A Gift or Challenge? 3 Ways Your Key Gift Brings Success or Stress

How to keep your Type's gift in balance so that it supports you and others.

Do you recognize when your gift is out of balance?

When you’re living true to your natural movement it is a blessing and a gift, but when imbalance takes over it becomes a challenge and causes stress in your life. I want to show you how to discern when you’ve crossed the line into imbalance and how to make corrections so that you can live a stress-free life. 

These sessions are a live recording from the I Love My Life Event 2020.

Each of the four Types has a gift. Watch the video for your Type and I’ll share three examples of how your gift serves and blesses you, and also what happens if you use that gift incorrectly in a situation that is not correct for you.

When it’s a challenge.

  3. (12:35) You can overdo it and create more challenges for yourself.

Type 4: When Perfecting is a Gift and a Challenge

  2. (3:56) You believe in the best and are not willing to compromise in your relationships.
