My Unusual Life

In today’s episode we talk about the importance of getting your money right. I give my top tips on how I achieved financial freedom, and how you can too! We were created to live in abundance. Contrary to popular belief, God did not put us on this earth to struggle and live paycheck to paycheck. Let’s go live in the financial freedom we were created to live in!

The Bible says “Life and Death are in the power of the tongue.” What are you speaking over yourself and over your love ones daily? Are you speaking life or death? How are you affirming yourself? Are you speaking faith filled words over yourself and over your situation? If you’re not, you should! In today’s episode I teach you the importance of affirmations and affirming yourself daily. It’s how I’ve become the woman I am today. I spoke my life into being!

If I'm being honest, I can say that I REALLY needed to hear this today! Some days we get stuck in the monotony of the world, that we forget our dreams and our goals. And we need our dreams and our goals, they give us drive, passion, and life! They fuel us, the way gas fuels a car. The way good food fuels a body. What goals do you have to dig up because they've been pushed to the side for so long? I know I have tons of goals that I have to revisit. If you're seeing this today, this is a sign from God telling you to get refocused on your goals... To create new goals! Not to let your dreams just air by the wayside... But to pick them up and Go, Go, Go!

Wow! Who knew such a small muscle could have so much power? God knew! He knew that we were made in His image and His likeness. He knew that we are the creator of our own reality and that we create our lives by the words that we speak. If this is true, and it... What things are we creating in our lives!?! Are we creating life or death, blessing or cursing? We were lied t. As children, when we were told ”sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me?” That's an untruth. I'm sure every one of us can think of a negative word that was spoken against us that still hurts to this day. I know I can! Words don't perish. Once we speak them out into the universe, they stay out there. That's why the words can still hurt you. Because there is still power in those words! Be mindful of the words you say, and watch your life begin to change!

We all have to start somewhere right? I'll never forget an interview, Kevin Hart did with Oprah. She asked him ”how does it feel to be an overnight success?” And he answered her by saying ”an overnight success that took 20 years in the making!” You, see he wasn't an overnight success. He had started 20 years before anyone even knew his name. Borrowing clothes from his friends to do gigs in small run-down spots in Philly to make less than a couple of hundred dollars a show. He went from that to selling out stadiums all across the world. Flying in his own private jet none the less. He didn't despise the day of small beginnings, and neither should you! Again, we all have to start somewhere right? 😉

I believe this message is important, especially during today's time. Many of us don't see God has a provider, because we think we are providing for ourselves. But, that couldn't be furthest from the truth. The reason we can provide for ourselves is that God provided first. He provided the job, He provided the wisdom and the favor to get that job. He provided the car to get to work, He provided the ability to work from home. His provision is all in that. We just don't realize He's providing, because we think we are providing for ourselves. God is our Source, and He is still in the ”Providing all our need” business. Ask Him for provision, and watch Him work!

Oh, this is such a big one for me! I am always so hard on myself about everything! And learning to forgive myself is still a constant struggle for me. Sometimes it's easier to forgive others than it is to forgive ourselves, and that's not okay! We have to learn to be more gentle with ourselves and forgiving ourselves, for the things we didn't get right! Life is a journey, full of ups and downs. We’re all moving on this journey at our own pace, and I believe the journey would be a little easier if we just learn to forgive ourselves and move on.

In a dark world, we need your light to shine! I believe during this time people are awakening to who God called them to be... And we need that! We need that part of you, the part that no one else on this plant can give us! Don't dim your light, let your light shine!

Okay, well this lit a fire under me this morning! Nike, had the right thought in mind when they created this slogan! I'm a BIG planner, so I'll make a plan for the plan I made yesterday. LOL... True story! But, sometimes we have to JUST DO IT! No planning, no overthinking. Just do it! What is that thing you've been putting off that you need to Just Do!?! If this resonates with you, as it resonates with me, I suggest you Just Do It!

I had a guy friend some years ago that introduced me to the ”Reset Button”. He had a very high stressed job, and one day he was super overwhelmed about work. And with all these things on his shoulders, he said in his most calm voice ”It’s time to hit the reset button!” In that moment, I watched this man with all this stress and anxiety on him, transition to this calm, cool, collective person in under a minute. He had mentally hit the reset button. He reset, readjusted, refocused, and restarted his thought process about the situation. What do you need to hit the reset button on today?

Can all my independent people stand up!! Okay, now sit down... It's time out for independence. LOL! Just kidding! God doesn't mind us being independent, He created us that way. He just doesn't want us to be independent of Him! He wants to take the wheel and lead us and guide us to the extraordinary life He has for us! Let's put down our independence long enough to allow God to lead us and direct us on the way we should go!

Okay, so if I’m being honest I totally got away from this being a part of my morning routine. And I can say for sure, that I feel the difference in my day! Checking in with God, Source, Universe whatever your name is for Him, doesn't have to be this daunting task that you have to do. It could be a quick 10-minute chat while you're in the shower before your day begins. Thanking Him for a new day, telling Him how much you love Him. Asking Him for guidance throughout the day. Asking for favor and blessings. Whatever that looks like for you. I encourage you to try it, I believe your life will forever change!

This is an oldie but goodie! With everything that is going on in the world right now, it's important for us to focus on the road ahead. Focus on what comes after this. Focus on our dreams and goals again. This awful pandemic won't last always... And we should be focusing on what's next!

I LOVE the subject of thoughts! And I believe with all my heart that we are a sum total of the thoughts we think. If a person is always thinking of themselves as broke, busted and disgusted, there is no way they could ever live a life of prosperity. If a woman is always thinking ”there are no good men out there.” Chances are, she will never find a good man. You are what you think! So what have you been thinking about!?!

During these times of uncertainty, it is easy to feel like we are failing in life. But, this is simply not true! Times are uncertain, but one thing is certain... God has success planned in your future. He intends for you to win!

Creating a good self-care practice during these times of social distancing and insolation is one of the best things we could do for ourselves. I don't know about you, but I fully intend to come out of this thing better and stronger than I was when I went in!

This is a biggie for sooooooo many of us! You know life happens, and sometimes during ”life happening” we forget who we are. We forgot how strong, powerful, and resilient we are. And today’s podcast is just a reminder to say ”Remember Who You Are!” The true, authentic you!

Affirming yourself to yourself is another awesome way of reminding you of you! Tongue twister right?!? But, it's true. It's reminding the authentic you, of who you really are! ~ KRB

Oh, this is a big one for me. I love to share what's going on in my life. Sometimes I feel like I overshare. LOL! However, knowing when to share and when not to share is crucial, as we phase into this next chapter in our lives.

As we move into this next season in our lives, we must and I repeat, must let go of the things that aren't serving us. If we don't, we will continue to down the same path that we’ve traveled over and over again. Today, dins one thing that you can let go of!
