In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Michael Sandler sits down with bestselling author and cell biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton to reveal how your beliefs, programming, and subconscious patterns literally shape your biology and your world.

Why do so many women feel guilty when they rest? I sit down with Elise Loehnen—New York Times bestselling author—to unpack the deep cultural and personal reasons women over-function, over-deliver, and burn themselves out. If you've ever felt like you have to earn rest or prove your worth through constant doing, this conversation is for you. We dive into the emotional and societal roots of rest guilt—why it feels “wrong” to slow down, even when you're exhausted. Elise shares how breaking her neck forced her to confront her own beliefs about being a “good woman” and why she realized that no one was actually demanding perfection from her… except herself. We also explore the difference between stories and facts, and how many of us live in exhausting stories about motherhood, ambition, money, and self-worth without even realizing it. Elise teaches us how to identify those narratives, trace where they came from, and consciously choose new ones that serve you. If you've struggled with performative motherhood, scarcity around money, resentment in your relationships, or comparing yourself to women online, Elise offers a compassionate, story-rich guide to healing. Her tools for turning envy into insight, fear into clarity, and busyness into boundaries are some of the most practical and powerful I've heard. You'll also hear: What performative labor looks like in motherhood and work—and how to stop How envy can reveal what you truly want Why women cancel themselves while men just keep going How to stop outsourcing your self-worth to productivity Why comparison, guilt, and burnout are often symptoms of deeper emotional patterns—and what to do instead Whether you're navigating motherhood, building a career, or simply trying to feel like you're “enough,” this episode is a warm and honest invitation to put down the pressure and pick up rest—not as a reward, but as your right.

With October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Monica unpacks the trauma-driven dynamics and layered complexities of unhealthy relationships—because violence isn't always physical.

Here's what she's getting into:

In this episode, Michael & Deborah-Anne Velthuysen uncover the spiritual roots of fear, why it grips so many prophets, and how you can step into peace and authority instead.

Why fear often strikes hardest right before a breakthrough. Practical and spiritual keys to conquering fear with faith.

The murder of Charlie Kirk has left America reeling. The response has been polarizing – and in many cases – has only deepened the divide between us.This week I'm joined by Christina Blacken, a behavior change expert and founder of The New Quo, for a conversation about three beliefs that are keeping all of us stuck - arguing within ourselves and with others, unable to connect and feeling totally powerless in the face of the divide. Rather than remain silent and fearful, Christina and I speak openly about our response and how you can find inner groundedness and wisdom even when you're triggered, fearful, or unsure what to do/say. This is about learning to show up for yourself no matter what the world looks like – having your own back and building from your values, even when others don't reciprocate or align. Living this way is not for the faint of heart. But it's also the key to inner freedom and deeper connection – especially with those who don't share your same beliefs. About Christina Blacken: Christina Blacken is a public speaker, performer, writer, and founder of The New Quo, a social impact and behavior change training company. She creates transformational workshops, events, and educational content in The New Quo Learning Community to address the trust and isolation epidemics we're experiencing in our organizations and communities.

Philippa Smethurst - a psychotherapist with decades of experience - has written this compassionate and practical guide to help you to understand, process and move beyond trauma.

Her aim is to make psychological information accessible and creative, particularly the more hidden and subtle aspects of trauma. "20 Ways to Break Free from Trauma", which she describes as a Trauma Kit for a general audience, was published by Jessica Kingsley in November 2024. The book has been endorsed by human rights advocate and trauma survivor Sir Terry Waite who has also written the foreword. Philippa has worked in the field of homelessness and has an interest in promoting the ideas on trauma gleaned from her study and long psychotherapy practice for trauma mitigation. She travels widely to talk about her book in webinars and in person at various institutions in UK including Oxford University, Edgehill University, Banbury Therapy Group and St Martin-in-the Fields, London.

