Speaker 1: Up with Marcy. I'm so excited you are here. If
0:19
Speaker 1: you are here, you are ready to step into self discovery,
0:24
Speaker 1: healing and navigating life transitions with true confidence. And today
0:30
Speaker 1: I'm joined by someone who is truly walking in purpose,
0:33
Speaker 1: and that is Caroln Walkins. She's a passion and purpose coach,
0:37
Speaker 1: a content strategist, and the host of the top ranked
0:40
Speaker 1: podcast Momatize Your Passion, where she empowers moms to turn
0:45
Speaker 1: their God given gifts into thriving, purpose driven businesses. Her
0:51
Speaker 1: work has been featured in People Magazine, Entertainment, Tonight, Access, Hollywood,
0:56
Speaker 1: and so many more. But her true passion and power

Speaker 1: lies and how she helps women silence self doubt, embrace

Speaker 1: their calling, and step boldly into the life they were

Speaker 1: designed to live. And I'm telling you we live in
1:12
Speaker 1: self doubt so often in Trolan, I just am so
1:17
Speaker 1: grateful you are here so we can build confidence and
1:20
Speaker 1: help those out there to move into their purpose. So
1:24
Speaker 1: thank you for being here.
1:26
Speaker 2: Thank you Marcy for having me. I'm so honored, and
1:28
Speaker 2: congratulations on your show.
1:31
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to transition into the podcast world. It's
1:35
Speaker 1: a great place to be and we get to really
1:40
Speaker 1: expand on the conversation. When you have a TV show,
1:43
Speaker 1: it's so short lived. You only get seven to eight
1:46
Speaker 1: minutes with someone. So I'm really grateful to have this
1:49
Speaker 1: time with you. And let's talk about that that confidence
1:55
Speaker 1: where you have built the confidence and that's been rooted
2:00
Speaker 1: in God. Right, So how did your faith begin and
2:05
Speaker 1: how did you rewrite the way that you saw yourself?
2:09
Speaker 3: Oh, that is a great question.
2:12
Speaker 2: So my faith, the journey began when I was young
2:15
Speaker 2: because I was surrounded by a lot of family members
2:18
Speaker 2: who were also with my faith, a Christian faith. But
2:22
Speaker 2: I feel like as I went through my journey, because
2:25
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna connect this to passion pursuits, Like I
2:29
Speaker 2: feel like when I was younger, I've always been creative
2:33
Speaker 2: with acting, with just being a creative little girl and
2:37
Speaker 2: wanting to pursue things that made me want to dream.
2:41
Speaker 2: So when I was younger living in the San Francisco
2:44
Speaker 2: Bay Area, I'm in southern California. Now, I always felt
2:48
Speaker 2: like I was a dreamer, and with that dream came,
2:55
Speaker 2: I felt like God was connecting with me in some
2:58
Speaker 2: way through my dreams, like there was something he wanted
3:01
Speaker 2: me to do with my dreams. And of course, you know,
3:05
Speaker 2: we have dreams as little girls, as women, and sometimes
3:09
Speaker 2: we think it's that one thing. So for me, as
3:13
Speaker 2: my creativity evolved, it turned into a love for acting.
3:18
Speaker 2: So I'm thinking, Okay, this is it, this is the ultimate.
3:20
Speaker 2: I need to move to Tintiltown aka Hollywood and pursue
3:25
Speaker 2: this acting career. Because I was like, okay, God, you
3:27
Speaker 2: give me this gift, these passions.
3:30
Speaker 3: And just to.
3:32
Speaker 2: Take you back a little bit, because I had just
3:35
Speaker 2: graduated from college with an undergrad in mass communications and
3:40
Speaker 2: I told my mom that I wanted to move to
3:42
Speaker 2: la to be an actress, and she was not for
3:45
Speaker 2: it at all.
3:45
Speaker 3: I was still living in a.
3:48
Speaker 2: Living in the house, and all of a sudden, It's like, well,
3:50
Speaker 2: I want to move to Hollywood to be an actress,
3:53
Speaker 2: and it's such a far affetched dream, you know.
3:56
Speaker 3: So I felt I.
3:58
Speaker 2: Really felt like God wanted me to move to Hollywood
4:00
Speaker 2: to pursue an acting career.
4:02
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean?
