Introducing: The Wholehearted Coaching Collective and my Word for 2023! · The Wholehearted Enneagram Podcast

• 0:04
  SPEAKER_02: Hello and welcome to the Simply Wholehearted Podcast.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_02: I'm your host, Amy Wicks, your wholehearted living coach.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm so glad that you stopped by to spend some time with me.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_02: Are you curious about the Enneagram?
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_02: Do you want to learn biblical truths?
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_02: And have you wondered if there are life rhythms that will help you thrive?
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_02: Well, friend, then you are in the right place.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_02: For six years, this podcast has focused on sharing conversations with my friends about life, business, motherhood, faith, and all things Enneagram from a Christian perspective.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_02: I truly understand what it's like to juggle everything as a wife, mom to three teenagers, a pup, and all while building a growing business.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_02: And Friend, I haven't always done things with clarity, peace, or joy.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_02: But still, the Lord has taken my broken-hearted pieces and healed them so I can live with whole-hearted rhythms to provide women like you with a step-by-step process so you can get free of anxiety, shame, and frustrations that might be holding you back from thriving.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_02: I pray that the Lord speaks to you as you listen today and that you would invite your friends and family to join the fun conversations.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_02: Are you ready to laugh a little and learn a whole lot?
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_02: Alrighty, let's get to the conversation.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_02: Hey friend, I'm popping in your earbuds or airpods or whatever we call them one extra time this week for a fun, just off the cuff conversation to introduce you to something that has been, well, it's been a long work in progress and a lot of prayers behind this, but I'm also so so excited to tell you about it.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_02: And in short, I want to introduce you to something new here at Simply Wholehearted, and it's called the Wholehearted Coaching Collective.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, fancy, simple, cutesy, but this name means so much.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_02: Six years ago, I got the privilege of writing a book study for my dear friend Sarah Haggerty for her book Unseen, The Gift of Being Hidden in a World That Loves to Be Noticed.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_02: And to this day, it's a book I highly recommend.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_02: I got to really wear the pages, if you will.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_02: I got to massage them into a study for a group of women to go through together, or maybe even a husband and wife, and uh whether we're meeting in Zoom or in person, it is a wonderful book to go through.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_02: And I love how the book study came to fruition.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_02: It was just this wonderful opportunity to write really for a group of women that I was going to get to meet with myself and be able to try this material on, if you will.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_02: But out of that, writing the book study, helping Sarah launch her book, I got to meet with several different women, not only locally, but around the country, that were so excited about what was going to happen after this amazing book launch.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_02: What was going to happen with Simply Wholehearted?
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_02: At the time, I'd already had a podcast working and coming along and the pieces were coming together.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: And if you've been around here since the beginning of this podcast, which was March 17th, 2017, then you have heard about the collective before.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_02: Well, the collective ended up then lasting about six months, and it really was this amazing thing to see where the women began to launch into their own different paths, the different callings that they had, whether it was writing a book, going back to seminary, pursuing different career paths, and maybe even just dialing things back and focusing on their kids at home.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_02: But quickly I looked up into this simply wholehearted gig and the podcast and all the things that I was developing for this community, and I it was just me.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_02: And I felt lonely.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_02: Now, if you know this about me as an NAGram 7, loneliness and being alone, well, it's a little bit of a pain point.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_02: But the Lord taught me so much in those years of it just being He and I co-creating for this community, putting ideas together, putting things together that never saw the light of day, dreaming a lot of dreams, and me praying and asking him a lot of questions.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_02: I really see now that there were years there that I had to truly live, not just believe that his voice was louder than anyone else's.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: He had to be my business coach, if you will.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_02: And of course, all the other parts of my life as well.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: He was certainly coaching along the way.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_02: Really, I've come to find out that building a business is not about greater financial independence, but rather more dependence on the Lord.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_02: I tell you, the more and more I invest time, energy, and resources into this business, I really have come to lean on the Lord in greater measure.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_02: Fast forward to 2022, and I was seeing such amazing fruit from all the years of effort and work, not just from this podcast, but networking in person, getting to speak at different events, going to different conferences, being on lots of different podcasts, all of that fruit was finally, at least in my estimation, it felt like finally, it was coming to pass.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_02: And then I had this beautiful problem.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know that it's really a problem now, but I had this issue where I really wasn't able to serve every woman who was coming to me for one-on-one coaching.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_02: Now, I've done the group coaching thing and I do love it.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_02: I think for me, my sweet spot is the one-on-one or the small group coaching.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_02: Probably like 20 women or less.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_02: I really believe in giving that intentional one-on-one time and one-on-one investment.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_02: So as I was looking up and had well over 25 active clients, I thought, how am I going to keep doing this?
