From Head Knowledge to Freedom: Gwen’s Journey Through TIS Episode 55
Manage episode 483731063 series 3555418
We’ve got a special guest on the podcast this week— the lovely Gwen, a member of The Intentional Single who joined our 6-month journey after following us from afar.
When Gwen first heard about TIS, she was skeptical. Raised in a devout Catholic family and surrounded by 6 sisters, she already had access to wisdom and support. “I just thought, ‘I know this stuff. Is this really going to work for me?’” But something still felt stuck. So she listened to the podcast. Again. And again.
What she found in TIS wasn’t a formula. It wasn’t a five-step dating plan. It was integration. “I had all the head knowledge. But I didn’t know how to live it.”
Through coaching, Gwen learned how to process her emotions instead of moralizing or suppressing them. She stopped agonizing over every decision and began moving forward with hope. “I used to spend two years wondering about one guy. This year, I’ve gone on 20+ dates—without spiraling.”
For Gwen, the transformation didn’t come from more information. It came from slowing down, finding safety in community, and allowing coaching to help her reconnect with her God-given wisdom.
“I used to think coaching was about someone telling me what to think. Now I see it’s about being seen—and challenged—to think with God.”
Now, Gwen is not just thriving in her vocation as a teacher—but flourishing in her faith, friendships, and her relationship with herself.
“This isn’t just about dating. It’s about not moralizing every moment and choosing to live in freedom.”
Gwen’s story is a reminder that your healing doesn’t have to be heavy—and that saying yes to growth might be the bravest thing you do.
“Even as someone who’s deeply emotional, I didn’t realize how much more there was to learn. TIS took me deeper than any therapy or book ever did.”
“Signing up for TIS was a big deal. I was prideful. I thought I already knew everything. But this? This changed how I live.”
If you’ve been thinking about joining us inside TIS, this episode is for you.