4:03
Speaker 2: And I remember even then, I wanted to make an
4:05
Speaker 2: impact in Hollywood. It wasn't just for self. I wanted
4:09
Speaker 2: to make a difference in some way, and I wasn't
4:11
Speaker 2: sure how to do that quite yet. Yeah, So I
4:14
Speaker 2: was like, okay, God, if you really want me to
4:16
Speaker 2: move to La Because it was.
4:18
Speaker 3: A strong.
4:20
Speaker 2: Rash and desire and unction from God. I felt that
4:24
Speaker 2: he wanted me to move. So I was like, okay, Lord,
4:27
Speaker 2: if you really want me to move here, then please
4:29
Speaker 2: open up these four things. And it's four, I believe.
4:33
Speaker 2: One was I needed a job. Number two I needed
4:38
Speaker 2: an acting agent. Number three I needed a place to stay.
4:41
Speaker 2: It was five things. Actually, Number four I wanted a
4:43
Speaker 2: good multicultural church. And then number five was to change
4:49
Speaker 2: my mother's heart, so literally, because La and Oakland, which
4:57
Speaker 2: is where I'm from, is about five hours half hours away.
5:01
Speaker 2: So and one day I drove from Oakland to LA
5:05
Speaker 2: because I had a job interview and I had an
5:06
Speaker 2: interview with an agent and I got them both on
5:09
Speaker 2: the spot, drove back home. Meanwhile, my pastor at the
5:14
Speaker 2: time worked it out where I can stay at a
5:17
Speaker 2: Korean dormitory, a missionary dorm for free until I got
5:22
Speaker 2: on my feet. So that was the third thing. The
5:25
Speaker 2: fourth thing was someone had recommended a multicultural church in
5:30
Speaker 2: LA which was filled with other entertainment hopefuls, So I
5:35
Speaker 2: had that connection. And then as time was going on,
5:38
Speaker 2: all the pieces were just adding up. My mom just
5:41
Speaker 2: started being proud of me. Like when she was speaking
5:44
Speaker 2: to people on the phone, it was with pride, like, oh, yeah,
5:46
Speaker 2: my daughter's moving to LA to be an actress, you
5:48
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
5:48
Speaker 3: Her tone had changed.
5:51
Speaker 2: So at my going away party, I asked her, you
5:55
Speaker 2: know what made you change the way you viewed me
5:58
Speaker 2: going to LA, and said God gave her a vision
6:02
Speaker 2: that I was in LA and there was angels surrounding me,
6:05
Speaker 2: and she knew that that was a sign that I
6:07
Speaker 2: was supposed to be there. So literally those five things
6:10
Speaker 2: God came through for me on and I knew it was,
6:14
Speaker 2: you know, the right move for me to move. So
6:17
Speaker 2: I felt like, to your original question, like with me
6:21
Speaker 2: pursuing that passion, it was a God led passion because
6:23
Speaker 2: I feel like when we pursue our God led passions,
6:26
Speaker 2: it opens the door to purpose. And when I say
6:28
Speaker 2: open the door to purpose, I mean it's not just
6:31
Speaker 2: for ourselves. It's for us to use our gifts, our
6:34
Speaker 2: dreams to help someone else as well. And I felt
6:38
Speaker 2: like as he opened up those doors, he was opening
6:40
Speaker 2: up the opportunity in the door for me to help
6:42
Speaker 2: other people in the process, right right, yeah, And are
6:46
Speaker 2: you helping people?
6:48
Speaker 3: Well?
6:48
Speaker 2: It was through a series of events, I felt like.
6:52
Speaker 2: So as I was going along this journey, you know,
6:56
Speaker 2: of the acting, I always wanted to my saying was
7:00
Speaker 2: I wanted to make an impact in the world with
7:03
Speaker 2: this acting in some way. So as I was pursuing
7:06
Speaker 2: this acting career, I realized that the acting itself wasn't
7:13
Speaker 2: the end. It was a means to get me somewhere else.
7:17
Speaker 2: So throughout that process of a yeah yeah. So throughout
7:22
Speaker 2: that process of me pursuing this and trying to make
7:25
Speaker 2: an impact, I was able to start a local talk
7:29
Speaker 2: show called Life Impact because on that show I wanted
7:33
Speaker 2: to help other people struggling through whatever area they were in.
