Pivot 2 Positivity

Guest host Sherry Grant explores how the stories we tell ourselves—the “I am” beliefs—shape our habits, choices, and relationships. She shows how labels like “busy” or “fragile” can limit life and explains a practical, trauma-informed approach to shifting identity. Learn why starting with “I am becoming” and taking one aligned next action builds confidence over time. The episode offers simple strategies to move from reactivity to intentional living and points to resources for continued support.

In this episode, Neena explores how discontent—both painful and hopeful—can spark growth and creativity. Using biblical stories (David and Goliath, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego) and personal examples (a son reclaiming his stolen bike, Neena’s health and faith journey), she shows how facing giants can lead to transformation. Listeners will hear practical perspectives on using existing skills, embracing necessary change, and balancing medical and holistic solutions. Neena also offers support through prayer, coaching resources, and encouragement to move forward with courage and humility. If you’re facing a challenge, this episode provides hope, real-life strategies, and an invitation to connect for prayer or coaching as you work through your giant.
