Building Before the Rain Comes w/ Rachel Nelson

What do you do when God gives you a dream that feels bigger than your capacity and everything around you is dried up and deserted? You keep building. In this episode I sit down with coach, speaker, author, and fellow mom Rachel Nelson who is right in the middle of her own building season. Not on the other side. Right here in it. And together we are getting real about what it actually looks like to stay consistent when nothing seems to be moving, the faith it requires when nobody around you understands what you are building, and how you juggle all of it while still showing up for your family. Nobody believed Noah either. But he kept building anyway. And the rain eventually came. This episode is for the mom who is still waiting on her rain. Keep building. Rachel's summit Raised On Truth, The Fully Equipped Momma Summit is happening July 25th.

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

You have heard do it afraid a thousand times. But nobody is talking about what happens when you do not. When you sit in the fear long enough it does not just stay in your head. It gets in your body. Your voice. Your muscles. Your nervous system. All of it. In this episode I am getting real about the time I did a live with a trash can next to me because I was that nervous. The vocal therapy I had to get because years of held fear literally stopped my voice from working. And what I learned about what it actually costs you to keep playing it safe. The anxiety is real. But so is what it is doing to you while you wait to feel ready. 1 John 4:4. Greater is He that is within you than he that is in the world. This is your sign to stop waiting and start doing the reps. And if you are ready to stop building alone and want a community of moms who are doing it afraid right alongside you, Mom School is open.

The Lessons I learned 25 Episodes Later

Tonight is episode 25, and we're celebrating live. I'm walking through six real lessons from the last six months of this podcast. The mic I already had before I started. The chair I almost didn't use because it didn't feel "ready." The week Riverside glitched and I had to go live with no backup. The moment I stopped editing myself down to make people comfortable. This is a live Q&A, so I want to hear from you too. Drop your question now in the comments, or bring it with you tonight. Motherhood, faith, your own dream, whatever you've been sitting on, ask it. If you're in a season where you know there's more for you but you're not sure how it fits with everything else you're carrying, that's exactly who Mom School is for. It's a space to actually walk out your dream without choosing between that and your family. You can start here: https://apply.destinyfaithmckoy.com/mom-school-application [https://apply.destinyfaithmckoy.com/mom-school-application] This is your activation for the week. Show up, ask your question, and let's celebrate this one together.

I'm Scared But Doing It Anyway

You finally stepped out. You started the thing. You set the boundary. And then the fear of rejection showed up anyway. In this episode we break down the difference between the fear of the unknown, the fear of intimacy, the fear of failure, and the fear of judgment and rejection. If you have started feeling exposed, separated, or like you are suddenly too much for everybody, this episode is for you. We walk through 2 Timothy 1:6 through 7 and show how stirring up the gift God placed in you and the spirit of fear are talked about in the very same breath. Your fear is not a warning to stop. It is confirmation that something real is happening. This is the episode for the mom who is scared but still choosing to do it anyway. The Wake Up Creative Challenge cart closes June 21.

Why the Algorithm Wants You in a Box and Why God Never Did

Society has one job and it is going to do it. Put you in a box. Pick a niche. Choose one thing. Stay in your lane. But what if God gave you more than one gift on purpose. What if the overflow is not a problem to fix but a design to embrace. In this episode we talk about why the world tries to categorize you, how the algorithm reinforces the box, and why Romans 12:6 says something completely different about the gifts you were given. Plus we play put a finger down. I am naming a few types of creative moms and I want you to count how many fingers you end up putting down. This is episode two of the Wake Up Creative series dropping every Wednesday in June on the Activate Your Destiny podcast. If this episode is hitting home Wake Up Creative was made for you. A seven day challenge for the mom who is done letting other people decide which gifts she gets to use. Link below.
