The Magnify Conversations

Life can seem uninspiring and start to feel monotonous when we’re chasing our tails by living paycheck to paycheck. Once we get to a point where we feel like we’re surviving rather than thriving, it’s likely that it’s time to start reassessing our career options, without limiting ourselves to the 9-5 box. We all have talents and areas of expertise that can be built on to expand our earnings, while using our main job as our base income. Most of us are capable, but need to apply wisdom to securing financial stability for us, and our loved ones by removing any limiting mindsets we have.How can we make the jump to expand our current salary and generate additional income by aligning our strengths with a thoughtful plan?

Many of us have a strong sense that tells us there is more for our skills and jobs. This can stem from a place of dissatisfaction, or be a clear calling to take a leap of faith and live out our purpose. We want to make well informed decisions about changing course, so we can use our gifts and talents in a fruitful way, and show up as our best version for ourselves, others and God. It can be tough to step out of our comfort zones when we want to shield ourselves from potential failure, but when we do that we’re not leaving room for faith-filled growth that strikes the perfect balance between crazy and calculated.How can we really know when it’s time to make a big career move, and where do we begin?

There is often a tension as single Christians where we trust God’s plans for our lives, but also feel romantically lonely when dating hasn’t felt like a successful series of events. We want to always remember that it’s okay to start again and reinvigorate a healthy spiritual mindset whether we're single, dating, in a relationship or coming out of an intense break-up. We want to remind ourselves that there is no one same timeline for each of us, and encourage one another to focus on the importance of making decisions, and choosing partners from a place of abundance, and not a place of fear and lack.How can we reignite a hopeful view of dating and romance after the end of a serious relationship?

Being a parent is something that many of us consider a milestone moment that we are, or were excited about. Embracing our nurturing nature can feel like it’s best geared towards being a mother, but not all of us will experience the reality of becoming a biological mother. When we encompass love, care and support for others around us we exercise our maternal instincts beyond biological bonds. Let’s never forget to celebrate the strength, resilience and tenderness of women who still positively impact the lives of many, despite the heartfelt and unfulfilled dreams of becoming a mother.How can we get through the grief of desiring children but never having a pregnancy make it to full term?

Wanting to pursue our passions and reach our full potential isn’t an inherently bad mindset to have, but it can turn toxic when it becomes all consuming. Burnout is something that can feel inevitable but if we work on learning what leads up to these moments of exhaustion, overworking and zoning out, we can take more of a proactive approach to set boundaries, and become aware of the keys to restoration. We want to live healthy and fulfilling lives that constantly empower us to have a perfect blend of hard work and rest that prioritises focusing on our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.What lies at the core of us glorifying productivity over rest, and how does burnout affect the mind, body and spirit?

We are constantly being bombarded with ideals and suggestions of how we as women should live and act. This seeps into all areas of people's lives relating to work, family and wider society. It can be perplexing to know how to slash stereotypes and build confidence, especially when we’re exploring whether being a nonconformist comes from a healthy place of wanting to fulfill our potential, or if it comes from a place of wanting to prove others wrong. A desire to do more and not follow one traditional path can teach us a lot about our confidence, agility and spiritual tenacity.What should a woman, career woman and woman of faith look like and how do we successfully embrace our multifaceted talents and interests?

We all want to put our best foot forward and have the image of being put together and being in our element in our professional and personal lives, but we can often fall into the trap of comparison. We can default to putting on the strong woman persona, because somewhere along the way we have made vulnerability and needing help to be synonymous with weakness. We wanted to discuss where these ideas stem from and why we can sometimes find it difficult to value ourselves when we don’t feel like we’re keeping up appearances.How can we celebrate our wins while also leaving space for the not so sweet moments?

The experiences and relationships we observe and encounter from childhood and adolescence have the ability to impact how we view future relationships. We can easily solidify our view of marriage, friendship and community based on a negative projection of our earliest representations. We can develop thick skin to protect ourselves from more hurt, but need to recognise that a defensive and overly critical attitude can block our blessings when healthy love and care comes our way.How can we work through our trust issues to ensure that our platonic and romantic relationships thrive?
