Have you ever been doing well — emotionally, spiritually, or habitually — only to suddenly undo your own progress? In this episode of the Day One of Sobriety podcast, Brenda breaks down why self-sabotage shows up right when growth begins and why it’s not a personal failure, but protective brain wiring. Blending faith-based neuroscience and Scripture, this episode reveals how the brain’s survival system, identity wounds, and fear-based loops can quietly pull you back into familiar patterns. You’ll learn how to interrupt self-sabotage in real time using simple, Spirit-led tools that help regulate emotions, renew your mind, and realign your identity — without shame. This teaching is a critical foundation as we continue the Reset Your Mind for 2026 series, equipping you to build change that actually lasts. 🔑 Key Episode Insights Self-sabotage is protective wiring, not personal failure The amygdala acts as an emotional library, storing past experiences of safety and threat Growth can feel unsafe to the brain when it’s unfamiliar Shame and fear loops often activate during moments of progress Identity wounds can drive behavior faster than willpower Awareness paired with action is how patterns are interrupted Scripture calls us to take thoughts captive (2 Corinthians 10:5) Transformation happens through renewing the mind (Romans 12:2) 🧠 Why This Matters Understanding self-sabotage removes shame and restores hope. When you realize your brain learned patterns to survive—not to sabotage your future—you gain compassion for yourself and clarity for change. God designed your brain for renewal, not stagnation, and Scripture calls us to take thoughts captive, guard our hearts, and steward a sound mind. Neuroscience confirms what Scripture has always taught: the brain can be rewired through intentional, repeated practice. You were never created to be a passive Christian. Mind renewal is an active partnership with God that allows you to walk in the victory Jesus already secured. 🛠 Practical Tools In this episode, Brenda introduces three complementary mind-renewal tools to help you interrupt self-sabotage in real time: CSTR (Catch–Shift–Thank–Release) — for rewiring conscious thought and habit patterns P.U.R.R. — for regulating emotional spikes before processing R.I.S.E. — for strengthening identity when worth or value feels threatened A Self-Sabotage Tools Handout is included in the Show Notes below to help you discern which tool to use and when as you apply what you learned. 📝 Podcast resources are exclusively available to members of the private Facebook Community or the Day One of Sobriety Insider group.

If you’ve ever promised yourself “this time will be different,” only to fall back into the same habits days later, this episode is for you. In this faith-based neuroscience podcast episode, you’ll learn how mind renewal—not willpower—is the key to breaking destructive habits and creating lasting change. In Part 3 of the Reset Your Mind for 2026 series, Brenda explains why habits don’t change through willpower alone — and how Scripture and neuroscience work together to help you rewire patterns that no longer serve you. This episode shifts the focus from trying harder to renewing your mind, showing you how habits form on autopilot and how the Catch–Shift–Thank–Release (CSTR) tool helps you interrupt and rebuild those loops with the Holy Spirit’s help. 🔑 Key Episode Insights Habits are not a character issue — they are neurological patterns stored in the brain (neuroplasticity) The brain prefers familiar patterns, even when they are unhealthy Willpower lives in the prefrontal cortex, but habits live in the basal ganglia The habit loop follows a predictable sequence: Cue → Craving → Response → Reward Mind renewal is the process of taking habits off autopilot and rewiring them with truth CSTR aligns perfectly with the habit loop to create lasting change 🧠 Why This Matters If you’ve been stuck in cycles of stress eating, people-pleasing, emotional reactions, or other unwanted habits, understanding how habits form removes shame and restores hope. When you see that habits are learned — not who you are — you gain the confidence to change them. God designed your brain for renewal. Scripture and neuroscience agree that lasting emotional healing and habit change happen through renewing the mind, not relying on motivation or self-control alone. Scripture calls us to renew our minds, and neuroscience confirms that the brain can be rewired through repeated, intentional practice. This episode equips you to partner with God in that process instead of relying on short-lived motivation or resolutions. 🛠 Practical Tool: Catch–Shift–Thank–Release (CSTR) CSTR is a simple, powerful mind renewal tool that helps rewire habits by aligning biblical truth with the brain’s natural habit loop: Catch the cue instead of reacting automatically Shift the craving by replacing lies with truth Thank God to change your emotional state and reward pathway Release the old response and receive peace instead of regret In this episode, Brenda walks through a real-life example of emotional eating and explains how the CSTR tool rewires habits in real time. 👉 Bonus Resource: Download the free handout–Using the Catch-Shift-Thank-Release ToolTM to Rewire Habits.  It has additional faith-based mind renewal examples, including patience under stress and breaking people-pleasing patterns. 📝 Podcast resources are exclusively available to members of the private Facebook Community or the Day One of Sobriety Insider group.

