00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,299
Hello, and welcome, Inspired Podcast community.
2
00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:07,700
This is your new episode.
3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:11,539
My name is Caroline, and my today's guest is
Brianna.
4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,259
And it says Lightfoot Smith.
5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,380
Is that correct?
6
00:00:15,804 --> 00:00:16,625
That is correct.
7
00:00:17,164 --> 00:00:17,644
Wow.
8
00:00:17,644 --> 00:00:19,164
Thank you for saying yes.
9
00:00:19,164 --> 00:00:20,144
I'm so excited.
10
00:00:20,364 --> 00:00:23,105
And we met on Facebook, I think.
11
00:00:23,804 --> 00:00:24,204
I think.
12
00:00:24,204 --> 00:00:24,845
We did.
13
00:00:24,845 --> 00:00:25,345
Yes.
14
00:00:25,405 --> 00:00:26,144
We met.
15
00:00:26,605 --> 00:00:32,659
But I don't know anything about you and the
podcast listener, as well.
16
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,619
So I would like you to introduce yourself to
the audience, please.
17
00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:38,259
Absolutely.
18
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:38,879
Yes.
19
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:41,219
So my name is Brianna Lightfoot Smith,
everyone.
20
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,140
I am a mom.
21
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,820
I am a wife.
22
00:00:45,304 --> 00:00:46,825
I am a God girl.
23
00:00:46,825 --> 00:00:48,685
I love me some Jesus all day long.
24
00:00:48,825 --> 00:00:57,065
I have been in Texas for really most of my
life, but I went and lived in Missouri for a
25
00:00:57,065 --> 00:00:59,725
while, lived in New Orleans, and now I'm back
in Texas.
26
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:02,200
And I love working with women.
27
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,920
I love creating spaces for women to connect,
and I always tell people my personal mission
28
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,640
statement is to connect women to Christ,
calling, and community.
29
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,500
So that's a little bit about me.
30
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:13,819
Oh, I love that very much.
31
00:01:14,204 --> 00:01:14,444
Yeah.
32
00:01:14,444 --> 00:01:15,664
Thank you so much.
33
00:01:15,724 --> 00:01:19,424
And my first question is what inspires you?
34
00:01:20,524 --> 00:01:24,944
What inspires me is really seeing women walk in
their purpose.
35
00:01:25,965 --> 00:01:27,804
Just a little bit more about me.
36
00:01:27,804 --> 00:01:31,799
When I was a teenager, I actually struggled
with suicidal ideations.
37
00:01:32,180 --> 00:01:36,740
And so I thought often about, you know, ending
my life because I just felt like I didn't have
38
00:01:36,740 --> 00:01:38,040
a lot to live for.
39
00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:45,875
And whenever I got really just closer to God,
because even at that point, I'd grown up in the
40
00:01:45,875 --> 00:01:47,875
church, but really started to know Him for
myself.
41
00:01:47,875 --> 00:01:52,674
I really started to see that there was just so
much more that He had put on the inside of me,
42
00:01:52,674 --> 00:01:56,354
that there were all these talents and gifts
that He's placed on the inside of me.
43
00:01:56,354 --> 00:02:01,530
And, unfortunately, because I wasn't really in
an environment as far as school was concerned
44
00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:05,189
where those gifts were cultivated, it made me
question myself.
45
00:02:05,189 --> 00:02:05,349
Right?
46
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,649
And I didn't feel confident.
47
00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:11,590
But when I started connecting with other women
who had similar gifts or I started getting
48
00:02:11,590 --> 00:02:16,844
around groups like my school's newspaper staff
where I was able to write because I love
49
00:02:16,844 --> 00:02:21,004
writing, I really started to see those giftings
grow.
50
00:02:21,004 --> 00:02:26,864
So I really love seeing women walk in their
passion and gifts because it just gives us that
51
00:02:27,789 --> 00:02:28,270
excitement.
52
00:02:28,270 --> 00:02:28,509
Right?
