That's why I created a clear roadmap to compelling college and scholarship applications that reduces stress and saves you time and money, so you can confidently guide your child to a bright future. One student told me, "Your insights and feedback were truly invaluable...Now I am going to a highly competitive college free...and they're paying me to go." Ready for a lower-stress college launch?

INTRODUCTION

Developing the kind of faith that ushers in miracles is something that you can and should do. You have a right to believe, no matter what anyone else believes. And building this kind of faith requires you to expand your understanding of what faith really means. Listen to what Coach Donna Marie shares, based on her expertise as a certified spiritual leadership coach, and deeply rooted in her own experiences with miracles.

NOTES AND HIGHLIGHTS

  • Just because you love someone doesn’t mean you have to have loose boundaries with them. Having firm boundaries can protect your relationship with yourself and with them… it helps you to love them as you love yourself. Loving someone else is respecting their boundaries.
  • Having faith doesn’t mean you never worry, you never doubt, it means that you’ll allow the Lord to remind you not to worry and will learn what steps to take to reduce your anxiety; it means you’ll allow the Lord to help your unbelief and will believe Him when he finally shows up with the physical manifestation of the person/thing/change you dreamed and prayed about for a very long time
  • Having faith means you trust God to be with you even amid the worst circumstances. It means you trust God to help you learn from the wins and the losses so you can improve for the next time.

Are You In Crisis?

The tips and information available through this podcast are not a replacement for professional mental health or medical support you may need if you’re not just grieving, but also are experiencing serious depression, suicidal, or homicidal thoughts. If you’re not safe:

  • Call 911: for emergency support due to imminent danger, reach out to your local responders for help
  • Call 988: If you’re having thoughts of self-harm or suicide and want to talk with someone right away
  • If you may need other types of support, see the free Grief Guide for other helpful resources that may you find help for challenges with: disability, caregiving, work discrimination, and more.

Self-Coaching Summary

Coach Donna Marie is very empathetic towards those who are grieving and recovering from trauma. So, she has been sharing as a mentor via this podcast. Take the time to try the journaling exercise over at least a 90-day period so that you can see your progress over time. If you do it, it will change your life by changing your perspective, if nothing else. If you choose to do this, come back and let me know how this helped you to push past grief and continue pursuing your goals and dreams, no matter how big or small they are.

Conclusion and More Mentorship

Coach Donna Marie is also developing a more formalized mentorship program via Patreon for those who want more support in a more private setting and the ability to interact more and get more feedback. Download the free grief guide to learn more about this mentorship program and the free one week trial.

God bless you and yours this holiday season.

Sincerely,

Coach Donna Marie, Host of the Plant Your Seeds of Transformation Podcast
