    • Sharing wild thoughts and emotions can bring relief and clarityExpressing wild thoughts and emotions can help us gain clarity, let go of tension, and inspire us with our dreams

      Expressing our wild thoughts and emotions, whether they're negative or positive, can bring relief and clarity. Kate shared her personal experience of how saying out loud something that was causing her upset allowed her to let go of the tension. She also emphasized the importance of acknowledging and holding on to our wild dreams, as they can inspire and motivate us. Our brains have the power to create wild thoughts and visions, and by expressing them, we can gain a better understanding of ourselves and our desires. So next time you have a wild thought or dream, don't be afraid to share it with someone or write it down. You never know what kind of impact it might have on your life.

    • Speak your wild thoughts aloudExpressing unconventional thoughts or dreams out loud can bring relief and progress. Don't be afraid to embrace the unknown, whether it's a fear or a desire, and let it guide you forward.

      Expressing the wild and unconventional thoughts or dreams out loud can bring relief and progress. The wild thing could be something that is causing you distress and anxiety, and once you vocalize it, you free yourself from its grip. Alternatively, the wild thing could be your deepest desires and aspirations. By saying them out loud, you acknowledge their existence and take a step towards making them a reality. Don't be afraid to embrace the wild and unknown – whether it's a fear or a dream – and let it guide you forward. Remember, you have the power to turn things around and make a positive change in your life. So go ahead, say it out loud, and watch as the magic unfolds.

    How important are prayer and intimacy with God to our dreams?

    Even the most faithful woman can get distracted by the flood of ideas that often accompanies a God-shaped dream. As the dream enters our awareness, we begin to feel excited—a little trepidation is normal too. Then, when we entertain the possibilities, suddenly there are so many ideas vying for our attention that it’s easy to forget that we are the clay and He is the potter.

    God is so gracious to call us back into an intimate and connected relationship with Him because He knows this relationship has to be the foundation for pursuing our God-shaped dreams.

    This mini episode is all about the undeniable necessity of prayer and intimacy with the Lord in the pursuit of your God-shaped dream.

    In it, we explore:

    • Prayer as a foundational practice that is essential for every devoted dreamer,
    • The significance of developing a close relationship with God,
    • and how prayer can transform your approach to achieving your dreams.

    How will you find balance between your dreams and your kids’ school routines?

    Amidst the flurry of back-to-school preparations, are you also quietly pondering what this season holds for your personal dreams?

    If you’re a mom with kids still living at home, your routines (and theirs) are likely about to shift big time! 

    For some, you’ll have more free time than you’ve had in years. (<- This is me with my youngest heading off to full-day kindergarten!) Or maybe you’ll have less time because your middle school and not-yet-driving high school aged kids have activities that put you in the driver's seat (for hours and days on end).

    Whatever your season of life or motherhood, you may feel tempted to rush headlong into assembling plans for your dreams. But before you do that, let’s hit “pause” and unpack what is really needed other than just more time to work on your dream.

    In this solo episode you’ll learn:

    • Why it’s necessary to reflect and reconnect before filling up your calendar with tasks and To-Dos,
    • The top qualities to look for as you build a support system,
    • How to create space for your dreams, if you don’t have a lot of time to yourself, and
    • How to overcome the fears and doubts that come when you’re getting ready to take action

    How do you commit to a dream you’ve felt too scared to share?

    Your dream is part of you; of course it feels vulnerable to speak about it, especially if you’ve tried in the past and it turned into a mess of mixed-up words as they tumbled out of your mouth.

    If you’ve been keeping your dream to yourself for longer than you’d like to admit, this is your cue that it’s time to learn how to talk about it privately if you ever have a hope of it coming to fruition publicly.

    If you're ready to uncover the game-changing potential of speaking your dream out loud, join me for an empowering and insightful practice that will grow your readiness for the dream.

    In this final solo episode of 2023, we explore:

    • the importance of speaking your dream out loud, even if it sounds discombobulated or feels uncomfortable,
    • how to use your creativity to bring your dream out of hiding, and
    • a simple challenge to help you get comfortable and find the words you want to use to talk about the dream.

    SOMETHING NEW IS COMING IN 2024:

    I’m creating something for the Devoted Dreamer who wants a road map to help guide her on the journey of stepping into a God-shaped dream in 2024.

    2558 Are Goals Clogging Your Clarity?

    2558 Are Goals Clogging Your Clarity?
    Life gets complicated with mindset, plans, and dreams. The roles you think that are well-defined confuse your direction. Are goals clogging your clarity? Have you ever had a pipe that won't drain? That annoying slow dribble down the drain with the remainder of water holding on for dear life to stay in the sink or tub or shower? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT It is ridiculous to the point that your expectation of the clogged drain deprives you of a relaxing and invigorating shower. Sometimes our goals can be just that, a clogged drain that won't go away. The determination to achieve the goals detracts away from the vision; the long-term goal or dream. (Because with every short-term goal there is a long-term goal.) If you want to achieve that which you believe to be your dreams for a lifetime, you must be willing to fight for clarity. And clarity is not about setting goals.  "Clarity is the companion to your audacious goals illuminating your vision daily." ~ Kristianne Wargo Does your clarity line up with your goals? Because if you rush to just get it done, the little things will be missed. To stay in the race, you have to set the P.A.C.E.! The K.I.S.S. ~ Set the P.A.C.E.! "Your goal should come from your soul. It's that connection to your vision moving you forward in the right direction." ~ Kristianne Wargo But if you are clogged up and can't find a way around the messes, how can there be blessings? You get to set the P.A.C.E.! That's the thing here. Sometimes we are so hip on getting it done that we forget there is a pace to achieving your dream and what you're going after. If you rush too much, you'll miss what's important. And if you go too slow, well you'll miss what's important.  So how do you set the P.A.C.E.? PRUNE what is in the way. There is so much stuff that gets in the way of what matters. Yet, you still try to do all it. If you want to reach your dream, you must prune what's in the way. ABIDE by your values. Don't sell yourself short or cut yourself out. You have to secure what you want by aligning your own set of guidelines; your values. If there's something you question, that's a good indication that you better think twice. Are you looking at things from the wrong perspective?  CONTRIBUTE daily to your vision. And you do this by setting the goals and taking one step every day towards them. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo ESTABLISH your rhythm. Here is where mindset and habits intertwine. It's the rhythm in your every day. Rhythm is a component of the synergy to create your now.  You've got to set the P.A.C.E.! Because when you set the P.A.C.E., you are opening the door to  what you value your goals opportunities your heart So if you want to win the race, you gotta set the P.A.C.E.! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation  - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.
