To Help You Heal

We’ve reached week three of our four-part series on creating space for healing and growth. In week one, we focused on relaxation—building small moments of rest into our everyday lives. Last week, we talked about listening—to ourselves, to God, and to what rises up when we give space for quiet.
This week is all about clarity.
Clarity is simply making sense of what we’ve heard. It’s not about perfection or having a ten-year plan—it’s about identifying our next right step. Without clarity, we can get stuck in confusion, overthinking, and indecision. But when we pause to notice patterns, ask gentle questions, and trust what God is highlighting, we begin to see the path forward more clearly.
In this episode, I share:
Why clarity matters and what it really looks like.
Common barriers to clarity: overthinking, negativity, fear, and outside noise.
How to use your listening practice to notice themes and nudges.
Simple reflection questions to help you recognize what feels heavy, what feels life-giving, and where God may be leading.
Why clarity is layered and often comes one step at a time.
Reflection prompts for this week:
What repeated themes or nudges have you noticed as you’ve practiced listening?
What feels heavy right now—something you might need less of?
What feels life-giving—something God may be inviting you into more deeply?
Clarity doesn’t come from striving—it comes from slowing down, listening, and trusting God to highlight what’s next. Practice noticing, stay gentle with yourself, and remember that clarity is a compass, not a detailed map.
Next week, we’ll wrap up the series by talking about how to create—taking the clarity we’ve gained and shaping it into something meaningful in our lives.

This week on To Help You Heal, I’m continuing our four-part series by focusing on something so simple yet often so difficult: listening.
Last week, we laid the foundation by talking about relaxation—how creating moments of calm prepares our hearts and minds for what’s next. This week, we’re building on that by exploring how to listen—to yourself, to God, and to the quiet nudges that often get drowned out by the noise of daily life.
In this episode, I share:
Why listening isn’t passive—it’s an intentional, active practice.
How relaxation creates the space needed to truly hear.
Practical ways to carve out 5–10 minutes a day of quiet, without distraction.
Discovery-based questions you can ask yourself and God to gain new insight.
How to recognize when negativity, fear, or doubt tries to crowd out truth.
The importance of staying open—without rushing to fix, solve, or control.
Listening is an ongoing process. It’s about creating space, asking honest questions, and being open to what arises—whether it’s peace, tension, or God’s still small voice. You don’t need to figure it all out this week. For now, the goal is simply to listen.
 
💭 Reflection prompts to take with you:
Where in your life do you need to create more space to listen?
What question do you want to ask yourself or God this week?
What might shift if you stayed open to listening instead of rushing to answer?
I hope this episode encourages you to slow down, breathe, and give yourself the gift of listening. Next week, we’ll continue the journey by talking about clarity—what to do with the things you’ve heard and how to discern the next steps forward.

This week, we’re starting a brand new four-week series where each step builds on the one before: Relax → Listen → Clarity → Create.
Today, we’re beginning with the foundation — relaxation. And I don’t just mean vacations or naps (though those are wonderful too). I’m talking about weaving moments of rest into your everyday life so you can breathe, reset, and make space for what matters.
We’ll talk about why relaxation is more than a luxury — it’s preparation. It helps us shift from a constant state of reacting into a place where we can hear both our own thoughts and God’s leading. I’ll share simple, practical ways you can release tension physically, mentally, and spiritually, even in the middle of your busy schedule.
You’ll also get a few reflection questions to help you notice where you’re carrying stress and how to invite peace back into your day.
Because when we make space to relax, we make space for God.
 
Reflection Questions for This Week:
Where do I feel the most tension in my body right now?
What’s one small way I can give myself more space to relax this week?
How might God meet me if I slowed down enough to notice Him?
 

If you’ve been with me over the past few weeks, you know we’ve been walking through a series about emotional healing — starting with the idea of the “emotional closet” we all tend to stuff full of things we’d rather not deal with. We talked about what happens when the door pops open, how to create space for peace, and how to build rhythms that support our healing.
This week, I’m closing the series by talking about what comes next — how to live from a healed, open-hearted place.
Because once we’ve made some space, once we’ve felt the release of letting go, the real challenge is staying open.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
What it means to live open-hearted, even after disappointment or hurt
Why shutting down feels “safe” but often leads to loneliness
How to identify whether you’re still guarding certain parts of yourself
The role of community and connection in your continued healing
And why joy, vulnerability, and even emotional messiness are all part of a full life
We also talk about what it looks like to process emotions in real time — not stuffing them away, not letting them explode, but letting yourself feel without fear and respond with grace.
Living with your heart open doesn’t mean everything is fixed. It means you’re choosing to walk through life with honesty, connection, and space for healing — day by day.
 
