Hola Amiga,Have you been thinking about changing jobs or careers? Are you a stay at home mom who's transitioning back into the work force? Or maybe you are a student about to graduate and you not sure what to do next?  Regardless of which of these transitions you are in, you are still saying good bye to one thing and hello to another which is uncomfortable.This is why transition is very often a scary word. I believe you see it as scary because you are most often going from the comfortable, what you know & expect to the uncomfortable & truthfully who likes being uncomfortable.  Another way to put it is transition forces you to let go of the familiar and face the future feeling vulnerable.  I don’t know about you, but feeling vulnerable to me is not fun but it is a necessity for growth.  Listen in on this episode as we face transition head on!  You'll understand that every emotion you go through in transition is normal and that you can embrace those emotions and  walk in the calling God has for you. If you are in a season where you want to know how to transition into your God-given calling and career, reach out to me on instagram @ https://www.instagram.com/igniteyourcalling/or facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/groups/kingdombusinesswithsophiaestrella/and I'll send you the link to my upcoming free Masterclass.  Let's do this!!

Hey Amiga!  Welcome Back! We're starting an exciting series on being a Christian that transforms the marketplace by diving into the 7 areas God is calling His people to infiltrate and the significance of each of those areas.  When I say God has called you for more, Believe it!!In addition, we’ll address the lie that some of us think that working in the marketplace is less spiritual or less in status than working in full time ministry or a church.  I know I struggled with this for years! But it took one word from God to change that!And....Being that school just started, lets focus on the mountain of Education.   It is one of the most powerful that affects generations.   Satan has strategically taken this mountain because the training you receive as a child will guide you as you get older and affect generations so if we can continue to keep God out, we bring up a faithless generation.  Whoa! That Hits Hard. But listen in as you learn ways to infiltrate this mountain.  Let's Do This!!Connect with me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/igniteyourcalling/  or join my facebook group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/kingdombusinesswithsophiaestrellaCheck out my website for coaching options or to start your own business: https://www.kingdomcareerandcalling.com/Blessings,Sophie
