There's one word I've been hearing over and over. It has been sticking out to me. I've heard it in songs, people have said it, the name of my church is this... AWAKEN Hillsong recently released an album and the song "Awake my Soul" has been playing on repeat in my home. My church is called Awakening International. I watched a documentary movie on Youtube called "Sheep Among Wolves Vol. 2" and they talk about the awakening of the people of Iran starting an underground church and it's rapidly growing. INCREDIBLE! You must watch it!

I recently returned home (less than a week ago!) from an unforgettable experience all because I sent a cold email 2 months ago. I put myself out there and told whoever was at the other end of the email who I was- a life coach and athletic trainer passionate about helping others find their identity in Jesus. Within 24 hours I received a reply asking me if I could get on a phone call as soon as possible. This was the beginning of an answer to my prayer I didn't know I needed.

Surround Yourself with People Who Make You Better
You are like the 5 people you surround yourself with. Who are you surrounded by? Are they challenging you and pushing you to become the best version of yourself? Do they inspire you to be better?

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Are you a part of a team? Whether you are an athlete on a sports team or an employee a part of a work team, working together does create the dream. I've been playing volleyball since I was 12.

After graduating it was hard not having that team dynamic, but then I realized I'm a part of a team in many aspects of my life. I'm on a team at work, when I go on mission trips, and even when I...

Don't Stop at Your Goal
Many people set goals for themselves, but once they hit that goal they stop. I read in the book “Atomic Habits” that we should create systems. Yes, it’s good to have a place in mind you want to be, however, this isn’t the finish line. When you are living your life, you are never at the finish line. There is always an opportunity to grow, to learn, to improve. If you hit a goal, keep going, don’t stop. Two episodes I mention: Moving Your Body Morning Routine (Episode 030)

Pressure to Perform as an Athlete
Athletes have a strong work ethic. They are determined, motivated (for the most part- even if they do complain sometimes), driven. There is a lot of pressure to perform well. This meaning, you must be perfect or you get pulled. There’s pressure from coaches, teammates, yourself. This is different from doing your best. I think doing your best is all you can do, but some of us try to push it too far and that’s when injury happens and burnout occurs. Please always do your best. Always push yourself to be bett...
