Breaking Chains

In today’s episode, I am unpacking how to effectively communicate with a fiercely independent woman!  I know because I was one for so many years and to this day I am still a woman on fire for my calling. I'll share personal experience of being a strong-willed, highly driven female and drop some insights on how to navigate communication with this type of personality. Note: while we are talking about women today - much of this conversation can apply to anyone in our lives who seems to be hard to reach, highly opinionated and not receptive to feedback much of the time.I will share what’s often hiding behind this ‘persona’ and how to meet her (or anyone who operates from this place) in a way that meets them where they are at while also influencing the conversation to move in a new - more aligned way for both of you.We are talking about what NOT to do as well as what to do instead AND I am giving you a handful of powerful language that shifts the atmosphere and gets you two moving in the same direction, more connected and willing to work together.Key Takeaways:Establishing a Safe Space: How to build rapport, lay the groundwork for productive communication + foster a sense of security.Checking Your State! Energy is everything. Before engaging in dialogue, ensure you approach with a calm, grounded demeanor. Your energy sets the tone for the entire interaction! Mastering this is a ninja skill!How to Lead and What Leadership is not!Curiosity: Replacing judgment with genuine curiosity. By seeking to understand rather than dictate, you open the door to authentic connection and mutual respect.Practicing Active Listening: Resist the urge to offer unsolicited advice. Instead, focus on truly hearing the other person's perspective and validating their emotions.So much more GOLD! This is a must listen if you want to foster greater communication both inside your home and your team environments where there are many strong willed personalities and agendas at play.By tuning in, you'll not only enhance your leadership acumen but also deepen your relationships and develop a culture of greater trust and understanding.Here’s to learning to TALK + LEAD Different in a world where everyone is competing for attention, desperately longing to be heard.FREE GIFT!

Today I’m joined by Kyler Kropf, CEO of Saddlebrooke Homes and we are talking about the life changing decision of making today our “DAY ONE” - instead of waiting until “some day” to get started or get things back in right order. Kyler is more than just an entrepreneur; he's a story of resilience, a testament to the power of belief in oneself, and an example of humble beginnings leading to extraordinary achievements. At the age of 19, with a vision far beyond his years, Kyler embarked on an entrepreneurial journey that was less about building sheds and tiny homes and more about constructing a life marked by purpose, peace, and prosperity. Coming from a small town in Arkansas, Kyler's early life was anything but easy. An 8th-grade dropout facing the limited prospects of a $250-a-week farm job, he saw a future for himself beyond the confines of conventional expectations. Without any formal education in business or construction, Kyler harnessed his determination and a bold idea in 2019 to lay the groundwork for what would become a multi-million dollar enterprise. Kyler’s journey has been anything but linear. In 2022, he faced the kind of adversity that tests the soul’s mettle—on the verge of bankruptcy, it was a period of profound reflection and recalibration. His story is a reminder that the journey of entrepreneurship is as much about internal transformation as it is about external success. Today we unpacked…Resilience Beyond Measure: overcoming the toughest of challenges on the path to success.What we SEE on the outside vs what’s truly going on INSIDE - the destructive influence of social media and poor council around you Why you must have Great Mentors as a LeaderEmbracing Challenges with GratitudeThe moment he finally “woke up” and STOPPED grinding it out + fighting the old way. DAY ONE - his secret sauce to making “shift” happen! His desire to change the narrative for younger generations of up and coming leadersNotable Quotes:"True success encompasses more than financial achievements; it's about fulfilling God's purpose for your life.""In times of trial, the role of coaching and mentorship becomes a beacon of hope, guiding us through the storm.""Let us embrace challenges as opportunities for God's grace to manifest, leading us to greater heights of personal and professional growth."EVERY young man needs to hear this episode as well as more “seasoned” leaders.

