54. REDEEM Your Time and Live Your ”WITH-GOD” Life with Lissa Figgins. ⌛

Today we have a special guest! Lissa Figgins, host of the REDEEM Her Time podcast is joining us.  Lissa shares all kinds of wisdom when it comes to prioritizing your time in a way that allows you to live your best “With-God” Life.  
 
In today’s episode, we talk about discerning when to say yes and when to say no to things that demand our time.  Lissa talks to us about giving things our “Best Yes” or a grace-filled “no”. 
 
Lissa and I align so much on our philosophy around time management starting with our hearts and being built on a foundation of faith.  Lissa shares about the importance of pouring from a full cup. 
 
Lissa’s mission is to inspire & equip busy Christian women to be more present with who + what matters most and to make the best use of your time in this season...and in light of eternity 
 
What she loves most is helping women discover that by creating a WITH-God life and REDEEMING your time, you really do have all the time you need for all you are called to.
 
I know this episode will bless you!

53. Take This First Step to Create the Time and the Life You Want.

Do you have a vision of what you wish your life would look like?  If not, why not?  Do you think the life you want is impossible to have? Today we are talking about the first step in creating the life you want to be living.
 
 Today I am going to walk you through a little vision-casting exercise.  This is a very important step in opening the door to the life God has waiting for you.  This is best done with notebook and pen and in a quiet place.
 
Friends, I encourage you to just take time to create a God-sized vision for your life.   Use that vision as a reference point to gauge your actions, decisions and priorities.
 
Taking time to create this vision can bring such a sense of hope, peace and purpose.  It also allows you to feel what it would mean to live that dream and what it would mean if you never did. 
 
Tune in with a journal and a pen because this is a very tactical episode!
 
I hope this episode blesses you!

52. 4 Ways to Live and Lead with a Boldness of Faith.

Hello my Stellas!
 
Last week I went with my family to see the Sound of Freedom movie.  If you haven’t seen it, I would highly encourage you to do so.  The degree to which the enemy tried to keep this movie from ever making it into theaters is astonishing!  All major film outlets were refusing to release it.  BUT GOD! 
 
I believe people are hungry for truth, justice and honor and they are using their voices and their dollars to say so. 
 
I walked away from that movie thinking, “WOW…now that is an example of being BOLD in your faith, regardless of the risk!”  Today, that is what we are talking about…  what it means to be bold in your faith when it comes to your work life.   
 
Are we willing to follow God’s call on our lives regardless of the risk?  Are we ready to be bold in our faith and be uncompromising in our values, even when it goes against the grain or is unpopular?
 
I am nowhere near as courageous as the Tim Ballards and Jim Caviezels of the world, but I am waking up to some of the ways in which I can be more courageous when it comes to standing firmly on God’s truth.  I wanted to share a few examples of what that looks like for me and what it might look like for you, specifically in your professional lives.
 
I hope this episode blesses you!

51. The Secret to Keeping My Email Inbox EMPTY! 🤩

Hey Sister Friends,
 
How many of you use your email inbox as your rolling to do list? 
 
Anything you might need to reference or come back and do something with just sits in your email in box.  Now you have hundreds or thousands of emails accumulating, so you forget to go back and finish something you intended to do, or you miss an important email because it gets lost in the shuffle.  Sound familiar?
 
Do you dread coming back from vacation because you have to dig through the hundreds of new messages plus all of the old messages that probably have something in them that you were supposed to do? 
 
Well….that used to be me but no more my friends!
 
Have a listen as I share some of the secrets to keeping my inbox empty!
 
I hope this episode blesses you!

50. Having Mom Guilt as a Busy Professional Woman? 3 Steps to Break Free from the Guilt.

Do you ever feel Mom-guilt as a professional woman?  Do you worry that you are not giving your kids the time and attention they deserve because you work full-time?   Do you sometimes feel envy or resentment toward women who have chosen and are able to be stay-at-home moms?  Maybe you can’t be the classroom helper, the field trip chaperone or make it to every single event for your children and you worry they are going to be negatively impacted by that. 
 
How about this one…your career is really important to you and you feel guilty that you don’t want to be a stay-at-home mom.   You impose guilt upon yourself because you “should” want to be with your kids 100% of the time instead of pursuing your career goals…   
 
Or maybe you have to work full time in order to provide for your family, but you worry that you aren’t able to do both roles well.   It’s important to you to be a great mom and a great worker, and you somehow feel like the two are mutually exclusive. 
 
