Frustration comes when we are UNABLE to do what we THINK we should be able to do, and it can hit at any level or under any circumstance.

Ep 147 | How God Can Use Your Battles and Breakthroughs to Help Others Create Their Beautiful Stories - with Quadruple Amputee Wendy Wallace

Does gratitude initially come to mind when you face trials? Are you thankful for the challenges you’re walking through right now? 

Can I be honest? Me neither… I mean, who wants to go through these challenges? Who naturally is grateful for pain? I know I tend to go into that self-pity, woe-is-me attitude without even thinking about it. Life is hard! 

Well, my friend Wendy has gone through obstacles most of us will never have to face, and she’s found gratitude through it. She’s learned how God allows our suffering to create a beautiful story of hope, joy, and peace and how God can use our battles and breakthroughs to help others. Her story exudes these concepts, and her battles have become breakthroughs and inspiration to everyone around her.

Wendy Wallace is a wife, mom, Christian Living & Positivity coach, Inspirational digital content creator at One Exceptional Life, and ice cream lover. She is also a quadruple amputee. A flesh-eating bacterial infection resulted in a coma, 3-month hospital stay, and amputations of both hands and both feet. 

What you might consider the worst thing that could possibly happen, actually was for her good and God's glory. By God's wonderful grace, she is living "One Exceptional Life" where, in true form with 2 Corinthians 1:4, “God comforted her in all her tribulations so that she can comfort, lift up and encourage other women to rediscover God’s joy and peace amid the trials of life.

I’m so ready to learn how she allowed God to create her own beautiful breakthrough story, so let’s dive in!

Ep 146 | Taken Off Course - Why Trials Come and What We Can Do about It

I was on top of my running game, near my peak, after qualifying for the 2020 Boston Marathon. Then a short two months later, all that changed when I accidentally slipped on black ice and badly broke my ankle. I went from having surgery to spending three months completely off my foot, another three months without exercise, and six more months of learning to run again. 

I’ve learned throughout that painful process that injury is a form of loss. The grieving process isn’t limited to death; it could show up in any major transition or trying circumstance. As I contemplated writing my latest book, Victory Run: Turning Trials into Triumphs, I wondered how a broken ankle could offer an impactful message, but as I walked out my own injury, I realized the significant changes and transitions it caused in my life.

How we walk through the grieving process is individual to each of us, but when we recognize the stages we are in, it is easier to fight through the pain and get to the other side.

Ep 145 | Is Balance Possible When You Have a Goal? - with Sara Jimenez

You are a busy working mama, and your season is full. I get it! You have a goal you’d like to work on for yourself, but you just don’t really know if it’s possible to go after that goal and still have balance in your life. You’re asking the question, is balance even possible when you have a goal?

Well, I can tell you first-hand that I’ve thought both ways – balance isn’t possible and you have to sacrifice everything to go after a goal (old me), and now I know balance is completely possible and you can still be present in your life while working toward a goal (new me). How? By understanding the season you are in and understanding how to break that goal down into manageable bites.

Today I have my good friend Sara here with me to share more about how to have both – balance and a goal. She has gone through the hot mess mom express, but she found a breakthrough realizing she was living the way she was based on beliefs that dictated her actions and that she didn’t have to live that way any longer, all she had to do was change, and that’s what she decided to do.

Ep 143 | 3 Reasons Having a Goal HELPS Your Kids - Why Your Kids NEED to See You Win

I LOVE being a mom, and I feel like it's been one of the greatest ministries I could ever have, what a gift! But I also, deep down inside, felt a stirring that I wanted to do something that matters outside of motherhood, something that would make an impact on others around me.

Sometimes I felt guilty for wanting something more than motherhood, but I also wanted to be my kids' best example, and how was I going to do that without following that call on my heart?

My greatest ministry is my children, and, because of that, I have to be willing to show them the way in which to walk. This includes how to listen to God's calling, how to set goals, how to take action on them, and how to win.

They are looking to me and my husband first, and if we're not willing to be that example, they will look elsewhere. I don't want that! I want to be their best example.

Today we're talking about the three reasons having a goal actually HELPS your kids. This will help give you permission to go after that goal stirring in your heart because your kids NEED you to!

Ep 142 | 5 Things You Should Delegate to Find Time for Your Goals

You want to work toward the goal you have right now, but every time you think about it, you also see a messy house and all the to-dos that need to get done. And, if you're not doing them, who will? Am I right?

Well, that doesn't have to be the case!

You worry about the to-dos because you feel like you're expected to be the one to do them all. Cleaning, driving, laundry, cooking, shopping, bedtime, prepping for school, and the list goes on. I'm worn out just listing the things off!

I was always burned out and frustrated when I tried to do it all. In a season where I literally couldn't because my plate was so full, I learned delegation. I haven't looked back since!

Today we dive into 5 things you should delegate to find time for your goals. Are you ready?

Ep 141 | Change How You Set Goals - 3 Tips for Setting Realistic, Doable Goals in Motherhood

Think about how you've set goals in the past. Have you followed a certain method? Have you set huge, monumental goals that you didn't even believe? Did you set monetary goals or numbers-based goals that may not have been in your control?

Well, I have done that too. I began my journey of setting goals thinking I had to set outlandish goals that seemed completely impossible. Granted, I love big dreams, and we should imagine huge, but that is not how to set the best goals that will take you to the finish line.

So, today, I want you to forget about everything you've learned about setting goals, come into this episode with fresh ears, bring a notebook and pen, and let's talk about the best way to set goals that you are confident in and that you will put the action toward.

These are the best kinds of goals!

Ep 140 | 6 Tips to Create White Space for Yourself - How to Find ME Time in the Busy-ness of Motherhood

Finding ME time can be quite taboo these days, but creating white space in your life can affect how you show up. When you have peace in the midst of a busy season, you show up rested and ready to tackle whatever comes. Peace comes from creating that time for yourself to just be. The quiet is a place to think, pray, and be creative.

The white space, the quiet, is good for us! In the noisy world we live in, we think we need to have background noise 24/7, but that's just not the case. The quiet isn't distracting. God can speak to us in the quiet.

But, I know you're thinking, "Gabe! I am in the busiest part of motherhood yet, or I feel like I am. How in the world can I find even 5 minutes for white space in my life?"

I hear ya, and I'm right with you. I felt the same way. Every second of my day was filled with something, and if I did have a few minutes, I'd turn on music or a podcast or scroll social. It was like quiet was my enemy because I was so used to all the noise. BUT when I let go of all the noise I created and actually made time to listen to my own thoughts, my days became more peaceful and rested — even with the busy schedule I still hold.

Want to know my 6 tips to create white space in your life and to create a little ME time in the busy-ness of motherhood? Then let's dive in!
