I Made a 20 Hour U Turn and it was Amazing
The next time you have to make a u turn back home because you forgot something, be grateful it wasn't a 20 hour u turn like mine! Ten hours into a 33 hour drive, my daughter informed me that her move in date was actually a few weeks later! Instead of letting her have it for not communicating properly regarding this BIG move, I decided we were going to make a fun adventure out of the mishap and that's exactly what we did!  Tune in as I share all about the lessons and reflections of this brief road trip.  Lesson: Make the absolute best out of any situation gone wrong. When you do, things will always work out.  Connect with Barbara on IG @_barbaraguillen Book a FREE coaching consultation with Barbara Here Support the Podcast by visiting https://linktr.ee/barbaraguillen Learn more about the Made New Coaching program!

Give Your Dreams Life!
We all have dreams, desires, gifts, and talents within us. Why do so many of us hold off, put off, and refuse to take necessary action?  It all boils down to one thing: FEAR. Fear of failure, rejection, embarrassment...  In this episode, Barbara reminds us that God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and self discipline.  It's up to us to live the life we dream.  Go get it!   Connect with Barbara on IG @_barbaraguillen Book a FREE coaching consultation with Barbara Here Support the Podcast by visiting https://linktr.ee/barbaraguillen

Ep.17 Strike Out Generational Curses
Some call it generational curses, while others call it generational patterns. Either way, there are many signs in every family that point to the behaviors and circumstances that continue to show up and cause trouble and pain.  What are the curses in your family that you will strike out and replace with healthy and bless-able behaviors?  How do you deal with generational curses? Prayer is the ultimate answer. Before you can pray about it, you must be aware of the curses or negative patterns in your life and family's bloodline and you must make a decision to change the narrative.  Listen in to today's episode as Barbara shares the patterns in her own family and how she has managed to change the course for her children and family.  Join our private Facebook Community Tribe Called Blessed today!
