KEYWORDS: #HopeAhead, #FaithJourney, #RoutineMatters, #SpiritualGrowth, #HealingPath, #PrayerPower, #VisionRestored, #PositiveMindset, #EmbraceChange, #ReflectiveJournaling TRANSCRIPT “Their best days are not behind.” Hey — I want you to sit with that for a second. Say it out loud if you need to: Their best days are not behind. Now let me say it to you directly: Your best days are not behind you. Not even close. I’m Marvel Adeyemi. I’m a therapist and a Christian coach. I talk to women who’ve been disappointed, let down, or hurt — sometimes by people, sometimes by life itself. I also work with women who feel their dreams have stalled. Here’s the truth I want you to hear today: disappointment is real, but it is not the final chapter. There is a path forward. Proverbs 4:18 says, “The path of the righteous shines brighter and brighter until the full light of day.” That image matters — it’s gradual, steady, and it gets brighter. Your life can do the same. This is a short, practical message about keeping hope when things go wrong, and how routines, exercise, prayer and Scripture can help you return to the blueprint God gave you — your vision, your calling, your next season. Why hope feels fragile — and why it isn’t gone When disappointment lands — a relationship that failed, a job that collapsed, a door that slammed — your inner world shrinks. Things that once felt possible become heavy. That’s normal. The problem is not feeling hurt. The problem is staying stuck in the hurt. Hope is not denial. Hope is a posture. It’s a choice to open your hands to what God might still do. It’s also practical. You don’t wait for hope to appear like magic. You build conditions where hope grows. Routines are the scaffolding of hope Here’s the most practical thing: routine matters. When life breaks, your nervous system can feel chaotic. Routine is a small, reliable anchor. It re-teaches your body and brain that life can be predictable again. That predictability invites calm. Calm opens space for hope. Start tiny. I mean tiny. Pick two simple things and do them every day at roughly the same time: 5 minutes of breathwork or prayer first thing.10 minutes of journaling each evening — write one thing that went ok. That’s your minimum. Don’t skip it because you feel “too tired” or “not worthy.” Consistency beats intensity. A steady, tiny routine teaches your body that you can be safe again. Once those small habits stick, they give you the energy and clarity to reach for your bigger blueprint — that vision God gave you. How routines reconnect you to your life blueprint Remember the vision you had — the career idea, the family dream, the ministry stirring in your heart? Trauma and disappointment don’t erase vision. They bury it under survival behaviours. Routine is the shovel that uncovers it. A practical map: Morning: 10 minutes quiet time (Bible + prayer). Ask one question: What step today honours that vision?Midday: A short ...

If you need immediate support, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional. TRANSCRIPT Mav: Child of God, hear me out. I've seen a lot of young people leaving the church, leaving their faith. As a therapist, I've supported many through spiritual abuse and religious trauma. Now, I'm a believer in Christ, so I can speak about your faith in Christ and the church trauma some have experienced. If you've experienced church trauma, chances are you might have also faced childhood abuse or neglect. From my clinical observation, people with untreated trauma often gravitate towards highly structured institutions or communities. These structures provide a sense of grounding and survival. But as you heal, you might realize you don't want to stay in such a controlling environment. Leaving these communities can be re-traumatizing, but it's okay to step away. Mav: There's a local church assembly where you go for fellowship, hear the word of God, volunteer, and form connections. Then there's the universal church, which knows no borders, race, or gender. It's the church you belong to when you receive Jesus as your Savior. While you may leave your local assembly, don't leave your faith in Jesus. Your faith is personal. Paul said, "I bear on me the mark of our Lord Jesus Christ." Your faith in Jesus is personal and not tied to what others did or didn't do. Jesus died for you, and His blood brings you value. Don't cast away your confidence in Jesus because of misunderstandings at the local church. Mav: The devil knows the value of your faith. You can trust God for a job, a good marriage, and wonderful things through Jesus' name. The blood of Jesus gives you authority on earth. Don't drop your faith for anyone. They didn't die for you; Jesus did. If you've experienced trauma, neglect, or abuse, you need your faith. Your healing is spiritual, not just psychological. I can talk about psychological techniques, but I choose a faith-based approach. Your faith is crucial, and the devil knows it. Whatever disappointment or hurt you face, seek therapy with a trauma-informed therapist. But don't leave your faith behind. Mav: It's okay to step away from a local assembly while you heal. We're blessed in this generation with access to the word of God through YouTube and Christian apps. Your faith has cash and social values. Wherever you are, make sure your first connection is to Jesus. Stay there. I'm going to pray with you before I leave. Mav: Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray for every heart that might be broken, disappointed, rejected, or abandoned, especially those who've experienced trauma. I pray that you heal every heart and strengthen them in these last days. Keep your faith in Jesus. Thank you, Father, in Jesus' name, amen. Take care, stay confident, stay beautiful. Until next time.

