I Changed My Thinking to Change My Drinking | Christy Osborne

From the outside, her life looked beautiful. But privately, Christy Osborne was using wine to numb grief, stress, loneliness, and pain she didn’t know how to carry. In this powerful episode of Out of Focus, Shannon sits down with Christy Osborne to talk about mommy wine culture, emotional numbness, grief, shame, drifting from God, and the slow spiral that alcohol created in her life. What started as social drinking eventually became a coping mechanism during motherhood, emotional exhaustion, and the devastating loss of her mother. But this episode isn’t just about alcohol. It’s about the deeper things people run to instead of Jesus when they’re hurting — and how God lovingly calls His children back to Himself. Christy vulnerably shares how God renewed her mind, restored her peace, strengthened her marriage, and helped her discover true freedom through surrender and dependence on Him. Together, Shannon and Christy discuss: • Addiction and coping mechanisms • Grief and emotional healing • Mommy wine culture • Shame and restoration • Renewing the mind • Freedom through Christ • Learning to hear God’s conviction with grace and love This conversation is honest, hope-filled, and deeply encouraging for anyone who feels trapped in cycles they can’t break alone. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” — John 10:10 🤍 Christy Osborne Website: https://lovelifesober.co.uk/ [https://lovelifesober.co.uk/] RESOURCES & LINKS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_shannon_stewart [https://www.instagram.com/_shannon_stewart] Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outoffocuspodcast [https://www.instagram.com/outoffocuspodcast] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shannonstewartmodel [https://www.facebook.com/shannonstewartmodel] TikTok: http://www.tiktok.com/shannon_stewart [http://www.tiktok.com/shannon_stewart]_ 🎙️ All platforms & freebies: https://linktr.ee/shannonstewart [https://linktr.ee/shannonstewart] 📩 Booking inquiries: info@shannonstewartmodel.com #OutOfFocusPodcast #ShannonStewart #ChristianPodcast #Testimony #Redemption #Grace #Faith

When Control Breaks… God Becomes Your Safe Place | Emily Copeland

What if the place you’re trying to escape… is where God wants to meet you? A lot of people hit a moment in life where what they’ve been holding together… just starts to fall apart. Maybe things didn’t turn out the way they thought they would. Maybe they’re tired of trying to keep everything in control. Maybe they’re wondering where God even is in the middle of it. In this episode of Out of Focus, Shannon Stewart sits down with Emily Copeland for an honest, real, and deeply needed conversation. Emily shares how modeling slowly shaped the way she saw her body, her worth, and her need for approval… and how that constant pressure to measure up left her exhausted. This episode speaks directly to the quiet struggle so many women carry—the feeling of never quite measuring up. Emily also opens up about a season she never would have chosen—a painful and confusing time that felt like a desert. She was hurt. She was angry. And she didn’t understand what God was doing. But instead of walking away… she opened her Bible. And what she found wasn’t what she expected. God met her there. Not after everything was fixed. Not when she had it all together. Right there in the middle of it. In this conversation, they talk about: * performance-based faith and striving * the pressure to “get it right” * the illusion of control * what to do when you feel angry at God * and how surrender leads to real peace This episode is for anyone who feels tired, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to trust God in a difficult season. Surrender might feel like losing control…but it’s actually where peace begins.

She Won America’s Next Top Model… But It Didn’t Fulfill Her | Jaslene Gonzalez

Have you ever gotten something you thought would make you happy… and it didn’t? She won America’s Next Top Model. She traveled the world. She built the life so many dream about. And still… something was missing. In this episode of Out of Focus, Shannon Stewart sits down with Jaslene Gonzalez for a raw and honest conversation about success, identity, and what happens when the life you worked for doesn’t satisfy you the way you thought it would. Jaslene shares her journey—from an abusive relationship, to winning Top Model, to hitting a breaking point that forced her to slow down and ask a deeper question: “Is this really what I thought would fulfill me?” What she found wasn’t more success. It wasn’t more validation. It was Jesus. In the middle of loss, confusion, and rebuilding, she encountered a God who wasn’t distant—but pursuing. This episode is for the one who feels like something is missing… even when life looks good on the outside. God hasn’t left you. He’s closer than you think.
