I was just talking about this in our community meeting. One thing we all came into agreement with was this. Listen carefully because I know you're going to agree to. Somewhere along the way, you realized the old version of success stopped working. Not because you failed, but because it cost you more than you were willing to pay. You've carried responsibility quietly, held family together behind the scenes, made decisions no one ever applauded. As a mother, you've learned that presence matters more than protection. As a father, you felt the weight of providing, not just financially, but emotionally. As a spouse, you've realized marriage isn't something you fit into success. It's what gives success its meaning when it's protected. And maybe for the first time, you're asking different questions this year. What am I building? And who am I building it for? Who am I building it with right now? And is the cost of building it with them one that my family can afford? And is this partnership helping my marriage and my family flourish? This is what happens when strength matures, when hustle gives way to wisdom, when learning stops being loud and starts being anchored. That's a difference. You're not falling behind. You're coming into alignment. And alignment doesn't shout. It settles. Not like there's something better out there, but I'm just going to settle. Not that, but like, for example, when rain settles, it's going to nourish a garden. It's going to nourish that rose to bloom. So stay here. This moment matters. Get ready for this conversation. Uh, no. Ooh, that's better, right, Beth? Yeah! Yeah. She founded an architectural concrete company. He founded a hundred million dollar clothing company. She took the world by storm as a social media star. He took the world by storm as a famous serial entrepreneur. Together we started a business. And had babies. Now we're figuring out the best ways to do both. Join us as we learn from other entrepreneurs going through the same life struggles. As they share their life hacks about success, love, kids. And everything in between. Hello, my friend, and welcome back to becoming unshakable. The Legacy Conversations bonus series, a special edition exclusively brought to you by the Entrepreneur Parents podcast, a community of strong families building unshakable legacies. I'm your host, Yildi Coferenci. And today, this one is just you and me. No framework, no challenge, no pressure to perform. Just a moment to breathe, to reflect, and to seal what God has already been stirring in your heart through this New Year's series. Because growth doesn't come from consuming more. It comes from keeping what matters, what resonated with you during that series. So over the last few episodes, we've talked about identity, obedience, family integration, which I love so much, legacy rhythms. But before you rush into the next thing, I want to say this gently and clearly. Not everything you hear is meant to be carried forever. But what you choose to keep becomes who you become. Some parents, they collect ideas. Some collect strategies. Some collect inspiration. But legacy parents collect truth. Right? We do. We do. It's undeniable. This community, that's what we do. They don't ask, what else should I do? They ask, what am I willing to protect? And they'll do everything to get to that spot. They look at the big picture, the one that costs the most, the one that weighs the most, your peace, your marriage, your children's hearts, your obedience to God, even when it's quiet and unseen. So that's what you choose to keep becomes who you become. There's a reason clarity feels quieter than ambition. Right? You see the difference? When success is no longer the loudest voice in the room, you start to hear what actually needs protecting. So that, what is that? That's your home, your marriage, your children's sense of safety. Your spouse's sense of safety. And suddenly, you're not asking how to grow faster. You're asking how to grow steadier. And that's when it becomes more clear. If this series didn't make you louder, but it made you clearer, that's success. If it didn't make you busier, but it made you more present, that's the fruit that we were looking for. If it didn't give you a massive to-do list, which I hope it didn't, but it reminded you who you're building for, that's the important thing. That, my friend, is legacy work. That is the legacy work that we talk about here. The world, it celebrates the momentum, the hustle, the busyness, right? But God celebrates what we're willing to protect. What is that? It's our family, our faith, our marriage. And protection is often the highest form of leadership. I think so. Scripture urges us in James chapter one, verse 22 through 25. I'm going to repeat that because I'm hoping, perhaps, we can edit that out. But if not, it's okay. So I'm just going to say it again for you guys, because I want to say it perfectly for you, because I love you. Scripture urges us in James chapter one, verse 22 through 25. Be doers of the word, not just hearers. Don't just be hearers. It reminds us that hearing without action is like looking into a mirror, seeing who we are, and then immediately forgetting. But the ones who look intently into the perfect law that gives freedom and continues in it, not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it. We'll be blessed in what they do. Remember that, not forgetting, continuing, doing, not rushing, not quitting. Just faithfully practicing, faithfully placing faithfully placing one foot in front of the other. That is unshakable living. So here's my invitation to you today. As you come back to these conversations that resonate, maybe more than once. I know many of you do. And as you listen again, take notes, reflect and pray through them. Don't feel pressured to master everything at once. Instead, let this experience be the first thing you do. Let this question guide you. What is the one truth from this series I'm willing to live this year? Even if no one applauds it. Even if no one's cheering for me. Now, if you can take a moment and grab your journal, grab a pen, grab your journal. If you're driving right now, take a snapshot of where we are. So you could find it for later. Put some notes in your messages or wherever your note page. But if you're at home, grab that journal, grab that pen. I want you to write down two things. First, write the truth that stood out most to you. The one that keeps returning. The one you feel God gently asking you to live. Not just learn, not