Revolutionary Rising035: No one wants you to be perfectThis episode is perfect in all the imperfect ways. We all hold onto this thought, even a little bit whether you are a revolutionary leader or not, that to be the BEST at anything, we must be perfect in all of the ways. Not only is this complete BS… It’s exhausting! Let’s get real together, perfectionism isn’t a damn thing.

Revolutionary Rising032: you give too much, sibRevolutionary leadership is NOT synonymous with overgiving! Regardless of the season, overgiving is never in. We are chatting all about the ‘why’ of overgiving. You may ask yourself, how do I regulate my giving when I want to serve and give to as many people as possible? We are diving into giving at our own expense, serving when it is not the best thing for us, when we have other needs, when we are at our capacity. Overgiving does not equate to being a revolutionary leader. This may come off as shocking, praised leaders are noted...2021-12-0222 min
