Finding motivation, especially in this season, is hard. Last year, we went through a lot. There was so much hope for 2021 and all that it would bring. As we can see, things did not change over night. What does it look like to set goals in a season like this? How do you get moving? These are the questions that I answer in today's pep talk episode of the Growth & Grace Podcast!  www.amberleagray.com 

So much of this past year was unexpected. I look at the goals I set in January, and they are laughable! But you know what?! That doesn't mean this year was a waste. In this episode, I talk about the 20 lessons that 2020 taught me. I think some of them will resonate, and I think some of them will surprise you!  www.amberleagray.com  

We are about enter the season of New Years resolutions, goal setting and intention words. I'm the first one to say that I LOVE all of those things, buy if 2020 has taught me anything it is that things do not always go as planned. We have to limit ourselves. Just because we can do something does not mean it is ours to do. This is a pep talk to encourage us to be intentional about where we spend our time and energy, especially as we go into a new year.  www.amberleagray.com 

On Today's episode of the Growth & Grace podcast I do something that thought I would NEVER do! I'm sharing a sermon I preached at this year's Longest Night Service. The Longest Night service is a time and space to acknowledge that during this Christmas season of joy, not everyone feels joyful. For a lot of us, especially this year, the holidays feel empty and full of grief. If you have been struggling or know someone who has been struggling, then episode is for you!  www.amberleagray.com 

We talk about how to care for yourself physically. As a culture, we are even more open to talking about how to care for yourself emotionally. But how are you doing spiritually? At the core of who you are, how is it with your soul? On today's episode I talk about what Soul Care is and what you can do to start that journey! This is important work y'all.

We are not getting where we want to go, but we don't know why! It seems like life is going well for everyone else...am I right? Have you thought this to yourself? The reality is, we get in our own way. We self-sabotage and it keeps us from achieving the life we dream about. In this episode, I unpack 3 ways that you might be self-sabotaging. Let me tell you, I needed to hear them! I think they will speak to you as well!  www.amberleagray.com