7:36
Speaker 2: Like I had different guests on, like Sherry Shepherd, who
7:39
Speaker 2: was a dear friend at the time, like an Olympian,
7:43
Speaker 2: But it was all about what they went through through
7:45
Speaker 2: their in their lives and how them getting through that
7:49
Speaker 2: was able to help in some way. So I was
7:51
Speaker 2: using that as a platform to be able to use
7:54
Speaker 2: these high profile people and use their stories to encourage
7:59
Speaker 2: and inspire other people in their journey. Right, So there
8:03
Speaker 2: was there was There was always like little things like
8:05
Speaker 2: that where I saw that God was seeing showing me
8:08
Speaker 2: how I was helping other people in the process. And eventually,
8:12
Speaker 2: several years later, you know, I was able to build
8:14
Speaker 2: this platform, Tinsiltown Mom, where I'm helping moms to pursue
8:19
Speaker 2: their godlet passions so they can be used to help
8:22
Speaker 2: other people in the process. So I feel like it
8:24
Speaker 2: all kind of evolved into this platform where I'm helping,
8:28
Speaker 2: you know, multiple people in a main way.
8:32
Speaker 1: We one hundred percent I feel Listen, I've gone through
8:36
Speaker 1: a lot in my life, and when I got in
8:39
Speaker 1: front of the camera, it was a dream that I'd
8:43
Speaker 1: always had, but that changed throughout my life. I lost
8:47
Speaker 1: self confidence and such. But something happened in my forties
8:51
Speaker 1: and I actually somehow found the strength to start pursuing
8:58
Speaker 1: that dream. And then all these doors started opening up.
9:02
Speaker 1: Right people were coming into my life that could help me.
9:04
Speaker 1: I was getting agents right away. I was starting to
9:08
Speaker 1: you know, get auditions and find schooling that I could
9:11
Speaker 1: be a part of. So it was really interesting. I
9:16
Speaker 1: feel that when you are doing what you are called
9:19
Speaker 1: to do, that the universe conspires with you. God conspires
9:25
Speaker 1: with you, and these doors open up easily for you.
9:29
Speaker 1: And so I always like to say, if you're trying
9:33
Speaker 1: to pursue something and you feel like you are going
9:38
Speaker 1: up a mountain and you are struggling the whole way
9:41
Speaker 1: up that mountain, you might be going up the wrong mountain,
9:45
Speaker 1: and you know God has another place for you. So
9:50
Speaker 1: I think that you prayed to God and those things happened.
9:55
Speaker 1: And I truly believe in that that when things happen
10:00
Speaker 1: with such ease, that God is there to answer that
10:03
Speaker 1: and to create these possibilities for you when it is
10:07
Speaker 1: your purpose.
10:08
Speaker 2: Yes, and I feel like it doesn't happen in the
10:11
Speaker 2: way that we expect it to happen, never doubt, you know,
10:14
Speaker 2: we have these expectations, Oh, I want to do this,
10:17
Speaker 2: I wanted to line up like XYZ. It doesn't line
10:20
Speaker 2: up that way. But we have to be open to
10:23
Speaker 2: how that's it's going to happen. Because a lot of
10:25
Speaker 2: times we get into these dry seasons where it's like, Okay,
10:28
Speaker 2: I'm not doing what I want to do, like I
10:30
Speaker 2: call stuck. But sometimes there's more value if we allow
10:35
Speaker 2: God to use us. There's more value in that season
10:38
Speaker 2: of being stuck in what we need to learn and
10:40
Speaker 2: get out of it, or how we're able to help
10:43
Speaker 2: someone else during that season than that very thing that
10:46
Speaker 2: we're pursuing.
10:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you say that, I look at it as
10:51
Speaker 1: a pause. Now yeah, yeah, Yeah, you had this dream
11:00
Speaker 1: were acting, You had created this platform. But then for
11:04
Speaker 1: you that fire, that fire was gone and you wanted
11:08
Speaker 1: to make a change, and you wanted to make a
11:10
Speaker 1: pivot and so frightening right to make a change and
11:14
Speaker 1: why is this happening?
11:15
Speaker 3: Right?
11:15
Speaker 1: And what should I do? So for you, what was
11:21
Speaker 1: that change? What was that pivot? And what was the calling.
11:24
Speaker 3: That you had?
