Send us Fan MailYou read the books. You went to therapy. You journaled, processed, grew, and did everything the personal development world told you to do. And something is still missing. Not because the work was wrong. Because there is a question underneath all of it that none of it could answer. Am I actually known by something larger than all of this? This episode is for the woman who has tried everything available and still feels like one piece is not quite in place. What changed when the Bible stopped being something she circled from a distance and became something she actually opened. And what it says about who she is that nothing else could tell her.Here is the free guide mentioned on today's episode: The Story She Keeps Telling Herself. It is a truth-and-lie finder for the woman who is ready to stop believing everything the middle has told her about who she is and who she will become.
