How to Break Free from Self-Doubt and Embrace Who God Created You to Be #216
Do you know God loves you… but somehow you don’t always feel it?
You know you’re valuable to God. Yet when it’s time to set boundaries, pursue what brings you joy, take care of yourself, or believe your needs matter, you hesitate. Why?
In this episode, Bonnie explores why knowing the truth in your head isn’t always enough to change how you feel about yourself. Through personal story, the power of labels, and scripture, you’ll discover how self-doubt often grows from identities we’ve accepted that were never meant to define us.
You’ll learn how God reshapes your identity, why self-affirmation research matters, and a simple soul care practice to live with more confidence.
If you’ve ever struggled to feel confident, worthy, beautiful, or enough, this episode will help you.
