Season 3 - Minisode 03 - Give Yourself a Pat on the Back!

 Join Tanya Gioia in a heartfelt episode where she shares a personal story that taught her the power of self-celebration. Reflecting on a snowy day with her young sons, Tanya recounts a challenging yet empowering experience of overcoming obstacles without waiting for external validation. This story becomes a metaphor for learning to praise oneself—a vital aspect of brain fitness that Tanya explores further in this episode.Drawing from her own journey and insights, Tanya discusses the common tendency to seek approval from others, especially in the context of living with addiction or past trauma. She challenges listeners to break free from the cycle of "performance love" and instead embrace self-affirmation grounded in their inherent worth as beloved children of God.Through practical exercises and heartfelt encouragement, Tanya guides listeners to identify their own "snowbank story"—moments where they can acknowledge their achievements and strengths without relying on external validation. She emphasizes that self-praise is not arrogance but a recognition of the love and acceptance already bestowed upon them by God.Get this free list of Christian affirmations that spell out who you are in God – actual in God’s own words.https://www.tanyagioia.com/3e03c10aefFree Gfit : Get this free list of Christian affirmations that spell out who you are in God – actual in God’s own words.