53
00:02:28,509 --> 00:02:31,330
And it gives us the inspiration to get out of
bed in the morning.
54
00:02:31,949 --> 00:02:32,270
Yeah.
55
00:02:32,270 --> 00:02:33,650
And also satisfaction.
56
00:02:33,949 --> 00:02:35,069
Can one say this?
57
00:02:35,069 --> 00:02:37,810
I'm not sure about when we have a desire.
58
00:02:37,870 --> 00:02:39,310
You know, we have a purpose.
59
00:02:39,310 --> 00:02:47,094
You pointed that out, how important it is, and
it makes us jump out of bed and work on our
60
00:02:47,395 --> 00:02:47,895
goals.
61
00:02:48,514 --> 00:02:49,955
I love that very much.
62
00:02:49,955 --> 00:02:55,415
I'm working as well this way and with people to
find that purpose.
63
00:02:55,794 --> 00:02:56,194
Yes.
64
00:02:56,194 --> 00:02:58,629
So we have something in common.
65
00:02:58,849 --> 00:03:02,550
We empower women, and this is very amazing.
66
00:03:02,849 --> 00:03:03,330
Wow.
67
00:03:03,330 --> 00:03:05,509
I love it, what you said.
68
00:03:05,650 --> 00:03:06,849
Thank you so much.
69
00:03:06,849 --> 00:03:10,310
And my next question is, who inspires you?
70
00:03:11,045 --> 00:03:12,985
Oh, who inspires me?
71
00:03:13,284 --> 00:03:21,944
I would have to say I have so many
inspirations, but my mom is a huge inspiration
72
00:03:22,245 --> 00:03:22,724
for me.
73
00:03:22,724 --> 00:03:24,585
She's just such a servant leader.
74
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,479
And even though she's been in a lot of
different positions where she's more
75
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:31,599
forward-facing, like she's been on television,
she worked in radio.
76
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:31,919
Right?
77
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,099
Like, she's had these really cool careers.
78
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:40,085
I think I've always been inspired by the fact
that she serves with such a humble heart, and
79
00:03:40,085 --> 00:03:44,245
she really is not doing anything for the
recognition of other people.
80
00:03:44,245 --> 00:03:47,444
It's really just like she's motivated by her
faith, and she's like, hey.
81
00:03:47,444 --> 00:03:50,965
I know I have to give an account for how
Load full transcript
I live
my life at the end of the day.
82
00:03:50,965 --> 00:03:55,250
And so she allows that to kind of order her
steps, and I love that about her.
83
00:03:55,790 --> 00:03:56,270
Wow.
84
00:03:56,270 --> 00:03:59,169
I love what you said about the servant leader.
85
00:03:59,710 --> 00:04:06,050
This is a nice expression to describe someone
or to describe your mom, of course.
86
00:04:06,245 --> 00:04:11,864
And what else did you say that she's not she's
not doing it for something or for someone?
87
00:04:12,484 --> 00:04:15,364
She's doing it for the faith something is
88
00:04:15,525 --> 00:04:16,884
It's driven by her faith.
89
00:04:16,884 --> 00:04:17,204
Yeah.
90
00:04:17,204 --> 00:04:17,704
Exactly.
91
00:04:17,845 --> 00:04:18,644
Like, she's like, okay.
92
00:04:18,644 --> 00:04:21,444
I gotta give an account to Jesus with how I
spent my life.
93
00:04:21,444 --> 00:04:24,620
So that's that's my motivating factor.
94
00:04:24,620 --> 00:04:24,939
You know?
95
00:04:24,939 --> 00:04:29,660
I'm not necessarily looking for people to
applaud me or I'm not trying to get an award or
96
00:04:29,660 --> 00:04:30,800
anything like that.
97
00:04:30,860 --> 00:04:33,100
And I think I've always told her.
98
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:36,754
I said, there's gonna be so much stuff that
you've done that no one will ever know except
99
00:04:36,754 --> 00:04:39,894
for the person who was on the receiving end of
the good thing that you did.