11:26
Speaker 2: Yes, so I felt like the season of acting had
11:28
Speaker 2: dried up and I no longer had a passion for
11:30
Speaker 2: it like I once had. And part of the reason
11:34
Speaker 2: was the things that I was asked to participate in
11:36
Speaker 2: I didn't really connect with. And I felt like I
11:40
Speaker 2: wanted to write about things that I would want to
11:45
Speaker 2: be in. So, you know, after getting so many asks
11:48
Speaker 2: to you know, be in a certain project or audition
11:51
Speaker 2: for certain things that your values don't align with. You know, eventually,
11:55
Speaker 2: you know that can wear on you. So I felt
11:57
Speaker 2: like that, and then the struggle with acting, I kind
11:59
Speaker 2: of lost my passion for it and it transitioned into
12:03
Speaker 2: a passion for writing. So during that time, I was
12:07
Speaker 2: at the church that I was telling you about at
12:09
Speaker 2: the beginning, and I joined a small writing group and
12:13
Speaker 2: that's where I met another young dreamer who was there
12:17
Speaker 2: pursuing a filmmaking career. He was another dreamer moved from
12:20
Speaker 2: Alabama to LA and that was my husband.
12:22
Speaker 3: You know, we eventually got married.
12:25
Speaker 2: So during that season when I was pursuing this writing career,
12:29
Speaker 2: and thankfully I had connection because I do think that
12:31
Speaker 2: helps when you're pursuing something, like if you have connection
12:35
Speaker 2: in a similar passion, it helps to have that like accountability,
12:39
Speaker 2: just people that you're talking things through. So it helped
12:42
Speaker 2: to have that small group.
12:43
Speaker 3: Actually.
12:44
Speaker 2: So eventually after my husband and I we were dating
12:47
Speaker 2: at the time we got married, I went back to
12:49
Speaker 2: school got a master's in professional writing from USC and
12:54
Speaker 2: now I had this professional writing degree and after I graduated,
12:58
Speaker 2: I'm like, what am I going to do with this degree,
13:00
Speaker 2: I started freelance writing for different publications at the time
13:04
Speaker 2: until eventually I'm like, you know what, I can create
13:06
Speaker 2: my own platform, write about the things that I want
13:10
Speaker 2: to write about, and still continue to pursue my passion.
13:15
Speaker 2: So at the time, you know, because my husband's a filmmaker,
13:18
Speaker 2: I had this acting career. My husband helped me come
13:22
Speaker 2: up with the name Tensil Town Mom. I made it
13:25
Speaker 2: a point to interview celebrity moms about their journeys so
13:30
Speaker 2: they can help other moms with their journeys. And even
13:33
Speaker 2: though I was interviewing these celebrity moms, it wasn't about
13:38
Speaker 2: Hollywood or acting. It was about if you have a dream,
13:43
Speaker 2: then you can pursue that dream. How do you pursue
13:46
Speaker 2: that dream? So I wanted to use these public figures
13:49
Speaker 2: to show how they did it so they can encourage
13:52
Speaker 2: other moms in the process. So that was just, you know,
13:56
Speaker 2: another way of how I felt like I wanted to
13:58
Speaker 2: help moms. That's it's the birth of it actually where
14:01
Speaker 2: I wanted to help moms because at the time I
14:04
Speaker 2: was also a mom and helped them going through what
14:07
Speaker 2: their season of life through.
14:09
Speaker 3: At I get that and it's hard.
14:12
Speaker 1: One of the things I really want to point out
14:15
Speaker 1: is that you talk about God and being guided, and
14:19
Speaker 1: I'm very much a believer in God. So for anyone
14:23
Speaker 1: out there, your higher power, whoever that is for you,
14:28
Speaker 1: for me, it's God. You were taken Troylan from acting
14:35
Speaker 1: to a dream of writing, and you join this small
14:40
Speaker 1: group and you find the person that you married me.
14:45
Speaker 1: I was living in Denver, I was working, I had
14:48
Speaker 1: a good job, and I ended up changing my entire
14:53
Speaker 1: life within a month. I got a job in La,
14:57
Speaker 1: I broke off an engagement, I sold my house. Yes,
15:00
Speaker 1: it was a very, very trying time, but I was
15:04
Speaker 1: so driven to create that change in my life and
15:10
Speaker 1: I went to La and within three months I found
15:13
Speaker 1: my husband.
15:14
Speaker 3: Wow.
