Know Who You Are (And Let Life Take the Wheel)

Know Who You Are (And Let Life Take the Wheel)

Hey beautiful souls,

I’m Elizabeth. You might know me from the Elizabeth’s Magical Garden podcast or my YouTube channel.

Over the years, one thing I’ve noticed again and again is this:

So many women forget who they are.

One minute they feel strong and clear, and the next minute that confidence disappears like wind.

The real reason you feel “lost”

You are not broken.

You are not weak.

You are a creator.

God created you with purpose, with power, and with the ability to bring life into the world.

But when life gets loud, you can start living from pressure instead of identity.

And that is when you feel empty and depleted.

What God said (when you need direction)

Your Secret Sauce: The Power Source God Planted in You ✨

Your Secret Sauce: The Power Source God Planted in You ✨

Many people are confused about whether to move forward in life… or stay where things feel “comfortable.”

I’ll admit it:

This is something I’ve struggled with for a long time.

Because comfort can feel like a vacation.

Comfort can feel like a cocoon—soft, warm, and familiar.

But comfort can also be a cage.

WHAT IS YOUR “SECRET SOURCE”?

Do you know what your secret source is?

Not your hustle.

Not your excuses.

Not your fear.

Your secret source is the place inside you where God’s energy meets your real self:

Your gifts.

Your truth.

Your creative power.

Your courage.

Your calling.

Madonna and the secret source (yes—Madonna)

I remember being in junior high in the 80s when Madonna’s hit “Like a Virgin” came out.

And boy oh boy…

Me and every girl my age loved how those lyrics rolled off our tongues.

I can only imagine the horror our parents felt back then—hearing their precious 13-year-old daughter singing about “being touched for the very first time.” (Whew. Colorful days.)

But here’s the point I’m making:

Madonna had a secret source.

She created from what she felt.

She didn’t get all caught up in the who and the how.

She did what came naturally.

And imagine if she listened to every naysayer.

The 80’s would’ve been different as we know it.

A lot of young girls—myself included—felt empowered by her music.

It helped us realize we didn’t have to just accept what life was throwing at us.

It was a kind of “girl power” before the world even had the language for it.

And I’ll say this clearly:

Women’s voices matter.

Women’s bodies are not a curse.

Women’s freedom is not shameful.

Madonna said:

“I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.” —Madonna

That’s what secret source confidence sounds like.

God’s truth about your life

God never designed you to stay stuck in fear.

God says:

“For I know the plans I have for you… plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

That means:

You have a future.

You have a purpose.

And you have permission to move forward.

How do you find your secret source?

1) Move your body

Yes—dance it out.

I believe the body holds many secrets.

That’s one reason so many people feel stiff and blocked: they never let themselves release.

Sweaty and all.

One of the ways I do this is working out every day.

Sometimes it’s soft.

Sometimes it’s “all guns blasting,” music loud, letting my body do what it was designed to do:

Movement.

2) Write every day

Writing gives you an edge because you get to sit down with your subconscious mind.

You get quiet enough to hear what’s true.

Do it every day—then watch your secret source reveal itself to you.

Takeaway

Comfort feels good…

but it doesn’t always tell the truth.

Your life is full of distractions.

And your ability to create the life you know you deserve?

That is your superpower.

Hugs,

Elizabeth

Hey There, Beautiful Soul!

Hey There, Beautiful Soul!My name is Elizabeth, and you may know me from my podcast Elizabeth Magical Garden or my YouTube channel Elizabeth Magical Garden. Before we dive in, go ahead and find a comfortable spot—because we’re going to get all up in your business today.

Let’s Get Real: You’re Working Hard, But Are You Moving Forward?

Have you ever felt like you’ve been working hard—doing all the things? Going to the gym, getting your hair done, nails done, and yes, finally getting those feet done now that the sun is starting to rear its beautiful head?

Well, maybe the feet part was too much in your business—or I’m telling on myself because my toes need a good session too. Anyway, that’s not the point.

The point is: you are not where you deserve to be because you’re not being open to NEW things.

Yep, I said it.

You’re Not Alone

Here’s the thing—you’re not alone. Millions of women are stuck, despite how hard they’ve been working on themselves.

Why? Well, for one thing, women are always being pushed to take care of others rather than themselves. This has always been the hurdle that women have had to work past.

Unlike most men—and before you start with “it’s not all men,” I did say most men—they go to work, deal with the world, and come home.

But women? No matter the task, we’re met with having to look good while doing the same thing—often even more—all while presenting the world’s idea of what a woman should sound and look like while achieving her goals.

Somewhere Along the Line, Your Dreams Took a Back Seat

Somewhere along this line, dreams took a back seat. We started living a “gleaming” life of wealth and abundance…but the truth of the matter is, it’s all a lie.