100
00:04:40,435 --> 00:04:41,175
Oh, wow.
101
00:04:41,714 --> 00:04:42,995
I see what you mean.
102
00:04:42,995 --> 00:04:46,854
That is the best, not not purpose, but
intention.
103
00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:55,620
Let's say intention to to act or to not be
dependent on approval, from other people.
104
00:04:56,399 --> 00:04:56,639
Yes.
105
00:04:56,639 --> 00:04:57,139
Absolutely.
106
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,180
Yeah.
107
00:04:58,319 --> 00:04:59,439
Thank you so much.
108
00:04:59,439 --> 00:04:59,939
Okay.
109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,725
My next question is, how do you inspire other
people?
110
00:05:05,024 --> 00:05:08,805
Oh, I inspire other people by showing up
authentically.
111
00:05:09,345 --> 00:05:15,024
I am someone who really gives, especially the
moms that I work with because I work with a lot
112
00:05:15,024 --> 00:05:16,865
of moms who are building businesses from home.
113
00:05:16,865 --> 00:05:20,870
I really give them permission to show up
imperfectly.
114
00:05:21,089 --> 00:05:21,569
Right?
115
00:05:21,569 --> 00:05:25,569
So especially when I used to do one-on-one
coaching, my moms would show up and their kids
116
00:05:25,569 --> 00:05:27,330
might be, like, acting crazy in the background.
117
00:05:27,330 --> 00:05:28,610
And they're like, I'm so sorry.
118
00:05:28,610 --> 00:05:32,574
And I've always told them, do not apologize
because we cannot control our kids.
119
00:05:32,574 --> 00:05:36,095
As much as we want to feel like we can, we
can't.
120
00:05:36,095 --> 00:05:41,074
And you're still modeling for them what it
looks like to persevere even in kind of chaotic
121
00:05:41,214 --> 00:05:41,714
situations.
122
00:05:41,774 --> 00:05:46,680
And so I think that that's the way that I
inspire others is really by showing up as my
123
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,860
full self, telling people, hey.
124
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,199
Even as I'm doing right now, I take, I take
calls in the closet sometimes because it's
125
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:54,699
quieter.
126
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,160
Right?
127
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,879
But I also wanna let my children know, hey.
128
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:03,435
This is our home, so you should get to spend
time in here and laugh and play and be loud.
129
00:06:03,435 --> 00:06:07,355
I'll just find kind of another quiet spot in
the meantime in between time.
130
00:06:07,355 --> 00:06:10,095
So I think that that's one of the ways that I
inspire people.
131
00:06:10,714 --> 00:06:11,115
Wow.
132
00:06:11,115 --> 00:06:17,870
I love that very much because in the old world
or the old beliefs were that kids have to be
133
00:06:17,870 --> 00:06:21,810
quiet all the time sitting around not
disturbing also.
134
00:06:22,270 --> 00:06:24,370
And now it is so much easier.
135
00:06:24,509 --> 00:06:30,584
You can present your kids on camera or on
without being embarrassed.
136
00:06:30,584 --> 00:06:32,745
I don't know the right word.
137
00:06:32,745 --> 00:06:33,545
It's normal.
138
00:06:33,545 --> 00:06:34,024
You know?
139
00:06:34,024 --> 00:06:34,764
It's normal.
140
00:06:34,985 --> 00:06:41,305
You have your family in your home, your, your
biz your what what did you say?
141
00:06:41,305 --> 00:06:43,379
Build businesses from home also?
142
00:06:43,379 --> 00:06:45,379
I help moms build businesses from home.
143
00:06:45,379 --> 00:06:46,579
So it's like, hey.
144
00:06:46,579 --> 00:06:50,019
You're at the place where you're conducting
business, and your kids are there too.
145
00:06:50,019 --> 00:06:50,839
So it's fine.
146
00:06:50,979 --> 00:06:51,879
We already understand.
147
00:06:51,939 --> 00:06:53,479
Bring them to the Zoom meeting.
