ONE spot left to begin coaching in September! Let's connect HERE! One of the biggest lessons I learned after confessing my affair and beginning my healing journey was that God wasn't interested in an agenda. He was not in a hurry for me to heal.

Friend, I am so grateful Jesus was a human just like us. That means I can study Scripture to see what He did, and I want to do that too! One thing Jesus did was have regular times of REST.

Last episode, we talked about getting out of your head and taking back control of your mind and thoughts. Today, I think it's equally as important to talk about our bodies.

It wasn't until my affair confession that I finall…

One thing I learned from my coach early on in my journey was that being decisive helps expedite your healing process. Make the decision, choose your choice, and start walking.