Reflection Questions:
Where in my life do I still feel guarded?
What would it look like to be just a little more open this week?
Who or what is God inviting me to connect with more deeply right now?
If you’ve felt challenged or encouraged through this series, I’d love to hear from you. Reach out on social media or email me directly. And if you want to keep walking this out with support, you can book a free clarity session with me at MarieMonville.com.
Friend, the healing has started — and your story, your heart, and your peace are worth protecting and living from. Not someday. Today.

If you joined me last week, you’ll remember we talked about that closet — the one where we tend to stuff things we don’t want to deal with. Not just the physical clutter, but the emotional kind too. You know, the conversations we’ve avoided, the frustration we’ve ignored, the pain we’ve shoved down and hoped would just stay tucked away.
But what happens after the door opens and things start spilling out?
This week, I want to talk about what comes next — how we begin to create emotional space and experience peace without overwhelming ourselves or trying to fix it all at once.
We’ll talk about:
Why emotional peace doesn’t mean feeling nothing — it means having space to feel without being overwhelmed
What it looks like to stop re-stuffing the closet after we’ve started the healing process
Three gentle rhythms to help you create more breathing room in your daily life
How to bring your emotions into prayer — and why that simple step can shift everything
A realistic view of peace that works even in our everyday, imperfect lives
This episode isn’t about pressure or perfection. It’s about walking at your pace, with God beside you, and learning to build a life where there’s space to feel, process, and heal.
 
Reflection Questions:
What does emotional peace look like for me — realistically, not perfectly?
What’s one emotion or situation I’ve been trying to avoid this week?
What’s one small rhythm or boundary I could start to help me create space for peace?
 
If you’re finding it hard to do this alone, I’d love to walk with you. You can book a free clarity session on my website, MarieMonville.com, or send me a message on social media. You don’t have to figure this out by yourself.
 

This week, I’m inviting you into a conversation about emotional healing — not in a clinical sense, but in a real-life, heart-level kind of way.
I start by asking a question we can probably all relate to:Do you have that one closet where you shove everything in and just hope the door will close?You lean against it, you hear the latch click shut, and you breathe a little sigh of relief — until one day, the door pops open and everything comes flying out. And sometimes, it lands on the people we love.
That’s what emotional clutter looks like.
In this episode, I share how emotional work is a lot like cleaning out that catch-all closet — and how healing doesn’t mean pulling out the heaviest thing in the back right away. Instead, it’s about starting with what’s right in front of us: the frustrations, the patterns, the quiet stories we’ve been carrying and stuffing away.
We talk about:
Why emotions spill out unexpectedly
How to notice what’s been building under the surface
Why starting small is not only okay — it’s wise
Creating a system so we stop stuffing new things inside
What it looks like to give ourselves space, grace, and time
This is about making room in your emotional life — so you’re not constantly bracing for the next moment the door flies open. And it’s about reminding you that healing doesn’t come from hiding. It comes from gently choosing to begin.
Reflection Questions:
What’s been sitting at the front of your emotional closet, waiting to be noticed?
Where in your life does it feel like the door won’t stay shut anymore?
What would it look like to create more space to process, rather than stuff things away?
If you’re feeling stuck and want someone to walk through this with you, I’d love to help. You can book a free clarity session with me at www.mariemonville.com or reach out on social media.
You don’t need to empty the whole closet today.Just pick one thing, and start there.

Thanks for being here with me on To Help You Heal as we wrap up our four-week series on miracles and the belief that God is still moving in our lives today.
This week, I’m talking about something that’s incredibly close to my heart — the power of sharing your story. It’s one thing to see God show up in your life, but it’s another thing entirely to tell someone about it. And I believe we need both. Because your story might be the reminder someone else needs that God is still working.
We often think our stories need to be dramatic or "worthy" in some big, front-page-news kind of way — but the truth is, any moment where God showed up for you is worth sharing. Those everyday miracles? Those quiet breakthroughs? They matter. And they have power.
In this episode, I talk about:
Why hearing stories from people we know can stir faith in a deeper way
How fear and vulnerability can hold us back from sharing — and why it’s still worth it
The importance of looking for God's fingerprints in our lives
A reminder from Revelation 12:11 — “They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony”
A personal reflection on how I know I’m living a miracle, even when it doesn’t always feel like one
I truly believe the world needs more good news — not just the headlines, but the stories we carry inside us. And someone in your life might be waiting for a word of hope that only your story can offer.
This Week’s Reflection:
As we close out this series, I want to leave you with a few simple questions:
Where has God answered your prayers?
What’s a moment in your life that you know was a miracle?
Who’s the one person you can share that story with this week?
It doesn’t have to be big. It doesn’t have to be public. It just has to be real.
Ask God to show you — “Who needs this story?” — and then take that step to share it.
Because your story carries light.
If this series has meant something to you, I’d love to hear about it. You can email me at Marie@MarieMonville.com or message me on social. And if there's something you’d love to hear more about, send me a topic suggestion!
I can’t wait to continue walking with you on this healing journey. Let’s keep looking for the places where God is still moving — in us, around us, and through us.

