About this episode
Did you know the number one reason people stop chasing their dreams is because of DISAPPOINTMENT?!And let’s be honest, IT’S A REAL THING. Ask me how I know… If you have ever felt the sting of loss, failure, rejection, hurt, and/or pain of any kind, you know exactly what I’m talking about. It can be debilitating,
overwhelming, and ultimately can stop you from chasing the dreams God’s given you. In this week’s lesson, I invited a special guest who BLOWS THIS TOPIC OUT OF THE WATER. Cindy Smith is an overcomer in so many ways, having beat the pain of the loss of her daughter, brother, mother, and father, she is a champion for heaven in so many ways. In this lesson, Cindy invites you into her healing journey, she breaks down the steps to overcome the disappointment, she brings the Bible to life, and she gives YOU a few keys to unlock the pain so you can live free. So join me and my special guest today as we help you DREAM DESPITE DISAPPOINTMENT.

- 4How to Stop Being a Perfectionist and People PleaserAre you someone who struggles with perfectionism? You know, you’re the one who needs everything to be “perfect” before you start? Are you someone who struggles with the need to please everyone? You know, you’re the one who feels like you need to make everyone happy? Far too many people not only struggle with perfectionism and people pleasing, but they also identify with being one… “I am a perfectionist.”“I am a people pleaser.” Though you may believe you are doing this out of love and care for people, you’re actually doing it because of fear… And today, I am walking you through DIVINE REVELATION that will set you free from being who you think you are so you can be who God has called you to be! Because no perfectionist or people pleaser ever manifested heaven on earth… or made the “impossible” possible… or hit world records. And I can prove it to you. So join me today as we override our need to perfect and please so we can be liberated to live FREE. DARE TO DREAM Highlight Reel - https://youtu.be/063JrHKvukYARE YOU READY TO BECOME A DREAMER?

- 5Living Present is Not the AnswerWho doesn’t want to live more present? We all do and yet, even after countless books and a never ending list of podcasts with how to’s, we still aren’t living more present and the anguish of guilt and shame only continues. I have a hunch as to why this is happening and what we can do to change it. Tony Robbins says, “The quality of our questions determines the quality of our answers” so I would like to propose to you that “being more present” shouldn’t be our aim. It shouldn’t be the goal. And today, I give you a quick, simple target to focus on to not only live more present but to live more fulfilled.
- 6Parent Yourself || What Makes Great Parents GreatLet’s be honest, parenting is HARD. What’s also hard is ADULTING. And what’s even hardest of all is ADULTING while PARENTING. Can I get an “amen”?! What’s funny about parenting, adulting, and parenting while adulting is that it’s also not complex… and in fact, it’s really simple. It’s as simple as subscribing to our own lessons. You know, those things we are telling our kids that we really should be telling ourselves… “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you… “Too much of a good thing is not a good thing…“Eat your veggies…“Maybe if you take a nap, you will be kinder and more fun to be around…But let’s be honest. That’s all HARD to do so today, I come today to provide you with a tool to help you parent well. NOTE: This is NOT a lesson in perfect parenting… that’s completely overrated. It is, however, a lesson in helping YOU be the best parent YOU can be.
- 7What Stops You From Living Your Dreams?The number one question I get asked is: What stops people from living their dreams? And the number one answer I get from the peanut gallery is: ME! I get in my own way. I’d like to propose to you that YOU are not getting in your own way, nor are you “the thing” stopping you from living your dreams. AND, neither is a lack of money, a lack of time, the economy, your past, your ex, or even the neighborhood naysayer. And today, I share with you THE THING UNDER THE THING that is actually getting in your way and stopping you from living your dreams. Keep in mind, this isn’t the easiest topic to hear so I did get all dressed up for you! Something’s gotta be pretty right?! Come on dreamers, we can do hard things!
- 8When the American Dream Isn’t the Dream AnymoreHave you ever felt successful and yet, not fulfilled? Have you ever found yourself asking, “Is there something more?!” Yea. Me too. And lemme tell you, it’s an overly depressing place to be. Especially after doing “all the things” we’re told to do… get a job, be successful, buy the house and the cars, have the 2.5 kids, check all the boxes… aaaaaaannnnnndddddd, then what? Why am I not happy? Why do I not feel fulfilled?! If this is you, I’m here to tell you today that there IS hope and there IS more!!!
- 9Dreaming with GodAre YOU dreaming with God? Have you ever considered what that would look like or what that even means?What could be possible?Well, what if I told you that as a believer one of our core purposes is to dream with God? To actually bring heaven to earth? Matthew 13:11 says, “You’ve been given the intimate experience of insight into the hidden mysteries of the realm of heaven’s kingdom… for everyone who listens with an open heart will receive progressively more revelation.”So the question then becomes: Is this true for you? Are you receiving insight into mysteries? Are you bringing heaven to earth? Is your heart open? And for too many, the unfortunate answer is no. Today I share with you a few roadblocks that could be keeping you from dreaming with God, a few “identify shifts” if you will, that we all need to consider if we want to live a life dreaming with God!!
