Welcome to another episode on the Grace Filled Leader podcast, where it is my mission to help you become fueled by grace and find freedom from people pleasing so that you can create more time for the things that matter most while elevating your impact as a Christian woman in leadership.
I was in a situation recently that required me to have a rather difficult conversation with a team member, and I wanted to be sure that I approached the conversation with intention and calm, and in such a way that would be less likely to be perceived negatively or go off the rails into an emotional rabbit hole.
I used a 4-step process to approach the conversation and it was very helpful to set up the conversation and reduce the risk of creating a defensive situation. It was useful in ensuring that we ended with a clear direction going forward.
I found this tool so helpful, that I wanted to share it with you. You might want to grab a notebook and pen for this episode because it is very tactical!
I hope this episode blesses you!

Last week we talked about how our mindset can impact our version of the truth, and that the truth that we create in our minds may not be The Truth. So much of the work that I do with clients is around a shift in mindset. When we stop to challenge our thoughts, hold them in the light alongside actual truth, and choose a different way of thinking, it can be life changing. How we experience life is largely due to how we choose to respond to our thoughts and feelings.
I had an unexpected blessing recently that allowed me to practice my coaching skills with one of the most important people in my life. I didn’t think about it in the moment, but after our conversation, I realized…. I just coached my mom! How cool is that. To have the opportunity to influence the most influential person in my life….the woman who birthed and raised me. Sit back and have a listen as I share a bit more about perspective versus truth and how my mom and I blessed each other.
I hope this episode blesses you!

Amidst the chaos and noise of the modern world, the Bible provides a guiding light toward the timeless practice of decluttering. Beyond tidying up physical spaces, the Bible encourages us to embark on an inner journey, clearing the clutter from our hearts and minds. Today I want to explore how biblical principles can serve as a compass for achieving mental and emotional clarity.
Today we are talking about 6 biblical themes that align with the notion of decluttering our hearts and minds.
Simplicity and Contentment
Renewing the Mind
Casting Away Anxieties
Sabath Rest for the Mind
Guarding Your Heart and Mind
Mindfulness in Prayer and Meditation
I hope this episode blesses you!

Is it possible that decluttering is actually divine? Does organizing go beyond the physical and align with biblical principles? Well let’s look first at who we strive to model our lives after. As Christians, we are to seek more and more to live like Jesus. He is our example, our instruction manual for living.
In a world obsessed with accumulation and excess, the life of Jesus stands as a timeless example of simplicity and purpose. Beyond the historical narrative, Jesus' way of life provides a profound blueprint for decluttering—both in physical possessions and, perhaps more importantly, in the realm of the heart and mind. As we delve into the Scriptures, we discover that decluttering is not just a modern fad but a profound and biblical principle embedded in the very essence of Jesus' teachings.
I hope this episode blesses you!

Do you long to have calm amidst the chaos? Do you want to get more consistent with your time with God, or are you in a bit of a dry spell when it comes to studying God’s word? Well today’s episode is for you! I am continuing my conversation with Rosie Alejandro, host of The Intentional Christian Woman Podcast.
Rosie is a Certified Mindset Coach, Educator, and Spiritual Growth Mentor. Through a Bible Study routine, she helps busy Christian women find calm in the chaos. She is the creator and host of The Intentional Christian Woman podcast, a top 1.5 % global podcast.
Rosie believes that to find true inner peace and grow in our faith, we must connect with God daily through His Word. She learned this lesson through her own spiritual walk when, in 2008, she drifted from her faith because she started believing the enemy’s lies and slowly allowed the world's worries to choke her faith and her motivation to be in God’s word. By God’s grace, her faith was restored in 2012 and since then she has developed effective Bible study routines that help her stay in close connection with God.
Rosie believes it is possible to connect with God every day through Bible study, even when time is limited. She loves helping women get focused, energized, motivated, and connected to grow their most important relationship!

The Impact of Mindset:
Our mindset, the mental framework through which we view the world, plays a pivotal role in shaping our reality. A fixed mindset, rooted in inflexible beliefs and a reluctance to entertain alternative perspectives, can limit personal growth and hinder meaningful connections. On the other hand, a growth mindset, characterized by openness, adaptability, and a willingness to learn, fosters resilience and enriches our understanding of the world.
Embracing a growth mindset involves acknowledging that our truth is just one of many possible interpretations. Our truth is not necessarily THE TRUTH. By being open to consider another perspective, we create space for curiosity, empathy, and collaboration, which are essential ingredients for navigating the complexities of the human experience.
Shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset involves intentional efforts to challenge our assumptions and broaden our understanding. Today I am going to share with you 5 practical steps to foster a more open perspective.
I hope this episode blesses you!

If you have grown up in the church or are a practicing Christian, chances are you are familiar with the season of Advent. I remember watching another advent candle being lit during church service each week to represent an aspect of advent. But what is advent, anyway? Do we stop and think about advent in an intentional and meaningful way?
I will speak for myself in saying that I certainly have not done a bang-up job of that over the years. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, I am typically fighting overwhelm and anxiety as I cram in all of the holiday to-dos.
This season, however, I want to be more intentional about studying and thinking about the season of Advent and what it signifies. In today’s episode, I talk about the meaning of advent in a literal and spiritual sense and hopefully leave you with some food for thought as you go about the month of December. I am hoping you will slow down a bit and soak in the gifts of advent.
Stay tuned for today’s dose of soul-care for all you busy boss ladies out there….
I hope this episode blesses you!

Do you want to declutter your mind, schedule and home?
Today I am going to get the ball rolling for an upcoming mission to get organized! I am going to start a series on decluttering and getting organized. We are going to talk about decluttering our mind, decluttering our schedules, and decluttering our homes.
Now, calm down…I can feel you getting a little overwhelmed just thinking about it…. Or maybe that is just me. lol. I know what it is like to be working full time, managing a home and now preparing for the holidays.
We are going to take this in bite sized pieces. We are starting with just talking about the steps that can be applied to every aspect of decluttering and organizing. You might want to grab a notebook and pen for this one!
I hope this episode blesses you!
