Ep. 79 | Grace Gives the Shovel, But You Have to Dig

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm talking about what happened after my first EMDR session - and what my spiritual advisor Juliana said that completely reframed how I think about grace and action.  I share how I was giving all the credit to the universe when really, I was the one who picked up the shovel and started digging. We'll explore why grace gives us the opportunity, but action is what makes it real. Question to carry into your day: Where in your life has grace handed you a shovel - and are you digging, or are you just staring at it? Want to chat about working together? Me too!
