In this powerful and poetic solo episode, Todd takes listeners through one of the most passionate and misunderstood books in the Bible — The Song of Solomon.

Through every verse, Todd unpacks what love done right truly means — love that’s rooted in admiration, elevated by purpose, strengthened through challenge, and sealed by God’s design. Whether you’re single, married, divorced, or rediscovering yourself, this episode invites you to see love and yourself through heaven’s lens.

• Song of Solomon 1:2–4 – Love begins with character before chemistry.
• Song of Solomon 2:10–13 – Love calls you higher; winter is never permanent.
• Song of Solomon 2:15 – Catch the “little foxes” before they ruin the vineyard.
• Song of Solomon 3:1–4 – Real love stays through silence and distance.
• Song of Solomon 4:7 – Grace sees beauty beyond flaws.
• Song of Solomon 5:6–8 – Love endures through misunderstanding.
• Song of Solomon 6:3 – Mutual devotion: “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.”
• Song of Solomon 8:6–7 – Real love is unquenchable, unshakable, eternal.

1. Love begins with admiration, not infatuation.
2. Character attracts; chemistry sustains nothing without integrity.
3. Healthy love calls you higher.
4. It lifts you into your next season, not locks you in your last.
5. Protect what’s blooming.
6. Small compromises — the “little foxes” — destroy beautiful things fast.
7. Distance doesn’t define devotion.
8. When love is real, silence becomes the soil for growth, not decay.
9. Grace changes how you see.
10. True love looks through compassion, not comparison.
11. Mature love belongs without controlling.
12. It’s mutual respect and shared purpose, not possession.
13. God’s love is the model.
14. His fire never goes out, no matter how high the waters rise.

• What kind of “fragrance” does your name leave behind?
• Who is God calling you to love higher?
• What “little foxes” are stealing joy from your relationships?
• How can you start loving with grace instead of guarding with fear?
• Where do you need to believe that you are still worthy of unquenchable love?

“Love done right begins with admiration, not infatuation.”

“The right person doesn’t pull you back — they call you higher.”

“Catch the little foxes before they ruin what’s blooming.”

“Love isn’t about ownership; it’s about belonging without control.”

“God’s love is the only fire that never burns out.”

Before the week ends, write down three ways to love better:

1. One for yourself.
2. One for someone close to you.
3. One for God.
4. Love multiplies when it’s practiced with intention.

Love isn’t a feeling you chase — it’s a decision you live.. When it’s done right, it mirrors the heart of God. Because in every season, every chapter, every test…

it all starts with the right intention.

Many of us have learned how to survive. But few of us have been taught how to thrive. In this episode, Todd Tononi walks you through the signs that God is calling you deeper — out of survival mode and into sustainable strength, clarity, and overflow.

From practical rhythms to powerful scripture, you’ll be challenged to release your grip on the shallow waters of familiarity… and move in faith into the depth of your true design.

This is your spiritual permission slip to stop treading water… and start living on purpose.

• Psalm 18:19 (NIV)
• “He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.”
• → God didn’t rescue you to make you small. He delights in you. He makes room for your expansion.
• Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)
• “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
• → Deep living requires letting go of needing all the answers. Trust is the path-maker.
• 2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV)
• “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
• → Your spiritual wiring is for courage, compassion, and clarity — not confusion and timidity.
• Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
• “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
• → God is not recycling the past. He is creating something new, even where you thought life was barren.

• How survival mode still hides in your daily rhythms
• The five signs that you’re ready to thrive
• Why pruning is essential to expansion
• What “deep-end living” looks like practically
• Daily and weekly rhythms that hold the new you

1. What “survival tendencies” am I still operating from — even subconsciously?
2. Where do I feel God calling me deeper — and what’s the resistance?
3. Which of today’s scriptures stirred something in me? What might God be saying through it?
4. What area of my life needs re-alignment to match the new version of me?
5. What step of obedience have I been putting off — and what’s the cost of delay?

This week, choose one of the following and commit:

✅ Spend 10 minutes each morning asking God:

“What am I meant to carry today… and what am I not?”

✅ Meditate on Isaiah 43:19 for seven days. Write it, pray it, speak it aloud. Let it become your lens.

✅ Take one faith-stretching action step you’ve been putting off — no matter how small.

✅ Share this episode with someone who’s outgrown the shallow and needs permission to go deep.

When your healing becomes light for others, how do you make sure it doesn’t dim your own?

In this powerful guest episode, Todd Tononi sits down with Brooke Deanne — trauma-informed healer, RTT practitioner, spiritual mentor, and bestselling author of Shattered, Broken & Beautiful — to explore what it means to hold space for others without betraying yourself.

Together, they dive into spiritual bypassing, codependent caregiving, religious trauma, boundaries, and the journey of coming home to your true identity after being emotionally shattered.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels like they’re the “strong one,” the “empath,” the “emotional anchor” for others… but who secretly needs healing of their own.

Brooke Deanne is known as the Life Goddess Coach — a trauma-informed healer and rapid transformational therapist who specializes in helping women break free from religious conditioning, emotional abuse, and chronic people-pleasing.

Her book, Shattered, Broken & Beautiful: Losing My Religion and Reclaiming My Power, is a bold and deeply vulnerable look at how she broke the silence of religious trauma and found sovereignty, sacred self-expression, and peace on the other side.

• How to hold space without absorbing other people’s pain
• Rebuilding trust in your intuition after spiritual abuse
• Setting energetic boundaries without guilt
• The sacred power of walking away from identities that kept you safe but small
• Why survival is not your final destination — sovereignty is

“You’re allowed to stop being the one who holds it all together for everyone else.” – Brooke Deanne

“Holding space for others must begin with knowing what space God designed for you.” – Todd Tononi

1. Am I confusing spiritual strength with self-sacrifice?
2. Where in my life am I constantly ‘holding space’ without being held?
3. What boundaries have I avoided setting because I fear being unloved or misunderstood?
4. Where is God inviting me to reclaim my voice or my power?
5. What part of my healing journey have I yet to fully own?
