Awakening Hope with Jennifer LaGuardia...When you just need to hear that Encouraging Voice...

Sunshine for Your Mind...

Do you ever have those days you’re in kind of a mental funk and need help getting into a positive place in your mind? So there’s a few thoughts I wanna share, for bringing sunshine into the headspace...

Your Power to change the Story of your Life...

When your soul feels tired…. there’s no amount no pre workout mix or coffee bean to fix that… if you are someone who just feels so exhausted in your spirit, you feel like you’ve been running on an empty tank for a really long time… maybe you’ve been fighting what feels like an uphill battle with no hope in sight… maybe you've been carrying a dream in your heart that doesn’t seem like it will ever go beyond the vision in your mind… Allow me to speak into your life… I’ve lived pretty much my whole life being faced with circumstances where the only stability I had to hold onto was my faith…One of the greatest gifts I discovered out of this is that purpose often emerges out of your greatest struggles and deepest pain… This purpose will turn flat line defeat into being energized in your soul…your power to change the story of your life. There are 4 practices I live by for tapping into this energy… and changing the story of your life...

The Power Of Gratitude

Gratitude is such a powerful force... it is an energy that can change an atmosphere, the state of your mind... and the condition of someone’s spirit. It is an energy that opens the flow of abundance into your life and connects you to a Power...greater than yourself. Gratitude isn’t just something I practice, it’s a lifestyle and mindset I try to live every day. I get asked a lot ...how I can stay so positive when there’s so much negativity in the world?! For me ...it begins with gratitude...

Take Your Power Back!

If today you might be faced with something super negative and you don’t know what to do with it…. how to get past it or how to change it... allow me to speak into your life about getting your power back, and not living defeated! Mindset is everything! I’m obsessed with mindset and helping people make having a champion mentality be a way of life, because it will literally pry open the door to where you feel trapped, stuck and hopeless. This is NOT about ignoring or denying that something negative happened, it’s not about pretending like everything’s ok and not feeling the emotions you are feeling… It’s about being able to look at a situation and reframe the perspective. Being able to take a step back, stop yourself from obsessing over the negative, and downward spiral emotionally…. Having a champion mindset is about looking for the hidden opportunity, the blessing in disguise.. it’s about TAKING YOUR POWER BACK AND FOCUSING on what you have the power to change… and choosing to make it your mission to change it for the better…by looking at it from a place of strength instead of defeat...

Along the lonely, desolate road pursuing your dream...

Pursuing a dream can feel like you're on this lonely, desolate road with no sign in sight, no indication of where you are, or how close you might be to some kind of breakthrough... And you might find yourself panicking in your head thinking...what if I don’t make it? What if I never become even close to what I thought I’d become? What if i never achieve anything close to what I need to make happen ?! My friends, allow me to speak into your life… When God puts something Extraordinary in your heart… it’s more than possible. But it takes being able to believe so deeply in your heart, what only your heart sees. That is what faith is... real faith...believing in something you can’t yet see, but your heart knows it’s real. When you have nothing else to hold onto... nothing but the vision of that dream in your heart...

When your plans don’t work out...Letting go...

One of life’s greatest challenges is letting go...believing one of two things will happen… if it’s divinely aligned with your life ...it’s yours, and nothing can take that away from you. But if it’s not in Divine Alignment, space is being created for what is...something infinitely better than you could have ever imagined possible. This is true of both dreams and relationships, but letting go of what you think is the perfect plan to allow space for what you can’t yet see… to just trust that inner voice inside… is terrifying. It’s been my experience, that God will sometimes allow doors to shut when it feels impossible to let go … and sometimes God will allow storms to barrel through your life just to clear the path for that greater something to come into your life...

Step of Faith...when you can’t see the bridge

The thought of living with regret...terrifies me. I would rather sustain an epic failure, than live my life on the sidelines wondering “what if” The thought of missing out, the thought of staying back and letting life pass me by is completely a non option. Friends, I have crashed hard more times than I can count… Life experience is your best coach and if you desire anything extraordinary in this life… you have to be willing to step out in faith before you see the bridge. If it doesn’t happen the way you hoped it would...don’t give up thinking it ends there!You have the power to choose how your story is gonna go but you gotta keep taking chances that require a Faith bigger than yourself. Faith is the bridge between where you are right now... and the extraordinary dream your heart reminds you of every single day...

078 Don't Settle...Listen to your Intuition!

Have you ever been in a situation when you sensed something was just “off” but logically made sense? You felt something in your gut that just wasn’t right .. but on paper or text, it seemed perfect? One of the greatest God given gifts you have is your intuition. It’s taken me many years to get to the point where I trust my own intuition, enough to not second guess it. It's especially critical to listen to your intuition when you're the most vulnerable...

077 When you feel like you should be so much further in life...

Have you ever felt like you should be so much further in life than you are? I have struggled feeling that way so many times throughout my life. One day when I was out for a long walk, just praying about how in the world can I move forward with so many things I really needed to see come to fruition in my life...and this visual popped in my head... it happened a while back and isn’t something that happens often, but was so impactful I never forgot it. This visual was of a little girl looking up at this ginormous gift box sitting on a top shelf completely out of her reach… she contemplated how to climb up and get to that box and was determined to try. The most loving presence surrounded her as she just stood there gazing up at this big beautiful gift box and then I pictured what would be God wrapping His arms around her and lovingly explaining to her that the gift was hers but if she tried to reach for it now and knock it down...it could fall on her and crush her. But one day she’d be strong enough to reach up for that gift and carry it away… I felt the deepest sense of peace that God gives us these beautiful gifts to have and share with the world… but oftentimes if success comes too soon, before having any clue how to manage it… it could destroy you. You could be crushed by the weight of a calling you try to carry too soon. Not that any of us are little kids by any means, but that vision wasn’t about age...it was about the preparation involved for what its gonna take to become and fulfill all that God has planned for your life....

How your Scars becomes a Masterpiece...

Some of the greatest, most beautiful people I know...are the ones who walked through their own personal hell…survived, and despite sustaining some pretty ferocious scars, made the choice to not become bitter, but to become someone better. You may be wrestling with the negative voices in your head. That dark force has you convinced that what just happened is now who you are. The convincing lies that the scars are your identity...What crushed you...now owns you, and your worth is rock bottom. My beautiful friends, if this is you...allow me to speak into your life... Your sense of value and worth may feel like nothing but a vapor, but the truth is...Your very existence is a precious gift in this fallen imperfect world...and you have a purpose that no one else can fill. You are not defined by what just happened. Your pain does not own you. You have access to a Power so much greater than your pain, and so much Higher than your circumstances. I want to share with you, one of my own personal experiences for how God transformed my scars into the greatest turning point of my life…