What do you do when you feel you have nowhere left to GO? When nothing you are doing seems to be working any longer - in fact it’s only making things worse?When you want to burn it all down and start over but you feel like you’ve got to fight for your life? Today's episode is inspired by some heartbreaking conversations I have had lately with men and women who have reached out to me. I have heard things like“I don’t even want to be alive right now.”“If I didn’t have my wife and kids waiting for me at home, depending on me - I would be checking out right now.”“I have nowhere left to turn. Everyone I once thought I could rely on has turned on me or left the building”Guys, this is not ONE  person. This is multiple people and conversations in a very short time. Seems to be a theme right now. Many are really struggling, feeling trapped by old lives and challenges are hitting them like waves —legal battles, business downturns, personal struggles—you name it. They're at a breaking point, feeling overwhelmed and alone.The GOOD News? This is a critical moment to birth their new life and it’s also temporary.The BAD news. It is not pretty and feels like it drags on forever. While I believe we all have seasons of breakdown that lead to our greatest breakthroughs - I also KNOW that we are in the midst of a massive divine re-orchestration. What do I mean by this? What I am seeing right now, not only in the clients I am working with, but in the collective, is that everything that is NOT a fit for our future calling, vision and mission is getting deconstructed. We are in a NEW ERA and anyone holding on to the things of the past will find themselves in a loop of endless suffering and frustration.I've been there, feeling like everything is falling apart, like I'm on the brink of losing it all. And the truth is - for the life I have today, I DID need to release all the old that was misaligned. The perceived ‘loss’ was actually a huge blessing that was making room for the new!In this episode of the Breaking Chains Podcast, we talk about:What do you do in those moments of intense pressure?Why fighting harder, clinging to trying to the old, controlling things never worksWhat to do instead - seems totally counterintuitive!GOD has a completely different vantage point of our situation than we do. The concept of divine reconstruction and its role in personal transformationEncouragement for those feeling lost and the promise of renewalThe power of divine favor and the unpredictability of life's journeyHe knows what HE is doing, he’s always on time, never late and knows exactly what we need - and how to deliver it! Setbacks are always part of our deepest growth and often the launching pads for the NEXT Chapter of our lives!Looking back, I can see how each trial, each setback, has led me to where I am today. It's been a journey of transformation, of refining my character, and finding strength I didn't know I had. And I believe the same is true for anyone going through tough times right now.So if you're feeling overwhelmed, if it seems like everything is falling apart, just know that this isn't the end of your story. It's a new beginning, a chance to become the person you're meant to be, not the one everyone else wants you to be. Trust in the process, lean on your faith, and remember that you're not alone  "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28...

How do you maintain a sense of balance when you’re constantly on the move? I just returned from 4 weeks of non-stop travel for work and family events, not to mention the everyday projects I am working on in FULL swing - including the launch of my upcoming book, Drop the Armor. It's easy for us to hit a wall of exhaustion when we are running. Today I want to share 5 Foundational practices I have in place when I travel for work events that help keep me grounded and ensure I come home both rested and ready to rock on execution. Hint - we are breaking free of the constant RUN in order to create a new rhythm of work and recovery that brings us more than ‘achievements’ and busyness -  but greater bandwidth, clarity and the ability to execute from an inspired state!Key Takeaways for High-Achieving Leaders:Embracing OPTIMIZATION Over Busyness:  I've learned firsthand that creating a better rhythm and practices in our daily routines not only enhances our work but enriches + optimizes our lives. The game is working smarter, not harder, and making space for what truly matters.The Rocketfuel Power of Rest: As leaders, we often equate pressure with productivity. But I'm here to tell you, constant pressure without relief doesn't produce diamonds; it leads to burnout. Strategic rest and recovery are not just beneficial; they're essential for sustaining peak performance and leadership excellence.Stay Grounded Amidst Travel: For those of us constantly on the move, maintaining a sense of balance can be challenging. I've shared some personal strategies that help me transition from one event to the next without sacrificing my well-being.Hearing the Internal Whisper: In the chaos of our busy lives, the still, small voice within often gets drowned out. I've experienced profound moments of clarity and direction when I've intentionally quieted the noise and listened. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful action we can take is to be still and receive that WORD from above.Five Game-Changing Practices: I've distilled my approach to managing a demanding schedule into five key practices that have been game-changers for me. These include creating buffer days around travel, conducting a strategic brain dump, recalibrating post-travel, setting up for success, and embracing a slower pace for deeper impact. These practices aren't just about doing more; they're about being more—more present, more impactful, and more fulfilled.Notable Quotes:"While pressure does produce diamonds, constant pressure without relief breaks things.""Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind." - Ecclesiastes 4:6"You're not going to lose your drive by resting; you'll find a new fire because you'll be rested enough to do your most meaningful work."Action Steps for Leaders:Reflect on your current pace and identify one area where you can introduce more rest and reflection.Schedule a 'listening session' in your week—time dedicated solely to being still and open to divine guidance or inner wisdom.Review your travel and work habits, and consider implementing the five practices I shared to bring more balance and fulfillment into your professional and personal life.To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612aYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMugWebsite:...

