Unlock Your Peace: The Spiritual Truth of Control

Are you a self-proclaimed "control freak," constantly striving to manage every aspect of your life, believing it brings you safety and peace? I completely get it. For years, I was right there with you, convinced that controlling everything would lead to happiness. However, through a profound healing journey, I discovered a powerful concept I call the Spiritual Law of Control, which completely shifted my perspective and, ultimately, brought me the peace and happiness I had long been searching for.

This isn't just a surface-level idea; it's a deep dive into understanding where our need for control originates—often from past traumatic experiences where we felt unheard, unseen, or unsafe. By uncovering these roots, we can begin to dismantle the ingrained beliefs that fuel our desire to control. What I've learned, and what I'm excited to share, is that trying to control everything in our lives, from outcomes to other people's behaviors, actually blocks us from receiving the very blessings and happiness meant for us.

When you truly surrender the need to control and "let go and let God," you open yourself up to a life of flow, miracles, and genuine peace. You'll discover that clinging to control only perpetuates anxiety and resistance, whereas releasing it allows divine guidance to bring about what's truly for your highest good. Join me as we explore how letting go can lead to a richer, more fulfilling life.

Have you ever wondered if there's a deeper meaning to the ups and downs of life? The mistakes you make, the challenges you face, even the actions of others that impact you? Today, we're diving into a powerful concept: the spiritual truth of perfection. This isn't about striving for an impossible ideal or believing you are flawless. Instead, it's a profound shift in mindset that, for me, brought immense peace and happiness on my healing journey. It's one of those transformative spiritual truths that helped me find the peace and power I'd been searching for.

This truth reveals that there's a divine order to everything happening in your life. Every experience, every action, every mistake—both yours and others'—serves a higher purpose. It's all designed for your awakening, to help you grow into the highest version of yourself, fulfilling the unique purpose God designed for you.

When you grasp this spiritual truth, it changes everything. It allows you to release the burden of self-blame, recognizing that even your missteps are part of a perfect plan for your growth. It encourages you to see the bigger picture, trusting that every event, whether good or bad, is a collaborative piece in your journey toward becoming who you were truly meant to be.

Today, we're exploring a profound spiritual truth: love. You might wonder, "Why love?" Well, it ties directly into the very purpose of this podcast: helping you find genuine peace and happiness in your daily life. For a long time, I struggled to find lasting peace, despite trying to do all the "right" things. It was through my healing journey that I began to understand spiritual truths—God's ultimate truths—and how they differ from our individual, relative truths.

My life began to transform dramatically as I started to align with these divine truths. When I learned something that resonated deeply, I'd take it to God, the one source of pure truth, and ask, "Is this true?" If it was, I'd embrace it and follow its direction. I noticed a consistent pattern: whenever I surrendered my own ideas and followed what I felt God was guiding me to do, things in my life would improve in ways I could never have expected. This powerful alignment, listening to God's voice, and having the courage to follow it, showed me His incredible care for the details of my life.

This journey led me to embrace the spiritual truth of love, particularly charity, the pure love of Jesus Christ. I realized I was often filled with anger, jealousy, and resentment towards others, far from the qualities of charity. Through prayer and a conscious effort to view people through God's eyes, my perspective began to shift. Instead of automatic judgment, I found myself filled with compassion and a deep affection, realizing others might be struggling. This new way of viewing the world has brought a peace, happiness, and joy into my life that I never had before. If you find yourself struggling with negative views towards others, I encourage you to ask to develop this divine gift of love; I know it can change your life too.

Today, we're diving deep into a topic that might be newer to some of you, just like it was for me a few years ago: the spiritual truth of boundaries. Before then, the word "boundaries" wasn't really in my vocabulary, and I certainly didn't think I needed them. Boy, was I uneducated! It was actually my sister-in-law who first introduced me to the concept during a challenging predicament we were in. I remember thinking, "Okay, I've heard this word, but what exactly is a boundary, how do I set one, and why are they even useful?" Her explanation was a saving grace in that situation, and it opened my eyes to something truly amazing.

The first key takeaway about boundaries is that they are fundamentally for your peace and power. They are a vital tool to help you maintain your inner calm and personal strength. We'll explore two main types of boundaries. The first involves setting limits with other people or external circumstances to protect your peace. The second, and one that has truly revolutionized my understanding, involves setting boundaries with yourself. This "higher law," as I like to call it, emphasizes radical responsibility and recognizing that you are ultimately in charge of your own peace and power. While setting boundaries with others is important, what happens when they don't comply? That's where self-boundaries come in, offering a powerful path to peace regardless of external factors.

In this episode, we'll begin by discussing how to identify when a boundary is needed in your relationships with others and how to effectively communicate and enforce those boundaries. We'll explore practical steps like clearly defining your needs, asserting your limits with confidence, and understanding how to handle resistance. But even more profoundly, we'll delve into the transformative power of self-boundaries – learning to accept what you can't control, managing your own behavior, taking accountability for your part, and deciding what you're willing to allow into your life. Ultimately, this journey is about finding an unprecedented level of happiness and fulfillment by taking ownership of your inner peace.

Today, we're diving into a crucial spiritual truth: the distinction between self-worth and self-confidence. Have you ever considered if there's a difference, and how they might affect each other? This is a big one, and I'm excited to share a key insight right away: self-worth is the greatest indicator of personal happiness.

Why is that? Well, self-confidence is typically built on external factors—what you do, what you accomplish, your skills, and your environment. It can fluctuate based on how well you perform or who you're around. But self-worth? That's entirely internal. It's about truly knowing who you are: a beloved individual with inherent purpose and gifts, perfect and wonderful just as you are, mistakes and all. When you believe this to your core, that's where unwavering self-worth comes from, leading to profound peace and happiness.

