What happens when we finally slow down enough to hear what’s happening inside our hearts?

In this deeply gentle episode of The Wholehearted Woman Podcast, Kris Rey invites you into a sacred pause — a space where healing doesn’t begin with fixing, striving, or analyzing… but with learning to listen safely.

Many of us were never taught how to sit with our emotions or notice what our bodies are holding. Instead, we learned to survive by staying strong, pushing forward, or quietly walling parts of ourselves off. But what we avoid doesn’t disappear — it often shapes our reactions, relationships, and sense of identity without us realizing it.

Through scripture, reflection, and compassionate guidance, Kris explores how survival patterns form, why fear sometimes appears when healing begins, and how God gently opens the eyes of our hearts so we can see our story with new compassion and light.

This episode is not about digging into the past or reliving pain.
It’s about creating safety… learning awareness… and discovering how the Living Word becomes a well and a river within us — bringing restoration to places that once felt dry or closed.

If something stirred in you recently… if you’ve felt tender, tired, or quietly aware that something deeper is unfolding — this episode will help you slow down, breathe, and listen without fear.

✨ You are not behind.
✨ You are not broken.
✨ You are simply learning to hear your heart with God.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• Why survival patterns form — and why they aren’t failures
• How to notice your inner world without becoming overwhelmed
• The difference between conviction and condemnation
• What it means for “the eyes of the heart” to be opened
• How Scripture becomes living, active, and restorative within us

Many women know God loves them.
They believe the Scriptures.
They have real faith.

And yet, they are still tired.

In this episode of The Wholehearted Woman Podcast, we explore the tension so many believers live with—the gap between what we know to be true and what we are actually experiencing in our daily lives.

Why does striving persist even when faith is strong?
Why does rest feel elusive when we trust God?
Why can we understand our pain and still feel unable to break free from it?

Together, we talk about how the heart forms beliefs through pain and survival, how those beliefs can remain active even after our minds are renewed, and why healing requires more than insight—it requires presence.

Through personal reflection, pastoral insight, and Scripture, this episode gently invites you to slow down and consider what your heart may still be carrying—and how Jesus meets us not with pressure, but with rest.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” spiritually, yet still feel weighed down, this episode is an invitation to let God come near to the places that are tired.

In this episode, we’re talking about truth—
not as something to weaponize against ourselves or others,
but as something that gently replaces the lies our hearts learned while we were trying to survive.

Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
But this freedom isn’t about collecting more information.
It’s about liberation.

Today, we explore how the heart carries stories, beliefs, and survival strategies formed in seasons of pain—and how Jesus, who is the Truth, comes not to condemn us, but to free us. God’s truth never shames. It never crushes. It heals what lies tried to protect.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-condemnation, spiritual pressure, or confusion about what truth really sounds like in the midst of healing, this episode invites you to slow down, listen gently, and allow truth to do what it was always meant to do: set your heart free.

✨ In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Why truth is meant to heal, not harm
• How lies take root during survival—and how God replaces them
• The difference between condemnation and conviction
• Why Jesus is the safest place for your truth to be restored

This is an invitation to come out of striving, self-judgment, and fear—and step into the freedom that only His truth can bring.
