Here's a rundown of S01E02:

I’ve been struggling to use my voice for decades. This has been an ongoing internal battle that, only recently, have I been able to face my fears and trust that I’m being led forward.

In the second part of my story I start to talk about deeply personal events from last year that nearly broke me and had me call out for surrender.

Thank you so much for listening to part of my personal story today.  If you’re willing I want to hear part of yours.

  • Has God/Your Inner Knowing/Or A Higher Power ever whispered a message to you, urged you to create something or help someone?  
  • What fears get in the way of you doing what you know you were created to do?
  • If you could change your life by changing one belief you have about yourself (or that others have about you) what would that belief be?

I love hearing from you and would love to journey this path forward together.  

Reach out on IG @MyLightShinesBright or visit me at thislittlelightofmine.ca and check out our get involved section where you can find space to actually add your voice and share part of your story.

You are loved

James.
