Why Being So Hard on Yourself Is Keeping You Stuck (Part 1)

Can I tell you something that took me a long time to see in my own life? That voice telling you to push harder, do better, keep going - the one that sounds like it's helping you? It might not be encouragement at all. 

In this episode, I'm starting a two-part conversation about shame, self-criticism, and why being so hard on yourself is actually keeping you stuck rather than moving you forward. I'm going to talk about the difference between guilt and shame, how shame quietly fuels the patterns you can't seem to break, and what Galatians 5 showed me about the internal war so many of us feel while we're healing.  

Also, don't forget!👇🏻

Want help taking the next step?

If this episode helped you recognize some of the thoughts, emotions, or patterns keeping you stuck, you don't have to stop with simply understanding what's happening. 

Here are two ways I can help you take the next step:

1. Untangle Your Thoughts is my self-paced course designed to help Christian women understand what’s happening beneath their thoughts and emotions, identify the patterns keeping them stuck, and learn practical tools to begin responding differently all while keeping God at the center of the process.

Inside, I walk you step-by-step through the process so you don't have to keep wondering, “Okay, but how do I actually change this?”