148
00:06:53,939 --> 00:06:57,894
Bring them to you know, they're gonna my
children and I went on Instagram Live last
149
00:06:57,894 --> 00:06:59,415
week, and they are right there in the back.
150
00:06:59,415 --> 00:07:00,714
And they were like, hey, everybody.
151
00:07:00,855 --> 00:07:01,894
And I'm like, that's fine.
152
00:07:01,894 --> 00:07:03,915
I just wanna show women that that's okay.
153
00:07:04,134 --> 00:07:04,295
Yeah.
154
00:07:04,295 --> 00:07:06,634
And we are not denying our kids.
155
00:07:07,014 --> 00:07:08,235
This is important.
156
00:07:09,574 --> 00:07:10,074
Yeah.
157
00:07:10,470 --> 00:07:12,230
You said you have two kids.
158
00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:13,610
I have two kids.
159
00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:14,410
Two and
160
00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:17,930
I have a a 2 year old, a 4 year old, and a 6
year old
boy.
161
00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:18,650
Oh, boy.
162
00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:19,930
Wow.
163
00:07:20,470 --> 00:07:21,930
This is really amazing.
164
00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:27,504
And you are empowering women and especially
moms, you said?
165
00:07:28,125 --> 00:07:28,365
Yes.
166
00:07:28,365 --> 00:07:28,604
Yes.
167
00:07:28,604 --> 00:07:29,104
Okay.
168
00:07:29,884 --> 00:07:36,544
My next question is but you you said this in
the beginning already, your gifts and talents.
169
00:07:37,004 --> 00:07:38,865
What are your gifts and talents?
170
00:07:40,009 --> 00:07:45,529
Communicating, which is one of the reasons why
I love coming on to podcasts, connecting with
171
00:07:45,529 --> 00:07:49,850
people because it does allow me to I'm really
good at not just sharing my own story, but
172
00:07:49,850 --> 00:07:54,189
really providing a space for other people to
share their stories as well.
173
00:07:54,845 --> 00:07:57,745
I'm a writer, so I have four books that I've
published.
174
00:07:57,884 --> 00:07:59,824
And so that's another method of communication.
175
00:08:00,444 --> 00:08:04,285
So if I were to just pick one word, I would say
communication, whether that's written
176
00:08:04,285 --> 00:08:06,625
communication, whether it's verbal.
177
00:08:06,845 --> 00:08:07,165
Right?
178
00:08:07,165 --> 00:08:12,479
If it's, even, I created a new company called
Be Light Media because I think that a lot of
179
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:16,339
people struggle with communicating, whether
it's through visuals.
180
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:16,720
Right?
181
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,240
If they think about their own presence, if they
think about things like their website, they
182
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,199
really struggle with that.
183
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:24,615
So communication is definitely one of my
biggest gifts.
184
00:08:25,555 --> 00:08:25,875
Yeah.
185
00:08:25,875 --> 00:08:30,375
It can be also that they don't have the habit.
186
00:08:31,794 --> 00:08:37,610
They can if you train something or practice,
then it comes easier.
187
00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:38,789
That's true.
188
00:08:38,789 --> 00:08:43,269
Because people are always shocked to know that
I don't like, there was a time where I did not
189
00:08:43,269 --> 00:08:45,769
like public speaking, and they're like, there's
no way.
190
00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:46,629
No way.
191
00:08:46,629 --> 00:08:53,845
But I told them I'm, like, talking on podcasts,
doing I do, would do Bible studies on Instagram
192
00:08:53,845 --> 00:08:55,125
Live, and now we do them on Zoom.
193
00:08:55,125 --> 00:08:57,605
I'm like, when you talk a lot, you get better
at it.
194
00:08:57,605 --> 00:08:57,924
Right?
195
00:08:57,924 --> 00:08:58,884
That's just with anything.
196
00:08:58,884 --> 00:09:02,325
If you're practicing an instrument, the more
you use the instrument, the better you get.
197
00:09:02,325 --> 00:09:04,105
So I find the same thing with communication.
