Hey Beautiful, Welcome to Adulting Empowered. Do childhood memories linger and keep you stuck in shame or feeling insecure? Are you fearful of not having enough when it comes to money, work, or relationships? Do you wish you could feel secure in your true Identity and Purpose, instead of external sources of value? Well, you’re not alone, and I’m so excited you found us! This podcast will help you see that your childhood trauma wasn’t your fault, and that YOU can stop the generational cycles of your family. With God’s help, you can become free to pursue God’s plan for your life. You’ll also find and connect with a community of believers who are working on healing their childhood trauma also, in order to live out their purpose, intentionally build happy marriages, and raise kids God’s way! Hi, I’m Susie, a daughter of the king, wife, and girl mom. I grew up believing the lies of my childhood, that my worth was based on external things, like money and people. So naturally, as a young adult, I sought after financial security, career performance, and titles. I thought if I got to a certain level of income or management, I would find peace, so I sacrificed my health, precious time with family, and anything else that got in the way of work success. After 22 years in Corporate America, I was burned out, and finally realized that security in anything other than Jesus would never be enough. I would always strive for more money, more achievement, and more recognition for my efforts. But with Jesus, I already had everything I needed. And He was faithful to provide for all my needs. Luke 12:28 says, “If God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?” So, I ditched my limiting beliefs from childhood, and exchanged them for a lifestyle of trusting God for all my needs, which led to discovering the healthiest, most peaceful, and purpose-driven version of me. God has a plan to heal and restore all that was broken in our childhood, if we let him, and I want to share how with you. Psalms 23:1 says “the Lord is my shepherd. I lack nothing. And I want YOU to know that YOU lack nothing. You are Called and equipped for the life destined for You. If you’re Ready for a life with God where Everything and Everyone is For you, then welcome to your POD! Once your limiting beliefs are removed, you’ll discover a life of freedom and power with God. God designed you to become, do, and have everything you’re created for. Get ready to laugh, cry and grow together as a community. It’s about to get LIT up in here (pun intended)! Love, Sus

...Friend, did you know that everything that happens in life can be used for your good? Romans 8:28 says “God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Not some things, ALL things work together for our good…. That’s great news, but do you believe it? How different would your life be if you actually believed that your only 2 options were to win or learn som...

One of the most important things I learned in marriage was how to manage my anger. Growing up, I watched my parents fight, and every fight would devolve into the same pattern of disrespect and dishonor, and I picked up their dysfunctional ways of fighting, so I had to unlearn those habits, before adopting new ones to fight more productively.
So today, we’ll talk about how we can manage my anger, through boundaries, and ultimately ...
