I share my own story of carrying that lie and how it shapes our inner narrative, then ground us in timeless truth: you were made on purpose, you are precious, and your worth isn’t earned—it’s given. We explore the two common reactions to deep loneliness (shutting down or lashing out) and why neither heals, and I offer a simple, practical way to start letting truth back in, one small step at a time.<br /><br />I guide you through a week-one practice: write down two sentences—"I matter. I am enough."—place them where you’ll see them, add one name of someone who has shown you you matter, and declare, “The truth is stronger than the voices.” Whether you’re strong in faith, skeptical, or somewhere in between, this episode is an invitation to begin again and move toward healing—one honest step toward truth.<br /><strong>Email:</strong>&nbsp;<a target="_blank">mailto://[email protected]</a></p>
