Embrace Your ‘Culture Add’: Turn What Makes You Different Into Your Superpower 10:35

16 weeks ago10:35

In a time where AI is everywhere and businesses are blending in, your greatest asset is YOU. Your story, your culture, your experiences—these are the things no algorithm can replicate. In this video, I talk about the concept of your 'Culture Add,' as defined by Danielle Leslie, and why the very things you think make you "too different" are exactly what the world needs. It's easy to feel like what makes you unique is a barrier to success, but in reality, it’s your superpower. Your quirks, your background, your perspective—they make you relatable and allow you to connect with your audience on a human level. Whether you're building a business, creating content, or just trying to find your place in the world, leaning into your humanness will make you stand out in an age of artificial sameness. So, how can you turn your story into your greatest strength? Watch/listen to find out. COACHING & COURSES https://itstartswiththedream.com/coaching/…

SEE THE FUTURE (THE VISION) WITH EYES OF FAITH 20:32

20 weeks ago20:32

We can learn a lot from Elijah and the cloud the size of a fist in regards to how to see the vision before us with a sense of faith. In this mini study/devotional/teaching? (I'm not quite sure what to call it, it's my first time in creating one!) we will look at a few Bible passages and see what we can learn about faith and perceiving things spiritually not just physically. I've called it 'seeing the future' with eyes of faith but it's not about forecasting but perceiving what God is doing and showing us. I say perceive because hearing God and seeing what he's doing can entail all our senses like touch, sight, smell, sound and even taste!

What to do when you have a bad day 12:38

In this video podcast I want to talk about managing mental health during difficult times, specifically focusing on how to cope with bad days and weeks. A few weeks ago, I experienced a particularly bad day. This rough patch stemmed from some unresolved health issues that I thought were behind me but resurfaced unexpectedly. This led to a period of low mood and increased anxiety. For those of you who don't know, I've battled postnatal depression and anxiety. While these feelings still surface from time to time, I've learned ways to support myself and continue working towards my dreams. On this particularly bad day, I struggled to maintain my usual self-care routines. I broke my boundaries, sought comfort in unhelpful habits like excessive TV watching and unhealthy eating, and felt overwhelmed with emotions. I cried on and off throughout the day, even while out and about. It was tough, but I came out of that lull and wanted to share some thoughts that could help you.

I haven't told you everything.. in the goal setting gap I experience miracles 6:03

1 year ago6:03

6:03

God meets us in the gap. I've been looking at the dreams of my life and the steps and journey of how they came to be. I realised I'd unintentionally not really talked about the bit I couldn't explain. The God part, the miracle or the divine. Well I'll be sharing the whole thing with you going forward. I realised I probably hadn't touched on the God part because I'd been focused on sharing repeatable steps, the how to, the practical. And how do you teach people a miracle? But the God part has been a big part of all the bigger goals and some seemingly small and mundane things. So I'll share the whole shebang, having dreams, turning them into goals, making plans and supporting yourself with routines, mindset and more. But I'll also share on leaving room for the divine. Having those big dreams and goals even when on paper they don't look possible. Writing down and committing to the dream in your heart that you have no idea on how to make possible. I really think that when we dream and decide and start to move towards our goal something mysterious can happen that brings a new solution, a way forward suddenly becomes possible!

Do you feel down and unmotivated or frustrated like you’re spinning your wheels? If so, this episode is just for you. I’ll be sharing 2 lies we’re believing that will have us stuck and feel hopeless and what we can do to dismantle them so we feel inspired, encouraged and get back into taking action! When you’re having a bad day or week it’s easy to think about all the things that aren’t working out. Our brains have a bias to focus and remember the negative things. You may have even made great progress on your goal but if something negative happens it’s our human tendency to focus solely on what just happened that went wrong. When you’re feeling like this, 2 thoughts or lies have likely come to mind. Is the thought or belief that nothing ever changes, I’ll never make changes and reach my goals I never change, I’ll never think, act or believe differently. Both of these are not true and all it takes is a shift in our focus! Was this helpful? Like, subscribe and share! Want more content like this?

Inner healing and forgiveness - processing childhood hurts that are causing blocks or resistance from achieving your goals 21:22

2 years ago21:22

21:22

Inner healing and forgiveness - processing childhood hurts that are causing blocks or resistance from achieving your goals In this episode I share about my experience of having a Christian based RMR session (Rapid Mindset Renewal) to process and face childhood painful experiences that are affecting me as an adult. We all go through hard, painful or traumatic experiences as a child, our minds then create a story which we subconsciously hold through to adulthood. We don't always realise that childhood experiences are affecting us and causing blocks or resistance as we try to design our lives and go for our goals. RMR which also comes in non religious forms or more spiritual based forms really is about uncovering the subconscious thoughts and feelings around particular childhood or past hurtful experiences then healing and processing them so they don't affect us anymore. You can also do this work by being curious about the challenges you face or the resistance you feel to taking action on your dreams. What's going on? What am I feeling in my body? What are the thoughts in my mind? When did I first feel like this? Was there an incident that I felt the same feeling? What happened? Was the story/meaning I assigned to that situation true? What would I say now to that child or younger version of me feeling and experiencing that? What meaning do I choose or does my God tell me is true, that I choose to assign today that empowers me? I hope sharing my story helps you uncover some things that have held you back and start the journey of healing. If you aren't sure what you want form your life then I created Design Your Dreams to help other women do just that! https://itstartswiththedream.com/design-your-dreams/…
