TRANSCRIPT [0:00 - 1:30] THE PROPHETIC OPENING Host: "Welcome back. Today, I’m speaking to the person who feels like they’ve reached the end of their supply. You’re in a desert season, and the water in your bottle has run out. You’re looking at your dreams, your business, or your children, and you’re whispering, 'I can’t watch this die.' As your coach and as a student of the Word, I want to tell you: The provision you are crying for isn't coming—it’s already there. You just can’t see it yet. Today, we’re looking at Hagar and Abraham to unlock the spiritual sight required to see your 'Well' and your 'Ram.'" [1:30 - 4:30] SECTION 1: HAGAR – THE BLINDNESS OF PANIC (Genesis 21) Host: "Let’s look at Hagar in Genesis 21. She’s cast out. She’s in the desert of Beersheba. The Bible says she tucked her son, Ishmael, under a bush because she couldn’t bear to watch him die. She was sobbing. She was in a state of total nervous system collapse—survival mode at its peak. Prophetically, notice this: God hears the boy crying. He speaks to Hagar and says, 'What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid.' And then, Genesis 21:19 says, 'Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water.' The Coaching Insight: The well didn't suddenly materialize out of thin air when she stopped crying. The well was likely there the whole time. But fear has a physiological and spiritual effect—it narrows your vision. Panic creates a 'scarcity blind spot.' You are so busy mourning the empty bottle in your hand that you cannot see the overflowing well at your feet. Is God not providing, or are you just too afraid to look up? I prophecy over you today: Your eyes are being opened. The 'Well' in your desert is about to be revealed." [4:30 - 7:30] SECTION 2: ABRAHAM – THE POSTURE OF FAITH (Genesis 22) Host: "Now, let’s pivot to a different mountain. Genesis 22. Abraham is walking up Moriah with Isaac—the son he waited 25 years for. Isaac, being a smart kid, asks the million-dollar question: 'Father, the fire and wood are here, but where is the lamb?' Abraham’s response is the ultimate masterclass in faith. He doesn't vent his anxiety. He doesn't complain about the 'unfairness' of the test. He says: 'God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.' The Theological Depth: Abraham wasn't lying to Isaac; he was speaking from a place of 'Postured Faith.' He knew that the God who gave the promise was responsible for the provision. He walked all the way to the point of no return—he actually raised the knife—before the intervention happened. And what happened? He looked up, and there, caught in a thicket, was a ram. The Lesson: For Hagar, the provision was a Well (sustenance for the journey). For Abraham, the provision was a Ram (a substitute for the sacrifice). God ...

TRANSCRIPT The Silent Move: Why Your Calling Sometimes Needs a “Ghost Era” I know you're busy with family this Christmas, but save this episode/video for your quiet 'ghost era' moments. There’s a part of the Christmas story we don’t really talk about. And it has nothing to do with carols, decorations, or a peaceful manger. Let’s sit with Matthew chapter 2 for a moment — not in a churchy way, but in a real-life way. This part of the story isn’t romantic. It’s not soft. It’s about purpose under pressure. Not every season of your life is meant to be loud. Not every move needs to be announced. And not every chapter needs an audience. Some of the most important shifts you will ever make will happen quietly. The Bible tells us the Wise Men followed a star. People can debate theology, science, symbolism — but let’s bring it home. That star represents direction. Calling. A sense that your life matters. You have that too. You might not call it a “calling.” Maybe you call it a dream. A pull. A knowing. A restlessness that won’t let you settle for survival. And here’s what no one really prepares you for: The moment your star starts shining — even just a little — someone notices. Enter Herod. Herod wasn’t curious. He was threatened. He didn’t ask about Jesus because he wanted to honour Him. He asked because your growth threatens insecure systems. Your healing disrupts fragile power. Your clarity exposes dysfunction. And the danger isn’t always obvious at first. Sometimes it comes disguised as interest. As concern. As support. Herod asked questions long before he showed his rage. And that’s real life, isn’t it? Not everyone asking about your plans is rooting for you. Now here’s the part that really gets me. The Wise Men sensed something wasn’t right — and they didn’t confront Herod. They didn’t explain themselves. They didn’t send a long message. They simply… went another way. No drama. No speech. No need to clear the air. They trusted their discernment. Some of the tension you’ve been feeling lately? The weird energy? The distance that suddenly feels necessary? It’s not because you’re cold. It’s because you’re learning discernment. And when Herod realised he’d lost control, he reacted violently. That matters. Because not everyone shows their true intentions when things are calm. Some people only reveal who they are when they realise they can’t control you anymore. Then there’s Joseph. And ...

