When I got married, I made the choice I thought you had to make: take birth control... and it took me years to dig myself out of the hole that it put me in! Welcome to the first episode of my THIRD season of Be Whole. Be Well.

Are unhealthy boundaries pointing to the root of your health issues? Listen as Lauren Early, MA, LPCC and I unpack the myths (“lies”) around boundaries and the truth that God tells us about them in our lives. Lie #1: Jesus gave of Himself sacrificially, therefore I'm also supposed to give my resources, time, and energy without restraint.Lie #2:  I am supposed to love everyone, so I can't confront or acknowledge a boundary issue.Lie #3: I have to forgive, which means allowing this person “in” again.Let's look at how Jesus modeled boundaries and take steps together towards caring and serving for one another in a safe, emotionally connected way. “A boundary-less life becomes a hurried life. A hurried life becomes a stressed-out life. A stressed-out life squeezes everything of importance out AND it begins to change and affect our nervous system and ultimately our health. An unhealthy life leads to one that cannot pursue the God-given dreams that God has put inside of you.”—Shelly TylerShare this one with a friend, so you can grow together!Meet Lauren: Lauren Early is a Licensed Clinical Counselor who specializes in marriage and relationships.  She has significant training and experience in evidenced based interventions that focus on healthy communication and authentic connection.

Learn to build resiliency by: Accepting the unchangeable, Adjusting to the obstacles,Abiding with patience, &Affirming the Presence.About our Guest: Sarah R DeLoach, MSW, LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices Clinical Counseling and other Therapeutic Supports in private practice in Owensboro, KY.

If you are a Christian stuck in chronic pain, depression, and anxiety induced by a lifestyle of chronic stress, you are not alone. Today we are talking about your innate design to heal and three things your nervous system needs to function well that you may not immediately think about. This topic was introduced at our recent Women's Health Summit, RESTORE, and let me tell you, we absolutely cannot set the foundation for this scientific and Biblical teaching enough about stress-induced illness. Thank you for joining me for the first episode of Be Whole. Be Well. Be Wise, the show that combines science-based AND Bible-based education to direct you towards whole-body wellness in Christ.
