Recognizing When the Attack is Spiritual
In this episode, Monique Johnson invites her listeners to pause before reacting to what may look like a personal attack by a colleague, family member, or other person. Instead of wasting time arguing and trying to prove your position to the person, take a moment to discern the spirit behind it. Sometimes, the fight is not carnal, but it is coming from another place, the spirit realm, and it may be simply to test you. If you are a follower of Christ, you will experience this at some point, so be prepared. Become more discerning. Get closer to God by studying His Word so you can be equipped. Listen and learn more.

Are You Living Your Purpose?

Monique asks listeners to think about what legacy or impact they’re leaving behind when it’s all said and done. Often times, we get caught up in our personal responsibilities, pursuit of economic stability, or in political issues that keep our minds in a state of worry or frustration. These things can be distractions from the individual true purpose in life. Listen to learn more.

Overcoming challenges of the holidays and rising
The holidays can be challenging for many. It can trigger sadness for those who are no longer here. It can cause financial hardship due to getting caught up in consumerism. Learning to set financial and personal boundaries will help. Changing your mindset toward this season and steering away from the commercialization can also help. My podcasts encourage you to think differently so you can experience more peace.

Take Authority & Snatch Your Peace
In this episode, Monique talks to her listeners about intentionally shifting from a defeated mindset to one victory and peace. Sometimes we allow the things that we go through in life to weigh on us and keep us in a place. This can be learned behavior. Maybe we’ve watched the way that our parents responded to challenges in their own lives and we adopted their way. Because this behavior is learned, we can unlearn it. It really takes talking to yourself and reminding you that you have power and can manage your thoughts. You don’t have to allow your thoughts to rule you. Second Corinthians chapter 10 verse five of the Bible addresses the issue of wandering thoughts, which is called imaginations. if we’re not careful, we can think ourselves into depression into worry into severe anxiety. So why not flip the script and train our brains to bring negative thoughts into captivity and free positive, joyful, thoughts.

Don’t Neglect Loved Ones While Pursuing Purpose
In this episode, Monique focuses on the other side of pursuing your dreams. For some of us, we get this rush of adrenaline when we are getting closer to our goals. It is exciting to see the vision becoming more clear. If you are like me, it is easy to get lost in that pursuit. So this episode is to caution, my go-getters to be mind of the cost of success. Know what the risks are and what the rewards are before you dive in. Create a plan to handle it all. Schedule a coaching call if you need help with this. calendly.com/envision1t

Sacrifice. What is it to you?
In this episode, Monique Johnson talks to the audience about sacrifice. we hear this word mentioned all over social media right now. we hear about it in such an eerie way. Today, Monique talks to the audience about the price people are, or are not willing to pay in order to achieve their dreams. Have you heard someone say wow I wish I had money like that person? Sure you have. Many people cover it what others have when the glitz and glamour is all they see. If people could see the journey and the sacrifice that wealthy people make, I wonder how many will commit to going through the same thing?

Snatch your peace and evict chaos
Break thought patterns that will make you believe you are a victim. Break thoughts that will bring you into a place of anxiety. Get control of your thoughts before they control you. Decide ahead of time that you will maintain your peace and your joy and not even engage negativity. You know I often say Mindset is everything. Our mindset has to be trained to perform in a consistent manner that brings joy and positivity. if we do not pay attention to the thoughts that control our actions and reactions we are unable to manage to level that is necessary to exercise control, and triggering situations. I pray God’s peace be upon you. I pray God’s protection be over you, and that His joy becomes your strength. This is a prayer that I ask in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen!

Mother’s Day Love
This episode is a celebration of mothers. It is a reminder to each of us to take time to appreciate the women who have encouraged us over the course of our lives, whether it be our biological mothers, or play-mamas, who were something like a mama to us. You know what I mean! We celebrate these courageous women, don’t forget the importance of taking care of yourselves. Our mothers and aunties and grandmothers worked very hard and sometimes wore themselves out. we don’t have to work like that without having some way to relieve the stress. Make time to exercise. take a walk even if it’s in the rain. Read a book in a nice quiet designated area with a throw blanket, a cup of tea and soft instrumental music in the background. Whatever it takes to bring yourself peace of mind, be sure to do that as you consider all the things women who came before us have accomplished through mothering.

