Deflection often arises from a fear of facing uncomfortable situations, such as feelings of shame, embarrassment, or failure. As a pro wrestler, I’ve found myself avoiding confrontations, especially after a performance where things didn’t go as planned.

This shift in mindset helped me overcome my fear and move forward with confidence. The next time you feel the urge to deflect, take a moment to confront the discomfort, prepare for what could go wrong, and move forward with a solid plan.

From Guilt to Glory: Rediscovering Yourself While Nurturing Your Family

Leave a Comment / Family /

As a wife and mother of three, I understand how easy it is to pour all your energy into your family, often leaving little room for your own dreams. Nurturing our families is vital, but it doesn’t have to be our only role. Rediscovering who you are beyond your roles as a wife and mother allows you to embrace your own passions and ambitions. By honoring your dreams, you not only model self-worth for your family but also create a life that feels fulfilled and purposeful.

When I embarked on this journey of rediscovery, I faced feelings of guilt and doubt. I questioned whether I could truly balance being a great wife, mother, and pursuing my own goals. But I decided to do it anyway. Today, my passion for motivational speaking has come to life, inspiring other women to believe in themselves and face their fears. The result? Not only have I become a more fulfilled person, but my family has grown closer, and we’ve made priceless memories together. Reigniting your dreams can transform your life and strengthen your family bond. It’s never too late to chase what’s possible for you.

Editor's Corner /

Marriage, as designed by God, is meant to reflect the profound relationship between Christ and the church. It serves as a mirror, helping us see both the beauty and flaws within ourselves through the eyes of our spouse. In the unity and intimacy of marriage, we are challenged to embrace reflection rather than deflection. By accepting our spouse’s input and recognizing them as a powerful resource for growth, we learn to adjust, improve, and strengthen our relationship. Though uncomfortable at times, this process of self-awareness and change is essential to deepening our connection and fostering a healthier, more resilient marriage.
