This episode explores the transformative power of positive self-talk, challenging the double standard many Christian women over 40 live with—showing grace to others while being harsh on themselves. 


Key Scriptures:

Luke 6:31 - "Do to others as you would have them do to you"
Mark 12:29-31 - "Love your neighbor as yourself"
2 Corinthians 10:5 - "We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ"
Philippians 4:8 - "Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable—think about such things"


Main Topics Covered in this Conversation:

  • The double standard we live with (How we see beauty in others but struggle to see it in ourselves)
  • The mental health impact of negative self-talk
  • Why self-love is actually biblical (Mark 12:31)
  • The science behind self-talk
  • Physical health benefits of positive thinking
  • Practical transformation steps
  • Self-care as spiritual practice
  • Reframe self-care as stewardship of God's temple, not selfishness
