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

 
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.

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.

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.

WITH ANDREA CRISP

 
Andrea Crisp - The Couragecast.png
“In the midst of uncertainty — we have to think outside of the box. Look at problem solving in a whole new way.”
— Andrea Crisp
 

About Episode:

No one really wants to live in uncertainty. We crave safety and security, not living in the unknown. Considering our current climate with COVID-19 taking a toll on health care, the economy, relationships, and life, in general, the one thing that we can be certain of is that we need to embrace not knowing during these unsettling times. 

In this episode, I’m outlining three powerful questions that I believe will help you thrive and not just survive in times of uncertainty. And I’ll share with you why you should embrace not knowing during these uncertain times.

107 | Accepting This Present Moment

WITH BRADY TOOPS

 
bradytoops.png
“We are in the space in which all of life happens and to hold on to any one moment or any one feeling or any one thought causes suffering but to try to learn how to be open to be the space to which all of life can be experienced is the goal, and how do we stay open. ”
— Brady Toops
 

About Episode:

Learning to accept the present moment becomes the only antidote to pain and loss. Maybe you find yourself questioning your own faith, understanding of God, the divine. Perhaps you’ve left a community of believers, or perhaps you’ve never even been to a church in your life but you consider yourself a very spiritual person. I’d like to invite you into this conversation with Brady Toops as we explore spirituality and faith means to us on an individual level. 

In this episode, we talk about Brady’s addiction to success, how his deconstruction of faith altered the way he views the world and spirituality. We talk about why we resist letting go, and why pain is inevitable. 

"The pain of deconstruction, the drying up of monetary means forces us into a new place, that is life helping us grow, evolve and change. God is too kind to let us stay in the small place that we were in.” Brady Toops. 

Brady Toops is a singer-songwriter based out of Nashville, TN. Brady’s distinct and soulful sound garnered national acclaim. He appeared on Season 11 of ABC’s hit reality TV show, ’The Bachelorette’. Brady is the host of The Unravel, a podcast designed to both challenge and help you live more inspired. The Unravel explores spirituality and examines the deep questions of life.
