Welcome to the first episode of Habits of the Heart — a show for anyone who has ever known a truth deeply and still struggled to live it.
In this launch episode, Dr. Gabriela Grasso introduces the question behind the show: why is there such a gap between what we know and how we actually live? Drawing on Scripture, her years as a special education teacher and Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and her own ongoing walk of faith, Gabriela unpacks the meaning of a "Habit of the Heart," walks through a simple, memorable way to practice truth under pressure — getting T.R.U.E. — and introduces her signature framework: Spirit First. Mind Next. Body Follows.
This episode is about starting well: not with pressure to perform better, but with the truth that you already have the identity you're learning to live from.
In this episode:
Why knowing something isn't the same as living it
James 1:22 and the mirror that shows us the truth we walk away from
Romans 12:2 and why grace comes before transformation
