RISE. RECLAIM. RADIATE.
Well, hello again. Welcome to She Shines with Coach KG. And I am so excited to share this private time with you. No guest today. It's just you and I. But you might want to grab your favorite drink. I have mine. As a matter of fact, my coffee cup says, don't dream your life. Live your dreams. So appropriate for our talk today. So grab your favorite drink. Grab your notebook, something to write with, or iPad, iPhone, whatever you keep notes on. Because today we are going to talk about. Well, let's look at the title. The title says, She believes, she books, she's she becomes. And we are talking about me. I am going to be totally transparent with you about my next chapter. So if you follow me on Facebook or if you're a part of the She Shines Facebook group, and if you're not, why not? Come on in. But I've been sharing some things as I am believing and booking and becoming. So today's chat is about my November Arizona stay. I'm also going to talk about why Arizona represents more than just a destination and what intentional living looks like in real time. So this isn't about travel. I want you to know, even though I love travel, but this isn't about travel today. This is about trust. So for the first few minutes, I want to talk about. You've heard me talk about the living script. Kendra, who was a guest a few weeks ago, shared her living script, and she shared the concept with me. And I created my own living script. The living script is read or listened to every day. And it is data that your mind actually records in the retricular activating system, the base of your brain. And with that, I know that my brain is working to make what I am saying come true. Now, I remember Kendra said that she revised hers, and I'm going to be adding some additional things to my living script. But basically, I wrote the vision, and before I could see the evidence, I believed it.
SPEAKER_00I trust it.
SPEAKER_01And I'm going to be honest, I'm not waiting forever. It is unfolding right before my eyes. My days are intentional on purpose. No wandering, no wandering. They are intentional, and they are aligned in what I have said in my living script. It takes discipline. I'm just going to let you know that. To build up the momentum. So what you say, well, what's the discipline? What do I have to do? Well, you read it every morning, or if you want to read it at night, you read it in the mirror with you looking at yourself. You can also record it and listen to it. So sometimes I play it in my car as I'm driving around.
SPEAKER_00So I have questions for you pertaining to this.
SPEAKER_01What have you written but not acted on?
SPEAKER_00What life are you waiting to approve?
SPEAKER_01I want you to write this quote down. I hope you wrote those two questions. Let me go back and just reiterate those questions. What have you written but not acted on? And what life are you waiting to approve? And on that same note, I want you to write down this quote. Clarity isn't knowing every step. Clarity is knowing the next one. Let me say that again. Clarity isn't knowing every step.
SPEAKER_00Clarity is knowing the next one. Stay tuned at the end because I am going to invite you to something that with me that will help you.
SPEAKER_01And if you need proof, just keep following me on social media. Keep listening to the podcast because you are going to see the evidence of what I am believing and hoping for. Not hope like I hope it happens. Hope. Faith is the hope of things not yet seen. So I am building faith by believing in the things I don't see yet.
SPEAKER_00But I believe that they will happen.
SPEAKER_01Now let's talk about how I felt as things started to unfold. Whew, I I'm gonna be totally transparent again. Let's talk about fear and forward motion. Fear, F-E-A-R, is false evidence appearing real. It's actually based upon our limited thinking, and it stops so many of us from accomplishing that which we want to achieve. So even for me, after I booked Arizona, and I'll just let you know, Arizona is a 30-day experience. I'm going there and act as if I live there. I'm not going there as a tourist. I just wanted to backtrack a little bit and let you know that I'm going there, acting like I live there. So I'll still do the podcast, I still will do coaching, I still will do personal shopping, but it's in a different environment. And once I booked what I'm believing for, because I'm looking for a new home base, the fear that crept up in my mind was you're leaving what's familiar. I'm familiar with where I am now in Washington State. I've been here this time around over five years. I also got a little uneasy about financially stretching. See, I knew I was going to have to do some things with my finances in order to make this happen. And so in my living script, I say I have more than enough money to accomplish my goals. And then what I find I am doing is I'm looking for ways to save. And I'm putting money aside. You've heard me, I talked about it and shared it in the um She Shines Facebook group about my 100 envelope challenge. And I have so far, I think it's the third, I'm on my fourth row. You have a little chart, one through a hundred. And each envelope represents a dollar, one, two dollars, three dollars for all the way to one hundred. And when you fill up all one hundred envelopes in whatever time frame, you will have a total of five thousand fifty dollars. Now, I keep my book out of sight and out of mind, except for my daily or every other day, I'm putting actual cash in the envelopes.
SPEAKER_00But yes, that was a fear emotionally uncertain, but that didn't last because the essence of me believed that if I had peace in my spirit, that means God gave me that peace. And then I don't mind sharing.
SPEAKER_01In July, I will be sixty-nine. And so when this when I go into next year, 2027, I will be seventy. So you can imagine the thoughts about reinvention at my age? But see, even though I am semi-retired, I'm retired from the corporate world, this what I do is in alignment with what my strengths are. So what who said we couldn't do things at when we get to a certain age? I thank God I have my health. Just had my mammogram, and no issues.
SPEAKER_00So I want to live.
