Today we chat about the importance of resting in God's sovereignty and trusting in His provision, particularly focusing on how rest is connected to trust. I get vulnerable about recent experiences that pushed me to take notice of how physical, emotional, and spiritual rest caused me to cease from striving and find peace in God's love and faithfulness.

"Sis, Write The Book?!: Unlocking emotional and spiritual roadblocks that keep you from writing your book." I believe that one of the biggest emotional and spiritual roadblocks that happen to people who want to write books, especially women, is perfectionist behavior.
1. Stop judging what you write, get into a flow, and just start writing.
2. Always remember your perfect target customer. You are writing to person, not to "them"
3. Research the type of editor that you want. Copy Editor and line editors are not the same
4. Always plan your celebration for when the book is going to be done
Well hey, you Welcome to Life With Lex hosted by yours truly Alexis M. Lott. Also known online as @alexismcreative and on today's episode, listen, we are talking about a juicy one that I got in from an audience member. I'm answering the question, Why do people only see how you respond, not what they did to make you angry?
This episode unpacks how relational trauma can really leave a woman broken for several seasons of her life, not just the season when it happened. It’s important to heal so that you don’t stop growing at the age you were wounded. I provide practical tips for living in the "and" where two things can be true about you at once and how to not let trauma from the past trap you into seeing life in extremes.
On today's episode, we are talking about Olympic hopeful, Sha'Carri Richardson and some of the conversation that has just been stirred on social media about this and how it has really led me to want to have a conversation with you about knowing what it is to love well, and how not to live in extremes, meaning holding people accountable for the things that they do wrong, while also choosing to extend grace and see a person is not the totality of their mistakes.
You are doing Life with Lex. Welcome to the podcast. And on today's episode, I am continuing our conversation all about how not to allow pain to shape your identity. You are not the most painful thing you have gone through stop allowing pain to shape your identity. And on today's episode, I'm actually opening up about a very painful area in my life and that is having sickle cell disease, and how I have to fight every single day for sickle cell disease not to be the totality of who I am.
Listen On today's episode, I am talking all about how to snatch back your identity from pain. But before we get into all of that, I want to tell you a little bit about myself and my story. So in 2010, I decided to give my life to Christ after the year before being miraculously stopped from a suicide attempt by a phone call from my grandmother. And from there, you know, I decided that God was real. And of course, I had always known but I decided at that point to submit and then I went through the next 11 years of my life on a healing process from trauma. And now my purpose in life is to help lead women into their purpose and out of trauma over at www.thecherishedwoman.com. And then my other thing that I love to do, how I pay the bills every month and so forth, is I am a brand strategist for authors, faith leaders, and coaches. It's so you can find me over at www.alexismlott.com. For more information there, and it's my job to help the everyday solo business owners connect well with our audience on line.
