Monday Fire 41 | Have You Ever Been Pain Shamed? Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

Times are pretty crazy right now and people are handling it in so many different ways. But one thing I want us all to keep in check is pain-shaming or playing the hardship olympics. There is always someone worse off, but that doesn't mean your pain or fear or frustration or sadness isn't valid. Often times, people just want to be seen and heard. Listen as I share an experience from my week where I was pain shamed. I also got some great feedback and advice from you guys that I know to will be helpful!

Helpful Responses

I am so sorry this is happening.
I hear what you are saying.
I see that you are in pain.
Is there anything I can do to help?

Why You Should Not Rely Solely on Etsy to Sell Your Goods Part 2 | Episode 159 Mar 11, 2020

Show notes

If you have followed me for a hot minute, you know I am a firm believer of never putting all your eggs in one basket. When you use someone else's platform to sell your goods, you have to follow their rules and their guidelines. And when they make changes to those rules, you have NO option but to follow along—even if those changes make a negative impact on your business that you have worked so hard to build! Let's dive into what has happened on Etsy lately and what I think you should do about it!

Monday Fire 40 | When Distraction Is Good Mar 09, 2020

Show notes

Sometimes the enemy can use distraction to take your focus off where it needs to be. However, I think God can also use something in our lives as a way to distract us in a good way. Right now I am doing a liver detox and have been very distracted by focusing on the health and wellness of my family. The blessing is that it has prevented me from worrying and fretting over my conference and book tour. We can reframe distraction as a way to help us deal with worry and struggle!

Romans 8:28

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Show notes

The last Equipped speaker I want you to get to know is Jordan Lee Dooley. I learned so much already just in this short podcast episode. I can't wait to hear what she shares from the stage in just a few short weeks. She started with a small Etsy shop while still in college with no plan to get to where she is today. She believes that you don't have to find your purpose, but instead, just need to learn how to implement what you already have! I love it and I know you will too!

Monday Fire 39 | Turn Failure into Success in Training Mar 02, 2020

Show notes

I just love it when God gives me a whole idea from something seemingly small like a workout move. I was trying to follow along with my Peloton app and was really making a mess of this particular exercise. Then the instructor said it was okay if we were struggling. She explained we were teaching our bodies how to recover quickly. Listen in as I unpack how we can use this concept in our businesses and lives. Let's look at how we can reframe stumbling or failing as training for success!

Training to Confidence

Training (including failure) gives us strength.
Strength gives us courage.
Courage gives us the ability to try new experiences.
Experiences give us confidence.

Monday Fire 38 | When Something is Out of Alignment Feb 24, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever entered a password and thought you have it right, but it didn't work? Or, do you remember old padlocks where if you were just one tiny click off, the lock wouldn't open? I want you to think of what you have going on right now in life and business. Is it possible that maybe you have one thing out of alignment? Maybe there is one thing that you need to adjust and then everything else will fall into place. I have some questions to help you check your alignment.

Alignment Check

Are you working in the right place?
Are you in the right relationship or holding on to a wrong relationship?
Are you at the right church?
Have you made a wrong partnership in business?
Are you selling the right product?
Are you doing what God is asking you to do?

During a quiet and lonely night of seeking, she asked God for a billion-dollar idea and soon after, saw a business plan in a dream.

Jaime embarked on her entrepreneurial journey the next morning and after eight long years of trial and error.... and a lot of mistakes and tears... her multi seven-figure company is one of the fastest-growing organic skincare companies in the world. Jaime now stands at the forefront of business as a force for good, bridging her two empires, MIG and The HER Effect together to equip and surround women who are ready to rise. She is passionately paving the way for women to embody true beauty, pursue purpose, and embark on their own journey towards Becoming HER with profitability and a soul set on fire.
