Why She Left 22 Years of Yoga and New Age Spirituality Behind with Dr. Laurette Willis
In this episode of The Dr. T Show, Dr. T welcomes Dr. Laurette Willis, a Christian mind coach, author, and founder of PraiseMoves. Dr. Willis shares her personal journey from childhood involvement in yoga, New Age spirituality, addiction, and emotional eating to a life of faith, recovery, and ministry. Their conversation centers on the belief that past pain, mistakes, and struggles do not have to define a person. Instead, they can become part of a testimony that encourages others. Dr. T and Dr. Willis discuss releasing shame, guilt, fear, and the “would’ve” and “should’ve” mindset, trusting that God can redeem difficult experiences for good. [1]Dr. Willis introduces the idea of “naming the mountain”—identifying the recurring obstacle or thought pattern that keeps a person stuck—then replacing negative self-talk with truth, taking a faith-filled step forward, and continuing in that practice over time.[2] She also shares a practical, Scripture-centered exercise intended to help interrupt cravings and redirect the mind toward healthier choices.[3]The episode closes with a call to become an encourager: strengthening both our own hearts and the hearts of others through faith, truthful self-talk, obedience, and trust in God’s direction. Footnotes 1] Themes referenced include God’s ability to work all things for good and the power of personal testimony. See Romans 8:28 and Revelation 12:11. [2] Dr. Willis’s “mountain” framework draws on Deuteronomy 2:3: “You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north.” [3] The exercise shared in the episode references 1 Corinthians 6:12: “I will not be brought under the power of any.”[4] Dr. Willis mentions resources including Christian Weight Loss Kit, Christian Meditation Kit, the Five Day Wisdom Challenge, and PraiseMoves.
