Episode 93: Rewriting the Story: Healing the Narratives We Tell Ourselves 11:54

for 4 dager siden11:54

11:54

Episode Summary: Welcome back to To Help You Heal ! This is the second episode in our 4-part series on building a life you love, even in hard seasons. Last week, we explored the power of surrender, and today, we’re talking about something that shapes us more than we realize—the stories we tell ourselves. So often, we don’t even notice the inner narrative shaping our expectations, emotions, and outlook. Whether it’s tied to pain, fear, or societal pressures, these stories can keep us stuck. But the good news? You can shift your narrative—and it starts with awareness. I'm sharing insights from my journey after the Amish schoolhouse shooting, offering practical wisdom on how to: Recognize the internal stories that keep us stuck Reframe painful chapters without erasing their importance Change the tone of our inner voice from criticism to compassion Let go of harmful labels and limiting beliefs Invite God into the narrative to bring healing, truth, and grace Healing doesn’t require forgetting the past—it means learning to view it through a lens of growth and possibility. Mentioned in this episode: The difference between facts and the stories we attach to them A simple journaling exercise to start shifting your inner dialogue Why your narrator’s tone matters—and how to speak with more kindness An invitation to see your life through God’s perspective ✨ Small shifts in your narrative can lead to significant changes in your life. Let’s start rewriting the story—together. — Listen to last week’s episode on Surrender , and don’t miss next week’s conversation about Finding the Good: Practicing Gratitude in Every Season . 📬 Subscribe, share with a friend, and follow me on Instagram @MarieMonville for daily encouragement.…

Episode 92: The Power of Surrender — Releasing What You Can’t Control 11:12

for 11 dager siden11:12

11:12

Episode Summary: In this week’s episode, I’m sharing my heart on what it means to surrender—because it’s often the first (and hardest) step when life doesn’t go as planned. I’m reflecting on my own journey through loss and grief and how I learned that surrender isn’t giving up… it’s releasing what was never mine to carry. I finally found freedom and a new way forward when I finally let go. I hope this episode encourages you to do the same. What You’ll Hear: 💛 Why surrender creates space for healing 💛 The difference between giving up and letting go 💛 How shifting from “Why me?” to “What now?” changes everything 💛 A reminder that we can trust God with what’s too heavy for us to carry Next Week: Join me as we continue this four-part series with “Rewriting the Story You Tell Yourself.” You don’t want to miss it. ✨ Subscribe & Share: If this episode speaks to you, pass it along to someone else who needs this reminder today.…

Episode 91: The Choice That Changed Everything 11:13

for 18 dager siden11:13

11:13

This week on To Help You Heal , we’re diving into one of the most common questions I hear: How did you keep going? The answer? Intentional choices. In the aftermath of the Amish schoolhouse shooting, I learned that while so much was out of my control, I still had power—power in the choices I made every single day. Whether we’re facing grief, loss, or the hard things life throws our way, we can change our lives through small daily decisions. In this episode, I’m sharing: ✨ Why it’s easy to feel powerless—and the simple mindset shift that helps ✨ How small, consistent choices move us forward when emotions try to hold us back ✨ The one decision that became my lifeline—and why it still shapes my days ✨ Practical ways to anchor yourself in hope, reset your perspective, and find the good —even when it’s hard Friend, you don’t have to love your circumstances to choose hope. The choice to find the good has the power to change everything. Listen in—and let this be your reminder: You’re not stuck. You’re stronger than you think. And you have a choice, today and every day. 💗 Subscribe so you don’t miss next week’s episode! Connect with me: Instagram | Facebook | mariemonville.com…

Episode 90: The Power of Perspective 12:43

for 25 dager siden12:43

12:43

Last week, we talked about turning pain into purpose—finding meaning in the struggles we’ve walked through. But what happens when you’re still in the middle of the hard season? When the road ahead feels uncertain, and you don’t know what comes next? That’s where perspective comes in. This week, we’re diving into the power of perspective—how the way we see our circumstances can either hold us back or move us forward. Because while we don’t always have control over what happens to us, we do have control over how we respond. In this episode, we’ll talk about: The “glasses” we wear—do we see obstacles or opportunities? How our past experiences shape our default perspective (and how to shift it) The connection between our thoughts, emotions, and outcomes Practical ways to reframe negativity and cultivate a mindset of growth Why surrendering control and trusting God shifts everything Your perspective isn’t just about what’s happening around you—it’s about what’s happening within you. And when we choose to see things differently, we create space for hope, healing, and transformation. Tune in now for encouragement and practical steps to shift your mindset and embrace a new way of seeing your life.

Pain is something we all experience. Hardship can feel isolating, whether personal loss, unexpected struggles, or overwhelming seasons.

for 7 weeks siden10:45

Do you ever feel like you should keep pushing, even when you're exhausted? Like rest is something you have to earn rather than a necessity? You're not alone. In this episode of To Help You Heal , we're talking about why so many of us struggle to listen to our bodies—and how to shift the way we think about rest. Why we ignore our need for rest From cultural conditioning to our own self-imposed expectations, we often believe rest equals laziness. But what if rest was actually the key to showing up better in every area of life? Breaking the cycle of exhaustion Ignoring exhaustion doesn’t make it disappear—it just pushes us toward burnout. We'll talk about how to identify small habits (hello, micro-boundaries! ) that help you replenish instead of running on empty. Simple ways to start prioritizing rest Rest isn’t a reward—it’s a necessity. I’ll share small, practical shifts you can make today to listen to your body, honor your needs, and step into a healthier rhythm. Take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, and ask yourself: What do I need today? And then—give yourself permission to receive it.…