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_02: I want to serve these women.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_02: I want to help them.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_02: Well, what was interesting is that a lot of those current clients, I was beginning to see a theme.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_02: Most of those clients were Enneagram coaches and not just Enneagram coaches, but several of them were spiritual directors, life coaches, health coaches.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_02: They were certified in many different areas and they were coming to me not only for the personal spiritual direction and emotional self-awareness journey work, but they were also coming to me for business advice.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_02: How do I build a coaching business that really reflects my heart, my passion, and the lifestyle that I want to have?
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_02: Now, no one was asking me for the six-figure business formula, right?
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_02: That is not what I espouse here.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_02: I am all about teaching and helping support you, creating a business that you really love and supports your wholehearted rhythms in all things to have a healthy marriage.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: And if you're a mom or grandma, getting to be able to invest in that way, and certainly having a business that you really like.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_02: So as I realized that more and more clients that were coming to me, their coaches, I also realized that some of these coaches, well, they got what I was really trying to impart.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_02: They were fellow wholehearted women who had allowed the Lord to take their broken-hearted moments and all the broken pieces of their lives and put them together to help serve other women, to help serve other families in their unique journey.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_02: So very organically, I started referring the people, the women that I wasn't able to support at this time, to other coaches that I had coached.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_02: It was a beautiful process and it felt almost seamless.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_02: And it kept happening again and again and again.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_02: And finally the Lord pointed out, hey, I'm doing something here.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_02: I know this feels really natural and easy, but there's something to this because this really reflects your heart and your passion to expand the impact that Simply Wholehearted can do without making myself weary and exhausted, or even building things that don't feel like the right rhythm for me at this time or the right fit for Simply Wholehearted's mission and values.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm excited to say today that after a lot of prayer and conversation and trust on my friends' parts, I have four wholehearted coaches that I would like to introduce you today.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_02: They are all women who have been through my coaching or women who have been certified in the Enneagram process, plus an other additional training and life experience.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: Because honestly, right, most of us are looking for someone who's just a few steps ahead of us, maybe even just one step ahead of us.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: Because at the end of the day, the beauty and the gift of coaching is having someone help you find the answers that are just beneath the surface.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_02: You hold most of them.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_02: You just need someone to help you guide you to them or help you put all those little pieces together in a way that makes sense for you.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_02: What is officially the Wholehearted Collective?
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_02: The Wholehearted Coaching Collective is a team of certified Enneagram coaches who work with individuals, couples, families, work teams, and small groups to encourage, empower, and equip others to create life-giving rhythms for a vibrant relationship with God, their family, and their community.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_02: Again, these women have been trained in all sorts of different ways.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_02: They've also gotten to go through my unique 12-step session that I've created over lots of years and lots of tiers.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_02: Plus, they're additionally resourced with all the material that I've been creating over the years, whether it's for leadership teams, other special things that I can't quite announce yet.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_02: My wholehearted Enneagram Summit, they'll be able to resource you with, plus owning your time, the basics of the Enneagram, and so many other fabulous things that I've put together.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_02: They'll be able to uniquely work with you based on your needs and your chapter of life.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_02: Each one of them is such an amazing woman.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_02: And I've got lots more details about them on my website.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_02: And of course, I'll put that link in the show notes, and there'll be an official announcement if you are part of the community and you get my emails every week.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_02: So you get to meet them right there.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_02: Now, when you go to that webpage, you'll see a real quick history of the collective, a little bit about it, but just scroll right down and you can see these four beautiful women, their pictures, and a brief little bio.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_02: So today, how I want to introduce you is to share a little bit about them, and then they're going to get to pop in here in your earbuds and share about their word for the year.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: I just thought that would be a really fun way.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_02: We're going to share those also on Instagram, but a way to get to meet them and know their heart and just see their passion for the Lord and their passion for others.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_02: Now, getting a word or phrase or song for the year is something that we've been talking about all January.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_02: And here we are.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_02: January is just finished.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_02: February is beginning.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_02: Can't believe it.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_02: And you might be going, I don't know if I have my word of the year yet.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know that phrase or getting a worship song.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_02: Is it woo-woo?
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_02: Is it really a thing?
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it's for me.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_02: And maybe it's not for you.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_02: That's okay.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_02: It doesn't make you more or less a Christian, right?
