In this week’s episode Brendt Blanks shares how so many of us, especially moms, wrestle with thoughts that aren’t true. And if we’re not careful, those thoughts become beliefs. Brendt helps us learn how to pause, notice, and replace those lies with God’s truth, and her insight is incredibly freeing.

Here are a few things we talk about:

• How to recognize and disrupt negative thought cycles

• Why scripture and worship are powerful tools for mental renewal

• What it looks like to replace cultural lies with biblical truth

• The importance of grace when change feels hard or slow

This episode is full of practical steps and hopeful reminders and I hope it feels like a deep breath for your soul today.

Brendt spent 17 years as a licensed marriage and family therapist before stepping into her new role as an author and content creator. Her debut book, Listen Closer: Believing God's Truth Over the World's Lies, invites women to quiet the noise of the world and tune in to the voice of God. She’s passionate about helping others understand their worth, embrace truth, and live with freedom.