In this second installment of the Reset Your Mind for 2026 series, Brenda unpacks the powerful connection between identity, belief, and lasting transformation. You’ll learn why you can’t outperform the identity you’ve accepted, how your brain wires itself around what you believe, and why mind renewal must begin with uncovering the identity you’ve been living from. Brenda shares part of her personal sobriety story, the Greek meaning of the word “sobriety,” and how Scripture + neuroscience work together to rewrite the identity that drives your habits. You’ll also be introduced to this week’s tool—The Identity InventoryTM, a guided reflection that helps you recognize what you believe about yourself, where those beliefs came from, and how to align them with who God says you are. 🔑 Key Episode Insights Identity always comes before outcome—you cannot rise higher than what you believe about yourself. Your brain wires habits, emotions, and reactions around the identity you’ve accepted. Sobriety is more than abstaining from a behavior—it means having a sound, well-balanced mind. Old identity patterns are often rooted in wounds, labels, or survival strategies—not truth. Lasting transformation requires replacing your “wired identity” with your God-given identity. Scripture reveals who you are; neuroscience explains how your brain learns to believe it. 🧠 Why This Matters Everything you do flows from what you believe about who you are. If you see yourself as unworthy, unsafe, unwanted, or not enough, your brain will keep recreating patterns that match that identity. But when you begin aligning your beliefs with God’s truth, your brain starts rewiring toward wholeness, resilience, and peace. This episode helps you identify the hidden identity narratives driving your emotional warning signals so you can renew your mind from the inside out and build habits that last. 🛠 Practical Tool This week you’ll use the Identity Inventory, a guided reflection that helps you: Identify the identity your brain has been operating from. Compare it with who Scripture says you are. Recognize the lies driving your emotional patterns. Begin identifying the truths God is inviting you to anchor your mind in. 📝 Podcast resources are exclusively available to members of the private Facebook Community or the Day One of Sobriety Insider group.

Every January, millions of people start strong — full of motivation, fresh goals, and big expectations. But by February, most resolutions have already faded. In today’s episode, Brenda uncovers the powerful blend of Scripture + neuroscience that explains why this happens and what God designed your brain to do instead. You’ll discover how the amygdala, Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), and prefrontal cortex influence your decisions, how old habits create mental “ruts,” and why perfectionism and fear keep you stuck at the starting line. Through biblical truth and practical insight, Brenda shows you how mind renewal — not resolutions — brings true transformation. 🔑 Key Episode Insights Change is hard because your brain is wired for familiarity, not transformation. Resolutions fail when old neural pathways overpower new intentions. The amygdala, ACC, and prefrontal cortex play distinct roles in fear, hesitation, and clarity. Shame isn’t the problem — wiring is. And wiring can be changed. Mind renewal bridges the gap between who God says you are and how your brain is currently trained to think. The enemy uses old thought patterns to keep you stuck; the Holy Spirit empowers new ones. 🧠 Why This Matters Understanding how your brain responds to change helps you stop fighting battles you were never meant to fight alone. When you see that fear, hesitation, and perfectionism are rooted in old wiring—not personal weakness—you can approach growth with compassion, confidence, and renewed hope. This episode gives you the clarity you need to begin 2026 with a healthier mindset and a stronger foundation for transformation. This episode lays the foundation for the entire December series and helps you begin 2026 with clarity, confidence, and renewed identity. 🛠 Practical Tool Today’s episode introduces the first step of the Mind Renewal Framework: Awareness. Instead of trying to fix everything at once, you’ll begin by noticing the thoughts and patterns shaping your daily reactions. This simple starting point helps you identify where old wiring is still influencing your emotions and decisions, and prepares your heart and mind for the deeper work we’ll walk through in the coming weeks. 🔗 Related Episodes & Links Click to download → Awareness Worksheet Listen to the MIRACLE that started it all: EP 1 — The Story Behind Day One of Sobriety.

