Would an extra $400 feel like a miracle this month?

Hey, friend,

May can be stressful! There are events to plan and attend, gifts to buy, rides to organize, people to celebrate, meals to make. It can feel overwhelming, especially if all these good things strain our budgets while they’re wearing us out!

But it’s Miracle May, so we’re using self-brain surgery to change our minds, see things more clearly, and look for the blessings in the midst of all those things that are stressing us.

That’s why I’m joining seven other awesome Christian authors for the Blessed not Stressed Giveaway! It’s this week’s recommendation, because you have a chance to win, AND you get introduced to seven new amazing authors and receive seven incredible free bonuses, just for entering.

This week, we're featuring the brilliant therapist and neuroscience expert Joanna Hargreaves Therapy! Jo connects science and faith to help us thrive (sounds like self-brain surgery, right?), and if you love my work, you'll love following Jo as well.

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." — Romans 12:2 🙏

In my latest Substack post, I break down how your attention shapes your reality, and how you can take control of the narrative. 👇

💭 What are you focusing on today?

Life throws us into waiting rooms we never wanted to enter. After losing their daughter Hannah, Jill and Brad Sullivan found themselves in that space—waiting for answers, healing, and purpose.

But here’s the truth: Waiting isn’t just about time passing. It’s about what happens in the waiting.

In this conversation on The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast, Jill and Brad share how they found meaning, purpose, and even joy in the aftermath of tragedy. If you’re struggling with grief, uncertainty, or feeling stuck in life’s hardest moments, this episode is for you.

🧠 THOUGHTS DON’T CHANGE OVERNIGHT. BUT THEY DO CHANGE.

Rewiring your brain isn’t like flipping a switch—it’s a battle. A long, deliberate march toward transformation.

Every time you challenge an old thought, refuse to accept a limiting belief, or choose a new perspective, you’re carving a new path in your brain. It’s not easy, but it’s possible—and it’s the key to real, lasting change.

In my latest War Stories post, I dive into the long path to a new thought—why it’s hard, how it works, and what you can do today to start changing your mind for the better.

🧠🔪 Stop Making an Operation Out of Everything 🔪🧠

Learn how to save your energy for the real battles and practice letting go of the rest. 🧘‍♂️✨ You don’t have to operate on everything!
