80. God's Presence Is the True Blessing: Finding Peace in Every Season
Have you ever done everything right—walked in integrity, honored God—and still ended up misunderstood or betrayed?
That’s exactly where Joseph found himself in Genesis 39… and if I’m honest, that’s where many of us find ourselves too.
In this episode, I want to remind you of something powerful: God’s presence is the true blessing.
Not the position, not the promotion, not the applause—but His nearness.
We’ll walk through Joseph’s highs and lows together and talk about what it really means when Scripture says, “The Lord was with Joseph.” Because that same presence that sustained him through false accusation and prison is the same presence that holds you today.
You’ll also hear a beautiful story from one of the women who attended our Renew & Restore Women’s Healing Retreat—a reminder that even in the hardest seasons, God is still working, healing, and redeeming what feels lost.
✨ Want to go deeper?
I just published a new blog post that pairs with this episode:
📝 “God’s Presence Is the True Blessing”
It’s a heartfelt reflection filled with scripture, a little humor, and practical ways to stay grounded in God’s presence—even when life feels unfair.

If you’ve been in a season of waiting, suffering, or feeling unseen, this episode and blog are for you.
My prayer is that as you listen and read, you’ll begin to recognize that His presence is not only enough—it’s everything.
xoxo,
Danielle

79. Healing from Betrayal & Broken Trust: What Forgiveness Looks Like in Relationships
Betrayal hurts in a way few other wounds do. Maybe it came from a spouse, a close friend, a parent, or even someone in your church. When trust is broken, it can shake your whole world and leave you wondering if you’ll ever feel safe again.
In this episode, I want to walk with you through what forgiveness really looks like after betrayal. Together, we’ll talk about:
How to release bitterness without excusing sin.
Why forgiveness and reconciliation aren’t the same thing.
The difference between building healthy boundaries and putting up walls.
How to recognize real fruit of repentance when trust is being rebuilt.
And how to step off the Unhappy Kid Triangle and move forward in freedom.
Friend, I know this isn’t easy. Betrayal cuts deep. But Jesus knows this pain — He was betrayed by one of His closest friends — and He shows us the way through. My prayer is that as you listen, you’ll find hope, clarity, and courage to keep moving toward healing and freedom in Christ.
📥 Don’t forget to download your free resource, The Letter of Release Guide, linked in the show notes below.
If this episode encourages you, share it with someone who’s carrying the sting of betrayal today. And remember — forgiveness doesn’t erase the past, but it does free your future.
xoxo,
Danielle

78. From Forgiven to Free: How to Stop Picking Back Up What You’ve Laid Down
Friend, have you ever laid your shame or guilt at the cross… only to find yourself picking it back up again the next day? You’re not alone.
In this episode, I want to walk with you into the freedom that Romans 8:1 promises: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” We’ll talk about why shame keeps creeping back, how to tell the difference between conviction and condemnation, and how the Happy Kid Toolkit can help you break the cycle.
I’ll also share a new tool — the “Do Not Reclaim” note — to help you resist the urge to carry what Jesus has already carried for you. Together, we’ll explore practical ways to stop replaying old regrets, replace shame with truth, and live in the joy of being forgiven and free.
And if you don’t yet know Jesus as your Savior, this episode includes a heartfelt invitation to surrender your life to Him — because true freedom begins with Him.

77. Blessed Are the Forgiven: How God Covers Our Sin and Heals Our Shame
Friend, the happiest life isn’t found in perfection — it’s found in forgiveness. In this episode, I walk with you through Romans 4:7–8 and Psalm 32, where David reminds us what it feels like to be covered by God’s mercy and released from shame.
I’ll share pieces of my own story, a tool from the Happy Kid Toolkit, and the powerful Letter of Release exercise we used at my women’s retreat — because I want you to know that you don’t have to carry guilt or regret one more day.
Come sit with me in this episode, and let’s discover together what it means to be forgiven, covered, and free. And don’t forget to grab your free Letter of Release Guide in the show notes below — it’s my gift to help you take the next step into freedom.

76. When Church Hurts: Finding Healing, Forgiveness, and Wisdom to Stay or Leave
What do you do when the place that’s supposed to be safe, healing, and welcoming becomes a place of hurt? Maybe you’ve felt favoritism, elitism, hypocrisy, or even shaming in your church. It can shake your faith and leave you wondering if you belong.
In this episode, I unpack how to:
Recognize church hurt and name it for what it is.
Forgive without enabling — releasing bitterness while still setting healthy boundaries.
Discern wisely if God is calling you to stay, speak up, or step away.
Anchor your healing in Scripture and the unchanging love of Christ.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing sin. It means freeing your own heart from bitterness and trusting God to be your defender. With practical steps and biblical wisdom, I guide you to a place of hope, healing, and renewed faith in Jesus — even when church hurts.
📖 Romans 15:13 — “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Danielle