In this powerful episode, Brenda explores how gratitude becomes a healing force for your mind, body, and emotions. Blending Scripture with brain science, she explains why gratitude is far more than a positive thought — it’s a God-designed mind renewal tool that rewires emotional patterns, calms the nervous system, and anchors the heart in peace. You’ll learn why practicing gratitude (not just knowing about it) transforms your life, and you’ll hear a practical 5-step process you can begin using today.   🔑 Key Episode Insights Gratitude is one of the most powerful mind renewal strategies in Scripture and neuroscience. Gratitude interrupts spiraling thoughts and shifts the brain out of survival mode. Holding gratitude for 20–30 seconds begins forming new neural pathways. Speaking gratitude out loud strengthens emotional regulation and clarity. Practicing gratitude consistently restores peace even when circumstances don’t change. 🧠 Why This Matters Your brain is constantly wiring and rewiring based on what you focus on. Gratitude activates the areas of the brain responsible for peace, clarity, and emotional stability — reducing anxiety, rumination, and overwhelm. Spiritually, gratitude re-centers your heart on God’s goodness and opens the door to His peace. When practiced intentionally, gratitude becomes a healing rhythm that transforms your mindset and emotional patterns over time. 🛠 The Gratitude Reset This episode introduces The Gratitude Reset™, a simple 5-step mind renewal practice designed to help you shift your thoughts when stress or overwhelm begins to rise. You’ll learn how to pause, identify God’s goodness, savor it, speak it out loud, and take a next peaceful step.

Do you feel guilty when you say “no”? Do you carry the weight of everyone’s emotions, feeling responsible for their peace but never your own? In this episode of the Day One of Sobriety Podcast, we continue our deep dive into People-Pleasing & Approval Addiction. You’ll learn why setting boundaries isn’t selfish — it’s biblical and brain-based. We’ll unpack how boundaries retrain your brain for peace, why guilt shows up when you start saying “no,” and how to heal codependent patterns that go beyond people-pleasing.   🔑 Key Episode Insights Why healthy boundaries are not walls but guardrails that protect peace. What happens in the brain when you start saying no — and why your nervous system feels discomfort before calm. The difference between people-pleasing and codependency — and why the latter requires deeper emotional and relational healing. How boundary-setting strengthens the prefrontal cortex–amygdala connection, helping you replace crisis reactions with calm choices. Why Jesus modeled boundaries — and how His example shows that “no” can be holy. How guarding your heart and peace aligns with God’s design and rewires your mind for freedom. 🧠 Why This Matters If people-pleasing steals your peace, codependency steals your identity. Both are rooted in fear — fear of rejection, fear of disapproval, or fear of being alone. Neuroscience shows that when you renew your mind and consistently practice new boundary patterns, your brain rewires itself. Spiritually, boundaries are acts of stewardship. They protect the purpose God placed within you. Freedom starts when you stop confusing love with rescue and start walking in truth and trust instead.   📖 Key Scriptures from This Episode Mark 1:35–38 — Even Jesus didn’t meet every expectation. He modeled spiritual boundaries by stepping away to reconnect with His Father. Boundaries help us stay aligned with purpose instead of pressure. Galatians 6:5 — Boundaries define what belongs to us and what doesn’t. You are responsible for your peace, your growth, and your obedience to God — not for carrying someone else’s emotions or responsibilities. Proverbs 4:23 — Guarding your heart isn’t selfish — it’s stewardship. Protecting your peace ensures that what flows from you remains healthy, holy, and aligned with God’s will. Psalm 16:6 — God sees boundaries as blessings. When we honor them, we discover that peace, purpose, and contentment fall within the lines He’s lovingly drawn for us. 🔗 Related Episodes & Links Mentioned 🎧 Listen to: EP23 — People-Pleasing & Approval Addiction: Break Free by Renewing Your Mind 📄 Download the free Codependency Healing Research Summary — a one-page guide to understanding deeper healing from codependency. 💖 Free 14-Day Devotional: Break Free from People-Pleasing — available inside the Mind Renewal Solutions Made Simple Facebook Community or delivered to your inbox when you become a Day One of Sobriety Insider. 👣 Your Next Steps Become a Day One of Sobriety Insider — receive podcast devotionals, reflection tools, and weekly mind renewal resources straight to your inbox.📍 Join Here Connect in Community — engage with other Overcomers inside our Mind Renewal Solutions Made Simple Facebook Community.

