“Competition is a dangerous thing. When you are in the mode of competition, you are not thinking about self-development, you’re not thinking about working on you, or being your best self forward, you are in the catch-up and keep up.”

About Cheryl:

How do I disconnect my own desire for people’s approval?

Competition is a dangerous thing. When you are in the mode of competition, you are not thinking about self development, you’re not thinning about working on you, or being your best self forward, you are in the catch up and keep up. Cheryl Nembhard

078 | Having Faith To Believe

WITH PROMISE TANGEMAN

Sarah E Ball (2).png
 
“When I surrender, when the fear comes and the thoughts come I say I trust you, God, acknowledging it is there and acknowledge God in this situation.”
— Promise Tangeman
 

About Promise:

She lives in sunny California with her husband Brian and the pup who they affectionately call #thedogparker.

If we let it, our mental chatter will be something that robs us of our peace. The constant over thinking, and over analyzing. It’s exhausting — and in the end, really get’s us nowhere. When I asked Promise what her biggest takeaway has been during this season of her life she responded by saying that therapy has been something that changed her perspective on life. It’s kept her focus on the present, and helped her to ‘turn off her mind’.

What a concept right?

Honestly, I was so excited to talk to Promise. Her name literally at the top of my list when I decided to launch this podcast two years ago. A full circle moment. What I didn’t expect was to connect with her on such a deep level. A welcome surprise. Our conversation quickly became transparent and real, almost as if we were chatting over coffee in my living room.

Promise Tangeman is a boss in every sense, leading an exceptional team of designers at Go Live and the co-founder of Designer Vaca. She’s stylish, fun, and has a beautiful uniqueness about her. And she feels deep — and that comes across in this conversation. She shares with me her hope to one day become a mother and what her journey of infertility has been like. In turn, I share my hopes for marriage one day. And the tension of the in-between.

She lives in sunny California with her husband Brian and the pup who they affectionately call #thedogparker. This conversation is everything I hope for when I get the opportunity to share the story of a woman who lives bravely.

WITH ALEX STREET

“Movement, this idea that you have to be moving in your life, you are going to feel limited and purposeless, everyone else is doing something better, movement makes you feel more present where you are, you are more aware of what is going on. ”
— Alex Street
 

About Episode:

The tables are turning on me and I’m going to be coached on the podcast today. And can I just say that I absolutely LOVED it! There is no one I would have rather have coach me then my friend Alex Street. I had the opportunity to meet Alex this past summer when we were both serving at a church of a mutual friend. We connected instantly over shared interests and passions for empowering others.

Alex is a natural born story teller, he’s identifies as Enneagram Seven which means he’s super fun to have around. He’s a proud dad and husband. When he’s not auditioning for an acting gig you may find him recording his own podcast called ‘Made For This’, or coaching a millennial helping them to discover what they are made to do, or speaking at an event. 

Grab a pen and paper because Alex is about to walk you step by step through a process that will help you to overcome your limiting beliefs.

About Episode:

From the very beginning of the podcast, I've been partnering with my friend Stephen Crilly.

Not only is he an accomplished musician and sound engineer but he is also an advocate for women. For the past two seasons, he has written original music for the podcast and makes me sound like I'm recording in a professional studio.

We talk about the church, and how it handles mental health, and what we need to be doing.
