What do you do when your heart is carrying deep disappointment, and the answer you hoped for still has not come? In this episode of the Self-Love Journaling With God Podcast, we look at Hannah’s story in 1 Samuel 1 and explore what it means to bring heartbreak, waiting, and unmet longing honestly before God.

If you have ever felt discouraged, overlooked, emotionally worn down, or quietly asked God, “What do I do with this pain?” this episode is for you. We talk about how Hannah prayed through sorrow, how disappointment can affect your identity, and how God stays near to the brokenhearted. You will also be guided through a meaningful journaling practice to help you process disappointment with God, release what has been weighing on your heart, and reconnect with truth.

In this episode, we cover:

•  Hannah’s deep disappointment and what her story teaches us 
•  How to pray when you feel hurt, forgotten, or emotionally exhausted 
•  Why disappointment can affect self-worth and faith 
•  A biblical perspective on waiting, grief, and honest prayer 
•  A guided journaling prompt for emotional healing and self-reflection 
•  Encouragement for women in a healing season, learning self-love with God 

This episode is for Christian women who want to grow in faith, emotional healing, self-worth, and prayer journaling. If you are learning how to journal with God through disappointment, this conversation will help you feel seen, grounded, and encouraged.

Stop letting shame call the shots. In this faith-filled episode of the Self-Love Journaling With God Podcast, we’re talking about what it really means when shame tries to “name you”—to label you by your past, your mistakes, or your worst moment—and how to break free with God’s truth.

We’ll walk through a powerful biblical picture of shame and restoration, then anchor your heart in Romans 8:1 (KJV): “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus…” You’ll learn how to spot shame’s “false mirror,” replace distorted self-talk with Scripture, and take a simple, practical action step that strengthens your self-worth and your faith.

This episode includes guided journaling, a clear journaling prompt with an example, and a heartfelt prayer to help you stop shrinking, stop hiding, and start living from your God-given identity.

If you’ve been struggling with guilt, condemnation, negative self-talk, people-pleasing, or feeling unworthy of love—this one is for you.

In this episode, Shame vs. Guilt: Know the Difference, we’re breaking down the spiritual and emotional difference between conviction (which lovingly invites you back to God) and shame (which pushes you into hiding). Using 1 John 1:9 (KJV) as our anchor, you’ll learn how to recognize shame when it’s subtle—like overthinking, shrinking back, self-disqualifying, or feeling like you have to “get it together” before you pray.

Together, we’ll walk through a Bible-based perspective on shame, a practical emotional lens, and a step-by-step journaling practice to help you respond with truth instead of self-attack. You’ll journal through the key question: “Is this drawing me toward God… or into hiding?” plus two clear prompts with real-life examples to help you identify what you’re feeling and what to do next.

You’ll also create a simple Return Plan for the week: 1 prayer, 1 repair step, and 1 gentle boundary—so you can move forward with peace, clarity, and self-love rooted in God’s grace.

Perfect for women in a healing season, anyone battling guilt, shame spirals, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or feeling “not enough,” and anyone learning how to journal with God for emotional healing and spiritual growth.

Have you ever wondered, How do I practice self-love God’s way—without guilt, fear, or feeling selfish?

In this episode of the Self-Love Journaling With God Podcast, we gently unpack the difference between cultural self-love and biblical self-love rooted in God’s stewardship. If you’re a Christian woman who struggles with self-worth, boundaries, burnout, or people-pleasing, this conversation is for you.

We’ll talk honestly about why self-love often feels uncomfortable in faith spaces, how boundaries protect your God-given worth, and what Scripture really says about loving yourself. You’ll also be guided through a reflective journaling practice to help you hear God’s heart for you in this season.

This episode blends Scripture, emotional health, real-life examples, and journaling prompts to help you move from guilt to clarity—and from exhaustion to peace.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why self-love isn’t selfish—but biblical stewardship
• How self-worth and boundaries work together in a healthy faith life
• What Jesus meant when He said, “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39)
• How guilt around rest and boundaries often signals deeper beliefs
• Practical ways to practice self-love God’s way—without apology
• A guided journaling moment to reflect, reset, and reconnect with God
