Hello Sisters, I am Dr. Wendy Burchett, doctor of psychology and licensed marriage and family therapist. I am also a Christ follower who spent 20 years trying to figure out how to find my way out of toxic relationships and rediscover my identity to create a life I loved. 
I was stuck and confused about God’s will for me, waiting for others to change, hoping I was enough. I was afraid of staying and scared to death to leave. I finally realized if I wanted change I had to find safety for myself, quit waiting on others to change, and focus on building identity to move forward. 
I created a method to get unstuck in relationships and begin to build an identity in Christ that worked for me, while giving me freedom from anxiety, fear and toxicity. I can’t wait to share it with you! 


If you are ready to… 
Understand God’s will for your relationship
Take action without fear
Discover your identity 
Find emotional safety
And create an awesome plan for your future.. 
Then this podcast is for YOU! 

Grab some courage and your coffee! Let’s dive in!
