The Identity You Built to Survive
4d ago00:14:49Tap to summarizeOverachiever. Perfectionist. The strong one. The one who holds everything together. Most of us wear these labels like personality traits. But what if a lot of them are actually who we have to become? In this episode, I'm taking a closer look at the survival patterns that show up so often in the women I work with and mentor; the ones that started as solutions to real pain and real environments, and somewhere along the way became an identity. This isn't about shame or tearing down what's gotten you this far. It's about getting curious enough to ask: is this a God-given gift, or is this a strategy I no longer need?

Transcribe →How to Feel Your Emotions Without Spiraling
2w ago00:13:34Tap to summarizeCan I ask you something? When a hard emotion comes up, what's your first instinct? If you're like a lot of people, it's to fight it, analyze it, or pray it away as fast as possible. Because somewhere along the way, we started believing that feeling something meant we were about to spiral. In this episode, I'm going to gently push back on that. Feeling your emotions and spiraling are not the same thing, and the difference might surprise you.

Transcribe →What to Focus on First in Your Healing Journey with God
3w ago00:10:52Tap to summarizeHere's something I want you to hear before we even get started - God is not waiting on you to do the right things before he shows up for you. That pressure you feel to heal correctly, to read the right things, think the right way, follow the right steps? That's not coming from Him. In this episode, I'm slowing way down and talking about what to actually focus on first in your healing journey, because the problem for most of us isn't that we don't want to heal, it's that we're completely overwhelmed trying to heal everything all at once. Let's change that.

Transcribe →The Bible Says “Take Every Thought Captive”… But How?
4w ago00:11:53Tap to summarizeCan I be honest with you? A lot of us are completely worn out by our own minds and we don't even realize why. We've been taught that "taking every thought captive" means catching every bad thought, fixing it, and never letting it happen again. So we monitor, we analyze, we panic, and then we feel shame when it doesn't work. In this episode, I'm going back to 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 and talking about what this scripture is actually inviting us into, because it's so much less exhausting than what most of us have been doing.

Transcribe →Learning to Be Okay When Someone Isn’t Okay With You
May 1300:13:42Tap to summarizeFor many of us, discomfort doesn’t come from conflict itself; it comes from the belief that someone else’s disappointment must mean something is wrong with us. When approval has felt like safety for most of your life, even small moments of tension can trigger anxiety, overthinking, and the urge to fix or perform. This episode takes an honest look at why being okay when someone isn’t okay with you feels so hard, how our nervous system and faith both play a role, and what it means to remain steady, loving, and emotionally grounded without needing everyone to understand or agree with you.

Transcribe →3 Subtle Mistakes Keeping You Stuck in Anxiety
May 600:15:45Tap to summarizeI want to start today with a phrase a lot of us live by, sometimes without even realizing it: If I can just understand this… I’ll feel better.When anxiety shows up, it’s often not because you’re doing something wrong or lacking faith. It’s because different parts of you are trying to protect you the only way they know how. And when we misunderstand that, we end up fighting ourselves instead of finding relief.Today I want to slow this down and look at what anxiety is actually rooted in, why control and avoidance can keep the loop going, and how peace becomes possible, not by forcing calm, but by understanding what’s really happening inside you.Also, don't forget!👇🏻Summer Sale – 50% OFF Untangle Your ThoughtsIf you’re ready to stop feeling stuck in your thoughts and start moving forward with clarity, you can join the course at 50% off for a limited time.

Transcribe →The Bible Says, “God Is Near,” But How Do You Believe That When He Feels Distant?
Apr 2900:09:46Tap to summarizeMany believers wrestle with the tension between what Scripture says about God’s nearness and what they actually experience in moments of silence, pain, or emotional heaviness. There are seasons where God feels distant, not because faith is gone, but because something inside doesn’t register His presence the way it once did. If you’ve ever wondered why you can believe God is close and still feel far from Him, or why prayer can feel like it’s going unanswered in the middle of real struggle, this episode is for you. Today, we slow down that disconnect and look at what may be shaping your experience of distance so you can begin to understand it with more honesty and less self-blame.Also, don't forget!👇🏻Summer Sale – 50% OFF Untangle Your ThoughtsIf you’re ready to stop feeling stuck in your thoughts and start moving forward with clarity, you can join the course at 50% off for a limited time.🫶🏻 CLICK HERE!Rooting for you,JessicaI’d love to hear from you where you’re at, what you’re walking through, and what would actually help you most right now.If you have a minute, click this link and fill out a short survey.

Transcribe →The Missing Piece in Your Healing (Hint: It’s Not More Mindset Work)
Apr 2200:20:06Tap to summarizeA lot of what’s being shared in the wellness and mindset space can start to feel overwhelming. There are always more things to fix, more things to optimize, more pressure to “get it right.” And yet, even with all of that effort, many people still feel anxious, dysregulated, or mentally stuck in ways they can’t seem to think their way out of. If you’ve been trying to do the right things but still feel like something isn’t adding up internally, you’re not alone in that tension. In this episode, we slow down and look at what may be missing beneath the surface and why your experience may have less to do with effort and more to do with what your body actually needs to feel supported.

Transcribe →Does God Give You More Than You Can Handle? Or Have We Misunderstood That Completely?
Apr 1500:13:01Tap to summarizeMany believers have been taught the phrase, “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” For some, that idea has brought comfort. For others, it has quietly added pressure, especially in seasons where life feels overwhelming, heavy, or unrelenting. If you’ve ever wondered why things still feel like too much even while trying to trust God, this episode is for you. Today’s conversation explores where that belief comes from, how Scripture is often misunderstood, and how overwhelm can become less about what you’re carrying and more about the meaning you’ve attached to it.Rooting for you,JessicaSpring Sale – 50% OFF Untangle Your ThoughtsIf you’re ready to stop feeling stuck in your thoughts and start moving forward with clarity, you can join the course at 50% off for a limited time.👉 CLICK HERE!Next steps:Learn more about working with me 1:1 as your mental health coach: https://www.jessicahottle.com/mental-health-coachingOr book your free 20-minute consultation here!Email me at >> jessica@jessicahottle.comThe information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical or clinical advice.

Transcribe →The Bible Says “Do Not Be Anxious”… But You Still Are
Apr 800:15:01Tap to summarizeIf you’ve been following God, doing the right things, trying to renew your mind, and yet you still feel anxious or worn down - this episode is for you.For a long time, I thought growth meant pushing forward no matter what - staying disciplined, strong, and productive. On the outside, it looked healthy; spiritually, it sounded right. But underneath, I was ignoring how rushed my soul felt and how heavy my body was carrying everything.And I didn’t realize it then, but I wasn’t always “pressing on” because I was free. Sometimes I was just afraid to stop. That’s what I want to slow down and talk about today.Rooting for you,JessicaSpring Sale – 50% OFF Untangle Your ThoughtsIf you’re ready to stop feeling stuck in your thoughts and start moving forward with clarity, you can join the course at 50% off for a limited time.👉 CLICK HERE!Next steps:Learn more about working with me 1:1 as your mental health coach: https://www.jessicahottle.com/mental-health-coachingOr book your free 20-minute consultation here!Email me at >> jessica@jessicahottle.comThe information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical or clinical advice.