198
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:05,600
Yeah.
199
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:11,459
It can also be considered as an instrument,
your voice, to get the message out.
200
00:09:11,839 --> 00:09:12,339
Yeah.
201
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:13,600
I love that connection.
202
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,159
You're right.
203
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:15,139
It is an instrument.
204
00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:16,080
Mhmm.
205
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:16,320
Yeah.
206
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:16,639
Yeah.
207
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:17,379
The connection.
208
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:17,679
Yes.
209
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:18,639
We are connected.
210
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,774
This is also a purpose of my podcast.
211
00:09:20,855 --> 00:09:21,014
Podcast.
212
00:09:21,014 --> 00:09:21,654
You know?
213
00:09:21,654 --> 00:09:26,715
It came by intuition in December and in the
middle of the night.
214
00:09:27,175 --> 00:09:33,254
And it said to me, we can say it was God
talking to me by intuition and said, create
215
00:09:33,254 --> 00:09:33,959
your podcast.
216
00:09:33,959 --> 00:09:37,259
And here I am connecting people all over the
world.
217
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:38,519
Yeah.
218
00:09:38,519 --> 00:09:41,319
I love how quick you were to follow that,
though.
219
00:09:41,319 --> 00:09:41,480
Right?
220
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,179
Because sometimes people are like, oh, yeah.
221
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,559
Years ago, I got this notion.
222
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:46,279
You were like, okay.
223
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:46,759
December.
224
00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:47,079
Alright.
225
00:09:47,079 --> 00:09:48,644
January, February, we're already on it.
226
00:09:48,644 --> 00:09:49,625
So that's amazing.
227
00:09:50,404 --> 00:09:50,644
Yeah.
228
00:09:50,644 --> 00:09:55,605
It went so quick, and we have episode 105, I
think.
229
00:09:56,004 --> 00:09:56,325
Yeah.
230
00:09:56,404 --> 00:09:57,865
Within seven weeks.
231
00:09:58,325 --> 00:10:01,950
So now I train myself in what's next.
232
00:10:01,950 --> 00:10:02,769
I don't know.
233
00:10:02,910 --> 00:10:08,110
So we are at the same, not position, but where
we started.
234
00:10:08,110 --> 00:10:08,509
You know?
235
00:10:08,509 --> 00:10:14,129
You when you said there was a time you were
what was the verb?
236
00:10:14,985 --> 00:10:17,085
You didn't want to speak also?
237
00:10:17,144 --> 00:10:18,924
You were not sure enough?
238
00:10:18,985 --> 00:10:19,065
Yeah.
239
00:10:19,065 --> 00:10:23,865
I just I felt like I was I just I was only
comfortable writing.
240
00:10:23,865 --> 00:10:24,985
And it took a friend.
241
00:10:24,985 --> 00:10:30,990
I was doing a retreat with a friend at our
church, and she was like, will you come and
242
00:10:30,990 --> 00:10:31,870
speak to our girls?
243
00:10:31,870 --> 00:10:33,710
And I said, I don't really speak.
244
00:10:33,710 --> 00:10:34,509
I just write.
245
00:10:34,509 --> 00:10:36,750
I said, but I can write it down and read what I
wrote.
246
00:10:36,750 --> 00:10:41,009
And she
was like, that's fine, and that led to
everything I'm doing now.
247
00:10:41,629 --> 00:10:42,129
Wow.
248
00:10:42,190 --> 00:10:45,490
Or you could you could also read from your
books?
249
00:10:46,065 --> 00:10:46,565
Mhmm.
250
00:10:46,705 --> 00:10:47,205
Mhmm.
251
00:10:47,264 --> 00:10:47,764
Yes.
252
00:10:47,985 --> 00:10:49,264
This would be great.
253
00:10:49,264 --> 00:10:49,665
Yes.
254
00:10:49,665 --> 00:10:50,485
As well.
255
00:10:50,785 --> 00:10:51,285
Wow.
256
00:10:51,585 --> 00:10:57,205
So I love to look for your books after our
interview.
