Episode 4 — Who God Says You Are
In Episode 3 we did something courageous together. We named the limiting beliefs that have been shaping your life, traced where they came from, and began replacing them with something true. Today we go even deeper.
Because the most powerful truth you can ever anchor your identity in is not a mindset shift or an affirmation. It is the living, unshakeable Word of God.
In this faith-rooted episode, Kristen walks you through why so many women who genuinely love God still struggle to truly receive what He says about them personally. She explores the profound gap between knowing truth intellectually and integrating it into how you actually live, lead, and see yourself every single day.
Then she takes you slowly and reverently through ten scriptural truths about who you are in Christ, reading each verse in full so you can sit with every word and let it land exactly where you need it most.
In this episode you will discover:Why truly receiving what God says about you can be one of the most difficult things you ever doHow your felt experience often contradicts Scripture and what to do about that gapTen foundational declarations about your identity in Christ read in full from ScriptureThe difference between knowing God's truth and integrating it into how you actually liveWhy a woman rooted in her God-given identity leads, loves, and shows up differentlyThe three-step Identity Declaration Practice and how thirty days of faithful practice can shift everything
Ten scriptural truths about who God says you are:You are a child of God — John 1:12You are loved by God — Romans 5:8You are chosen — Ephesians 1:4You are forgiven — Ephesians 1:7You are redeemed — Galatians 3:13You are a new creation — 2 Corinthians 5:17You are God's masterpiece — Ephesians 2:10You are free from condemnation — Romans 8:1You are seated with Christ in heavenly places — Ephesians 2:6You are a saint — 1 Corinthians 1:2

Episode 3 — The Lies That Have Been Shaping You
What if the beliefs that have been quietly running your life were never actually true? In this powerful episode, Kristen Ivanov goes deep into the limiting beliefs that shape a woman's confidence, decisions, and sense of what is possible for her life.
From the messages absorbed in childhood to the stories written in seasons of pain and comparison, Kristen names the beliefs so many women carry in silence and walks you through exactly how they show up in your daily life through perfectionism, people pleasing, self-sabotage, and a quiet sense that God's promises are for other women but not for you.
This episode is honest, tender, and deeply practical. And it will leave you with a real tool to begin replacing the lies with something gloriously true.
In this episode you will discover:Where your limiting beliefs actually come from and why they feel so much like factsThe childhood messages that quietly shape how you see yourself as an adultThe most common limiting beliefs women carry and how to recognize them in yourselfHow limiting beliefs show up in perfectionism, people pleasing, and self-sabotageWhy your relationship with God can be affected by what you believe about yourselfThe promise of Romans 12:2 and what renewing your mind actually looks like in practiceThe four-step Belief Replacement Practice to help you name, trace, replace, and anchor new truth
The Four-Step Belief Replacement Practice:Step 1: Name it — write the limiting belief down exactly as it sounds in your mindStep 2: Trace it — ask yourself where this belief came from and what planted itStep 3: Replace it — write a grounded, truthful replacement belief that feels possibleStep 4: Anchor it in Scripture — find a verse that declares who God says you are
