  • Are you spiritually busy but emotionally empty? In this episode, Dr. Sharla continues the Four Horsemen of Spiritual Sabotage series with the final two patterns that may be keeping you stuck in cycles of performance and shallow repentance: Performance Without Purpose and Confession Without Conviction. These aren't obvious sins—they're subtle saboteurs that look like faithfulness but leave you exhausted, bitter, and disconnected from God.

    Drawing from scripture, clinical insight, and lived experience, Dr. Sharla reveals how these horsemen feed on religious pressure, trauma conditioning, and spiritual perfectionism—and how you can break free.

    Inside This Episode:

    What performance-based faith really looks like—and why it’s stealing your joyHow confession can become a form of avoidance when it lacks conviction and actionThe emotional roots behind these patterns, including rejection, people-pleasing, and shameWhy Martha was overwhelmed, but Mary was transformed—a fresh look at Luke 10How to shift from religious hustle to relational rest through unproductive prayer, redefined success, and identity as God’s daughter

    If you’re stuck in a cycle of doing, striving, and confessing—but never seeing lasting change—this episode will give you the clarity and tools to expose the lies, break the patterns, and rebuild your faith with intention, freedom, and intimacy with God.

    “Confession without change isn’t humility—it’s sabotage. God wants transformation, not just transparency.” – Dr. Sharla

  • You’ve prayed. Fasted. Journaled. Talked it through with your therapist, your wise counsel, even the prophet. So why are you still stuck? This episode is for the high-functioning, self-aware woman who already has clarity—but hasn’t made the move. And spoiler: it’s not confusion. It’s avoidance. The kind that hides behind phrases like “I’m just using wisdom” or “I’m waiting on peace.”

    In this episode, Dr. Sharla unpacks why clarity often triggers internal resistance, not peace—and how your nervous system is doing its job trying to keep you “safe” by resisting obedience. You’ll learn how to recognize the freeze response for what it is: your brain protecting the status quo, not your future.

    We’re talking through the emotional, spiritual, and psychological cost of moving forward when God gives you direction—and why avoidance can look a lot like maturity on the outside. You’ll walk away with three biblical, clinically-sound strategies to finally break the cycle: Decision. Disruption. Disclosure.

    If you’ve been asking, “How do I stop feeling stuck when I already know what to do?”—this is the episode that meets you where you are and calls you forward. You don’t need more strategy. You need to move. And the minute you do, you’re not stuck—you’ve got momentum.

  • Think you’re being loyal to a role, a job, or a relationship? Think again.
