The Cost Of Not Fighting The War In Your Mind
There’s a war happening inside so many people—a silent, invisible battle that never makes the headlines.
listen to my latest episode 159
It’s not happening in the streets. It’s not splashed across the news.
It’s happening in bedrooms, behind closed doors, in the quiet moments when someone is alone with their thoughts.
It’s a battle of the mind—and tragically, it’s one that far too many people are losing.
I know this deeply, painfully, personally.
My mother took her own life 10 years ago this year.
Not because she didn’t have people who loved her. Not because she wasn’t smart or capable or valuable.
But because she believed the lies her mind told her.
She lost the battle with herself.
And that’s what inspired me to write this post—not as a therapist, but as someone who’s seen firsthand what happens when a person’s thoughts are louder than their hope.
Because the truth is: our minds are incredibly powerful.
They can build us up, or break us down.
They can inspire strength, or stir up fear.
They can remind us of our worth, or convince us we’re worthless.
Most of the time, we’re not taught how to manage what’s going on inside our heads.
No one tells us how to fight back when our thoughts turn dark.
We just assume that whatever we think must be true… and so we suffer in silence.
But I’m here to tell you—you can win this battle.
You can interrupt the toxic patterns. You can take back control.
You can stop letting your mind bully you into anxiety, shame, depression, and self-doubt.
And you don’t have to wait until life feels unbearable to begin.
You can start right now, right here, by simply choosing to believe there is another way.
In this episode, I want to walk you through exactly how the mind can take control of us—and what to do when it does.
These insights aren’t just about surviving mental health struggles—they’re about reclaiming your identity, your joy, and your future.
Because yes—your thoughts are loud.
But your spirit? Your will to fight?
It’s louder.