We'll explore this difference further with insights from Jamie Kern Lima's book, Worthy, highlighting how self-confidence is fragile and external, while self-worth is foundational and stable. If you've been chasing happiness through accomplishments or external validation, you might be missing the crucial internal foundation that self-worth provides. Tune in to discover how strengthening your self-worth can transform your self-confidence and bring true, lasting peace and joy to your daily life.

Welcome to a truly vulnerable episode today. I'm taking a deep breath because I'm about to share an experience I'm not proud of, but I believe it's essential for helping you understand the spiritual truth of triggers. For a long time, I hated triggers; they were incredibly irritating and led to intense moments of anger and guilt. But I've learned something transformative about them, something that has brought immense peace and joy to my daily life, and I'm excited to share that with you.

We're going to dive into what triggers truly are, what they are not, and how they can actually be powerful tools for healing and personal growth. I'll start by sharing a deeply personal story, a wake-up call that forced me to confront my own behaviors and begin a healing journey. It's a difficult story, but one that highlights the profound impact triggers can have when we don't understand their true nature. My hope is that by sharing my vulnerability, I can help you gain control of your triggers sooner, so you can find peace and happiness in your life today, without enduring years of struggle.

If you're dealing with anxiety, anger outbursts, constant irritation, or the crushing weight of guilt after a reaction, this episode is for you. We'll explore how these seemingly negative experiences are actually your body's way of whispering to you, highlighting areas that need attention and healing. Triggers aren't trying to sabotage you; they're trying to protect you. By getting curious instead of frustrated, you can unlock incredible self-discovery and transform these challenges into opportunities for growth.

Today, we're diving into one of my absolute favorite spiritual truths: the power of our thoughts. This was actually the very first truth I learned on my own journey toward peace and happiness, and it truly changed everything. It wasn't me who recognized it first, but a life coach who quickly noticed the negative self-talk constantly replaying in my mind. She saw that despite my goals and frustration, my thoughts were blocking me and directly impacting the outcome of my life.

She taught me a profound truth: our thoughts create our beliefs, our beliefs influence our feelings, our feelings drive our actions, and our actions ultimately shape the circumstances of our lives. Yes, they are that powerful. If you've never truly examined the thousands of thoughts that run through your mind every single day, I promise this episode will be a game-changer. Even if you have, taking this truth more seriously and committing to changing your thoughts for good can completely transform your life. I've experienced it firsthand, and I've witnessed hundreds of other women achieve incredible transformations by doing the work to change what's going on in their heads.

We have over 6,000 thoughts a day, and an astounding 80% of them are repetitive – the same old recordings playing on loop. If your current life isn't bringing you joy or fulfillment, could it be those persistent, unexamined thoughts holding you back? Join me as we explore how to become the director of your mind, discern between thoughts of light and darkness, and learn how to erase and replace limiting beliefs that are preventing you from creating the life you truly desire.

Today, we're diving into a powerful concept that might surprise you: radical responsibility. You might not immediately think of it as a "spiritual truth," but in my journey to find peace and happiness after navigating significant life challenges, including past trauma, I've discovered that certain truths profoundly shift your perspective and bring immense joy. These are the "spiritual truths" I share with you, and radical responsibility is certainly one of them.

This isn't to be confused with radical acceptance, which is about acknowledging reality. Radical responsibility takes it a step further. It's about recognizing that you are the primary cause of your life's outcomes, and understanding the universal law of cause and effect. It's about empowering yourself to choose your path forward, regardless of external circumstances. As the saying goes, "It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to has power over you." When you embrace radical responsibility, you're taking your power back. You're no longer blaming others or external factors; instead, you're deciding how you will respond and create your life.

Join me as we explore what radical responsibility truly means and how it can revolutionize your life. We'll delve into how this mindset shift empowers you to take control of your healing, improve your decision-making, increase your accountability, and build incredible resilience. This isn't about blaming yourself for what happened to you, but about choosing how you move forward and what your future will look like, no matter what you've faced. Get ready to reclaim your power and create the life you truly desire.

Have you ever found yourself constantly battling situations, replaying "what ifs," or wishing things were different, even when you know they can't be? This week, we're diving into a powerful spiritual truth that can radically transform your peace and happiness: Radical Acceptance. This isn't about liking a difficult situation or being okay with it; it's about courageously accepting it as reality. When we resist what is, we often find ourselves stuck in cycles of blame, anger, shame, and anxiety, preventing us from moving forward.

Drawing wisdom from incredible thinkers like Byron Katie, we'll explore why embracing reality, even the uncomfortable parts, is the ultimate act of taking back your power. When you stop fighting against "God's business" – those things outside your control – you open up a whole new world of possibilities and opportunities for growth.

Join me as we uncover how radical acceptance can help you release tension, find peace, and empower you to make choices that truly serve your highest good, transforming your life from the inside out.

Today, we're diving into a profound spiritual truth about hardships, and what they truly mean for our peace and happiness. When you hear the word "trauma," do you immediately think, "That's not me," or "I haven't experienced anything that bad?" I used to think that way too. But learning the true definition of trauma, and seeing how it shapes our lives, absolutely blew my mind. It's not just about monumental events; it's about anything that impacts us deeply, creating lasting emotional and psychological responses, big or small.

In this episode, we'll explore how these hardships – anything that made you feel unheard, unseen, unloved, or unsafe – become the number one cause of programming your subconscious mind with limiting beliefs. You'll learn how these "commands" are formed during intense emotional moments and how they continue to influence your thoughts, feelings, and the very circumstances of your life.

Understanding this isn't about dwelling on the past; it's about gaining the knowledge and control to change your future, to break cycles not just for yourself, but for your family. Get ready for some eye-opening insights that will empower you to transform your challenges into stepping stones for true peace and joy.
