  SPEAKER_00: Do you often wonder what you're really good at?
• 0:03
  SPEAKER_00: You know the thing that you want to be known for?
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: Have you ever wished you had superpowers like Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, or Supergirl?
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: What if I said that you do have superpowers?
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for real.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so you may not be able to leap from building to building or have a truth-telling lasso, but you do possess a God-given superpower.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: Your superpower might just be collecting dust underneath the layers of stress motherhood has placed on you, or even the demands of life that have caused you to forget the superpowers that you have been equipped with.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: While I may not be Wonder Woman's mom, the proud Amazon queen, Hippolyta, and we can't spend years training in no man's land, I thought I would spend just a few minutes reminding you who you were created to be, the unique gifts and strengths that you have available for you to use in motherhood.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: So, this episode is dedicated to all my wannabe capewaring mamas.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: When you need a breath of fresh air and a quick reminder of who you were created to be, I hope you will listen for the encouragement whenever you need it.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: Hi, my name is Amy Wicks, and I help you navigate the overwhelm and frustration of motherhood through faith, Enneagram, and simple plans.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: As a faith-based Enneagram coach, I champion you to love your mothering style because you are the mom your kids need, even when you don't feel like it.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a mountain mama who somehow ended up on a cul-de-sac in the Midwest, overwhelmed and frustrated by motherhood.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: But the Lord didn't let me stay there.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: He helped me turn the challenges of motherhood into a wholehearted decision to get intentional with my faith, my self-awareness, and my family.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: Each episode of this podcast provides perspective through story, wholehearted purpose, and simple plan so you can discover how to love your mothering style and be confident that you are the mom your kids need.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: Think of this podcast as your on-the-go mom pal and friend who can't help but talk about Jesus and the Enneagram.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: So get to that pile of laundry, or hit the treadmill, or load up the kids in the car for that grocery run.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: Get ready to be encouraged and empowered while you listen.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: This is the Simply Wholehearted Podcast.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: If your superpowers are feeling a little dusty or rusty, just know that you are not alone.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: Because your struggle to walk in your God-given superpower, well, it all started back in the garden, as in Eden.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: You see, Satan couldn't force men to do evil, but he did whisper evil ideas into their ears.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: He was able to distract them from their true identity.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: And therefore, humans continue to live under the same curse.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: But the good news is while you and I may not deserve redemption, we are redeemable.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: So today I wanted to remind you about a hero who believes in love, who is filled with love, and believes in hope and the redemption of mankind.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: And it can be a part of your story too.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: If you are a Christ follower, then you know the ultimate hero of your story.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: And as you accept the invitation to walk in Christ-likeness, you will be compelled to live and tell the truth of what is possible.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: But maybe it feels like the people, the little ones in your home, the ones you were made to raise while they're trying to kill you, or at least wear you to the bones in the process of protecting them.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: That's not too unlike a superhero, right?
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and when you hear your superpowers, it feels as if all is lost and you can never walk in the fullness of the strengths God intended for you.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: But listen to me carefully.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: Don't abandon your principles.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: Ask your Savior to expand them.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: Don't become discouraged or bury your head in the sand either.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: Maintain and fight for what is true about what you believe and add a bit of your real-world wisdom and experience to it.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: I invite you to believe that your love is a source of strength, not weakness.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: I know you fundamentally believe that your role as a mama and your children are worthy of protection.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: And it's this knowledge that can raise your level of compassion and courage that some of your more cynical mama friends they may not have right now.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: I know you can probably think of a few cranky moms, and they're most likely former idealists who gave up on trying to be the mom they wanted to be as soon as it was clear their mission would be a lot harder than they originally thought.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: So remember, true acts of bravery often require patience, diligence, and the courage to face the truth.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: I invite you to be patient with yourself, to be diligent and not give up.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: Have courage to face the truth that maybe you've allowed the enemy to thwart the life that you were meant to live.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: And because no true hero can be born from lies, let's spend the next few minutes remembering the truth of who you are meant to be.
