Social media has been a vital part of our business and daily lives. But little did we know how much time and life it took from us.
In this episode, I am sharing the real behind-the-scene of what it looks like without social media. I'll share the different facets of my journey and the realizations that struck me of how much freedom and happiness I could gain without it.
Highlights
- Valuable things that we can possibly lose from social media
- Why personal connection and relationship is still the "Queen" to business growth
- The importance of being a good example for your children
- How being off social media could lead to more clarity, connection, focus and direction with your life and your business
- Things you should know and do first before you take off from social media
Social media is a game-changer to generation and has changed millions of lives globally. It has helped businesses and personal lives not connect across the globe but grow personally and spiritually. But indeed anything "too much" is destructive.
So I want to challenge you #leadhers to take at least a 15 days break from social media. Journal your everyday journey and allow God to have space in your heart. Allow God to work in you; give you wisdom on the things that matter most in your life. Allow God to show you the direction and connection that you need.

22: Child Trafficking Uncensored; Protecting The Children From Exploitation
“My eyes opened up to the fact that this is real, this is relevant, this is happening right in our front yards”
Children are a bundle of joy, innocent God-given gifts to every family, and the hope of our nation’s future. As of the moment, we might be safe at home with our kids, enjoying a lovely day under the sun with precious smiles from ear to ear, but are you aware that 800,000 children go missing every year and that is roughly 2000 children per day. These children are experiencing the opposite of what our children are enjoying right now. They are maltreated, sold, and harvested for organs.
Herewith us today are two good friends of mine, Alex and Jen on this awakening and alarming conversation about child trafficking and putting an end to these immoral and unlawful crimes.
In this time of crisis, we are called to be the soldiers of the weak, the voice of the voiceless and the defender of the innocent. Never be afraid to fight for the helpless, donate and light the torch of hope for millions of missing children that it might enlighten their path to their way home.
Ephesians 5:11- “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”

- A predator might touch your child in the presence of you so that he or she thinks that you’re comfortable with her being touched or him being touched.
- Keep in mind that the first physical contact between a predator in his or her victim is often non-sexual and designed to desensitize the child.
