01. Burned Out From Chasing Success? Maybe You're Measuring it Wrong

07. How to Build Confidence and Release Control When Fear and Self Doubt Has You Stuck In Your Comfort Zone

Have you ever noticed how comfortable we are when we feel like we're in control? In this episode, I share a simple but powerful lesson from a recent swim lesson. My student is perfectly fine in one area of the pool—even though she can't touch the bottom. But the moment she thinks she's entering the deep end, fear takes over. Whether it's starting a business, pursuing a dream, having a difficult conversation, stepping into leadership, or following a calling God keeps placing on our hearts, we often find ourselves hesitating—not because God has changed, but because we're being asked to leave what's familiar. This episode uncovers * Why our desire for control often keeps us stuck * The difference between faith and certainty * Why confidence usually comes after action—not before it * How to recognize when God may be stirring something in your heart * What it means to trust God when you can't see the entire path ahead And..I include a faith-filled twist on today's overly popular acronym. Faith isn't having all the answers before you move. Faith is trusting God enough to take the next step and discovering His faithfulness along the way. If you've been waiting until you feel ready, certain, or confident before moving forward, this episode is your reminder that sometimes the breakthrough isn't found in the planning—it's found in the stepping. Hebrews 11:8 "By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going." Remember: The same God who has been faithful in the shallow end will be faithful in the deep end.

06. Struggling with Finding Success? Why Comparison and Perfectionism aren't helping and What to do Instead.

Have you ever accomplished something, only to immediately focus on what could have been better? Maybe you've found yourself comparing your life to someone else's, chasing impossible standards, or feeling like your best efforts somehow never quite measure up. In this episode, we're tackling the hidden burden of perfectionism and how comparison can keep us from ever feeling successful. We'll explore why the finish line keeps moving, why it's so difficult to celebrate our wins, and how God's definition of success differs from the world's. Through personal stories, biblical wisdom from James 1:4 and Philippians 3:12, and a fresh perspective on what it means to live faithfully, you'll discover that success isn't about getting everything right—it's about growing, maturing, and becoming more like Christ along the way. If you've ever been too hard on yourself, struggled to celebrate your accomplishments, or felt like nothing you do is quite good enough, this episode is for you. It's time to stop chasing perfect, start celebrating progress, and redefine success through the lens of faithfulness. It's time to celebrate! -K   If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who may need a healthier perspective on success and growth.

05. Is a Lack of Confidence Keeping You Stuck? You might be missing this.

Success is often portrayed as something deeply personal. But what if part of redefining success is recognizing that none of us were designed to walk through life alone? In this episode, we talk about the importance of encouragement, fellowship, and surrounding ourselves with the right people. The truth is, there are moments in life when our own strength feels weak. Moments when purpose feels heavy, discouragement creeps in, or we struggle to even take the first step. And in those moments, community matters. Drawing from personal experiences, including the voices that helped carry me through a difficult race when exhaustion and pain told me to quit, we explore how encouragement can become the very thing that helps someone start, continue, or finish their journey to success. We weren’t designed to carry burdens alone, and we weren’t designed to celebrate victories alone either.  Look for strength in the people God places along the route. So, who’s in your corner? And who are you encouraging to keep going? You can do it! -K If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who may need a healthier perspective on success and growth.

04. Motivation and Drive: What's Fueling Your Success

To have drive and to be driven is a wonderful characteristic. It should be celebrated. We teach our kids to work hard, pursue excellence, improve their skills, and strive to succeed. There’s nothing wrong with having a fire in your belly, the desire to accomplish goals, and build something meaningful can be incredibly healthy. What’s fueling the fire? In this episode, we talk about the difference between healthy ambition and unhealthy motives. We explore how the same drive that can build businesses, ministries, teams, families, and influence can also become rooted in ego. Through practical examples from leadership, parenting, coaching, teaching, and Scripture, we examine how motivation shapes the outcome of our success. Because the issue is rarely whether we have drive it’s whether that drive is rooted in purpose and service or in identity and self-promotion. A healthy fire doesn’t consume peace, relationships, humility, or identity. Instead, it produces perseverance, discipline, generosity and meaningful impact in the lives of others. The fire was never meant to consume you. It was meant to shine through you.

01. Burned Out From Chasing Success? Maybe You're Measuring it Wrong

What if the version of success you’ve been chasing is actually the reason you feel exhausted, behind, or disconnected?  In this episode of ReDefine Success, we unpack how comparison quietly shifts the finish line and why so many people feel pressure to chase a version of success they never intentionally chose. Through personal reflections and faith this episode challenges the idea that success is only measured by visibility, money, achievement, or applause.  This episode is a invitation to begin redefining success in a way that actually aligns with your values, your faith, and the life you truly want to live because success without alignment eventually becomes draining.
