Motivation, Inspiration, from The Space Between with Sean McClellan

I got a chance to catch up with my sister in Christ, and podcaster extraordinaire Ellen Kimball! No one enjoys being off-balance. As a midlife, divorced, and empty nest mom, Ellen has experienced many “hurricanes” of life teetering on the verge of failure and chaos and wanting to regain balance. From battling weight and health issues, a failed marriage, to losing her job and having to sell her hom...

Who are you, and who were you meant to be?  Are you where you want to be right now in this life?  If not, then you need to start making some changes!  Do you even have a vision for your life?  Maybe you have a big dream?  Take a shot!!!  The beauty is in the process, and their is always room for improvement!  You will need to sacrifice some things in your life moving the needle forward! Most peopl...

Grace!  What do you know about that word?  We cant get through this life without Gods grace!  We cant do it on our own, and trust me, I’ve tried!  The enemy is real and he is waiting to devour you, and your family.  He comes to us in the sounds of our own voice. His native language is lying, and he has been doing this long before we have been alive.  Temptation will be a part of your life fo...

My oldest daughter is now headed to middle school, and she got off the bus on Friday with nothing but her sad face.  She has been with the same kids for the last 6 years and most of them will be going to different schools next year.,  We have enrolled her at Metrolina Christian Academy which is connected to our Church.  I tried to remind her that people will be in your life for certain seasons, an...

I talk about my schedule getting shifted since school has ended and how it has kind of thrown me a for a loop. i can have bad days just like anyone else, but I am at least aware enough to not hit record when those days come about.  We had a coaching call on Wednesday and it was a great reminder that was truly necessary as to why we do what we do.  We got asked who inspires us, when do we feel most...

The FEAR of rejection will stop you in your tracks from doing the thing you need to do.  I dropped my daughter off for volleyball camp and I could see the fear on her face of all the older kids kind of hanging out who have been in the program before.  I used to not have any confidence or self esteem when I was younger just like her.  The fear of rejection by any group of people can be so debilitat...

We just had a lesson for my Every Man  A Warrior Bible study titled making your life count.  I just kept thinking about that statement.  For me, its about making an impact in somebody else’s life.  You are not making your life count by going to a job that you cant  stand.  You are probably working just hard enough to stay there, and they are paying you just enough to stay.  When you decide t...

I have been sick for the last 24hrs and had some sort of fever and body aches.  Took a personal day and just kinda laid around and watched a movie titled Greater.  The movie was about a football player named Brandon Burlsworth.   It was a great story about a kid with a dream and how he did  everything in his life to make that dream come true.   I couldn’t help but think of this bible verse w...

The opinions of other people will always come into play when you put yourself out there.  I posted something other day when I posted somethin about something I saw.  I was immediately attacked by so many people with negative comments.  I took the post down, but it was very comical to me that I had so much engagement from this negative posts..  I find it interesting that I post this podcast everyda...

I finally talk about my last pillar which is the most important to me for a multitude of reasons.  FREEDOM! I talk to a friend who got let go from his job and he was completely blindsided.  When you are so dependent on a job to survive you are trapped.  There is no security in having a job and all are expendable. Why would you continue to conform to a belief system that is not in alignment with yo...

I talk about taking my youngest daughter for a hike on Crowders Mountain for her 8th birthday. After that we took her to see the movie IF for her birthday and it wasn’t really a kids movie in my honest opinion, but there was a great message there within.   The first line of the movie said the most important story we tell is the one we tell ourselves.  I began to start thinking about the word...

Discuss my trip with my youngest daughter who is turning 8 tomorrow.  I will be taking her to Crowders Mountain here for the first time!  I will be taking her on the strenuous trail on purpose so I can give her some wisdom about how life is gonna be sometimes.  You will often feel like you are going up hill and you will never know when you are gonna reach the top, but you must keep moving.  As I w...

My mom was having some mold issues underneath her house, and after receiving multiple estimates finally found an honest appraiser.  Its funny to me that the price range went from 13K down to $1400.00 to correct the same problem.   The company she chose discovered that their was a flower that had grown in complete damp, and darkness.  She removed it and is now taking care of it.  I instantly though...

Change the period to a comma in your life!  When you feel like you can’t achieve any more and seem to be very stagnant you might have put a period to your thinking.  We are only limited by the what we think about.  I looked at a prayer request board at the gym, and people are hurting right now in this world. You have a purpose and calling here! Put a comma with those thoughts and start to re...

What you call small has everything to do with what YOU have seen BEFORE!  How are you feeling today?  Do you feel inadequate?  It all starts with you BS!  Your Belief System!  Who told you that you cant achieve your dreams?   You got to get around people who are doing what you want to do so you can learn! I wanted to see things at a different level so I had to pay the cost!  It cost my money, time...

Talked with a friend of mine who loves to travel, and I asked him why?  He said that one day he might not be able to travel and the next day wont come one day. If we all knew the day and hr of our last breath we would live our life a completely different way!  This journey of podcasting has been all about self discovery for myself.  Do you think you have a message you have inside to share with the...

You owe it to yourself to pursue your dreams.  I was talking to a friend who loves to travel a lot, and I asked him why!  He said one day I wont be able too, and my time here will be over.  We don’t know they day and hr of our departure here on this planet.  Are you someone who has a message, and wants to blast it out to the world?  When you realize that their will never be a good time for y...

I talk about an exercise that took place on our mastermind call.  The power of the 5 Whys. Coach Caryl was able to allow us to take a deep dive and start asking some serious questions about why anyone would want a podcast, and why that matters.  Most people want to be heard, and perhaps you feel that you don’t have a voice with the current people you are associating with.  Start going throug...

Been listening to an audio book by Viktor Frankel, Mans search for meaning.  Mans purpose for meaning is his primary motivation not a secondary rationalization. Wow!  if your whole existence is to figure out why you are here, then what are you doing to search that out for your own life?   Everybody at some point in their life will come to a point when you start to seek out purpose and significance...

You are going to suffer when you decide to take your shot!  Suffering, Service, Sacrifice, and Satisfaction will all come into play when you decide to step out of your comfort zone and go for your dreams.   You will need to start protecting your time to ensure you can move the needle forward every day.   I think you have to be a little crazy to go for your dream, and nobody else will really unders...

The one thing that’s going to stop you from going for your dream is YOU!  If you are stuck, what are you doing about it?  Complaining, hanging around people who are preventing you from stepping into your greatness.  Blaming other people for your circumstances?  Make a list of why you have not started to pursue  your dreams and let me know where your name lands on that list?  The choice is up...

I talk about spending Mothers day with my family and how much my Mom has influenced me in my life, and on my journey! I am very fortunate to have had my mother in my life for all my years.  She is the one who instilled God and my faith into my life and I owe her more than I could ever repay her.  Mom really always does know what’s best.  My mother has always been there for me and showed me w...