Today I am honored to welcome Ben Utecht as a guest on the show and today we are talking about championship mindset, leadership, and unshakable culture!  Ben is not only a celebrated Super Bowl champion but also stands out for his remarkable leadership qualities which earned him the "Uncommon Leader Award" from the esteemed NFL Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy.After an injury ended his NFL career, Ben pivoted into the corporate world as a sought-after speaker within the Fortune 500 arena, becoming the Chief Culture Officer for True North Private Equity, a family of companies whose portfolio currently includes 28 companies across 5 industries. Utecht is also an owner in the top US Ninja Fitness/Entertainment Franchise, Conquer Ninja Gyms, where he oversees all culture systems that impact every location.Key Takeaways:The things that break us are the things that make us: every challenge, every injury, and every transition is an opportunity for growth and surrender to a higher purpose.The Foundation of Belief: Whether in sports, business, or personal life, what we fundamentally believe guides our path and influences our success.Championship Language: Ben emphasizes the critical importance of every word we speak, drawing from his NFL experience with Peyton Manning. Clear, intentional communication, defined by content, purpose, and delivery, changes the game - every time!Ask Better Questions: Why Fostering a culture that celebrates the pursuit of knowledge is key.

How are they represented in your daily walk as a leader?For team meetings: Normalize asking challenging questions and require your team to bring them to the table!  Consider developing an 'organizational creed' that encapsulates the non-negotiable beliefs that guide your team's actions and organizations behaviors.Connect with Ben Online: https://cultureoperatingstrategy.comSocial: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benutecht/Instagram - @BenUtecht, X - @BenUtechtGet the Book: Counting The Days While My Mind Slips AwayTo learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612aYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMugWebsite: https://thechristinejewell.com/

You may WANT it ALL…But are you WILLING?The great marriage, the self leading team, the guilt free time off and memories with your kids, the mental and physical fitness, FREEDOM to work on the things that actually light  you up. The laser FOCUS to innovate rather than be putting out fires daily… The intimacy with God. A SPIRIT that feels ALIVE inside you. My guess is You WANT it ALL. But the question I have for you today is - Are you WILLING to do what is REQUIRED to receive it, build it and multiply it? You would think that the “higher” you get the more willing people are to DITCH their OLD ways in order to make room for the NEW thing they want to normalize. the more willing they are to take the “risk”, LET GO and LEAN IN to the next evolution  of growth or depth, right?Actually - what I’ve found is that often (not always) the MORE success and stuff someone has accumulated the more they are AFRAID to LOSE! After nearly 25 years of consistently coaching athletes, entrepreneurs, high achievers, and people with dreams to become and create something BETTER - the difference between those who CONTINUE to expand, grow and evolve vs those who PLATEAU and regress - > really comes down to this one thing above all else.In todays episode we are unpacking: ➡️ The KEY difference between those who are WILLING to create the LIFE they long for, versus  those who will live a life of unrealized desires. (This one trait is what I actively LOOK for in my coaching clients)➡️LOSS Aversion. It is a real thing for ALL people!➡️ SCARCITY as a default state of mind rather than Abundance and expansion➡️ The ONE thing you need more than DESIRE if you want to upgrade your life➡️Leading with Spiritual Authority + Love rather than being “Lorded” over by fear and ego➡️ My quantum leaps and what I had to GIVE UP in order to GAIN so much MORE➡️ The Rich Young Ruler….