Declutter your mind to maintain peace
In this episode, I share with listeners some of the strategies I use to ensure peace of mind. It is a strategy of decluttering all of the stuff that I think I need to take care of, or accomplish all at one time. It’s a strategy of prioritization. It’s looking at all of the things that require my attention and ranking them. You see, the phone rings and someone may ask if you can help them. You don’t necessarily have to drop everything and do it at that moment, you can ask them or what’s their timeframe? You can respond with, “Well, let me check on some things and I will let you know if I can work it in.” But some of us will say, “OK I got you girl”. Or, “ Ok son, I’ll take care of it”, without stopping to think about our calendars, or all the other priorities and commitments we’ve already made. Utilizing a calendar seems so simple yet not everyone does it nor is everyone consistent with it. As you listen to this podcast, I want you to think about how you respond to demands on your life. If you find yourself trying to accomplish so many things all at one time, and you realize it is unrealistic, and it is not serving you, I want you to take an action to do something a little differently than you have been. While you are prioritizing all of the things, prioritize yourself.

Balance it all or Integrate what matters
In this episode, I talk about how the working parents, especially moms, tend to take on all the things that should or need to be done, but fails to integrate what’s necessary for herself, or himself as it applies. We see more people going to school for late career opportunities or development. Some still have school aged kids, but find themselves doing online courses after work and juggling the kids extracurricular activities. Others are starting side hustles on top of their day jobs. Some of this is to improve their financial situation, but it’s risky to their health. This episode was created to help anyone in these situations to make a change in their approach. Don’t try to balance “everything”, eliminate what you don’t need to be doing and integrate self care into what remains.

You think you can do it all, ‘til you can’t
How many times do you take on many responsibilities thinking it’s going to be easy, until something gets in the way? In those cases do you pile it on, or let something go? Do you assess the opportunity to see if it is worth the sacrifice of time? This is what we should be doing before we overwhelm ourselves. If this is you, I pray this episode blessed you right where you are.

In spite of what comes, I choose peace
Honestly, this episode title speaks for itself. In life, we are presented with opportunities to grow or stay where we are. Godhas given us free will. We have choices. Sometimes the choices we make have great consequences and other times not so great results. It is my hope that you all become more and more intentional about the choices you make, and about the thoughts that you allow to become the words that you speak into your life. You know, there are consequences to even that. it’s kind of funny because I talk to my kids about word choice and the things that we say and they’ll scoff at me sometimes or just laugh it off and say yeah right mom is just words. I see that process in the words that they’ve spoken over themselves end up, manifesting into situations in their own lives, and I tried to remind them that again watch the words that you’re speaking we give life to the words that come out of our mouth, whether or not we intend to we give life to those words, especially when we speak them so often we begin to live them. That is where I caution anyone to pay attention to what you are speaking because if it is not conducive to your growth, you need to cut that language out and replace it with something that is of value for your maturity. Words mean a lot our God created the worlds by speaking it into existence. Manage your mindset by monitoring your thoughts, and controlling the words that you speak, so that they are edifying and not destructive.

Don’t become imprisoned by your thoughts.
In this episode, Monique speaks to her listeners about taking control of their thoughts and their words. This is all about managing your mindset. we are not careful to manage how we think about our situations which are events occurring in specific moments of the timeline of life, we can magnify momentary problems into lifetime issues. Unfortunately, many of these things can be cut off at the very beginning if we change the way we think about them.

Thoughts & Words
This episode is a continuation of X’ing out fear and managing your mindset. Fear can come to us in many ways. it does not have to be fear of eiders or some big, vicious animal or getting on an airplane fear can present itself as worry over a child a parent a situation on the job of which you do not know the outcome, nor can you control it. The fear comes from your thoughts about these particular people or situations. If you have thoughts that something is going to happen to a person if they don’t do Y or Z, or if you worry so much that it prevents you from making a decision for fear of the outcome, then you really are limiting yourself from experiencing the freedom to just live life. You really do have the power to live in peace, and in joy. You can choose happiness. You just have to train your mindset.

Master Your Mindset: X Out Fear
In this episode, Monique Johnson encourages her listeners to renew their mind as admonished in the book of Romans chapter 12 of the holy Bible. She reminds listeners that our thoughts must be controlled so that we can focus on the purpose that God has for us to fulfill. Distractions come to take us off course and fear is one of the biggest forms of distraction to keep us from fulfilling the purpose of God. God‘s word gives us instructions on how to defeat the enemy of our destiny. The problem is often times we fail to apply them. Some of us have never read the instructions. Romans, remind us to do just that, renew our minds.

Attacks on Your Mindset - It’s a New Year! Live Your Purpose!
In this episode, I talk to listeners about fulfilling purpose and taking care of themselves. In order to pursue purpose and not become derailed, we have to take care of how we respond to situations that come to do just that, derail or delay you. I believe that we all have a purpose, and there are forces that really work hard to distract us so that the purpose for which we were created is never fulfilled. Keeping calm, minimizing chaos by getting organized, and giving our mindset some TLC will make the rough patches a little easier to navigate. While talking care of ourselves, we should be careful not to hurt others in the process. Let grace abound.

