The Letter that Changes Everything: A Message from Your Future Self
Jun 18, 2025
Nelieta Hollis

What if your future self could send you a letter of encouragement right now? What would they tell you about the life you're building and the choices you're making today?

This episode opens with a powerful visualization—a letter from your five-year future self who's living in a home filled with light and love, enjoying financial stability, thriving relationships, and genuine peace. They want you to know that every hard choice you're making right now matters. Every boundary you're holding and every tear you're crying in silence is building that beautiful future. You are not failing; you are becoming.

After returning to the microphone following a break, I dive deep into the deceptive nature of complacency—that dangerous comfort with the status quo that tells us everything is fine just as it is. This comfort zone has become a prison for many single mothers navigating family traumas, keeping us trapped in toxic relationships, financial struggles, and limiting beliefs.

The truth is that your potential for the future you imagine is far greater than your current circumstances might suggest. Growth doesn't require you to feel ready—it simply requires you to begin. Even in the middle of trauma, even in survival mode, you can make one small change that sets in motion a cascade of positive transformations.

When your fears speak up, your future self has answers: When you say "I'm afraid," she says "be willing to try." When you say "I don't know which way to go," she simply says "forward." The enemy of your future isn't failure—it's complacency.

I pray that the roots of setbacks, storms, satanic attacks, and even self-sabotage erode, crumble, and wither away, to be replaced by the incorruptible strength, peace, and joy that only heaven can give that will neither change nor fade.
