It's a breakthrough story.Faye shares how God used her lowest moment to strip away the approval-seeking, quiet the noise, and bring her back to the only audience that matters.In this episode:Why high-achieving people pleasers are often the most at risk for burnoutHow the words spoken over you as a child can quietly run your adult lifeWhat happened when Faye anointed her daughter's shoes — and her daughter walked again in 8 monthsThe moment a 6-year-old spoke with a voice that wasn't her ownWhy your only audience should be God — not peopleIf you're exhausted from saying yes when God is saying no, this episode is for you.🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every Wednesday👍 Like this video if it blessed you💬 Drop a comment — where are you in your people pleasing journey?📲 Follow Frankie: @iamfrankielubin🌐 Words of Encouragement Podcast — new episodes every WednesdayJoin the prayer group:https://prayergroup.lovable.app#PeoplePleasing #WordsOfEncouragement #FaithPodcast #ChristianWomen #MentalHealth #Anxiety #BreakingFree #FaithOverFear #MadeDifferent #IdentityInChrist #ChristianPodcast #Encouragement #GodsVoice #Burnout #ApprovalSeeking