Or do you feel more like a machine, going through the motions most days?  Join me as we explore HOW to transcend our current reality and live a life of ultimate purpose and alignment - aka - GOD'S plan for our life! Today’s podcast is inspired by the recent completion of my upcoming book, “Drop the Armor, slated to come out early Jan, where I share my journey of going from an unfulfilled and misaligned “warrior” of the world - fighting all the wrong battles - to living a life of FULL YES in every single area as a Warrior of the Heart.  I could not be here if I had not gone through this path of initiation. I call it the warrior's initiation, the journey from head to heart into a whole new playing field. Here's the thing… There are so many realities available to us at any given moment in time. Every single morning you wake up, you are choosing. With every single text, every single email, every project you say yes to, every client you take on, every employee, every single day, the workouts you miss, the workouts you do, everything is stacking to CREATE the LIFE you are experiencing.So - if you don’t LOVE the life you are experiencing, I welcome you to CHOOSE a new reality. Today I am sharing 5 of the steps I took on my path to a completely upgraded reality. I am sharing what’s required at each stage of the game, and what life looks like on the other side. In todays episode we unpack:What does Breaking Chains even mean and WHY is now the time?The WAKE UP Call we all must experience.  Have you had it? Living a Full Yes: creating a life that is a full yes, where every decision and action aligns with divine purpose and brings fulfillment, abundance, and alignment with God's vision.The power of the great UNKNOWN - Trading the need for safety and predictability for expansion + co-creationWhat DRIVES you to grow and expand your life?Claiming Your KINGDOM Identity - it’s so different than your worldly oneUpgraded Vantage Points + Battle Strategies "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." - Ephesians 2:10 To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612aYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMugWebsite: https://thechristinejewell.com/

Today we are diving into our relationship with our Bodies, Health and Performance. What does it mean to YOU to be FIT? Everyone I speak to says health is one of their core values, but WHAT does that really mean?Have you taken a look around at what ‘normal’ looks like lately? Medicated, stressed out, tired and burned out. Bags under eyes, bloated bellies and joint aches and pains.All it takes is one look around to see how OUT of shape and out of integrity we are if that’s the case.And what about all these ‘ultra’ fit looking athletes with not an ounce of fat on them - winning championships and crushing the competition. Is that a spitting image of health?All those muscles. All those medals. All that talk of ‘no pain, no gain!’I have been in the world of athletics, nutrition, weight loss and competition for over 3 decades now. AND If you would have asked me this question 20 years ago, my answer would be radically different than it is today. 10 years ago? Different again. In the past 5 years? My definition of health has been completely upgraded, rewritten and fully aligned.That’s because we EVOLVE. And as we evolve, I believe so should our definitions of what success looks like for us. So should our mindset, our daily practices and protocols. Today we are talking about upgrading our health and vitality - and that starts with the programs that run our RELATIONSHIP with our bodies. AND of course - we are going straight to the SOURCE. In order to optimize anything you’ve got to understand the PURPOSE of it. So, what is the purpose of our BODIES original DESIGN by God?In this episode, we unpack:Vulnerable childhood experiences that shaped my relationship with fitness + my bodyFinding strength and identity through athletics during challenging timesUsing exercise as an escape and the dangers of burnoutThe importance of nurturing a respectful, balanced relationship with our bodies3 SHIFTS in thinking and operating that shifted the game for me.God’s PURPOSE and plan for our bodiesJoin me as I share the highs and lows of my wellness journey, trusting it will move you to embrace a more holistic approach to health and longevity.To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612aYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMugWebsite: https://thechristinejewell.com/

