Well, not anymore. It takes courage and boldness to call your shot but I know you have it in you and so do I. Listen in as I share my story with you and ask Brazen people from all walks of life to share their tools and discoveries that help to unlock our true selves and walk in freedom.

If you've ever felt trapped by people-pleasing or hesitant to make bold moves because you're worried about what others will think, this episode is for you. It's time to release the need for human validation and walk boldly in your God-given calling.

This week I am so excited to have this BRAZEN babe, Angela Griffith, on the show to talk about the very needed topic of sex in marriage. It is not talked about enough within the Christian church (or anywhere for that matter) in a healthy way and in a way that addresses the differences between men and women. Plus, sex in a biblical worldview context? Yes please!! Angela never thought she would be helping peopl "have good sex." But boy are we glad she did! "I help people increase the non-sexual intimacy in their marriage and that makes the sexual intimacy go through the roof! With my Patreon you can learn how to do all the spicy things you've ever dreamed of. With my Marriage PLAYdate you can increase your sexual intimacy in a single date night.

How to feel okay even when things AREN'T perfect (00:13:36)
As we dive into 2024 and we all know that goal setting and resolution planning are EVERYWHERE we look, I know that I struggle to set goals while accepting where I am at and who I am in this season. I want to encourage you to accept yourself right where you are and see the power that comes from that acceptance WHILE setting goals and aspiring to be better. God created you for a purpose and while sin and pain have changed that, you are able through His grace and love to accept yourself as His creation AND become who He created you to be. This episode talks about us showing up and facing our fears so that we can find balance- not just focus on what we are afraid of. Here's to 2024 being a year filled with true joy in us showing up as ourselves and moving towards who God created us to be!
