68: How To Disable The Handcuff Feature On Your Phone 32:47

3y ago32:47

32:47

A message I have been feeling and hearing most recently revolves around my cell phone and the idea that takes control of our lives like handcuffs! But, these particular handcuffs are self-inflicted because we are making the choice to have our hands on our phones. To "handcuff” means to make ineffective or powerless. What else does our phone make in…

“If the Devil can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.” My business coach shared with me on a coaching call recently. My word for the year is “listen.” You may know that I LOVE talking.

22:33

If you know my story, you know that, as a former athlete, I am competitive. I have always been competitive with others, but also with myself. I love working hard being better than I was yesterday.
