In this episode, I'm tackling three common myths and three mistakes that highly sensitive people and introverts often make when journaling their feelings. 

As HSPs, we tend to overthink and process deeply, which can lead to emotional overwhelm or numbness. I bust myths like "journaling will make me dwell on feelings" and "I need to write perfectly," while addressing mistakes such as focusing only on negative emotions or stopping when emotions feel too big. 

I provide practical tips for moving past these roadblocks and using journaling as a tool to process emotions healthily. If you've been hesitant to start journaling or struggling to maintain a practice, this episode will help you transform journaling from an overwhelming task into a powerful tool for emotional resilience.

In this episode, I dive into a truth that many of us struggle with - feeling unworthy of God's love due to our mistakes and imperfections. 

Through the stories of three biblical figures - Moses, Peter, and the Samaritan woman at the well - I share how God's love isn't conditional on our perfection. Each of these individuals had significant flaws and made major mistakes, yet God still chose, loved, and used them powerfully. 

If you're feeling too broken or messed up to be close to God, this episode will remind you that He loves you exactly as you are. I share personal insights and encourage you to embrace God's unconditional love, letting go of the pressure to be perfect.

When we face difficult times, it's easy to view them as punishment for past mistakes or poor choices. In this episode, I share how shifting our perspective from seeing hardships as punishment to viewing them as opportunities for growth can transform our journey through adversity. 

Through powerful biblical examples like Joseph, Moses, and Paul, I illustrate how challenges often prepare us for future purposes we can't yet see. Drawing from my own experience of surviving an abusive marriage, I demonstrate how this mindset shift not only builds resilience but can deepen our relationship with God during tough seasons. 

I offer practical journaling prompts to help you identify areas where you might be viewing struggles as punishment and guide you in reframing these situations as opportunities for personal and spiritual development.
