    S1E10: The Widow's Revenge with Alissa Holt

    Send a text In this episode we’re dismantling the narrative of pity around widowhood and revealing the power, resilience, and divine purpose that God births through pain. Being a widow doesn’t mean being weak—it means you’ve walked through fire and still have the faith to rise. This episode challenges cultural perceptions, dives into the spiritual and emotional strength of the widow’s journey, and reminds every woman that loss does not disqualify you from destiny…it often launches you into it. Listen into the conversation between 2 widow’s; their story of pain to purpose; and hear the song that lead to moments of healing of the heart.  In this episode, you’ll learn: * Why you should stop apologizing for your power after loss * How grief can become the greatest gateway to grace * The difference between pity and purpose * How God uses pain as the platform for new beginnings * Biblical and practical ways to embrace strength after sorrow * How the church has failed the widow If you’ve ever been underestimated, overlooked, or pitied—this episode is your reminder that your pain has purpose and your story still carries power. About Alissa Holt: Alissa Holt is a mother, author, speaker, worship leader, breast cancer survivor, and content creator. She travels the world speaking destiny into the dirt of hurting hearts and minds.

    S1E9: Forgiveness: The Gift You Give Yourself with Pastor David Jacques

    Send a text What if forgiveness is the key to your healing?  In this powerful episode Pastor David Jacques dives into the healing power of forgiveness not as a cliché, but as a spiritual and psychological truth.

    S1E8: The Healing Paradox: Grief Meets Contentment with Maria Fernandez

    Send a text Grief and Contentment. Two words that don’t seem to belong together, yet in the life of faith, they often collide in the most sacred way. In this episode we explore what it truly means to hold grief in one hand and peace in the other. Grief doesn’t mean the absence of faith, and contentment doesn’t mean denying your pain. Instead, contentment is the deep, steady trust that God is with you in the valley, working all things for good, even when your heart is heavy with loss. We’ll talk about: ✨ How grief can transform rather than define you ✨ The biblical call to contentment, even in suffering ✨ Practical ways to embrace peace without dismissing pain ✨ Finding God’s presence when answers are absent This conversation is for anyone who has ever asked, “How do I keep moving when my heart is broken?” or wondered if peace is even possible in the middle of sorrow. Because the truth is, pain and peace can coexist. And when they do, God does some of His deepest work. #GriefAndHealing #FaithInTheValley #ContentmentInChrist #PeaceInPain #HealingJourney About Maria Fernandez: Maria Elena Fernandez, MS, LMHC,  Bachelor of Science degree – Magna Cum Laude, Organizational Management, Master of Science degree – Counseling/Psychology,  Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Owner of a Private Practice, Life Strategies Counseling, in Ocala, Florida.  Maria is a speaker, workshop host, and educator in the area of Mental Health, Trauma, Sexual Abuse, Relationships and Grief.  She conducts faith-based workshops for leaders with a focus on personal development, Mental Health psychoeducation and the Intersection of Faith and Mental Health.  She also provides Gottman marriage workshops for couples, and hosts small groups for women dealing with divorce, grief and trauma.  She believes in leading and encouraging others with a servant’s heart.  Connect with Maria Fernandez Website: https://lifestrategiescounseling.com/ Support the show Connect with Dr. Marcelline Girlie: Website: https://www.marcellinegirlie.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/drmarcellinegirlie/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarcellinegirlie/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@Dr.MarcellineGirlie There's A Juice For That Book: https://a.co/d/i2geZMn Vivid Life Wellness Oils: https://www.marcellinegirlie.com/shop Vivid Minds Mental Care: https://www.vividmindscare.com/
