Speak life into yourself with Chauntae GoldHave you ever been put in a situation where you were forced to do something that didn’t ring true to you?

You can live many lives in one life. I LOVE this message so much…this statement has really given me the freedom to choose, to change, to go where my heart and my compass leads me.And I would say that this mindset describes my own career path—I’ve switched career paths several times now and each of these experiences have only made my ability to adapt greater, my perspective that much richer…but the transition and the change itself n...2021-04-0249 minThe Vibrant Introvert11. My relationship with stress with Martha SmithOk, let’s play a little game.What is the first thing you think of when you think of the word…”stress?” For me it’s…the word… “tightness”… or the phrase, “too much on my plate.” Or the image of my son Matthew screaming at me at 6AM in the morning because he doesn’t “always want to put on new underwear!” It’s that time I didn’t finish a report until the night before, staying up late to get it done. It’s this memory I have sitting in church, waiting to read a story to the congregation and droppi...2021-04-0248 minThe Vibrant Introvert10. When you try to change a person with Tayler GowanDo you ever look at other people’s family and wonder, how the hell do they get along so well? They look so happy. They seem to get along…I bet they go on skiing holidays and wear matching sweaters.And then, do you compare them to your family?I’ve caught myself thinking: “If only they would change…then we’d finally get along.”I’d hazard to say that this line of thinking is common because… I’ve thought it a time or two.And this type of thinking that your mind loves...2021-03-2545 min

Finding value when everyday is the same with Courtney BiltonSee if you can guess what movie I’m referring to…Bill Murray is asleep in bed, covers pulled up to his chin and then the camera pans to the alarm clock. The clock’s number flips from 5:59 to 6:00 AM.
