  There's a strange moment that happens after healing, when the pain finally quiets
• 0:04
  down, but you don't quite recognize yourself anymore.
• 0:08
  And no one really prepares you for that part. No one tells you what to do when
• 0:12
  you're no longer the broken girl, but you're not fully living like the healed woman yet either.
• 0:18
  If you've ever asked yourself, who am I now that I'm done hurting?

  We're going to read a review today from The Real Geeksta. It says,
• 1:13
  smart advice amongst the noise.
• 1:15
  Where has this podcast been all of my life? I am so thankful to have Emily's smart, gentle advice.
• 1:22
  Each episode is like a quick cup of coffee as she talks me off the ledge of
• 1:27
  my next dating mindset disaster.
• 1:29
  Best friend, big sis, elder cousin, I don't know which role she will fill for
• 1:35
  you, but I do know that if you take the time to filter out the noise surrounding
• 1:40
  dating and lend her your ear,
• 1:42
  you will walk away with more wisdom and discernment.
• 1:45
  Oh my gosh, I love this review so much.
• 1:49
  She talks me off the ledge of my next dating mindset disaster.
• 1:54
  Gosh, sis, thank you for this review.
• 1:59
  All right, guys, let's get into the episode today. Hazes, welcome back to the
• 2:05
  show today. I am so excited. It is Christmas Eve.
• 2:11
  Happy birthday, Jesus, our Savior, the one that came to set us free.
• 2:18
  What an amazing gift. What an amazing time as we continue to journey on in our
• 2:26
  healing journey and being set free like Jesus came guys like he came to set us free.
• 2:34
  He saved us from death and he set us free and that's what we're going to continue
• 2:38
  to do is be set free every single day so we can live our best lives and receive
• 2:45
  the love that God really has for all of us.
• 2:49
  Today, if you're listening right now, I want you to take a deep breath with me.
• 2:54
  Because the season you're in, the one where you're no longer drowning in heartbreak,
• 2:59
  but you're also not fully confident yet, is holy ground.
• 3:04
  Scripture tells us that God makes all things new. Come on, sis.
• 3:09
  But what it doesn't always explain is how disorienting new can actually feel.
• 3:16
  When you've lived as the wounded woman for so long, healing doesn't just change
• 3:21
  your emotions, it changes your identity.
• 3:25
  And today we're going to talk about what it looks like to stop living from who
• 3:30
  pain made you and start living from who God says you are, right?
• 3:37
  Setting you free, sis.
• 3:40
  I remember the moment I realized I wasn't hurting the same way anymore.
• 3:44
  I wasn't crying on the floor.
• 3:47
  I wasn't begging God to fix him or save the relationship. I wasn't spiraling the way I used to.
• 3:53
  And I thought that moment would feel freeing. But instead, it felt a little confusing.
• 3:59
  Because for so long, my identity had been shaped by survival,
• 4:04
  by fixing, by hoping, by enduring.
• 4:08
  Pain had given me a new role. And when the pain lifted, I realized I didn't
• 4:14
  actually know who I was without it.
• 4:16
  I had learned how to be strong in heartbreak, but I hadn't learned how to be
• 4:22
  confident in wholeness.
• 4:24
  And that's when God began teaching me something that changed everything.
• 4:29
  Healing doesn't just remove pain. It demands a whole new identity.
• 4:35
  So today I'm going to give you three points for your royal training.
• 4:39
  Point number one, pain will always give you an identity if you don't let God rewrite it.
• 4:48
  Here's something I had to learn the hard way. When you're hurting,
• 4:51
  you don't just experience pain.
• 4:53
  You adapt to it. You become the woman who overthinks, the woman who embraces
• 4:58
  for disappointment, the woman who expects less so it won't hurt as much.
• 5:03
  And without realizing, pain stops being something you went through and starts
• 5:08
  becoming something you live from.
• 5:11
  That's why healing can feel uncomfortable, because God isn't just taking away what hurts you.
• 5:17
  He's asking you to let go of who you became because of it.
• 5:22
  Scripture tells us in Romans 12 to be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
• 5:27
  not just comforted, not just soothed, but renewed, because healed thinking requires a healed identity.
• 5:37
  Point number two You can be done hurting and still be living like you're wounded
• 5:43
  This is the part no one talks about You can stop crying,
• 5:47
  stop chasing, stop bleeding emotionally And still make decisions from the memory
• 5:52
  of pain Instead of the truth of healing.
• 5:55
  You might be done hurting, but still guarded, still shrinking,
• 5:59
  still questioning your worth. And that doesn't mean you failed.
• 6:03
  It means you're standing at a doorway between survival and sovereignty.
• 6:08
  Isaiah 61 says, God gives us a crown of beauty instead of ashes.
• 6:13
  But notice, ashes have to be laid down before the crown can be worn.
• 6:19
  You can't carry both. Point number three.
• 6:23
  A crowned woman moves differently than a wounded woman.
• 6:27
  When God began restoring my identity, he didn't just change how I felt. He changed how I moved.
• 6:34
  A wounded woman asks, will he choose me?
• 6:38
  A crowned woman asks, does this align with who God says I am.
• 6:43
  A wounded woman tolerates confusion. A crowned woman requires clarity.
• 6:50
  A wounded woman tries to earn love. A crowned woman receives it or walks away.
• 6:57
  1 Peter 2.9 tells us we are chosen, royal, and called out of darkness. Not someday, now.
• 7:04
  Not someday, sis. Right now. Healing isn't about becoming better for a relationship.
• 7:10
  It's about returning to the authority you were always meant to live from.
• 7:15
  Now, for your royal reflection, I want you to pause here for just a moment.
• 7:21
  Ask yourself gently, who have I been because I was hurting?
• 7:27
  And am I willing to let God introduce me to who I am becoming?
• 7:32
  You don't have to answer this perfectly, just honestly.
• 7:37
  Now, your call to action. This week, I want you to do one simple thing.
• 7:42
  Write down three beliefs about yourself that were formed in pain,
• 7:46
  and then ask God to show you the truth He wants to replace them with.
• 7:52
  This isn't about striving.
• 7:54
  It's about surrendering your story back to the author.
• 7:58
  If you hear nothing else today, hear this. You are not behind.
• 8:03
  You are not lost. You are not broken beyond repair.
• 8:06
  You are in the process of being reintroduced to yourself.
• 8:10
  And the woman God is shaping now doesn't survive love. She leads with truth,
• 8:15
  discernment, and dignity.
• 8:17
  Your crown was never taken. You're just learning how to wear it again.
• 8:21
  Thank you so much for spending this time with me today.
• 8:24
  And remember, this is your royal training and your story isn't ending.
• 8:28
  It's just being rewritten.
• 8:30
  Merry Christmas, friends. Sis, you did that. You showed up for your healing
• 8:35
  and that is royal energy.
• 8:37
  If this episode challenged you, grew you, or called you higher,
• 8:41
  share it with another sister who's ready to reclaim her crown too.
• 8:44
  And if you've got 30 seconds, it would bless me big if you'd leave a review
• 8:48
  on Apple Podcast. It helps more women step into their royal identity and join
• 8:53
  the Good Guys Society movement.
• 8:55
  Until next time, keep your crown on, your standard tie, and your heart in royal alignment.