If you need immediate support, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional. TRANSCRIPT Survival mode can quietly hijack your faith, cloud your clarity, and distort your moral compass. When your nervous system stays dysregulated, it constantly sounds danger alarms—leaving you anxious, reactive, and spiritually disconnected. Learning to recognise and trust those internal signals, without letting fear take the lead, is the first step toward emotional regulation, spiritual discernment, and lasting peace.” In this episode, we’re opening the Bible—not for a traditional theology lesson, but for a raw, psychological look at a hero running on fumes: King David, specifically in 1 Samuel chapter 27. This isn't the David of Goliath; this is David running on exhaustion, making flawed choices, and yet, still being covered by God's sovereign grace. We're talking about the painful reality of survival mode and how it can hijack your faith, your clarity, and your moral compass. Let's look at the truth about Saul. In this chapter, David says to himself, “I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul.” Now, this statement wasn't theological; it was motivated by his exhaustion. But listen to the key insight: his intuition—that deep internal knowing—was right about Saul's intentions. Our intuition is often God's compass for guidance, especially when our analytical mind is spinning from stress. When you are constantly disregulated, your nervous system shouts warnings. Learning to trust that inner voice, even when you're afraid, is the first step toward reclaiming your peace. Because he was so desperate for refuge, David moved far away, seeking safety with Achish, the Philistine. Now, think about the irony here. Sometimes, the safety and validation we desperately need comes from an unexpected source—even someone we might consider an "enemy" or an outsider—while the people who should protect us (like Saul, his father-in-law, in your case that can be your father, your mother, sister, brother, friend can become the very source of our harm. This is validation for the listener who has had to create a chosen family because their biological one was toxic. God can use anyone, anywhere, to be the shield you need in a season of intense fear. However, this desperation leads to compromise. The Bible tells us that David deceived Achish, raiding the Amalekites but claiming he was attacking his own people in Judah. This is the ugly truth of survival mode. When we are fighting for our lives, our character often takes a hit. We do things we never thought we would do—deceive, manipulate, cut corners—just to stay afloat. I want to affirm the listener: If you’ve made compromises out of desperation, you are not alone. David, the "man after God's own heart," was there too. Acknowledge the lapse without letting shame consume YOU....

That’s the reality for so many women in emotionally one-sided marriages — and that’s exactly what we’re diving into today. Welcome back, beautiful sisters. Last week, we exposed the silent ache of being married but emotionally abandoned. We talked about detaching with wisdom… not to escape the marriage, but to stop losing yourself inside it. But detaching is only step one. Today, we step into the deeper work — the rebuilding, the reclaiming, the rising. Because if you don’t do this inner work, you’ll swing between emotional extremes… shutting down, acting out, or even walking away from a marriage that still has potential. Before we go further, let’s pause with compassion. Most emotionally unavailable husbands aren’t cruel — they’re unequipped. Many come from families with blurred boundaries, enmeshment, or emotional silence. They’ve never learned how to tune into their own feelings, let alone yours. Haven said that… his journey is his responsibility. Your journey is yours. And today, we’re talking about your healing. Key 1: Stop Circling — Prioritise Your Healing I say this with love and authority as a marriage counsellor: Press pause on couples therapy. Why? Because when you’re detaching, couples therapy can keep you trapped in the same loop — waiting for him to “get it,” hoping he’ll finally validate you, trying to change someone who is not emotionally ready. Right now, the work is INWARD. This is the season to heal the original wounds: 🩶 rejection 🩶 abandonment 🩶 unworthiness 🩶 the grief of not being met emotionally This is where your power starts to rise. Key 2: Guard Your Heart (Yes — This Is Spiritual Warfare) Sis, your marriage may feel like the battleground, but your heart is the actual target. When emotional intimacy breaks with our lovers -our husbands, women often start questioning everything — their identity, their lovability, even their faith. The enemy wants your confidence. Your hope. Your purpose. Your Calling. Your gifts. Your spiritual clarity. But the war is won through simple, consistent practices: ✨ honest prayer ✨ grounding meditation ✨ daily declarations over your future ✨ choosing truth over emotional chaos Guarding your heart is wisdom. ✨ Quick Pause — A Message for the Woman Feeling Lost If you’ve been stuck in that exhausting cycle of explaining yourself… crying silently… feeling invisible… and you’re ready for REAL healing, I want to invite you into my Emotional Healing For Christian Women’s group This is where we break the patterns, rebuild your identity, and restore your peace. If that tug in your chest is saying “I need this,” follow it. The link is in the description. 💛 Now…...

