For most the first thing that comes to mind is money. Fear and or longing to do the “right” thing with their money. This is wise, and one of my favorite topics BUT might I propose stewardship as something much much deeper…
Stewardship just so happens to be one of the 6 CORE VALUES of Leading Ladies that lead to WHOLENESS.
This work affects generations.
You will NEVER be the same. Those are big promises that I stand behind them I million percent! I have proof from current members and from my own life! I feel so compelled and am so convicted in making sure you know what I’m offering here.
“I help God’s LEADING LADIES walk in the reality of WHOLENESS now without fear of yesterday’s limitations holding them back ever again.”

Verse- “Now you understand that I have imparted to you all my authority to trample over his kingdom, talking about Satan here. You'll trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will be able to harm you as you walk in this authority.”
Luke 10:19

Just over a week ago now we got a Peloton bike. So grateful and excited! If you go to their website, there's a two to three month back order and I'm so thankful that my good friend was willing to sell hers so we got one quickly. There's this cool idea. Like I decided to think I talked to you guys about this briefly. I'll tell you real quick as a reminder. I'm working with my trainer twice a week and then by needing to get cardio in on my off days. And I just local spin class, loved it, sweated a bunch, felt like I was really doing some toning exercises and getting cardio in. Our good friends delivered it to us and Rob brought it in the house and put it right in the living room. The main floor of our house has the bedrooms and my office, kitchen, dining room. Like everything we use regularly on is on the first floor. Like we've got a row machine, an assault bike machine, a weight bench. Rob has worked hard to set up a nice workout space. But it could be a week or two before I even go down there.
Have you ever listened to a podcast where the host starts the podcast off by saying, I do not want to record this episode? I'm just going to keep it real. It is November 4th, 2020 the day after election day. I am exhausted as I‘m actually sure that I'm not the only one that feels this way. Usually, we're like, Oh, I bet nobody else is feeling the same way I'm feeling. No, I'm pretty positive. Almost all of y'all are feeling exhausted today. First of all, physically exhausted. Cause you probably stayed up later than you did for New Year’s Eve.
A lie that I believed for almost all my life is tall people can't have muscles. I am six feet tall. Through childhood and even college, I was extremely thin, like really, really, really, really skinny could not even gain weight. Even if I tried, I ate all of the sugar, all the fattening things and it didn’t work.
Today, I'm sharing my family's personal story with a positive Covid test. Now, this is not everyone's experience, this is ours. I share it to spread hope and respect. I understand that everyone experiences are different and I can only speak on what happened with our family.
The audio comes from a Facebook live video that I shared on my personal page and wanted to share here on the podcast too.
My kids are on fall break and we’ve been home relaxing. I remembered Pippi Longstockings and thought I could share it with the kids. Even the intro music was so nostalgic for me! Everything came back to me as I was watching it. Before pressing play all I could remember is that she had red pigtails. As we watched more and more, the movie became familiar. It’s been close to 30 years since I’ve seen it. So I must have watched it so many times as a kid to remember it all! This has got me thinking about what happens to our brains when we repeat, repeat, repeat!
One of my goals for the year was to work on my arms and leg muscles so I did something very scary and hired a trainer! Not just any trainer, but a bodybuilder who is very muscular. Now I’m not planning on doing any bodybuilding competitions but I figured it would be best to learn from someone super experienced in that area. I had my first session yesterday and she’s giving me all the things I need to get started like meal plans and measurements.
This week we’re looking at the questions you need to be asking and the questions you need to ask yourself…
Recently at a team training, I had someone ask “what’s the one thing I need to do for my business?” And I get this question a lot. Even at my large company convention, this is a question I get asked, in the hallway, in the elevator, after speeches... What I really want to do is sit down, look them in the eye and say “what do YOU think you need to be doing for your business?” How often are we just seeking someone else to tell us the next step? It never really works for someone else to give you the answer.
I’ve got a storytime for you today… My husband Rob was out of town, and I had already put the kids to bed. I decided to tackle some big Rubbermaid tubs that I haven’t touched in years and years. There were so many memories! My girl scout vest, so many printed pictures, and letters, and report cards. I came across a picture and it stopped me in my tracks. It made me start uncontrollably crying. I’m not much of a crier, but man this hit me hard.
What we do and why we do it are shaped by the voices we listen to. And that’s what we’re getting into today!
I moved a few months ago, we’re transitioning to a new town and home, the kids just started at their new school, it’s been a season of realignment for us. I feel like I’ve really been in a season of perfectionism and confusion and distraction. All of us are probably going in and out of these feelings too. I was feeling nervous about leading you guys in the wrong direction or not having the right words to say on the podcast. But the last few weeks God has really drawn me in deeper.
Have you ever caught yourself saying or thinking “I just don’t have time for that?!”
I’ve caught myself feeling those feelings of busy, time deficient, and stressed lately. But I had to stop and remind myself I’m creating that idea!
You live into the story you tell yourself! If you are saying that “I don’t have enough time to do that!” then you’re going to get to keep that thought. And you have a choice in how you feel!
I feel like God gives us those stressed and busy feelings it’s an invitation to spend my time with Him!
