  • Ep. 219: Is It God, Your Flesh, or Your Fear? How to Discern What’s Actually Leading You
    Welcome back friend! 🫶🏻
    Is that God speaking…or is it fear, anxiety, an old wound, or your flesh?
    Sometimes it can be hard to tell—especially when you’re triggered, emotionally invested, waiting for an answer, or desperately wanting something to change.
    In this episode of Surrender to Heal, we’re going deeper into what it looks like to actually be led by the Holy Spirit instead of being led by our emotions, fear, triggers, or need for control.
    Because not every thought in your head is God.
    Not every feeling in your body is an instruction.
    And not every sense of urgency requires a response.
    Maybe someone hasn’t texted you back and your mind immediately tells you something is wrong.
    Maybe you’re struggling in a relationship and feel like you need answers NOW.
    Maybe uncertainty has you overthinking, checking, reaching out, trying to fix things, or attempting to control an outcome.
    Or maybe you keep asking God what to do—but you’re so dysregulated that fear is louder than everything else.
    Today, we’re slowing it all down.
    In this episode, we’re talking about:
    * How to discern between God’s leading, your flesh, and fear
    * Why fear often creates a false sense of urgency
    * How past wounds can influence what you believe is happening today
    * Why your nervous system can interpret uncertainty as danger
    * The difference between a feeling and a fact
    * Why relationship triggers can make discernment especially difficult
    * How rejection, abandonment wounds, fear and control can affect relationships
    * Why you shouldn’t make important decisions while emotionally triggered
    * How to recognize conviction vs. condemnation
    * Why God’s voice will never contradict His Word
    * Using the fruit of the Spirit as part of your discernment
    * Why sometimes the most Spirit-led response is to wait
    * How to stop reacting and start responding from wisdom
    * Learning to surrender people and outcomes you cannot control
    A Practical Tool for Your Next Trigger
    Instead of:
    Trigger → React → Regret → Repeat
    Practice:
    PAUSE → REGULATE → PRAY → DISCERN → RESPOND
    Before you react, ask yourself:
    What are the facts?
    What am I feeling?
    What am I afraid of?
    Is an old wound being triggered?
    Am I trying to control the outcome?
    Does this align with Scripture?
    What fruit is this producing?
    Have I actually brought this to God?
    And what would happen if I simply waited?
    Sometimes the question isn’t, “God, what should I do?”
    Sometimes it’s:
    “God, show me what is leading me right now.”

  • Ep. 218 BONUS: A Daily Prayer for Living in the Spirit
    Today’s quick BONUS episode is a prayer that will help you begin living in the Spirit! I pray it blesses you 🙏🏻☺️🫶🏻
    DAILY PRAYER FOR LIVING IN THE SPIRIT
    Father,
    I surrender myself completely to You today.
    I don’t want to simply know about You. I want my life to demonstrate that Your Spirit lives within me.
    Search my heart and reveal anything in me that is being led by my flesh rather than Your Spirit.
    Expose pride.
    Expose fear.
    Expose control.
    Expose bitterness.
    Expose unforgiveness.
    Expose jealousy.
    Expose selfish ambition.
    Expose the need to be right.
    Expose the places where I react from wounds instead of responding from wisdom.
    I repent for every place where I have allowed my flesh to lead me.
    Holy Spirit, lead me today.
    When my flesh wants to react, teach me self-control.
    When someone hurts me, teach me love.
    When circumstances disappoint me, protect my joy.
    When fear rises, return me to peace.
    When God’s timing feels slow, teach me patience.
    When I am frustrated with people, make me kind.
    When nobody is watching, make me good.
    When following You becomes difficult, make me faithful.
    When I want to respond harshly, make me gentle.
    When my emotions become loud, remind me that they do not have to become my master.
    I want the fruit of my life to reveal the One who lives inside me.
    Teach me to recognize Your voice.
    Make me sensitive to Your conviction.
    Interrupt me when I’m about to respond from my flesh.
    Teach me to pause.
    Teach me to listen.
    Teach me to obey.
    Teach me to surrender.
    Jesus, I cannot produce spiritual fruit apart from You.
    You said:
    “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself.” — John 15:4
    So today, I choose to remain.
    I don’t have to force the fruit.
    I need to stay connected to the Vine.
    Change my heart until my automatic responses begin to look more like Jesus.
    Let there be more love.
    More joy.
    More peace.
    More patience.
    More kindness.
    More goodness.
    More faithfulness.
    More gentleness.
    More self-control.
    And less of my flesh.
    I surrender my thoughts, emotions, relationships, desires, expectations, plans, fears, and future to You.
    Holy Spirit, have Your way in me.
    I want to walk with You.
    I want to hear You.
    I want to obey You.
    I want my life to bear fruit that points people back to Jesus.
    Today I choose:
    Spirit over flesh.
    Obedience over emotion.
    Surrender over control.
    Faith over fear.
    Peace over striving.
    Jesus over self.
    In Jesus’ name,
    Amen.

  • Ep. 217: Is Your Flesh Ruining Your Life? How to Stop Reacting & Start Walking in the Spirit

    Are you being led by the Holy Spirit—or are your emotions, triggers, fear, pride, and need for control running your life?

    In this episode of Surrender to Heal, we’re talking about what it really means to stop living according to the flesh and start walking in the Spirit. Because sometimes we’re praying for God to change our circumstances, our relationships, or the people around us…while God is trying to do a deeper work inside of us.

    We’ll talk about how living in the flesh can show up as overthinking, reacting emotionally, needing reassurance, controlling outcomes, holding onto offense, people pleasing, fear of rejection, anger, pride, and even constantly needing to be understood.

