Broken and Beautiful Series: Isolation, Inner Assumptions and Telling Ourselves a Different Story with Breeze Potts

We're bringing back a few of our favorite episodes from the archives to highlight for our Broken and Beautiful series. Listen in for encouragement that Jesus not only handles our brokenness, but He can use it to pour beauty out onto others. 

Do you ever feel yourself disengaging or pushing people away, but you’re not exactly sure why you’re doing it? Or on the flip side, do you ever experience the rejection of a friend who seems to be withdrawing? In this episode, Willow interviews Mental Health Counselor Breeze Potts on the cycles of how our insecurity perpetuates loneliness and broken relationships. They discuss challenging our inner assumptions, being curious about others, and what it means to lean into relationship.

We love connecting you with resources, so we pulled some of our faves based on this podcast episode. We hope they encourage, inspire and challenge you.  Enjoy!

Collide Resources:

NEW Broken & Beautiful: a 5-Day Devotional is a free resource to help you collide with Jesus and see that there can be beauty in the places we often see as broken. We created this tool so that as you work through Luke 7:36-50, you will keep running into the One who renamed the “sinful” woman, not by her brokenness, but by the beauty He could bring out of it.

Our Yes, You Bible study on self-worth encourages women to see beyond their inadequacies so they can be purposed to their fullest potential. 

The Counseling Bundle is a tremendous online course covering the 12 most common issues women face in counseling featuring tips, tools, and advice from mental health professionals. This course is a great fit for anyone considering whether counseling is for them, or as an option to begin the healing process while waiting to see a counselor.

As women we often get stuck believing lies, settling for less than we deserve, and shrinking back rather than owning who we can become. We get stuck assuming things about God and about others. Our FREE downloadable, Getting Unstuck, A Reflection to Help Unleash you into the Life you Desire is chocked full of tools and insights to help you recognize why you might be stuck and to help walk you toward freedom.
