Overcoming Imposter Syndrome In Your Business or Profession with Pasha

Imposter syndrome, that nagging voice of doubt and inadequacy, can often whisper lies into our hearts, challenging our worth and purpose. In the bustling world of entrepreneurship and careers, it's all too easy to feel like we're not measuring up, like we're somehow unworthy of the successes we've achieved. But as children of God, we are called to rise above these falsehoods, to claim our identity as beloved and chosen by the Creator of the universe. Joining me on today’s episode is Pasha. As a female entrepreneur in the culinary space, Pasha has confronted and conquered the looming specter of imposter syndrome, carving out a unique path that challenges traditional norms and celebrates innovation. Despite her deep-rooted love for cooking, doubt often crept in as she navigated the predominantly male-dominated culinary industry. It was a constant battle against the voice that whispered, "You don't belong here." As she continues to redefine culinary boundaries, she is driven by a singular mission: to empower aspiring entrepreneurs, particularly women, to embrace their potential and pursue their dreams with unwavering confidence. For it is not the doubts that define us, but rather the courage to silence them and forge ahead, one goal at a time. Together, we'll uncover the tools and principles that empower us to silence the voice of imposter syndrome and step boldly into the calling God has placed on our lives. Here's what to expect in today’s episode: What effects does imposter syndrome have on your business growth and professional development? How does imposter syndrome impact your confidence? What role does your faith play in helping you navigate imposter syndrome?

Today's episode is a beacon of hope and inspiration for those navigating the complexities of life's demands. Whether it's our careers, relationships, talents, or resources, we all possess something that we're called to steward faithfully in service to God's kingdom. Here's what to expect in today’s episode: Overcoming our doubts when God is calling us into the unknown. How we can activate our faith in uncertain times.

A God-Designed Love Story with Esther Chungu Nyathando

Ladies and gentlemen! I am so so excited to be back again with a new conversation that has been long overdue with my lovely friend Esther. We get real and talk about singleness, why it’s important to listen to God’s voice in all areas of your life, and especially when you are ready to get married. A God-designed love story requires us to all acknowledge where we are at with God, how we view relationships, and why we want to be in a relationship in the first place. When we do this, we allow God to do what He does best and we get to enjoy His will coming to pass in our lives without us trying to be in control. Here’s what you can expect from our conversation today: Living as a single God-fearing woman and what that REALLY feels like. The questions we ask God when we are waiting. Staying focused on the vision of your life. Trusting God through it all. How do I know the person I am with is aligned with my purpose?

This How I Fight My Battles

Do you know your real enemy? Are you fighting a battle that isn’t yours? How do we receive strategies to fight the things that feel like they are about to take us out? The word of God has all the answers we need. Today’s episode is really special for me because I’ve had to take a good look at my own battles, and how I tend to rely on my own strength when things get hard. But recently I’ve been receiving such powerful revelations from the Holy Spirit on how to fight from the position of victory and what this looks like. God wants us to always remember that He fights our battles for us, and all we have to do is trust in His ways, His word, and His love for us. I am confident that today’s conversation will bless you as much as it did me!  “For we[a] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 Join the community: Follow Bloomers: @wearebloomers on all platforms Follow The Host: @beliyandhlovu on all platforms Subscribe to our newsletter here: http://eepurl.com/hao28f Yellow Ray Digital Agency: www.yellowraydigital.com #KeepOnBlooming

Showing Yourself Grace When You Feel Like You Are Failing.

Hello once again! Let’s get started with a quick life update, and reflect. Our episode today is all about grace and failure. Our hope is that you ask yourself this questions “What is my relationship with failure and how do I show myself grace if any?” Giving ourselves grace is easier said than done. We beat ourselves up for mistakes and things that are out of our control. It may be a cliche catchphrase, but it's one we should start taking to heart -- the times when you need grace most are the times when you're least likely to give it to yourself. What you should expect Know how to strive for realness, not perfection Importance of permitting yourself to not do or be everything Why your me-time should be a priority not an option Keeping our eyes on Jesus, always Questions to answer How do you self-regulate? How do you spend your me-time? What things do you cut off to be sane? Who in your life constantly reminds you to show yourself grace when you forget? Do you spend time journaling your emotions and feelings?

7. The 33% Rule: How Your Network Impacts Your Growth

7. The 33% Rule: How Your Network Impacts Your Growth The 33% rule states that 33% of your time should be spent with mentors (people that challenge you), 33% with your peers (those on the same level as you), and 33% with people that you can mentor and guide. The idea was created by Tai Lopez, a TED speaker and creator of some famously annoying YouTube videos in which he shows off his incredible wealth. I don’t normally take advice from Lamborghini drivers, but in this case, I think Lopez may be on to something. I'm a firm believer in your network is your net worth, and this rule has been at work in my life without me even realizing it. It has helped me bear so many fruits and I thought, why not share this with you? Here’s what you can expect: How the 33% rule has helped me in my everyday interactions Why do you need to start assessing your circle of friends and network How to build healthier relationships with people you respect and honor Should you invest in mentorship? Five things you can try to implement the 33% rule. Ask yourself the hard questions about the people you surround yourself with Write down your values and pray over them - ask God to bring the right people your way Create space for God to bless you. Whatever that looks like for you eg: spend more time in prayer, ask people you trust for advice Write down a few things you want to achieve and think of the people you will need to help you get there. This will help you assess the type of character you want around you Pray. Pray!

6. Resting Is Adulting Too with Sampa Nakamba

In a world that glorifies business and celebrates “the hustle”, slowing down and resting is a form of rebellion against what society deems as important. This act of slowing down allows us to create space for the Holy Spirit to meet us where we are at. Whatever that looks like for you, good or bad. The point is you are allowing God to meet you as you are without you ‘cleaning up’ before you invite Him in and surrender your will to always be busy. This act of rebellion is something ambitious women like myself and my guest today are on a quest to perfect. Here’s what you can expect: Godly rest vs worldly rest What has God been revealing and teaching us about rest The process of taming your inner busy bee Advice for ambitious women that need to embrace resting Follow Sampa Her personal page: https://www.instagram.com/sampa_x/ Rubi Trii: https://www.instagram.com/rubi.trii/ Join the community: Follow Bloomers: @wearebloomers on all platforms Follow The Host: @beliyandhlovu on all platforms Subscribe to our newsletter here: http://eepurl.com/hao28f Yellow Ray Digital Agency: www.yellowraydigital.com #KeepOnBlooming

The modern Christian lifestyle + society have placed a huge stamp of importance on serving, but you have to stop and ask yourself this question: Am I living true to myself or am I striving to please others?
