12 | The Umbrella Effect: Are You Stopping Yourself from Receiving More?
While sitting in the rain on my second to last day in the Maldives, I had a realization: I’ve been blocking my own blessings. Just like an umbrella stops the rain from touching us, my fear, control, and pride have been preventing me from fully receiving what God has for me. And I wonder—what’s your umbrella?
In this solo episode, I share a powerful moment of surrender and what it revealed about trust, resistance, and letting go. If you’ve ever found yourself questioning, doubting, or holding on too tightly, this episode will remind you that sometimes the only thing standing in the way of your next blessing is you.
Topics Discussed:
- A simple yet powerful metaphor for recognizing what’s blocking your blessings.
- Why we struggle with surrendering, even when we know we should.
- The connection between control, fear, and resistance.
- How to release limiting beliefs and step into true trust.
- A practical reflection exercise to help you identify your "umbrella."
This week’s affirmation:
“I release what is preventing me from receiving God’s blessings and embrace the truth that His plans are better than my own.”
