This episode explores the difference between survival healing—coping and stabilizing—and alignment healing, which brings clarity, inner peace, and purpose rooted in God’s calling.

Learn the emotional signs and costs of staying in survival mode and get practical, faith-led steps to move forward: slow down to hear God, release survival identities, set boundaries, practice daily grounding, and build supportive community.

Hey friend,

You can love God deeply and still feel stuck. Just because you and a Christian doesn't mean you will always have it all together.

There are many reasons for feeling stuck:

💥 Unprocessed emotions

💥 Old wounds or patterns

💥 Fearing surrender

💥 Trying to heal alone

Today we are digging into some simple tips to getting unstuck, like giving yourself permission, separating faith from avoidance, using reflection prompts and refraining the season just to name a few.

Let's dig in!
