Do you have any life-changing decisions coming up? We’ve all had moments in our lives where we’ve been at a crossroad. Leave a job to start something new or stay where you are? Sell your home or upgrade? In this episode, Kristina speaks to James Flanagan, Executive Director of Catholic World Mission, a non-profit organization who seeks to bridge the gap between donors and partners to uplift those in spiritual and material poverty. James shares his story and how his prayer life and nudging from the Holy Spirit (and others!) helped him discern several life-changing decisions and has brought him to where he is today!  Enjoy a great conversation and take away some fantastic tidbits that you can integrate into your own life! 

To learn more about Catholic World Mission and how you can support them, go to catholicworldmission.org. Keep their mission and all those who support that mission in your prayers!

Suffering doesn’t sound like a lot of fun, but as Christians, we’re called to pick our cross and join Jesus. A question that many people ask, myself included, is how do I know if I’m suffering for good or for evil? In this episode I talk about three questions to help with discernment as well as what you can do to help your mindset when you’re scared to walk away from the suffering you know and pick up the cross that God intended you to carry.

There is one thing that gets in every leader’s way when it comes to getting the most from their team: that’s wounds. We all have them, but if we want to lead well, we need to identify and heal them. One way of doing that is to work on and pray for the opposing virtue. In this episode, Kristina talks with Rose Folsom, a Catholic Prayer Coach and found of Virtue Connection. They clarify what virtues are and what they are not. Specifically, they dig into the number one virtue that all leaders need to develop…and it might surprise you!

If you’d like to dig deeper into growing your virtues, reach out to Rose at https://virtueconnection.com/

Don’t forget to register for Rose’s upcoming Virtuous Growth Business Summit! This is a free online summit for faith-focused entrepreneurs! The focus is “How to Grow a Profitable Business without Losing Your Integrity & Peace.

What would life be like if work was a place of healing rather than a place of hurting and wounding? We spend so much of our lives at work, that the culture of our workplace can impact all aspects of our lives, good or bad. Creating a positive workplace culture can create a culture that heals rather than hurts. In this episode, Kristina will discuss how work can AND SHOULD heal us and how you can start healing in your workplace.
