440: Stop Being Triggered! Rita Springer on The Link Between Obedience and Your Mental Health, and the Stories Keeping You Stuck

Podcast · May 14, 2025

We’ve called it emotional intelligence. We’ve called it self-awareness. But what if the story you’re telling yourself—the one you rehearse in your head day after day—isn’t making you healthier? It’s keeping you sick. This week, Rita Springer joins Win Today for an unfiltered, emotionally disruptive conversation about the link between obedience and mental health. Because here’s the truth: peace doesn’t come from managing your anxiety better. Peace comes from surrender. And when we treat obedience like a suggestion instead of a lifeline, we stay stuck in cycles of emotional chaos, calling it healing when it’s really avoidance.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

  • Why obedience isn’t just spiritual—it’s neurological
  • How the false stories you tell yourself hijack your peace
  • What it costs to stop performing and start surrendering
  • Why we stay “triggered” as a way to stay in control
  • And how to reframe obedience as the pathway to emotional maturity

This is a call to grow up. A call to lay down false narratives. And a call to trade emotional chaos for rooted peace.