This week at Venture, Pastor Brandon continued our Break Free series with a powerful message on overcoming the stronghold of shame. Shame has a way of paralyzing us—keeping us stuck in regret, guilt, and fear of what others think. But the good news of the gospel is this: in Christ, we are forgiven, washed, sanctified, and justified. Through passages in Isaiah, Joel, John 8, and 1 Corinthians 6, Pastor Brandon showed us how Jesus takes our shame upon Himself, restores what was lost, and declares us innocent before God. The story of the woman caught in adultery reminds us that where the world heaps condemnation, Jesus offers forgiveness and freedom.0:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Onlinesep 28th sermon text 2:23 – Prayer and introduction to Break Free seriessep 28th sermon text 3:26 – Recap of hidden sin and practical steps to overcomesep 28th sermon text 4:01 – What's the biggest mistake you've ever made?sep 28th sermon text 5:15 – A story of guilt, confession, and shamesep 28th sermon text 7:03 – Defining shame and how the enemy uses itsep 28th sermon text 9:36 – What the Bible says about shamesep 28th sermon text 12:03 – God forgets what we cannot forgetsep 28th sermon text 13:22 – Jesus takes our shame upon Himselfsep 28th sermon text 15:10 – The woman caught in adultery (John 8)sep 28th sermon text 18:25 – “Neither do I condemn you—go and sin no more”sep 28th sermon text 19:36 – Remember who you are: a child of Godsep 28th sermon text 22:09 – Without Jesus we are unworthy, but with Him we are forgivensep 28th sermon text 23:33 – Washed, sanctified, justifiedsep 28th sermon text 25:02 – How to break free from shamesep 28th sermon text 26:19 – Communion and reflectionsep 28th sermon text 32:35 – Worship response: leaving shame behindsep 28th sermon text
Escaping your comfort zone is more than a motivational phrase—it's a spiritual battle. In this sermon, The Hidden Trap Stealing Your Purpose (And How to Break Free), we uncover how the comfort zone can quietly paralyze believers, robbing them of their God-given identity and destiny. Through the stories of Sodom and Lot, and the bold faith of Abraham, this message reveals why comfort is never harmless, how compromise disguises itself, and what it takes to live with true purpose in Christ. You'll discover the dangers of spiritual laziness, the cost of looking back, and the power of bold obedience to God. If you've ever felt stuck, distracted, or uncertain about your calling, this word will equip you with the tools to break free and step into your divine purpose.
Everyone has some sort of relationship with money, but that relationship can become unhealthy and even toxic if it's not in check. How can we as Christians prevent ourselves from falling into the trap of loving money? Join us for a conversation.
"The single most important investment you can make right now is to invest in growing your capacity to be with fear."In this powerful conversation, nervous system practitioner Felix Wittmann joins host Jo to explore the hidden trap that high-achieving women often fall into: functional freeze. This episode will provide crucial insights into your nervous system health and stewarding your inner resources well.What You'll Learn:What functional freeze really is - and why it's different from the fight-or-flight response most people know aboutThe "gas and brake" phenomenon that keeps high achievers stuck in cycles of pushing and burning outTwo essential pillars for healing: capacity building and trauma resolutionPractical micro-adjustments you can make daily to build nervous system resilienceWhy relaxation techniques alone don't create lasting change (and what actually works)How faith and somatic work complement each other in building true inner stabilityThe autonomic nervous system as your body's threat detectorThree main nervous system states: social connection (green zone), fight/flight (orange zone), and shutdown (red zone)How past experiences create your nervous system's "database" of safety vs. dangerHow high achievers master external functioning while freezing their internal worldWhy your authentic needs get suppressed in service of productivity and successThe spectrum of functional freeze, from mild to severeCapacity Building: Learning to listen to your body's basic needs (thirst, movement, rest)Trauma Resolution: Completing interrupted nervous system activation cyclesThe importance of working with qualified somatic practitionersWhy healing happens in relationship, not isolationHow returning to faith provides an anchor during intense life seasonsThe difference between "spiritual bypassing" and grounded spiritual practiceBuilding capacity to serve faithfully without burning outGuest BioFelix is a nervous system practitioner and health coach who helps people break free from chronic symptoms by working with the body's innate intelligence.

The real you is getting frozen internally, and there's this fake you, the masks that we are talking about, that just exist and function.""Your nervous system isn't broken.

