10 - Overcoming Obstacles

Annaliese and Alan talk about how obstacles are a frustrating, but normal (and sometimes empowering) part of making changes in our life. Annaliese brings up how obstacles are challenging, but thinking new ways about them help you get better results than before.

You’ll Hear About:

1. Embracing Normal: Obstacles are a normal part of intentional living, and acknowledging they will happen is the first step towards growth.

2. Your Relationship with Yourself: The way you navigate obstacles is a reflection of your relationship with yourself. Learn how self-awareness can empower you to overcome challenges.

3. Handling Obstacles: Understanding how you typically respond to obstacles gives you a valuable opportunity to redefine how you see yourself and start thinking better thoughts.

4. You Have A Choice: Every obstacle is an internal choice point for you. You have the agency to decide how you'll handle challenges, even when it feels like you're trapped.

5. God Made You Capable: Annaliese reminds us that we're designed by God to conquer obstacles from a place of real capability, confidence, and curiosity.