Do you constantly feel responsible for everyone’s happiness? Does your peace disappear the moment someone’s disappointed with you? In this episode of the Day One of Sobriety Podcast, we’re tackling one of the most common yet overlooked habits—people-pleasing and approval addiction. You’ll discover where it begins in the brain, what Scripture says about finding your worth in God (not people), and how to use a neuroscience-backed tool to rewire your thoughts for peace and freedom.   🔑 Key Episode Insights Why people-pleasing is more than kindness—it’s a coping mechanism wired for safety, not love. How the fawn response in your brain links approval with protection and love. The difference between people-pleasing (needing to be liked) and codependency (needing to be needed). How the Catch–Shift–Thank–Release tool helps you take approval-seeking thoughts captive and renew your mind. Why awareness is the first step to healing—and how you can rewire your brain to live from truth instead of fear.   🧠 Why This Matters People-pleasing feels selfless—but it’s actually self-erasing. Every time you chase approval, your brain releases a quick hit of dopamine that temporarily soothes anxiety but reinforces a toxic cycle. Spiritually, it pulls you away from your assignment and silences the still, confident voice of God. Freedom begins when you recognize the pattern and renew your mind with truth. You can’t renew what you won’t acknowledge—and awareness is your first act of healing.   🛠 Practice the Catch–Shift–Thank–Release Tool Catch — Notice the thought that drives your urge to please or fix: “If they’re happy, I’m safe.” Bring it into the light; you can’t renew what you don’t first notice. Shift — Replace the lie with truth: “My safety is in God’s love, not people’s opinions.” Each time you shift your focus, you form new neural connections aligned with peace instead of panic. Thank — Gratitude calms your nervous system. Say, “Thank You, Lord, that I’m already accepted and loved by You.” Gratitude rewires your brain for safety and trust. Release — Breathe deeply and surrender the lie. Pray, “Father, I release this need for approval. Fill me with Your peace.” Releasing turns control into surrender and fear into faith. Each time you walk through these four steps, you’re retraining your brain to think like Christ—catching what’s false, shifting to truth, thanking Him for His love, and releasing what no longer belongs.   🔗 Related Episodes & Links Mentioned 🎧 Listen to: In This World but Not of It: How to Renew Your Mind and Live Set Apart Free 14-Day Devotional - Break Free From People-Pleasing available inside the Mind Renewal Community or as a Day One of Sobriety Insider.   👣 Your Next Steps Become a Day One of Sobriety Insider and get podcast devotionals, reflection guides, and renewal tools delivered straight to your inbox each week.📍 Join Here Engage with Other Overcomers inside our growing Facebook community — Mind Renewal Solutions Made Simple.

Do you ever feel like your past failures disqualify you from God’s purpose? In this episode of the Day One of Sobriety Podcast, Brenda unpacks how God can redeem even our biggest mistakes. Through Scripture, neuroscience, and practical tools, you’ll learn how to reframe failure, silence shame, and let God use your past as fuel for your future. You’ll also discover the turning point of salvation — when Jesus dropped every charge against you — and how to move forward confidently as a new creation in Christ.   🔑 Key Episode Insights Why failure is not a flaw but feedback that helps us grow stronger in both faith and mind. How the enemy uses shame and fear to keep us trapped in the past — and how salvation breaks that cycle once and for all. The biblical truth behind double jeopardy and what it means to know that Jesus already paid for every mistake. The neuroscience of failure — why mistakes trigger learning and resilience in the brain. Two powerful tools — The 4 R’s of Redemption and S.T.R.E.T.C.H. Forward — designed to help you turn mistakes into motivation and renew your mindset with truth.   🧠 Why This Matters Failure isn’t the final word — redemption is. When you understand what salvation accomplished and how the mind learns through mistakes, you’ll stop striving for perfection and start embracing progress. God never wastes your pain; He uses it to propel you toward purpose.   🛠 Practice the 4 R’s + S.T.R.E.T.C.H. Forward Tool Want to dive deeper?