I pray you are blessed and that you can apply what you need from my audibles of encouragement in order to get through your day, your week, your month, and your year.

Attack on the Mindset
I haven’t been able to sit down and do these audible messages from my normal recording space so please forgive the muscle sound in the beginning because I did this from my car today on my way to work because I felt as if there are many or even just one who would benefit from the message that I believe Holy Spirit put on my heart this morning. Oh but best believe , it gets real clear. In this episode, I talk to the audience about being intentional in their decision to have peace in the midst of their storms.

Take Your Peace Back
We’ve all been there, right? I’m referring to those moments in time when we feel like no one understands. We think we are alone in our struggles and it doesn’t seem as if it is going to come to an end. But somehow someway, we find the strength to endure, and we rise above our circumstances. We show the world that we are relentlessly resilient. We’ve made a decision to be just that, an overcomer and not a victim. I wish I could say this is true for everyone, but as you all know, there are many, and it may even be you, who have not been able to get past certain situations in life. I’m here to tell you that it is possible for you to do so. No, it’s not easy, but it’s possible. It is my prayer that as you listen to my podcasts from over the past several weeks and become so encouraged that you will make the choice to arise in resilience out of every issue that has plagued your life. Decide not to be a victim but instead a Victor. Peace and blessings to you.

‘Tis the Season for Self Care
In this episode, Monique talks to her listeners about taking care of themselves during the holiday season. This time of year tends to be stressful when it should be blissful. Often times it’s because we are trying to make everyone happy. We are trying to get everything done. We want the perfect home, the perfect decorations, or the right gifts to please others. The gifts of ourselves, and the gift of our time should be just as appreciated as a material item. While you’re planning for the holidays, also plan your personal time for restoration.

Say no to things that negatively impact you
We where masks when we have to be on stage. We some hide how worn and tired we are. The crazy thing is that we have caused ourselves to be on this situation for not saying no to the things that don’t serve us. We don’t want to appear selfish, or rude when asked to be a part of someone else’s event, project, or activity. The problem is that we end up overcommitting and find ourselves worn and tired because we couldn’t take of the “yes, sis, I got you mask”.
Nov 13, 202303:40
We Show Up in Masks
Image is everything. That’s what we hear people say. Social media has proven that statement to be so. We show the best parts of our lives to the world. We make a public display of the fun we’re having. We share a glimpse and hide the rest. The happy photos become our masks. When the post has been made and filters are off, what image of yourself do you see? You can private message me or send an email to mjohnson@envision1t.com if you want to talk about it on Real Talk with Monique.

Life be life’ng, so push through anyhow!
Life presents many challenges, as well as joys and opportunities. How we respond is based on our level of preparation. For those who have experience a lot of hardships and trauma in life challenges might be a lot easier to plow through than for someone who has rarely experienced difficulty. So how does one handle a major setback when they’ve been used to things working out well for so long? This is tough for many people. This podcast is about pushing through no matter what life throws at you it’s all about our choice to be happy in spite of situations. I hope this encourages you.

What do you do when life be “life’ing”?
In this episode, we receive encouragement to, except the fact that life brings challenges however, we are equipped to overcome those challenges. It all has to do with how we think about the matters at hand. Once we change our thought process toward something that could be a trigger for us to blow up, get frustrated and give up, we are on our way to really living life in abundance. Abundance of joy, abundance of peace, and even abundance as it comes to finances, relationships, whatever it is, that you set your mind to achieve, becomes achievable once you learn to manage your mindset. The purpose journey is really all about that. Pay attention to the road signs as you navigate this thing called life on your way to achieving purpose.

Grace to Step Away and Refresh
In lifting others up, we sometimes have to give them grace to take a step away from everyone. Even if everyone includes you. We need each other to survive is true, however there are times when we need space and time to spend with God, or simply be alone with ourselves. That doesn’t mean anything is wrong. It’s part of self care.

There’s so much that women go through and experience in life that, ultimately, can shape a family, a community, and the world.

No Guilt in the Let Go

Resetting in the Let Go
It’s easy to tell a friend to just let stuff go. That’s because you or I am not in their situation. When “being there” for someone, be careful not to exclude empathy. Understand and acknowledge where your friend is mentally or emotionally. Provide your supportive suggestions with love and encouragement. Some people need a little honey while others can take a dose of vinegar to get out of their slump. Discern wisely. Advise cautiously. Encouraging sincerely.
