0:00.0	A lot of the times where I felt anxious or depressed or like waking up in the middle of the night or something is off.
0:05.4	I believe there's something from God that we are meant to be doing, saying, sharing that we're ignoring.
0:11.3	So many times when we're battling with that anxiety, we're not aligned with our purpose.
0:15.7	And maybe we're not feeling authentic in what we're sharing online or what we're doing in our business or even in our
0:21.6	relationships. Maybe there's a version of us that is just desperate to be free.
0:32.3	Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Earn Your Happy podcast. I love this episode today because it is
0:37.3	with a friend of
0:37.9	mine who I've known for a really long time who's also worked with me on some really awesome
0:43.2	projects and I'll share that in a minute. But if you know that you are meant for more in your life,

1:27.7	stories into a message that attracts the right people, the long game strategy behind podcasts
1:32.4	and content that quietly builds a brand and network and tangible ways to design experiences
1:37.5	digital or in real life that your audiences can't help but share. We're also going to go there
1:43.1	on the real stuff, you guys, the seasons of hustling with
1:46.1	nothing happening, investing before the money shows up, editing your own reels when it matters,
1:51.4	and rebuilding faith when you feel like you're not getting answers you've been praying