    And relationships have a way of bringing all of it to the surface. Inside this episode, we talk about:

    * What the Bible means by living in the flesh vs. the Spirit

    * How your flesh can negatively impact your relationships

    * Why triggers don’t have to determine your response

    * The connection between nervous system regulation and emotional reactions

    * How fear, rejection, pride, control, and offense can influence your behavior

    * Why sometimes God wants to change you before He changes your circumstances

    * How to pause, regulate, pray, discern, and respond instead of reacting

    * What the fruit of the Spirit actually looks like in everyday life

    * How to surrender your emotions and thoughts to God

    * Practical ways to begin walking with the Holy Spirit every day

    Scriptures: Galatians 5:16–25, Romans 8:5–6, James 1:19–20, Psalm 139:23–24, Luke 9:23, Romans 12:2

  • Ep. 216: You Don’t Trust People, But Do You Trust God?
    Beautiful friend, maybe you’ve been hurt, disappointed, abandoned, rejected, or let down so many times that somewhere along the way you decided, “I’ll just handle everything myself.” You stopped depending on people. You learned to protect yourself. You learned to expect disappointment so it wouldn’t hurt as much when it came. But here’s the question we’re digging into today: Have you accidentally brought that same mindset into your relationship with God? In this episode of Surrender to Heal, we’re talking about what happens when hurt and disappointment make it difficult to fully trust God — even when we want to. We’re diving into: * How betrayal, rejection, and disappointment can create a need for control * Why your nervous system may crave certainty before it feels safe enough to surrender * The difference between trusting God and trusting God to give you the outcome you want * Why faith doesn’t require knowing how the story ends * How to stop carrying the pressure of figuring everything out * What it looks like to trust God’s character when you don’t understand His plan 📖 Scriptures: Proverbs 3:5–6, Psalm 56:3–4, Isaiah 26:3–4 & Psalm 9:10 One of the biggest things I want you to take away from this episode is this: Faith isn’t certainty about the outcome. Faith is certainty about who God is 🫶🏻 You don’t have to know what He’s going to do next. You don’t have to understand the timing. You don’t have to have all the answers. You can simply pray: “God, I don’t know what You’re doing here, and I don’t know how this ends. But I know who You are. Help me trust Your character when I cannot understand Your plan.” Maybe God isn’t asking you to figure it all out. Maybe He’s asking you to finally put it down. 🤍 ✨ Ready to go deeper? If you recognize that fear, control, past wounds, or survival mode are making it difficult for you to surrender and trust God, this is the deeper work we do inside Surrender to Heal Academy. We’re learning to regulate the nervous system, identify what’s underneath our triggers, heal at the root, renew our minds, release control, and become deeply rooted in who God says we are. It’s time to stop just surviving and start surrendering, healing, and walking in freedom. ✨Surrender to Heal is now an at-your-own pace online course with instruction, lessons and workbooks to help you go from survival mode to peace, while learning how to truly surrender to God!

  • Ep. 215: Why You Don’t Feel Safe (Even When You Are)
    Hey friend, welcome back to the podcast! I’m so glad you’re here. Have you ever noticed that life can finally be calm, but your body still feels anxious, on edge, or like you’re waiting for something bad to happen? In this episode, we’re talking about why feeling safe isn’t just about your circumstances—it’s also about your nervous system. If you’ve lived through trauma, chronic stress, disappointment, or emotional pain, your body may still be operating from survival mode even though the danger has passed. Together, we’ll explore how God gently leads us from fear into His peace and what it looks like to teach your body that it’s safe again. In This Episode, We Discuss: * Why your nervous system can stay on high alert after difficult seasons * How hypervigilance and chronic stress keep you stuck in survival mode * Why peace can actually feel uncomfortable at first * What Psalm 23 teaches us about God’s invitation to rest * Five practical ways to help your mind and body begin experiencing safety again Scripture: Isaiah 26:3 – “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.” Psalm 23 – “He makes me lie down in green pastures… He restores my soul.” Just because your body doesn’t feel safe today doesn’t mean it can’t learn to experience God’s peace. Your Healing Step This Week: When you notice yourself feeling anxious or on high alert, pause. Take a slow, deep breath, place your hand over your heart, and simply pray, “Jesus, remind my body that I’m safe with You.” Practice this throughout the week as you begin teaching your nervous system to rest in God’s presence. Ready to Go Deeper? If you’re tired of living on high alert and you’re ready to move from survival mode into lasting peace, I’d love to walk alongside you inside Surrender to Heal Academy. Inside the Academy, you’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, renew your mind with biblical truth, process emotional wounds, and experience the peace God created you to live in—all within a supportive community and with personal coaching along the way. ✨ Save $100 this month: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfLcT3gcPlXXeqJLE8A2Dcj2YH9yTQ_lwknEYNyBTp-Vw8zZA/viewform 🤍 Remember: Healing happens one surrendered step at a time. Until next time… let’s surrender and heal together.

  • Ep. 212: Why You Keep Getting Triggered By The Same Things
    Welcome back beautiful friend! In this episode, we talk about something so many women silently struggle with—repeating emotional reactions that feel out of your control.
    You’ll learn:
    * What a trigger actually is (and what it is NOT)
    * Why the same situations keep affecting you so deeply
    * How old wounds shape your emotional responses
    * Why your nervous system reacts before your mind can catch up
    * A simple reflection practice to start identifying your triggers
    We also bring in biblical truth around healing and how God responds to our broken places with compassion, not shame.
    ✨ Key takeaway: Your triggers are not proof you’re failing—they are signals pointing to what still needs healing.
    💛 If this episode resonated with you:
    This is the exact work we go deeper into inside Surrender to Heal Academy. You’ll learn how to identify triggers, regulate your nervous system, and begin healing at the root instead of just managing symptoms.