SPEAKER_01Now, I have what I call the five P's progress, and I was reminded of those five P's. And let me just teach that for a moment, okay? The first P is promise. And in the Word of God, there wow, there's thousands. I I used to know approximately how many, but I know there are thousands of promises in His Word. And what God promises cannot return to him void. So I am standing on a promise. I'm believing in that promise, in those promises. And the second P there is a process. So let me tell you, just because you're believing in the promise, you don't get to just sit down and wait for the rain to come. Like everything you want is just going to trickle into your life. No, it doesn't have it does not happen that way. As a matter of fact, this is what I say. If you want God's supernatural, that means you have to do something in the natural. And he will add super to it. But there is no such word as super nothing. So there is second P process. There is a process. There's steps that you take. And I said clarity is not knowing every step, but it's knowing the next one. So you have a promise. You have several promises. There is a process. You can create by speaking what you want, and the process will happen. But let me tell you something that is the third P in progress. Problems. You will encounter problems. Well, oh, Coach KG, that's it, right there. I'll just keep stay right where I am. Problems will come, but problems are not there as obstacles to stop you from progressing because you know it's part of the process and you are believing in the promises. I'm trying to stay calm, but I get very passionate about this, and you can hear it in my voice. If you know that there's going to be problems, the next step when problems arise is to decide: do I need to go over this? Do I need to go around this? Do I need to go to the right? Do I need to go to the left? Do all I want to do is knock the problems out. Not promoting violence, of course. But when you do that, ooh, my dear sisters and queens, the fourth P is perseverance. You will persevere, you will have conquered, and you'll move forward.
SPEAKER_00And when you move forward, based on what you believed with the promise, and you trust the process.
SPEAKER_01And when the problems come, you won't be surprised because you will find a way or make one.
SPEAKER_00You will persevere because when you do all of that, the fifth P in progress is you obtain the prize. Oh, yes, you do. So I just wanted to teach that right here.
SPEAKER_01I reminded myself of that as I go through this process.
SPEAKER_00Another quote for you. Movement disrupts fear.
SPEAKER_01If you don't move, fear will encompass your ever every fiber of your being.
SPEAKER_00Well, what if I don't take the right move? Just move. Just move.
SPEAKER_01And you will find out whether it was the right one or not. But if you stay stuck, plant your feet, fear will keep you right there.
SPEAKER_00So I said, this is intentional living.
SPEAKER_01That's the next chapter of my life. Intentional. In alignment. How to know when it's time to move.
SPEAKER_00Let me tell you what I realized about myself. Okay.
SPEAKER_01You'll know it's time to move when you've outgrown your current situation, your current season, the season that you're in. You just don't even feel comfortable. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. By no means. I am, I tell people I'm great and I'm grateful. And complaining, it don't do any good anyway. But you just have that uneasiness, like am I supposed to be here right now, and where I am, who I'm with?
SPEAKER_00Your spirit feels restless. That's another. That's another sign that you know that you need to move. Glimpses of your vision keeps returning. See, my vision is sunshine.
SPEAKER_01And it doesn't have to be the beach, but it could be a lake. Because I like water. I like the warmth. And I know what you're thinking, because you you know my first destination is Arizona. You think, oh, you're gonna get that. You're gonna get some heat.
SPEAKER_00But also, you'll know it's time to move when you have peace. I have that peace. It came when I made the decision and I prayed about it. Why does this season matter to me? I'm gonna try to share this without getting emotional. Okay? This season matters to me. Because it's actually part of a vision that my coach had for me. And my husband told me to live my life. And I'm ready now to fully live it. Not looking for permission or approval. I'm ready to live my life. I did it.
SPEAKER_01I still got a lump in my throat, but I did it. You now know why. But get it get excited for me. I hope you are. Because I'm in the process of one July 3rd this year will be one year of She Shines with Coach KG. And I am gonna work with my associate producer, and I want to plan something big.
SPEAKER_00And then you just keep watching.
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna be sharing on social media as I prepare for this new season, the next chapter. That's what I call it, the next chapter. So, what is this clarity thing? Sometimes your next chapter doesn't need more time, it needs clarity.
SPEAKER_00So I do offer a four-week clarity reset as your coach.
SPEAKER_01I also offer a one-hour discovery call, which the discovery call, we we go through some things, we unveil some things about you, and then we also discuss about seven areas of your life, and then you get a blueprint based on what you share with me, and then we also do some vision planning.
SPEAKER_00So those are things I offer, those are the things I went through. So here's your call to action as I start to wrap this up. This is your success work, not homework.
SPEAKER_01Because homework nobody wants to do. But I know you want success, so there's work to do to gain that success. I want you to journal four questions that I'm going to give you. I'll also put it put them in the show notes in case you know you don't have your paper, your driving, or whatever, okay? They'll be in the show notes. I want you to journal about the following. What have I been saying I want? This is you. I'm just phrasing as if you were saying it. What have I been saying I want? The second question to journal about what action would make it real?
SPEAKER_00What action would make it real? The third question I want you to journal about is what am I afraid of losing? What am I afraid of losing?
SPEAKER_01And the last question to ask yourself is what could I gain by moving?
SPEAKER_00What could I gain by moving?
SPEAKER_01So those are the four questions that I want you to journal about. And you can do one of two things. You can schedule a discovery call or clarity a reset session with me. The links are in the show notes. Or you can email me. If you want to share your responses to the questions that you journaled about, you can email me at coachkgthenum fifty-seven at gmail.com. I'll put that in the show notes as well. I'm about to close now, at least for this session. But stay tuned because I am totally being transparent because I know I'm not the only one who's ever gone through this. Arizona is my first stop.
SPEAKER_00But do you know my real destination is becoming? Yes, it's becoming. The next chapter is not accidental, it's intentional, it's also aligned, and yes, it is necessary.
SPEAKER_01So you know how I like to close, but stay tuned because I I decided it was time for some shout-outs, and I don't have actual names of people in these cities. Um, if you I think you can email or text somewhere, or you can even send a message in the She Shines uh Facebook group.
