🎬 A Behind the Scenes Look Even after 3+ years of teaching on Zoom + doing Live Virtual Events… I still do this before I hit that LIVE button! ▶️ Now, I’m still working on regulating my nervous system, time management + so many other disciplines that can help keep me calm… 🕊️ But I’ve also learned that I GET TO attach a meaning to the emotion I’m experiencing… now when I feel the “nerves” come over me as I’m about to take the stage (whether virtual or in-person), I no longer allow the attached message to be, “you don’t deserve this… you’re not ready… you’re not capable…) I understand that if God called me to it, I’m gonna feel the fear and DO IT ANYWAY! ⚡️ This emotion can now help me remember to stay in a place of HUMILITY: a place of total dependence on God! This emotion can help me remember I am only human… and if by the power of God, I can do this… by golly… Women everywhere can!!! 🎤 ➡️ Watch this behind the scene clip and let me know if you can relate!! . . . #TBMA #KingdomEntrepreneur #WomenWhoSpeak #YesLord #YLC2023 #SheSpeaksTruth

🎙️ What would this look like REDEEMED? I challenge you to ask this question throughout this week? When you think of the work you do… when you envision future dreams… when you look at the world wishing it was different… 🌎 Ask this question. Then sit with Jesus and talk out the answer. ➡️ What would _______ look like redeemed?! After all… isn’t this our mandate as Christ-Followers?! To expand the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth + Glorify the King of Kings through the work that we GET TO DO WITH HIM! We are called to co-create with God! Being UNDER the authority of our Lord as we bow down before Him + take direction from Him AND THEN… operate in authority (delegated power) as we tend to the earth and perpetuate human flourishing. 🌳 Let’s remember that God wants to REDEEM EVERYTHING + when we come into agreement with His TRUTH + operate from a place of humility, courage, and love… We’ll see it happen all around us! . . . Thank you for living this out: @disciplenations @qideas @thebeautifulmind_academy @tamra.andress @ceoforwomen @grantskeldon @chauncea @alissamcircle @kaitness @adamimobflores #GloryToGod #Redeemed #CoCreate #Covenant

📢 Someone’s breakthrough may be riding on YOU sharing YOUR story? That means there’s a woman out there praying for just a lil more courage to: - Move on - Let go - Trust God - Try once more - Build the business - Launch the project - Forgive her enemy - Use her voice - Share her story - Begin to heal - Open up - Ask again - Follow through - Surrender to God - Let love in - Say yes... 🕊That idea that God has given you, that thing He’s brought you through, and the dream He’s entrusted you with... isn’t JUST for you... IT’S FOR HER, too. 💥 ➡️ You ready? #YourSTORYmatters  #YourSOULmatters  #BeBraveWithYourVoice  #BeBraveWithYourLife  #IfYouCanDoItSheCanDoIt  #Sisterhood  #YesLord 📸: @pheleniusphoto

📣 We’re going LIVE!!! Starting this April, we’re taking this YLC party on the road! (So to speak!) Every week, you’ll hear from Female Entrepreneurs who have given God their YES as they continually pursue co-creating with our Creator! Why are these women risking an out-of-boat way of living? To bring GLORY to God + GOODNESS to others as they bring TRUTH + BEAUTY into every industry, every place, and every conversation! As New Creations in Christ Jesus, we are now AMBASSADORS of Heaven! That means WE are the ambassadors of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness in the world! So let’s get serious about it, Girls! So I have this theory, (you’ll be hearing A LOT more on this) Men and Women of God are called to be ENTREPRENEURIAL! We’re called to be SALT + LIGHT. We’re called to problem solve + be part of solutions. We’re called to risk, to grasp, to swim out. We’re called to go into all the world! We’re called to make disciples of Jesus! We’re called to baptize others in the name of the Father, Son + Holy Spirit! We’re called to teach the commands of God + stir up a heart for obedience! We’re called to CO-CREATE with The Living God to expand the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN here on earth! My passion is being stirred up to awaken this reality in the hearts of God’s Daughters! SOUND THE 🚨 ALARM!!!! EZER KENEGDOS all over the world are WAKING UP to this clarion call from the Holy Spirit: “Talitha koum.” “ARISE DAUGHTER!!!!” And may we heed these words like the little girl in Mark 5, “Immediately the girl got up and began to walk. At this they were utterly astounded.” Let’s ASTOUND THE WORLD + MAKE THE NAME OF JESUS KNOWN! Drop a 📣 in the comments if you’re ready! . . . . . . #EzerKenegdo #KingdomWomen #Entrepreneurship #Jesus #KingdomOfHeaven #Light #Salt #YLCLIVE

