Let's be honest: we all wanna win, right? The argument, the competition, the promotion, you name it -- we wanna be on top.

The hardest thing to do is to choose loving someone else (especially someone you don't vibe with) over our pride. ESPECIALLY when that person is belittling you, insulting you, or straight up attacking you.

Sometimes we don't even want to love other people and would rather see them lose more than anything else. But when this is our heart posture and mindset, we actually end up hurting ourselves more than anyone else.

In this episode, we're talking how we can shift our heart posture to one of love instead of our default posture -- pride -- and how that helps us to find more peace, purpose, and community in life.

This series is all about overthinking: where it comes from, why we do it, how to know if you're overthinking, and most importantly -- how to stop.

Spoiler alert: it has a lot to do with us not trusting ourselves or God.

I polled 22-35 year olds on Instagram (follow @em_led11) about their own overthinking patterns and...

• 81% say they are overthinkers
• 48% say they overthink their relationships the most
• 71% say they don't always pray before making a big decision
• 77% say they prefer to be in control most of the time

If you fall into these statistics, this episode is absolutely for you baby. Tune in!

One of the biggest things I used to overthink the most was my past: ways I messed up, people I let down, things I wished I handled differently. And I know I'm not alone in this.

In this episode, I'm sharing the three biggest perspective shifts I've made in order to make peace with my past. I also explain how my relationship with God has truly allowed me to do that.

If you're feeling lots of shame over your past, you are not alone & this episode is for you :)

48% of you guys told me via Instagram (@em_led11) that the thing you overthink more than anything else is your personal relationships. And boy do I fall into this category!

But what many of us don't realize is that the way we show up in our relationships is often a reflection of our own inner world and how we see ourselves. When we overthink our own pain, mistakes, or past trauma, we project our perceptions and judgements onto others and start believing that they see us the same way we see ourselves. But this is the work of the devil and is simply NOT true.

This episode talks about the psychology behind why we do this. We also discuss how we can stop caring so much about what EVERYONE thinks of us and instead put more weight on how WE see ourselves and how God sees us :)

Hi beautiful people :)

Welcome to S4 of WWL: We're talking body image, beauty standards, and why it is so difficult to feel comfy, confident, and beautiful in the skin that we're in.

But more importantly, we're getting DEEP about a problem hitting the gym everyday or getting more Botox just won't solve: our internal belief system and how we truly see ourselves.

The good news is that you CAN change the way you see yourself WITHOUT changing what you look like physically. And that's exactly what this series will help you do!!

If you're feeling ugly, insecure, or self-conscious in your face, body, skin, etc: 1) you are not alone and 2) this series is for you, baby.

I hope you tune in <3
