“Assume that God is using you, and because of him, you are enough.” Thank you for that!

[@Martina_E]

Love this video!😊

[@Castro_yanka]

Literally what I said rn

[@nash_orena]

I realized that yes I am never enough but with God I am because Christ lives in me! Focus on the mission! I love this!!❤❤❤

[@francinemonteleon9028]

Bethany, you are an incredible young lady. I am tearing up here over your wise commentary. We love you. From your 73 yr. Old follower.

[@TosinOdugbemi]

Bethany, it is so lovely hearing you share about your confidence and its roots in knowing you're a daughter of Christ! Continued blessings to you as you bravely pursue your calling.

[@ambers9755]

Been a long time subscriber, I've become more confident learning from your fashion tips. We have similar body type and now found out we're both ENFJs ❤ I'm on the journey to find myself and life purpose, but also dealing with self-doubt and insecurities. I almost cried when hearing you said "am I enough". This hit me hard. The piece of advice I find most helpful was to make it about your mission and we should not listen to our insecurities which come from ego. Thank you for these wonderful wise words, Bethany. You are a true inspiration!

[@clichecurls]

The foremost thing I want to say is that, your voice is so comforting and the way you describe every thing in detail seems so composed and deep. Whatever you mentioned in the video is just so right and I would love to hear more from your experiences. Thank you Bethany.

[@highdesertstudio]

I love this new content Bethany! I'm an artist opening my first studio space and it couldn't have come at a better time. This shift is bringing about so many insecurities from within, but also deep down I know that I'm ready to rise to the challenge. Sometimes I think that we shrink ourselves by focusing on our insecurities and fears because we are scared of our own potential. Wishing you all the best xo.

[@amritagill1680]

Fellow ENFJ 😊 I am so into that!!! No wonder I enjoy your delivery!

[@os8119]

I appreciate you bringing God into the spotlight in this video! Ultimately women need Christ in their lives to have true and complete confidence, and I’m sure He is working that in you and through you to other women

[@virginiaescalera2419]

I admire how self accepting you are and not afraid to be yourself. I rarely follow my heart because I feel like I may be very self centered. I feel like my mission in life is to survive. Your words are very soothing, inspirational and true.

[@bryersheridan815]

I’m actually a homeschooling stay at home mom and I love these chat videos you do they’re so insightful I originally started your channel for not wanting to let myself go and stay fashionable and put together but now I stay for these types of videos thanks you for your time ❤

[@OL1820]

Hi Bethany! Congratulations on your new channel. I am looking forward to it. All the points in this video resonated with me, but especially the surrounding myself with mentors at any age. From a young age, I have always surrounded myself with older people who have provided me with guidance and wisdom. About 10 years ago, I found myself in a new work setting surrounded by colleagues who were mostly 10 years younger than me. It was my turn to offer guidance and support. Despite looking younger than my age, many saw me as a peer rather than a mentor. However, recently I connected with someone 10 years younger than me when she showed interest in a baby stroller I was selling. We discovered that we had a lot in common and decided to get to know each other through a play date. Towards the end of our first meeting, she curiously asked me about my age, and when I shared that I was 44, the mood instantly changed. Although she expressed surprise at our physical similarities, it didn't feel like a compliment and the atmosphere became awkward. I realized that she wasn't ready to accept my friendship or the wisdom I could offer, so I gracefully left the situation. I made a conscious effort not to take it personally and focused on the fact that not everyone will appreciate a connection and look past the age difference. By the way, Bethany, it's wonderful to learn that we share a birthday! I can truly understand and appreciate the significance you place on self-improvement and gratitude.

[@raquel_loves_her_dog]

Absolutely loved hearing these valuable life lessons 💕👏 God has a plan for each of us!

[@chalkfullofhits]

I loved this so much, I re-watched a few sections! A few things that have helped me see the larger picture (outside of myself) are history and astronomy. They both remind me that we're just small, working parts in a greater mission. So glad to see you post again!

[@beihu448]

Hi Bethany, I love the message about focusing on the mission that God gave to each one of us, not on ourselves. I've followed you for years, and hearing you speak about this feeling of "not enough" and how you cope with it helps me a lot

[@thatsparul]

The one that struck me the most in this moment is: Get a bigger picture so that I can fulfill different parts of the canvas with equal degree of calmness, or atleast can make an informed choice. And how the pillow can feel soft at night, I love that analogy. Thanks Bethany❤

[@user-nm6dr4uy3d]

The way that I understand the difference between being seen and being heard is that both involve a need for validation but in a different form. Seeing someone involves things like understanding and acknowledging the other person without the use of words; caring and forgiving; empathising; reading the other person's body language. Hearing someone includes validating the other person with verbal affirmations; listening to their words and actively showing that you've understood; asking direct questions rather than trying to read into their intentions; engaging in conversation and being open about your feelings.

[@myoaklee]

Chapters 4, 6, and 8 resonates with me! I truly love and appreciate this form of content. Thank you Bethany!

