🌿 Episode Summary

In this deeply personal and spiritually rich episode, Lisa invites listeners into the quiet, courageous work of forgiveness—not as a feeling, but as an act of the will. Building on recent conversations about releasing the victim mindset, she explores what forgiveness is (and isn’t), how it frees us from rehearsing pain, and why it’s not about the offender’s readiness—it’s about our release.

Through the powerful story of Corrie ten Boom and the metaphor of the bell tower, Lisa gently unpacks how forgiveness echoes through our thoughts and emotions, even after we’ve let go. She then bridges spiritual truth with neuroscience, showing how the Mind of Christ is not just a metaphor—it’s a neurological reality.

Whether you’re struggling to forgive or simply weary from carrying the weight of old wounds, this episode offers hope, clarity, and a path forward.

🔑 Key Topics

• What forgiveness is—and what it’s not
• Corrie ten Boom’s bell tower metaphor

🌿 Episode 5: The Framework That Found Me

In this deeply personal episode, Lisa shares a tender chapter of her journey—one that began with mental noise and self-judgment, and unfolded into grace, truth, and healing.

What started as a search for practical health tools led to something far more transformative: a spiritually grounded framework that gave structure to years of biblical truth. Through five gentle movements—listening, looking, leaning, letting go, and loving—Lisa discovered a healing rhythm she didn’t go looking for, but one God had prepared for her.

She also touches on a topic often misunderstood in faith circles: learning to love yourself. With Scripture as her guide, Lisa reframes self-love not as indulgence, but as stewardship—an act of honoring the price Jesus paid.

💬 In this episode:

• How mindset work and spiritual truth intersect
• The quiet cruelty of shame—and how grace speaks louder
• Why loving yourself is not rebellion, but reverence
• A preview of the healing rhythm that changed Lisa’s life

📖 Scripture References:

• John 1:17 – “Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”
• 1 Corinthians 6:20 – “You were bought with a price.”
• Mark 12:31 – “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

💛 Gentle Reminder:

You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re right where you need to be.
This journey is yours to claim.