15:15
Speaker 1: My point to this is when you get that strong desire,
15:22
Speaker 1: when you need to create that change, there is a
15:25
Speaker 1: reason that you are being guided in that way, and
15:29
Speaker 1: when you cut it off, you are most times cutting
15:35
Speaker 1: off the true reason you're supposed to be there. Like,
15:39
Speaker 1: we started a whole new, beautiful path in our lives
15:42
Speaker 1: and we met our husbands that.
15:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, and your passions and your calling yes, exactly exactly.
15:51
Speaker 2: So I just want to really bring light to that.
15:54
Speaker 2: So so yeah, there right, like, and you have this
15:57
Speaker 2: strong calling, don't let that fear hold you back from that, yeah,
16:03
Speaker 2: because it leads to different purposes out your life when
16:07
Speaker 2: you are pursuing those things, you know, whether it's the
16:11
Speaker 2: relationship or you touch someone in a certain way that
16:15
Speaker 2: they needed your guidance in some way.
16:18
Speaker 1: So let me talk about for the women listening that
16:21
Speaker 1: are the crossroads right now and their dreams no longer
16:27
Speaker 1: lighting them up right, what would you say to that
16:30
Speaker 1: woman who's afraid to make that pivot?
16:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, because afraid of failure.
16:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say, and I had to rectify this
16:41
Speaker 2: with myself, is sometimes you have to take that step,
16:45
Speaker 2: but you have to do it messy.
16:48
Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm saying? You don't need to
16:49
Speaker 3: be perfect.
16:51
Speaker 2: If you have a dream and you think everything has
16:53
Speaker 2: to be laid out for you, you can take the
16:56
Speaker 2: step and do it messy, not saying you're going to
16:58
Speaker 2: be unprofessional, because we've all done things and realize, oh
17:02
Speaker 2: why did I do it like that? But you learn
17:04
Speaker 2: through the process. And I would also say that if
17:08
Speaker 2: there's a dream or a gifting that you have, think
17:12
Speaker 2: about if someone is not encountering what you have to offer.
17:17
Speaker 2: They may be staying stuck in their journey in life.
17:20
Speaker 2: Like you can be impacting someone in such a powerful way,
17:24
Speaker 2: but because you're remaining stuck or you're not allowing yourself
17:28
Speaker 2: to pursue those things out of fear or whatever it is,
17:32
Speaker 2: then someone is not getting what they need from you.
17:34
Speaker 2: Because we all have our own personal giftings from God,
17:37
Speaker 2: and I can't.
17:39
Speaker 3: Do what you do. Marcy.
17:40
Speaker 2: You're touching the people you're supposed to touch. I'm touching
17:43
Speaker 2: the people I'm supposed to touch, right, So this I
17:46
Speaker 2: just want to encourage the people listening to think about that, Like,
17:50
Speaker 2: think about how you can touch someone in a certain
17:53
Speaker 2: way by just taking that first step of pursuit, like
17:57
Speaker 2: always say pursue. Just start, Yeah, just start. And that
18:01
Speaker 2: can look different for different people. Maybe it's maybe if
18:04
Speaker 2: your passion is I'm just going to throw this out there,
18:07
Speaker 2: I don't know, organizing, Yeah, maybe you can.
18:11
Speaker 3: Start by it.
18:11
Speaker 2: Maybe there's a friend you can help who's in distress
18:15
Speaker 2: because her home is disorganized and she doesn't know what
18:17
Speaker 2: to do. Maybe you can start by just volunteering your gifts.
18:22
Speaker 2: That's how I started, just volunteering my gifts and my passions.
18:26
Speaker 2: Just volunteer and see how you're helping someone. Even if
18:29
Speaker 2: you just help one person, see how that can impact them.
18:33
Speaker 2: And maybe that'll arise something in you to want to
18:36
Speaker 2: keep going and take it further because you can help
18:38
Speaker 2: so many more people by just taking that first step.
18:42
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so true. So tell us what's the hardest
18:47
Speaker 1: truth that you had to admit to yourself during your
18:51
Speaker 1: entrepreneurial journey.
18:54
Speaker 2: Probably that it is difficult and it's not as easy
18:58
Speaker 2: as people say. So even when I am encouraging moms
19:03
Speaker 2: to pursue their passions, you know, I help them to
19:05
Speaker 2: monetize and find ways to monetize their passions, I'm not Yeah,
19:10
Speaker 2: I'm not one of these people who says, oh, yeah,
19:13
Speaker 2: do this and you'll make a million dollars. Yeah, it
19:16
Speaker 2: might be monetizing a passion and selling your crocheting patterns
19:20
Speaker 2: on Etsy, do you know what I mean? But that
19:22
Speaker 2: has opened up the door to something else.