Are you tired of chasing symptoms and not finding real solutions for your health? In this episode, I sit down with Justin Maguire—biomedical scientist, holistic coach, and author of Responsive Living—to uncover how you can move beyond illness and step into lasting vitality. Justin shares his journey from “ex-hedonist turned healer” to building an integrative approach that blends science, nutrition, psychology, and spirituality. You'll learn why the medical system often fails chronically ill patients, how hidden factors like biofilms, toxins, and nervous system dysregulation keep you stuck, and the practical steps to restore balance. We also dive deep into the cell danger response, immune resilience, and how to support your body with enzymes, nutrition, and lifestyle to finally break free from the cycle of illness. If you've been struggling with chronic fatigue, long-haul symptoms, or just feel trapped in an “illness identity,” this conversation will give you hope, tools, and a fresh perspective on healing.

In this homily Fr. Edward Looney invites us to see where complacency has settled into our lives and encourages us to break free from that attitude.
Comfort zones feel safe—but they can kill your calling. In this powerful episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis challenges you to identify and break free from the counterfeit comforts holding you back from fully following Jesus. From Abraham leaving the familiar, to Peter stepping out of the boat, to the early church choosing boldness over safety—we see that God’s call always costs something. With a moving tribute to Charlie Kirk, a timely challenge for today’s culture, and a real-life story of costly obedience, Jon reminds us: Jesus didn’t die to make us comfortable. He died to make us dangerous to darkness. If you’re ready to stop playing it safe, surrender what’s keeping you stuck, and live the bold, uncommon life God designed you for—this episode will shake you out of casual Christianity and into courageous faith. Grab Jon’s new book I’ve Prayed the Prayer at TheUncommonChristian.com for a deeper dive into breaking free from cultural Christianity and stepping into real surrender.

“Resentment is like emotional cement. If it hardens, it clogs your flow.” Topics Discussed: Resentment in fertility struggles and IVF trauma Emotional burnout and subconscious patterns blocking pregnancy Partner resentment and navigating unequal fertility burdens Transforming resentment, grief, and anger into clarity and power “You cannot logic your way out of resentment. You have to feel it, name it, speak it.” Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here... Let's get real: resentment is that hot, heavy energy that creeps in when you've been holding it together for too long. It's the quiet rage when your partner doesn't “get it,” the sting when another woman gets pregnant doing all the wrong things, or the heartbreak of feeling like your body betrayed you. Resentment builds in silence, in over-giving, in minimizing your truth—and it will block your fertility just as much as poor egg quality or high cortisol. Resentment isn't just an emotion. It's an energy that hardens, clogs your flow, and eventually becomes a cellular issue—tight fascia, hormonal misfires, nervous system chaos. You can eat the kale and do the yoga, but if resentment is looping like an old VHS tape in your cells, your body won't feel safe to conceive. The only way through? Radical honesty, naming your truth, and alchemizing the pain into power. This is about cleaning up your emotional junk drawer before you step into motherhood. Because bitterness is not the inheritance your baby is calling for. Love, joy, presence—those are. So press play, get radically honest with yourself, and start shifting resentment into clarity, power, and a womb space that feels safe again. “Where have you swallowed your truth? That's where resentment is living.” Timestamps: 01:58 How resentment shows up toward partners and women who “have it easier” in their journey. 03:08 The resentment that shows up from feeling betrayed by your body and dismissed by the system. 04:25 How resentment hardens into disconnection and blocks conception. 06:05 The lonely truth of the fertility journey and how resentment impacts cellular health and hormones. 08:59 How to identify resentment, plus tools for alchemizing it into clarity and empowerment. “We're not carrying bitterness into motherhood. That's the old version of you.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/why-resentment-is-draining-your-fertility-energy-how-to-finally-break-free Let's Do This Together

This week, Jennifer Hadley explores how spiritual students can break free from the grip of anger and resentment that's consuming so many in today's world. Drawing from ACIM Lesson 122, "Forgiveness offers everything I want," she reveals how holding grievances literally blocks our ability to recognize our divine nature and keeps us trapped in suffering. Through her own breakthrough with family grievances, Jennifer demonstrates that true freedom comes not from getting others to pay for their wrongs, but from releasing our addiction to punishment itself.
