Disappointment has a way of changing us. Not all at once, but slowly over time. It teaches us to hesitate before we hope, protect ourselves from excitement, and prepare for things to go wrong before they ever do. What starts as a way to avoid pain can eventually become a way of living. In this deeply personal episode, Kezia shares her journey through disappointment, unanswered questions, motherhood, divorce, IVF uncertainty, healing, and faith. Through stories of loss, restoration, and unexpected lessons, she explores how disappointment can train our eyes to focus on what is missing instead of what God has already placed in our hands. Together, we’ll talk about: • Why disappointment makes us afraid to hope again • The difference between protection and trust • Learning to release control when life feels uncertain • Parenting through heartbreak and disappointment • The identity crisis that often follows difficult life transitions • Peter’s failures, restoration, and redemption • Whether Jesus experienced disappointment • Keeping our eyes on Christ in the middle of life’s storms • How to move from fear back to faith • Learning to expect God again One of the most powerful questions in this episode is this: What have you stopped expecting God to do? Not because He can’t. Not because He won’t. But because disappointment convinced you to stop believing He would. Maybe healing isn’t learning how to avoid disappointment. Maybe healing is learning how to hope again anyway.   Connect with Crowns Restored Website: crownsrestored.com Follow for weekly conversations on healing, faith, identity, relationships, restoration, and learning how to live again after life changes us.   Question for the Community What is one area of your life where disappointment has made it difficult to hope again?

You Can’t Keep Everyone Happy and Heal at the Same Time   Healing changes you.   And sometimes that’s exactly what makes people uncomfortable.   In this episode of P.I.P.E. Podcast, Ann Mayfield shares one of the hardest lessons she’s learned on her healing journey: you cannot keep everyone happy and heal at the same time.   Through personal reflection and hard-earned wisdom, Ann opens up about learning to love and respect herself, setting healthy boundaries, letting go of guilt, and navigating relationships that changed as she grew.   She discusses the loneliness that can come with healing, why not everyone celebrates your growth, and how she learned to stop participating in family drama, gossip, and unhealthy patterns that no longer served her.   Ann also shares how Plug Into Positive Energy became more than a slogan—it became a daily practice of choosing faith, peace, understanding, and personal responsibility over conflict, people-pleasing, and fear.   If you’ve ever felt guilty for changing, struggled with boundaries, or worried that growth might cost you relationships, this episode is for you.   Remember:   Not every battle needs your participation.   Hurt people hurt people.   But healed people help heal people.   Stay on your healing journey.   It is worth it.   Connect with us:   P.I.P.E. Podcast Plug Into Positive Energy   Because what you’re connected to will either build your life or break it.   Choose faith. Choose peace. Choose healing. Choose growth. And most importantly, Plug Into Positive Energy.

In this deeply personal episode of P.I.P.E. Podcast, Kezia reflects on a recent women’s retreat that challenged her in unexpected ways.   Through letter-writing, honest self-reflection, and time away from the noise of everyday life, she began uncovering the identities, labels, and survival strategies she had carried for years. What started as a retreat became a journey back to the version of herself that existed before fear, rejection, disappointment, and survival taught her to hide.   Kezia shares the childhood vow that shaped many of her relationships, the realization that safety had become more important than connection, and how the masks we wear to survive can eventually keep us from fully living.   This episode is not about becoming someone new.   It’s about remembering who you were before the pain.   Before the labels.   Before the fear.   Before you learned to hide.   If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled with people-pleasing, carried identities that never belonged to you, or wondered who you are underneath all the layers of survival, this conversation is for you.   Because healing may not be about becoming someone else.   It may be about coming home to who you were in the beginning.   P.I.P.E. — Plug Into Positive Energy.

Episode 7: The Day I Stopped Giving Up On Myself   There comes a moment when you realize you can no longer keep living the way you have been.   In this episode, Ann shares the turning point that changed her life forever. After years of struggling with health challenges, depression, negative thinking, and the weight of past wounds, she made a decision: she would stop giving up on herself.   Ann opens up about her journey from surviving to healing, losing over 30 pounds, overcoming physical limitations, rebuilding her confidence, and learning to see herself through God’s eyes instead of the opinions of others.   She shares the powerful moment that made her realize she was worth saving, the question from God that changed her perspective forever, and how choosing to Plug Into Positive Energy helped transform her life from the inside out.   If you’ve ever felt stuck, hopeless, overlooked, or wondered if it’s too late to change, this episode is for you.   Your story isn’t over.   Your healing matters.   And the best chapters may still be ahead.   Connect with us:   P.I.P.E.

this episode of the P.I.P.E. Podcast, we explore what happens when the body remembers long after the mind believes it has moved on.   Many of us learn how to survive difficult seasons. We learn how to push through pain, carry responsibilities, and keep moving forward. But what happens when survival mode becomes normal? What happens when peace feels unfamiliar?   In this conversation, Kezia shares personal stories about trauma, loss, miscarriage, healing, and the ways our nervous systems adapt to years of stress and uncertainty. Drawing from faith, neuroscience, and lived experience, she discusses how the body stores what the heart never had the chance to fully release.   This episode explores:   • Why survival mode can become familiar
• How trauma affects the nervous system
• What it means to teach the body safety again
• The connection between grief and physical healing
• Why healing is generational
• How peace can become familiar again
• The difference between surviving and truly living   If you’ve ever felt exhausted from carrying the weight of what happened, this episode is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and consider that healing may not be the destination.   Maybe it’s the beginning.   P.I.P.E. stands for Plug Into Positive Energy.   Connect with Crowns Restored:   Website: https://crownsrestored.com   Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Crownsrestored   Follow, subscribe, and share if this episode encouraged you.

What happens when we begin to question the things we were taught to believe were normal?   In this episode of the P.I.P.E. Podcast, Ann Mayfield shares an honest conversation about the generational patterns she inherited, the lessons she carried into adulthood, and the behaviors she unknowingly passed down to her own children.   Raised to stay quiet, obey without question, and push through pain without showing it, Ann reflects on how those beliefs shaped her relationships, her parenting, and her understanding of what strength really means.   With humility and honesty, she explores the difference between surviving and healing, the importance of accountability, and the freedom that comes from choosing a different path.   This episode is for anyone who has looked back at their life and realized that some of the things they carried were never theirs to keep.   Because healing isn’t just about changing your own story. It’s about changing what gets passed down to the next generation.   Plug into positive energy. What you’re connected to will either build your life or break it.   #PIPEPodcast #WhatWePassDown #GenerationalHealing #BreakingTheCycle #CrownsRestored #HealingJourney #PersonalGrowth #FaithAndHealing #PlugIntoPositiveEnergy #RestorationJourney

Tonight’s episode is a deeply personal conversation about survival mode, emotional pain, identity, and healing.   There were seasons where pain slowly became the lens I saw everything through. Not intentionally. Not all at once. But quietly over time.   In this episode, I talk honestly about what happens when survival becomes normal, when peace feels unfamiliar, and how healing sometimes begins with learning who you are underneath the pain.   This is not a conversation about pretending to have everything figured out. It’s about awareness, accountability, growth, and the slow process of becoming yourself again.   If you’ve ever felt emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or trapped in patterns that no longer feel like who you really are, I hope this episode reminds you that healing is possible.   Thank you for being here.   #healing #selfawareness #growth #podcast #mentalhealth #survivalmode #emotionalhealing #crownsrestored #pipepodcast
