Have you ever struggled to find your purpose? If you've doubted your potential or wrestled with discovering the reason for your life, today's podcast reveals how every heart can grasp their God-given purpose.
A Professional Certified Life Coach, Life Purpose Coach®, Recovery Coach, and Grief-loss Coach, Darlene Larson passionately coaches women that are harried, hurting, and hungry, guiding them to the freedom that discovering their life purpose brings. As founder of Hearts with a Purpose, https://heartswithapurpose.com/ Darlene coaches women around the world.
Darlene shares her testimony of facing hopelessness and suicidality after the death of two family members and decades of an emotionally abusive marriage. She highlights the turning point when she rose from pain and victim mentality to pursue a life of purpose.
We discuss how to starve the negative scripts we speak to ourselves such as "I'm not good enough" or "I can't." Darlene shares Scriptures to guide us from hopelessness into fulfillment.
Darlene highlights the value of community and learning, emphasizing a growth-centered mindset. We explore how to overcome fear, shame, and the emotional wounds inflicted during years of abuse. Darlene encourages others through her story of walking away from the bondage of shame and learning instead to respond in a spirit of love.
We examine the layered nature of the healing journey. Darlene notes how she continued to seek life coaching after years of counseling. We discuss the importance and value of life coaching as an ongoing resource of support. Darlene also mentions the helpfulness of groups like Divorce Care and Grief Share.
Darlene emphasizes how important it is to reject shame-based content and advice. We agree how filtering your input remains vital throughout the healing journey and beyond.
Darlene advises listeners to stay moldable, trust God with your story, seek wise counsel and coaching, keep believing the truth that God has more for you in store, and make sure your best YESes are aligned with God's perfect purpose for your life.
We define the term "victim mentality" and discuss how to move out of this stagnation into reclaiming power and activating growth.
