Consistency & Patience: Trust the Process

It's easy to feel discouraged when it looks like everyone around you is moving faster, achieving more, or reaching milestones you've been praying for.

But someone else's quick win doesn't mean you're behind.

Someone else's success doesn't mean you've failed.

And someone else's harvest doesn't mean your seed isn't growing.

In this week's episode of The Striving Butterfly, we're talking about consistency, patience, trusting God's timing, and resisting the temptation to compare your journey to someone else's.

This episode includes 10 affirmations designed to help you stay focused, remain faithful, and continue showing up even when the results aren't immediate.

Scripture:

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:9

Welcome to a new week and a brand-new month. As we step into June, this week’s affirmations are centred around being more intentional, regaining consistency, and staying committed without compromising our character.

Sometimes the goal is not just to keep going, but to keep going in a way that still honours who we are, what we value, and who God has called us to be. This episode is a reminder that you can be disciplined without becoming hard, focused without losing your peace, and consistent without compromising your integrity.

These affirmations are for anyone rebuilding, refocusing, or stepping into June with a desire to show up with more purpose, faith, and character.

In this episode, we speak affirmations over:

• Being intentional with your time, energy, words, and decisions
• Choosing consistency without pressure
• Protecting your peace and character
• Rebuilding slowly, honestly, and faithfully
• Staying aligned with purpose, not approval

Let this be your reminder that you do not have to lose yourself to grow. You can start again, remain consistent, and still protect your heart.

Subscribe, follow, and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement as they step into a new month.

"I am not everyone's cup of tea, and that's what makes me unique." This powerful declaration sets the tone for a transformative episode of the Striving Butterfly podcast, where host Coleen shares ten soul-nourishing affirmations designed to carry you through your week with renewed confidence and self-compassion.

Embrace your uniqueness, recognise your inherent worth, and move forward in your journey of transformation with confidence and self-compassion.

1. "I am not everyone's cup of tea, and that's what makes me unique"
2. "I am not behind, I am exactly where I need to be"
3. "I don't hustle for worth, I walk in it"
4. "I leave fragments of my old self in yesterday. Today I show up whole"
5. "My voice matters. My story carries healing"
6. "I embrace who I'm becoming and release who I no longer need to be"
7. "I don't chase peace, quiet or stillness, I host it"
8. "The doors God opens for me don't need permission to stay open"
9. "Even in silence, I am being strengthened. Quiet doesn't mean quitting"
10. "I am both the answered prayer and the one who prayed it"

These affirmations address the struggles we face on our growth journeys—feeling behind, chasing validation, and struggling to embrace our authentic selves. Coleen offers listeners permission to stand firmly in their inherent value while gracefully evolving into their next chapter.

Be your own cheerleader. Don't forget to clap for yourself, celebrate yourself, love on yourself and do it for yourself.

In this episode of Striving Butterfly, we explore the powerful difference between boundaries and protecting your capacity — and how learning to honour both can bring lasting clarity and direction in your life.

From training for the London Marathon, preparing for a trip to Africa, and planning the ORE Women’s Conference, I’ve learned that just having boundaries isn’t enough. You also need to be honest about what you actually have to give.

We cover:

• What boundaries and capacity really are
• How to manage both without guilt
• 5 practical steps to apply today
• Why slowing down isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom
• A scriptural foundation to help you stay rooted and clear

Scripture: Proverbs 4:23 – “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really looks like to rebuild inner safety — especially after experiencing disappointment, betrayal, or seasons where you stopped trusting yourself.

Whether you’ve questioned your decisions, felt overwhelmed by life changes, or lost faith in your ability to make the right moves, this conversation is for you.

I’ll be sharing personal reflections from this season of life, including:

• Returning to the podcast after a break
• Training for the London Marathon while emotionally stretched
• Balancing life, work, and self-doubt
• Feeling the weight of trying to hold it all together silently

We’ll explore:

• What inner safety is and why it matters
• How trust with yourself can be rebuilt — slowly, but surely
• The power of consistency, small actions, and grace
• Why shame and self-blame keep us stuck, and how to move beyond them

Scripture for encouragement:
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” – Psalm 46:1

Shame has a way of convincing us that we’re flawed beyond repair, but it’s simply a lie that thrives in silence. In this deeply personal episode of Striving Butterfly, I share my experience of becoming single in my 40s after ending a significant relationship—and the shame that followed. From questioning my worth to feeling like I failed my daughter, I unpack five types of shame we all encounter: relational, societal, career, family, and friendship shame.

But shame doesn’t get the final say. Through honest reflection, I explore how we can name our shame, bring it into the light, and reframe the stories we tell ourselves. With Isaiah 61:7 as a reminder of God’s promise of restoration, this episode offers hope, encouragement, and practical steps toward freedom. You are not your shame. Your story is still unfolding.

This podcast isn’t just about me—it’s about us. Your journey matters. I want to hear your questions, your thoughts, your experiences. We’re in this together, and I believe in collective victory.

💛 Ready to spread your wings? Life may have clipped them, but together, we’ll help them grow back—stronger and brighter than before. Let’s strive, shine, and soar higher than we ever thought possible!
