    Daily Affirmations 029: Consistency & Patience: Trust the Process, Your Time Is Coming

    Send us Fan Mail Consistency & Patience: Trust the Process It's easy to feel discouraged when it looks like everyone around you is moving faster, achieving more, or reaching milestones you've been praying for. But someone else's quick win doesn't mean you're behind. Someone else's success doesn't mean you've failed. And someone else's harvest doesn't mean your seed isn't growing. In this week's episode of The Striving Butterfly, we're talking about consistency, patience, trusting God's timing, and resisting the temptation to compare your journey to someone else's. This episode includes 10 affirmations designed to help you stay focused, remain faithful, and continue showing up even when the results aren't immediate. Scripture: Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

    Showing Up Without Having It All Togther

    Send us Fan Mail Let’s challenge the belief that you must feel ready before you begin. In this episode, I explore how readiness is often a by-product of motion, not a starting line. Through honest reflections on delaying projects, over-preparing, and waiting for clarity, I unpack how fear can dress up as preparation and keep us stuck longer than necessary. As seasons change, so does capacity. Showing up today may look different from what it used to and that’s not failure, it’s growth. I talk about: calling out readiness as a mythredefining showing up in new seasonssmall steps as right-sized commitmentsfaith, obedience, and small beginningsone honest step to take this week“Do not despise small beginnings.” - Zechariah 4:10 You don’t have to arrive polished. You can begin as you are.
