An Advent Mindset for Your Best Year Ever

Are you aware of how often you limit yourself by allowing a negative mindset to determine your path?

Michael Hyatt’s book ‘Your Best Year Ever – A 5-step plan to achieving your most important goals’ invited me to let go of fear and to step outside of my comfort zone with confidence.

In this episode of The Walk, I share how the time of Advent encourages us to follow the Virgin Mary in her faith that God will provide and that our ‘yes’ to the next step is all it takes to help realize God’s plan with us.

In the premium version of the podcast for my patrons, I share how I applied this insight when I decided to embark on an exciting trip very soon!

The Walk: The Joy of Learning As An Adult

If you are like me, you may not reserve much time in your busy life for learning or studying new things. Isn’t learning something you did in school when you were young? Haven’t we got more important things to do now that we are adults? However, this past year, I have rediscovered the power and the joy of studying new topics. In this episode of The Walk, I share with you how I became a student again, and how adult learning has enriched my life.

During the extra mile that I record for my patrons, I share some behind the scenes information about my work and about some of the projects that I am preparing for the winter months.

In this episode of The Walk, I talk about the one thing Yoda wants his apprentices to do: finish what they begin.
