4 - Newness: Making Room for the New

Better late then never. This podcast is a bit delayed from my original plan. Stepping into new life stages or events can be tricky to navigate. But its extra difficult if we don't purposefully make room for what's new, we can't usher in newness by trying to fit it into the old or previous stage. Thinking ahead or shifting our mindset in these four areas can help us avoid frustration and disappointment in the new. 1. Relationships 2. Time 3. Decision Making 4. Space Join me as I share some things I've learned about making room for the new!

3 - Failure Builds Confidence ~ When Grace is Applied

If at first you don't succeed try, try again… We've all heard it, but how do we practically deal with failure? What does it even mean to fail or to succeed? Why do we struggle to 'try again' for ourselves or for our kids? I don't claim to have it all figured out, but I can share what I've learned in my 50+ years of life…and… just this week! I think it's fear keeps us from trying again…fear of the cost that failure can bring - failure costs time, emotion & money. Failure hurts our pride, ouch! Walk through the three mindsets I've learned to apply: 1. Nothing is wasted 2. Forward Motion 3. We aren't always ready These may not come naturally, but if we can think them through in the midst of "failure" we can evaluate, adjust and try, try again. Thank you for joining me.

2 - Newness: Battling Frustration in the New

There are many educational methods out there, but the classical model and the trivium can teach us something about battling the frustration of 'newness.' Frustration can often cast a shadow when we are experiencing or learning something new, it can lead our mind toward ungracious thinking. 1. Why is it so hard? 2. It's taking too long. 3. Is this really worth it? 4. I give up! Join me as I tackle each question with three examples of newness, new mom, new homeschooler or new job. Ultimately, we can't skip the grammar phase.

1 - Newness: Finding Confidence in New Seasons of Life

In life, much like the ever-changing weather, new seasons come our way. Whether we chose the season we are in or it was thrust upon us, there is a "newness" that can cause us to lose confidence in that season. I have found in my own life that there are four typical questions we automatically ask ourselves. 1. Can I really do this? 2. Am I really qualified? 3. What's this going to look like? 4. What if I fail? Sometimes these questions can destroy our confidence and stop us from embracing the new. In this episode, I take us through each of these in order to help us have grace with ourselves and create confidence in whatever new season we are facing. Thank you for joining me.