Do you ever feel caught between two worlds? You love God, but sometimes it feels easier to blend in than to stand out. In this episode of the Day One of Sobriety podcast, we’re talking about what it truly means to be “in this world but not of it,” why it’s so hard to live differently, and how renewing your mind changes everything. You’ll hear real-life examples, biblical truth, and a practical neuroscience tool to help you live set apart for God’s Kingdom. 🔑 Key Episode Insights Why trying to live for both sides is like playing on two teams at once—and how it divides your loyalty and peace. How holidays like Halloween can become powerful reminders of who you represent and what it means to shine as light in a dark world. Why fear and lack of capacity keep us from living renewed—and how to overcome both with truth and practice. The neuroscience behind transformation—how the amygdala and neuroplasticity explain why change feels hard but is absolutely possible. The PURR Tool — a simple, memorable way to Pause, Replace, and Reflect so you can stay calm, confident, and Christ-centered under pressure. 🧠 Why This Matters Living “in the world but not of it” isn’t about rules—it’s about representation. When your mindset mirrors God’s heart, your life becomes a reflection of His truth and love to everyone around you. Mind renewal bridges faith and neuroscience so you can overcome fear, stop conforming, and live from your God-given identity every day. 🛠 Practice the PURR Tool Pause and Understand – When faced with pressure to conform, pause and ask, “Is this mindset from the world or from the Word?” Replace – Replace the worldly thought (“I need everyone to like me”) with God’s truth (“I already have His approval”). Repetition builds new thought loops of truth. Reflect – Reflect Christ’s light in your words and actions. Radiate peace instead of pressure. When you PURR instead of panic, your amygdala calms, your prefrontal cortex re-engages, and your thoughts align with truth. Transformation becomes your new default. 👣 Your Next Steps 1️⃣ Become a Day One of Sobriety Insider and get the podcast resources delivered straight to your inbox!

Have you ever been hurt by someone in church — maybe a pastor, a friend, or a group that didn’t show up when you needed them most? In this episode, Brenda approaches the topic of church hurt with compassion, truth, and encouragement, reminding us that God’s plan for community was never meant to wound us, but to heal us.   Using the beautiful imagery of geese flying in formation, Brenda illustrates how interdependence — taking turns leading, supporting one another, and staying close when someone is wounded — reflects God’s perfect design for fellowship. She connects these truths with both Scripture and neuroscience, showing that we are literally wired for connection.   You’ll discover why community is vital for spiritual and emotional health, how to take small, prayerful steps toward reentering fellowship after hurt, and how to use the Catch–Shift–Thank–Release technique (from Episode 16) to quiet overthinking and renew your trust in God’s people.   ✨ Take the Next Step – Apply What You’ve Learned 🎁 Free Tools for Transformation Download the Practical Guide for Reentering Church Community — a step-by-step resource to help you prayerfully and safely reconnect with a healthy, Spirit-led church family.

