We have a need to see beauty in all things, not only because we crave it, but because seeing beauty is a necessary skill to have to be able to see God's hand in all things, which will ultimately lead to joy and peace.
This episode is a continuation of the thoughts introduced in episode 8 about failure and how it moves us forward. In this episode, we talk about how failure can be a major factor in growing in self love and self value.
Have you ever considered that failure is actually a requirement for growth? What does that actually mean?
This is a beautiful concept on how to let the Lord work miracles in your life. By understanding that you are not enough, you actually end up becoming enough.
When you have been hurt, or betrayed, the most important person you need to forgive, is yourself. What does that mean? Why is that important? We talk about it in this episode.
This episode is more in depth and possibly a little more raw for some of you. Are you suffering from a broken heart? Do you intimately know the feeling of betrayal? Are you feeling controlled by the pain you carry? There's really only one way out, only one path to freedom. We talk about it more in depth in this episode.
How many times have you asked what does God want you to do? What is His will for you in this life? It's agency. He wants you to make choices, to own your own power, to control your own life. Then together, He will lift you to heights you never thought possible. But it all starts with you. See more at theyouniversity.life.
This episode/page is all about seeing life through a completely different set of lenses and coming to understand that everything that happens in your life is for a higher purpose.
This page is really about self-acceptance. It's about understanding that all things serve a greater purpose and that you were created exactly the way God needed and wanted you to be created. Everything about you is meant to shine. What are you hiding? Why are you not letting your beauty shine?

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
