We recently connected with Peggy Easterling and have shared our conversation below.
Peggy, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. We’d love to hear about a risk you’ve taken.
Sometimes I take BIG risks, and I do it sweaty!
As I soaked in a powerful message from Cliff Ravenscraft something stirred within me—a spark that ignited a life-altering decision. I had already resolved to dive headfirst into the world of online entrepreneurship and create a thriving virtual community—the Mindset School. Little did I know, this bold choice would set the course for an incredible adventure.
But, oh boy, it wasn’t all smooth sailing! Far from it. Imagine my nervous excitement as I typed out a request to Cliff Ravenscraft, asking him to be a guest on my yet-to-be-launched (or even thought through) podcast. Fear pulsed through my veins. My heart raced, my voice quivered, but I knew this was a necessary step of faith that I sensed deeply that God was leading me to.
Leveraging my background in psychology and unwavering faith, I recognized that our brains resist change, preferring the familiar. Yet, I also understood that true transformation demanded action in the face of fear. Guided by 2 Corinthians 10:5, I embraced the challenge, boldly venturing into uncharted territory.
Through this journey, “do it sweaty” became my motto—a reminder to keep moving forward despite fear’s grip. I plunged into the world of podcasting, learning the ropes one step at a time. From conquering the fear of hearing my own voice to mastering podcast hosting, I persevered through countless mindset hurdles.
Today, I proudly host a thriving podcast with over 1600 downloads and nearly 40 episodes. My show empowers women to conquer their deepest mindset struggles and experience the transformative power of aligning their minds with God’s plan.
Peggy helps women embrace the fearless spirit within to embark on their own journey toward lasting transformation. She wants you to engage, connect, and embark on your own journey to transformation to renew your mind and take the next bold steps that God is calling you to.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

My Background and Services
Rooted in Christian learning and psychology, I proudly hold a Summa Cum Laude Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Liberty University. While my early career saw me navigating the world of corporate management, my heart yearned for a more profound purpose — one that involved helping others conquer their inner battles and discover the true essence of life.
The turning point arrived when I embarked on an internship at a 12-step program within my local church. In this sacred space, I confronted my own internal struggles, stemming from hidden childhood trauma that had cast shadows over my life and relationships for far too long. It was in this transformative encounter with God that I found liberation, breaking free from the chains of self-protection and igniting a passion to guide others on their own journeys towards enlightenment.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
One of the most profound lessons I had to unlearn was the belief that suppressing emotions, hiding behind walls, and pretending everything is okay was the way to navigate life. The backstory to this lesson is deeply personal and stems from my experience of childhood sexual abuse.
Growing up, I faced significant trauma and abuse that left me emotionally scarred. In an attempt to protect myself from the pain and vulnerability of those experiences, I learned to suppress my emotions. I built walls around my heart and wore masks that portrayed an image of strength and resilience.
For years, I convinced myself that this was the only way to survive, that I had to pretend everything was okay. I believed that by burying my emotions and pretending everything was fine, I was somehow doing the right thing and protecting not only myself but everyone around me. But the truth is, I was living a life of self-deception, and the pain from my past continued to haunt me, affecting every aspect of and every relationship in my life.
It wasn’t until I had a transformative encounter with God, that I realized the power of intentional thinking and the need to renew my mind. I came to understand that suppressing emotions and hiding behind walls and masks was not the way to live. Instead, I needed to confront my past, acknowledge my emotions, and choose my thoughts intentionally.
Renewing my mind, as God intended, became the key to overcoming my mindset challenges. I learned that by reframing my story and choosing to see it through the lens of faith and healing, I could break free from the chains that had bound me for so long. This lesson reshaped not only my life but also my approach to helping others navigate their own challenges.
The lesson I unlearned was that vulnerability is not weakness; it’s a path to strength and healing. By choosing our thoughts and intentionally renewing our minds, as instructed in 2 Corinthians 10:5, we can overcome even the most daunting mindset challenges and live a life of authenticity and purpose.”
I learned the power of our testimony and allowing community into our lives rather than self-protecting in isolation. Unlearning isolation and self-protection is crutial to renew the mindset for life change.
If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?
I am exactly where I want to be and would not change a thing about this career path of helping women look forward. Every experience, every challenge, and every triumph has shaped me into the person I am today. It’s a privilege to walk alongside women on their journeys of transformation and empowerment. This is not just a profession; it’s a calling, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
