This Motivation Monday, we talk about Worst Case Scenarios.

Don't.

Don't spend more time thinking about the worst case scenario than you do about the Plan A! What if it all works out? What if you operated out of that belief?

This week's episode is a must. Leah's guest is Sean Clifford, CEO of Canopy, father of four, and man of many degrees. Sean founded Canopy in 2019 to help build a world of healthy tech users, starting by protecting children from pornography.

Leah and Sean talk about the impact of COVID on internet usage and the paradoxical need for devices and their dangers. They also talk about brain development in children and saving them as long as possible from harmful images, and how to rewrite the parenting playbook in a way that helps form kids to face the future with confidence and competence.

Thankfully, Sean tells us how exactly Canopy works to filter toxic content on devices (this is where Leah gets her mind blown).

Step 3: Install Canopy on the smartphones and devices you want.
Step 4: Customize your settings - filtering, alerts, etc.
Step 5: Use your devices as normal! Canopy will work quietly in the background!

Challenge from Sean:
1 - Set guardrails for yourself.  Set the example you want your kids to follow about phone usage.
2- Know how much you matter to your kids and take advantage of those opportunities. Create opportunities for deep and meaningful conversation with your kids.

Listen. This is not just a cliche.

The Lord is always changing who we are. We can embrace not just who we are now, but who we're being called to become! The Lord is a Lord of transformation, and he is ready to springboard us off of those baselines into breakthroughs!

It's a heavy one, but I feel that it's important to share this, even though it's hard.

I'm sharing my story of losing my seventh baby. 

Motivation has to go hand in hand with suffering. We need the support, prayers, and encouragement of one another when we're carrying our crosses, and that's one of the graces I found in the helplessness of my miscarriage.

Even (or maybe especially!) in the midst of suffering, we have the opportunity to receive love, grace, and the good intentions of those around us.

Pray for me, friends. I'm praying for you.

Can't help it. We have to talk about Dreams, where they come from, and what we are called do with them!

Setbacks and failures are, for sure, disappointing and tough to cope with. Leah shares a personal story of a setback and how she learned to respond to it and move through the place of disappointment.

Important questions you can ask:
1. What can I learn from this experience?
2. What is the most important thing to do right now?

You may not be able to control your circumstances, but you can definitely control how you  respond to them.

Reacting is responding without thinking. Hopefully in responding, we take a holy pause before acting, and consider how we're going to respond. Christ calls us to live with order and thoughtfulness, not a state of chaos.

Boundaries. Ooh boy.

You don't have to explain your boundaries to anyone. Go ahead and set those however you need to live a full life for Christ.
