She Lives Freed with Brittany Dawn Nelson

At what point did what you’re walking through become who you are?

In today’s episode, we’re having an honest, Spirit-led conversation about labels: anxiety, ADHD, trauma, burnout… and how easily they can shift from something we experience to something we identify with.

This episode is not about dismissing real struggles, it’s about bringing clarity, discernment, and truth back into the conversation.

Because even though these symptoms might be real… your identity is still rooted in Christ.

In this episode, we talk about the difference between understanding your struggles and coming into agreement with them, how the spirit of confusion can keep you stuck, and what it looks like to actually walk in freedom: mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

If you’ve ever felt like “this is just who I am”… this episode is for you.

Why does it feel like you’re having the same fight over and over again in your marriage?

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Jenna Shaffer, a licensed therapist and Christian marriage coach, to talk about something so many couples experience… but don’t always recognize: toxic cycles.

We’re diving into what these patterns actually look like, why they keep repeating, and how past wounds, triggers, and miscommunication can quietly shape the way we show up in marriage.

But more importantly, we’re talking about how to break the cycle.

This conversation blends biblical truth + practical tools to help you move from frustration and disconnection to healing, awareness, and real freedom in your marriage.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why do we keep going in circles?” – this episode is for you.

In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the full story of bringing our baby into the world. The prayers, the unexpected moments, the heightened emotions of both myself and Jordan, and the undeniable presence of God through it all. 

After everything it took to get here… infertility, loss, waiting, and surrender… this birth wasn’t just a moment in our lives, it was a testimony of God’s goodness, of His perfect timing.

Whether you’re a mama, believing for your own miracle, or just need a reminder that God is faithful in every season, this episode is for you.