 Are you now an empty nester and realizing that you worked so hard that you didn’t spend the time you wish you would have with your kids when they were younger?   
 
Well, today we are going to dig in to this topic and speak truth over it.  Turn up the volume, my guilt-ridden mammas, cuz you need to hear this word today!!
 
I hope this episode blesses you!

49. Feeling Guilty About Taking Time Away From Your 9 to 5? Not Today Satan!

Hey, Friend!
 
Summer is the time of year when many of us like to take a bit more time away from work.  But let me ask you this, do you feel guilty when you take time off from your 9 to 5?  Do you worry about what your team will think?  Do you worry about how much work will be waiting for you when you get back?  I know what that is like, but today we are going to cover that stinky nonsense in some of God’s wonderfully fragrant and life-giving truth! 
 
For decades, I allowed that stinky thinking rob me and my family of time…time spent together, but more often even if together, time spent in which I was able to be present.  If I wasn’t physically at work, chances are I was thinking about work, feeling anxious about work, or checking emails to try to avoid feeling anxious about work (which of course had the opposite effect).  It really was all self-imposed.  I placed that pressure on myself.  Well, this past year, all praise to God, I am finding real freedom from that guilt.
 
Guilt over taking time away… Not Today Satan!
 
I hope this episode blesses you!

48. Lacking Confidence in Your Leadership Skills? Try These 5 Things.

Do you want the confidence to lead “like a boss”?  Today’s episode is kind of about “Leading Like a Boss”, only not.   In my opinion, leaders are leaders, and that is not the same as being a boss…. But we want to lead well…   Part of leading well means building confidence.   That is difficult to do, especially if you are new to leadership or if you are a perfectionist, people-pleaser, high-achiever, etc. 
 
So how do you go about building confidence in your leadership?  Today we are talking about a few places to start.   We talk about the importance of self-investment and self-awareness, developing emotional intelligence and learning from other leaders. 
 
If you are anything like me, building confidence as a leader is a journey…a journey I am still on.
 
 
I hope this episode blesses you!

47. Freedom Friday: What Does Freedom Mean to My Kiddos?

Happy Friday, Friends!
 
Today is a little divergence from our typical episodes.  I sit down for a little conversation with my 20-somethings to get their perspective on freedom and faith.  It is a rare occasion in which we are all under one roof for the week as we celebrate our country's Independence Day.   In the hustle and bustle of raising babies, I never imagined how very much I would miss and cherish every minute with them.  Tune in for a casual conversation about faith and freedom with my favorite human beings on the planet!

46. What Does Freedom Mean to You? 6 Ways I am Living Free in 2023.

In honor of Independence Day, which is tomorrow if you are listening to this episode when it publishes, I wanted to pop in to talk a little bit about Freedom, what it means to me, and what it means in my daily life and leadership.
 
We start with a little history lesson, but then we get into a few personal freedoms I find myself enjoying this 49th year of mine.  It is sometimes the simple things in life that bring about the greatest sense of freedom.
 
Midlife, in partnership with God, is showing me freedoms I never would have imagined experiencing had you asked me in the not-so-distant past.
 
Pull up your lawn chair and have a listen my friends!
 
 
I hope this episode blesses you!

45. God Calls Us to Manage Our Time. ⏳

In Monday’s episode #44, we talked about a few strategies to learn how to reduce burnout by leaving work at work.  It starts with God and it includes time management and a shift in our thinking.  And guess what…   The bible backs this up. 
 
Putting God first is something we are clearly instructed to do.   Therefore, it only makes sense for me to start my day in communion with him.   If morning does not bring out the best version of you to spend time with Him, then put it as a #1 priority item, but schedule it when and where you are able to give him your attention.  Regardless of where you schedule it, treat it as priority #1.
 
Make no mistake, God intended for us to work and to do good work.  But he also intends for us to rest in Him and to use our time wisely for His purposes. 
 
The more time we spend in God’s word, understanding his will for our lives, the more we grow in wisdom as to what is worth saying “yes” to and what isn’t. 
 
 
If Jesus is our example for living, and God is the source of all wisdom, doesn’t it make complete sense that He is the first place we need to start when looking at how to lead our most productive and present life? 
 
I hope this episode blesses you!
