    Have you ever felt lost in the chaos of life, yearning for peace and renewal? Join me as I share personal insights on transforming our mindset by embracing acceptance. Through the practice of seeing beauty in our surroundings, from the grandeur of nature to the simplicity of everyday objects, we can find a sense of calm amidst the storm. Inspired by the timeless wisdom of Genesis, this episode explores how focusing on gratitude and what is rather than what isn't can open doors to recovery and new opportunities. It’s a journey of anchoring ourselves spiritually and allowing that foundation to guide us through life's challenges, while emphasizing the importance of centering ourselves in the present.

    This conversation is a call to embody the light within, and find peace grounded in our true identity and purpose. Embarking on this journey of acceptance may just be the key to experiencing a state of perfect peace, offering a renewed perspective on what it means to live a fulfilling life.

  • Stop Overthinking in Your Life

    Ever find yourself tangled in analysis, trying to decode every instruction and intention before taking action? Join me, Shontra Powell, as I navigate through Mark 8:15-21 from the New King James Version of the Bible, where Jesus’s interaction with his disciples offers a profound lesson in trust and faith. Through a personal lens, I share how this passage challenges our habitual reasoning tendencies and invites us to embrace the simplicity of divine guidance without overthinking. This episode resonates deeply with those of us who are accustomed to dissecting every detail, offering a fresh perspective on the value of surrendering to faith and trusting a wisdom that surpasses our understanding.

    In this reflection, we explore the significance of Jesus's questions to his disciples, urging them—and us—to recall past personal miracles (indescribable and undeniable events) and trust in the process. I reflect on my own journey of moving from constant analysis to a place of obedience and faith, highlighting the humbling realization that not every instruction requires our full comprehension, just our trust. For anyone who identifies as a critical thinker, this discussion is a call to action to step back, let go of the need to reason everything, and find peace in simply following divine instruction.

    This is applicable in our personal and professional journey, as we are called and led. Tune in for a thought-provoking and engaging conversation that encourages us to let go and fully embrace faith.

    How often do we find ourselves juggling life's responsibilities, only to realize we're neglecting our own well-being? Today, I share my personal journey of balancing expanded responsibilities and stepping into a caregiver role, leading to an epiphany about the critical need for self-care. We delve into the essence of Proven Not Perfect and why staying true to my voice and the core intent of the podcast matters more than ever. In this conversation, I share my practical ideas on self-care, its evolving significance as we age, and the necessity of creating purposeful practices that nurture our mind, body, and spirit.

    Let’s talk practical tips: ever wondered how a physical calendar could revolutionize your self-care routine? I reveal my weekly habit of transferring tasks from my digital calendar to a physical one, a simple yet profound practice that brings clarity and reduces overwhelm. I’m eager to share these insights with you.
