Hey friends,
In today’s episode, we’re going beyond just breaking free. We’re diving into what it means to truly heal, to rediscover who you are in Christ, and to take back the voice that toxic relationships may have silenced. I know what it feels like to carry the weight of bitterness, fear, and unforgiveness. But I also know the freedom that comes when we surrender it all to Jesus.
Ask yourself:
We’ll talk about practical steps—daily surrender, renewing your mind, setting boundaries, and choosing forgiveness. Most importantly, we’ll explore how the Gospel empowers you to live in freedom, no longer defined by the past, but transformed by the love of Christ.
This is more than just a podcast episode; it’s a moment of breakthrough. So, take a deep breath, grab a journal, and let’s walk this journey of healing together.
And remember—if today’s message resonates with you, I’d love to support you on a deeper level. You can book a biblical counseling or coaching session with me, or grab your Happy Kid Toolkit for even more guidance on how to step into the life God has for you.
You are loved. You are chosen. You are enough.
Tune in now and let the healing begin.
May the Lord bless you.
xoxo,
Danielle

Hey friends, if you’ve ever been caught in a toxic relationship—whether with a spouse, friend, co-worker, family member, or church leader—you know how deeply it can wound you. I’ve been there too, and I know what it’s like to feel stuck, confused, and like you’ve lost parts of yourself along the way.
In this episode, I’m opening up about my own journey of breaking free from toxic relationships and the healing process that comes afterward. I’ll introduce you to a tool that’s been life-changing for me and many others—the Unhappy Kid Triangle—which helps you identify the toxic roles we often find ourselves playing, whether it’s as the Helpless Baby, the Bossy Helper, or the Blaming Bully. I’ve personally cycled through all of these roles at different points, and recognizing them was the first step in my healing.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the weight of toxic dynamics, I want you to know that I understand how hard it is. But I also want you to know that freedom is possible. You can break free, just like I did.
Here’s what I’ll be sharing:
If you’re tired of feeling trapped, I’m here to tell you—you’re not alone, and there’s a way out. I know it because I’ve lived it. Together, we’ll take those first steps toward healing and rediscovering who you are in Christ.
So hit play, subscribe, and share this with someone who needs it. Let’s walk this journey to freedom together.
May the Lord bless you.
xoxo,
Danielle

In today’s episode, we’re going deeper. I’ll guide you through Step 4: Challenging and replacing those limiting core beliefs with God’s truth, and Step 5: Setting healthy boundaries that align your relationships with who God created you to be.
I’m also sharing my personal journey of navigating a toxic friendship, the spiritual battle I faced, and how setting firm boundaries finally gave me the freedom and peace I had been searching for. Even when we’ve done the deep work, the enemy loves to stir up old lies to keep us trapped in confusion. But through God’s grace and truth, we can break free.
Let’s walk this road together, breaking the chains of toxic patterns, reclaiming our worth, and stepping into the healing God has for us. Tune in, and let’s keep moving forward in freedom!

6. Listen to Part 1 of the two-part series "Healing from the Inside Out: 5 Steps to Break Free from Toxic Relationships"
Have you ever looked in the mirror and asked yourself, “Why do I keep ending up in relationships that leave me feeling empty, unworthy, or invisible?” Perhaps you’ve felt the sting of rejection or the suffocating weight of constantly seeking approval, only to be met with more heartache. What if the very beliefs you hold about yourself are the chains that keep you bound to these toxic dynamics?
In this deeply emotional and transformative episode—the first part of a powerful two-part series—we dive into the heart of why we attract the relationships that hurt us the most. We explore the hidden core beliefs that silently shape our lives, influencing every connection we make—whether it’s with a partner, a friend, a family member, or even a spiritual leader. These beliefs, often forged in the fires of early experiences, family dynamics, and significant relationships, can create patterns that trap us in cycles of pain and disappointment.
Are you constantly striving for love, yet always feeling like it’s just out of reach? Do you find yourself in relationships where you’re giving everything but receiving nothing in return? This episode will help you uncover the “why” behind these patterns.
Using the powerful lens of biblical truth and practical wisdom, we begin the journey of breaking free. You’ll learn how to recognize and challenge the lies you’ve believed about yourself and discover the truth of who you are in God’s eyes—fearfully and wonderfully made. Together, we’ll walk through the first three of five essential steps that will help you transform your core beliefs and begin to heal from the inside out.
Grab a pen, find a quiet place, and get ready to reflect deeply as we embark on this journey of healing and renewal. This isn’t just another podcast episode—it’s the beginning of a turning point, a chance to finally say, “No more!” to the relationships that have held you back and step into the freedom and love you were always meant to experience. And don’t forget to tune in for Part 2, where we’ll continue to uncover the steps to lasting transformation and wholeness.
May the Lord bless you.
xoxo,
Danielle
