    28. Why Do I Talk Too Much? How to Make Room for Others

    Have you ever walked away from a conversation and thought, “Why did I just tell her all of that?” Or realized you talked so much that the other person barely had a chance to share? Whether you tend to overshare, talk too much when you're nervous, or struggle to make room for others, this episode is for you. I'll share how insecurity can cause us to focus so much on ourselves—what we want to say, how we're being received, and whether people like us—that we lose sight of the person right in front of us. You'll learn the difference between healthy vulnerability and oversharing, why we sometimes try to create closeness before trust has had time to grow, and how to recognize when you're dominating a conversation. We'll also talk about how to respond kindly when someone else talks too much. In this episode, you'll discover how to: Recognize when you're oversharing or taking up too much conversational space. Understand what's happening in your heart without condemning yourself. Build healthier friendships by letting trust grow over time. Become more socially aware and genuinely interested in others. Speak up kindly when someone else isn't leaving room for you. God isn't asking you to hide yourself or stop being open. He's teaching you how to love others well—and that includes making room for them, too. Three things to remember: Make room for others. Let trust grow over time. Get curious, not condemning. And through it all, invite the Holy Spirit to help you grow in self-awareness, consideration, and genuine interest in the people around you.

    27. Struggling to Make Friends? Here's What God Taught Me

    Struggling to make friends? Maybe you're shy, you don't know what to say, or you find yourself wondering what other people are thinking about you. I know that feeling. For years, I struggled to make friends and didn't even know how to start a conversation. When I finally asked God to help me, He taught me something that completely changed the way I connected with people. In this episode, I'll share how God taught me to move beyond surface-level conversations, genuinely take an interest in others, and get my eyes off myself and onto the people right in front of me. You'll discover some simple, practical ways to build friendships—and how learning to listen, remember, serve, and take an interest in someone else's world can change the way you connect with people. Because sometimes the key to making friends isn't figuring out how to get people to like you. It's learning how to love people well. ACTIVATION QUESTIONS Father, who is someone You want me to see differently? Is there someone You've already placed in my life that I've been overlooking? Father, what do You want me to know about this person? And then: Father, what do You want me to do? Is there a conversation I need to start? Is there a question I need to ask? Is there a way I can serve? Is there someone I need to invite to coffee? Just sit with Him for a few minutes and listen.   Apple podcast all episodes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/break-free-from-insecurity-intrusive-thoughts-self/id1892876547   Spotify all episodes https://open.spotify.com/show/7gRbKvsBHoFF7klxul4w6B?si=1c3565ae1eca466c  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@MarjiBroce    ✨ Take the Next Step Sign up for an Identity Breakthrough Coaching Session!  https://calendly.com/breakfreefrominsecurity/identity-breakthrough-coaching-session Email MarjoriejBroce@gmail for questions regarding the coaching.   Become an Insider and receive a short weekly email with podcast highlights and the activation: https://www.breakfreefrominsecurity.com/insider Join our Facebook community for Christian women: Break Free From Insecurity  https://www.facebook.com/groups/2093986057839244

    26. How to keep Trusting God When What He Put in Your Heart Still Hasn't Happened

    How do you trust God when what He put in your heart still hasn't happened? When you've prayed, waited, and tried to do the right thing—but you still don't understand what God is doing—it can be easy to let uncertainty turn into insecurity. You may start wondering: Did I hear God correctly? Has He forgotten me? Is He really good? Can I trust Him? In this episode, we'll look at Abraham and Sarah and discover how to trust God even when His plan doesn't make sense. You'll learn to anchor yourself in three truths: God is faithful. God is wise. God is good. You don't have to understand God's plan to trust Him. You can take the next step He gives you and leave the outcome in His hands. And when uncertainty starts telling you something about God—or about yourself—stop and ask: What am I believing right now? Is it true?

