What happens when a story you've repeated for years begins to sound like your identity?

In this week's experience, I'm walking with awareness and becoming curious about the language I've allowed to identify me.

There were seasons when the stories I told myself sounded like:

I'm not smart enough.
I'm too young.
I'm afraid.
I'm not happy with how I look.

Those feelings and experiences were real. But TUHDAY, I'm becoming aware of the difference between what I experienced, the story I created from it, and who I said I AM.

This experience invited me to assess the stories, labels, and scripts I've carried—and to notice the Maria who once believed them with understanding rather than criticism.

My I AM statement from this experience is:

As you experience this episode, I invite you to create space for your own self-assessment and discovery.

Nourish your mind.
Honor your heart.
Grow with intention. 🌱

Have a Happy Monday and a flourishing week!

I AM aware of the language I allow to identify me. 🌱

As August comes to a close, I'm not simply asking what happened this month.

I'm asking:

What has this month revealed within me that is worth carrying forward?

Throughout August, we've explored awareness, identity, language, assessment, and intention. As we prepare to enter September, this episode is an invitation to pause and reflect on the discoveries that deserve to continue shaping who we are becoming.

Together we'll explore:

🌱 What discoveries are worth carrying forward

💛 Why carrying forward doesn't always mean adding more

🪞 How awareness becomes intention

✍🏾 A guided journal prompt for entering a new season

✨ This week's I AM Statement:

I AM intentional about what I carry forward.

Before we begin, take a moment to pause, breathe, and meet yourself again.

This is your space.

What happens when something we are experiencing begins to sound like something we are?

Fear can be present. Uncertainty can be present. We can acknowledge what we're feeling and be honest about what we're experiencing. But as I continue rediscovering my identity, I've become more aware of the language I allow to follow the words “I AM.”

In this week's The Experience of I AM, we're exploring the difference between what we experience and how we identify ourselves.

Fear may ask for a moment—but does its presence automatically get permission to define our identity?

This week, we're becoming curious about our language, noticing what our experiences may be revealing, and giving ourselves space to assess what we discover.

🪞 Reflection:
What am I allowing to speak after “I AM”?

✍🏾 Journal Prompt:
What have I been identifying as who I AM that may actually be something I'm experiencing?

💛 My I AM Statement:
I AM aware of the difference between what I experience and who I AM.

This September, we're continuing our journey of identity rediscovery by walking with greater awareness. 👣🌱

Nourish your mind.
Honor your heart.
Grow with intention.

Have a Happy Monday and a flourishing week! 💛

This week on The Experience of I AM, we explore Receiving Before Releasing and what happens when new awareness requires us to assess where we are.

Sometimes discovery reveals that we still need development. Other times, it reveals that something has already developed—and now we have to decide how we will respond.

We’ll talk about fear, unfamiliar territory, old language, receiving truth, and learning to show up while we are still becoming.

Our reflection question:

What does this new awareness require from me now?

And our journal prompt:

What truth am I receiving in this season, and how is it changing the language I use about myself?

Let truth have the final word. 💛

Welcome to The Experience of I AM. 🌿This week we continue our August series, Refining the Voice, by exploring the conversation happening within us every day.Before our words reach the world, they are first spoken within our own hearts and minds.

Welcome to The Experience of I AM. 💛

This month, we begin our August series:

🌿 Refining the Voice.

Every day, many voices compete for our attention.

Fear.
Comparison.
Shame.
Pressure.
Expectation.

But there is also truth...
Hope...
Grace...
Faith.

This week, we explore an important question:

Which voice am I agreeing with?

Because every thought asks for agreement...
Not every thought deserves it.

Together, we'll pause, reflect, journal, and declare this week's I AM Statement as we intentionally choose the voice of truth.

🌱 This Week's I AM Statement

I am aware of the voice I choose to believe.

🪞 Reflection Question

Which voice has been influencing me the most lately?

✍🏾 Journal Prompt

What truth do I need to intentionally agree with this week?

Remember...

The truth God is revealing within you holds power that a lie cannot take away.

💛 Nourish your mind.
💛 Honor your heart.
💛 Grow with intention.

Have a HAPPY MONDAY!! 🌱🥳

Week 3: Desire, Discipline, and Readiness

Sometimes we say we want growth.

Growth asks us to remain consistent.

Sometimes we say we want peace.

Peace asks us to protect what matters.

Sometimes we say we want purpose.

Purpose asks us to prepare.

And sometimes we say we are ready for what is next…

But readiness is often formed long before the opportunity arrives.

In this week’s episode of The Experience of I AM, we explore how desire, discipline, and consistency work together to prepare us for the opportunities we’ve been praying for.

Because opportunity doesn’t only meet desire.

Opportunity recognizes readiness.

✨ In this episode you’ll reflect on:
• Why desire alone isn’t enough
• How consistency prepares us for what’s next
• The quiet habits that shape who we are becoming
• A reflection question and journal prompt to encourage intentional growth

🪞 Reflection Question:Where does my desire need to agree more deeply with my discipline?

✍🏾 Journal Prompt:This week, I will prepare for what I am asking for by consistently showing up in this way…

Remember…

Desire speaks.Discipline responds.Readiness is recognized.

💛 Nourish your mind.
💛 Honor your heart.
💛 Grow with intention.
