Faith and Growth

 I asked ChatGPT what is the question that most people privately ask about relationships. And the answer stopped me completely.   By far, the most common question is this: why do I feel so lonely even though I am married?   And maybe you would add, even though I love my spouse. Even though I know my spouse loves me.   If that is you, I want you to hear this before we go any further. You are not br...

This morning someone sent me a message that stopped me in my tracks.   She said, I have everything I desire in life except love. Am I supposed to stay alone forever? I have so much love to give. Does that mean I should just settle?   And I caught myself telling her exactly what I want to tell you today.   You are just in the messy middle. You have not arrived. The fact that you are going through t...

Do you feel like no matter what you do, no matter how much you work and how patient you are, you are not getting the outcomes and results you have been working for? The money is not there. The relationship is not healed. The health is not shifting. The dream is still just a dream. Hello, my name is Betsy Guerra and I have never once been able to control my outcomes. And I have tried. Hard. I am th...

It was the last session of the semester inside the Faith Based Coaching Academy. My student Mighty was sharing her journey, where she had started, how far she had come, and all the possibilities that had opened up to her that she could not have imagined when she first arrived. And then she said this phrase, which I am convinced she borrowed from someone extraordinary, because it stopped me complet...

My mom used to say, especially to the men in our family who could never find anything when you asked them to look for it, el que lo busca, lo encuentra. In English: the person who looks for it will find it.   There is a lifetime of wisdom in that little phrase. And today I want to give it to you.   Because here is the truth that psychology and Scripture both confirm. You will always find evidence...

We need to talk about money. Not in a financial planning kind of way. Not in a hustle harder kind of way. In a psycho-spiritual kind of way, because that is the only conversation about money that I believe actually gets to the root. Today I am going to help you diagnose your money problem, understand exactly why you have the relationship with abundance that you have, and then give you three practi...

The night after Fofi passed, I found myself on the bathroom floor in fetal position, rocking back and forth, wanting to rip my own head off. Wanting to disappear. Wanting to lose contact with reality because reality was too hard to bear. I want to be honest with you about that because you need to know that I know what it feels like to be in the pit. And I also need you to know that experiencing pa...

Today is my daughter Mia's birthday. May 19. My rainbow baby. And I went into my computer to find the story of how I found out she was coming, because I wanted to share it with you. What I found instead brought me to tears. Searching for the word rainbow in my manuscript took me back to the very beginning of the story. To the last Sunday I took Fofi to Mass before she passed. To the moment our...

A few weeks ago one of my students wrote in our FBCA WhatsApp group asking for support. She had just found out that one of her best friends had received a very serious diagnosis. She was devastated. She said, I cannot support my friend right now because of how I am feeling.   Here is the thing. This student of mine has faced a serious diagnosis herself, not once, not twice, but three times in five...

I am one of four kids. My oldest sister has severe special needs and needed a lot from my parents. My brother came next and gave them a serious run for their money. By the time they got to me, they were tired.   And so I learned, very early in life, to earn my place.   I got straight A's. I ironed my father's shirts. I became the star student of the month so that my parents would take time...

You are the creator and producer of your life movie. And today I am going to teach you exactly how to direct it. Most of us have been taught that the path to the life we want looks like this: first you HAVE the thing, then you DO what people who have that thing do, and then finally you get to BE happy, free, successful, loved, fulfilled.   Have. Do. Be.   And I spent years living that way, waiting...

It was the middle of the night. My husband was traveling. I was alone with the kids, and I woke up to the loudest noise. My heart was pounding. Adrenaline spiking. I was already mentally planning how to grab all three kids and escape out a window before whoever was in my house could get to us.   Except… nobody was in my house.   It was the ice maker. 😅   And that story? It's the perfect pictu...

This episode is different. And honestly? A little scary for me to share.   I'm not teaching today. I'm not giving you a framework or a tool or a five-step strategy. Instead, I'm sitting down with you and sharing something much more personal, my private truths.   "Private truths" is a concept I borrowed from my coach Amy Porterfield. She asked me to think about the things my i...

You, my friend, are assigned to others who are praying for you. And every time you procrastinate your calling, they have to wait.   I want to tell you about the time I showed up to the Summit of Greatness, Lewis Howes' iconic personal development event, two days in a row. Hair done. Heels packed. Keynote outfit ready. I had emailed, cold-guessed email addresses, asked my coach to put in a word...

Why do women push through childbirth, the most painful experience known to humanity? Why does a janitor mop floors with love and light, or a baker stay up sweating over a kitchen to bring a family together? The answer is the same for all of them: purpose. And today, I am going to show you why yours is already inside you.   Free Purpose Workshop! Go to https://faithbasedcoachingacademy.com/purpose/...

What if you lived every single day as if it were your last, not from fear, but from gratitude? I need to tell you something that I say all the time that makes people look at me like I have three heads. "I can die now." I know, I know. Hear me out. Every time I accomplish something that really mattered to me, something I deeply wanted to experience with my family, something I felt called...

Have you ever thought, "I don't need help, I can figure this out on my own"? What if that belief is the very thing keeping you from the greatness God created you for? In this episode, I'm answering a question from a recent speaking engagement that stopped me in my tracks, because the truth is, more people than we think are still holding back from receiving the support that could...

I sat down with Angel Fernández, also known as Max Lewis, for a conversation about entrepreneurship, leadership, and the mindset required to grow beyond your environment. Angel shares what it was like growing up working from a young age. Selling mangoes. Washing cars. Learning responsibility early. Figuring things out without a clear roadmap. He speaks openly about building confidence through acti...

Are you tired of rushing through life like a "chicken without a head," waiting for the chaos to end before you can finally find peace? In this episode, I dive deep into the transformative power of intention, a divine decision made in union with God that allows you to change your entire experience without needing your external circumstances to shift at all. I share a personal story from N...

I am terrified to share this episode. For the first time, I’m not speaking from a scar, I’m speaking from the wound. In this raw and deeply vulnerable conversation, I open up about what it feels like to be in the messy middle of life: when your business isn’t producing the outcomes you hoped for, when your bank account feels tight, when your marriage feels tender, and when joy feels quieter than u...

There comes a moment in life when pushing harder stops working. When the strategies that once got results start feeling heavy. When decisions that look “right” on paper don’t bring peace. When success exists, but alignment doesn’t. This conversation with Alex Pardo is for anyone who has ever wondered whether they’re building something with God… or just asking Him to bless what they’ve already deci...

Hay historias que no empiezan con privilegios, ni con caminos fáciles. Empiezan con disciplina, con silencio, con carácter… y con una fe que se va formando poco a poco. En esta conversación conocemos el corazón detrás de Verlaine Gonzalez , más allá del personaje de las redes redes… desde el niño que empezó a entrenar a los ocho años en Cuba, al adolescente que aprendió constancia sin distraccione...

Are you constantly reaching for your phone the moment you feel bored, uncomfortable, or overwhelmed? In this episode, I share a powerful conversation about our collective addiction to phones, social media, and constant stimulation and how it’s silently disconnecting us from ourselves, our relationships, and God. We explore the psychology behind dopamine, why scrolling is so addictive, and how stil...

In this episode, I share a faith-based perspective on manifesting that goes beyond visualization and positive thinking. We talk about how true manifestation happens when surrender, obedience, faith, and alignment with God come first. This conversation will help you und...
