151 | How to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed and Start Living a More Fulfilling Life by Changing One Phrase 26.10.2026 13m

Are you constantly saying, “I’m so busy,” but still feel like you’re not making progress on the things that matter most? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, we’re talking about the difference between being busy and living a FULL life. Because you can fill every hour of your calendar and still feel disconnected from God, your relationships, and the woman He’s created you to be. Somewhere along the way, we’ve normalized being busy. We wear it like a badge of honor, use it as a reason to put our own growth on hold, and convince ourselves we’ll have time for what matters when life finally slows down.

144 | Who Told You That? Uncovering the Lies About Your Identity & Replacing Them With God’s Truth with Lindsay Greear 07.09.2026 42m

So often, we believe things about ourselves that we’ve carried for years — I’m not enough. I’m too much. I’m a failure. I’ll never change. I have to prove myself. And before we even realize it, those lies begin shaping the way we see ourselves, our relationships, our choices, and even our relationship with God. In this week’s episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I’m sitting down with Lindsay Greear, author of Who Told You That? — Uncovering the Lies That Shape You and the Truth That Sets You Free. This conversation was SO powerful because Lindsay shares not only the heart behind her book, but the personal journey that led her to write it. With a background in therapy, Lindsay takes a unique approach to helping women identify the lies they’ve believed about themselves. She addresses each lie from a therapeutic perspective and then brings it back to the truth of God’s Word, helping us understand what Scripture says about who we really are. Because here’s the thing: you can’t become who God created you to be while continuing to operate from a false identity. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ The lies women commonly believe about themselves and their identity ✨ How our beliefs shape the way we live and make decisions ✨ What God’s Word says about who we really are ✨ How replacing lies with truth can change the way we live I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down and ask yourself: “Who told me that?” Because some of the things you’ve believed about yourself may not be the truth at all. And when you uncover the lie, you can finally begin to walk in the freedom that comes from knowing who God says you are. 🎧 Listen now and be encouraged to uncover the lies, embrace God’s truth, and continue becoming the woman He created you to be.