Your ability to create the life that God set for you was never taken away from you.

God’s Word never changed. Society changed—not God. And the sooner you realize this, the better life gets.

But First: You Have to Change Your Way of Thinking

Without this ability to renew your mind, you’ll never get to the Promised Land. (Yes, I believe that’s what Oprah’s house is called—at least that’s what Shonda Rhimes called it in her book Year of Yes, a must-read in my opinion.)

In her book, she lays a great foundation for why following your inner voice sets you free.

This is what is needed for you to move forward: freedom to think, freedom to hear the voice of God in your life.

What Does God Say About Following Your Dreams?

Proverbs 16:3 – “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”

Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Psalm 37:4 – “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

God wants you to dream. He wants you to succeed. He placed those desires in your heart for a reason.

Why Your Inability to Learn Is Your Problem

Here’s the hard truth: Your inability to learn is keeping you stuck.

I believe God has given all of us an assignment. For me, it’s writing and talking. For you, it could be acting, writing your first book, or hey—becoming a professional traveler.

Whatever that gift is, the only way it can be realized is if you take time to sit with yourself and God and find out what this life—your life—is all about.

One thing is safe to say, no matter what you believe in: sitting with self and listening to your inner voice will always lead you in the best direction.

Why? Because you hold the key. You are your biggest fan.

Believe in Yourself—God Already Does

Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

With time and the willingness to learn, heal, and hear, I believe your abundance is on its way toward your door.

Why? Because you’ll now have a pot to pour into.

So remember to dream big, my friends.

Final Thoughts

Your ability to create the life God designed for you has never been taken away. It’s time to stop making excuses and start learning, growing, and believing.

God’s Word never changed. Society did. But you don’t have to follow society’s rules—you follow His.

Stay blessed, stay empowered, and keep dreaming.

Hugs,

Elizabeth

Give It All You’ve Got (What God Says + A Simple Money Hack)

Give It All You’ve Got (What God Says + A Simple Money Hack)

Hey friend, I’m Elizabeth. You might know me from the Elizabeth Magical Garden podcast or my YouTube channel.

Have you ever noticed this?

Some people seem to win so easily. It is like life is on “easy mode” for them.

Others feel stuck, like they never get a break.

Here is the truth:

God did not forget you.

You are not here by mistake.

God chose you to be here.

God gave you gifts and strength.

God wants you to live a good life.

But you cannot sit and wait for a big break.

The Midnight Hour

The Midnight Hour

Hey, I’m Elizabeth. You may know me from Elizabeth Magical Garden on YouTube or from my podcast, Elizabeth Magical Garden.

Today I want to talk about something so many people do without realizing it.

They stop before they even get started.

Maybe you know the type. And if we’re being honest, maybe you have been that person too.

You have the big dream in your head.

Writing the book.

Starting the business.

Moving across the country.

Changing your life.

But instead of living the plan, you keep thinking about the plan.

The Spoken Word: Why What We Say to Ourselves Matters

The Spoken Word: Why What We Say to Ourselves Matters

Hi, I’m Elizabeth from Elizabeth Magical Garden, and welcome to this today’s reflection.

Before we begin, find a comfortable spot. Maybe you want to be in your room, sitting down or laying down. Take deep breaths. Ease yourself into the relaxation of understanding that you’re safe. This is your moment to reflect on what is most important.

The Power of Our Words

Today, I want to speak about the spoken word and why the things we say to ourselves can be harmful—or healing.

Let’s start with scripture from Matthew 12:36-37 (NIV):

Matthew 12:36-37 (NIV) “But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

When you hear this, how does it make you feel? How did the word “condemned” sit with you? Did it make you nervous? Did you feel a particular pain in a particular area of your body?

Words are powerful.

I believe that God wanted to emphasize our ability to create life or death within the word. When God created the world, He spoke life into it. He said, “Let there be light.”

Light is what is within us. Love is within us. And our ability to focus and bring back thought into the words we profess can change our lives.

A Poem from Maya Angelou

I’d like to share a poem from Maya Angelou:

“Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.” — Maya Angelou

I believe that we have the ability to not only speak life, but to change our lives through the spoken word.

Words That Heal

Here are a couple of affirmations that I believe will set you on the healing path:

  • “I am worthy.”
  • “I am blessed.”
  • “I am capable.”
  • “Thank you for this healing rest.”
  • “Thank you, God, for this new beginning.”

You Have the Power

You have the power to change your life, and it starts now.

Be mindful of the words you speak to yourself. They shape your reality. They create your world.

Until tomorrow, stay blessed. ✨

When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Praying

When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Praying

Hey there! I’m Elizabeth. You may know me from Elizabeth Magical Garden podcast or my YouTube channel, Elizabeth Magical Garden. Today, I’d like to break the ice, so to speak.

