Summary: Incredible weight loss, the start of our foster care journey, business failure, launching a coaching program… needless to say, this year has been a BIG year for me! What I love about 2019 is how I’ve been able to celebrate so many victories and also achieve some big, scary goals. But what’s been just as amazing for me is learning what it means to allow my goals to CHANGE in order for God to write an even better story. Today I want to answer the question, how do we chase after and achieve our goals and dreams? And what do we do in the face of failure or if it appears as though God has different plans in mind? My hope is that this episode is able to inspire and fuel you in the middle of whatever journey you are on — or that it gives you the push you need to take those first baby steps as you embark on a new one! You may be familiar with Audrey Bailey through Brush and Barley, her digital artwork brand. For today’s episode, I had the honor of chatting with Audrey about her creative journey and work with Brush and Barley, as well as the backstory behind her overnight Instagram success! It was so fun getting to hear some of the ups and downs of being an “Insta-famous” work-from-home mom, as well as more about her heart behind what she does. You are sure to be encouraged and inspired by Audrey as she shares both her passion for her work AND her faith that’s so intertwined with it! In today’s episode, Audrey and I chat about: - the heart and backstory behind her brand Brush and Burley and how life has changed for her since its explosion on Instagram - how Brush and Barley is reaching people and addressing the topic of mental health - Audrey’s faith journey as it relates to her creative journey - what it was like for her to watch her Instagram following quickly grow by tens of thousands and what she has learned from it - being an Enneagram Four as it relates to motherhood - encouragement for the listener who is pursuing her passion and not seeing the growth she is hoping for - being a work-at-home mom and making time to take care of yourself in the midst of busyness - dealing with constructive criticism Resources Mentioned: Brush and Barley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brushandbarley/ Brush and Barley on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brushandbarley/ Brush and Barley Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEGJjh_z5UDRqMhVX2kJYjw Brush and Barley Website: https://www.brushandbarley.com/ Get my FREE 10 Declarations for the Anxious Mama, your go-to guide for taking your anxious thoughts captive and replacing them with CONFIDENCE and PEACE: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/declarations Learn more about my Mom Empowered coaching program and how I empower moms with the mindset + strategy to ditch their anger and break free from anxiety: http://www.soulcareforthenewmom.com/coaching I want to hear from you!
