    End of Season One of Wait on Purpose Podcast Just wanted to say thank you to all my guest on Season One of Wait on Purpose, a podcast created to encourage single women how to optimize, build and heal through their season of singleness strategically. It's not only about becoming who you want to attract but becoming the best version of yourself for yourself and those you were put on this earth to serve. Everyone ushered in some beautiful energy on the show and I appreciate our connection. One thing I did before every show was pray with the guests. I wanted to protect the energy and positive intent of my show. I also asked each guest to share what God means to them. I have composed a compilation of each response. Let me say...its very powerful and inspiring to listen to what each guest shared. I learned something from everyone who graced this platform. Thanks again for allowing me in this space with you. I wish you all so much abundance, prosperity and success in all of your future endeavors. We're part of something WAY BIGGER! God bless you all. Love, Peace and Light! Season Two is in full effect starting in July/August 2020. An entirely new direction! If you are looking to promote your services, products or expertise and would like to become a guest on this show.

    Ep: 28: Self-Sabotage
    Feb 6 2020
    ****Appetizer Course**** Of course you want to show up in this world as the BEST VERSION of yourself. You have goals, hopes and dreams but what is holding you back and keeping you from reaching what you know is good for you? What if I told you, YOU are getting in your own way would you be able to accept that? In this episode I touch on a few of the common reasons why you haven’t reached that long standing goal and one reason is FEAR. Fear of failure, fear of the opinions of others and maybe the fear of success. Yes! Success! When these fears come up we use a defense mechanism that is known as SELF-SABOTAGE. Self: an individual's typical character or behavior Sabotage: deliberately destroy, damage, or obstruct (something or someone) Self Sabotage is not deliberate, its subconscious and we're going to go over What is Self-sabotage? Why do we self sabotage? What are some of the behaviors associated with it and most importantly How do we overcome it? ************************************************** Check out my Blog on Self Sabotage: www.steppinguptotheplateoflife.com/single-post/2019/08/28/Self-Sabotage-Recognizing-and-Overcoming-It

    Ep: 25: Raising Financially Savvy Children
    Jan 23 2020
    ****Salad Course**** As parents we understand the importance of teaching our children about sex and drugs, we teach them how to be a team player by putting them into sports. We teach them responsibility by giving them chores but why do we shy away from teaching our children about budgeting, compound interest, investing and healthy money management? Money management is not one of those kitchen table conversations. It's a mindset that starts young. Money Management wasn’t something I was taught at a young age. I knew how to earn it but I didn’t have an ounce of knowledge about growing it and saving it. By the time I was 21 years old, my credit was poor and I adopted poor money skills that became second nature to me. If I knew at least half of the things I know now growing up, It would’ve prevented so much headaches, stress and mistakes I’ve made in my adult life concerning my finances. As parents its our responsibility to lay the foundation of healthy money management habits for our children. Every step they take or choice they make from high school to college to retirement will be influenced by how they manage their money In this episode i discuss a few seeds we can sow into our children about money, as young as the age of 3, that has the potential to grow them into financially savvy and healthy young adults.
