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.

In this episode of The Belief Effect, Nadine unpacks a powerful revelation inspired by Jim Rohn’s classic quote “You’re not a plant; if you don’t like something, move”and a timely message from her pastor: “We’re called to be planted, not potted.”

This conversation goes deep into the tension we all feel in seasons of transition:
Are you living in a pot that’s too small for who you’re becoming?
Or is God calling you to plant yourself in new soil so your next level can finally grow?

Nadine shares raw, honest stories from her own journey divorce, rebuilding her life, closing her business, and learning how to release the identities that no longer fit. She breaks down why so many of us stay “potted” in mindsets, relationships, and environments that limit us… and what it truly means to become planted with intention, faith, and identity rooted in Jesus Christ.

If you’ve been feeling stretched… restless… or like you’ve outgrown your old life, this episode will help you see the truth:

You’re not stuck. You’re being invited.
You’re not buried. You’re being planted.
And the identity you’re releasing is making space for the woman you were always created to become.

Perfect for anyone in a season of transition, growth, or spiritual realignment.

In this episode of The Belief Effect, Nadine dives deep into the limiting beliefs that hold so many women back from the life Jesus created them to live. She opens up about a 25-year journey of unbelief — the quiet doubts, the hidden fears, and the stories she told herself that kept her playing small.
Through raw reflection and powerful truth, Nadine shares how she broke free from those beliefs and stepped into abundance, confidence, and purpose.
If you’re ready to challenge the lies you’ve believed about yourself and start walking boldly in who you were created to be, this episode will shift you.
