“Llévame al momento en que tu vida se rompió por completo — el divorcio, el desmoronamiento, la pérdida de identidad. ¿Qué creías sobre ti en esa etapa… y qué descubriste después que era mentira?” “En tu punto más bajo, ¿cómo sonaban tus conversaciones con Dios? No la versión bonita o correcta — las oraciones reales, crudas, desordenadas. ¿Y qué cambió cuando dejaste de actuar para Dios y empezaste a ser honesta con Él?” “Has dicho muchas veces que estás mejor equipada para ayudar a la persona que fuiste. Describe a esa mujer: ¿cuáles eran sus miedos? ¿Sus patrones? ¿Sus puntos ciegos? ¿Qué necesitaba escuchar desesperadamente y por qué no lo escuchó antes?” “Hay una diferencia entre crecer y transformarse. Crecer es agregar cosas; transformarse es convertirte en alguien diferente. ¿Qué tuviste que matar, soltar o enterrar para transformarte de verdad?” “¿Cuáles son las disciplinas no negociables — espirituales, físicas, mentales y relacionales — que han moldeado tu identidad y te han reconstruido desde adentro? Cuéntame cómo cada una te reprogramó en algo específico.” “¿Qué es una cosa que creías sobre Dios, el amor o la feminidad que resultó estar completamente equivocada — y cómo te cambió esa nueva comprensión en la manera en que te muestras como madre, pareja y mujer?” “Si una mujer está escuchando ahora — enojada, rota, avergonzada, atrapada en patrones — y no cree que el cambio sea posible para ella… ¿qué le dirías que no sea motivación barata, sino una verdad dura y esperanzadora?” “Cuando miras hacia adelante — no a metas, sino a la mujer en la que te estás convirtiendo — ¿cómo se ve tu fuerza espiritual, tu madurez emocional, tu liderazgo y tu manera de amar en 5 años? ¿Y cómo te aseguras de que esa futura versión tuya realmente nazca, y no se quede solo en una idea?” Learn more about your ad choices.

1. “Take me back to the moment when your life cracked open — the divorce, the unraveling, the identity collapse. What did you believe about yourself in that season… and what did you later realize was a lie?” 2. “At your lowest point, how did your conversations with God sound? Not the polished, Sunday-school version — the real, raw, messy prayers. And what changed when you stopped performing for God and started being honest with Him?” 3. “You’ve said many times that you are best equipped to help the person you used to be. Describe that man: What were his fears? His patterns? His blind spots? What did he most desperately need to hear, and why didn’t he hear it sooner?” 4. “There’s a difference between growth and transformation. Growth is additions; transformation is becoming someone different. What did you have to kill, surrender, or bury in order to truly transform?” 5. “What are the non-negotiable disciplines — spiritual, physical, mental, relational — that have actively re-shaped your identity and helped rebuild you from the inside out? Tell me how each one rewired something specific in you.” 6. “What is one thing you believed about God, love, or masculinity that turned out to be completely wrong — and how has that new understanding changed how you show up as a father, partner, and man?” 7. “If a man is listening right now — angry, heartbroken, ashamed, stuck in patterns — and he doesn’t believe change is possible for him… what would you say that isn’t motivational fluff, but a brutal, hopeful truth?” 8. “When you look ahead — not at goals, but at the man you are becoming — what does spiritual strength, emotional maturity, leadership, and love look like in 5 years? And how do you make sure that future man is born, not just imagined?” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