If you need immediate support, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional. TRANSCRIPT Title: Understanding Loneliness in Marriage: Navigating Emotional Unavailability Introduction: In today's episode of the Emotional Healing for Women podcast, I unpacked a profound yet often unspoken struggle—feeling lonely within a marriage. Many women find themselves married but emotionally isolated, especially when their spouses are emotionally unavailable. In this episode, we’ll explore this issue, drawing insights from the podcast to provide understanding and actionable steps for those grappling with this painful experience. Main Content: Section 1: The Reality of Emotional Loneliness The podcast opens with a powerful statement: "You can be married and lonely." This resonates with many who experience emotional disconnection in their marriages. Mav emphasizes that emotional loneliness is not merely physical solitude but a deep sense of being unseen and unheard by one’s partner. This feeling can lead to confusion and self-doubt, particularly when one spouse feels neglected or invalidated by the other. Section 2: The Impact of Enmeshment A significant factor contributing to emotional unavailability is enmeshment within family dynamics. Mav explains that individuals from enmeshed families often struggle with blurred boundaries, making it hard to separate their emotional needs from those of their family members. This can lead to a spouse being emotionally occupied by unresolved family issues, resulting in their inability to connect with their partner. For example, first-born children often take on caregiving roles, which can diminish their ability to recognize and articulate their own emotional needs. Section 3: The Cycle of Emotional Avoidance The podcast highlights how emotionally unavailable husbands may not even recognize their avoidance. Mav points out that many individuals learn to navigate relationships without true emotional intimacy, leading to patterns of invalidation. This can leave the lonely spouse feeling dismissed, as one listener recounted, "My husband would just say, no, that’s all in your head." This dismissal can create a cycle where the wife feels increasingly isolated and confused. Section 4: The Consequences of Emotional Neglect Mav discusses the toll that emotional neglect can take on a woman's mental and physical health. Chronic stress from feeling invalidated can lead to various health issues, including fatigue and anxiety. Furthermore, many women may find that past emotional wounds resurface in their current relationships, especially if they grew up with emotionally unavailable parent figures, which can lead to heightened feelings of abandonment and rejection. Section 5: Taking Action Towards Healing Despite the challenges, Mav encourages listeners to take ...

If you need immediate support, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional. TRANSCRIPT Mav: Hey, hey, hey, welcome everyone. Today's show is going to be very exciting and I'm already pumped up to hear everything about the high functioning processing. And with me today on the show is Ibinye. Ibinye is back today. Ibinye, thank you so much for coming in again. Mav: Ibinye Oyali is a licensed marriage and family therapist, as well as a coach for highly sensitive women. As a coach, she helps women manage big emotions, stand up by themselves, by certain healthy boundaries, and finally stop people pleasing. And as a therapist, her practice focuses on anxiety, insomnia, and couples' relationships. Mav: She works with high achieving women who struggle with anxiety and the need to take care of everyone else. She helps couples learn how to communicate better, create a stronger connection and resolve conflicts faster. Finally, she helps people with insomnia quickly fall asleep and stay asleep without pills or drastically changing their lifestyle. I think that is really holistic. Mav: Welcome, Ibiya. Thank you so much for having me back, Marvel. So today we're going to discuss, as I introduced earlier, the highly functioning pressing. Ibiya, please tell me, in your own expertise and experience and clinical observations, who would you say is a highly functioning pressing? So in my practice, Mav: I like to call them the super responsible member of the family. That's how I like to describe them. So the one person that everybody can turn to, whether at work, even at home, because it bleeds from the home to the workplace to friendships. The one person everybody calls when they need help, the one person who organizes everything, she is like the center of everybody's world. Mav: She takes care of everyone even before taking care of her own self. So that is how I would describe the high functioning person. Interesting. The go-to person who seems to be able to focus on what other people's needs are and helping them meet it most likely would be prioritizing their needs last. Yes, exactly. Sometimes they don't even know that they have needs. Mav: dear, wow. So what I'm imagining the highly functioning person would be would probably be, is it when they have really just burnt off or shut down, then they are now forced to confront their own needs, emotional needs in particular? Yes. So they get to a point where they're feeling completely overwhelmed. Mav: The burden on ...

I’m Marvel, your Christian Coach, and today we are spilling the tea on a topic that is absolute gospel for your love life. I’ve been deep in the pages of one of my favourite books, and it unlocked a powerful truth we absolutely need to internalize before anyone walks down an aisle: Marriage does not complete you; it complements you. Say it with me: Complement, not complete. For too long, the narrative—especially for Christian women—has been that "I Do" is the finish line, the moment you finally become whole. But that vibe check is completely off. If you walk into a marriage with an incomplete self, you’re not looking for a partner; you're looking for a saviour. And that sets you up for a toxic relationship. Today, we’re doing the inner work. We’re identifying the 7 luminous requirements of character and emotional maturity you need to be rocking before you even think about accepting that ring. This is your definitive pre-marital advice checklist for building a healthy relationship. If you’re a young woman in your twenties, thirties, or forties, listen up. Your self-love journey starts right now. THE RESCUER TRAP: WHEN INCOMPLETENESS INVITES CONTROL We all know this scenario, and maybe—just maybe—you’ve lived it. When you haven't done the deep inner self-work—when you still struggle with low self-image or a pervasive lack of assertiveness—you enter the dating pool with massive emotional needs. You might still be desperately seeking the validation of your parents, even though you are a grown woman with a grown-up life. This unmet need makes you a magnet for a specific type of partner: the rescuer. He steps in and seems to fill every void. He tells you what to wear, handles all the decisions, and at first, that structure feels safe. He seems like the savior you didn't have growing up, maybe the structure you missed from your father. You think, "Wow, he’s so decisive and protective!" But fast-forward a year into marriage, and that "savior" quickly pivots. He's not rescuing you; he is controlling you. He takes advantage of your low self-image and your lack of boundaries. What started as "protection" becomes isolation. What felt like "decisiveness" turns into domineering behavior. If you don't deal with the root issues of low self-worth and unexpressed opinion now, you risk marrying a controlling husband. To build a truly luminous relationship, you must first be a luminous individual.
