Saved by surrender

What if the breakthrough you’ve been chasing doesn’t come from striving—but from surrender?

In this deeply moving and faith-filled conversation, I sit down with Dr. Laurette Willis—cognitive-behavioral therapist, international speaker, and founder of multiple global ministries—to explore the life-changing power of surrendering fully to God.

From childhood emotional eating to addiction, New Age spirituality, and profound personal loss, Laurette’s story is one of radical transformation. Today, she equips women around the world to renew their minds, retrain their brains, and step into lasting freedom—using a powerful blend of Scripture and evidence-based tools.

This is a conversation about healing, identity, and the courage to let go of everything you thought you knew… in order to discover truth.

In This Episode, We Explore:

  • How emotional eating can begin in early childhood—and what it’s really trying to soothe
  • Laurette’s journey through addiction, anxiety, and spiritual searching
  • The hidden dangers she encountered in New Age practices
  • The devastating loss of her mother—and how it shaped her search for meaning
  • A life-altering question: “What if everything you thought about God was wrong?”
  • The moment of complete surrender that changed everything
  • Instant freedom from alcoholism—and the ripple effects that followed
  • How faith and cognitive-behavioral principles work together to create lasting transformation
  • Practical ways to renew your mind and break destructive patterns
  • Why surrender is not weakness—but the ultimate pathway to strength and freedom
  • A Story That Will Stay With You

    Before becoming a global voice for transformation, Laurette was known as “The Woman of 101 Voices,” a successful actor and improv comedienne. But behind the performance was a life marked by anxiety, emptiness, and spiritual confusion.

    After years of searching—traveling the world, visiting sacred sites, and immersing herself in alternative spiritual practices—everything changed in a single moment of surrender.

    On April Fool’s Day in her twenties, Laurette gave her life to Jesus Christ… and in an instant, she was set free from alcoholism. No withdrawal. No relapse. Just complete transformation.

    Four days later, she met her future husband.

    Her life has never been the same.

    Why You Should Listen

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t break…

    If you’ve searched for peace in all the wrong places…
    Or if you’re ready to experience real, lasting transformation from the inside out…

    This episode will challenge, inspire, and encourage you to consider a different path—one that begins with surrender.

    Final Thought

    Sometimes the greatest breakthrough doesn’t come from doing more…

    It comes from letting go.
