The Powerhouse Podcast | How to Win Your Pageant, How to Improve Your Mindset, Increase Confidence, Stop Comparing, Grow Your Faith In Christ

On today’s episode, I’m excited for you all to hear the heart of one of our newest state titleholders, Miss South Dakota 2019, Amber Hulse. A political science major at the University of South Dakota, Amber is a 20 year old Powerhouse with humongous dreams that include running for office, and changing the way society looks at post-graduate life after high school. Her Social Impact Initiative and Nonprofit: Operation Overload has helped hundreds of people make the best decision for their lives after high school, and Amber has testimonials to boot. Additionally, Amber is laser sharp, quick as a whip, and a great sense of humor. Okay, I mean… don’t all my clients? (I know how to pick em.’ Wink wink) Today we talk about how to discipline yourself to win, what Amber feels like she’s grown the most in since placing 1RU last year at Miss South Dakota 2018, and what are the most important things pageant hopefuls can work on to secure their state title for the next year. We also talk about Miss America, how she plans to expand her social impact, and Amber gives expert advice on what does, and doesn’t matter during pageant prep. I know this episode will bless your soul, just as much as it did mine while conducting the interview! FOLLOW US HERE @powerhousepodcast_ -- Are you in The #1 FB Group for Pageant Winner Secrets?

Too many people are kicking themselves downhill, due to forgetting that they have a major part to play in making their vision a reality. Today I’ve put together 5 questions / challenge statements that I want to set before you for discussion, that can help catapult you into hope again, and start seeing some results. MAJOR QUOTES: “God can give you a vision, but He can’t carry it out for you.” “What you care about most, will be reflected in your corresponding actions.” “Anything great causes you to change on the inside first, and the outside second.” MAJOR POINTS: Are you an owner? Are you consistent? What are you willing to sacrifice? What are your surroundings? Do you accept yourself?

In this episode, I share with you all a story of being the "6th man" on my high school basketball team. Through embarrassment, verbal and emotional harassment, and inappropriately exposing our weaknesses, my coach was one tough cookie. As usual, in high school I found 100% fault in my coach, and played victim. But now after 8 years, I see just how valuable the delayed gratification of achieving my own expectations was, and I offer you all 7 HUGE takeaways from that experience. I also make some tall jokes, and let you in on some hilarious Swanson vacation happenings. Don't forget to subscribe to our podcast, and connect with us on social media, below!