What Do You Do When Life Gets Hard?

What do you do when the going gets tough? Do you scream? Do you shout? Do you go out and punch something?

For me, I like to go to the gym and let it all hang out. No, really—I like to stretch my limbs as far and wide as I possibly can. Boy, does it feel good!

Anyway, the point I’m trying to make here is this: many people start to feel as if life is closing in on them due to their inability to see past the present pain they are experiencing.

You’re Not Alone in Feeling Hopeless

Millions of people are feeling hopeless due to what life has been presenting to them, amplified by what they see on screen.

But what if I told you it’s all a hoax—it’s not true? Stay with me here. Keep reading and bear with me.

What If We Looked Inward Instead?

The world, as we know it, is going through mighty changes, to say the least. But what if every human were to stop focusing on what they see on the outside and, well… started looking inward?

What do you think the state of the world would be in? Would there be more peace? Would things feel and appear calmer? Continue reading “When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Praying”

Faith: Choosing to Believe Despite the Doubt

Faith: Choosing to Believe Despite the Doubt

I’m pleased to say that we are here, and I’m excited about today’s reflection. My name is Elizabeth from Elizabeth’s Magical Garden—here is where we release today.

This evening, I wanted to discuss something with you: faith.

Before we start, be sure to have some tea, a warm beverage, or any beverage of choice. Allow yourself to take in the words that I’ll be sharing this evening.

Faith is something that allows us to see and hope for the things that are not yet seen, right?

Faith isn’t the absence of doubt. It’s choosing—choosing to believe despite the doubt.

Faith isn’t waiting for perfect conditions. It’s stepping forward even when you’re scared. Something that can be very scary when you think about it.

In Hebrews 11:1, it says: “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”

See, when we choose to have faith, we choose to realize that God has already planned our steps. You have the ability to bring into fruition the things that you’ve been waiting for. The things that you’ve been praying for. The things that you’ve been longing for.

You have the ability to bring it into existence. And have it. Yes, and have it in this lifetime.

So where you are right now, take a deep breath.

And with that breath, envision yourself having that thing that you’ve been praying for.

And with that exhale, release fear. Release the doubt that’s been plaguing you from realizing that dream.

Today, choose faith. Choose hope. Choose to believe that God is working all things together for your good.

Be sure to check the links down below so you can receive your free gift that will further allow you to have the tools that you will need so you can proceed and live a wondrous, prosperous life.

Until next time, my friends.

Stay blessed. Stay in peace. And stay empowered.

Peace.

Hugs, Elizabeth

You Are One of a Kind—Created in God’s Image

🌟 You Are One of a Kind—Created in God’s Image 🌟

Hello, my beautiful friends! Welcome back to Elizabeth’s Magical Garden. Today, we’re talking about something that will change the way you see yourself: You are one of a kind, created in God’s image.

Before we dive in, take a deep breath, grab your favorite drink, and get ready to receive this powerful message.

The Social Media Trap

Let’s be real for a moment. So many people today are living their lives as if they’re copies of some version of themselves—a version they think they’re supposed to be based on what they see online.

With social media at an all-time high, it’s safe to say that how people view themselves has become unhealthy, to say the least.

Here’s the truth: The version you see on the screen is not real.

Everyone is showing up in their Sunday best. The videos you watch are clips of the best moments—of course they’re pretty, they’re meant to be! Even the ones that claim to be “authentic” are designed to capture your attention.

So how do we go from the dark to the spotlight? How do we break free from comparison and step into our true identity?

You Are Created in God’s Image

🌟 Abundance Is Your Birthright 🌟

🌟 Abundance Is Your Birthright 🌟

Hello, my beautiful friends! Welcome back to Elizabeth’s Magical Garden. I’m

so glad you’re here today because we’re going to talk about something powerful: Abundance is your birthright.

Before we begin, grab your favorite drink, get

comfortable, and open your heart to receive this message.

Living in Fear or Living in Abundance?

Many people today are living in fear. Why? Because they don’t know about the amazing blessings God has already prepared for them.

I know this because I used to be one of those people. I lived in worry and doubt until I changed my mindset. That’s when I discovered God’s beautiful plan for my life!

Here’s the truth: We were all born with God’s favor. Sometimes our eyes are just too blind to see it.

What Does the Bible Say About Abundance?

Let me share some powerful verses that show God wants you to live in abundance:

Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

God has already planned your prosperity! It’s waiting for you.

John 10:10 – “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

Jesus didn’t come so you could just barely get by. He came so you could live a FULL, abundant life! Continue reading “🌟 Abundance Is Your Birthright 🌟”
