072 - Healing also means taking an honest look at the role you play in your own suffering.
In this episode, I share a quote that’s been sitting with me for over two years. A quote that stopped me in my tracks the moment I first read it:
“Healing also means taking an honest look at the role you play in your own suffering.”
That one sentence cracked something open in me. Not because it was easy to hear, but because it was undeniably true.
This isn’t about blame or shame. It’s about freedom. Ownership. Liberation. It’s about asking bold, honest questions like:
“Is this belief actually true?”
“Who told me this about myself?”
“And do I still want to carry that story?”
I reflect on the years I spent performing different versions of myself. Trying to be the daughter, wife, woman, and friend that others expected me to be, all while feeling completely misaligned inside. I share about the retreat that changed everything for me in 2012, when I began asking the question:
“Who does God say that I am?”
That question became the doorway to a year of deep internal reckoning and the beginning of becoming my true self.
This conversation is raw and real. I talk about trauma, limiting beliefs, the lies we absorb from culture and childhood, and how I started breaking free by choosing awareness and responsibility.
If anything in this episode stirred something inside you, I invite you to email me:
Tell me what you’ve always believed about yourself... and whether it might be time to ask, “Is it true?”
Let’s walk this journey together.
Until next time,
Live your life on purpose… fully aligned with who you were created to be.
