Welcome back to Rise and Reclaim After Divorce! In today’s episode, I’m joined by my dear friend and life coach, Toni Thrash, as we dive into part 2 on a topic that affects every part of our healing journey: self-talk.

Whether it’s the inner dialogue in our minds or the words we speak over ourselves, our self-talk has the power to either build us up or keep us stuck in cycles of pain. In this conversation, Toni and I unpack:

• How self-talk can sabotage our healing: Understanding the impact of negative narratives we replay in our minds.
• The connection between self-talk and our faith: Using the Word of God to transform our thinking and align our thoughts with His truth.
• Practical tips and resources: Tools and strategies that have helped us rewrite our self-talk, reclaim our joy, and move forward in healing.

We’ll share personal stories, scripture, and actionable advice to help you take back your life and break free from the grip of negative self-talk.

Key Takeaways:

1. Recognize toxic self-talk: Learn to identify the lies you’ve been believing about yourself.
2. Speak life over yourself: Replace negative words with affirmations rooted in God’s promises.
3. Transform your mind with scripture: Dive into verses that encourage renewal and healing.

Resources Mentioned:

• Key Bible verses for renewing your mind: Romans 12:2, Philippians 4:8, and Psalm 139:14.
• Toni Thrash’s favorite tools for reframing self-talk.
• Journaling prompts to help shift your inner dialogue.

This episode will leave you encouraged, equipped, and ready to reclaim your healing journey with God at the center.
