Write down your goals

Every girl should write down her goals. Business goals, personal goals, income goals, and what ever else you want to achieve in your life. If you want to achieve something in your life, don’t just think about it. Get your favourite journal or even just a piece of paper and write down the goals.

Having a goal sitting in your head may not help that much. Most books and successful people say that you need to write down your goals. First thinking and getting clarity about the goal is a great way to start but the next step is for you to write it down as soon as you think about it.

What is it that you want to accomplish?

Think about your passions, the things that light you up or practical needs you have. Use that to help you come up with the exact goal that you want to get. For example, let’s look at a person who wants to improve their health.

First step is to write down the goal of improving your health.

Next what you will want to do is to write how you are going to achieve this goal. It can be a huge help to find someone who has already done this before in person or online and see what helped them. Take their experiences on board as you plan out your course of action.

Write down why you want to achieve this goal. For some, it could be wanting to be able to run after your kids. For others, it may be to lose weight to get pregnant. Whatever your goals are, write down why you want to achieve them.

Another point that is important to consider is to have complete faith in yourself and your desired goals. You need to have faith and a growth mindset because if you don’t you could self sabotage yourself. You may have written them down, but it means nothing if you don’t kick out your disbelief of achieving this goal from your “belief” system. You need to have faith that you can reach any goal that you set.

After you achieve a particular goal, don’t forget to celebrate! Give yourself some sort of a reward and take time to enjoy it. Once you achieve your first goal, that gives you confidence that you can accomplish any of your future life goals. Celebrating your small and big wins It should give you some sort of motivation to write more and more goals down.

Now, what happens if you don’t reach your goal? This can happen to anyone. The best thing that you will need to do is to learn from this situation and think what you can do differently next time to achieve that goal. Look at what worked and what didn’t. Do you need to set some habits that will help you take consistent action or relook at your reasons why? Take some time to reflect then carry on, don’t let it stop you losing momentum!

Do you want to get clarity and figure out what you want and action steps to help you achieve it? Check out the Goal & Dream Life Planner

Why people don't want coaching 🤔 can you relate?

I've definitely been there. I have been worried a coach will push me harder than feels comfortable or they'd think my worries were silly or belittle me.

My coaching is client led, safe and confidential. 

I don't judge your goals or desires. I will hold up a mirror to your life but in a gentle and kind way.

You don’t need a crisis to want more.

Sometimes it’s just a quiet knowing:
“I’m meant to express something.”
“I’m meant to build something.”
“I’m meant to live with more intention.”

If you’ve been feeling that nudge, you’re not imagining it.
You might just need space and support to listen.

I’ve opened a gentle, month-to-month 1:1 support space for exactly this season 🤍

Ever felt like you can’t show up because you haven’t fully arrived in the very thing you teach or coach on?

That whisper of “Who am I to help anyone when I’m still figuring this out?” can feel loud.

I’ve walked through that this year. Anxiety rose up in a way I didn’t expect, and it had me feeling like a fraud.  You may also be having some wobbles around the things you teach or share on it. It's normal. 

The journey of growth and healing isn't linear.

But these moments don’t disqualify you. They deepen you. They rebuild character, sharpen compassion and reconnect you to what really matters.

If you’re feeling wobbly, overwhelmed or unsure of your next step, I made something to get you from crisis to clarity.

My free masterclass, Crisis to Clarity, is available to watch until the end of the year.
Grab a warm drink, a notebook,  let’s get you feeling clear and expectant for the year ahead ✨

A year or so after my wedding I did the big chop. If you're not mixed or black you may not be familiar with the phrase. It's cutting off your chemically straightened hair to grow your natural hair back. 

At this point I was done with living to western beauty standards. This was my first radical act of self love, of loving who creator God had made me. 

Lets not pretend that longer hair and straight hair has been coveted in our communities, cutting it all off to go curly was not a little thing. Especially 20 years ago.

I didn't always love how my hair looked or came out in those early days. Especially as it reached the awkward length phase but I knew I wanted to be able to myself and be ok.

Forward 20 years and I'm in a different place with my hair. Some days I have fluffy edges that aren't slicked down 😆 p.s if you want more info on loving your natural hair check out @paigelewinofficial

Going natural was part of my healing and self acceptance journey. People still "wow" when they see old pictures of me with longer straight hair and I get it, but I'm in a place now where it won't affect how I feel about how my hair or the how I look today.

Healing isn't an overnight thing.

If you want someone to walk besides you in your healing journey whether it's faith based or not my doors are open. Let me know if you want to book a coaching discovery call. 

With grit and grace,
Chisomo

In this episode, I’m sharing reflections about identity, worth, dreams and why Christ is the only secure place to build from and be rooted in.

This episode came out of a voice note convo I had with one of my divine led cheerleaders. We were talking about identity work often found in coaching and self development and why it had been helpful but lacking.

I reflect on the impact of right roots in identity, goal setting and following your purpose.

🎧 Tune in now wherever you listen to podcasts.

And ask yourself: What has/have my identity/purpose and dreams been rooted in?

🔗bit.ly/bnerooted🔗

If you want to be build a rightly rooted business or ministry then check out my course Brand New Era, doors to self study are open until Thursday. It's $99 with a 2 part payment option.

It's a 4 module course that will take 4-8 weeks to help you root your identity in Christ, uncover your God given message and tie it together with your story and skills.

MODULE 1: CALLED & CHOSEN – ROOTED IN TRUTH, YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST

MODULE 2: YOUR MESSAGE MATTERS – Gain absolute clarity on your God-given message and why it must be shared

MODULE 3: FINDING YOUR PEOPLE - Identify the people you are uniquely designed to impact and why you’re the ideal person for them.

MODULE 4: BREAKING THE CHAINS - Identify and heal the fears, beliefs, and patterns that have kept you stuck.

Being a Christian Isn't Just a Label — It's a New Identity.

In this post, I share a powerful shift God is stirring in this season: moving from surface-level Christianity to deeply living as sons and daughters of God. This identity shift changes everything—how we live, ask, expect, and show up. Ready to live from your full identity?"

I talk more about this powerful shift in identity in module 1 of Brand New Era. And why it’s key when you want to share your God given message through a business, ministry or gift.

⁠Brand New Era⁠ the self study course is currently open until Thursday 10th July.

Watch or listen on the blog: bit.ly/bnedaughter

The dove, the rushing wind and the tongues of fire are ways the Holy Spirit has been described or experienced. 

Today is Pentecost when the spirit of God lit the church and we believers got to receive God's Spirit alive and living within us for personal transformation and to build his kingdom.

Be blessed 🕊️
