    Top Shelf: From Celebrating Life to Achieving Goals, Living Your Dreams

    Welcome to another soul-enriching episode of Thinker vs. Speaker! 🎙️ This week, I'm joined by the incredible Rachel "Eloquent Pearlfection" Jenkins, a phenomenal poet who's been on a whirlwind journey since her last appearance on the show. We kick off by catching up with Rachel and diving into her extraordinary 2023. From numerous podcast appearances to a cameo in a music video, and even gracing the stage at a women's festival – she's been booked and busy, showcasing her dedication to perfecting her poetic craft. Rachel reflects on the unexpected wave of success, emphasizing her initial goal to elevate her work in 2023. Little did she know that her journey would lead to a multitude of bookings and widespread support, underscoring the power of setting ambitious goals. In our conversation, we explore the exhilaration of challenging oneself creatively, drawing inspiration from Rachel's experience at the women's festival. We delve into the nerves, preparation, and the fulfilling feeling of conquering a stage of that magnitude. Our dialogue shifts to the profound journey of pursuing a passion seriously, finding confidence in one's craft, and the appreciation for artistic expression without a sense of competition. This segues into a deep dive into goal-setting and planning, where I share my evolution from skepticism about tools like vision boards to recognizing the importance of intentional goal-setting. As we reflect on our 20s, we share experiences of celebrating life without a specific purpose and the realization that intentional planning became crucial for long-term success. We discuss the importance of being intentional with our time, making necessary sacrifices, and understanding that growth often happens outside of our comfort zones. The episode takes an introspective turn as I share my personal journey of losing ambition in young adulthood, leading to a series of life experiences and a profound realization that I wasn't missing anything at all. Together, we explore the transformative power of intentional decision-making and the necessity of embracing change for personal growth. I then turn the spotlight on Rachel, asking her about her unique approach to celebrating accomplishments. Her method? Relaxation and regrouping – a vital step in the creative process. We also delve into her early start in the spotlight, drawing parallels with our church upbringings and questioning whether others can see a light in us that we might not recognize ourselves. Our conversation evolves into a discussion about faith, redirection, and the incompatibility of ego and faith. Rachel shares how learning faith at a young age provided her with a deep understanding that sometimes, redirection is a form of protection. We explore the idea that living authentically, getting selective about our surroundings, and embracing change can lead to a more fulfilling and supportive existence. Tune in as we navigate through the depths of creativity, faith, and personal growth in this captivating episode with Rachel "Eloquent Pearlfection" Jenkins. Don't miss the insights, laughter, and wisdom we share on Thinker vs. Speaker – the podcast for deep, relatable conversations about life's journey. 🌟 #ThinkerVsSpeaker #EloquentPearlfection #LifeGoals #PodcastJourney
