Join host Jennifer Bosma and guest Katherine Lanning as they dig into the root causes that can interrupt a woman’s true identity in Christ and walk listeners through practical steps toward lasting healing. This episode explores what it looks like to move from surface-level behavior change to a deep, internal transformation grounded in 2 Corinthians 5:17.

Katherine Lanning, a Christian occupational therapist, ministry leader, and founder of Transformed for Life, shares her background—balancing school-based and private OT work, leading Bible studies, and creating resources to help women integrate physical, mental, and spiritual health. She explains how past trauma, shame, and unmet needs can keep women stuck and why the right view of God is essential to healing.

Topics covered include identifying how childhood experiences shape how we see God, the importance of surrendering shame to Jesus, examples from Scripture (the prodigal son, the woman at the well, Mary Magdalene) that illustrate God’s compassionate response, and how truth from Scripture creates the safety needed for honest inner work.

Katherine offers practical, actionable advice for busy moms: prioritize time with the Lord, even in small pockets of the day; weave Scripture and worship into routine tasks; listen to audio Bible resources; and cultivate community—your “mat carriers”—to help bring you to Jesus. She also encourages seeking qualified Christian counselors or therapists when deeper processing is needed, as well as examining physical health and lifestyle factors that may affect emotional well-being.

Listeners will hear hands-on tips like delegating tasks, exploring local church women’s ministries and Bible studies (including childcare options), and taking the first brave steps toward rebuilding relationships with God and others. The conversation highlights realistic ways to create space for spiritual renewal amid the busyness of motherhood.
