In this episode I spill the beans on extensive research I’ve done on quantum leaps and break it down into 5 steps you can take now to make a quantum leap this year in your goals.

Who do you have to be today to achieve your dreams?  As we enter a fresh new year, perhaps you are revisiting your goals or setting new ones. That’s exactly what my Faith Activated Journaling community and I have been doing. This prompt was a juicy one that really got me digging deep into a belief I discovered lurking in my subconscious.   Then to take it even deeper, I heard my friend Marshawn say “If you believe it, you’ll build it. If you doubt it, you’ll delay it.” Phew! That really resonated as I journaled about who I need to be today to achieve my dreams.  It’s honestly not so much about the incident as it is about giving ourselves permission to challenge your beliefs. The sooner we all become vulnerable enough to examine our beliefs, the sooner we can step into the version of ourselves that makes our goals possible. If you want to start 2021 off strong, listen in!  3 Reasons You Should Listen to Today's Episode  You are worthy of being in rooms with people “ahead” of you because you

Are you open to have a conversation with someone who has judged you before deciding your feelings?   Reality is, we’re all being judged and we are all judging on the daily. The question is, how are we going to let those judgments affect us?  This episode is a followup after I got feedback about a livestream I did. She said I should word things different if I’m trying not to judge. It’s honestly not so much about the incident as it is about giving ourselves permission to resist the need to be accepted by everybody. The sooner we all accept judging is happening all the time, the better we will be when we can say “so what.” Then we can move on to having meaningful conversations.   3 Reasons You Should Listen to Today's Episode  You find receiving judgment hard and feel like it really affects your thoughts and actions.  You’re tired of walking on eggshells because of what other people say or you think they’ll say.

How would you rate yourself on keeping your word to yourself?  I’ll be honest with you: I’m not a high-performance executioner. I am fantastic at planning, creating strategies, and organizing my ideas. But executing at a high level… it’s a struggle bus. Can you relate?