257
00:10:57,264 --> 00:10:57,985
Of course, I
258
00:10:57,985 --> 00:10:58,705
can put
259
00:10:58,705 --> 00:11:04,799
it in the show notes for our listeners, but we
are not at the end yet.
260
00:11:05,339 --> 00:11:08,059
May I ask you for what is your purpose?
261
00:11:08,059 --> 00:11:14,159
You said empowering women, but also personal
purposes or what what is next?
262
00:11:15,134 --> 00:11:15,615
Yeah.
263
00:11:15,615 --> 00:11:16,754
That's a great question.
264
00:11:16,894 --> 00:11:20,034
I really at my core, I feel like I'm a
storyteller.
265
00:11:21,054 --> 00:11:26,574
I think it's the reason why I even in sharing
my faith and and, you know, what Jesus has done
266
00:11:26,574 --> 00:11:31,419
in my life, why while it's why it's not just
the standard, Yes.
267
00:11:31,419 --> 00:11:32,959
I am gonna share scripture.
268
00:11:33,019 --> 00:11:34,139
Romans 10 and 9.
269
00:11:34,139 --> 00:11:34,379
Right?
270
00:11:34,379 --> 00:11:37,659
If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus
and believe in your heart that God raised you
271
00:11:37,659 --> 00:11:39,100
from the dead, you shall be saved.
272
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:44,779
But I feel like I bring a different I bring I
bring life to a lot of things because I'm like,
273
00:11:44,779 --> 00:11:45,179
okay.
274
00:11:45,179 --> 00:11:45,524
Yes.
275
00:11:45,684 --> 00:11:47,945
That is scripture.
276
00:11:48,004 --> 00:11:51,285
And, yes, if you do confess Jesus, that is
that's gonna happen.
277
00:11:51,285 --> 00:11:54,585
Like, you are gonna be saved and get to spend
eternity with him in heaven.
278
00:11:54,725 --> 00:11:59,129
But I think I the way I look at my faith is
like, what does it look like today, though?
279
00:11:59,129 --> 00:12:03,629
Like, I don't want it to just look like this
thing that I get to one day in eternity.
280
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:03,929
Right?
281
00:12:03,929 --> 00:12:06,029
Like, how do I experience heaven on earth?
282
00:12:06,330 --> 00:12:12,404
And so I think this season that I'm in right
now is really like, how do I experience heaven
283
00:12:12,404 --> 00:12:13,684
on earth in my home?
284
00:12:13,684 --> 00:12:17,684
How do I maintain my home in such a way that it
feels like heaven on earth for my family,
285
00:12:17,684 --> 00:12:20,985
right, in my business?
286
00:12:21,044 --> 00:12:28,480
How do I create systems and even digital
products and things that create such a
287
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,480
harmonious environment for me to be able to
generate income without feeling stressed out
288
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,480
and feeling like I'm neglecting my family?
289
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:34,799
Right?
290
00:12:34,799 --> 00:12:40,315
So I think just embedding that storytelling,
embedding that structure and organization and
291
00:12:40,315 --> 00:12:42,794
harmony into everything is really where I'm at
right now.
292
00:12:42,794 --> 00:12:48,634
And it's just been a really beautiful place to
be in because what I'm seeing is that I really
293
00:12:48,634 --> 00:12:53,500
wanna help women to operate in their purpose
and create a life and business they love, but
294
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:55,199
without burning out in the process.
295
00:12:55,819 --> 00:12:56,319
Yes.
296
00:12:56,539 --> 00:13:00,799
So it is about persistence, resilience, and
297
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:02,399
what does that mean?
298
00:13:03,339 --> 00:13:04,399
I would say consistency.
299
00:13:04,620 --> 00:13:05,120
Consistency.
300
00:13:05,579 --> 00:13:06,079
Okay.
301
00:13:06,139 --> 00:13:06,524
Yes.
302
00:13:06,605 --> 00:13:06,925
Yes.