Today on the Breaking Chains Show I am sharing my personal journey OUT of the Ego-Centric business models that run the world into the territory of multiplication and alignment without constant strife.I believe most of us start out with really great intentions. We want to serve the people, do good, create opportunities for others - and of course make a good profit along the way.I love the game of business. It's challenging, engaging and has stretched my character, capacity and belief systems like few things have.But somewhere along the way things started going sideways - as they do for many of us.And the game we used to love becomes a burden. In today's episode I am unpacking the EGO-CENTRIC business game and how I broke free of that.

And I am sharing the fire or fuel that drives everything today.If you've been following our podcast series, you know that we've delved into the raw, real stories that have shaped my passion for restoring broken homes, starting with broken hearts and identities. From family origin to distorted love, each episode has invited us to examine the core relationships that underpin our lives.Today we are diving into the intricate workings of our internal programming as it relates to making money and growing!—the mental and emotional blueprints that shape our approach to work and life. Drawing from personal experiences, I share the journey of aligning my business practices with Kingdom values and God shaped purpose, moving away from societal standards toward HIS blueprints for a blessed life.Key Points from the Episode:Exploring Internal Programming: Understanding the mental and emotional blueprints that influence our approach to work and life.Transitioning to Kingdom Blueprints: Aligning business practices with deeper values and purpose for meaningful impact.Lessons from My Personal Journey: Reflecting on pivotal moments, challenges, and the pursuit of passion amidst adversity.The Pitfalls of Ego-driven Ambitions: Recognizing the dangers of comparison, entitlement, and greed in the pursuit of success.Cultivating Gratitude and Service: Embracing humility and gratitude as guiding principles in our personal and professional endeavors.As you navigate your respective path, may you remain vigilant against the allure of entitlement, greed, and envy, and instead, cultivate a spirit of gratitude and service in all your endeavors.Staying in this place will yield blessings and multiplication!To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612aYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMugWebsite: https://thechristinejewell.com/

Hey there, welcome back to the Breaking Chains podcast! I'm thrilled to kick off a fresh series in this new season. In this 6 part series  I'll be sharing some personal stories, starting with my own origin story. I know it's challenging to unveil personal stories, especially those that reveal part of our nature we are not ‘proud’ of - but I believe it's crucial to understand where those parts of us came from in order to move forward!Our family of origin and our origin story  affects us deeply in the first years of our lives. It shapes our identity, beliefs, reactions, and unconscious operating systems. But that beginning and that story does not have to be the ONE we live out our entire lives. We can take the good, restore the broken parts - and create a NEW LIFE story - one that will shape the future of our children and every person we are called to lead.So, let me reintroduce myself. I'm Christine Jewel, a high-performance coach and faith-based mentor to impact-driven leaders who want to experience greater freedom and fulfillment in EVERY arena of life. My signature approach is grounded in faith + holistic in nature -  addressing the mind, body, spirit, and heart to guide individuals through a process of INITIATION. The journey from head to heart, from the ways of the world (keep us enslaved)  to the ways of the KINGDOM (free us).In Todays Episode, I unpack: The Power of Our Origin Story + Family of OriginWHO we are is shaped even before the first SEED in the womb!Being raised in chaos and abandonment. My father's struggles with alcohol and depression. The tumultuous environment that shaped my perception of love, trust, and safety.Performing for Love and affection Becoming a protector and emotional parent. Coping mechanisms we develop to survive or get ahead.How I became a fighter, determined to never be like my father or my mother. My life became about proving myself, escaping the past, and chasing an illusion of security. This warrior mentality was fueled by pain, fear, and anger.Facing a breaking point that forced me to surrender to a higher power.In the next episode, I'll delve into the transformative journey that followed.

