125 | Expect The Unexpected

WITH ANDREA CRISP

“Life has a way of handing us expected things, especially when we have a carefully laid out plan — and in those moments we’re forced to change course. To find a new solution. ”

— Andrea Crisp

About This Episode:

How would your life be different if you learned how to expect the unexpected? The problem with expectations is that we can become so attached to the outcome that we lose ourselves in the process. And if we’re not careful we can be overcome with disappointment and frustration when things don’t turn out the way we’ve planned.

Today on the podcast we’re talking about how we can begin to loosen our grip on what we’ve carefully planned out to embrace the possibilities of what could be.

123 | When Is It A Good Time To Leave A Toxic Situation?

WITH ANDREA CRISP

“You have stayed too long when you are feeling criticized when people are using their knowledge of you for harm. The warning signs are all around you when you hear people discrediting you (or others) when it comes to your dreams and purpose. And its definitely time to leave if you are being emotionally, physically or spiritually abused. ”

— Andrea Crisp

About This Episode:

During times of crisis and hardship, it’s easy to doubt whether or not you have the fortitude to stick things out. 

There is value in staying and being in hard things but there is also value in knowing when it’s time to leave. But how do we know the difference? And why is that we stay too long in the first place? Maybe you’ve been feeling like you’ve overstayed a job or a relationship or perhaps even hung on to an opportunity that you don’t feel aligned with anymore. 

Today on the podcast, I’m going to share with you what I’ve been learned and continue to learn about staying power. Staying in hard things, in hard emotions, in hard relationships, and how to get the most out of those moments in life and also maybe when it’s time to let go and walk away.

120 | Are Your Dreams Still Worth Pursuing?

WITH ANDREA CRISP

“So if you’re asking whether or not your dreams are still worth pursuing then that is the question you should be asking God.

Maybe life won’t look like you thought it was going to look. You may even find that what your dreams were no longer seem important enough to pursue. In fact, you may be thinking bigger, bolder. ”

— Andrea Crisp

In This Episode:

Is the fear of the future holding you captive, keeping you paralyzed from taking action on the very dreams that once propelled you forward? It’s common to be asking yourself where you should be going from here. So much has changed in the world, and life is no longer what it once was pre-COVID.

Are you wondering if your dreams are still valid? In this episode, I’m sharing with you how fear tends to hold us back, and how you can position yourself to really get the answer you need to move forward with or without your dreams.

114 | Are You Struggling To Gain The Approval Of Others

WITH ANDREA CRISP

“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

“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.
