How many times have you found yourself in a situation where you think to yourself "I should've done xyz..."? A million times! In this episode, Barbara shares a recent experience that almost had her in deep Mexico trouble (at least that's the story she's telling herself) all because she didn't follow the directions she was given by her host, Lupita.
Hear all about her 3-day adventure with her teenage son and childhood best friend that went from fun and games to detention and a flat tire inside the border. Don't worry- there's a lesson in here for everyone.

Who are you? If your first thought is one of your roles in life, you may be surprised to learn that those things do NOT define who you ARE at your core. You are not your job, your looks, or your achievements. When God created you, He did so with great intention and purpose.
SO many people get caught up in the trap of comparison and unwittingly dim their light when all along, they were created to shine brightly in the way that only they can.
Today, Barbara shares what true confidence looks like when you're clear on who you are and what your unique purpose is. Let's jump in!
