Amazing By Design —Christian Coaching Podcast for Women

Living From Who You Truly Are

Living From Who You Truly Are There’s a conversation that has quietly lived beneath the surface of many episodes here on Amazing By Design. What does it really mean to live from who you truly are? In this episode, I explore the difference between living from who God created you to be and living from who you’ve learned you need to be. Many women spend years learning how to show up in ways that help them belong, be accepted, carry responsibility, and meet expectations. Over time, those patterns can become so familiar that we stop questioning them altogether. But what happens when the life we’ve learned to live slowly pulls us away from who we truly are? In this conversation, I unpack: • Why so many women feel lost in their own lives • How self-abandonment can hide behind beautiful words like love, faithfulness,       and responsibility • Why awareness changes everything • The difference between guilt and truth • How trust in God becomes real in everyday life • What it looks like to stop overriding yourself and begin living from who God           created you to be This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reconnecting with who God placed within you from the beginning. If you've ever felt disconnected, exhausted, conflicted, or unsure of what it means to truly be yourself with God, this conversation is for you.   Complimentary Disvcovery Call [https://calendly.com/lucyann/60min] Email Me [https://www.lucyanncq.com/connect-with-lucy-ann/] Join the Amazing By Design Email List [https://mailchi.mp/lucyanncq.com/shdjnkifsy] Shop My Books [https://tinyurl.com/Strategic-Faith-Book] Free Gift:28 Days Coaching Insights PDF [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LFKPO0OncYIpqE2ycXOUXGCy-TzlMxbb/view?usp=sharing] Follow Me On Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/Lucyanncqcoach/] Follow Me On Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/lucyanncq/]

When Pressure Teaches You To Override Yourself

When Pressure Teaches You to Override Yourself I’ve been reflecting lately on how quietly many women learn to disconnect from themselves over time. Not dramatically. Not intentionally. But slowly… Through pressure... Expectations... Acceptance... And the desire to keep peace in relationships. And often, it begins much earlier in life than we realize. In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story from childhood that revealed how easily we can begin evaluating ourselves through the lens of external approval — silencing parts of ourselves simply because they create tension somewhere else. The discussion explores: • how pressure teaches women to override internal awareness • the emotional cost of constantly self-monitoring • why external peace and internal peace are not always the same thing • what begins to change when we become safe enough with God to be honest     about what we’re actually feeling • how healing sometimes begins by reconnecting with parts of ourselves we learned to silence over time And maybe most importantly… What becomes possible when we stop viewing ourselves only through the comfort, expectations, and opinions of others.

When Life Requires More From You

When Life Requires Something Different From You Sometimes life suddenly asks more of us than we expected. A quick trip becomes an unexpected week. A moment turns into responsibility. And uncertainty unfolds in ways we could not have planned for ahead of time. In this episode, I’m sharing a recent experience caring for my elderly parents after multiple unexpected emergencies happened within days of each other — and what that season revealed about steadiness, presence, responsibility, and trusting God in real time. We talk about: • the difference between carrying responsibility and carrying emotional       weight • staying present when life becomes demanding • asking for help without guilt • recognizing aligned strength • learning to trust that God may have already prepared in you what this   season requires And maybe most importantly… What becomes possible when we stop abandoning ourselves every time life becomes difficult.

I Stopped Living Ahead Of My Life

I Stopped Living Ahead Of My Life I have noticed over time, that many women, myself included, often move through life mentally staying ahead of what might happen next. We anticipate. We overthink. We carry tomorrow before it arrives. And somewhere along the way, we stop fully experiencing the life we’re actually living. That realization became very real to me during a recent overseas trip. Somewhere between travel plans, family dynamics, uncertainty, unexpected moments… and even lost luggage somewhere between New York and Paris… I noticed something had quietly changed within me. I was no longer mentally rushing ahead trying to manage every possible outcome. Instead, I was fully living inside the moment I had been given. In this episode, I’m sharing some of the quiet moments from that trip and the deeper realization underneath them — including what it looks like to stay connected to yourself-with-God in real time, why peace often comes when we stop carrying things that were never ours to hold, and how life begins to feel different when we stop mentally living ahead of it. And maybe most importantly… What becomes possible when we trust that God is already present in the moments we have not yet reached. You are welcome to join the conversation here.

Alignment Begins With Safety

Alignment Begins With Safety There are moments in life when something feels off… but you can’t quite explain why. In this episode, I share a personal experience that revealed something deeper about alignment—not as a concept, but as something we feel and live from. As I was recovering from food poisoning, I had to slow down and listen to what my body was communicating…even when my mind was ready to move forward. And through that process, I realized something powerful: Alignment isn’t something we force. It’s something we return to—when we begin to listen again. In this conversation, I walk through: * why we override what we feel * how safety impacts our decisions and relationships * what it looks like to rebuild trust—with ourselves and with God * how alignment begins, not with effort…but with awareness This episode will gently help you recognize where you may be pushing past what your body, and your spirit are trying to show you. And how to return to a place of steadiness, clarity, and trust.
