Don't Let Go of Your Dreams
May 05, 2021 06:00 - 23 minutes - 16.3 MBMaybe you’ve abandoned a precious dream. Buried it under shame brought on by others’ judgment about it's worthiness or feel your dream just “isn’t in the cards” for you. And even more, we sometimes have dreams that aren’t even ours and are simply copied from others (ehemmm, go listen to last week’s episode). We can find ourselves chasing something we don’t even really want or fits who we are. Your dream either lives in the dark OR you’ve stopped considering it at all OR you aren’t even su...
Finding Your Purpose by Staying in Your Own Lane
April 28, 2021 07:00 - 34 minutes - 23.9 MBToday’s title may seem a little bit sassy, and I intended it to be, haha! What does it mean to stay in your own lane, and how does it impact us? This conversation could be a continuation of sorts to the previous Episode 31: The Burden to Better with Heather Creekmore. And I wanted to continue it a bit because I see the pervasiveness of comparison and striving in our culture that sets us up to be routinely discontent, disenchanted, and morose with daily life. For many of us, we are walking...

Are you stuffing, repressing, ignoring things going on so that you can just get through your day? I get it. Let’s talk about it!

Becoming A Parent
March 03, 2021 07:00 - 24 minutes - 16.9 MBThere is nothing that we can do to prepare ourselves for parenthood. We can have ideals, but we can’t predict what we will walk through. This isn’t going to be an episode about “how to be a parent” but rather, cultivating a healthy mindset around it. Parenting, in my opinion is one of, if not THE MOST important responsibility for the kingdom of God there is. The miracle of life is something that cannot be missed. The shear feat of a baby making it through birth is a miraculous blessing. Lif...
Why You May Be Stuck and Complacent
February 24, 2021 07:00 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MBWhy You May Be Stuck and Complacent In this episode we are talking about being stuck and complacent in life. We often believe that by going through the motions of attending church, and saying all the rhetorical things keeps us connected. But honestly, it’s about our hearts. Our relationships with Christ can’t be curated. It has to be felt. We are often stuck because we are battling our flesh. We question what is happening in our lives, and what purpose we have here. In this episode we dig...

How To Stop Sabotaging Thoughts
January 20, 2021 07:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MBHave you ever had a goal in mind, or been in a situation where your own self-talk or inner dialogue stops you in your tracks? Me too! So in this episode, we are discussing sabotaging thoughts. We often overlook the power we have over ourselves. We can single-handedly ruin a relationship, quit working towards a goal, and stay stuck in negative headspace. Most of the time this is prevalent when we aren’t realizing the strength we have in Christ to carry our burdens and release us from our o...
Walking Through Difficulty
January 13, 2021 08:00 - 34 minutes - 23.8 MBWelcome to The Thought Vault! In this episode we are going to tackle the topic of difficulty. We all know that life isn’t easy. It doesn’t always turn out the way we want, and sometimes life is so hard that we question our faith or how we can make it through. Pain and grief, jealousy and bitterness, vengeance and anger are all part of the human condition. As a Christian, sometimes we can believe that we shouldn’t have these feelings. But in the Bible, emotions are part of the story. All of...

Cynicism is Robbing You
September 30, 2020 05:00 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MBToday’s episode of The Thought Vault is about cynicism. I believe cynicism runs the world, and this perspective of life is robbing people of a life well-lived. You may have cynical people in your life or may be a cynic yourself. Either way, this episode is going to sting a little bit. But if we don’t challenge ourselves, what are we doing here? We gotta grow! So we’re jumping into this one. You probably think that being cynical keeps you from getting hurt by other people and situations when...

September 23, 2020 05:00 - 21 minutes - 14.5 MBIn today’s episode we talk about MOTIVATION! I struggle with motivation. I overthink, and suffer (yes, suffer) from Perfectionism and these two things are HUGE motivational blocks. We all have dreams, and goals that we want to achieve no matter the scale, but do you keep finding yourself no further along year after year? Are you constantly resetting the “resolution” clock every New Years??? ME!! I’ve been there, so let’s dive into what motivation is and how we can get more of it! What is m...

Last week, we talked about personality traits and the importance of spending time focusing on who we are and how God created us.

Embracing the Unknown
September 02, 2020 05:00 - 17 minutes - 12.4 MBEmbracing The Unknown In today’s episode we are talking about the unknown, and how we can embrace it with confidence. The story of Gideon is so interesting to me. As someone who over-analyzes and doesn’t want to lose control >> I identify with his journey. He questioned his ability and “tested” God’s choice of him to carry out a calling on his life. I’ve been there before and I know I may be there again and again throughout my life. The truth is it can be hard to be confident in God’s pro...
Learn to Rewrite Your Story for a Better Future
August 26, 2020 05:00 - 27 minutes - 18.8 MBWe've all heard the words subconscious, and conscious.

August 12, 2020 05:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MBOn this episode of The Thought Vault, we are going to talk about comfort. Comfort is not something that we think of as being a problem, but I think after this conversation you may think a bit otherwise. Comfort is something we all understand. It’s our softest robe, our best fitting jeans, and our favorite coffee order from Starbucks. It’s the smell of your grandma’s house, the way your mom hugs you when she sees you. Your own bed after you’ve been away, and the way you feel in the car on a...

Often times you don’t even realize that it’s fear keeping things the way that they are and prohibiting us from shifting and changing and thinking differently to better ourselves, our circumstances, or any type of challenge that we are facing. Fear is a BIG emotion, and it manifests itself in different ways. Pride, lazines...
The Connection to Whole Body Wellness

You’ve heard this before, but i'm bringing this topic to our episode today because we all need to think of our total wellness with these three components > mind, body, and soul.

Finding Joy
June 17, 2020 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MBFinding joy is a concept I have marveled at for 3 important reasons - 1) is because I often ponder "can joy really be found?" 2) because I love learning and researching personal development and 3) Well, joy can sometimes be elusive to me.

The Anecdote for Regret
June 03, 2020 05:00 - 30 minutes - 20.9 MBRegrets, we all have them right? I mean they are a human response to life and living. Regrets can play an intricate part of self reflection, learning lessons and even bettering one's life so to speak. But when regrets become a ruminating thought and play like a broken record in your mind, it is then that past regrets can become crippling because your focus on the past will begin to absorb the present time. And the thoughts of the "woulda, coulda, shouldas" will become a trap that's hard to e...
The Hard Work of Forgiveness
May 27, 2020 05:00 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MBWe all hear that forgiveness is healing. That we heal ourselves from forgiving others and that it’s a gift when forgiveness is offered to us. From a biblical sense, this is precisely what we are taught as Christians; we should forgive the same way Christ forgave us.
