  • The Story Behind Lemon Seeds
    Jan 14 2026

    In this episode, Nadine Maldonado invites you into one of the most personal chapters of her journey the story behind Lemon Seeds.

    What began as a lifelong habit of journaling through grief, loss, motherhood, relationships, divorce, and rebuilding became something far deeper: a living, breathing invitation to heal, believe, and become. Nadine shares how writing this book wasn’t just about telling her story it was about allowing God to transform her in real time.

    She opens up about the moments she had to put the book down, confront unhealed areas of her heart, and go deeper in her faith before she could pick the pen back up again. This conversation explores what it truly means to walk with Jesus Christ while still healing, still learning, and still surrendering control.

    You’ll hear about:

    • Why healing shouldn’t be rushed or consumed passively
    • The difference between affirmation and biblical truth
    • Letting go of anger, resentment, and the need to defend yourself
    • How what we consume shapes who we’re becoming
    • Why transformation requires intention, not hype

    Nadine also shares the heart behind The Lemon Seeds Experience a guided journey created for those who don’t just want to read about healing, but want support as they walk it out.

    Whether you’re in the middle of grief, rebuilding after loss, or simply feeling the pull toward something deeper, this episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and ask yourself what you’re allowing to take root in your life.

    This is The Belief Effect where healing meets becoming, and faith meets real life.

  • My Daughter Told the Truth About Our Healing
    Jan 5 2026

    What does healing actually look like inside a home not the Instagram version, but the real, lived-in, still-in-process kind?

    In this deeply personal and sacred episode of The Belief Effect, Nadine Maldonado sits down with her daughter, Alexa, for an honest, raw, and faith-filled conversation about healing in real time. This isn’t a mother speaking from a place of having it all figured out it’s a woman still growing, still surrendering, and still choosing Jesus Christ daily.

    Together, they talk about:

    • What creates a home that feels safe after heartbreak and loss
    • How healing in a parent impacts the children watching
    • Navigating divorce, identity, comparison, and social media as a teenager
    • Learning to use your voice without fear
    • Why healing starts at home and often with the mother
    • What a real relationship with Jesus looks like at a young age
    • Journaling, Scripture, and choosing faith over performance
    • The courage to stand firm in belief in a world that pressures conformity

    This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t require perfection only presence. That belief can be planted even in broken ground. And that when a woman chooses faith, her children feel the ripple effect.

    If you’re a mom, a daughter, or someone walking through their own healing journey, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

    Because when belief takes root, everything changes.

  • The Ego That Had to Die: Healing, Boundaries, and Choosing Yourself
    Dec 26 2025

    In this deeply intimate conversation, Nadine Maldonado host of The Belief Effect joins Elle White of The Feminine Warrior to explore what happens when the ego begins to loosen its grip and who we become when we finally surrender.

    This episode is an honest dialogue about ego death, identity, grief, people-pleasing, and the quiet work of healing that happens when the applause stops. Together, we unpack how external validation, control, and survival masks can shape our lives, and how releasing them opens the door to peace, discernment, and self-trust.

    You’ll hear reflections on:

    • Recognizing ego beyond arrogance as control, validation, and fear
    • Healing through shadow work, forgiveness, and self-inquiry
    • Learning to say no without guilt
    • Rebuilding trust with yourself after loss, divorce, and identity shifts
    • Reconnecting with the feminine through self-love, embodiment, and presence
    • Faith, surrender, and aligning with who you were always meant to be

    This is not a conversation about “fixing yourself.”
    It’s about remembering who you are beneath the masks.

    If you’re in a season of letting go, starting over, or choosing yourself for the first time this episode is for you.

Through Scripture, personal testimony, and practical action steps, Nadine invites listeners to stop waiting for time to fix what only truth, faith, and courage can heal.

  • Planted or Potted - Release Old Identities
    Dec 1 2025

    In this episode of The Belief Effect, Nadine unpacks a powerful revelation inspired by Jim Rohn’s classic quote “You’re not a plant; if you don’t like something, move”and a timely message from her pastor: “We’re called to be planted, not potted.”

    This conversation goes deep into the tension we all feel in seasons of transition:
    Are you living in a pot that’s too small for who you’re becoming?
    Or is God calling you to plant yourself in new soil so your next level can finally grow?

    Nadine shares raw, honest stories from her own journey divorce, rebuilding her life, closing her business, and learning how to release the identities that no longer fit. She breaks down why so many of us stay “potted” in mindsets, relationships, and environments that limit us… and what it truly means to become planted with intention, faith, and identity rooted in Jesus Christ.

    If you’ve been feeling stretched… restless… or like you’ve outgrown your old life, this episode will help you see the truth:

    You’re not stuck. You’re being invited.
    You’re not buried. You’re being planted.
    And the identity you’re releasing is making space for the woman you were always created to become.

    Perfect for anyone in a season of transition, growth, or spiritual realignment.
