    Faith Over Fear: Speaking From the Heart

    When fear takes over, it often shows up in our voices—snapping, rushing, over-explaining. We want to protect, but what our kids (and our hearts) need most is presence. In this soul-grounded conversation, Michelle DeKeyser and Abigail Price—known as That Psalm 91 Lady—explore what it means to speak from the heart and choose faith over fear. Through guided meditation, reflection, and heart-centered conversation, they show how the words we speak shape our homes, our peace, and our connection with God. 💛 This episode blends grounding practice, biblical truth, and practical wisdom to help you stop reacting from fear and start responding with faith. In every women’s circle, Speak From the Heart invites us to share truthfully and tenderly—without judgment, advice, or performance.It’s about presence, not persuasion.You don’t speak to fix anyone; you speak to connect—with yourself, with others, and with the Divine. In this episode, Michelle and Abigail explore how that same practice applies to motherhood and faith—learning to speak peace over chaos, declare promises over fear, and let your heart guide your words. 00:00 Introduction to Mama Genius Podcast00:32 Meet Abigail Price: The Psalm 91 Lady01:51 Stitching In: Creating an Energetic Connection02:59 Guided Meditation: Releasing Fear and Embracing Peace06:43 Parenting vs. Coaching: Empowering Our Children11:45 The Power of Psalm 91: A Mother's Perspective18:09 The Importance of Circle: Connection and Healing20:56 Conclusion: Embracing Faith and Connection How speaking from the heart shifts fear into faith A guided meditation for releasing anxiety through breath and imagery How Psalm 91 provides grounding for mothers navigating uncertainty Why communication rooted in love transforms our homes How women’s circles mirror divine connection and belonging ✨ Join the Next Mama Genius Circle: Experience connection and reflection → mamageniushub.com/cocreate✨ Connect with Abigail Price: workinggodsword@gmail.com Abigail Price, also known as That Psalm 91 Lady, is a faith-driven teacher, visionary, and spiritual mentor who helps parents replace fear with divine imagery.
