What if your beliefs are all that is holding you back, keeping you playing small, and leading to the overwhelming feeling of being STUCK?

In this Hope Huddle episode, Tammy & Sunny huddled up with mindset and transformation coach, Laurie Dufresne to talk all things “limiting beliefs.”

We discuss marrying action to truth, blaming the enemy (gulp), and other excuses that may be halting your journey.

In Laurie’s own wilderness season, she found a passion, a dream, a bigger mission to serve women, to help them shift mindsets, master emotional reactions and take back control in areas of life where they’ve felt stuck the longest. And today, she graciously huddled up to bring the Wild Hope community a taste of freedom in this area.

Whether you’re struggling with your health, your confidence, your relationships, or your purpose, Laurie reminds us; you don’t have to stay where you are. You can break free!

This episode will inspire you and have you eager to take hope-fueled action to rise and step into the wide open spacious life.

You can get Laurie’s “Breaking Free” Journal and her introductory masterclass for FREE! Plus, get on the waitlist for her new digital course and workbook. Ladies, do us a favor- thank her for investing in our community by following her on social media and sharing this episode!

**Sensitive Topic Warning. May not want to listen at work or with kiddos running around. **

There are moments when staying silent isn’t an option—and this is one of them. In this raw and deeply honest episode which is outside the norm of our episodes, Sunny throws open the doors on a conversation the church has too often avoided. Abuse. Injustice. Wounds hidden under the rug of religion. This isn’t just a conversation about broken systems—it’s a call to every one of us to rise up, disrupt the comfortable, and be the change.

With holy outrage, personal experience with sexual & spiritual abuse, and tender conviction, Sunny challenges us to stop hiding behind spiritual clichés and Hobby Lobby signs and start asking the real question: Are we bearing the image of God well in how we show up for the hurting?

This episode isn’t about pointing fingers. It’s about staring down the places where compromise and silence have left people suffering alone and with a picture of Jesus that doesn’t accurately reflect his Heart.—and choosing something better. A revival that starts not in the world, the church, but in our own surrendered hearts.

This is a call to courage. A call to repentance. A call to change. Because healing the house of God starts with us.

For those of you swimming in the waters of healing from abuse- we ask you to prayerfully consider connecting with a counselor - we were not designed to swim in these waters alone.

The Curious Shift from Overwhelm to Overflow-

BONUS EPISODE COMPANION- Rise & Step: The Overflow Toolkit

Ever feel overwhelmed, like you’re drowning in demands, expectations, and emotions—and just trying to stay afloat?

In this soul-stirring episode, we get real about the weight so many women are silently carrying. From busyness and burnout to the emotional and spiritual toll of doing ALL THE THINGS. Sunny Cain names what so many of us feel—but don’t always say out loud: overwhelm is real, and it’s costing us more than we realize.

But what if it doesn’t have to be this way? And what if God has been showing us the way since the opening lines of scripture?

Today we introduce a powerful reframe—the curious shift from overwhelm to overflow—plus our OVERFLOW TOOLKIT (FREE Download) to walk you through what it looks like in your mind, body, emotions, soul, and behavior. With compassion and clarity, Sunny offers reflective questions and gentle truth to help you establish order, find margin, and redirect your current choices to align with what matters most to you right now. All of this so that you can move forward into the spacious life you were created for.

Let’s make the shift—from chaos to clarity, from pressure to peace, from overwhelm to overflow.

Because wild hope begins right where you are.

“You complete me.” Nope. Not today, Jerry.

In this raw and real episode of Wild Hope Rising, Sunny and Tammy tackle one of the sneakiest hope duds out there: the belief that another person can be your source of completion, healing, or identity.

From the highs of listener wins to the gut-wrenching grief of unmet expectations, they hold space for it all — marriage tension, friendship disappointment, church hurt, and the deep ache of dreams that didn’t come to pass. And yet, right there in the middle of the mess, they invite you to do something radical: let misplaced hope die so true hope can rise.

This conversation is honest, a little firey, and completely drenched in grace. It's for the woman who’s given too much power to people. For the one grieving what never became. For the one ready to release control and finally breathe.

