In this deeply intimate conversation, Nadine Maldonado host of The Belief Effect joins Elle White of The Feminine Warrior to explore what happens when the ego begins to loosen its grip and who we become when we finally surrender.

This episode is an honest dialogue about ego death, identity, grief, people-pleasing, and the quiet work of healing that happens when the applause stops. Together, we unpack how external validation, control, and survival masks can shape our lives, and how releasing them opens the door to peace, discernment, and self-trust.

You’ll hear reflections on:

• Recognizing ego beyond arrogance as control, validation, and fear
• Healing through shadow work, forgiveness, and self-inquiry
• Learning to say no without guilt
• Rebuilding trust with yourself after loss, divorce, and identity shifts
• Reconnecting with the feminine through self-love, embodiment, and presence
• Faith, surrender, and aligning with who you were always meant to be

This is not a conversation about “fixing yourself.”
It’s about remembering who you are beneath the masks.

✨ If you’re in a season of letting go, starting over, or choosing yourself for the first time this episode is for you.

Time is often called a healer, but what if that isn’t true?

In this deeply personal and faith-centered episode, Nadine explores the truth behind healing, grief, and trauma, and why time alone does not heal wounds. Drawing from real-life experience, biblical wisdom, and reflections from her book Lemon Seeds, she unpacks how pain lingers when it’s avoided, and how true healing begins when we intentionally engage with our story.

This episode speaks directly to anyone who feels stuck, emotionally exhausted, or confused about why something that happened years ago still hurts today. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and practical action steps, Nadine invites listeners to stop waiting for time to fix what only truth, faith, and courage can heal.

If you’ve ever felt like life is moving too fast, your healing is taking too long, or your heart is carrying more than it should, this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

• Why time doesn’t heal trauma, heartbreak, or grief
• How faith and intention transform pain
• What the Bible really says about time and healing
• Practical steps to heal emotionally and spiritually
• How to steward your time instead of surviving it

This episode is an invitation to slow down, face what hurts, and allow God to redeem what feels wasted.

Are you a woman who feels pulled toward multiple callings, motherhood, business, ministry, personal growth, creativity, yet constantly battles the thought, “I can’t do all of this”?

In this powerful, faith-filled episode, Nadine Maldonado breaks down the lie that Christian women are “doing too much” and reveals the biblical truth about multi-dimensional callings. Through Scripture, practical insight, and real-life examples, this episode shows you how God equips women to lead in their homes, careers, relationships, and spiritual lives all at the same time.

You’ll learn what the Bible says about your identity, your capacity, and your purpose, and why the enemy tries so hard to make you doubt yourself. Nadine also shares how to recognize seasonal grace, how to align your gifts with God’s timing, and how to walk boldly in every lane He has prepared for you.

Whether you're building a business, writing a book, stepping into ministry, or simply trying to balance everyday life, this episode will remind you that:
You’re not too much.
You were created for “good works” ( plural).
You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Your calling is not random it is strategic, intentional, and God-ordained.

This is the perfect episode for Christian women, faith-driven entrepreneurs, moms with big dreams, and anyone who wants to grow closer to Jesus while pursuing their God-given purpose.
