Ep. 008: True Self Habits — How to Shift from Survival to Alignment


Listen Later

✨ What if the habits that made you strong… aren’t the ones that will make you whole?

In this episode of Your Most Beautiful Life, we’re talking about the habits that once helped you survive—but may now be holding you back. I’ll help you gently name the difference between patterns rooted in pressure and those built in peace.

🎯 You’ll learn:

  • The difference between survival-mode habits and true self habits

  • How the Creation Cycle helps you understand what’s driving your patterns

  • What emotional adulthood really looks like (and how to stop outsourcing your peace)

  • Simple rhythms to renew your mind and shift from striving to trust

    Whether you’re a mom in the thick of it, a woman carrying the emotional weight in your marriage, or someone learning to let go of over-functioning—this episode is here to help you pause, reflect, and realign with who you really are.

    📎 Mentioned in this episode:

    • My journaling practice using the Creation Cycle

    • Scripture-based mindset shifts
