Toxic Love: My Identity Led The Way

The men I dated reflected my own issues, and factors like "oxytocin," trauma bonding, and my self-beliefs kept me trapped in those relationships. However, after embracing the person God created me to be, I no longer see myself as a prisoner. 
Join me as I explain how my identity contributed to years of suffering in toxic relationships and how this shift has changed everything, making it impossible for me to return to that old mindset.

My Daddy Issues Created Barriers Between Me and God

"For years, I carried a silent barrier between me and God. My 'daddy issues' distorted my view of love, trust, and provision, leading me to believe independence was essential for survival."
But what if healing rewrites that narrative?
Join me as I share my transformative journey of understanding how my relationship with my earthly father distanced me from my Heavenly Father. I’ll reveal how forgiveness became key to freedom, reshaping my faith and perspective on life. This is more than a healing story; it’s about discovering a Father's limitless love.
Tune in for hope on your journey.

Identity: Parent Leadership

Today, we’re thrilled to have an exceptional guest, Coach K!  
 
She opens up about her journey as a mentor, sharing the highs and lows she encounters along the way. Coach K emphasizes the importance of keeping our humanity intact for those genuine connections and reflects on how she remains mindful of the loving patience God extends to her. Her wisdom encourages us to stay true to ourselves, set healthy boundaries, and recognize that we’re not here to "fix people."  
 
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the invaluable leadership and mentorship that begins at home.  
 
Coach K reminds us that family ministry should always come first. Often, we see leaders caring deeply for their employees, students, and church groups, while their own families may be struggling. Remember, it’s hard to be a fantastic business owner and neglectful in your role as a partner or to be an exceptional nurse yet distant from your loved ones.  
 
Embrace your identity in God, cherish it, and invite Him to work through you and your family!