[@joannmannarino8898]

Bethany I have to tell you I am so excited to hear this. You have always been my favorite content creator regarding fashion. I did take your fashion course and learned SO much from it. Although we have a LOT in common regarding clothing choices (I am a total neutral girl which I never realized until I moved into my new home and was organizing my closet and realized I hardly have any clothing of color or patterns - other than a few striped tops). You and I have similar body types. I am 5’ 3” (barely) and do not intentionally own a scale but estimate my weight is around 115 (the last time I was weighed at the drs and usually tell them not to tell me but I peeked. I was married to someone for many years who body shamed me constantly so I try to have a healthy relationship today with food, exercise, etc. I follow several workout women on KZbin as I workout from home but the fact that you are going to be doing daily workouts really excites me as I also really enjoyed LeoSculpt. Love your content Bethany and so glad to hear you are going to be back!!!!

[@dstern5859]

I’m here to support you as you begin a new adventure with your new channel! May you be blessed!❤

[@JadesMom743]

Blessings to you and that lucky man of yours! Wish both u the best! Please please more videos! 💜🙏

[@akilahbrooklyn8236]

This video popped up at EXACTLY the RIGHT time. God is Good!

[@user-pw8ks7pi9j]

I started watching your KZbin channel during 2020. Even though you are much younger than me (I'm 70 yrs.old now) I really enjoyed your videos. There was something so special about you. Now I know. God has given you a platform to help other women. We started a Women's Mentoring Ministry at our church 3 yrs. ago. Beside Ministry. I have been blessed to have been a Mentor to 5 women and am mentoring 2 women right now. You are not only being blessed by the older women in your life, you are blessing them. We pray, meet, learn and encourage each other. I have three daughters. I had my Bethany when I was 44 yrs.oId. Then son, Nathan at 44 yrs. old. Knowing someone's love language is soo important in a relationship. May God continue to bless you, your family and all that you are doing. Love,🩷

[@apurvaamol3043]

Going through a tough phase in life. Your video just made my day. Thank you Bethany. All the best wishes for your new venture ❤

[@simplyericaamaro]

Thank you for this video! I don't know if you will ever go back to the content that brought me to your channel, but everything you do comes from a genuine place, which in the end is what really makes me stay. For now, I am very excited about your new channel! I don't know how often I will get to join you, but the intention is there. 😊

[@deborahclavette879]

Beautiful message, Bethany. I'm so glad that you are drawing from the wisdom of those who have gone before you! It shows! "We are His masterpiece (poetry) created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we might walk in them." The beauty of your life & message are a masterpiece, Bethany!

[@Deanna52ish]

I got back from vacation and happily saw that you were back. So glad to see you. Also happy to know you are a woman of faith. You didn't say anything I didn't know (I'm in my 60's and been a Christian since I was 23), but it's such a blessing when a young woman knows her worth in Jesus. I've been a subscriber for at least 3-4 years and I don't think I've ever heard you mention God., so praise God! I'm so glad your husband is empathetic. I have one of those too : ) Thank you for your continued content Bethany. You are a gem.

[@TheZeyre]

Hi Bethany. Well that made me choke up. Omg. Best advice was the plane window view. You are a treasure and held dearly by your people who have the pleasure of knowing you! Big❤B thank and Zack! Blessings and over to your other channel… xoJoanne

[@Cibi_m]

I missed you around here but I’m happy for you and to hear such wise words. God has a purpose for us all and you’re definitely fulfilling yours ❤

[@hadasgold6511]

One of the things that I love about this video is the way you talked about God. It can resonate with anyone no matter which religion he/she is. I am a Jew, and I could resonate with everything you said ❤. When you speak truth, it becomes universal. well done.

[@sophiahayward577]

So well said. I loved this message

[@kathleenreese5010]

That was a wonderful message, packed with wisdom. It has given me a lot to ponder.

[@prasanthadevulapalli9011]

Great video! For me I loved what you said about insecurities =ego. And getting mentors who are older than you. I have been a mentor and coach for as long as I can remember. While I have many older people in my circle I must see them as my mentors as well. There’s so much to learn from taking breaks at times. Love this video. Will also check out the new one :) ❤

[@heyitsmarrr]

Didn’t know I needed to hear some of this stuff. Thanks for sharing this and reminding me that reflection is so important. And yay for a new channel, I’m looking forward to it!

[@victorialim1480]

Such solid advice Bethany!! Really needed these reminders today.

[@chapternatural284]

Chapter 6 is an excellent description of the parable of the talents in scripture. Thank you for sharing that.

[@lilaxolotl2697]

Thanks Bethany, needed to hear this. The last analogy really got me thinking. I'm going to go home and sketch out a rough composition of how I want my life to look. My problems today will be nothing but a speck of ink. Appreciate all you do!