    25. What If God's Delay Isn't a Denial? When His Promise Seems Impossible

    What If God's Delay Isn't a Denial? Discover what to do when His promise seems impossible and how God may be preparing you in the waiting. Have you ever believed God put something in your heart—and then watched the circumstances make it seem less and less possible? Maybe you've waited so long that you're wondering if you missed your chance. Maybe you're thinking, I'm too old. I'm too late. I messed it up. Maybe God can do this for someone else, but not me. Abraham and Sarah knew what that felt like. God had given Abraham a promise, but as the years passed, that promise began to look humanly impossible. And yet, God had not forgotten. In this episode, we'll look at what Abraham and Sarah can teach us about God's delay, impossible circumstances, trusting God's timing, and letting go of the need to figure out how His promises will happen. I'll also share part of our family's story of waiting for God to make a seemingly impossible dream of moving overseas as missionaries a reality—and how I learned that I didn't have to know the how or put a deadline on God's promise. And we'll talk about something we often miss while we're waiting: God may be preparing you in ways that seem completely unrelated to your destiny. The relationships, lessons, disappointments, and ordinary experiences along the way may actually be stepping stones God is using to prepare you for what's ahead. Most importantly, don't put your life on hold while you wait for the dream. While you're waiting for God to do something through you, He may be doing something in you. In this episode, you'll discover: Why God's delay doesn't necessarily mean denial How insecurity can make you question something God put in your heart Why you don't have to figure out the how or put a deadline on God's promise What Abraham and Sarah teach us about trying to make God's promise happen ourselves How God can use seemingly unrelated experiences as preparation Why God may be teaching you how to work with and love people before you ever see the fulfillment of your dream How to keep the dream alive without missing the life you're living right now   If you liked this episode, you'll also like: Episode 23 — What Do You Do When What God Put in Your Heart Still Hasn't Happened?

    24. What If Waiting Isn't Wasting? What God May Be Doing While You Wait

    What do you do when God puts something in your heart—but time keeps passing and it still hasn't happened? Maybe you're wondering if you heard Him correctly. Maybe it feels like everyone else is moving forward while you're still doing the same ordinary things. Or maybe your circumstances even seem to be moving backward instead of toward the dream God placed in your heart. In this episode, we're looking at David's journey from the sheep to the throne. David was anointed to be king—and then went right back to tending sheep. He defeated Goliath, served in Saul's court, and then spent years running for his life. But those years weren't wasted. During the waiting, David learned to trust God, depend on His strength, seek His wisdom, grow in courage, honestly pour out his heart to God, praise and worship Him, and encourage himself in the Lord. What if the same is true for you? What if, while you're waiting for God to do something through you, He's doing something in you? The shepherd boy wasn't simply waiting to become king. God was forming a king while David was waiting. And maybe the season you're in isn't wasted either. Trust God with the destination... and enjoy walking with Him on the journey. 🎧 If you liked this episode, you'll also enjoy: Episode 23: What Do You Do When What God Put in Your Heart Still Hasn't Happened?

    23. What Do You Do When What God Put in Your Heart Still Hasn't Happened?

    What do you do when you believe God put something in your heart to do... but years later, it still hasn't happened? Maybe the waiting has been longer than you expected. Maybe there have been setbacks, delays, or circumstances that seem to contradict what you thought God showed you. You may even begin to wonder: Did I hear God correctly? Did I mess something up? Will this ever actually happen? In this episode, we're looking at Joseph, whose circumstances seemed to take him further away from the dream God gave him. But while Joseph was waiting, God was working. The delay is never wasted time. There is healing, growth, and maturity still happening in us. God may be working in circumstances and in the lives of other people in ways we cannot see. But while you're waiting for what God put in your heart to happen, your life is happening right now. You don't have to put your joy on hold until you reach the destination. God is with you in the process. He sees the end from the beginning, but He also cares deeply about who you're becoming along the way. In this episode, discover how to: Trust God when the dream He put in your heart seems delayed Stop letting insecurity interpret the waiting as proof that you heard God wrong Look for what God may be doing in you during the process Enjoy the life God has given you today instead of putting your joy on hold for tomorrow Make declarations because your tongue is a powerful force.  But leave off when and how it will happen.   Trust God with the destination... and enjoy walking with Him on the journey.   ✨ Take the Next Step Sign up for an Identity Breakthrough Coaching Session!  https://calendly.com/breakfreefrominsecurity/identity-breakthrough-coaching-session Email MarjoriejBroce@gmail for questions regarding the coaching.   Become an Insider and receive my free 3-Day Listening Prayer Journal, plus a short weekly email with podcast highlights and the activation: https://www.breakfreefrominsecurity.com/insider Join our Facebook community for Christian women: Break Free From Insecurity  https://www.facebook.com/groups/2093986057839244 ___________________________________________

