The world has been shaping what you believe about yourself since birth - through media, culture, and social media. You've absorbed lies about your body, your worth, your value, and your purpose. Day 10 helps you separate God's truth from the world's lies so you can stop living according to messages that were never true in the first place.

WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT:

• How cultural lies are so normalized you don't even question them
• 7 major cultural lies women over 40 believe (appearance, success, having it all, body shame, more is better, independence, others' opinions)
• Which cultural messages you've believed about your body, success, worth, and purpose
• How to identify lies you've been living by without realizing it
• God's truth vs cultural lies: Scripture that counters each one
• How to replace one cultural lie with biblical truth this week
• Why renewing your mind is the path to freedom

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:

• You hate your aging body and believe your worth is decreasing
• You measure your value by productivity and accomplishments
• You feel like you're failing because you can't "do it all"
• You're exhausted from performing, comparing, and keeping up appearances
• You're ready to stop conforming to the world's pattern and live by God's truth

The pattern you can't break today might have roots in a wound you received decades ago. The anger, people-pleasing, shame, or control issues aren't random - they're connected to messages you absorbed as a child. Day 9 helps you compassionately examine early wounds that are still shaping your present so you can finally heal them.

WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT:

• Why childhood wounds still affect you even if you had "good parents"
• Messages you absorbed from parents, siblings, peers, teachers, and church
• The difference between explicit and implicit messages about your worth
• What that younger version of you needed to hear but didn't
• How to write a healing letter to your childhood self
• Connecting the dots: How early wounds create current struggles (people-pleasing, perfectionism, control, shame, emotional eating, codependency)
• Reparenting the wounded part of yourself with truth

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:

• You're stuck in patterns that don't make logical sense
• You suspect your struggles have roots in childhood but don't know how to address them
• You minimize your childhood pain because "others had it worse"
• You're exhausted from people-pleasing, perfectionism, or trying to earn love
• You're ready to give that younger version of you what she needed

You've been treating symptoms. The anxiety, the anger, the weight, the comparison. But until you're willing to ask "where did this come from?" you'll keep cycling through the same struggles. Day 8 starts Week 2: Understanding. We're moving from "what's wrong" to "why is this happening?" and asking God to reveal the root beneath the symptom.

WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT:

• Why managing symptoms keeps you stuck in an endless cycle
• How to look at your burden list differently (asking about root causes, not just behaviors)
• Why weight struggles have different roots for different people (food vs. chronic stress vs. safety)
• What questions to ask God about where your struggle really started
• Examples: people-pleasing, control, shame, anger, comparison, anxiety
• Whether you're willing to let God reveal something painful if it leads to healing
• What might come up when God starts showing you the roots (and why it's worth it)

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:

• You've tried every strategy to manage your struggles but they keep coming back
• You're tired of treating symptoms and ready to address the source
• You suspect there's something deeper but can't see it on your own
• You're ready to ask God the hard questions about where this started
• You're willing to see something painful if it leads to actual healing

If you don't know where you're going, you'll never get there. Day 7 of the Unshakeable journey asks you to paint a picture - not of who you wish you were, but of who you're becoming by God's grace. What does freedom actually look like in your daily life? What becomes possible when you're no longer weighed down?

WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT:

• Why transformation requires vision, not just running away from something
• How to paint a specific, concrete picture of what freedom looks like for you
• What you'd be able to do if these burdens weren't weighing you down
• The difference between vague wishes and specific vision
• Wrestling with doubt (what makes you question if change is possible)
• Holding onto hope (what makes you believe God can transform you)
• Writing a vision statement that becomes your target

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:

• You know what you don't want but have no vision for what you're moving toward
• You've been running from something instead of running to something
• You need a clear picture of where you're going to stay motivated
• You struggle to believe transformation is actually possible for you
• You're ready to declare who you're becoming by God's grace

Your struggles don't stay contained. What you're carrying ripples out into everything - your mood, your energy, your relationships, your health, your patience, your joy. Day 6 of the Unshakeable journey helps you trace the ripple effect so you can see clearly what's at stake if you keep carrying burdens you were never meant to carry alone.

WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT:

• How burdens affect your daily life (mood, energy, relationships, physical health, patience, joy)
• Why you've adapted to the weight and stopped noticing the cost
• The emotions that show up most: anger, sadness, anxiety, shame, numbness
• What's underneath the surface emotions you're experiencing
• Who else is impacted by what you're carrying (kids, spouse, friends, yourself)
• Why seeing the full cost makes change urgent instead of optional

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:

• You've adapted to carrying heavy burdens and forgotten what life felt like before
• You snap at your kids, withdraw from your spouse, or cancel plans with friends
• You're exhausted, irritable, or numb and can't figure out why
• You think you're managing your struggles but everyone around you feels the impact
• You need to see the full cost before you're willing to do the hard work of change

You can't lay your burdens at God's feet if you won't acknowledge what you're carrying. Day 5 of the Unshakeable journey asks you to make a list - not to overwhelm you, but to finally get specific about what's been weighing you down so you can surrender it to the One who said "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened."

WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT:

• Why you need to get specific about your burdens instead of staying vague
• How to name what's heavy in health, relationships, work, habits, and emotions
• Which burdens you've been carrying alone without really bringing them to God
• Why we try to manage burdens ourselves instead of surrendering them
• The "magic wand question" that reveals what's consuming your energy
• How to finally lay it all at His feet and receive His rest

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:

• You feel exhausted but can't name what's specifically weighing you down
• You've been white-knuckling your way through burdens you were never meant to carry alone
• You pray about your struggles but haven't actually released them to God
• You know something needs to change but you're overwhelmed by where to start
• You're ready to stop managing and start surrendering

Who are you when you strip away the titles, the performance, and the masks? Day 4 of the Unshakeable journey asks you to look at yourself honestly-not harshly, just truthfully. This is about seeing yourself the way God sees you: with both clarity and compassion.

WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT:

• The difference between honesty and harshness when describing yourself
• How to acknowledge both strengths and weaknesses without condemnation
• Understanding the difference between what you need and what you want
• Why chasing wants keeps you from addressing real needs
• How God actually sees you (spoiler: it's not what you think)

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:

• You swing between harsh self-criticism and glossing over hard truths
• You don't know how to be honest about yourself without being mean
• You keep chasing surface wants that never satisfy deeper needs
• You suspect God is disappointed in you or waiting for you to measure up
• You're ready to see yourself clearly-both who you are and who God says you are