just learn, but to live, to live it. What is the one thing you feel God is just gently asking you to live? Second, write one. Simple, faithful action you can take this week to protect that truth in your real life. You may want to pause this. Just write a couple of lines, first thoughts that come into your mind. And perhaps it's eating dinner together more often. I know in our family, that's a no brain. That is, I know my husband, he'll skip meals because he's on a call or he's doing something. This is nothing against him. But for me, this is a non-negotiable for me. And most of the time he does join us. But this is for me a non-negotiable. I will always be sitting with my children. Okay, I could do that stuff later on when they're gone. They're the life life. I'm in a community where I have many different ages of parents and they all say that life flies by. I remember holding my newborn in an elevator and I think I've shared this. And well, several times, this actually happened several times in an elevator, but they said it's going to fly by. Enjoy every single moment. Do not take it for granted. And it's always the elderly that come to us and tell us this because they literally say that it felt like just a few minutes ago that they were holding their newborn as well. And they're always teary-eyed, always teary-eyed. Okay, they're not just saying it to say it. It's because something has struck a chord within their soul and they feel compelled. They feel they must connect with me, shake me by the shoulders, although they're not, but the way that their face, their expression, their feeling that carries through their voice and lands in my ears and in my heart because it lands in my heart because we've connected with the stranger that has this important message saying that I need to hold on to these moments and I'm noticing in my own experience, I still have little children, my babies. And I notice how quickly it's going by. So perhaps it's eating dinner together more often as a family. That may be a non-negotiable for both of you. Maybe it's protecting your marriage from outside noise. How many people try to give you advice and they don't have a life you would want. You would never trade places with them. They don't live in the house. You want to live in. They don't have a marriage you want. They don't have that relationship that you want. And you have to, you have to look at that because it's just noise. They could be, they could be, it could be anyone. Okay, it could be anyone. But if they're not living the life that you want to live exactly, you don't want their blueprint. Throw it out. They don't have the bank account that you want. Throw it out. You must protect your marriage from outside noise. Maybe it's integrating your children into your life. Maybe that's going to change this year instead of compartmentalizing them. Right? So maybe it's integrating your children into a lot into, into your life this year. Instead of cart, why can't I say the word compartmentalizing them out of it? Okay, I can say the word. I, I, I dislike it when I say something negative and I always catch myself. So make sure if you ever say something negative, like I can't or I don't, I think, I think I can just correct yourself, correct yourself. Or maybe it's finally letting go of who you used to be. Sometimes it's time. It's time to move away. It's time to let go of the bad habits. It's time to stop cussing, whatever it is. It's time, it's finally time to let go of who you used to be. Maybe it's a whole renovation project. I had a lot of people flip houses out there. It's time to flip your character. It's time to flip. It's time to change things. Let go of who you used to be. You don't need anything is possible. You could get up and move today and go after who you believe in your heart, who God is allowing you to see who you can be. The potential. Again, I'm going to say it. You are so lucky to wake up this morning. Anything is possible. It's going to take work. It's going to take commitment. It's going to take self-discipline. But you were created to move mountains, my friend. Whatever it is, keep that. Because what you keep, you become. I'll put away the journal. You've locked it in there. I've gave you some great examples. If you come up with anything else, whatever comes into your heart, whatever comes into your mind, that's the first things you should write. So now put away your journal. And if this episode spoke to your heart, please share it with someone who might need to know they're not alone. And if you feel led, leave a five-star review. I hope you do. And a few kind words. I believe you will. Because when you share, you plant seeds of hope in another family's story. Before you reach for that coffee, consider this.

So make sure you tag us. Children would love to do that too. They always pray with me. So when I'm praying over you guys, my children are always witnessing what I'm doing. So not only do you have me, you have my little ones. I don't think I've ever shared that before. But my children, my gosh. The other day I wasn't feeling good and I just was so emotional. Sometimes my daughter, she does short prayers, but she just did the longest prayer, everything I needed, everything I needed to hear, everything. Lay your healing hands on my mother. I just unbelievable calling on angels. It was the most beautiful prayer. I didn't want to interrupt her, but I could just feel the tears running hot tears running down my face. And she's praying and it just honestly children's prayers. There's never been anything more powerful in my life. Never, never. I cannot, I have not witnessed anything more powerful. When I was really going through it after the diagnosis, my son, he was the first because my daughter couldn't speak yet. She was a newborn, but he did these prayers and it just, I couldn't even believe it. It was just so powerful and he would pray over my mother. Then the two of them later on, they would just pray over my mother. Unbelievable. There's nothing more miraculous than having children to pray with. And then once they take off with wings of their own and they pray, I'm telling you, sometimes it just, it catches you, catches you. How did the things that they are saying is so powerful? Anyway, anyway, back to where we were, we were closing out. So yes, we would love to pray over your mission and your family mission. I think that's where we were. We were somewhere around there. So God bless you. We'd love to do that for you. It would be an honor.