19:24
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:25
Speaker 2: So I think that's the hard truth. People think that
19:28
Speaker 2: when they start something, they start the monetization route, that
19:32
Speaker 2: it's going to be like all these people say, it's
19:34
Speaker 2: going to be, oh yeah, you'll make seven figures if
19:36
Speaker 2: you do X, Y and Z, it doesn't It doesn't
19:39
Speaker 2: happen for most people like that. Those are the exceptions.
19:43
Speaker 2: But you can still start and do the things that
19:45
Speaker 2: you're called to do. And if you're looking to monetize,
19:48
Speaker 2: monetize in some way and still be used and it
19:51
Speaker 2: can grow into something bigger. Exactly set those expectations. Yeah,
19:56
Speaker 2: you gotta, that's just the thing you've got to start at.
20:00
Speaker 2: I think a lot of times people don't get to
20:04
Speaker 2: where they're possibly meant to be because maybe it doesn't
20:10
Speaker 2: happen fast enough for them, or they're expecting.
20:13
Speaker 1: Too much in the beginning. And you kind of got
20:17
Speaker 1: to pay your dues, right, you got to walk the
20:21
Speaker 1: walk you got to do and give of yourself and
20:25
Speaker 1: then it will come back to you. Yeah, just like
20:29
Speaker 1: you're saying, Yeah, So, if there's someone out there and
20:36
Speaker 1: they have these fears, right, or they're wanting to launch
20:41
Speaker 1: something new, what are some tools that they could use
20:46
Speaker 1: when that fear shows up, when that confidence that we
20:51
Speaker 1: talk about isn't there for them at that point.
20:55
Speaker 3: Yeah.
20:56
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like if they're having self doubt or
20:59
Speaker 2: imposter syndrome like we all have, Yeah, I feel like
21:04
Speaker 2: you have to still just walk it out despite what
21:07
Speaker 2: you're telling yourself that's negative.
21:10
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean?
21:11
Speaker 2: Like we're all going to experience that like oh I'm
21:13
Speaker 2: not good enough or that can't be the reason that
21:17
Speaker 2: you're not doing something, do you know what I mean?
21:20
Speaker 2: Because you can still be doing something and still have
21:22
Speaker 2: those fears, but you have to you have to do
21:25
Speaker 2: it afraid, like walk through the fear.
21:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.
21:30
Speaker 2: If like someone has a gifting and they're afraid, then
21:35
Speaker 2: I'm not saying, so what to that fear, But I'm saying,
21:39
Speaker 2: why would you stop just because you have a fear,
21:42
Speaker 2: Because we all have fears.
21:44
Speaker 1: We all have it, and I do a lot of
21:48
Speaker 1: things afraid.
21:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm saying practically speaking, if you have a fear,
21:55
Speaker 2: but you know you have this gift and you have
21:57
Speaker 2: this desire to pursue it, I would say, even with
22:00
Speaker 2: the fear, just take the steps to pursue the thing
22:03
Speaker 2: that you're afraid of, because oftentimes, like we may have
22:08
Speaker 2: a desire. I want to do this again, as we
22:10
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, it's not going to line up perfectly.
22:13
Speaker 3: Like we think.
22:15
Speaker 2: You know, you may think like you Marcie, you have
22:17
Speaker 2: a lot of skills and gifts from your past. Let's
22:21
Speaker 2: say you're afraid, but you know you want to be
22:23
Speaker 2: a life coach. Like I would say, well, you know
22:28
Speaker 2: you're afraid, you want to be a life coach. You
22:31
Speaker 2: know dress for success. They're looking for volunteers, they need
22:34
Speaker 2: life coaches. Why don't you just start there. There's no
22:38
Speaker 2: pressure because you're not getting paid for it. Just volunteer
22:40
Speaker 2: your time and see how it goes.
22:42
Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm.
22:43
Speaker 2: Saying, Well, start on a smaller scale with your gift,
22:47
Speaker 2: the thing that you're afraid of. Start on a smaller
22:49
Speaker 2: scale and see how it goes. Like heef, you are
22:52
Speaker 2: actually touching someone or making a difference in someone's life,
22:56
Speaker 2: and I think that will quell someone's fear when they
22:59
Speaker 2: see that they're making a huge difference in someone's life.
