In this episode, I share three spiritual lessons I learned in 2023. These were borne out of personal experiences, as opposed to books I read or sermons I heard.

People in the Christian community will agree that this has become a cliche. But we must take note of cliches because they are often heavy with truth. I share that God is faithful, which isn't just a nice or religiously correct thing to say; it is a statement of fact. We live in a world that is in a constant state of change, and the concept of immovability can be complex to grasp because we don't have many reference points.

Another cliche. His character is love- nothing you can do to diminish or increase His love for you. This lesson came to me while I was on holiday in Lagos, Nigeria. I was emotionally in the middle of a situation I believed I had earned rebuke and judgment for. But God did none of that. He loved me out of the pit.

When a leper approached Jesus to heal him, he said, "If you are willing". Jesus said I AM Willing. I AM wasn't referring to that moment in time but to Jesus's character. Jesus is always willing to help, bless, deliver, and move you forward.

Sometimes, the most challenging circumstances can pave the way for extraordinary opportunities. Join us on a remarkable episode of Living Inside Out with Lisa Raynes as we uncover her journey of transforming adversity into positive change and fostering a supportive environment for women in the architectural field.

As the year winds down, like you, no doubt, I am undoubtedly reflecting on 2024; the lessons I’ve learned and the thought patterns I’m intentionally leaving behind as I step into 2025. This episode is about the transformations that have shaped me this year and how I plan to embrace boldness, connection, and consistency in the new year.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1.Hesitant to Courageous:

•Overcoming self-consciousness and embracing bold action.

•How launching into public speaking helped me confront hesitation.

•“Self-restraint is more interested in your appearance than your progress.”

2.Guarded to Connected:

•The beauty of opening up to new friendships despite past betrayals.

•Stories of the wonderful people God brought into my life.

•“Removing fences caused by betrayal allowed blessings in the form of authentic relationships.”

3.Sporadic to Consistent:

•The power of doing what’s necessary, regardless of feelings or circumstances.

•Why consistency isn’t about waiting for evidence but trusting the process.

•“Consistency means keeping every appointment with yourself, even when it’s hard.”

‘Self-restraint is more interested in your appearance than your progress.’

This year has been quite a ride! I am grateful to you, my listeners and support for tirelessly listening and feeding back your thoughts. I hope you can take at least one thing away, that God’s faithfulness is unquestionable. He is resolute, does not waiver and is a solid rock.

Consider the thought patterns you want to replace as you reflect on your year. Remember that You have everything you need to be all God created you to be, and the evidence is in your desires. Step boldly into 2025 with courage, authenticity, and consistency. You’ve got this!

How often have you felt stuck, unable to make a business decision because your gut does not align with your logic?

The Practical vs. the Intuitive: Entrepreneurs often prioritise the practical and tangible aspects of business, which are undoubtedly essential. However, the gift of intuition, particularly prevalent in women, should not be overlooked.

The Challenge of Intuition: Intuition is a deeply personal experience arising from within our 'gut'. Unlike tangible skills, intuition cannot be taught or explained by others. Many individuals operate superficially, placing value solely on tangible and emotional experiences.

Developing Intuition in Business: To incorporate intuition into business practices, it's crucial to start small. Begin by acknowledging your intuitive capabilities and actively listening to them.

I am excited to announce our upcoming PR on a Shoestring Workshop.

One thing I can say after being in business for almost 20 years is that PR is essential. My business would not be where it is without PR. Having started with $75, I had no budget to pay an agency or pay for advertising. Yet, I ended up in national and international publications like Vogue, Hello!, Architectural Digest, The Telegraph., Times, Channel 4, ITV, BBC, and so many more. In this workshop, I will teach you all I know to get yourself into the media without having to pay thousands. Email [email protected] to register your interest, and we will add you to the list once we finalise the details.

Your Rock Star Story

Your story is waiting to be written. If you don't write it, someone will do so for you; pretty soon, it will become your narrative. Some of us are already living someone else's version of our story. End that today and purchase the Introduction to Your Rock Star Story course. This is a 2-hour video that allows you to work through the process at your own pace. My story took me from hiding to the TEDx stage. What I was once ashamed of became my calling card. And you can do the same for yourself today.
