Permission to Start Over: Why Your Reset Isn't Rebellion


Listen Later

Season 2 kicks off with the permission slip you've been waiting for but felt too guilty to take. Join Joy Davis, LCSW, as she dismantles the myth that spiritual maturity means never needing a do-over.
In this revealing episode, Joy shares her own messy journey through multiple life resets—from leaving an abusive marriage to trading her chef's knife for a therapist's chair—and explains why your exhaustion isn't a character flaw; it's your nervous system begging for change.
Discover why 87% of high-achieving Christian women feel trapped in lives they built, learn the neuroscience behind why your brain literally needs resets to thrive, and understand why every biblical hero had multiple pivots (and why yours isn't faithlessness).
Perfect for the woman who looks successful but feels stuck, who's been taught that changing course means lacking faith, or who's exhausted from performing her own highlight reel.
Key Takeaways:
Why your need for a reset is biological wisdom, not spiritual weakness
The 5-step framework for a holy reset that honors your past while releasing you from it
How to handle the people who will resist your reset (and why they needed you to have no boundaries)
Your permission slip to pivot without rebellion, start over without shame, and choose joy over performance
Content Note: Discussion of religious trauma, perfectionism, and brief references to domestic abuse (handled with care).
