It was the middle of the night. My husband was traveling. I was alone with the kids, and I woke up to the loudest noise. My heart was pounding. Adrenaline spiking. I was already mentally planning how to grab all three kids and escape out a window before whoever was in my house could get to us.

Except… nobody was in my house.

It was the ice maker. 😅

And that story? It's the perfect picture of what our minds do to us every single day, and most of us don't even realize it.

In this episode, I'm giving you a mini psychology class the way I teach it to my students at the Faith Based Coaching Academy and in my speaking engagements — simple, powerful, and life-changing. Because once you understand HOW your thoughts work, you can stop being a victim of them and start being the author of your own story.

WHAT I'M TEACHING IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why a thought is just a sentence, and sentences only have the power YOU give them

• How limiting beliefs are formed (and why your well-meaning parents, teachers, and surroundings may have accidentally built some for you)

• What confirmation bias is doing to your mind RIGHT NOW without you knowing it

• The mind-body connection: why your body physically reacts to things that aren't even real

• What a self-fulfilling prophecy actually looks like in a real relationship, and how it can destroy something beautiful

• Why the subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between truth and fantasy (and what that means for YOU)

• My 3 P's of Affirmations: the exact formula I use to make affirmations actually WORK

• How to go from "I'm not good enough" to creating a reality that reflects who God says you are

MY INVITATION TO YOU:

Take out a piece of paper right now. Write down the sentences, the thoughts, that have been running on repeat in your mind that are NOT serving you. The "I'm not good enough." The "I'll never succeed." The "He's going to leave." The "I'm too much" or "I'm not enough."

Now write the affirmation that replaces it. Present. Positive. Powerful. Repeat it until it becomes your new truth. Because with God all things are possible, and I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. That's not just a nice verse. That's a sentence worth automating. 💛
