Warrior Of Impact

Just a quick update on what’s going on in our world!

Modern dating is extremely hard but modern dating post-divorce and as a single parent has its own set of challenges. Have you done the healing work to have a healthy relationship with relationships?

Asking for help can feel like one of the hardest things to do, but why? Is it because we don't want help? Is it because we don't feel we deserve help? Or maybe we don't know how to ask for help? Whatever the reason, we convince ourselves that not asking for help is much easier, and I promise you we are wrong!

Have you ever been so afraid of the outcome that you don't even try?  or Maybe you predict the pattern of failure and move forward to prove yourself right?  What if I were to tell you that you are not alone in thinking this way?

What do you do when you have no idea what to do with your life? Start with what comes naturally and if you are lucky the results might be like our guest Katie Blomquist and you start spreading joy.   For more info about Katie visit the links provided:  https://www.goingplacesnonprofit.org/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-FsjqBDcDs  IG @going_places_nonprofit  FB @GoingPlacesNonprofit

You are lying to yourself and probably don’t even realize it. Once you plant the seed of doubt, it’s extremely hard to uproot.
