The Key To Go From "It's Coming" to "It's Here" · The Her Promise Circle Podcast

• Michal: This week we are kicking it old school. It's just me and you. And I'm sitting and I'm talking and I'm so grateful to be. A lot has happened to your girl. And I can't wait to help you transition because I know you're feeling stuck. I know you feel stuck in transition. But guess what? I'm about to give you a secret. How to get out of it. How do I know? Ask me how I know. Jesus, how have you been? How is everything? I've missed you. You know what's crazy is This is the most I have ever allowed myself grace for not putting a podcast up every single week. And I did that for the first literally two years, burning out doing so. And you have now not heard from me for what, like maybe two weeks. And I don't feel bad at all. I don't feel bad at all. And That is because I have literally become a different version of me every single week this summer. Like, I can't even tell you how many different girlies I've been. But this one right here, even different from the one yesterday, I like this one and I hope that she stays. If you have a relationship with God, you know that he changes our appetites, right? There's things that you don't do anymore, right? There's things that you don't want to do anymore. You don't even care about. There's people you prayed to have back in your life that you'd be like, What was I thinking? Girl, was I ever that lonely? Is it ever that serious? Why did I do that? There's things you would never do, ways you would never react. It's just a lot of things that change for you when you meet Jesus, when you start to heal, when you start to get into a different position. And I've said this several times. In wellness through the word when we do it on Thursdays. But there are a lot of you who for years you're praying for the same prayers, you're hoping and wishing for the same things, you're desiring new things, you're praying for things that you've always desired, maybe. And you're just like, God, why am I stuck here at this job that I hate? Why am I stuck here doing Things that I've just outgrown. Why am I struggling with this? Why am I just constantly stuck in a state of wanting and not having enough? And I'm here to tell you that it sounds unproductive. The answer to this sounds unproductive, baby. But the answer to this is are you listening? Are you listening, baby? The answer to this is that annoying thing you hear on Instagram, or that annoying advice you get from your parents or from an old person that you're like, you just don't even understand. And that answer is: you have to slow down to speed up. You have to slow down to speed up. And especially when we're stuck in this hustle culture mindset. And us millennials, we got it bad because our parents were that. Like everything is a hurried rush. Rush to get to church in the morning. Rush to get back there. This is what childhood was for your girl. We're late. Rush to get to church in the morning. Okay, church is over. Now it's rush hour. Now we're going to lunch. then we get back in and we're at lunch and we're talking, we're chatting, everything's fine. We're rushed to get back home. And your mom never had enough time to get dinner made. And the kids were never satisfied. The kids were never grateful enough. She was never doing enough. And that is how I was operating. And God had to slow me down. And this is the thing, you do not want God to slow you down. So if you have been hearing rest or slow down, listen. And you do it because you won't like how he does it. Okay? If he's saying to let go of someone, you do it. Because you're not gonna like how he does it. And then you won't blame that person for what they did to you because God allowed it to happen so you could actually release, so you can make room for the new. Baby, I have learned so much in this season and I've realized I have always been the op. Now you know I've always said this. You're the op, you're the op, you're the op, and we still need shirts and jackets and rings at this point. But you are. And what I mean by slow down to speed up, baby, is this. What are you praying for? What hasn't come yet? What do you need God to do for you? What state have you constantly been in that you are constantly praying to get out or you're trying to hustle your way out of? What is it? What is it? Think of it, get it in your heart, get it in your mind, and feel that feeling right now. So you feel that feeling? You could probably feel it in your body. What does it feel like? It's like an ache. It's like a It's like a a hole that wants to be filled. It's like this incessant thing. And it's not a good feeling. It's kind of negative, in fact. It feels like fear. It feels like shame of not having it or wanting it. It feels like unfulfilled desire. the Bible says hope deferred makes the heart sick. Right? Because you're tired of hoping. And if you go back in one of these episodes here, way, way back, back to our times together when it was just me and you, there's an episode I made that says, From it's coming to its here. And I think it was about two years ago. And the thing is, I understood that so much then, and I started to fix my language around it. And it's coming to its here means you're always. If you are the girl who's like, well, in 10 years, or if you're like, I know, you know, I know God answered my prayers, it's coming, it's coming. You're not necessarily wrong. However, because of the hustle mindset, the survivor mindset, that you feeling like you have to make things happen in order to receive, you learned all that in childhood, first of all. We'll get there. But that's not, that's a lie. And in this season, I am unlearning so many lies that felt like good, safe truths. I'm gonna ask you to comment them for me so I can see as I talk what is coming up and what are you releasing? Leave it on these comments because you have no idea how many other women have learned things that they subconsciously live out every day. And and we can't name them. See, you didn't even know or have the language for some of this until now. But listen, keep that thing in your heart and in your mind that I'm talking to you about, this feeling. Keep that there. I want you to think about it throughout as I'm talking. If you're always pushing it into the future, you are never obtaining it. It's aspirational. And because it's aspirational, you think you have time, right? So you go on this self-help journey. And sis, you you're gonna be, listen, you're trying to heal yourself to get to the place to have a good marriage or find a husband. You're trying to heal yourself enough to become a mom. You're trying to be healed enough to become a business owner. You're trying to have enough credentials and knowledge to be whatever you are aspiring to get into before you actually embody and start. And so I I can't, so back