Are you sick of searching in all the wrong right places in hopes that you will find your true identity? Do you wish that you could find true freedom?

This podcast will help you find truth, healing, and freedom and empower you to find your truth. You will learn how to apply practical tools that will bring forth healing from your past wounds, break away from your negative mindset, and rewrite your story. Hi, I am your host Sandy Cortes, and I’m here to breathe hope one life at a time and walk alongside you into this journey. I’ve had many life challenges, including seeking approval from others, struggling with perfectionism, and having unhealthy mindsets. I did all of this in the hopes of trying to fit into what others wanted me to be without ever having a voice. I am living proof that restoration can be achieved, allowing you to live your life to the fullest. By applying the biblical truths learned, I was able to erase the lies that had been spoken over me and that I had to come to believe as truth. God gave each of us a story, and the things that we have gone through are not in vain. They are chapters in our ever-evolving story. If you’re willing and ready to begin to apply life applications, restore hope in your hearts, find truths to the lies and change those negative mindsets, then you’ve come to the right place. Let’s begin the journey to help you start living the life that the person who created you intended you to live. So grab your pen and paper, and let’s begin to rewrite your story.

Let’s Build a b Bridge and Not a Wall
Have you ever had friends that made a different decision than you or weren’t living according to your lifestyle or standards? Whether it was politics, different beliefs, different choices. Well, other choices can lead to many divisions in relationships.
Tune in today as I give a breakdown of what it looks like to love someone who’s made a choice that isn’t a sin or wrong issue, but it’s just different from yours? I give steps on what a healthy relationship doesn’t look like. How to reflect on “Do you know the whole situation or what life has been like for them.”
Learn to not narrow your friends to only people that align with the same choices you have made or beliefs. It’s time to step out of ourselves, let down our walls, and build a community bridge with others. The world needs us to build bridges and not walls!
After tuning in, you get to talk away with a reflection piece to begin to see how having walls has affected your relationships—deciding today if there is someone you need to build a bridge with!

Welcome to Episode 18
EP 18 “What vulnerability is, and why it’s good for us, it’s time to drop your guard, ladies, and gentlemen.”
There I was peeking in a spinning class and decided that I may give it a try! After watching how all the “fit” people came in immediately, my palms got sweaty, and I had anxiety and thought to myself, “Why in the world did I ever think I could do this”? I am not fit to be here! Ha! Guess what I was brave and faced that giant and cycled away that day!
How hard is it for you to be vulnerable? To place yourself in situations that make you feel uncomfortable, have you ever asked why I am uncomfortable? It’s time to get to know the why behind it!
In today’s episode, I share some of the “why” we have a problem with being vulnerable and how it can be good for us. Do you know that a lot of times, we resist being weak due to our life experiences?
Tune in as I share how our hearts never heal and will always remain hardened and guarded until you decide to drop your guard! It’s time to say to that guard of your palace, “YOUR FIRED”! Healthy things will only come your way when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable.
I share tips on how to begin to become aware and step out and be brave! #doitafraid has always been my motto!
As Brene Brown would say, “Vulnerability is not a weakness; it's our most significant measure of courage.”