23:03
Speaker 1: Another thing that I that helps me today and this
23:10
Speaker 1: took time. I'm not going to say this happened overnight,
23:13
Speaker 1: but is to truly have faith like you talk about
23:17
Speaker 1: right like walking in God's purpose And I wake up
23:23
Speaker 1: every day today and I did not used to do this.
23:26
Speaker 1: This was something that through my healing journey that I
23:30
Speaker 1: have begun doing and have done consistently throughout the years.
23:35
Speaker 1: Is I start my day with God? Yes, and by
23:39
Speaker 1: doing that that could be There's there's videos I watch
23:43
Speaker 1: on YouTube that's starting with prayer and gratitude and scripture,
23:50
Speaker 1: and these things really have helped me, Yes, calm that
23:55
Speaker 1: overwhelm inside of me and to really trust the process.
24:02
Speaker 1: And a lot of times somebody will be like, well,
24:04
Speaker 1: what's your goal in five years?
24:06
Speaker 3: What do you do about this?
24:07
Speaker 1: Or blah blah, And for me, a lot of times,
24:09
Speaker 1: it's truly just having the faith and I'll do the work,
24:15
Speaker 1: But where's my calling and listening to my inner guide,
24:18
Speaker 1: my higher self? And that's God, you know, so your
24:23
Speaker 1: high you know, it could be your higher self. But
24:26
Speaker 1: I just think that and this is something that you
24:28
Speaker 1: teach and this is something that you share a lot about.
24:33
Speaker 1: Is just having that trust in your purpose and trusting
24:37
Speaker 1: and having faith and something bigger than yourself.
24:40
Speaker 3: Yeah. I talk a lot about that on my show.
24:44
Speaker 2: You know, I have a big audience of Christian moms
24:47
Speaker 2: who listen to me, So I can't attest to what
24:49
Speaker 2: you're saying, Like starting my day reading scripture asking God
24:54
Speaker 2: to guide it, like before I get on my phone,
24:56
Speaker 2: before I step out of bed, I am in the Bible,
25:00
Speaker 2: the Word, praying and asking God to set the tone
25:04
Speaker 2: for my day and even asking him what do you
25:07
Speaker 2: want me to do with this gift?
25:09
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? And that's why I say
25:11
Speaker 3: I try to help moms to pursue.
25:14
Speaker 2: And monetize their God led passion because I feel like
25:17
Speaker 2: if it's a God led passion that can turn into
25:20
Speaker 2: a purpose, it is God who wants us to pursue it.
25:24
Speaker 2: It's not just for self, it's so we can help
25:27
Speaker 2: other people. I know, I put that into perspective. We're
25:31
Speaker 2: helping other people by pursuing this, you know what I mean.
25:35
Speaker 3: Then maybe we can get out of that fear too.
25:38
Speaker 1: It is if you make it about service and make
25:40
Speaker 1: it about someone else instead of yourself. Yeah, that's a
25:45
Speaker 1: huge one.
25:46
Speaker 3: Yeah.
25:46
Speaker 2: Even when I started Tintaltown Mom, I was working a
25:50
Speaker 2: full time job, but it was my passion to do this.
25:53
Speaker 2: I didn't start it to get paid. It was just
25:55
Speaker 2: because it was an outlet for me to pursue my passion.
25:58
Speaker 2: I wasn't even thinking about monetizing when I first started it.
26:01
Speaker 3: It was just I.
26:02
Speaker 2: Wanted to use this to help moms in some way.
26:05
Speaker 2: Eventually I started monetizing it, you know what I mean.
26:08
Speaker 2: But when I first started, I wasn't even thinking about monetizing.
26:13
Speaker 1: So, and you have something coming in the future that
26:18
Speaker 1: you have a new book coming out.
26:20
Speaker 2: I do have a new book coming out later in
26:22
Speaker 2: the summer. I also have a little mini course that
26:25
Speaker 2: I just created for you know, the mom or a
26:29
Speaker 2: mom figure or the woman who is looking to monetize,
26:34
Speaker 2: to pursue actually their calling or their passion and monetize it.
26:38
Speaker 3: It's very simple.
26:39
Speaker 2: It's a simple framework that I just put together along
26:43
Speaker 2: with a workbook, a guided workbook to help them go
26:48
Speaker 2: from A to Z. So that's something that I just
26:50
