In this Scripture-centered episode of The Whole Hearted Woman Podcast, Kristen Rey explores Christ-centered heart formation and how survival patterns are shaped through life experiences, relationships, grief, illness, and moments that influence our sense of safety, identity, and worth. Rather than focusing on therapy or self-fixing, this conversation invites women into a gentle, trauma-informed journey of Christian emotional healing — learning to understand how the heart was formed and how God r...

What happens when we finally slow down enough to hear what’s happening inside our hearts? In this deeply gentle episode of The Wholehearted Woman Podcast, Kris Rey invites you into a sacred pause — a space where healing doesn’t begin with fixing, striving, or analyzing… but with learning to listen safely. Many of us were never taught how to sit with our emotions or notice what our bodies are holding. Instead, we learned to survive by staying strong, pushing forward, or quietly walling parts o...

Many women know God loves them. They believe the Scriptures. They have real faith. And yet, they are still tired. In this episode of The Wholehearted Woman Podcast, we explore the tension so many believers live with—the gap between what we know to be true and what we are actually experiencing in our daily lives. Why does striving persist even when faith is strong? Why does rest feel elusive when we trust God? Why can we understand our pain and still feel unable to break free from it? Together...

In this episode, we’re talking about truth— not as something to weaponize against ourselves or others, but as something that gently replaces the lies our hearts learned while we were trying to survive. Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” But this freedom isn’t about collecting more information. It’s about liberation. Today, we explore how the heart carries stories, beliefs, and survival strategies formed in seasons of pain—and how Jesus, who is the Truth, c...

In this episode, we slow down and turn our attention toward awareness—because healing doesn’t begin with change, it begins with noticing. Many of us love God deeply and want to live wholeheartedly, yet our hearts have quietly learned ways of protecting themselves through pain, disappointment, or loss. These adaptations don’t mean we lack faith—they often mean the heart has been trying to survive. Today’s conversation is anchored in Psalm 139, where David prays, “Search me, O God, and know my h...

In this episode, we continue our journey into understanding the heart—not as something to fix or override, but as something God deeply cares for. Many faithful women love God sincerely, trust His Word, and desire to live wholeheartedly… and yet still feel tired, unsettled, or quietly afraid of getting it wrong. In this episode, we gently explore why that tension exists, how pain is often over-spiritualized rather than tended, and why healing is not a failure of faith—but an invitation into deep...

Where Healing Begins What if needing healing isn’t a failure of faith? In this episode of The Whole Hearted Woman Podcast, we begin by naming something many women quietly carry but rarely say out loud: that you can love and serve Christ deeply and still feel tired, fractured, or worn down inside. This episode is not about hype, quick fixes, or trying harder. It’s an invitation to pause, breathe, and begin again. Together, we gently explore why faith can feel heavy instead of life-giving, how ...
