You're listening to Maybe You Like Me, the transparent musings of a God Girl chasing After Her purpose. Maybe you're like me as a podcast for dreamers and doers who takes life's lessons and level up to look more like Christ. We'll connect through super relatable stories, growing pains and ah ha moments that most of us share. Just not always out loud. I'm your host, Alicia Watson, creative entrepreneur, playwright, author, wife, mother, daughter of the king, and so much more. And I can't help but to think that maybe you're like me.

I can say with confidence that God gave me my business, Ali Watson Media. He's not gonna let it fail. He's not going to let it destroy me. He's not going to abandon me in it, and he's a steadfast resource of grace and favor and providence and sovereignty so that I don't mess it up. I can trust all of that and God has used my business to grow me in ways that I would have not grown otherwise. Like how being the face of my brand led me through a whole process of dealing with my body image issues and dealing with the trauma I experienced being overweight child. It was tough, but I'm healed and content with myself at every size Now. I wrote a book about getting over my weight and that has not only changed my perspective in my life, but it has done the same for some others.

Even after this recent surprise weight game, I had the best professional personal photo shoot to date because I was able to just be there in the moment and focus on what I was there to do instead of whether I look too fat in the photos, I still shop and dress this body. I still walk around the pool and beach without a cover up. I'm not hiding or beating myself up about it, and that's crazy. I had a friend who bought a limit of a house, like there were so many hidden things that were wrong with this house that they inherited from the previous owners. They did what they thought was right. They had two inspections. They did their due diligence and it still ended up not being perfect. It ended up not being the best choice for them, and it really sucked because it was a bad decision.

It was a headache to deal with, but eventually they got from under it. There was a process of repairing and replacing and bringing up to code investing money. They didn't expect to invest and understanding rules and regulations and so much more. At the end of the day, they were wiser for it though, and because of what they went through, they wanted to help others and ended up getting into real estate themselves. That's literally turning limits into lemonade because life is going to give you limits. You cannot avoid it. You cannot avoid it. Overthinking shows that you don't believe that you believe through your trying to work out every situation and outcome in your mind and in your life, that you can somehow avoid the pain.

The shame of making mistakes is something that goes hand in hand with overthinking and it keeps us stuck. I talked about overthinking before and how we overthink, mostly because we don't want to make a mistake because that brings mental pain, but because we're not perfect, we're going to make some mistakes and sometimes those mistakes cause us to feel shame. Sometimes we're ashamed of ourselves and sometimes we're ashamed by others for the mistakes we make, and when your mistakes and shames are public, it makes it even worse.
