In this first episode of the When Self-Help Isn’t Helping series, we slow down and name something most of us don’t realize is happening: the quiet worldviews shaping how we handle life, emotions, and change.

We talk about:

  • why so many Christian women feel like they’re holding everything together
  • how self-help, emotional regulation, and responsibility can subtly replace dependence
  • the difference between consulting God and resting in Him
  • and what Scripture keeps pulling us back to when growth starts to feel thin

This episode is about re-centering growth on relationship—with God as the source, not just the support.

You’ll also be invited into a simple awareness practice for the week and can download the free Worldview Discernment Chart at myhappyvault.com/worldview to help you notice what’s been shaping you.

Anchor Scriptures: John 15:5, Proverbs 3:5–6, Psalm 127:1

Episode Takeaway: Pay attention to what’s forming you—and what it’s asking you to rely on.
