Cultivating Your Yes: Moving From Acknowledgment to Accountability

In this episode of the Choosing Your Yes series, we explore the second step of the SHINE Method: Include the Lessons. This principle challenges us to reflect on our past decisions, embrace the lessons they’ve taught us, and use them to create an intentional, elevated, and aligned “yes.”
Through personal stories, faith-filled encouragement, and practical steps, you’ll learn how to move from simply acknowledging your past to taking accountability for your choices. This episode will empower you to cultivate a yes that aligns with your God-given purpose and helps you break free from unproductive cycles.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✨ Why people often fail to reflect on their past yeses—and how to break that pattern.
✨ The risks of ignoring lessons from your past decisions.
✨ How to move from acknowledgment to accountability by including your lessons.
✨ Practical strategies to cultivate an aligned yes through reflection, prayer, and intentionality.
Bold Declaration for This Episode:
“I am cultivating my yes. I approach this daily opportunity and challenge with grace, curiosity, and patience. I am empowered by God to choose my yes with care, while learning to improve my yes as I take my lessons with me. Today I boldly declare I am cultivating an elevated and aligned yes!”
This Week’s Challenge:
Take a “Lesson Audit” this week.
1. Write down three past yeses that didn’t align with your values or purpose.
2. Identify one key lesson from each decision.
3. Reflect on how you can apply those lessons to cultivate a more aligned yes moving forward.

Evaluating Your Yes: Moving From Auto Pilot to Intentional Living

Episode 1: Evaluating Your Yes: Moving from Auto-Pilot to Intentional Living
 
Welcome to the Bold Becomers Podcast!
In today’s episode, we’re kicking off our 4-part series, “Choosing Your Yes.” This first episode dives into how we can move from saying “yes” on auto-pilot to making intentional, God-aligned decisions that reflect who we’re becoming.
 
You’ll hear about a personal moment that changed everything for me—a seemingly ordinary walk with my 13-month-old daughter, CiCi, that became a powerful wake-up call. During that walk, the Spirit whispered, “You get to choose your Yes.” That one truth sparked the journey I’ll be sharing with you today.
 
Together, we’ll explore:
•Why so many of us live on auto-pilot, saying yes out of obligation, fear, or habit.
•The signs that you’re saying yes to the wrong things—and the consequences of staying in that cycle.
•How to use the first two steps of the SHINE Method (Seek the Truth and Honor Your Story) to evaluate your yes and start making decisions that align with your God-given purpose.
 
By the end of this episode, you’ll feel equipped to pause, reflect, and choose your “yes” with intention, setting the foundation for the life God has designed for you.
