She Lives Freed with Brittany Dawn Nelson

What happens when you finally surrender the things you were never meant to carry on your own?

In today’s deeply powerful episode, Brittany sits down with Stephanie Franklin-Suber for a raw and hope-filled conversation about striving, survival mode, chronic illness, burnout, grief, and the freedom that can only be found through full dependence on God.

Stephanie shares her testimony of walking through cancer, chronic health struggles, emotional depletion, and even surviving a cardiac arrest… and how those seasons completely reshaped her understanding of surrender, healing, identity, and intimacy with God.

This conversation is for the woman who:


Loves Jesus but feels exhausted


Has been trying to hold everything together in her own strength


Wonders why healing has taken longer than expected


Feels discouraged in a difficult season


Is ready to stop surviving and start surrendering

Together, Brittany and Stephanie talk about what it looks like to trust God with a journey you didn’t choose, honor your body without shame, and discover that God still meets us tenderly in our weakest moments.

This episode will remind you that freedom in Christ is real… and even at the end of yourself, His grace is still enough.

Motherhood today can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to raise children who genuinely love Jesus in a world that constantly pulls them in the opposite direction.

In this episode, I’m joined by Rhonda Stoppe… best-selling author, speaker, and host of the Old Ladies Know Stuff podcast. With over 40 years of marriage, children and grandchildren, Rhonda brings a powerful, multi-generational perspective on what it actually looks like to raise Godly children in real life: not from perfection, but through faithfulness.

We talk about the difference between raising well-behaved kids and raising disciples, how to let go of control and mom guilt, and what it truly means to steward motherhood as a calling… rather than a performance.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of wanting to “get it right” as a mom: this conversation is for you.


What it really means to raise Godly children


The difference between behavior modification vs. heart transformation


How to disciple your kids in everyday, practical ways


Letting go of perfection, control, and comparison


Raising kids with fearless faith in today’s culture


Why your personal walk with God matters more than you think


Common parenting mistakes Christian moms are making


How God redeems our failures in motherhood


What matters most in the early years (especially for new moms)

Rhonda Stoppe is a best-selling author, internationally respected speaker, and host of the award-winning podcast Old Ladies Know Stuff. She has spent decades equipping women and families with biblical wisdom rooted in real-life experience.

Married for over 40 years, Rhonda is a mom and grandmother, offering a rare and powerful perspective on raising children who walk with the Lord across generations.

In today’s episode, I sit down with trauma therapist and nervous system expert Rochelle Walsh to talk about burnout from a perspective many women have never considered. Instead of seeing burnout as a lack of faith, discipline, or time management, it's often a sign of nervous system dysregulation.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like you’re constantly running on empty—even while doing things you love—this conversation is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

- Why burnout is often a nervous system issue, not a spiritual failure

- The hidden impact of chronic stress and high-capacity living

- How motherhood and life transitions can trigger overwhelm

- Practical ways to regulate your nervous system daily

- The power of slowing down and being fully present

- Why self-compassion is essential for emotional and spiritual health

In today’s episode of She Lives Freed, I have the honor of chatting with Lisa Bevere for a conversation that is both deeply convicting and incredibly freeing. We’re talking about a pattern that so many women fall into, but rarely recognize: nagging, control, and the urge to constantly correct our husbands.Culture normalizes it, social media jokes about it, but Scripture has something very different to say.

This episode isn’t about shame: it’s about refinement.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated in your marriage, caught yourself repeating the same things over and over, or if you’ve struggled to trust God with your husband’s growth… this conversation will challenge you to step out of control and into surrender and respect.

Your words have the power to either build your marriage or slowly tear it down. And God is calling us higher in this hour as wives and women of God.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:


The biblical truth about nagging and why it’s more serious than we think


How constant correction can tear down your husband’s identity


The difference between healthy communication vs. control


Why nagging often reveals a deeper trust issue with God


How to communicate needs without dishonor


Practical ways to replace frustration with life-giving words

At what point did what you’re walking through become who you are?

In today’s episode, we’re having an honest, Spirit-led conversation about labels: anxiety, ADHD, trauma, burnout… and how easily they can shift from something we experience to something we identify with.

This episode is not about dismissing real struggles, it’s about bringing clarity, discernment, and truth back into the conversation.

Because even though these symptoms might be real… your identity is still rooted in Christ.

In this episode, we talk about the difference between understanding your struggles and coming into agreement with them, how the spirit of confusion can keep you stuck, and what it looks like to actually walk in freedom: mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

If you’ve ever felt like “this is just who I am”… this episode is for you.


When a diagnosis or struggle becomes your identity


The difference between awareness vs. agreement


What the Bible says about confusion and identity


How the spirit of confusion operates in everyday life


Misdiagnosis, culture, and the normalization of labels


The role of the Holy Spirit in healing and clarity


Practical steps to break agreement with false identities


How to renew your mind and walk in truth daily