STAY CONNECTED: To Jesus To your Soul To your Family To your Sisters We were made to do life in community! Lord knows my Sisters have helped my heart heal + have saved my life (so to speak!) throughout the decades. 🔥🕊️🙏🏼 Like we said in the entertainment industry, “BE ready so you don’t have to GET ready.” (You never knew when that last minute audition would fall in your lap.) I think that about connections. BE connected so you don’t have to always GET connected. We as humans often don’t move until we have to lean away from pain. Why not just lean into pleasure now?! Desperation isn’t the only motivation! 👍🏼 Be a good friend so you’ll always be surrounding by good friends. Takes one to know one, right?! Steward the gift of Sisterhood well! 💗 That way when good times come… you’ll have a sister to celebrate with! And when hard times come, you’ll have a shoulder to cry on. ➡️ What do you look for in a Friend?! What’s one thing you bring to the friendship?! . . . . . . . . . . #Sisterhood #TheBeautifulMindAcademy

📣 WOMEN: WE ARE BUILT TO BUILD! Did you know that?! Let’s look at the Genesis 2:22… when GOD created woman! 💗 The Hebrew word here is BANA: to build 🔨 (H1129 in the Strong’s Concordence) I am OBSESSED with learning about our Lord as the CREATOR OF ALL and also how and WHY He created everything. 🌍 #BiblicalWorldView Ladies, we are made - BUILT - in His image and likeness and we have the CAPACITY TO BUILD families, communities, nations, movements, businesses… anything God calls you to build! AAAAAND we are CALLED to build with The Holy Spirit! This is where the wisdom flows from. This is where the freedom comes from. This is where the JOY springs from… So girls… are you going to take a step of COURAGE and say YES LORD to BUILDING WITH HIM?!!! I wanna know!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏿‍♀️ . . . #KingdomEntrepreneurs #YesLord #HolySpirit #Women #BiblicalWomanhood #Build

Can you tell, I took this MAKE-A-WISH moment seriously! Thank you to whoever captured this snapshot! (Was it you @allisonelliottbeauty or @alissamcircle 💗📸😜) I love how my sweet friends allow space for soulful pauses, even during celebratory moments. (Love you @kacyanacan - you always do! 🙏🏼🕊️) This photo brings to mind sage advice my mentor (@aliciabrittchole ) once shared with me. The difference between: a GOAL + a DESIRE Simply put, a goal is something you can achieve when your own free will partners with God. A desire involves someone ELSE’S free will partnering with God, too. Aka. It’s beyond your control. The example I was given went something like this: Goal: To walk on the beach 3x a week. Desire: To walk on the beach with my Husband 3x a week. Big difference, huh!?! This has been incredibly important to help ward of guilt and shame. You can only do what YOU can do. You can’t control others. But God is Sovereign! And even though He gave humans free will… He is still Lord of ALL. This brings a layered perspective to Psalm 37:4. Truly only God is ABLE to give me the desires of my heart. Okay, Pop Quiz time: Tell me if this is a GOAL or DESIRE: “I want to have 25 new students enroll in my next online course.” Did you say, “desire”?! Yep. You’re right. The goal here would be how many people you reach out to, what marketing strategy you use, which community you’re growing with, which coach you invest in… what YOU can achieve. The way I see it is: GOALS = input / stewardship DESIRES = outcome / God’s Sovereignty This differentiation has been especially helpful recently in marriage, health, and business. How bout you, Friend? Is this a helpful reminder?! Lemme know! 🎉

📖 I used to watch 90210 with a pen and notebook so I could write down all my outfit ideas for High school. Hehe. I’ve always loved fashion + beauty. I was fascinated by it all. I recognized it was an art form, even from a young age. I realize though, a small piece of me… the creative, stylish piece of me… was put on the back burner in 2019 when a neck injury put me on bed rest for 5 months. 🤯 That year and into 2020, it was comfort over everything. Every ounce of energy went into healing. It’s taken a long while to get back to ME in some regards. I feel like I’ve been recovering, in one way or another, over the past 4.5 years. Anyone else feel like that? Like a huge “Under Construction” sign is hanging over your life. 😜 Oy vey. Perhaps that’s one of the few things we all have in common: we’re all existing in the messy middle. 🙏🏼 All that being said, when I caught a glimpse of my outfit in the @barebunnyaesthetics mirror… all this came flooding to mind and I felt more like ME again! The Jeshi who was voted Best Dressed in High School (and in Jr. High 😜) The artful soul who enjoyed getting dressed each morning. I want her back. So… an #OOTD was in order to commemorate! 📸 . . . #GirlTalk

Figured I needed a lil green for my feed today! 😜 I’ve been contemplating GROWTH a lot lately. It doesn’t always look like outward glorious-reaching-to-the-sky growth… Often times the most imperative growth is hidden + hard. And there are different directions for growth: Growing Deep (Soulful + Spiritual) Growing Wide (Communal + Relational) Growing Tall (Creatively + Entrepreneurially) Which direction are you currently growing in?! . . . #Growth