[@MA-kl1od]

Thank You for letting God use you. You are an inspiration

[@nolangleich]

Hi Bethany, I'm a new subscriber! I've been struggling to know how to style myself because I'm petite. The other day I looked up "the best jeans for short girls" on KZbin and some of your videos came up! I've been binging your content since and not only am I learning so much but I've been so encouraged!!! Thanks for making this video, for creating amazing style content, for sharing your fitness journey, and for being bold to share your faith in your videos! I'm so excited to keep following all that you're doing 🤍 Also, Chapter 6 of this video reminded me of this amazing book I'm currently reading called Purposefooled: Why Chasing Your Dreams, Finding Your Calling, and Reaching for Greatness Will Never Be Enough by Kelly Needham. Just wanted to mention it in case you or anyone else is looking for a great book about calling and purpose! :)

[@johannaarroyo6832]

Thank you for such a great and encouraging video. Needed to hear this… one of my take away is always keep learning a new skill. 😊

[@charlenachalice]

Thanks for this! This came right on time for me. I’m starting a new chapter in my life and feeling insecure, unsure, etc and this really helped me out things in perspective. I appreciate you! And your Style Masterclass has done wonders for my confidence!

[@TheZeyre]

Hi Bethany - I cannot watch today but I will do so tomorrow. Be safe and do what is best for you! Xo ❤ioanne

[@soniapanchal4675]

Bethany, I keep wondering How beautiful your soul is and God choose your body to pass such deep understandings about life and blessed you with the wisdom and vision to share it with all of us unconditionally because you are doing all of it not just for yourself but for serving God's purpose! I was really touched and emotional with Chapter 6 & 7 You know Most of the content on KZbin is tempting initially but ultimately just mind cluttering. But this one from you is one of those that cleanses the mind's misconceptions and calms it down, it feels so pure and serene as that's simply your reflection! I just want to thank god for having known you in this Life time. I love u so much ❤

[@shubie.007]

This came to me at the perfect time in life. Life has its ways. Wish you nothing but the best, Bethany ❤

[@penultimateh766]

Our host is absolutely one of the most poised, stylish, and personable KZbinrs today.

[@dragonserene1877]

I loved this video . Really has me reflecting. Also I wanted to point out how I love you have the like and subscribe as just words at the end and not something you say in your video. I find when people mention it in the video it disconnects from the message of the video and comes from a place of fear. However the way you do it removes that fear from your videos and content making me just want to hear all you have to say. So thank you for the work you do.❤

[@princesinha1680]

So much wisdom. Thanks for sharing. I'm learning similar lessons in my own life...no matter how weak or 'not enough' we are, God is more than enough, & it's our dependence on him that allows him to use us & be glorified. Also, I'm not surprised you're an ENFJ. As an INFJ, I had an intuitive hunch...

[@bethanyleonardo]

Love your thoughts! Hehe, married to an introvert, but my cognitive functions are heavy on the extroverted feeling side of things. INFJs and enfjs are very alike though!

[@shakira1702]

God is so awesome. Thank you for the reminders and encouragement.

[@lolacodina4989]

I love this message and I needed it so much today. Thank you. It’s about the mission not me. That’s wonderful to realize.

[@angelaschultz9356]

Thank you for this video! I’ve been struggling with insecurities as well. Your videos and workouts help me to work past that and be the person God wants me to be. Thanks! ❤

[@joshhoman]

I am painfully familiar with the concepts of insecurity, not knowing entirely who you are and not being accepted as you are, and yes, it can be very difficult to get through at times. I am glad that you were able to find your way through this, and I hope that you have much happiness and success from now on. Be blessed always!

[@livinginjjsworld2782]

“God doesn’t call the equipped , He equips the called “ ❤ in our weakness He will do great things so people will know it was through His strength that it could be done , the thanks be to God for his love and care . By the way ….You are enough ! Because he created you to be enough ❤

The question about , Does one lean towards being heard, or being seen!

[@annaantonenko2032]

So when you wonderful nuggets off wisdom in one video❤

[@daughteroftheonetrueKing]

We aren’t enough, but Jesus is… with Him we can do anything.

[@amilaano1]

Off topic: As a petite, do you think fitted trench coats work best? I just bought a Burberry Chelsea trench coat and I got the one that was truly my size and it fitted nicely even with a sweater underneath. But I can’t help to think that maybe fitted is not the best choice fashion wise?

[@LoversLane16]

haha my boyfriend would have said " I was only crying because I was panicking that I was gonna get arrested for murder if you had died when you fell!! They wouldn't have believed me!"

[@amnakhuu]

Yooo hoooo let’s gooooo

[@sally.g.]

I've recently came to realisation just how fearful I am. It has impacted my whole life, and I want to change. What helps you confronting your fears?

[@bethanyleonardo]

Hi Sally, it’s good to reflect on that. The opposites of fear are power, love, and self-discipline so I try to get perspective on which of these i am not living out by choosing fear.

[@curlysofeya9243]

Nuggets 👌🫶
