The Breanna Williams Podcast
by Breanna Williams
Who you are is based on your beliefs, but where have you anchored your beliefs? Far too often, we anchor them in our parents, spouses, kids, friends, titles, jobs, skills, and even religion. As a result, we might feel misaligned or incomplete. It can be confusing to discern whether our thoughts are truly our own, as they often get drowned out by the noise of external influences. So, who am I? When you anchor your beliefs in God, your mind, body, and soul become aligned, and you realize that you are a child of the King!
