Are you clinging to what’s comfortable—even if it’s draining your health, energy, or spirit? Maybe it’s a job you hate, a routine that no longer serves you, or even old thought patterns that keep you stuck.
In this episode of Her Holistic Healing, Alexandra (author, RN, and Christian holistic health coach) unpacks the powerful biblical lessons of the Israelites and why we often prefer the “mud pies” of what’s familiar instead of stepping into God’s best for us.
If you’re a Christian woman longing for vibrant health, renewed faith, and the courage to step into your God-given identity, this episode is for you. You’ll learn how to recognize limiting beliefs, let go of unhealthy patterns, and walk boldly into the abundant life God has designed.

Key Takeaways-
Comfort can become a cage. Just because you know what to expect doesn’t mean it’s God’s best for you.
-
The Israelites’ story is our story. It’s easy to want Egypt’s “free food” instead of trusting God’s promised land.
-
God delights in your well-being. He wants to give you good gifts and a life marked by peace and joy.
-
Faith requires movement. You may need to step away from what’s familiar to experience the healing and abundance God has prepared.
