Sometimes God sends us through a stretching season in order to launch us into our purpose and expand our lives.

Have you ever felt claustrophobic in your own body... almost as if you can break out at any time?

Well friend, it may be time for you to Expand.

In this episode we will be discussing why the discomfort of the "stretching seasons" can catapult us to walk in our God-given identities. Also a few self-evaluation strategies I use during my pre-birthday month reflection.

Expansion requires us to come out of hiding and push beyond our comfort zones. Are you ready to expand?

How do you respond when "Life Happens", insurmountable storms hit you, your family, and your business all at once, what is your default response? Often times, we find ourselves in the Booked, Busy, and Broken cycle and burnout, because we missed the opportunity to pause and reflect on what our storms may be teaching us.

You may be experiencing a loss of a loved one, job, relationship, or identity, whatever it is, it's worth exploring through slowing down.

What would happen if you surrendered your primal need to "push through" and instead, allowed for this divine detour to help you pause and recalibrate.

This episode, we're discussing how to prevent the Booked, Busy, and Broken cycle through learning the power of the pause.

Of course, I'm going to share a little bit about how "Life was Being Life" for me these past few weeks, and the many revelations I received in my pause.
