REVIEW OF THE EPISODE:


The most helpful brain training program



-Kelsey Siss



This podcast came at the perfect time for me personally. I cannot recommend it enough and continue to tell all my friends (and counselor - had to give that a plug because I know you read these and are pro therapy!) about it as well, Trish, I'm your biggest cheerleader right now!



Having grown up in the church and worked in ministry for several years alongside my husband (before pursuing alternative careers) I am realizing how ill equipped and uniformed I was on what it meant to "take my thoughts captive." That verse just always felt like a nice suggestion, certainly not something that was ever possible. 



Trish takes this verse and concept and through er podcast equips us with the tools and practies necessary to TRULY take our thoughts captive. Whether you consider yourself faith-based or not this is the most practical podcast I have ever listened to when it comes to training our brains. I believe for me personally it's the faith aspect that's helped it click in a whole new level for me spiritually. 



So grateful you've pursued this calling. I’m signing up for Patreon as well - I'm all ears on any advice Trish has to offer. The real deal.

STRAIGHTEN YOUR CROWN REVIEW:

"A beautifully written account of how profound and intimate God's love is for us. Trish weaves her personal story with scripture in intricate detail. She impactfully draws the reader into her story and captures the reader's heart with her words. This was a book I savored, so I could create time and space to soak in her words and personally process how God delights in me. A must-read!" -Ashtyn Circle

THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT BEING DISLIKED



So often we don't pursue our real possibilities in life because we are trying to self-protect from the potential of other people not liking us.



Let's get some things straight.



No matter who you are.



People will like you.



People will not like you.



Famous, forgettable, fat, skinny, rich, poor. 



Resisting reality makes us spin our wheels and miss out on life.



The reality is that people will not like you.



Decide to have the courage to be disliked.



It's what you make it mean when you are disliked that really matters. 







What most people make it mean:



Something is wrong with me.



I can change something about how they are thinking about me.



I don't belong.



I don't matter. 







What you can choose to make it mean:



Nothing is wrong with me, I'm just not for them.



I don't need them to love me.



We're just not a great fit together but we can do life together.