303
00:13:06,925 --> 00:13:08,225
Persistence is something.
304
00:13:08,285 --> 00:13:08,605
Same.
305
00:13:08,605 --> 00:13:08,845
Yeah.
306
00:13:08,845 --> 00:13:09,345
Yeah.
307
00:13:09,565 --> 00:13:10,065
Okay.
308
00:13:10,205 --> 00:13:12,785
Consistency showing up every day for yourself.
309
00:13:13,245 --> 00:13:13,725
Yeah.
310
00:13:13,725 --> 00:13:14,225
Yes.
311
00:13:14,445 --> 00:13:16,625
Then, stand in your power.
312
00:13:18,365 --> 00:13:19,085
And what else?
313
00:13:19,085 --> 00:13:19,725
And when you mention
314
00:13:19,884 --> 00:13:22,470
You know what you said about the resilience,
that's so good too.
315
00:13:22,470 --> 00:13:22,709
Right?
316
00:13:22,709 --> 00:13:27,829
Because I think whenever we have those seasons
of life that are just a little bit harder, it
317
00:13:27,829 --> 00:13:29,589
can cause us to question everything.
318
00:13:29,589 --> 00:13:33,509
And we start asking ourselves like, man, is
this what I'm supposed to be doing?
319
00:13:33,509 --> 00:13:38,835
And I have just found, you know, even in the
loss of, I've had two miscarriages over the
320
00:13:38,835 --> 00:13:41,575
course of a six-month period.
321
00:13:41,634 --> 00:13:44,134
You know, I had some things going on with my
health.
322
00:13:44,434 --> 00:13:49,509
My children were, like, fighting each other
like crazy for a season.
323
00:13:50,769 --> 00:13:52,929
And me just having that, like, no.
324
00:13:52,929 --> 00:13:53,889
I will not give up.
325
00:13:53,889 --> 00:13:55,490
I will continue to keep showing up.
326
00:13:55,490 --> 00:13:57,750
I feel like I'm seeing the fruit of that.
327
00:13:58,289 --> 00:14:02,365
And so I again, I think it kinda ties back to
what I was saying about giving women permission
328
00:14:02,365 --> 00:14:03,264
to
show up imperfectly.
329
00:14:03,485 --> 00:14:04,225
Like, hey.
330
00:14:04,365 --> 00:14:08,365
It may not be the best day right now, but you
can still push forward in, you know, what you
331
00:14:08,365 --> 00:14:09,985
feel like you're supposed to be doing.
332
00:14:10,365 --> 00:14:10,865
Yes.
333
00:14:10,924 --> 00:14:13,424
And if you show up, you show yourself.
334
00:14:13,485 --> 00:14:15,830
You are there, and other people are.
335
00:14:15,830 --> 00:14:18,970
I'm not I know it's not about comparison.
336
00:14:19,909 --> 00:14:23,610
But you being here today is a is a gift.
337
00:14:23,909 --> 00:14:24,309
Yeah.
338
00:14:24,309 --> 00:14:24,809
Absolutely.
339
00:14:25,029 --> 00:14:25,850
You are present.
340
00:14:26,149 --> 00:14:26,649
Yes.
341
00:14:27,705 --> 00:14:27,945
Wow.
342
00:14:27,945 --> 00:14:29,085
Thank you so much.
343
00:14:29,144 --> 00:14:29,464
Yeah.
344
00:14:29,464 --> 00:14:34,904
Also, what you told about when you are sharing
the Bible or Scripture, you call it Scripture?
345
00:14:34,904 --> 00:14:35,404
Okay.
346
00:14:35,464 --> 00:14:36,825
Then it is different.
347
00:14:36,825 --> 00:14:39,245
There's a difference between sharing and
sharing.
348
00:14:39,304 --> 00:14:45,100
You can read a text, you can read something, or
you can give it life, your life, and this this
349
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:46,240
is also spirit.
350
00:14:46,460 --> 00:14:49,179
So inspiration, you know, this is in spirit.