Today we are talking micro-habits, the super small things that actually create exponential INCREASE when compounded over time.Focusing on GROWTH vs focusing on how to cultivate the right ENVIRONMENT where growth naturally happens are two very distinctly different things.One is chasing those shiny apples (cars, money, success, status, clients, profits, etc) The other is planting a whole filed of seeds that birth thousands of apples!In order to get a harvest, you need the right soil, the right seeds, the right environment and a lot of tending to the right process!  Relationships, business, health, finances are no different and yet so many of us are trying to grow grow grow things in a way that’s going to end up burning the whole thing up - producing little to NO FRUIT long term. In today’s episode I invite you SEE the BIG, GOD shaped Vision and Goals for this year, but laser in your focus and actions on the seemingly insignificant things that actually generate the things we desire - sustainability and naturally.Do you KNOW what those are?

Alright, let's get personal! I'm about to spill the beans on 10 lessons that lit up and shifted my world in 2023.These lessons prepared me and paved the way for the road ahead. Wisdom, you know, can be acquired in one of two ways. The first is the hard way – these are the lessons we learn through challenging times, the fires we walk through that burn the old away and shape our character for the NEW.  This is where we are forced through the internal work required to become the person worthy of receiving and managing well the next chapter of life we are looking forward to.The second way wisdom is passed on is by RECEIVING it from those who have gone before us: through mentorship, coaching, and hearing others experiences. The Key is actually receiving and applying it to be more than just entertainment! This way - we literally begin to collapse timelines and accelerate growth. We don’t have to struggle nearly as long or make it as hard as the ‘earned’ path. We move forward by Leaning IN to the wisdom being handed down and embracing the change + preparing for it - rather Before we jump in, I encourage you to adopt a childlike wonder, faith, and a student's heart. For those of you who have been in the mindset, leadership development and spiritual growth game for a while - It's easy to think, "I already know this," but danger lies in that attitude! Nothing could stump our progress faster than a prideful mindset and ego-driven posture. And there goes lesson #1! For each lesson I am giving you words of truth and life to back it up! I pray you RECEIVE this wisdom and embrace it in your own life.  Here are a few of those Takeaways to Warm your Palette!UNIFICATION leads to MULTIPLICATION: meaning - if you want to accomplish EPIC things then you better get the RIGHT people together and it starts with your key relationships. Your marriage is the #1 place to get on the SAME PAGE if you want exponential increase. If you are over there praying for a miracle to happen, but you are disrespecting your wife/husband - expect things NOT to manifest. You need to hear this. It’s Not Always about ME (or YOU)- You can be doing your BEST WORK and still have others NOT receive it. You can  do ALL the right things and POUR all your Heart into people and they may still choose to mistrust/question/doubt/create stories about you. We get super discouraged when we make it about US, acting like we are doing it for them. I realized I am not doing it for them or their approval. I am doing it as an act of love and obedience for GOD. And what matters is what HE sees - our HEART.Keep on LOVING - because that’s what LOVE does.GENEROSITY breeds PROSPERITY. Shifting our focus from profit/loss to blessing & outpouring shifted the game for us! We are re-energized in our relationship with money, have taken back stewardship over all resources and are hitting the greatest giving goals in our history.Clear Intentions + Automated Actions = Exponential Results! Faith without works (actions) to back it up is useless. Actions without faith are also useless. But when you combine the two and add automation to accelerate it, watch out! To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612aYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMugWebsite: https://thechristinejewell.com/

