Hey Mama!
In today’s episode we talk all things boundaries and in a way that you have probably never heard of before.
Most people think of them as something scary, but if that was true you would calling yourself scary. This episode opens your eyes to the truth behind your boundaries and how boundaries are essentially everything that you are, your thoughts, beliefs, values, priorities and so much more.
I also talk about the boundaries Jesus set while he was here on earth and that God gives us boundaries to help us know how to live life as he has called us to rather than again going through the struggle of deciding what is right and what is wrong.
It’s so amazing how He has already done that for us!
I hope you enjoy this episode and I pray God continues to bless your week.

Hey Mama!
This episode is a little deeper, digging into why we miss the miracles in our lives. Without giving too much away it's due to the fact that we allow our hearts to be hardened against God.
Life is a struggle and when we are so close to a situation and can't see the whole picture it's easier to fall away rather than cling on to God, because we start to blame Him that we are in the situation along with so many other reasons.
Life isn't easy and the World has led us to believe that we should be able to snap our fingers and have an answer right now. Patience isn't something the world worries about. It focuses on hustle and self which only tears us down and away from what we truly need.
A relationship with God.
I invite you to go listen to today’s episode so that you can know the signs of a hardened heart and prevent the hardening of your heart in the future. Then come over to the Mamas Partnering with God Facebook Group so that we can continue the conversation, connect and support each other.

Hey Mama!
Today's episode talks about the differences between worldly financial freedom and kingdom financial freedom and helps you embrace that mind and heartset today so that you can live your life abundantly and not in survival mode.
The world wants us to focus on the negative and how it’s us against the world and that we need to be selfish so that we can provide for our family, but that’s not what God wants us to do.
God wants us to make decisions based off of going to Him for guidance and preparing for His rain rather than stressing over the amount in the bank account.
Listen in to hear how you can Embrace Kingdom Financial Freedom TODAY! Then come over to the Mamas Partnering with God Facebook Group so that we can continue the conversation, connect and support each other.

Hey Mama!
Priorities can be a tricky thing. Some of you may think of them as goals, when they are much more than that.
Priorities give you a sense of time and focus. They tell you where you should be spending a majority of your time and energy so that you are focused on the right things rather than a slave to the things that you think or the world thinks you should be focusing on.
The great thing is that you don't have to do this alone! God has a list of priorities for you to follow that allows you to flow into freedom and keeps you from the overwhelm that can come with making choices and figuring out what your priorities are.

Hey Mama!
Episode 5 is all about helping you speed up your cleaning routines so that you can do more things that you want and give yourself more time to enjoy life, because who wants to be cleaning all day every day.
I know that's what I thought I would be doing when I became a stay at home mom but after putting these systems in place I quickly learned that I didn't have to be doing that any more. Don’t get me wrong I had some killer routines in place to keep my house clean when I worked at my job, but if I had these in place maybe my stress levels would have been a lot lower because I wouldn’t have been trying to get all of the cleaning done in one day!
Keeping your house clean is a lot easier than you think regardless of if you are a stay at home mom, a work from home mom or even a mom working her 9 to 5 job. These systems will help you keep your house looking nice, so that you have less stress on your plate and can enjoy your house now rather than after you find time to get the house clean.
Because a clean house is a happy house!

Hey Mama!
This episode is about the struggle of expectation that sickness or even just pure exhaustion brings. Your mindset is one that can be difficult to harness when your expectations are all about you. So we dig into how you can change that mindset and allow the Holy Spirit to act for you instead of you acting in the very minimal strength you have.
I also give you a few tips to help you through the hard time so that your expectations don’t get the best of you and you can show up for your family pouring into them with grace, love and understanding when all you want to do is the opposite.
I hope you enjoy this episode and you bring your takeaways and questions over to the free Facebook group Mamas Partnering with God so that we can continue the conversation over there.
I pray God continues to bless your week.

Hey Mama!
In today’s episode we kicked off the first of the Mamas Partnering with God Series and talked everything Relationships.
Most people tell you the first step to getting to know God is to read the bible, but I shared my experience of how that didn’t help me. Instead it felt more like I was Facebook stalking God or just opening up a history book. This is why I believe the first step to partnering with God is to first build a relationship with Him.
We all crave connection and as you will see so does God. He wants more than anything to be a part of your life. He has already broken the ice and is waiting for you to make the next move.
Connection and Relationship bring with it so many desired feelings such as LOVE, SUPPORT and TRUST. Things you can only get from building a deep connection that is much more than surface level. This is why God calls Himself our Father because He oozes many qualities that only a father can give us.
I pray this episode opens your eyes to the amazing possibilities that partnering with God through first building a relationship can do for you, and that it opens your eyes to how easy it can be to build a relationship with Him.
I look forward to seeing you over in our group sharing what it is you learned from this episode.
