Your brain was designed to predict from the past—but God gave you the gift of reason to live in the present. In this episode, I share how old predictions shaped my self-image, how Christ helped me rewrite painful stories, and why it takes courage to step into new beliefs rooted in His love.

Feeling stuck in a difficult relationship? In this episode, learn how to set Christ-centered boundaries that protect your peace without sacrificing your love or values. Discover what toxic behavior really looks like, how to separate the person from the pattern, and why forgiveness doesn’t mean enduring moreharm. There’s a better way—and it starts here.

In this heartfelt episode, I share a personal struggle with a bike that wasn’t working right—and how it mirrors the way we often blame ourselves when things feel hard.

From feeling invisible in social settings to questioning our worth, I explore the common, deeply human experience of not fitting in.

We’ll talk about:

The difference between "fitting in" and "belonging",

How past wounds shape your current beliefs,

The spiritual truth of who you are and why you're needed,

A personal story of connection followed by divine guidance,

And a practical 5-step method of finding belonging when you feel out of place.

By the end of this episode, you will see how you already belong—you are needed, just as you are.

If you’ve ever found yourself overthinking, shutting down, or replaying conversations long after they’ve ended, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. In this episode, I’m sharing why these reactions are actually your nervous system’s way of trying to keep you safe, especially if you’ve experienced emotional neglect, criticism, or felt like your voice didn’t matter. We’ll explore how safety isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, mental, and spiritual—and how disconnection from yourself can lead to cycles of anxiety, people-pleasing, and self-blame. I’ll walk you through how to recognize these trauma responses, why they make sense, and how to gently return to inner safety, truth, and peace.

The voice of shame can often sound like truth with statements like, you should do better, you shouldn't have said that, what's wrong with you, and so forth.

But without the awareness of what shameful thoughts you keep having, you will remain stuck in believing the worst about yourself and become distant from the One true source of truth, your Savior.

In this week’s episode of Take Time to Believe, I’m talking about the sneaky ways shame shows up in our lives—through our thoughts, our habits, and even our physical reactions—and how it disconnects us from the Spirit and the truth of who we really are.

If you're struggling with shameful thoughts, here's a worksheet that will help you take a deeper look so you can practice transforming those thoughts into spiritual truths.

Feeling weighted down by the pressure to do more, to be better but despite your best efforts you'll still only see how you're falling short. Why? Because of how you're defining perfection.

Subconsciously you've created rules of what is required of you to be or do enough and when you're not meeting those expectations then out of habit, your inner critic will remind you of what you're doing wrong.

But it doesn't have to continue this way. In this episode I'll share with you a new way to define perfection that can help alleviate the pressure of being enough and learning to trust that you are always enough.

Experiencing feelings of discomfort when someone is upset, either with you or just in general, is your nervous system feeling dysregulated.

In this episode I'll help you understand why you feel the urge to fix or change how the person feels, needing to defend or explain yourself, or question what you're doing wrong.

And how you can feel better without trying to manage everyone's emotions or punish yourself when your efforts don't work.

The expectation of being loved, of expecting others to love you, can created more heartache than joy in your life.

While God commands us to love, it's not the commandment itself that has causes pain, but the expectation of what love should look like and believing that the people in your life are responsible for you feeling 'loved' or not.

We all have an idea of how we want to be loved, an idea of what we define as loving, but so does God. Tune in to this week's podcast where I share with you the insights God shared with me about love and how to feel more of His love in my life regardless of how others might be showing up.