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_02: Like Christ is the only one who saves us here.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_02: But ultimately, it's just an invitation to be able to take time from the Lord and hear what he has to say about your year, what he wants to draw you in and teach you.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_02: Now, if you're having a hard time or you want kind of a guide sheet or something like that, you can email me and I will just send you one that I've created for a lot of my coaching clients or different other speaking opportunities that I've done before.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_02: So just email me wholehearted Enneagram at gmail.com if you want that little guide sheet about trying to discern what your word of the year is.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_02: Or again, phrase or worship song.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_02: Now for me, I've had lots of stories that I've shared over the years about what that word is.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_02: And man, I'll tell you what, it always amazes me to look back.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_02: First of all, I'm super glad I write it down because I would forget.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_02: But the power of that is being able to look back and see how the Lord has flushed that word out, like put skin on it for me or really put it in me and had me wear what he intended with that word.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_02: And sometimes when we first hear word, I've shared this before, you know, things like abundance and and um bountiful and blessing and fruitful, like those are really nice, happy words, but the road to get there is not always seamless and smooth, and it's quite the journey.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_02: I'll just pop in here and share my word for this year and the verse behind it.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that's really important is that there's lots of little things that confirm that.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_02: And then there's some sort of scripture to back up what the Lord is wanting to convey and impart to you.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_02: So my word for the year this year is delight.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: Now, when I told somebody that, they're like, oh yeah, that's a perfect enneagram seven word.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_02: And I think I just made a little Canadian, oh yeah.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_02: And you'll understand the humor behind that in a little bit.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: But the verse that he gave me in connection with it, and there's a whole story that I'll maybe I'll share someday.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_02: But for me, it's so specific and it's connected to the last several years, what he's been teaching me, what he's been imparting to me.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_02: But the psalm that I got this year for that scripture was Psalm 37, 23.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_02: The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_02: And for me, that really comes back to living as the beloved, believing that God cares about every single detail.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_02: I obviously believe that.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like I'm telling stories again and again about how it was this one seemingly random thing, and then the Lord brought it all together to make sense to a more meaningful moment.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_02: And so, even in this wholehearted coaching collective story, all those years ago, I would have thought the collective idea was just a blip.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe I even heard the Lord wrong.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe my vision was so skewed and I couldn't hear from the Lord.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_02: Well, as the Lord has healed me and brought me through that really valley of the shadow of death and the grief that I've experienced the last couple years, one of the things that he's been repeatedly healing me from is this thought that I must be crazy that I don't hear from him.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_02: And y'all, I I can say that without a ton of emotion, but let me tell you, the power behind that freedom and that belief that I am not crazy, that I do hear from the Lord, it has been life-changing.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm just so sad as I look back at my younger self at times, how much I doubted that I really did hear from him.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_02: So that idea of delight for me is so powerful and so meaningful that he really does delight in all the steps and he is putting everything together to work together for those who love him.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_02: And I know that I love God wholeheartedly.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: So let me introduce you to my new friends.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_02: And how this is gonna work is that if you are looking for a coach in this season, I want to offer several different options because I'm a seven.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: Doesn't that make sense?
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_02: Because I know for one, I'm not everyone's cup of tea.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_02: And secondly, some of these women are equipped with knowledge and insight and life experience and story that might better suit the chapter of life that you're in.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_02: They might have the wisdom and insight that you need based on their experience that I am not able to offer you.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_02: Now I am gonna move more into coaching coaches, something I'm very passionate about.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_02: And again, I'm you're gonna be hearing more from that because I just got back from the first ever equip and activate retreat that was just for coaches.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_02: And I'll tell you what, it was so powerful.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_02: And I've realized I've learned so much that is really gonna help the coach thrive in their business.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_02: And I might not just be Enneagram coaches, and it might maybe expand a little outside of that women who are building a business, but I kind of am thinking that that's the direction that I'm gonna go.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_02: But first up, I want to introduce Deanna Sudom.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_02: She is from Canada, and that's why I giggled.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_02: I've just spent the weekend with her, and I'm pretty sure I said something that sounded a little Canadian.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_02: But Deanna loves Jesus, and she has founded Capstone Freedom Coaching.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_02: Of course, she's recently worked with me, but she is also a spiritual director.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_02: She and her husband have led alpha, not only for individuals, but for couples.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_02: She has been a founder in their local church and been instrumental in building that ministry there in the Saskatchewan.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, next up is CJ Music.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you heard me right.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_02: It's spelled a little different, but sounds like music.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_02: She's a fellow Enneagram 7, but she is also all about getting healthy because of her own health journey and all the health and fitness certifications that she has put together.