What IS the secret sauce to attaining true peace and happiness? Today's conversation is designed to SHIFT your PERSPECTIVE and mental/emotional state any time you need to ‘snap out of it!”At the time of recording, it's the holiday season. With that comes a time of connection, celebration and much needed rest for many…. for others, extreme loneliness, pain and added stress. Perhaps you are finding yourself on an emotional roller coaster this season. It’s easy to get caught up in what’s happening externally - family matters, logistical planning: who’s going where, financial pressures, who is no longer with us, stuff that needs to be bought. Memories that creep up. I was feeling it this morning! There were some heavy things on my heart I needed to work through. The recurring message?Focus on things above, not earthly matters. But WHAT exactly does this mean and how do we shift out of the physical when it’s ALL around us?It's easy to get caught up in the things beyond our control, but this robs us of joy and peace. Colossians 3:2  advise setting our hearts and minds on heavenly things. It's not about some distant future or place way out there; it's about embracing higher consciousness right here - right now, and choosing the operating system of heaven. As we head into the holidays, let's choose love, joy, peace, patience, and faithfulness—being conduits of the currency of heaven here on earth!In todays episode we are unpacking:Celebrating Small Beginnings: The significance of celebrating micro victories every day to build confidence + momentum + perseverance. I’m back on my feet and running again and it feels amazing! (Do not despise small beginnings! Momentum comes faster than you think)Heavenly Currency vs Earthly Currency: The intangible and eternal things that truly bring us life and happiness.Words of Wisdom: What it means to set our hearts and minds on heavenly things, adopting a higher level of consciousness and shifting out of lower level concerns.The psychology of money meets biblical perspectives on true wealth + joy.Actionable Steps to take THIS week!

Today, I want to dive into the incredible power of human connection to bring about healing, transform mental and emotional health, expand our thinking, and break down those tough emotional walls.Coming off our recent Visioneering retreat, I've been reflecting a ton on the incredible experience we had. Going through pictures, reminiscing about the deep conversations, it's just mind-blowing how much healing unfolded over that weekend. If you're feeling armored up, you know you have emotional barriers, are struggling with connection, or just sensing a need for healing, this episode is for you!I'm a firm believer that when two or more gather, there's a supernatural power of healing. Today we are talking about neuroscience, mental health, and emotional health, but I also want to touch on the spiritual aspect of why gathering together is so essential!Matthew 18:20 says, "For where two or more gather in my name, I am there with you." Gathering, sharing, being open and vulnerable creates an undeniable atmosphere of healing. Virtual connections are great, but there's something truly transformative about bringing people together IN person, hugging, sharing stories, and engaging in wisdom circles. The energy and connections that happen in those moments are absolutely priceless!If I am honest, I had a lot of resistance for many years around sharing my authentic self with others. There were just too many wounds and too much evidence that people could not be trusted. Until… I decided to GET OVER that OLD story and create a new one. I was done operating as a LONE WOLF. Feeling isolated and alone. This continues to be my work to this day and it’s why I speak about relationships so often. God used what was my greatest source of pain and turned it into a GIFT I now get to share with others.The incredible power of connection, support, and empathy has been rocket fuel in my life. In group settings, we find strength, normalization of experiences, and a shared journey toward healing. As we open up, share our stories, and connect on a heart-to-heart level, we create a powerful space for compassion and mobilization. In today’s episode we're unpacking:The Power of Human Connection: We're delving into the profound impact that human connection has on healing, mental and emotional well-being, and personal transformation.Breaking Down Emotional Walls: The importance of connection in breaking down tough emotional walls and fostering vulnerability.The Neuroscience Behind Connection: We examine the role of mirror neurons, empathy, oxytocin (the LOVE hormone!), and neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to reorganize information -in the dynamics of human connection and how it positively affects our mindset and well-being.Plus! The Supernatural Power of Gathering: Beyond the scientific perspective, we touch on the spiritual aspect, discussing how gathering in the name of connection can bring about a supernatural power of healing.The collective power of shared wisdom, vulnerability, and genuine connection has the potential to transform lives. So, if you've been feeling the weight of isolation or struggling to break down emotional walls, consider the power that unfolds when humans connect, support, and uplift each other!Thank you for tuning in today!

