  3. Can you Multiply What You Aren’t Grateful For?

    02/22/2025

    Can you Multiply What You Aren’t Grateful For?

    What if the key to getting more in life… is being grateful for what we already have? I didn’t expect to get hit with this realization today, but as I was reading John 5 & 6, something clicked. Jesus asked Philip how they’d feed 5,000 people—even though he already knew the answer.He told everyone to sit down before they even had food—was that faith or just a crazy move?He gave thanks before multiplying the fish and bread—what if we’re missing out because we aren’t grateful first?And then—he gathered the leftovers. Even in abundance, nothing was wasted.It made me ask myself: Where have I taken things for granted? What have I wasted because I thought it would always be there? I don’t have all the answers, but I know this: we can’t multiply what we aren’t grateful for. So here’s the challenge: ➡ What’s one thing you can start showing gratitude for today? ➡ How would your life change if you responded instead of reacted? I’m figuring this out in real-time, and if this hits home for you too, let’s explore it together. 👇 Hit the link below and send me a text if this resonated with you Send me a text let me know what you think of today's episode

  4. My Journey from Reacting to Responding To Life

    02/21/2025

    My Journey from Reacting to Responding To Life

    In today’s episode of Unleashed After 40, I dive into a powerful insight that hit me while reading the Bible. The story of Mary at the wedding with Jesus (John 2) unlocked a lesson about the difference between reacting and responding—one that I’ve been personally experiencing in my own life. For most of my life, I was the world's #1 reactor—quick to respond based on emotion, anxiety, and external circumstances. But in the last month, I’ve started making a shift. And what I’ve found is that responding puts me in a position of peace, power, and purpose. In this episode, I share: ✅ The lesson Mary teaches us about faith over feelings ✅ Why reacting keeps us stuck in anxiety, anger, and aimlessness ✅ How shifting to responding can transform your mindset and your results ✅ A real-life example of how I almost missed out on wisdom because of a reaction We were put on this earth to be creators, not reactors. Today, I challenge you: Where in your life are you still reacting, and what would happen if you chose to start responding instead? 🔥 Let’s talk about it.

In This Episode, We Unpack: ✔️ How rejection, failure, and routine kill our belief over time ✔️ Why living on autopilot is the slowest, most painful death ✔️ The moment you stop believing is the moment you start settling ✔️ The power of feeding your fire instead of letting it die out ✔️ Why belief isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you build 00:00 Introduction and Purpose 00:19 The Concept of Dying at 25 00:46 The Loss of Belief 01:14 Living on Autopilot 01:44 The Slow Death of Dreams 02:12 Reigniting the Fire 03:02 Taking Action to Build Belief 03:21 Challenge and Motivation 03:50 Conclusion: Keep Living, Not Just Existing Today’s Challenge: 🔥 What’s one thing you can do today to feed your belief? For me, it’s reaching out to five potential clients for my local SEO business. What’s yours? Is it making that call? Writing down that idea? Hitting the gym? Reminding yourself that you are NOT done yet? 🚀 Take action today. Stop dying the death of a thousand cuts.
