Episode 102: Identity Crisis? Not in MY House!

Have you ever second-guessed yourself into a full-blown identity crisis after asking for way too many opinions? Same, sister. In today's episode of Shattered to Unbreakable, Brandi Babin shares a relatable and refreshing reminder: your path is yours — not ChatGPT’s, not your boss’s, not even your well-meaning friend’s.

Brandi dives into why no advice — no matter how smart or shiny — will ever fit you perfectly, because no one else has your experiences, your wiring, or your calling. She shares some personal crossroads moments, the temptation to should all over herself (spoiler: it gets messy), and how she fought to get back into alignment with her true purpose.

If you’ve been feeling pulled in a hundred directions by a hundred different voices, this episode is your permission slip to stop, breathe, and trust the woman in the mirror. Your gut is smarter than you think — and your sparkle is way too important to get sidetracked.

✨ Mentioned in this episode:

• The Rediscovering Me guide (free at thereclaimstrategy.com)

• Morning routines that rewire your brain for peace and power

• Brandi’s hilarious (and very real) realization about running a restaurant...from 1,200 miles away

Tune in for a love note to your future self — and a reminder that the only path you need to follow is the one you carve yourself. Stay sparkly, Sweet Sister. 🌟

🎙️ Episode 101: “Unanswered Prayers & the Bamboo Plant Gospel”
When God leaves you on read… but for good reason.

This week on Shattered to Unbreakable, Brandi Babin is getting real about the silence from heaven that makes you want to shake your fists at the sky (or maybe just dramatically sob into a pint of Halo Top). If you've ever felt ghosted by God or like your prayer requests got lost in the divine group chat, this one's for you.

From prayers that felt ignored to seasons that seemed more like spiritual pranks than growth opportunities, Brandi shares the real-life rollercoaster of doing all the things (faith, fasting, journaling… even ChatGPT) and still feeling stuck. But what if your unanswered prayers aren’t punishment—they’re preparation?

You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes story of how Reclaim was born in the ashes, almost abandoned, then reignited with unexpected clarity. Plus, Brandi drops a fresh perspective: maybe the longer the wait, the deeper the roots. (Spoiler alert: there’s a bamboo plant metaphor and it’s everything.)

✨ In this episode:

• What to do when God’s response is crickets

• The messy, miraculous timeline of answered prayers

• Why your Reclaim guidebook still matters

• A surprising pep talk from ChatGPT

• And why “just the next right thing” might be all you need

Because sometimes, unanswered prayers are the setup for blessings bigger than your little human heart can even handle. So take a deep breath, trust the root work, and stay sparkly, sweet sister.

Through an honest and moving retelling of her experience with a cord-cutting ceremony guided by relationship coach Bre Wolta, Brandi shares how her once shame-laced view of her early adult self was completely redefined.

✨ How to respectfully and lovingly release your former self without guilt

Have you ever felt like you needed something—or someone—to be okay?

Maybe it’s a relationship, a job, the approval of others, or even your daily iced coffee (we’re not judging… but let’s talk about it).

In this episode of Shattered to Unbreakable, we’re diving deep into the concept of idols—not the golden statues of ancient times, but the modern-day obsessions that steal our peace and keep us from fully trusting God.

Join me, Brandi Babin, as I get real about my own struggles with relationship dependency, the cycle of seeking external validation, and the hard truth about what happens when we place people or things above our faith.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🔥 What really counts as an idol in today’s world (hint: it’s not just material things).
🔄 How to recognize unhealthy patterns—especially when it comes to relationships and self-worth.
💡 The power of The Litany of Humility—a prayer that challenged everything I believed about success, self-love, and purpose.
👀 Why breaking free from what others think about you is the ultimate game-changer.
🌟 The difference between seeking approval vs. living in purpose—and how shifting your focus can transform your life.

If you’re a busy, faith-driven woman struggling with self-worth, comparison, and the feeling that you’re never enough, this episode was made for you. You don’t have to hustle for validation or chase things that were never meant to complete you. True peace comes when we let go of our idols, trust in God’s plan, and step into the freedom of just being—without constantly needing to prove ourselves.

