Join host, Ashley and guest, Mandy Faimalie on how to stop performing for worth. Dive deep into the freedom of Being vs. the trap of Doing. 

Who This Is For:
- High achievers who feel empty after checking all the boxes 
- Overthinkers stuck in cycles of "not enough" 
- Christians who know God’s promises intellectually but struggle to feel worthy 
- Anyone defining their value by productivity, roles, or external validation 
- Burned-out souls craving rest beyond a vacation 

Key Take-aways:   

  - From scarcity (“I must grind”) to abundance (“I am already full”) 
  - Trading anxiety for peace before circumstances change  
  - Why healing begins when we stop negotiating with God (“I’ll rest when I get X”)

Mandy's Freedom Practices:

1. You’re wired for BEING, not DOING:

"We’re human beings—not human doings. Your identity isn’t found in achievements but in God’s presence."

2. Performance is a false god:

"When you tie worth to doing, you’ll forever chase the next milestone. True worth is received, not achieved."

3. Your trauma doesn’t get the final say:

"Insecurities (fear of lack, shame, unworthiness) are wounds—not truths. God exchanges your pain for His wholeness."

4. Peace isn’t a reward—it’s your birthright:

"God’s peace isn’t conditional on your succes
