Click the link here - https://www.allen.systems/optin-alejandracrisafulli63381047 What happens when your faith is strong but your soul is still breaking? In this episode of Decide to Heal, I sit down with Priscilla Marie Lopez, a wife, mother, and content creator who went from burnout and emotional collapse to rediscovering herself through faith, courage, and deep inner healing. Priscilla opens up about the pain of childhood trauma, her father’s absence, the pressure of success, and the moment she realised she was “dealing” with her wounds, not healing them. We talk about what it takes to rebuild when everything feels lost, your peace, your marriage, your identity, and how true healing only begins when you surrender control and let God meet you in the mess. This isn’t just a story of struggle; it’s a testimony of redemption, motherhood, and spiritual renewal. If you’ve ever faced burnout, family wounds, or faith fatigue, this conversation will speak to your soul. Watch this episode to see how real healing begins.

Click the link here - https://www.allen.systems/optin-alejandracrisafulli63381047 In this deeply raw and personal episode of Decide to Heal, I open up about a moment of vulnerability that nearly broke me, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I recently faced a health challenge that knocked me down, leaving me grieving the loss of the body I once knew and feeling the weight of not being able to show up for the people I love, especially my husband. But in that pain, I was reminded of a powerful truth: healing isn't passive. It requires participation, active engagement, and a willingness to face the discomfort that comes with growth. As I walk through this season of my own healing, I share the lessons I've learned along the way and invite you to join me in choosing healing, not just when we're at rock bottom, but as a lifestyle. If you're ready to stop surviving and start truly healing, this episode is for you.

If you’re a high-performing woman running on fumes, this conversation will hit home. Amanda’s story is a reminder that healing is possible and often starts with listening to your intuition and saying yes to the deeper work.

    Ep. 23 Affirmations or Faith? This 1 Biblical Truth Will Change How You Heal

    Wanting to be coached, guided, and mentored by Alejandra Crisafulli live here on the podcast? Fill out the application here -⁠ https://the180methodcoaching.com/alejandra-consultation⁠ This episode might ruffle some feathers, but that’s okay. I didn’t start Decide to Heal to keep things comfortable. I started it to tell the truth. And the truth is, affirmations aren’t the answer we’ve been sold. In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why these feel-good phrases often leave us feeling more exhausted than empowered. We’ll talk about what Scripture actually says about healing, faith, and surrender and why true transformation doesn’t come from positive thinking but from releasing control and letting God lead. If affirmations have ever left you feeling like you’re still not enough, even after repeating them a hundred times… this one’s for you. I promise, you’re not broken. You’re just being invited deeper. Into trust. Into truth. Into peace that can’t be earned, only received. DM me the word Heal on Instagram @theballercoach to start your own 180 Method journey. Let’s walk into healing, together.  Key moments of this interview: 0:00 Why This Episode Might Ruffle Feathers 1:00 The Truth About Affirmations 2:30 The Bible’s Take on Healing4:00 Why Affirmations Fall Short 6:00 The Exhaustion of Self-Managed Survival 7:30 The 180 Method: Healing at the Root 8:30 Surrender: The Heart of Real Healing 10:00 Jesus Healed Through Relationship, Not Ritual 11:45 The Mustard Seed Faith 12:45 Agreement Over Affirmation 14:00 The Invitation: Stop Striving, Start Healing 15:00 DM "HEAL" for a Complimentary Session Thank you for tuning in to The Decide To Heal podcast.

    Ep. 22 You’re Not Broken, You’re Misaligned: Rudi Reveals The Real Reason You Still Feel Unworthy

    Wanting to be coached, guided, and mentored by Alejandra Crisafulli live here on the podcast? Fill out the application here -⁠ https://the180methodcoaching.com/alejandra-consultation⁠ In this episode of Decide to Heal, I sit down with my friend and transformational teacher, Rudi Riekstins, a man whose presence alone reminds you of your worth. We go deep into what it really means to remember who you are, not through a self-help book or a high-ticket coach, but in the stillness of your own presence. Rudi opens up about hitting rock bottom after achieving everything the world says should make you happy. We talk about chasing validation, breaking cycles, and how true power lies not in what we own, but in what we align with. This conversation is a wake-up call for anyone feeling empty despite “having it all.” If you’ve been trying to fill the void with things, people, or praise, this is the moment you’ll want to sit with. It’s honest. It’s freeing. It’s what healing actually looks like.  Mediation link: https://rudiriekstins.com/meditations Community link: https://community.rudiriekstins.com/community-f208ec82-066a-4c38-a174-1636c10716c3 Key moments of this interview: 0:00 Meet Rudi Riekstins 3:42 The Moment Everything Changed 10:24 A Wound from Childhood 13:04 The Worth Trap We All Fall Into 18:05 Focused Thought Shapes Reality 21:33 Michael Jackson, Divine Creativity & Alignment 26:33 Presence, Awareness & Your True Self 30:04 Redefining Success 38:04 The First 20 Minutes That Shape Your Day 46:07 Free Gift: The Mood Elevator Thank you for tuning in to The Decide To Heal podcast.
