    5 Signs You’re Self-Sabotaging | Joel 3:10

    Send us Fan Mail Are your words quietly working against the confidence you are praying for? In this episode of The Self-Love Journaling With God Podcast, we discuss how negative self-talk, old labels, fear-based thoughts, and repeated “I can’t” statements can become self-sabotaging words that weaken confidence and shape how you see yourself. Rooted in Joel 3:10 and 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, this faith-filled conversation will help you notice the words that have been agreeing with fear, shame, and old wounds—and begin replacing them with God’s truth. You’ll learn five signs you may be self-sabotaging with your words, including speaking more about what you cannot do than what God can help you do, defining yourself by your struggle, using “always” and “never” to limit your future, mistaking fear for wisdom, and repeating old labels more than God’s truth. This episode is for the woman who wants to grow in self-love, confidence, emotional healing, and faith while learning how to take negative thoughts captive and speak with courage again—one thought, one sentence, and one journal page at a time.  Before we begin, if you are tired of shrinking in relationships just to feel loved, my 7-day audio plus email course, Why I Keep Shrinking to Be Loved? will help you understand the root of that pattern and begin healing it with faith and guided reflection.

    Are Your Words Keeping Wounds Alive? Romans 12:2

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever noticed that the words that hurt you the most sometimes become the words you repeat to yourself? In this episode of the Self-Love Journaling With God Podcast, we continue the series When Words Shape Your Worth with Episode 3: Are Your Words Keeping Wounds Alive? Romans 12:2. We are talking about how negative self-talk can keep old wounds active, how painful words can turn into inner beliefs, and why healing often begins when we stop agreeing with what wounded us. Through Romans 12:2 and 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, we will explore what it means to renew your mind, take thoughts captive, and replace harmful inner language with God’s truth. We will also look at Peter’s story after denying Jesus and how Jesus met him with restoration instead of shame. If you have been replaying regret, criticism, rejection, or old labels in your mind, this episode will help you slow down, notice the words you have been repeating, and begin practicing a new truth with God. You will also be guided through a simple sentence-stem journaling practice to help you identify one painful sentence you are ready to stop repeating and replace it with truth. Main takeaway: You cannot heal fully while continuing to repeat words that keep you bound.  Before we begin, if you are tired of shrinking in relationships just to feel loved, my 7-day audio plus email course, Why I Keep Shrinking to Be Loved? will help you understand the root of that pattern and begin healing it with faith and guided reflection.