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: She also has an amazing kinesthetic approach to learning about your Enneagram type and loves to do the in-person weekly cohorts.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_02: She she's really amazing.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_02: And honestly, I just want to give another shout out to CJ and her husband and her adorable daughter for helping put together this first Equip and Activate retreat because I really couldn't have done it without her.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_02: And the whole success of it and the fact that the opportunity came about is large in parts thanks to her.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_02: So CJ is someone that you want to connect with, especially if you live in Texas in the Fredericksburg area, which kind of spans like maybe some San Antonio, Austin, kind of that all area.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_02: Um, she loves getting together in person and working in small groups.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_02: So she's amazing.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_02: Next up, Sarah Cronin.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_02: She is an Enneagram too.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, she is just a sweetheart, and oh, she is all about the spiritual journey.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_02: She is doing her own training in spiritual transformation and has really invested herself in this.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_02: She is married and a mom to three sweet kids that are lower elementary and younger.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_02: So those of you who are young mamas and you want someone who's also in the thick of it, Sarah is one of your gals.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_02: And so is the next one that I'll tell you about.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but Sarah has also been certified.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_02: She has gone through my program and she is from Indiana.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_02: So she really talks about that her happy place is driving through the cornfields and feeling that fresh country air.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_02: You'll really appreciate her, and she has loads of wisdom.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_02: She's also been teaching small group programs in her local church and even performing some leadership training that I've been equipping with her recently, and she's fantastic.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_02: She's a really good teacher and presenter, and not a surprise because she comes from a family of teachers and was a teacher herself.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_02: All right, last but certainly not least, Janae Lanier.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_02: She is also an Enneagram 7.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_02: Now, friends, I did not intend to have three Enneagram 7s to offer you, but I promise we all really have a unique approach and we present so uniquely in our personality.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_02: I do plan to expand eventually and add on other coaches with different Enneagram types, but for now, you've got to meet Janae.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_02: She is from Eastern North Carolina.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_02: She's got that southern accent, and she is truly a joy-filled woman.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_02: She naturally loves working with moms, and she has started out the same way I did as well, with the women in her living room at her church walking in through the Enneagram in small groups, and then also taking individuals and couples through this material so they can really thrive.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_02: She just has that enormous energy that we're used to with the Enneagram 7, but she is grounded and wise, and she really loves Jesus and is all about imparting that passion and that love for him to others.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_02: So Janae also is kind of big on TikTok.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_02: So if you are a TikTok person, you'll want to follow at life with Enneagram.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_02: She is also an Instagram, newly on there.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_02: But for you TikTok friends, you're gonna love her on there.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_02: She's got some adorable stuff, including her adorable three-year-old daughter who will preach to all of us.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_02: So that's a little bit about the collective.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_02: I want you to listen here and get the opportunity to hear their voice, learn a little bit about their word for the year and what the Lord is showing them.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_02: And then I hope that you'll hop on the website and get to see their pictures and read a little bit more about them.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_02: Now you'll be able to still book a discovery call with me, and you'll also be able to book a discovery call with each one of these coaches.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_02: It's an opportunity to get 15 minutes to learn more about who they are, their process, and then also see if they are a right fit for you.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_02: If they have That next step in mind for you and the plan that feels comfortable to you to go on the journey that you are looking for.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_02: Now, I'll also say this: they all have different prices as well, different packages.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_02: It all looks unique just as mine does well from any other coaches that I know out there.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_02: It's my unique process I've created and I have helped them as well, though they are able to borrow from mine and use my guide sheets as well.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_02: So that's a little bit about the collective, a little bit about my word for the year, and this exciting full circle moment that I get to share with you.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_02: I would not be able to do this if it wasn't for you.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_02: Listening week in and week out, and I I cannot tell you how grateful I am for you.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_02: You are the reason that I show up.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_02: You are the reason that I do this.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_02: So thank you.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you for the opportunity.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you for the trust.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_02: And I look forward to what is yet to come.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_02: And friend, I really think the best is just around the corner.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_02: So enjoy getting to meet these other coaches.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_02: And I will see you next week on Monday with a new series.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_02: Jesse Eubanks is going to be sharing about wholehearted relationships, specifically how we relate to God.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_02: His new book is fabulous.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_02: I can't wait for you to meet him and hear from him and to share that conversation with you.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_00: Hi, I'm Deanna Sudom.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_00: I am an Enneagram 4-wing five, and I'm here to share my word for 2023, which is surrender.