Because real hope? It’s not found in perfect people or flawless circumstances. It’s found in a wildly faithful God who actually can complete you — and already has.

So let’s put the dud to death. Let’s stop waiting for others to fix what only God can fill. Let’s rise.

Let’s go there, ladies. It’s time to breathe deep, get real, and walk wildly free.

Hope Dud #4 The Pressure for Perfect

Ever feel like you’re falling behind on some invisible checklist? Like if your life doesn’t look polished, filtered, and all-together, then somehow you’re not enough?

In this real and relatable episode, Sunny Cain opens up about the pressure for perfection that so many of us carry — from family milestones and life transitions to the messy middle moments (like a hilariously chaotic trip to the bank). With vulnerability and a little humor, she shares how the weight of trying to "get it all right" can actually keep us from walking in the freedom we were made for.

This one is a permission slip to breathe. To lay down the masks. To choose purpose over performance. To remember that perfection was never the goal — presence is.

Sunny invites you to trade the curated version of life for the real, rooted one. Because wild hope doesn’t grow in perfection. It grows in the cracks, in the honest places, in the life that’s fully lived.

Let’s go there, ladies. It's time to live wildly free and full of purpose.

Hope Dud #3 – Hope Isn’t Numb: Rethinking What Healing Feels Like

Is it possible that our pursuit of healing can actually drain our hope? In this real and raw episode, Sunny Cain continues in the "Hope Dud” series- those sneaky false anchors we cling to when walking through wilderness seasons. She unpacks the lie that healing means you won’t still feel the weight of your past—and invites listeners to define healing from a new paradigm- one where both the ache and the hope can co-exist.

Sunny shares from her own story—childhood wounds, physical struggles, emotional burnout—and asks the hard questions: What if healing isn’t a checklist? What if freedom looks different than we thought?

If you’ve ever felt like your journey toward healing is wearing you out more than lifting you up, this one’s for you. Let’s ditch the performance and step into the kind of healing that actually brings hope.

Let’s go there, ladies. It's time to breathe deep, get real, and walk wildly free.

Buckle Up! It’s Time for Wild Hope

Let's chat today about how we are sometimes driven by thoughts in our subconscious, which we may be entirely unaware of. These thoughts form actions driven by internal messages lurking under the surface in our hearts;

• “If I can keep everyone happy, manage their mood, please others…”
• “if I gain their acceptance or approval…”
• “If I can earn my seat at table…into the circle…to the promotion….”
• “Then, I will be worthy. And if I feel worthy, I will finally have hope.”

This is a HOPE DUD driven by the BOO (the Big Opinions of Others) aka people pleasing and it falls flat and robs us of peace. It is exhausting, soul sucking, and hope draining. Let’s stop buying the lie that our performance and what people think of us determine our self worth!

Listen in is as Sunny shares how this showed up in her life and left her hustling for belonging- you might just be able to relate to this. We’re in this together ladies!

Let’s lean in and identify areas we are hustling for what we already have! Then together, we can dare to choose to believe what God says about us has been true all along.

Buckle Up! It’s Time for Wild Hope

We are launching a brand new series called HOPE DUDS today! Our goal is to help women in wilderness seasons identify the many different ways, we attempt to manufacture our own hope. These leave us exhausted, disillusioned, and sitting in disappointment.

In this episode- we’re going there!

-do you turn to the faucet instead of the fountain?

-do you settle for a drip when you could have an endless supply?

-do you attempt to manufacture your own hope?

-do you operate in false self, aka “the flesh” or as the Greek say, “the sarx?”

Sunny opens up on her hesitation to reveal the first DUD because it is the one she wrestled with the most in her wilderness season…..

Our conversation centers around Self Help Culture.

-the exploitation of hope

-powered by adrenaline

-the brutal tyranny of our inner critic- self help is in bed with the bully in your head.

- Plus- a shift that leads to an invitation to the wide open spacious life where you can finally be WILDLY YOU.

Friend, let’s confront this HOPE DUD together and discover the beauty of the wilderness. Let's access the hope we have been saved for and leave the rest behind.
