In this episode of A Woman’s Heart, I’m joined by author, speaker, and podcaster Mary DeMuth to talk about her newest book, The Freedom of Surrender, and the way letting go can actually lead to deeper freedom, healing, and peace.

Mary shares why surrender feels so threatening, how control can quietly keep us stuck, and what it looks like to place our lives — including finances and past trauma — back into God’s hands. We also talk about the deeply personal artwork woven throughout her book and how God used creativity as part of Mary’s own healing journey.

If you’ve ever struggled to release control, trust God with uncertainty, or wondered if surrender means failure, this conversation offers a gentle and hope-filled reframe.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why the word surrender feels so uncomfortable for so many of us

• How creativity and art played a role in Mary’s journey

• How true freedom is often found on the other side of release
