Bravely Authentic | Heal Anxiety | Honesty and Self Awareness | Simple Peace Practice

Welcome to ”Bravely Authentic,” the podcast that’s undergone a powerful transformation, just like it’s host. Formerly known as the ”Honest Ugly Podcast,” we’ve realized that true authenticity requires embracing, and being honest about, the beauty and the mess within us. We’re in the process of rebranding because, let’s face it, honesty is actually a beautiful thing. Join us on this journey as we explore the raw and unfiltered aspects of our lives, choosing to live bravely authentic. It’s not always pretty, and we acknowledge that. By being honest about the ”ugly” in ourselves, we’ve discovered the strength to live authentically and embrace the truth of who we are, and the grace we’ve been given to keep on keeping on. If you’re ready to peel back the layers, get real, and embark on a journey towards becoming a more whole and healed version of yourself, then you’ve just stumbled upon your new favorite podcast. We’re not here to sugarcoat or pretend – it’s about to get real, people. Tune in for genuine conversations, relatable stories, and the truest expression of who we are right now, knowing that who we are right now is not who we are going to continue to be. Welcome to ”Bravely Authentic,” where authenticity is not just a goal, but a way of life. I express myself over on IG as @jen.nifer.kindle Want to be a guest here on Bravely Authentic? Email:

We are lied to and told that our purpose is found in feeling significant or having goals that help us contribute to something greater than ourselves.  But the truth is, or at least I think it is, that our purpose is simply to walk with God, to commune with Him, to fellowship with Him intimately.

If we listen to the experts without considering God's Spirit, we will set unhealthy boundaries more often than healthy ones. 

His ways are higher than ours, and although we do have to guard our hearts, set healthy boundaries, and pay attention to red flags, sometimes God is asking us to invest without a return and to trust Him to protect us and fill us up without our needs being met from other people.

We need His still small voice ...