Episode 84: Falling in Love with the Process 11:11

for 10 weeks siden11:11

11:11

In this episode of To Help You Heal , we’re tackling a mindset shift that can change everything: learning to love the process instead of fixating on the outcome. Whether you’re working toward a goal, navigating a tough season, or trying to build better habits, falling in love with the day-to-day actions can keep you motivated and help you experience growth in a whole new way. Too often, we give up because we expect instant results, and it feels like the process is taking too long. But what if the key to long-term success isn’t achieving the outcome but learning to enjoy the journey? Together, we’ll explore: Why loving the process matters more than chasing the result. How to shift your focus and stay engaged in the present. Practical ways to find joy, meaning, and purpose in your daily routines. If you’ve ever struggled to stick with something because it didn’t feel like it was “working,” this episode is for you. What You’ll Learn: Why our “quick-fix” culture sets us up for frustration. The importance of consistency and how small wins build momentum. How to identify and embrace what you love about your process, whether it’s fitness, a new habit, or personal growth. Questions to ask yourself to reframe your mindset and rediscover joy in your daily actions. Encouragement for the Week: When we fall in love with the process, we reframe our lives to focus on growth, joy, and progress instead of perfection. What’s one area in your life where you can apply this mindset shift?…

Episode 82: Clearing the Clutter: What You Need Less of in 2025 12:41

for 12 weeks siden12:41

12:41

In this week’s episode of To Help You Heal , we’re continuing the conversation about starting the new year with intention. While it’s natural to focus on what we want more of, we often overlook an equally important question: What do I want less of? Clearing out the clutter—whether it’s physical, mental, or emotional—creates space for growth, clarity, and peace. In This Episode, We’ll Explore: The importance of focusing on what to let go of—not just what to add. Practical ways to identify clutter in your life: physical, mental, emotional, or even in your schedule. How negative self-talk and limiting beliefs can hold you back, and what to do about it. Tips for starting small and replacing what you remove with something positive. The benefits of removing what doesn’t serve you: greater mental clarity, improved relationships, and a sense of freedom. Reflection Questions: What’s taking up time, energy, or space that no longer aligns with the life you want? What relationships, habits, or thoughts leave you feeling drained instead of energized? Where can you replace clutter with something positive and life-giving? Take Action This Week: 1️⃣ Start Small: Pick one area—physical clutter, a habit, or a thought pattern—and focus on letting it go. 2️⃣ Replace It: Identify a positive habit, action, or thought to put in its place. 3️⃣ Celebrate Progress: Reflect on the benefits of what you’re changing and where you see growth.

Episode 81: Rethinking Resolutions: Building a Life You Love 11:17

for 13 weeks siden11:17

11:17

Welcome to the first episode of To Help You Heal in 2025! As we step into a new year, many of us are making resolutions and setting goals—but how often do those plans fall apart by February, leaving us feeling discouraged? In this episode, I’m offering a new approach: What if we focused less on the outcomes we want and more on creating a life we love—day by day? In This Episode: Why traditional goal-setting often leads to frustration and burnout How to set goals based on daily actions rather than unattainable outcomes Questions to ask yourself: What do you want more of in your life? What do you want less of? The importance of reducing stress and embracing consistency to support the version of yourself you want to be How this mindset shift can help you end 2025 in a place of growth and joy Key Takeaways: Focus on actions, not outcomes. Instead of setting a goal like “lose 10 pounds,” focus on consistent habits like walking daily or eating intentionally. Love your life in the day-to-day. Build routines and make choices that feel meaningful and sustainable for you. What you feel matters. Goals that create unnecessary stress or pressure aren’t worth pursuing. Find ways to thrive without sacrificing your peace. Be intentional about “more” and “less.” What do you want more of in 2025? What can you let go of to create space for the things that truly matter? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new year. Send me an email: marie@mariemonville or connect with me on Instagram .…

Episode 79: Understanding Grief (Part 4)- Moving Forward Into a New Year 11:09

for 15 weeks siden11:09

11:09

Welcome to the final episode in our series on grieving with grace. Over the past four weeks, we’ve explored the depths of grief—what it is, common misconceptions, and how to walk the path of healing with intention. Today, we’re focusing on a pivotal moment: how to move forward, even when you feel like you’re not ready. In This Episode: Learn how to carry your memories, connections, and healing into the new year. Discover ways to create a continued connection with your loved one, whether through traditions, journaling, or celebrating their legacy. Embrace the opportunity to write your next chapter while holding space for your grief. Explore practical tools like selecting a word or verse for the year, trying new hobbies, and creating intentional moments of joy. Key Takeaways: Moving forward doesn’t mean leaving someone behind. You can carry their memory and the lessons you’ve learned into the next chapter. Continued connection is healing—sharing stories, creating a memorial space, or honoring their legacy through new traditions. Intentional planning for your self-care—like scheduling time for reflection, connection, or rest—can make a big difference as you navigate a new year. Small, consistent actions like journaling one memory per week or taking mindful walks can help cultivate healing and hope. Reflection Questions: What traditions or memories do you want to carry into 2025? How can you create space in your life for healing and joy this year? What’s one small, intentional step you can take this week to honor your journey? Practical Suggestions for 2025: Choose a word or verse to focus on for the year. Start a grief journal or memory project—one small weekly entry adds to meaningful progress. Schedule “grace space” in your calendar: time to rest, reflect, or recharge without guilt. Consider trying a hobby you’ve set aside or exploring something new that sparks joy. What’s Next: Grief doesn’t have an end date, and healing is a process. As you enter the new year, remember that you can bring everything you’ve learned and loved. Next week, we’ll continue exploring how to cultivate a life you love, even when circumstances aren’t what you planned. If this series has encouraged you, I’d love it if you shared it with someone who might need it. Together, we can find hope and healing.
