7.4 This is Your Sign to Start Delegating
It's so easy to be busy but much harder to be productive. In my experience, part of the problem is that instead of delegating certain tasks, we take everything on and get very little accomplished. But what if we flipped the script and decided to only focus on tasks that propel us forward in our purpose?
This is NOT a rallying cry to dump out all your laundry on the floor and yell "GET SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO IT!" But it is a call to be more intentional and consider ho sowme of the tasks on your docket ended up on there to begin with.
If you're ready to operate more purposefully tune into today's episode friend.

[Let’s Check in] Quarterly Goals + Honest Moment

7.3 How to Plan For Your Week

7.2 The Difference Between Purpose and Performance
Lately I’ve been feeling the pressure to perform but what a recent event showed me is that purpose doesn’t feel like a performance. It feels like a natural extension of who God has created you to be. If you’ve been struggling to know the difference tune into this episode. I hope it’s helpful for you friend! Philippians 1:6 - And I am confident that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

6.9 When God Enlarges Your Territory with Ebony King
Ebony's formal bio:
Ebony King is the founder and visionary behind Tabitha's TEA Party, a nonprofit that empowers women to GET UP from dead places. They host Bible studies through TEA Parties and annual conferences to help women connect, create, and draw closer to their God-given identity. Tabitha's TEA Party is named after a female disciple in the book of Acts who was known for doing good and helping the poor. Through her story, we learn that she died and was raised from death by prayer. She is an example that God can get you up from anything, and he can help you find life even in the places you thought were dead. Ebony's testimony is a story of a girl who got up, which inspired her most recent book, Black Wings Still Fly. Black Wings Still Fly, for anyone who has ever felt their adversity was too heavy for them to rise.

6.2 Let’s Get These Goals [December 2022 Accountability]

6.1 Dream a New Dream
Welcome back to Season 6 of the Black Girls With Purpose Podcast! On today's episode we're kicking off the season with an explanation of why dreaming new dreams and going through different seasons of life is important. It can be extremely easy to go with the flow and just coast from one thing to the next but we ought to be intentional about pushing the limits in life if we're truly aiming to be a woman of purpose.
Dreaming can feel scary because eventually you have to get up and do the work to fulfill your dreams. Dreams also come with new levels of responsibility. But the work is worth it.
Scripture to remember: "And I am confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6
