You vs Mind

Nothing is better than hearing wise words from a down to earth, experienced, humble person. And that is exactly what is in this weeks episode. My dad, a long time educator and school guidance counselor, helps shape out some strategies and advice for young people going back to school by using his own experience and his "outside the book" practices he has found helpful. Hope you enjoy. And don't let school own you! You are in control and don't forget about what is important in life outside of the classroom. God Bless.

Letting someone else help you in the journey to win back your mind can be a very vulnerable, yet relieving journey. In this episode we discuss what it looks like to come alongside someone with anxiety, listening to their needs, and learning what their needs are. Using examples from our own relationship while also looking at Jesus' ministry on earth, we hope listeners will find encouragement in realizing they do not have to walk this journey alone, and being compassionate towards others looking for someone to help carry the load.

After taking a break for the 4th of July, we are back with another episode! Something that has plagued us all, and especially the younger generation in recent years, has been the increase in entertainment and social media. With constant amounts of information being fed to us daily, we are continuously having to not only process the information, but all the emotions it brings with it. In this episode we tackle what it looks like to fight this information and what it looks like to engage in social media responsibly. It's not always an easy task and something we all fight, but it can be an area of our lives we seek to implement good habits in order to reduce our daily worries, and improve our quality of relationships.

When we reach a successful point in our lives, or an event we live through that gives us a euphoric high, a lot of times we can dwell on that moment without realizing that it is keeping us from moving forward in life. The same can be true for failures, or negative situations. On this episode, we dive into what it looks like to move on from success and to live in the present moment. Not running ahead, or staying stuck in the past, but rather focusing our mental and spiritual energy on the areas of our life that truly matter, while trusting God through both the blessings and hardships of life.

When battling anxiety it can be easy to be handed tools and strategies and then feel like nothing is working, when setbacks in anxious behavior or panic attacks occur. In this episode we have a discussion on what it looks like to acknowledge that setbacks are a part of the journey. Just as an athlete watches film to improve their performance, we dive into what it looks like to notice triggers, thought patterns, and behaviors to not only play defense when anxiety rears its ugly head, but also how to equip our minds for offense when it's time to take charge over our minds.

In part three of our Self Care series we talk about the greatest form of self-care possible... Jesus. This is where true freedom is found.

So join us, and invest in the best form of self-care. God Bless.

Ok so self-indulgence isn't true self-care, then what should you do instead? Well, this week we dive into the first three ways to foster deep restoring, biblical self care. Through looking at the ministry of Jesus, and how he lived his life on earth, we will discuss ways to imitate the example he set for us, and lead to deeper understanding of what it looks like to restore the mind and body.

Self-Care is a vital part of our lives, when living in the world we live in, I feel like sometimes we forget that we are human. In this episode Isabelle and I share our thoughts on how this should be approached. Society seems to have turned "self-care" into "self-indulgence". While doing the things we love or eating the things we like is fine, a balance has to be accomplished if we want to reach our peak potential. You'll see what I mean... take a listen and hope you enjoy. God Bless.

We are all told the cliche statement, "Find Your Purpose" but often times these conversations leave us anxious as we seek to find what will fulfill us in life. In this episode, we explore the foundations of our purpose, and how we can leverage our understanding of it to cultivate creativity, spark enjoyment for life, and build closer relationships with the people around us. Our purpose should not be a source of anxiety, but rather a source of empowerment for our lives.
