Heartbreak can leave behind more than memories—it can leave wounds that distort your self-worth, faith in love, and trust in your discernment. In this powerful episode, we’re confronting the unresolved pain from past relationships that keeps you guarded, confused, or afraid to love again. Elana walks you through four healing steps rooted in biblical truth and emotional wisdom—so you can finally let go of what hurt you and make room for what God has for you.

You’ll learn how to:

• Name the real wound so it can be treated, not repeated
• Grieve with God and not in isolation
• Reset your identity in Christ (not your past)
• Rebuild boundaries and date with peace, not pressure

You don’t have to carry the old pain into your future. There is healing. There is hope. And yes, there is love after heartbreak.

“Where are all the godly men?” is a real question—but it might not be the right one. In this episode, Alana reframes the search by focusing on alignment, readiness, and becoming. Before God brings two people together, He prepares two hearts. We walk through spiritual, emotional, relational, and purpose readiness; the difference between positioning to be seen vs. to be recognized (Ruth/Boaz); and how to renew your mind so peace replaces pressure while you wait.

You’ll learn:

• Why alignment with God precedes alignment with a man
• The difference between desire and readiness (spiritual, emotional, relational, purposeful)
• How Ruth’s life positioned her to be recognized, not just noticed
• What true beauty looks like (1 Peter 3:3–4; strength under control, peace over performance)
• Practical rhythms to “renew your mind” (Rom. 12:2) so you can wait well

Scripture references: Prov. 3:5–6; Matt. 6:33; Gal. 5:22–23; Ps. 37:4; Ruth 2:11–12; 1 Pet. 3:3–4; Prov. 31:25; Rom. 12:2

Do an Alignment Inventory with God. Ask Him to show you one thing in each area—and take one step this week to realign.

1. Spiritually: Where am I trusting God—and where am I still trying to control the outcome?
2. Emotionally: Is there a wound or a fear I still need to surrender?
3. Relationally: Am I showing love, forgiveness, and healthy boundaries with the people already in my life?
4. Purposefully: Am I walking in what God called me to do—or waiting for someone else to give me permission?
5. ➡️ Then write one step for each area to realign your heart with God this week.
