In this episode, I’m sharing a more personal reflection on something I’ve been learning in my own life...the lie of self-reliance.

For a long time, I believed that being strong meant handling everything on my own. Pushing through, staying in control, figuring things out by myself. But looking back, I can see how that mindset wasn’t actually making me stronger… it was just making everything heavier.

I share about my experience with faith, hitting low points, and realizing that my own strength wasn’t enough to get me out of where I was. That I needed something more. I needed God.

We also get into what it looks like to surrender in real life—not in a passive way, but in a way that allows us to still show up without trying to control everything.

This episode is less about having answers and more about reflection. About noticing where we run when things feel uncertain, and what we’re actually relying on in those moments.

If you’ve ever felt like you have to carry everything on your own, this is something to sit with.
