  <description>It's not often that people will refer to pain as beautiful. Whe we are going through a painful season it's difficult to see a light at the end of the tunnel let alone any beauty. It is only when we realise that God is with us in every season and can use any situation for our good, we are able to shift our perspective.
Our guest shares a painful season in her life and how God guided her through it. She encourages us to draw closer to God in our suffering and to focus on his purpose  in order for us to livebeyond our circumstances. 
If you are going through a difficult season reach out to us for coaching and support by visiitng www.purosefullivinginc.org. For more encouragement find us on Instagram and Facebook @purposefullivinginc

  <description>Transformation can seem daunting when you’re going through challenges and enduring pain. We can find ourselves asking “why me” but when we acknowledge that transformation is a process and not a destination we can grow and heal. Our guest, Jamie, reminds us that we have to start by pausing and reflecting on our current state in order to make changes and embrace the work God wants to do in our lives on the path to transformation. 
She emphasises the need to shift our perspective and see that God uses those hardships and equips us as we heal; which enables us to speak into the lives of others with compassion and understanding. When we embark on the path of transformation it impacts our mindset and our lives in positive ways. We have to invest time and step into opportunities for growth because when we do we transform.

  <description>Freedom means different things to different people. For us, freedom means being set free through Jesus's sacrifice on the cross; we don't have to strive for it or try to earn it because it has been given to us as a gift. 
In this episode we explore 3 aspects of freedom and how that relates not only to our personal growth but to our ability to make an impact in this world. Share with us - what does freedom mean to you?

  <description>As we get older we sometimes forget to be playful. We get bogged down by the seriousness of life and forget to look on the bright side. 
There are many ways in which we can incorporate play in our lives and ensure it becomes a priority. Being playful and focusing on the joy in our lives helps us to show up more fully not only for others but for ourselves as well. 
We spread light and joy when we allow oursleves to let our guards own, to put down the to-do list and to revel in the joys of life.

  <description>There is a difference between fun and joy. Fun can be temporary in its sometimes fleeting nature. When we esperience joy it enriches our lives. When we accept where we are and find joy even through the difficult seasons, we are able to be in gratitude. We need to be intentional about cultivating joy in our lives.
