What if the voice limiting your life isn’t truth—but a script you never chose? We open a candid, deeply practical conversation with Dr. Jay Nicole, a psychotherapist and faith-led clinician, on breaking the cycle of limiting beliefs and stepping into a grounded, purpose-led life. Together, we unpack where those beliefs come from—formative years, culture, comparison, and trauma—and why so many of us drift into a spiritual identity crisis that keeps us hustling for worth and starving for rest.

You’ll hear how thoughts become lenses, lenses become habits, and habits become identity if they go unchallenged. We explore cognitive distortions and core beliefs in plain language, then pair them with a faith-forward toolkit: renewing the mind with scripture, praying for wisdom like Solomon, and letting peace be your confirmation when noise crowds out clarity. Dr. Jay shows how therapy and spirituality can complement each other—setting treatment goals alongside spiritual goals, using prayer when requested, and building daily practices that realign mind, body, and spirit.

How to cope with Trauma
“Talk to a few trusted people, open up about your struggle, seek online support groups, read self-help books or practice small acts of self-care such as meditation, breath work, yoga and exercise can help you regain some feeling of control.”

2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, who always causes us to Triumph!

Your body can’t always tell the difference between a painful memory and a present threat—and that’s why a passing thought can hijack your day. We invited educator and creator Larry Hooks to unpack how trauma shapes the nervous system, why triggers feel so immediate, and how simple daily practices can teach your body a safer pattern. From faith-filled self-talk to practical breathwork and boundaries, we map a path out of the loop of alarm toward a steadier, kinder baseline.

Larry shares decades of experience exploring neuroplasticity and the metaphysical aspects of healing, pairing them with Scripture and lived wisdom. We talk about reframing identity from victim to overcomer, why perspective changes physiology, and how to challenge intrusive narratives by speaking truth out loud. You’ll hear concrete ways to spot whether you need a nap or a reset, why Sabbath is a nervous system skill and not a reward, and how dissociation, anxiety, and anger are protection strategies that can be retrained with patience and consistency.

We also get honest about community. Condemnation keeps people stuck; trauma-informed spaces create room for story, listening, and co-regulation. When calm, safe people share the weight of vigilance, your nervous system doesn’t have to hold everything alone. If you’ve wrestled with triggers, doom-thinking, or the guilt of rest, this conversation offers tools that are both spiritual and practical: breath you can count, words you can say, and a lens that helps your body expect good again.
