Send us a text Welcome back to the Serenity in Motion Podcast!

Send us a text Disclaimer: MettlEdge is a professional coaching company. While I have a personal belief system, when I coach I do not lead my clients to embrace my belief system. My job is to challenge them to align with their own personal values and beliefs. In my podcast episodes, especially this series, I openly share my faith in Jesus and my shared thoughts will often align with my beliefs.  I...

Send us a text Our origin gives us our identity. We are God’s creation, not our own. We belong to God. Our identity is anchored in him. Yet just because we are all children of God, we are not all the same. Each of us is created with a unique, God-given design. We are all originals. This is fascinating.  What is even more fascinating is that when we train up our minds to fan our distinctiveness int...

Send us a text I was talking with a friend close to ten years ago and we came to the realization that our cognitive and emotional default rarely, if ever, seems to be the peace we have in Christ. This may be quite obvious to you, but for us, we were stopped by the realization. Naturally, we seem much like the snickers bar commercial before the snickers. That is, irritable, defensive, anxious. Thin...

Send us a text In the previous episode, I ended on the topic that we know that distancing ourselves from our feelings helps us process through them.  And we can use this truth and others to train up our emotional intelligence, giving us an emotional maturity that willfully enters in before emotions hijack. We can use such training to choose to shift our emotional states or stay in them. If we know...

Send us a text If our emotions assign value and we aren’t feeling, we are not generating value propositions upon which we have choice. We must first, then, be aware we are feeling anything at all – this opens us up to choose based on the message being sent by the emotion. Emotions are messengers. I learned this from from Mike Davis. He is known as the Emotional Success Coach and I found him in my...

Send us a text Welcome to the Serenity in Motion podcast and this new 10-part series starting today called Resting In The Arms of the One Who Disarmed You. It’s no secret that I am a Jesus follower. I wrote this podcast series in 2019. It’s about rest. Not about sleep, or relaxation. Not meditation. But stillness. Peace. On the inside. It’s really about how we lead based on how we show up. And I g...

Send us a text Welcome to the Serenity in Motion podcast. I’m Jill Williams and we are on the third of four episodes in our current series “what do you meme?”.I’m talking through what I mean…or meme…by a phrase I use to describe the kind of thing that happens for you when you enroll in our memberships.

Send us a text Hello again! Time for the second episode of our current series “what do you meme?”.This time I’m going to share more about what I meme—or mean—by shaping a strong sense of self. There is a lot that comes to mind when somebody says the word self.  I have no intention of getting into that deep well. I do not have a PhD in psychology, psychiatry, or even sociology. I don’t have a PhD i...

Send us a text I was talking about the topic for the series this morning in the kitchen and my daughter gave me this title because I’m going to spend these next four weeks talking about what I mean by shaping a strong sense of self, belonging, and purpose. She immediately had the idea to call it what do you meme and showed me how I could create a meme for each episode….so that’s what I’m doing. Be...

Send us a text Today we’re diving into the reflection of the let there be strength frame, the fourth frame, let there be limits. We all want to be loved and to make a difference. And many of us believe our limits limit our lovability and our value. I believe very few of us can separate ourselves from how others see us without an internal battle to not measure our value against another standard. Ma...

Send us a text Times have changed. The standard for effective leadership has changed. We are living with a generation of people who no longer put up with task-driven, results-only authoritarian leadership. We live in a generation of people who demand to be acknowledged. Technology in part drives this demand. Likes. Follows. Go live. Go viral. Get seen. Get paid. Playing fields are leveled. Access...

Send us a text While you cannot control the disturbances or distractions that come at you daily, you can control your response to them. This is the outcome of a proactive mindset. A proactive mindset positions you to pre-decide you will be open to creatively find a way to keep growing in the face of tension. Remember, to keep growing, or to mature, requires two things of us. It requires that we in...

Send us a text Do you ever wonder why it can be so difficult to do the things you want to do, even when you are aware they are the things you want? Yet you still struggle to do them? How many times have you given up on an idea? On yourself? On becoming the everything you were made to be? Maybe you started going after a goal and didn’t tell anyone so no one would know just how much effort you put i...