351
00:14:49,179 --> 00:14:50,139
You enter into the
352
00:14:50,139 --> 00:14:50,620
spirit.
353
00:14:50,620 --> 00:14:51,120
Wow.
354
00:14:52,460 --> 00:14:53,759
That's so powerful.
355
00:14:53,980 --> 00:14:54,480
Yes.
356
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:55,600
In spirit.
357
00:14:56,059 --> 00:14:56,559
Yes.
358
00:14:56,940 --> 00:14:58,134
I love love that.
359
00:14:58,835 --> 00:15:03,475
So you you give it life by by your being and
you embody it.
360
00:15:03,475 --> 00:15:06,054
This is what I feel when we talk.
361
00:15:06,835 --> 00:15:08,695
Really, you are into it.
362
00:15:09,154 --> 00:15:09,600
Yes.
363
00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:10,799
I love that so much.
364
00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:11,839
I'm writing that down.
365
00:15:11,839 --> 00:15:12,899
That's so good.
366
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:14,319
This is good.
367
00:15:14,319 --> 00:15:15,220
You know what?
368
00:15:15,519 --> 00:15:20,419
We will have a book from the podcast with the
transcript.
369
00:15:20,959 --> 00:15:21,459
Yes.
370
00:15:21,679 --> 00:15:22,159
Wow.
371
00:15:22,159 --> 00:15:22,819
Oh, awesome.
372
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:23,759
Yeah.
373
00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:24,740
This is news.
374
00:15:26,054 --> 00:15:26,554
Yes.
375
00:15:26,774 --> 00:15:29,195
It has snowed, but you know now.
376
00:15:30,375 --> 00:15:31,115
That's amazing.
377
00:15:31,495 --> 00:15:33,434
That's a wonderful idea too.
378
00:15:33,815 --> 00:15:34,315
Yeah.
379
00:15:34,375 --> 00:15:35,355
It's so easy.
380
00:15:35,735 --> 00:15:36,934
Thank you so much.
381
00:15:36,934 --> 00:15:37,414
Okay.
382
00:15:37,414 --> 00:15:38,475
My next question.
383
00:15:39,334 --> 00:15:45,629
If people reach out to you after listening to
this episode with the quote inspired, so we
384
00:15:45,629 --> 00:15:49,490
know they are coming from that podcast through
the podcast.
385
00:15:49,870 --> 00:15:50,850
This is amazing.
386
00:15:52,429 --> 00:15:56,375
Do you have a special offer for the Inspire Yes
Slack community?
387
00:15:56,514 --> 00:16:01,715
So if there's anyone who's listening to this
and you want to start a business, because you
388
00:16:01,715 --> 00:16:05,894
feel like even if you love your corporate job,
you feel like there's more you should be doing.
389
00:16:06,034 --> 00:16:08,375
I have what's called the Brand Builder's
Blueprint.
390
00:16:08,860 --> 00:16:10,620
And so it's one of my courses.
391
00:16:10,620 --> 00:16:15,740
And if you use the code inspire, then, yes, you
can get a special price off of that Brand
392
00:16:15,740 --> 00:16:20,139
Builder's Blueprint course that will walk you
through what kind of business you should start,
393
00:16:20,139 --> 00:16:24,625
how to start it on a budget, and then how to
even, like, barter for services because that
394
00:16:24,625 --> 00:16:29,745
can be a thing, and then how to get your, you
know, kind of dip your toe into early stages of
395
00:16:29,745 --> 00:16:30,245
marketing.
396
00:16:31,024 --> 00:16:31,524
No.
397
00:16:31,985 --> 00:16:32,965
You were frozen.
398
00:16:33,504 --> 00:16:36,450
You were frozen, but you spread your message.
399
00:16:36,450 --> 00:16:36,850
Right?
400
00:16:36,850 --> 00:16:37,330
Yeah.
401
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:39,250
You were frozen for a second.
402
00:16:39,250 --> 00:16:39,750
Okay.
403
00:16:39,889 --> 00:16:42,070
