    Grow Baby Grow!

    Globally, we've drastically shifted and maybe you feel like what's the point of creating, dreaming, or doing ANYTHING except surviving. I have felt this, but it would be a waste of our life to simply just survive. God's Word encourages us to grow in all that we do for His glory!  In season 2, we've talked about the shifts in culture, religion, politics, and the like. In our second episode, we discussed that the goal is to remove distraction and be focused on the task at hand (work, school, your marriage, your kids, church, etc.). In this episode, we will discuss how in moments of tension is when we should grow...THE MOST! Hope you're encouraged to Grow, Baby Grow!  Have a story that inspired change by you or someone else?

  4. Shift Change to Servant Leadership

    Shift Change to Servant Leadership

    As I wrap up season one of The Shift Changer Podcast, I sat down with my friend, Mike Rosas to talk about a topic we are both passionate about: Servant Leadership. Mike is the Houston Rockets Chaplain, business owner to several companies, co-founder with his beautiful wife, Lidiette, an orphanage in Soacha, Colombia called Love Bought International, and a father to 3 adorable children. Mike lives servant leadership in an extraordinary way fueled by the grace of God. I pray this episode blesses you and encourages you to live a life in service to others for the glory of God! This episodes Sticky Note Quote is: "Christianity enhanced the notion of political and social accountability by providing a new model: that of servant leadership. In ancient Greece and Rome no one would have dreamed of considering political leaders anyone's servants. The job of the leader is to lead. But Christ invented the notion that the way to lead is by serving the needs of others, especially those who are the most needy." Dinesh D'Souza SHIFT | CHANGE ACRONYM TAKEAWAY: What Would Jesus Do? I hope you enjoyed this episode! Connect with Mike Rosas through his organizations: Uprising Society Here, Love Bought International here, and Revolutionary Living here.

  5. Shift Change to Overcome Postpartum Depression to Joy Unspeakable in Jesus

    Shift Change to Overcome Postpartum Depression to Joy Unspeakable in Jesus

    Disclaimer: This was recorded in September 2020, and I thought I lost the recording. But my editor found it and so here it is. This one is of sensitive nature. If you are experiencing postpartum depression call: 1-800-944-4773 (4PPD). I sit down and talk with my lovely friend, Stephanie Jones. Stephanie is in an amazing wife, mama, newly fur mama, loves to capture beautiful family moments through photography among many other things. I barely knew Stephanie when I called her in 2017, but she mentioned in one of our photo sessions that she had experienced postpartum depression. In the middle of an extremely emotional moment where I felt I was spiraling, I called her. She stayed on the phone with me letting me talk it out, cry it out, and prayed for me. She then encouraged me to find a counselor. She would text me to check on me and send me encouraging scripture verses. Through that experience we became friends. This episodes Sticky Note Quote is Philippians 4:6: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Stephanie leaves us with these words of wisdom: Change is necessary for growth. Shift your mindset and embrace change…especially in motherhood. Ask for help and reach out for help. Mamas, you are not alone. Connect with Stephanie on Instagram here and book a photo session with Stephanie here. Have a story that inspired change by you or someone else? I would love to share it!

Let's begin 2021, with my dear and beautiful friend, Leslie Gonzales. When Leslie's not wearing multiple hats and crushing her day job, she's looking for ways to lavish the love of Jesus on women and connect with them through community gatherings. She even started an organization, Fearless Project and every month, she does just that! The mission of Fearless Project is to encourage and empower women to live life fearlessly for Jesus. We sat down and spoke about her unique ability to connect with women and where it all started. You'll hear through Leslie's story how the courage to be vulnerable unlocks the door to someone’s heart and transparency opens the door to connection with them. The women of Fearless Project is the proof! I know because I've been a part of Fearless Project and have seen first hand. Leslie is an incredible leader and is inspiring women to live fearlessly. She will also be speaking at Revive Her Conference coming this April 17th, 2021. We'd love for you to join us in person or online! Register here.

  7. Shift Change to Spiritually Proactive Parenting

    Shift Change to Spiritually Proactive Parenting

    On this episode of the Shift Changer Podcast, I sat down with the lovely and beautiful, Lorna Wells. Native to Houston, Lorna is the wife to Tauren Wells and a mother to 3 with bundle of joy on the way! She's also an amazing singer, a lover of God, her family, and people. I started following her on Instagram and then on her blog, Alive and Wells, where she keeps it real while sharing the goodness of God! What really stopped me in my tracks that lead me to reach out to her was a post she made about Purity. She mentioned in her post about values her and her husband, Tauren, teach their kids monthly and they find a verse that goes along with that value. As a mother trying to do the same thing, I am inspired by her pursuit to instill Biblical values to her children. Lorna shares her wisdom that I believe all women can gleam from, not only mothers.  This episodes Sticky Note Quote is: "Most things are caught not taught." Essentially, good or bad, our children learn by how we live our lives in front of them. Lorna talks about the book to make your kids aware of what pictures they can & cannot see in this digital age: Good Pictures, Bad Pictures, Jr: A Simple Plan to Protect Young Minds. by Kristen Jensen and Debbi Cox and the advanced copy for older children: Good Pictures, Bad Pictures: Porn Proof Today's Young Kids. I highly recommend this book! SHIFT | CHANGE ACRONYM TAKEAWAY: S - Spend one on one time with your children. Childhood is a season. Don't let the season and moments pass you by. H - Hear your kids out. Put your phone down and enjoy the gift of your kids! Savor the moments you have with your children by hearing them out and them desiring to talk with you. Again, childhood is a season.  I - Intentionality. Be intentional with your kids. If you don't plan and think it out, it won't happen. There is some work to be done in the background in teaching your children, but they are worth your time & investment. F - Fight for your marriage. The health of your marriage or relationships strongly determines the spiritual and emotional health of your children.  T - Train them to love the Word and follow Christ. Commit to the time and consistency.  I hope you enjoyed this episode! Connect with Lorna on Instagram here and her blog, Alive and Wells. Have a story that inspired change by you or someone else?

    Shift Change to Crush Your Goals

    On this episode of the Shift Changer Podcast, I sit down with my friend, Shellsy Malveaux and talk about Crushing Your Goals. I reached out to her because that's exactly what she's doing - even in a pandemic! This girl is C R U S H I N G It! Shellsy and I got together last year for my Revive Her Vision & Goals and she shared her desire to open a coffee shop. Then she casted vision, created an attainable plan, cultivated goals to reach them, and has collaborated with people who will facilitate her dreams. She was also one of our speakers at Revive Her and mentors who's helped many women towards their goals. When she's not working at PJ's - she's working on her future dream job and leading women through her Book Club, The Feminine Vigor. Shellsy is proof that you can still finish this year stronger and CRUSH YOUR GOALS!  This episodes Sticky Note Quote is: Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight." SHIFT | CHANGE ANCRONYM: S - Shake it up! H - Make it HAPPEN! Don't just talk about it, make it happen! I -  Insight - Open yourself to different perspectives. F - Forward Motion - Don't look back. T - Timing - Trust God's timing. Connect with Shellsy on Instagram: Unconventional Shell and her Book Club: The Feminine Vigor. Have a story that inspired change by you or someone else?
