Your Mind, Your Body, Your Choice: It's YOUR Life...what are you going to do with it?

Good Friday reminds us that what looks like loss, rejection, and endings can actually be the beginning of something greater, even when life feels at its lowest. Through faith, personal experience, and purpose-driven work with Led by Motivation Outreach, Inc., I share why your hardest moments are not the end of your story… listen in as I share my thoughts.

Sometimes we give too much energy to moments that don't deserve it; allowing small situations to steal our peace. Growth is learning to pause, choose differently and protect who you are instead of reacting to everything. Listen in as I recount what happened to me this morning.

Not every shift in life feels good, but every shift has purpose. Even when you don't understand it in the moment, it's moving you, growing you and positioning you for what's next. Listen in as I explain.

Sometimes what feels like a delay, an inconvenience, or a change in plans may actually be protecting you or redirecting you right on time.Listen in as I discuss.

Differences make life beautiful—we admire how trees, plants, and animals of every kind live together in harmony, yet as humans we often struggle to accept differences in religion, nationality, or appearance. Listen in as I share my thoughts on why the very things that make us different should be what bring us together.

Pursuing your dreams can be exciting, but it can also become complicated when we expect the people closest to us to carry the same vision and responsibility that we do. Listen in as I share how I feel about this topic.

Often times people don't want to get involved when they notice others in distress; is that you? Listen in as I give a little loving encouragement to help the next person that you see in need.

There are times when people ask general questions about how you are feeling, but really don't pay attention to your response....listen in as I speak of this happening to me recently.

If you are anything like me, you have often brought people into your life, allowing them access to your heart, your family...your home, and were greatly disappointed when they failed you. You put a lot of time and energy into building a 'ship' with them, with no return of care; that is because these people were allowed into your life - by you! Assigned 'ships' are ordained. Listen in as I discuss the difference.

Have you ever stole anything? Picture me asking, 'have you eva' been thief'in? I have. Now, have you ever stole something from someone and didn't care about the outcome? Ready to hurt them over items they worked hard to purchase because you felt more deserving? Me either...let's discuss.

Have you ever met someone for the first time and they instantly don't like you? You walk in a room and eyes roll? Yeah...me too! Listen in as I discuss how we all should handle such people.

I wake up with a song in my head every...single...day! Listen in as I discuss the music that is playing in my head before my feet even touch the floor. Don't judge the singing...lol

I love the fact that I am aging. That means that I have another chance to get it right. Listen in as I speak on people that don't want to age.

Being prepared doesn't mean things will always go in your favor. You may not get that job, end up with the person you are interested in or, be able to save that life. Listen in as I give you a little loving advice.

Trust is a gift. If someone extends it to you, hold it close to you and cherish it. Listen in as I discuss what genuine trust is like.

Sometimes when things don't happen the way we want, when we want, we move on and say that thing is dead, it is no longer an option. Say this with me: My dreams, goals, business, love, life...it isn't dead - it is just dormant. Listen in as I give (mostly me) hope.

Love, appreciation, empathy, support, happiness, affection, good, support, hugs, friendship, prayers, smiles, blessing...give freely.Sonya

I can't be the only person that notices the things I am slacking in, the errors I make and/or the improvements I need to make before thinking of the good things I am doing....can I? If not, listen in...this is for us. www.ledbymotivationoutreach.com

There are times people say, 'that is just the way I am... deal with it' and you should. There are other times they use those words, and you understand the lack of growth they are showing. How do you know when to accept those words and when to call bullsh*t and tell someone to grow up? Listen in as I discuss.

Were you raised believing in Santa? If so, what were you told? How old were you when you realized the Santa story wasn't quite accurate? Listen in as I share a short story with you all.

Just a few reminders of how to reach me if you need and wishing you all a happy holiday.

This is what I have been on for the last month; loving yourself and showing yourself as much positive energy as you show others. Sometimes we give people we barely know more positive energy then we pour into ourselves; let's do better. Listen in as I drop a little positive energy into you.

Have you ever questioned your worth because of how others treated you? Yeah… me too. Listen in as I express your worth...and how allowing others to minimize it is non-negotiable.

If I wrote down every chaotic thing I faced this week—mentally, emotionally, physically, and in my relationships—and compared it to the moments where I chose peace instead, the difference would be clear. Today, I’m sharing how I finally chose my peace over someone else’s chaos.

Have you had situations in your past that you pray no one ever finds out about? Do you avoid certain people because they know about your skeletons and you don't want to be outed? If this is you, listen to my thoughts on this subject.

I apologize for the sound. It was raining and I am not always self aware. LOLHave you ever been to a party, or a group gathering and no one spoke to you, or you noticed someone else that was being excluded from all communication?Have you ever included a lonely person in your guest list for the holidays so they would not be sad and alone?Listen in as I speak on both of these subjects. It may change who you invite to your Christmas dinner.

Are you hard on yourself? Is it because of others attitudes towards you, or you overthinking things for yourself...or a mix? Whatever it is, me too! Listen in as I speak on this topic and give a little advice for you and me!

Have you ever met someone and liked them from day one, but as time went on they became a totally different person? Yeah, me too, but this isn't about me. Help me explain to another listener why people (that do not have a diagnosis) change their personality.

Conversations with the McQueen's is a podcast/video that include my husband and I having real life adventurous conversations in real time. We aren't cooking, cleaning, playing games, exercising...none of that. Just talking and laughing....a lot! Hope you can find us and listen in. We will be back by November 30th, 2025.

Envy isn't always about what someone else is driving, or how much they make. Sometimes it is as simple as my husband thinking they cook better than me! Listen in as I tell you things that can make me envious of someone else.

Have you ever had a 'ship' that suddenly had to have boundaries? Yeah...me too. Listen in as I discuss.

Do you know anyone that only sees their point of view, or, they don't open up and express their feelings, even when asked? Yeah...that was me. Listen in as I describe how I use to be and how it is not the proper way when you care about others.

I started this podcast 11.3.25, but had to add a few things after prayer on 11.4, so if this skips a bit...my apologies.How are you using your voice? I don't mean singing, or as a commanding tool, I mean, are you using it for positivity or anger? Listen in as I give my thoughts.

It is such a crazy time, PLEASE be part of the solution, not an addition to the problem. I NEVER ask this, but please share this podcast with someone.

Why do adults seek advice from others on matters of their own hearts? Not everyone has your best interest at heart… tune in as I unpack this topic.

Share your stories...ALL of your stories, not just the ones that make you sound great and look undefeated. We all have highs and lows...listen in.

You just have to listen in to understand what a special day today is. A day filled with love and memories - both good and blessed.