What's IN a LEGACY? A legacy often thought of as generational wealth or personal property, that is left to future generations. However, beyond the legal and financial contexts, the term LEGACY refers to the lasting impact, influence, or contributions that a person makes during their lifetime, which will continue to have significance and value long after they are gone. YOUR Legacy is essentially what you leave behind as a mark of your existence and the imprint you make on the world!Today I am inviting you to really dig and consider what is the imprint and lasting impact you are leaving on your children, your grandchildren, your employees, community and the world. EACH and every one of us is creating a legacy and each of us will leave one. The question is not IF we are leaving one, but WHAT IT IS. This is the perfect time to reflect, and if necessary REFOCUS ourselves to be more intentional about signature we are leaving on those who  matter most.Today we are unpackingTangible (Physical) Legacy vs Intangible (Eternal)Legacy goes beyond physical assets and includes identity, mental operating systems, models of life, equipping and empowering, cultural heritage and traditions, emotional legacy, and spiritual blessings and curses.Breaking the Mindless passing of the baton vs intentionally planting SEEDS into future generations Reflecting on our own experiences and the legacy we received from those before us to identify key areas for growth and improvement.By focusing on the heart and Spirit, we can create a legacy that is rooted in Love, forgiveness, and healing over ego and wounding!Are you ready to step into the next season of your life, aligning with God's vision?

Welcome back to the show, warriors! Today I am joined by a remarkable guest! Staci Wallace is an eight-time author, speaker who has shared the stage with 5 US presidents, and CEO of a global consulting and training company. I heard Staci speak at a recent engagement and the story of her and her husband Larry blew me away! This woman and couple know what it means to operate by KINGDOM standards! Today she shares her insights into what it means to be "fueled by fire" and how her journey as a kingdom entrepreneur has been shaped by a deep connection to the Holy Spirit. This a MUST listen.Key Takeaways:1: Fueled by Fire Defined:Fueled by fire is being empowered by the Holy Spirit in all aspects of life, including business, marriage, and family.We are called to be a light and representative of a greater kingdom in all endeavors of our lives from work to marriage to day to day living.2: What is Kingdom Entrepreneurship?Kingdom entrepreneurship bases business principles and operations on the foundation of God's word (the playbook), serving a purpose way beyond ego driven affluence, personal gain and establishing one’s ‘own’ empire.Kingdom entrepreneurship involves negotiating on behalf of legacy, stewarding kingdom wealth, and operating under the authority of the Holy Spirit.3: How to Access the Kingdom Economy:Why we are in desperate need for a paradigm shift from the world's economic system to the kingdom's economic system!The game changing power of principles over tactics and strategies - with a focus on heavenly resources, ideas, creativity, and stewardship.4: Walking on Water (without drowning in stress!) :Staci's husband's profound insight emphasizes the challenge of trying to walk on water while carrying the weights of the world's systems.Kingdom entrepreneurs must release the earthly baggage to experience the supernatural connection of heaven on earth.5: The Constitution of Heaven:The Bible is not some outdated book of legalistic rules and old fables. It IS the constitution of heaven, providing instructions for citizenship and understanding the benefits of engaging with the kingdom.Citizenship through a relationship with Jesus grants access to heavenly rights and protection, allowing believers to engage heaven on earth.Notable Quotes:"You cannot walk on water carrying the world's weights." - Larry Wallace"The Bible is the constitution of heaven, written so you would understand citizenship of heaven." - Staci Wallace"Accessing the kingdom economy requires understanding principles over tactics." - Staci WallaceTune in for a transformative journey into the heart of kingdom entrepreneurship!To download Staci's latest book excerpt, go to www.StaciWallace.com/FIRE.Connect with Staci: Website: https://www.staciwallace.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/staciwallaceofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/staciwallace/Are you ready to step into the next season of your life, aligning with God's vision?
