115 | A New Vision For Sex, Desire and Intimacy

WITH KAT HARRIS

Singleness has given me time to look back and see who am I becoming, what am I about, where am I called to and how am I stepping into that now.
— Kat Harris
 

About Episode

Today on the podcast we’re talking about love, being known, and the yearning we have to be intimate with someone. In a culture of instant gratification, sex is seen as a way for our personal desires to be fulfilled. But what if we start to look at relationships and physical intimacy in a new way. I’m joined by educator, podcaster, and founder of The Refined Woman, Kat Harris and we’re talking all about sex. 

In full disclosure this is a conversation between two single women sharing their experience and viewpoints. We're not experts, just real people sharing our thoughts on sex before marriage, abstinence, what the bible says about sex, and some of the damage that has been done through the purity culture. Whether you are single or married, this is a conversation you do not want to miss. 

Kat Harris is an online educator, speaker, author, and photographer. Her vision is to equip and empower women with practical tools to walk in their worth and navigate their lives grounded in freedom, vision, and wholeness.

114 | Are You Struggling To Gain The Approval Of Others

WITH ANDREA CRISP

 
AndreaCrisp-Couragecast1-Itunes.jpg
If you’re trying to seek the approval of people in your life you may be buying into the lie that you don’t have what it takes to be successful, and that will zap your confidence to take those bold steps that you know deep down you need to take.
— Andrea Crisp
 

About Episode

Today on the podcast we’re talking about the struggle we all face when we’re caught in the trap of trying to gain the approval. You're going to have to STOP living your life for other people and start living the life you were created to live. 

Moving past the approval of others is hard, but not impossible. Even in a pandemic. Especially in a pandemic. In fact, I can’t think of a better time to take those steps than right now. 

  • Clarify what is keeping you stuck?

    • What is the limiting belief that you have bought into?

    • Check the accuracy of those beliefs.

  • Make yourself a PRIORITY by cultivating your self-worth.

    • Give voice to your thoughts and opinions.

    • Determine what your core values are.

  • Give yourself permission to ALIGN with what you truly desire.

    • Release the victim mentality, fear of what others think.

    • Get real about what you truly want and how you can do that.

113 | Don't Shrink Your Dreams

WITH ANDREA CRISP

 
1.png
Don’t shrink your dreams to match your current situation. Expand your capacity to meet your dreams and destiny.
— Jim Kwik (paraphrased)
 

About Episode

Life is anything but predictable right now.

This week I was listening to one of my favourite podcasts (shout out to James Wedmore and The Mind Your Business Podcast) and special guest, Jim Kwik (author of the book Limitless).  I was so inspired by the conversation between him and James that it motivated me to talk about it here on The Couragecast.

The premise of what they were talking about boiled down to this…

Don't shrink your dreams to match your current situation. Expand your capacity to meet your dreams and destiny. 

And with what is going on in the world right now, I’d say there is no better time to expand our capacity than right now. 

In this episode I’m sharing with you five ways in which you can expand your capacity for growth.

In days like these, it’s important to sit with what is true and not what we wish was true.
— Sheila Walsh
 

About Episode

We’re all feeling the strain of what is happening in the world due to COVID-19. Sometimes it feels like a loss, and other times like opportunity. Both can co-exist within the same framework. You may be doing some deep soul searching, and you may be wondering where God is in all of this. 

Sheila Walsh is the best selling author, bible teacher, TV host, and speaker. Sheila’s books have sold over 5 million copies including her latest bestseller It’s Okay Not To Be Okay. In February 2020, she releases her newest book, Praying Women, How to Pray When You Don’t Know What To Say.

We talked about how we are facing a new reality, and what happens when we just don’t know what to say when we’re talking to God.

About Episode

Many entrepreneurs are facing uncertainty and challenges in their business right now. With everyone competing for a place in the market right now the temptation is stronger than ever to compare our success with that of someone else. The problem with comparison is that it keeps us playing small.

Now her mission is to raise awareness, address the stigma, and provide a supportive community for those living with mental health and eating disorders. She shares her story to help others find the hope to continue with their own journey.
