How to Deal with Self-Doubt
What if the self-doubt you’re feeling isn’t a sign to stop… but your signal to keep going? 💛Y’all, I am sitting right outside the Women’s Symposium, getting ready to launch my very first book, Joy Is My Favorite Color, and my heart is just overflowing. Ever since I was a girl of 10 years of age sitting on my bed in an uncertain home shaped by alcoholism, books have been my sanctuary. I learned from my reading journey that resilient people don't complain, they speak what they want and find solutions in every hardship they are faced with. I always dreamed of writing a book that made someone else feel that same hope and comfort.Friends, no matter what your circumstances are, remember that you are always bigger on the inside. When we fill our souls with gratitude, daily affirmations, and love, that inner light magnifies and overflows to everyone around us.Episode Highlights: [00:25] Books as a Lifeline [02:06] Why Self Doubt Shows Up [03:06] Giving God Your Calendar [04:03] Sponsors and Gratitude [08:09] Turning Doubt Into Action [13:53] Bigger on the Inside [15:29] Gratitude AffirmationBig Thanks To Our Sponsors:Buffalo Rock Pepsi: buffalorock.com/locations/panama-cityHoliday Beach Mechanical: holidaybeachmechanical.comTeam Patriot LLC: teampatriotllc.comHue Salon & Boutique: huesalonandboutique.comGypsy Willow: gypsywillowretail.comElysian Med Spa: elysianmedspapcb.comBeachy Beach Real Estate: beachybeach.comFerrucci Ristorante: ferruccipc.comSomething's Cookin': somethingscookincatering.comNew Merch & Book Updates!My New Merch: Check out our official Joy Is My Favorite Color and Be Sweet Ya'll Merch!The Book: Joy Is My Favorite Color will be available on the website very soon stay tuned for updates!Sign Up for Love Notes: Never miss a weekly boost of encouragement sign up for my Love Notes email newsletter at www.besweetyall.com!Let's Stay Connected!Follow along @BeSweetYall on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube so you never miss an episode.Presented by ADF MediaBe sweet, y'all! 💕

Don't Pre-Apologize for Your Amazing Life!
One of my favorite speakers, Jon Acuff, said something this week that stopped me cold: "We like labels because they offer an explanation for behavior we don't want to change." Ouch. I felt seen, called out, and set free all at the same time and I had to bring it straight to you. In this episode, I'm sharing the quote that changed the way I see every excuse I've ever made, why "I'm just not good at that" might be the most expensive sentence you ever speak over yourself, and what I finally realized after years of running on Karen Power and wondering why I kept hitting the wall. I'm also getting real about a pattern I see in myself and so many of the people I love, pre-apologizing for the very gifts that helped us survive. The affirmations I've been writing since I was ten years old, the ones that carried me through addiction in my home, heartbreak, and seasons with nothing left. I've been calling them "just a little affirmation book." Not anymore. our gifts were never meant to come with an apology.Episode Highlights:[01:12] The labels we use as excuses not to change[03:17] "I'm not talented and smart enough to be unprepared"[06:24] What going to bed discouraged is really telling you[13:32] Karen Power vs. plugging into the RIGHT source[17:56] You can't change others — but you have 100% control over changing yourself[19:41] When you stop saving people, they learn to save themselves[25:37] I've been pre-apologizing for my own gifts — and I'm done![30:04] Anticipate the best — the Shore House story that got me good[31:29] Closing affirmation & sendin' you off with a full heartSpecial Thanks to Our SponsorsBuffalo Rock Pepsi: www.buffalorock.comSumthin's Cookin': https://somethinscookin.com/homeHoliday Beach Mechanical: https://www.holidaybeachmechanical.comTeam Patriot LLC: https://teampatriotllc.comGypsy Willow: https://gypsywillowretail.comHue Salon: https://www.huesalonandboutique.comElysian Med Spa: https://elysianpcb.com/Ferrucci's: https://ferruccipc.com/Shore House Furniture: https://shorehousefurniture.comLinks & Resources: The Road Less Stupid by Keith J.
