Announcing Freedom with Laura Mayer

You're not broken. And things don't have to feel this way forever. In this episode we uncover what you're brain is actually doing when you feel anxious or afraid and how to replace fear's faulty interpretation with truth. There's no shame, only freedom for you.

In this episode, we look under the surface to understand why your spaces collect clutter. I give you practical tools from my experience helping people declutter and organize their homes as well as help you identify 4 core fears that get triggered when considering letting go of an item.

The 4 Questions I encourage people to ask themselves when decluttering:

1. Do I use this item.

2. Would I look for this if I lost it? (If you forgot you had it that's a good indicator the answer is no, haha)

3. If I saw this in the store today, would I buy it again? (at full price?)

4. Is keeping this item helping me accomplish my goal for this space? (peaceful, calm, functional, easy to find things, cleared for used, etc.)

Christmas isn't just celebrating a little baby being born. It's celebrating THE baby who would mark time and end the separation between God and mankind. It's the celebration of Freedom coming to earth... as a baby.

In this episode we explore what it means to have an Orphan Mindset and how to trade it for thinking like a Son or Daughter. Along the way, we dive into how Attachment Wounds lead to legalism.

Somewhere along the line, you were taught your job was to keep others happy. Your sense of safety and well-being may have even depended on it. Church culture may have called it walking in love or peacemaking yet you are left to feel anything but love and peace is absent in your heart.

This may be the episode you've been wanting for.

Have you ever felt your emotions were a shameful part of you? Something to be ignored and not trusted?

Or maybe you've felt emotions needed to be conquered, whipped into shape, or silenced?

In this episode you will learn how emotions are your God-gifted information system and what to do with them so you can be a healthy, WHOLE person rather than fragmented and at war within yourself.

The podcast is back with a fresh name and more focused mission. Listen in!

In this episode, I share a meaningful Christmas tradition as my gift to you. I'm reading the story of Jesus' birth from the Book of Luke the way my grandfather did each Christmas before my family sat down for our Christmas dinner.

Let the magnitude of these words soak in. This is the story of the birth of not only THE Savior but YOUR Savior. The One who came to bring your peace, your wholeness, your rescue, your joy, and your freedom.

John 3:16 tells us, "God so loved the world that He GAVE..." and He is our greatest gift.

My daughter, Sarah, is on the podcast and she has some powerful words to share.

Listen in as Sarah shares what she has learned about choosing to cultivate her own relationship with God. She shares barriers she has pushed through and the inner strength that comes from knowing she is never alone.

This is a great listen for all ages!

Grief, simply put, is acknowledging the loss of someone or something that mattered. So why do we make grief so complicated? Why to we run from it, refuse it, self-medicate it, shame ourselves out of it, or sit in it forever and never move past it?

Well, I believe it's because we don't know how, or with Who, to process it in a healthy way.

Listen in for a perspective shift on grief. You may just learn that grief can be Holy Ground.