TRANSCRIPT 🎙️ Podcast Episode 35: CHRISTIAN DATING: HOW TO HEAL FIRST AND ATTRACT LASTING LOVE Intro (0:00 – 1:00) “You can binge every dating podcast or you tube video. You can read about attachment styles. You can point out red flags like a pro. But insight isn’t the same as healing. Real healing isn’t just in your head — it’s in your body, your heart, your nervous system. It’s learning how to calm your anxiety, regulate your emotions, and actually sit with your pain without numbing it away with busyness, food, or even ministry. When you start doing this deeper work, love gets less confusing. Friendships feel lighter. Dating feels less like survival and more like discovery. That’s when you know you’re healing Let’s be real — dating is hard. Like, really hard. And if you’ve ever experienced abuse, neglect, or even just grown up in a home where relationships weren’t healthy, dating becomes more than just hard — it feels like warfare. Friendships are harder. Loneliness hits deeper. You might feel like everyone else is moving forward socially — they’re in relationships, they’re making friends, they’re getting married — and you’re still stuck repeating patterns that go nowhere. And if that’s you, I just want you to know: nothing is wrong with you. You’re not broken. But there may be emotional gaps that need healing. And today, we’re going to talk about why that happens — and more importantly, what you can actually do about it.” Segment 1 – Why Love Feels Hard After Wounds (1:00 – 3:00) “When you’ve grown up with trauma, rejection, or neglect, here’s the truth: you didn’t get a model for healthy love. So your nervous system — your whole emotional map — doesn’t know what safe love looks like. Instead, it looks for what’s familiar. And sometimes familiar means unsafe. That’s why you might notice patterns like: 👉 Constantly ending up with emotionally unavailable people. 👉 Struggling to keep friendships alive. 👉 Feeling anxious, always waiting for someone to leave. 👉 Or being so guarded that nobody ever really gets close. And if you’ve been asking yourself: ‘Why can’t I make this work? Why do I keep choosing the wrong people?’ The answer is simple but deep — emotional wounds shape attraction.” Segment 2 – Knowing Isn’t Healing (3:00 – 5:00) “You can binge every dating podcast. You can read about attachment styles. You can point out red flags like a pro. But insight isn’t the same as healing. Real healing isn’t just in your head — it’s in your body, your heart, your nervous system. It’s learning how to calm your anxiety, regulate your emotions, and actually sit with your pain without numbing it away with busyness, food, or even ministry. When you start doing this deeper work, love gets less confusing. Friendships feel lighter. Dating feels less like survival and more like discovery. That’s when you know you’re healing.” Segment 3 – The Process That Changes Everything (5:00 – 7:30) “So what does it actually take?

If you need immediate support, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional. Transcript: Today we're going to be discussing an important topic that I title "Understanding the Stages of Relationship." How to Define Your New Relationship, especially for those who have just exited an abusive relationship. As a relationship and couple therapist, I frequently encounter clients who are re-entering relationships and often find themselves in a disappointing state or start experiencing what I call ambivalence in their relationship. What I usually ask is, what is the status of your new relationship? Their responses are often uncertain. Are you husbands or wives or boyfriends or living lovers? Often, they don't know the next stage of their relationship. Meanwhile, they have become sexually and emotionally intimate. They have pooled resources to make investments in properties, buy pets, and generally live like a couple without establishing the necessary structure for the success of their relationship. So if you've just ended an abusive relationship or you've experienced family of origin trauma, you are more vulnerable than those who have not. Therefore, it is crucial to take your romantic relationships more seriously and don't treat them casually, particularly if you're over 30 years or you feel like you don't have time to waste on relationships going nowhere. Relationships are complicated and they require patience, understanding, and effective communication skills to maintain that healthy connection with your partner. Research shows that when individuals take their time before re-entering romantic relationships, they are more likely to have successful long-term relationships. By taking time to know who you're getting involved with, you better understand your values, their values, their beliefs, and goals, and that helps you to determine if you're compatible and if your relationship has the potential to last. Also, when you take your time before entering a romantic relationship, it helps you prioritize your own needs and ensures that while you're going into that new relationship, you're going in for the right reasons and you're not just feeling pressured to do so. Let's discuss the different stages of a relationship. Number one, we all know is romantic attraction. Wow, is that first time you meet someone, you're drawn to their physical appearance, their personality, or other traits. It's during this stage, it's important that you're aware of your own feelings and you communicate them openly with your partner. You might have doubts or fears about entering a relationship, but take the time to explore those feelings and discuss them in your interactions. If you're finding this video helpful, please give it a thumbs up, comment below with your thoughts, and don't forget to subscribe to my channel for more insightful content. Your support means the world to me. Also, I do provide Zoom or online consultations. You can visit my website, wholesomecounseling.com, and book a consultation if you need help. All right, let's discuss the second stage, which is the stage of romance. Here is where the relationship starts to deepen and become more intimate. Couples begin to explore each other's personalities, their values, and beliefs through what I call self-disclosing conversation. It's that time you express your feelings more openly and you engage in activities that ...
