  This is where we live out loud, on purpose and with purpose.

  I'm Coach C, your host, and this is Season 1, Episode 13, Blessed in My Mama's Belly.
• 0:24
  Before you had a name, before you had a struggle, before you had a story,
• 0:30
  you were already blessed.
• 0:34
  Let that sit for a second.
• 0:36
  There's something about this one, blessed in my mama's belly.
• 0:40
  I didn't overthink it. It just hit.
• 0:45
  And I believe it hit because it's a reminder, not just to the believer,
• 0:52
  but to the one who's still becoming.
• 0:55
  Because life has a way of making you forget.
• 0:59
  You go through rejection, heartbreak, setbacks, seasons where nothing makes sense.
• 1:08
  And suddenly you start questioning your worth, your place, your purpose.
• 1:13
  But what if I told you none of
• 1:16
  that changed who you were from
• 1:20
  the beginning before the pain before the
• 1:23
  mistakes before the moments you wish
• 1:26
  you could redo there was a creator and he didn't say let's see how this one
• 1:32
  turns out no he said blessed so now let's talk about it because some of y'all
• 1:40
  are walking around carrying labels life gave you,
• 1:45
  such as not enough, too much, behind.
• 1:49
  Broken, unqualified.
• 1:52
  But those labels, they came after you got here.
• 1:57
  Your original identity was never in question.
• 2:01
  You were blessed before the disappointment,
• 2:04
  before the comparison, before the insecurity
• 2:08
  before you try to shrink to
• 2:11
  fit spaces you outgrew and here's
• 2:14
  the part that really shifts things being blessed doesn't mean life won't bruise
• 2:22
  you you might have blisters from the journey you might feel broken in some seasons
• 2:28
  you might question if you belong but even in the blisters,
• 2:34
  you're still blessed.
• 2:36
  Even in the breaking, you're still chosen.
• 2:41
  Even in the confusion, you're still called.
• 2:46
  Because your circumstances don't get to rename you. Let me say that again.
• 2:51
  Your circumstances do not get to rename you.
• 2:57
  You don't lose your blessing because life got hard.
• 3:01
  You don't lose your identity because you had a setback.
• 3:05
  You don't lose your worth because you're still figuring it out.
• 3:10
  You were blessed in the beginning, and that blessing didn't expire.
• 3:17
  Now here's your fearless homework. Let's bring this home.
• 3:22
  Number one, rewrite your identity.
• 3:26
  List the labels you've been carrying lately. Now cross them out.
• 3:31
  Next to each one, write this, still blessed.
• 3:36
  Number two, speak it out loud. Say this daily.
• 3:41
  Before anything happened to me, I was blessed.
• 3:47
  Number three, show up like you know.
• 3:50
  Walk into your day like someone who knows they are chosen, they belong,
• 3:57
  they are covered, even if life doesn't look like it yet.
• 4:02
  Number four, extend it.
• 4:05
  Remind someone else, you were blessed before this because some people just need to remember.
• 4:13
  Now before I go, let me remind you of this. You don't have to earn what was already placed on you.
• 4:21
  You don't have to chase what was already spoken over you.
• 4:26
  You don't have to prove what was already decided about you.
• 4:31
  You were blessed in your mama's belly. And no season of life gets to take that away.
• 4:40
  So walk like it. Talk like it. Live like it. because that blessing still got your name on it.
• 4:48
  This is Real Talk, where we're realizing everyone is always learning and living your full experience.
• 4:57
  This is Coach C. I'll see you in the next one.
