Flying Free

Natalie Hoffman is a God send for me personally. In late March 2022, I began listening to her podcast (randomly saw a post about her book on facebook “Is It Me” — I have not read the book. I am not in that place personally to sit and read, but listening to the podcast has been effortless and honestly exactly what I needed in my “lazy” (for the lack of words) state of mind. I had become so numb with shame and guilt and agony – Wondering why my faith and strength were not enough and how God was punishing me for my past sins and so forth, just completely crushed under the weight of my never ending failures and somehow I had never realized just how bad my beliefs had gone. My beliefs about who God was and who I was were false. They were lies. I had no idea and Natalie through her *FREE* podcast, taught me this. My brain has done a 360, it has not been easy, its been painful, but freeing! Very freeing. I am now met with the realities of my situation and its not pleasant, but its real and its my life. I am finally taking control and with purpose making decisions for myself like I’ve never done before. I’m thankful for Natalie and her being a voice for someone like me who didn’t even realize I was silencing my own self! I will shout and proclaim Natalie’s impact on my life forever. I have not joined the programs Natalie offers which is Flying Free and Flying Higher. She touches on these in her podcast and I plan to join Flying Free soon. I have downloaded to my iPad as many of her Podcast Episodes as I can and I listen to her often if not daily. Episodes that have inspired and impacted me in big ways are episodes 160, 62, 115, 53, 103, 4, 109, 110 & 43. Also, be kind to yourself. Going through difficult situations and seasons can be so exhausting and rough to navigate, you are doing the best you can, so give your self some credit that you are doing everything you can with everything you have. All my love to you in your healing journey.

So thankful for this podcast that gives language to the confusion of a hurtful marriage. Natalie offers so much truth, hope, and help to get to freedom no matter if you stay or go.

This podcast is amazing for Christian women who were convinced that they should submit to their husbands’ abuse because “the Bible said so…” which is DEVIL’s lie that our society continues to feed to God-fearing women. I am amazed at how much I have learned in ome month about abuse I am/was going through in my marriage, blindly thinking that is my cross to bear. I am now standing up to my husband when he tries to abuse or manipulate me or my son and I am teaching him to see that his father’s behavior is NOT healthy or acceptable. I would recommend this podcast to every woman, even if your marriage is healthy, you might be able to help your friends or loved ones to recognize and address the problems in their marriages. #ILoveFlyingFreePodcast

Natalie’s books and podcasts have helped me understand the emotional and spiritual abuse I was experiencing in my marriage! She makes me laugh and sometimes cry and I always feel validated and receive confidence and encouragement to continue forward! Thank you, Natalie! ~Kim
