Embracing the Journey | Letting Go, Moving On, Self Improvement, Discipleship, Calling
Are you seeking encouragement for your journey? Do you long to stop going in circles and to finally hear God’s voice and be consistent with his plan? Are you tired of stopping and starting again? Do you long to journey with others who just get it? No worries, sis. I’ve got you. Welcome to Embracing the Journey with Shell Odum where you will learn personal, profressional & spiritual growth tools through Biblical teachings, so you can transform your thinking and move forward - partnered with God every step of the way. Hi, I’m Shell - disciple of Christ, wife, Christian life coach and organizational consultant. Through the years I’ve tried really hard to find a linear path to follow that leads to fulfillment. What I’ve learned is that the journey is often taken on a windy road and that’s okay. As I learn to accept God’s invitation into intimacy he leads me into the life that I’ve always wanted! After experiencing divorce I finally stopped trying to finish a checklist and started seeking God for each next step according to his will. I went on a path of self-discovery, personal growth, with a ton of prayer and God’s grace along the way. I discovered how to partner with God to completely transform my life and relationships from the inside out, and I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned with you! If you’re ready to stop the self-sabotage keeping you stuck, learn proven strategies for personal growth, and discover an intimate and sustaining relationship with God that will help you move forward emotionally, professionally, and spiritually - this podcast is for you. Grab your journal. It’s time to get to work sis.

Figuratively when you someone refers to something being a double edged sword it refers to something that has both good and bad consequences and how you can't get one without the other. When you're using a double-edged sword, you have to be careful that you don't cut yourself when you're trying to swing it at an opponent. In her book forgivi...

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