    22. The Lies Moms Believe When Their Child Rejects Them--with Sarah Wall

    When your child pulls away, it can make you question everything—including who you are—but their choices don't get to define your identity. When your own child pulls away or doesn't want a relationship with you, it's natural to replay the past and wonder: Did I fail as a mother? Is this all my fault? What could I have done differently? If my own child rejects me, does that mean there's something wrong with me? Will things ever change? In today's episode, I'm joined by Sarah Wall, host of the Praying Moms of Estranged Children podcast and a Christian estrangement mentor. Having walked through seasons of estrangement with her own adult children, Sarah understands the worry, heartbreak, and uncertainty that moms can carry. Together, we talk about how painful circumstances can become painful beliefs about ourselves—and how to recognize the difference between healthy self-examination and condemnation that keeps us stuck in shame. We also explore how to identify the deeper lie beneath the thoughts and emotions we're experiencing, bring those beliefs to God, and begin receiving His truth. Because you may have made mistakes. We all have. But something that happened in your relationship with your child does not get to define who you are. In this episode, you'll discover: How to recognize when guilt or regret has turned into a lie about your identity The difference between saying “I made a mistake” and believing “I am a failure” How to separate your child's rejection from your identity The difference between healthy conviction and condemnation Why replaying the past isn't always repentance—sometimes it's self-punishment How to identify the deeper belief beneath painful thoughts and emotions A simple process for bringing those beliefs to God and receiving His truth Your child's estrangement may be part of your story, but it doesn't get to write your identity. ________________________ Connect with Sarah Wall Praying Moms of Estranged Children Podcast Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/praying-moms-of-estranged-children-pray-trust-in-god/id1841243613 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/58GdQYsiHfKT5Fga0fKhx6?si=4e54943ac3204db3 📚 Schedule a Peaceful Mom Coaching Session with Sarah: https://bit.ly/peacefulmom  ⓕ Facebook: Join my Praying Moms of Estranged and Prodigal Adult Children community 👥 Join the Inner Circle to get weekly faith-based inspiration: awakenedchristianwomaninsider.gr-site.com   Email Sarah: sarah@prayingmoms.co  ________________________________ ✨ Take the Next Step Sign up for an Identity Coaching Session!  https://calendly.com/breakfreefrominsecurity/identity-breakthrough-coaching-session Email MarjoriejBroce@gmail for questions regarding the coaching.   Become an Insider and receive my free 3-Day Listening Prayer Journal, plus a short weekly email with podcast highlights and a simple activation: https://www.breakfreefrominsecurity.com/insider Join our Facebook community for Christian women: Break Free From Insecurity  https://www.facebook.com/groups/2093986057839244 ___________________________________________

    21. Why You Still Feel Like an Orphan: How to Receive the Father's Love

    Many Christians love Jesus but still live like spiritual orphans. Discover how the Father's love and the Spirit of adoption help you stop striving, break free from the orphan mindset, and live from the security of knowing you already belong. Have you ever wondered why some Christians seem to live with so much freedom and joy while others spend their lives striving to prove they're enough? Why do some people celebrate another person's success while others secretly compare themselves? Why do some rest in the Father's love while others constantly wonder if they've done enough? The answer may surprise you. You can know Jesus... and still live with an orphan mindset. In this episode, we'll explore how the fear of not belonging quietly shapes our relationships, our thoughts, and even the way we relate to God. Through the story of the Prodigal Son, you'll discover that both the rebellious son and the religious son needed the very same thing—the Father's love. We'll also explore what it means to receive the Spirit of adoption in Romans 8 and why Jesus came to do more than save us from sin—He came to bring us to the Father. If you've been striving, comparing yourself to others, trying to earn God's approval, or wondering if you truly belong, this episode will encourage you to stop living like an orphan and begin living as the beloved daughter your Father says you already are. In this episode you'll discover: Why many Christians still struggle with an orphan mindset. The difference between living for identity and living from identity. What the older brother in the Prodigal Son teaches us about performance and comparison. How the Father's love frees us from striving and the need to prove ourselves. What it means to receive the Spirit of adoption and cry, "Abba, Father."

Then ask the Father: "What do You want me to know about belonging to Your family?" Listen. Write down what you sense Him saying. Then declare: I release the lie that I have to earn love. I release the lie that I don't belong. I receive the truth that I already belong to my Father. I am His daughter. I have a place in His family. ✨ Take the Next Step Identity Coaching: https://calendly.com/breakfreefrominsecurity/identity-breakthrough-coaching-session  Become an Insider and receive my free 3-Day Listening Prayer Journal, plus a short weekly email with podcast highlights and a simple activation: https://www.breakfreefrominsecurity.com/insider Join our Facebook community for Christian women: Break Free From Insecurity https://www.facebook.com/groups/2093986057839244 _____________________________________________________ Find all the episodes:  Apple podcast all episodes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/break-free-from-insecurity-intrusive-thoughts-self/id1892876547    Spotify all episodes https://open.spotify.com/show/7gRbKvsBHoFF7klxul4w6B?si=1c3565ae1eca466c
