In this episode, I introduce my coaching tool for Christian women, exploring positive indicators in decisions. Ditch the red flags and pave your way to impactful choices, whether in business or personal growth.
Let's explore the Green Flag Framework, a tool I developed in pursuit of better supporting Christian working women. Unlike popular focus on red flags, this approach encourages us to identify and pursue the positive signs in our lives, instilling in us a fresh perspective on decision-making, relationship-building, and achieving success.
The Green Flag Framework consists of recognizing 'green flags' in different life situations and learning from them. Whether you're forming a new relationship, exploring career opportunities, or making everyday choices, this framework guides you to understand and embrace the 'gold' extracted from your experiences and strengths, thereby offering direction and confidence.
This framework highlights the significance of continuous learning and self-improvement. The process of enhancing your green flag recognition involves asking questions, experimenting, and constantly adapting - all of which foster self-awareness and a positive impact on your communities. Moreover, it reassures us that it's acceptable if the green flags for two individuals don't always coincide - the principal premise is to understand what's right for you and make the most of your unique journey.
Let's take a deep dive into the five-step framework that lays a solid foundation to move from being curious learners to passionate practitioners, and finally, inspiring models for others. While the journey is personal, the impact you make by pursuing your green flags extends to your community at large. It's not about building a perfect life, but about understanding what you profoundly value and shaping your life around it fearlessly.
Explore how you can utilize this notable tool for personal growth, expanding your positive impact, and confidently making meaningful decisions. Unearth the possibility of an enriching life anchored in your values - one green flag at a time.
Discover your 'yes' with the Green Flag Framework! In this episode, I introduce my coaching tool for Christian women, exploring positive indicators in decisions. Ditch the red flags and pave your way to impactful choices, whether in business or personal growth.
Key Points:
• Green Flag Framework unveiled
• Red flags vs. green flags
• Five steps to identify green flags
• Telling others about green flags
• Live out green flags passionately
It's entirely possible for you to feel empowered to align with your personal and community values for a fulfilling life's journey.

Sometimes we pursue a God-given dream but fear and debt can get in our way.
Are you struggling to obey God when you don't see a clear path ahead? You can choose the path less traveled. You don't have to take the easy route as long as you are willing to play the long game and stand your ground.
Dive into an intimate tale of faith, family, and audacity with me today. Discover how a spiritual commitment, coupled with unwavering resolve, led to a miraculous, debt-free adoption and life-changing adventures.
Sometimes we're clear on what we're supposed to do, but we don't see how God will provide for us if we step out in faith and obey.
I had a God-given dream of adopting a child at age 15 that didn't come to pass for another 12 years. While I waited, a few unexpected steps and requirements were added to the process that made it feel nearly impossible to me.
Along the way, I doubted God. I doubted myself. I struggled to manage the hurtful comments of people who meant well but were mis-informed about adoption.
Listen to my story of surprising provision and let it encourage you today.
Key Points:
My struggles with God's financial path
Our financial leap of faith that led to adoption
The discomfort of sharing about our adoption journey openly
Embracing help to persist in a calling
You've got this, and God's got you!

The topic of money can be controversial.
In this episode, I share with you some of my life's experiences with money - years of lack, years of abundance, and years of in-between.
It's been a heartfelt journey from scarcity to financial independence. Let's talk about how embracing abundance can fuel generosity. Discover the empowering connection between personal wealth, impactful giving, and living a purpose-driven life in this inspiring episode.
Key Points:
• Pursuing more financially
• The intertwining of faith and finances
• Responsible stewardship of wealth
• Advocating for one's worth
• The joy of impactful giving
We can struggle with the subject of money when we lack contentment or struggle with doubting God's provision.
I've learned that money is a tool that can be of great benefit in the hands of people who are intentional about stewardship.
Imagine a life where you understand your value enough to put yourself out there to earn more, but you don't over-value yourself so much that you try to keep all you earn.
I'm inviting you to wrestle with the idea about how we can follow Jesus, pursue financial independence, and not make money the center of our lives.
You might lack permission to pursue more financially, so here it is.
