Some friendships aren’t meant to follow you into your next season—and if you’ve been wrestling with why certain people are falling away or why old “healing” modalities no longer feel aligned, this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my personal pruning season and what it looked like to fully walk away from New Age, New Thought, and occult-adjacent practices—even the ones I once thought were “healing.” This is a raw, Spirit-led conversation about deliverance, identity, spiritual warfare, and the often painful, always worth-it act of obedience.

• What it looks like to prune relationships that are no longer aligned with your Kingdom assignment
• The hidden danger in “good” things that aren’t God things
• Why New Age and self-healing tools keep you in cycles of confusion, not freedom
• How to recognize when fear of loneliness or rejection is keeping you disobedient
• The truth about spiritual exposure—and what it costs to stay in bondage
• The five core reminders God taught me through this pruning process
• What happens when you finally let go of the wrong people—and make room for the right ones

✨ I’m not just sharing theory—I’m testifying. If you’ve been holding on to people, practices, or patterns God is asking you to surrender, it’s time. Deliverance is not a fringe concept—it’s the biblical gateway to clarity, peace, and real transformation.

Final reminder:

Clarity doesn’t come from comfort. It comes from surrender and obedience.

We talk a lot about healing in today’s world — but too many believers are unknowingly clinging to their pain like a badge of honor. And the truth is? That pain has become an idol. In this episode, I’m exposing how trauma becomes a false identity, why it keeps you stuck, and how to finally break the cycles that are blocking your clarity, joy, and freedom in Christ.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

• Why trauma becomes a “trophy” we dust off and display — instead of letting God dissolve it
• The uncomfortable truth about victimhood and how it masquerades as strength
• What it means to idolize your pain (and how the enemy feeds on it)
• 5 practical, biblical steps to break free from emotional strongholds
• How trauma keeps you spiritually deaf to the voice of God
• Why “he can’t speak louder than your distractions” is your wake-up call
• The power of repentance, Holy Spirit filling, and daily discipline as a form of spiritual warfare
• What true freedom looks like when you finally burn the identity built on pain

Takeaways:

You don’t need more coping tools.

You need to drop the baton the enemy beat you with—and stop running his race.

Freedom starts when you stop claiming what God already nailed to the cross.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re circling the same mountain again and again—this episode is for you.

Because the truth is, you’re not confused. You’re just divided.

You keep saying you’re waiting on God… but deep down, you’re still clutching your backup plan.

In this episode, I unpack one of the most confronting (and freeing) sections of Scripture—James 1:2–8 (NLT)—and share how this passage flipped my habits, healed my motherhood, and helped me finally stop stalling.

Here’s what we cover:

• 🔁 The difference between a hard season… and a cycle you keep choosing
• 🔊 Why God won’t shout over your distractions
• 🍽️ The nacho story (yep, I said what I said) and what it taught me about obedience
• 🤯 How cravings, procrastination, and emotional rollercoasters are actually signs of spiritual double-mindedness
• 🧠 Why “self-help” is often just self-worship dressed up as healing
• ✝️ What surrender actually looks like in real life… and how it unlocks clarity
• 💡 And the question God asked me in one of my darkest moments that I’ll never forget

Takeaway?

You’re not lacking wisdom. You’re lacking surrender.

And clarity doesn’t come from control—it comes from trust.

Let’s break the cycle. God’s not silent.

He’s just waiting for you to stop negotiating what He already said.
