The holidays can stir up all kinds of emotions after divorce — loneliness, pressure, old memories, and moments that hit way harder than expected. In this episode, Dana gets real about what this season can feel like… and how God meets us right in the middle of it.
She walks you through the “rebuilding bricks” God gave her over the last few years, how those words held her steady when circumstances didn’t, and why intentionally redirecting the mind is a powerful part of healing. You’ll also hear how the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel isn’t just a dramatic Bible moment — it’s a picture of what happens when we speak God’s truth over situations that look completely lifeless.
Dana also shares new research on gratitude and how it literally transforms the brain — from boosting dopamine and serotonin to calming emotional triggers and helping you shift your perspective. It’s wild how God designed us to heal from the inside out.
If you remember Episode 33, this episode builds on that foundation of praying Scripture out loud and watching the atmosphere change. Dana ties it all together for this holiday season, reminding you that you don’t have to pretend things aren’t hard — but you can choose what you cling to.

Dana
