    Mar 7 2023
    In this life coaching session of Breakthrough with Brenda, guest Deborah Franklin brings to the table her desire to stop a pattern of self-sabotage from operating in her entrepreneurial life. Deborah knows that this trend of self-sabotage comes from her past and is causing her doubt and loss of confidence. First, coach Brenda helps Deborah determine where the message of low self-worth started. Then she provides tools and action steps for Deborah to take that will up-root negative self-talk, stop self-sabotage, and free the way for Deborah to fully grasp opportunities to stand out in all situations as the dynamic leader God created.   Deborah Franklin is a successful high school educator who has stepped up to the plate of leadership in the classroom. However, she feels she is holding back from standing fully in her authentic power as Founder of Church Girl CEO, a publishing and coaching business serving women in ministry.

We can only transform who we really are."   "When we allow something to become a part of our identity, we live from that place."   “Fear is a spirit.”   "Suppressed pain becomes poison in the soul. When you process your pain, it sets you free!"   "The Holy Spirit whispers, the enemy roars!"   "Exercise your discipline muscles."   "Every good thing ain't a God thing."   ************************************************   AHA Moments: · I never saw the smaller me · Eat to live, not live to eat · Running through Paris – Using my escape route (VR exercise) to get unstuck · Love yourself for who you are now!   ************************************************   Social Media: Deborah Franklin Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deborah.franklin.1232  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conversationsdeborahfranklin/ LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborah-franklin-1a767738/   ************************************************   Connect with BtFL Coach BU   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/btflcoachbu/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/btflcoachbu/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/btflcoachbu LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/breakthroughforlife/ FB Biz: https://www.facebook.com/breakthroughforlifecoachbu/   Presented by Breakthrough for Life LLC Learn more at https://www.breakthroughforlife.com/
