Graced for the Journey

The Root Problem Isn't What You Think It Is

You thought you knew what the problem was; but what if you've been addressing the wrong thing all along? In Part 3 of this series, I share what my dentist said that stopped me cold: one wisdom tooth I couldn't even feel was the source of all my pain. And it got me thinking about how often we do the exact same thing in life- treating every symptom while the root cause stays hidden and untouched. In this episode we talk about: * Why we confuse referred pain with the real problem * How the root cause is often the thing we least expect * What happened when I got honest with a trusted friend  and how fast things shifted * Why you need at least one person who can see what you can't * Why you are not as broken as you feel * How all of this connects to grief, trauma, and lasting emotional healing If things aren't getting better no matter what you try, it might be time to stop treating the surface and find the source. 🎁 Free Grief Guide – The Grace Method: amariehealing.kit.com/ebdee67d93 📱 Connect with Shuranda: Stan Store: stan.store/amariehealing Instagram: @shurandahall Linktree: linktr.ee/TheGracedMom TikTok: @thegracedmom

The Lie That Kept Me Stuck

Fear has a way of making things seem way bigger than they actually are; and I learned that the hard way. In Part 2 of this real, personal story, I'm sharing what happened when I knew something was wrong, knew I needed help, and still talked myself out of getting it. Until I couldn't anymore. What I found on the other side of that fear changed everything. In this episode we talk about: * Why fear magnifies situations beyond reality * How avoidance always costs you more in the long run * What to do when worst-case scenarios take over your mind * Why getting to a professional (any professional ) is always the right move * How this connects directly to emotional healing and grief Whether you're carrying physical pain, emotional pain, grief, or trauma — this message is for you. 🎁 Free Grief Guide – The Grace Method: amariehealing.kit.com/ebdee67d93 📱 Connect with Shuranda: Stan Store: stan.store/amariehealing Instagram: @shurandahall Linktree: linktr.ee/TheGracedMom TikTok: @thegracedmom

Beneath the Surface: When Self-Care Hurts

A “self-care” massage turned into the worst pain of my life… and God used it to teach me something I’ll never forget about healing. In this episode of Graced for the Journey, I’m sharing a real story that became a spiritual mirror: unhealed issues don’t disappear - they wait. We can be “fine” day-to-day… until something stirs what’s been sitting underneath. And fear has a way of making the problem feel bigger than it is; keeping us stuck, not because healing is impossible, but because it feels unsafe. In this episode, we talk about: - Why unhealed pain can stay quiet… until it erupts - How fear exaggerates the problem and delays healing   - The cost of waiting (and why delayed healing always has a price tag)   A - faith-based invitation to choose healing now

Before You Blame Your Attitude, Check These First

Ever felt yourself getting snappy or “in a mood” and you’re like… okay, what is my problem today?   In this episode, we’re doing a real check-in: is this actually an attitude… or is something else going on? Because sometimes it’s not that you’re being “difficult”; you’re tired, you haven’t eaten, you’re running on low sleep, you’re overwhelmed, or there’s something underlying (stress, grief, disappointment, burnout) that you haven’t named yet. We’re talking through practical things to check first, and how to respond with grace and honesty instead of shame. If you’ve been feeling off and don’t know why, press play; this is your reminder to pause, check yourself, and take the next right step.

What Does God Say About Grief? (The Answer May Surprise You)

Most people think that if your faith is strong enough, you should be able to push through grief quickly. But Scripture tells a completely different story. In this episode, we’re sitting with what the Bible actually says about grief - and it might surprise you. We’re talking about why Jesus wept even when He already had the miracle, why God doesn’t rush your healing, and what He’s doing in the waiting when it feels like nothing is happening. We also get into the difference between grieving with faith and using faith to bypass your pain - because spiritual bypassing is real, and it delays the healing God has for you. If you’ve ever felt guilty for still being in your grief, this episode is your permission slip. Scriptures to reference during the grieving period: John 11:35 | Psalm 56:8 | Psalm 139:12 | Genesis 16:13 | Psalm 34:18 | Deuteronomy 31:8 | Isaiah 43:2 | Ecclesiastes 3:4 | Psalm 13:1–2 | Psalm 30:5 | Isaiah 40:31 | Lamentations 3:22–23 | 1 Thessalonians 4:13–14 | Revelation 21:4 | John 14:1–3 | Romans 8:26 | 2 Corinthians 12:9 | Habakkuk 3:17–18 | 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 | Romans 8:28 | Isaiah 61:3
