Ever had a moment from childhood that seemed small… but you’ve never forgotten it?


In this episode, I share a vivid Christmas memory—what seemed like a simple gift exchange at the time—that marked the beginning of an identity shift for me.


This isn’t just a story. It’s a powerful example of how little t trauma and childhood moments can shape who we think we have to be in order to belong.


We explore:


  • What to do when you notice specific memories resurfacing
  • How identity gets distorted through comparison and performance
  • Why insignificant moments often hold deep spiritual meaning
  • The invitation to return to who God originally designed you to be



If you’ve ever questioned your worth, changed yourself to be accepted, or just want to understand the roots of your patterns—this episode will meet you in it.
