listen in as Marge and I dive into this tough subject!Find Marge:https://www.instagram.com/margelifecoach/https://www.facebook.com/margelifecoachFind me: Work with me: https://www.livewithaudacitynow.com/coaching Join the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LivewithAudacityNow/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livewithaudacitynow/ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/LWApodcastSupport the show (https://www.livewithaudacitynow.com/podcast)

Ep. 61 | How To Find and Trust Your Intuition for Success with Gina Defa

Happy Monday, friends!! We're moving into 2021 with expectations of it being different than this crazy year that we've had in 2020. But there's one way you can make sure it is actually different and that's intentionally working toward your goals every single day. One of the things that can get in our way and keep us from these goals is self-sabotage. Self-sabotage is our brain's way of keeping us comfortable and safe when we start reaching for a goal we've never accomplished before. It can appear in many ways and none of us is safe. The difference between successful and non-successful people is the ability to recognize this self-sabotage when it's happening and push through it to get to a bigger and better place than you've ever been.