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_00: Funny enough, I fought that word when God dropped it in my spirit, thinking about all the possibilities that could bring.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_00: But I quickly surrendered to the fact that he wants to take me deeper in him this year for more intimacy and to learn to release even more than how he taught me through the word integrate last year.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_00: I believe it's a space of learning to surrender the parts of my heart that I've held tightly to and not trusting him in.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_00: So I was given the verse in Luke 9.23, particularly the Passion Translation, which has been speaking to my heart a lot lately, and it says, Jesus said to all of his followers, if you truly desire to be my disciple, you must disown your life completely.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: Embrace my cross as your own and surrender to my ways.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: I was also given a song called Make Room, which starts, Here is where I lay it down every burden, every crown.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_00: This is my surrender.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: This is my surrender.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_00: Here is where I lay it down every lie and every doubt.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_00: This is my surrender.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: And I will make room for you to do whatever you want to.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_00: So we will see what God will do.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_00: I'm excited about what could happen this year through this word of surrender in 2023.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_03: Hey friends, I'm CJ, coach with the Simply Wholehearted Clinton and Nineagram Seven.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_03: This year, the word God is speaking to me is enough.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_03: I have enough time, resources, things, and energy to accomplish everything that He has sent before me in 2023.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_03: I'm praying that you have enough.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_03: And I can't wait to hear everyone's word of the year.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_03: Talk scene.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_03: Fagrins.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_04: Hi everyone, I'm Sarah Cronin, and I'm an Ennegram coach from Indiana.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_04: I'm a type two, and today I'm excited to share with you my word and focus for 2023.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_04: I believe that the Lord is calling me into authenticity.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_04: He is showing me what my true self in Christ looks like, a beloved daughter of God simply because of who He is and who He says that I am, not from anything that I have worked for or earned on my own.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_04: For too long I have had a very um low view of self and much too high of an importance on what others think of me or if I have others' approval and love.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_04: I believe the Lord is calling me forward and to confidence of who He has created me to be.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_04: Philippians 1 6 says, He who began a good work in me will carry it on until completion in the day of Jesus Christ.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_04: I believe that he is still working in me and that he's calling me forward to show up in boldness in who he has created me to be.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_04: And I believe there, in that authenticity, he will get the most glory and I will get the most satisfaction because I'm walking in my true calling in Christ.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_01: Hey guys, I'm Janae Lanier.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_01: I'm an Enneagram coach from Bieleville, North Carolina.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_01: Now I know you don't know where that is, so I'll tell you.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's close to Wilmington.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_01: And so normally when I say Wilmington, people get a better understanding of my location.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_01: So I am an Enneagram 7.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I am a joy-filled enthusiast through and through to my core.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_01: And I love working with moms and I love working with wives.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_01: That is definitely my niche.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm here really quick to jump on and tell you guys what I feel like my word for 2023 is.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_01: And I feel like that word is alignment.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_01: And so when I felt that word in my spirit, I went to Google like most of us do, and I Googled what is alignment.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_01: And so alignment in life is when our thoughts, life choices, and direction all honor our core values.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_01: And I loved that.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_01: It also says the proper positioning or state of adjustment of parts.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_01: And that spoke to me for sure.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_01: But when I Googled what it looks like when there's a lack of alignment, it said a lack of alignment tends to lead to inefficient use of funds, time, and missed goals.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_01: And that's when I knew that it was most definitely my word for the year.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_01: And so if you know anything about an unhealthy seven or a seven that's stressed out or an unaware seven, you know that a lot of times um we will give ourselves too much.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_01: We stretch ourselves too thin.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_01: We're into everything.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_01: And that's not biblical.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_01: Even if we're giving ourselves to serving, serving our church or serving people, you can say yes to too many things.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_01: And so um that is my word for 2023.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_01: And I want to leave you guys with this.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_01: It says, God says we must be aligned with him to be effective anywhere else.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_01: So I love that.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_01: Bless you guys, and thank you guys for listening.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_02: Alrighty, friend.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_02: That wraps up this special impromptu off the cuff bonus episode.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_02: And before I forget, I'm trying to get better to ask this because there are thousands of downloads of this episode, and I would love for you, after you listen, or if you've been a listener for a while, to rate and review this podcast episode on your favorite platform.

• 29:21
  SPEAKER_02: I promise I'm not a grammar nerd.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not gonna go back and word check.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_02: Whatever you have to say that is from your heart will mean a lot to me.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_02: So until next time, continue to pursue God's perspective, purpose, and plans for your wholehearted life.