then when I gave you this episode, I didn't fully understand what it entailed. So I knew I was like, it's coming, you know, it's in the future, and I have to prepare for it. But what you do is you get yourself stuck in the loop of preparation. You are preparing to prepare perpetually and it doesn't stop. And that causes haste because you think if you prepare faster, you'll get it faster. And it's not true. It's a lie. The the core of that lie is not, sis, you don't have to work for anything. Yes, that's true. But I needed to dig deeper. I didn't, I didn't understand the root. Okay? The root of this, because you keep buying the books, you keep buying the downloads, you keep applying to school, you keep needing a degree, you keep, right? This is where you are. Listen to me. The root of that is you do not feel good enough for what you are aspiring to. Is a lie because if you believed, what job do you have now? Are you good at your job? You believe you're good at your job? So guess what job you have? Right. Some of you are mothers and don't think you're good enough to be mothers and are a mother and spend your entire day fleshing over what you didn't do or what you can't do or what you haven't done instead of going, I am good enough to be a mother because I am one. Hello. So when do you how can a person breathe in an environment that is constantly telling them they are not good enough for what they currently have and they are not good enough to have what they desire in the future? It's toxic and it's putting you in survival and rush mode. And haste is not of God. God is not in a rush. He knows what's gonna happen. Every single one of your days are written down in a book somewhere. Okay, in his knowledge. I don't know where he keeps it, but it exists. And every one of those days are written out. And so what I've had to realize, taking this huge leap of faith, girl, with a whole freaking business, okay, running an organization who your girl's in very important rooms. Did y'all read that article that they wrote on me? I read that with such imposter syndrome. I'm like, who is that girl? And it's me. And God was like, Remember that word I gave you? From its coming to its here, like the time is now, the time is now, the time is now. The reason the time hasn't been now is because you didn't fully believe you were the virgin. You always thought I was saying, It's coming, it's coming, it's coming. And even though you were like, I gotta say it's now, I was saying it's now, it's now, it's now. My body didn't feel safe. My my mind, my spirit didn't feel safe holding on to that. Another lie I had to unlearn is that good things don't last and good things come with catches, because the Bible says that the Lord blesses and adds no sorrow to it. That's where I'm at in this week. Good thing after good thing keeps happening. Elevation keeps happening. And I'm like, what's the catch? Even if I'm not asking it out loud, my body is bracing for disappointment because that's what I've learned, right? But I have something to tell you, sis. The reason the Bible says that the Lord gives us a future and a hope is because if you don't have hope, if you don't have hope, you will stop dreaming. And if you stop dreaming, and at this point, it's not even dreams, it's visions, especially if you know the Lord. That means he has it for you. It's a preview of what's coming, quote unquote. But when it when it when I say it's coming, I don't mean 10 years from now. Things could happen tomorrow if you fix your identity. So guess what your girl has had to do? Exposure therapy. Because the next time you see me here on this podcast, you're going to be like, How, girl, where are we? Because you guys are walking with me. I've been so transparent for years with you. You've seen HBC from Vaby, me from Vaby. You're gonna be like, my goodness. And that is why I wanted to close out this season. Just me and you. And thank you for listening, for watching, for commenting. Share the episodes. Go back and comment if you haven't on the ones you liked and enjoyed. especially on the YouTube channel. but I see y'all in Spotify, I see y'all in Apple as well. This will actually be our first Apple video. for those of you what that listen on Apple, we're approved to put videos on there, so that's perfect timing for what's coming. But like I just wanted to seal out this season with thank you for walking with me, growing with me. I pray that what I just gave you has been a blessing and has invigorated you to step into purpose now. to unlearn the lie that you are not good enough to have what you desire. Because baby, if you thought you were going on vacation tomorrow, I bet you there's a suitcase in your trunk. That's how prepared you have to be right now. And if God has called you to be a speaker or start a podcast or start working out because he's warning you about your health or to be the generational curse breaker in any way, to bless you financially. You are allowed to be going to school for the degree while being good enough for the thing now. You are allowed to be in process and being good and seen right now doing it. And I need you to stop fearing being seen in process. I need you to unlearn the lie that you are not good enough for what he has for you right now. The time is now. If you believe it. Mark 11 24. He never lied. All those were correct, but you have to believe without doubting that it's you and he chose you. It's never too good to be true. And he can do back-to-back amazing things for you. Ask me how I know. So the next time you see your girl, season nine, crazy, right? Season nine, you're gonna be like, wow, I am a whole different person. And this is not just happening for me. This is happening in the spirit. So it's happening collectively. All of you are either going to choose to stay where you are in your cycles, or you're going to choose different ways to live. Unlearn the emotion that you're feeling because you can get addicted to negative ones and keep it happening over and over. You have to every day decide, I'm not choosing to feel this. I am good enough. Now you have to do it every day. Promise you'll get out of that transition. Follow your girl. I have some really cool things coming on Instagram, Mikhail.rene and her promise circle. Follow her promise circle on everything because we're doing some amazing things. I can't wait for our live on Instagram. We're gonna talk about the partnership I have with monochromatic mommies. my girl Sabrina, who is amazing, has been a lifesaver, is truly my errand, the errand to my Moses, okay?

To be moving into this with y'all with me. And you're the reason that I've been able to feel even somewhat confident. But now I have to come out of hiding fully. I have to start posting more, and I am, and you do too. You need to be seen and processed just like your girl. DM me, please reach out to me.