Thanks for joining me on this week's episode of To Help You Heal. We're continuing our series on miracles — and today, I want to ask a simple but powerful question:
Do you still believe in miracles?
Maybe you're not sure. I get it — it can feel risky to believe again, especially after disappointment. In this episode, I discuss what it means to hold onto hope when the outcome doesn't align with our expectations and how we can shift our focus from controlling the result to trusting in God's presence along the way.
I also share one of my favorite stories from Scripture — the father in Mark 9 who brings his son to Jesus and says, "I believe, but help my unbelief." That line has stayed with me for years because it's so honest. It reminds me that God meets us right in the middle of our fragile faith.
We'll explore:
Why it's often easier to believe for someone else than for ourselves
How disappointment can quietly dull our faith
The difference between expecting an outcome vs. expectancy in God showing up
Why childlike wonder still matters in our spiritual life
The quiet, subtle ways God may already be working in your life
I encourage you to bring your questions, your unbelief, and your tired hope to God — and ask Him to revive your faith. He's still moving. He's still performing miracles. And sometimes, He's just waiting for us to believe again.
Reflect & Respond:
Here are a few questions I'd love for you to sit with this week:
Do I still believe that God is a God of miracles?
Has hope quietly slipped away for me in any area of my life?
What have I stopped praying for because I'm afraid to hope again?
Can I, like the father in Mark 9, say: "I believe — help my unbelief"?
If any of these resonate, I encourage you to bring them to God with a simple, honest prayer:
 "Awaken my faith. Show me Your wonder. I believe again, and I am open to Your miracles."
Next week, we'll wrap up this series by talking about the healing power of your story — and how testifying to what God has done invites healing for you and for others.

Thanks for joining me for another episode in our summer series on miracles. Today, we’re talking about something that can quietly shift everything: our perspective.
So often, we move through life looking through a lens shaped by past experiences, old beliefs, or doubts—and we don’t even realize it. I share a personal reflection and how a small shift reminded me of what happens when we begin to see through God’s eyes instead of our own.
In this episode, we’ll talk about:
💭 False stories that shape how you see yourself💭 The mindset shift that opens your eyes to where God is already working💭 A practical way to pause and realign your vision with God’s truth
This week’s gentle prayer:“God, help me see myself and my life through Your eyes.”
If last week’s episode on trusting God in the silence resonated with you, this one will meet you right where you are.
And if someone you love is struggling to believe that hope is still possible—send this their way.
Next week, we’ll be talking about what it means to believe again… even when it’s hard.

In this week’s episode, we begin a brand-new series centered on rediscovering the truth that God is actively present, He hears our prayers, and He still moves in our lives today.
Have you ever gone through a season where you couldn’t feel God’s presence? Where His silence made you wonder if you’d done something wrong or if He had left you altogether?
We'll talk about the question — what do we do when we don’t feel Him? Because God’s silence doesn’t mean absence, and that often, it’s our mindset, distraction, or expectation that needs to shift in order to see Him more clearly. This episode helps you anchor your faith in the unchanging truth that God is always near.
In This Episode, You’ll Hear:
Why feeling disconnected from God doesn’t mean you’ve failed spiritually
How to shift from self-blame to confident trust in God’s nearness
Practical ideas for reconnecting with God through Scripture, worship, silence, and presence
A personal reflection on seeing God during a season of profound suffering and healing
The power of creating space in your life — and in your mind — to hear Him again
Scripture Highlight:
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
Reflection Questions:
When was the last time you felt God was silent? How did you respond?
Is there an expectation, distraction, or belief that might be making it harder to sense God's presence right now?
What would change in your relationship with God if you believed He was always near — even in the quiet?
A Gentle Practice to Try:
Take 2 quiet minutes today. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Ask:“God, where have You been that I may not have seen You?”Let stillness be your teacher and your healing.