Do you know there’s a place that heals everything? Not a counseling office, not a recovery meeting, not even a mountain retreat — but a Person. The Presence of His Company. In this episode of the Day One of Sobriety Podcast, we’ll talk about why spending quality time with God in His presence is the soil where hope grows, trust is rebuilt, and faith is strengthened. I’ll share my own story of wrestling with dark thoughts, how a gift from a friend — the book The Pleasure of His Company by Dutch Sheets — helped me rediscover intimacy with God, and I’ll guide you through a practical tool I call N.E.A.R. to God so you can step into that healing space right where you are. ✨ What’s Inside This Episode? Why God’s presence — not performance — is the place of hope and healing. How cultivating your relationship with God transforms your mind and rewrites despair into hope. The beautiful exchange: more of God = less hurt, less fear, and more peace. A neuroscience + Scripture connection: how slowing down, breathing, and worship calm the body and anchor the soul. A practical tool: the N.E.A.R. to God Reset (Nestle, Enter, Attend, Respond) to help you build quiet, quality time with Him. 🔑 Why This Matters If you’re hurting and feel like hope is slipping through your fingers, God’s presence is your safe place. He doesn’t want shallow religious loyalty — He wants your company. This episode equips you with biblical truth and brain science to move from hurt to hope, one moment in His presence at a time. 🛠 Practice the N.E.A.R. Reset Nestle into stillness — calm your breath and body. Enter with Scripture — let God’s Word center your thoughts. Attend to His nearness — imagine Him with you, because He is. Respond — thank Him for His presence and share your need. 👉 Get the N.E.A.R. to God Guide inside the free Mind Renewal Solutions Made Simple Facebook Community. 🔗 Resources & Links Mentioned Join the free Mind Renewal Solutions Made Simple Facebook Community to access the N.E.A.R. to God Guide.

Do you ever feel like worry runs your life? In this episode of the Day One of Sobriety Podcast, we’re talking about why worry happens in the brain, what God’s Word says about it, and four practical steps you can start using today to break free from the cycle of anxiety. You’ll also hear real-life encouragement, Scripture promises, and a neuroscience tool you can put into practice immediately to shift from fear to peace.   ✨ What’s Inside This Episode? Why worry is like running the “What-if Olympics” in your mind — and how it exhausts your brain and body. What happens in the brain when worry becomes a habit, and why you actually can rewire it. Key Scriptures that show how God calls us to cast anxiety on Him and receive His peace. The illusion of control — why clinging tighter breeds more fear, but surrender brings peace. A practical 4-step tool: Catch–Shift–Thank–Release to break destructive worry loops and anchor your mind in God’s promises. 🔑 Why This MattersWorry doesn’t prevent tomorrow’s problems — it only steals today’s peace. When you learn to renew your mind with truth and science-backed tools, you trade fear for freedom.   🛠 Practice the Catch–Shift–Thank–Release Strategy Catch the thought — say aloud, “This is fear talking, not truth.” Shift the focus — move from “what if” to “even if” with Scripture. Thank — speak gratitude out loud to rewire your brain for peace. Release — surrender control to God with a spoken prayer of trust. 👉 Want the Catch–Shift–Thank–Release Tip Card?

Do you ever find yourself standing in front of the fridge or pantry, not even hungry, just searching? Stress eating is one of the most common ways we numb our emotions. But here’s the truth: food can never fix what only God can fill. In this episode of the Day One of Sobriety Podcast, we’re uncovering why stress eating is so powerful, how the food industry engineers “hyper-palatable” foods to hook us, and how both science and scripture reveal the path to freedom. Together, we’ll discover how to HALT before we snack and invite Christ into our true needs. ✨ What’s Inside This Episode? Why stress eating is more common than you think (25–40% of people do it monthly). How sugar and fat temporarily soothe the brain — but deepen the shame cycle. The hidden way processed foods are engineered to hijack your appetite. The biblical HALT method — Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired — with truth anchors for each struggle. A practical action step to help you “HALT and ask what you really need” before turning to food. 🔑 Why This MattersStress eating doesn’t just affect your body — it impacts your brain, your spirit, and your identity. God never designed food to carry the weight of your soul. By renewing your mind with biblical truth and neuroscience tools, you can rewire cravings, find lasting satisfaction in Christ, and break destructive cycles. 🛠 HALT with Truth Anchors Tool Hungry (Emotionally Empty): Psalm 107:9; John 6:35 — Only Jesus satisfies. Angry (Stuffing Emotions): Psalm 62:8; Ephesians 4:26-27 — Pour your heart out honestly. Lonely (Relational Gap): Psalm 68:6; Hebrews 13:5 — God is present; He places you in community. Tired (Quick Fix): Matthew 11:28-29; Isaiah 40:29-31 — Rest and strength are found in Him. 👉 Get the HALT with Truth Anchors Resource when you join the free Mind Renewal Made Simple Facebook Community. 🔗 Resources & Links Mentioned Join the free Mind Renewal Made Simple Facebook Community to access the HALT with Truth Anchors resource.