🎧 Listen now at www.thereclaimstrategy.com or wherever you get your podcasts! And hey, while you’re at it—go ahead and leave a rating & review (because algorithms are the real idols we apparently must serve. 😂)

✨ Stay sparkly, sweet sister, and I’ll see you next week! 💜

The Litany of Humility:

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.

From the desire of being esteemed,Deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being loved...

From the desire of being extolled ...

From the desire of being honored ...

From the desire of being praised ...

From the desire of being preferred to others...

From the desire of being consulted ...

From the desire of being approved ...

From the fear of being humiliated ...

From the fear of being despised...

From the fear of suffering rebukes ...

From the fear of being calumniated ...

From the fear of being forgotten ...

From the fear of being ridiculed ...

From the fear of being wronged ...

From the fear of being suspected ...

That others may be loved more than I,Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be esteemed more than I ...

That, in the opinion of the world,
others may increase and I may decrease ...
That others may be chosen and I set aside ...
That others may be praised and I unnoticed ...
That others may be preferred to me in everything...
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should…

Feeling burnt out, exhausted, and maybe a little dead inside? Yeah, same. But before you run away to live in the woods, you might want to hear from today’s guest—because she kinda did that, but with a plan.

In this episode of Shattered to Unbreakable, Brandi sits down with Emily Glenn, a registered nurse turned board-certified nurse coach, who ditched the high-stress world of reactionary medicine to help people prevent burnout and reclaim their health (without living off prescription refills and caffeine alone).

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🔥 The Truth About Burnout – It’s not just stress. It’s deep. It’s sneaky. And you can’t just bubble-bath your way out of it.
🌿 Healing from the Inside Out – Why quick fixes don’t work and how to actually take control of your own health.
💊 Western Medicine vs. True Healing – When meds are necessary, and when they’re just a Band-Aid on a bullet wound.
🏔️ Adventure Coaching?! – How Emily is helping people heal through backpacking trips, cold plunges, and outdoor experiences (even for non-risk-takers).
🤯 The Elephant Rope Effect – What’s actually holding you back in life, and why you might not even know it.
🧠 Why You Are the Expert on YOU – Doctors, coaches, and gurus can help, but no one knows your body and mind like you do.

🎯 Key Takeaway: You don’t have to live in survival mode forever. Whether it’s burnout, stress, or just feeling totally disconnected, there’s a way back to YOU—and Emily’s here to show you how.

✨ Bonus: Emily offers a FREE discovery coaching call, so if you’re ready to take your health seriously (but also kinda terrified), this is your sign to go for it.

It’s Fat Tuesday, y’all! Time to throw beads, eat everything in sight, and celebrate like there’s no tomorrow… because, well, Lent starts tomorrow. And that means 40(ish) days of fasting, discipline, and trying to remember why you ever agreed to give up caffeine.

In this episode of Shattered to Unbreakable, Brandi Babin—Louisiana native, Catholic convert, and recovering overachiever—dives into the art of fasting, how to actually make it meaningful, and why you definitely shouldn’t give up hot showers.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🥐 Fat Tuesday & Its Catholic Roots – More than just an excuse to party (but, let’s be real, still a solid excuse).
🙏 The Real Purpose of Fasting – It’s not just about suffering (or proving how strong-willed you are); it’s about growing closer to God.
🍫 What to Give Up for Lent – How to pick something that actually improves your life (and no, giving up kale doesn’t count).
🔥 Fasting That Sticks – The difference between temporary suffering and lasting transformation (because let’s be honest, some things just need to GO).
💡 Brandi’s Wildest Fasts – The vanity detox, the cold shower disaster, and the sugar purge that surprisingly changed everything.
⏰ What She’s Giving Up This Year – The snooze button (RIP), plus one small, daily habit that could deepen friendships and connection.

🎯 Key Takeaway: If you’ve been wanting to make a life change, do it for God. Turns out, divine accountability works better than any New Year’s resolution.

So grab your king cake, wear your best purple, gold, and green, and party it up today—because tomorrow, we’re getting real.
