Today’s episode of Thrive Through the Fire is one that’s close to my heart, because it’s something that changed my own life—especially during cancer and the tough unknowns that followed.

I’m diving into the power of our words—specifically the ones we say to ourselves.

We all know how important it is to use kind words with others. But how often do we forget to speak kind words to ourselves? Words carry weight. They create. They shape our mindset, our health, and our hope.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• What Scripture says about the power of life and death in the tongue
• How our thoughts and self-talk impact our faith and even our physical bodies
• My personal story of navigating cancer and the panic-inducing “what if” thoughts
• How to identify the lies we speak over ourselves and replace them with truth
• Biblical examples of people who spoke life in hard seasons
• Five practical ways you can begin speaking life over yourself today

I’ll walk you through how I used Scripture like Jeremiah 29:11 to anchor my soul during a season of fear and uncertainty—and how I still go back to those promises when the enemy whispers lies.

If you’ve ever struggled with negative self-talk, fear, or feeling like you're not enough—this episode is especially for you. My prayer is that by the end of it, you’ll be equipped to speak God’s truth over your life with boldness and peace.

This isn’t just encouragement—it’s a mindset shift rooted in Scripture.
