What if your best business strategy wasn’t in your inbox—but on the treadmill? In this powerful episode, Stacey dives into part two of her performance mini-series, exploring the connection between movement and long-term business success. Whether you’re a self-confessed couch potato or an ex-dancer like Stacey, you’ll walk away feeling motivated (and maybe even a little sweaty) to move your body in a way that works for you. You’ll learn: ✨ Why Stacey’s mantra for 2025 is “Body Before Business”—and what’s changed because of it✨ How movement can regulate your nervous system and boost your resilience✨ The unexpected link between your Peloton session and business clarity✨ Why “sweating solo” is totally valid (no group classes required!)✨ What to do on the hard days when walking the dogs is the only thing keeping you afloat This episode isn’t about shame or pressure—it’s about encouragement. Stacey gets honest about her own struggles with consistency and shares the mindset shift that finally made movement a non-negotiable part of her leadership.

In the first episode of a new three-part mini-series on peak performance, Stacey takes us straight to the source of it all: your mind. Because if your head isn’t in the game, your business, your team, and your life will feel it. This is more than mindset fluff—it’s a call to take radical responsibility for your own mental wellbeing and leadership capacity. You’ll learn: ✨ Why emotional fitness is just as critical as strategy for business growth✨ The power of pre-built systems for wellbeing (especially in stormy seasons)✨ What Stacey’s learned from therapy, leadership coaching, and the “itty bitty shitty committee” in her head✨ Why professional development directly correlates with business revenue (and how to spot the gaps)✨ Practical ideas for tuning out the noise and tuning in to your true potential Whether you're on the floor with Lego thinking about client emails, or navigating brain fog while leading a team, this episode reminds you: your mind is your most powerful business tool.
This book was foundational to my personal development, and I hope you'll find it equally as useful. A researcher, storyteller from the University of Houston in Texas, Brené Brown helped me to see how shame and vulnerability have run rampant through my life and upended my sense of belonging. She also helped me to accept this very human part of myself, and work with it in a healthy way. Today, we set the table for the ten guideposts she outlines in the chapters to come. The ten guideposts support what she calls “wholehearted living.” I hope you'll read along with it all as we go. This is tender work folks. Brené's got a lovely mantra that can help: “Stay awkward, brave, and kind.” I hope you'll keep that in mind as we dig in.I hope you enjoy this episode.

When it comes to our past, all roads lead to avoidance or acceptance — and we need to accept. Brene Brown says, ‘Owning our story can be hard, but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. That's a race you can't win.' Don't put your energy into your history; put your energy into your destiny.You Got This, Ryan
Let's get real about boredom, especially when you're taking a break from alcohol.In this week's episode, I'm unpacking why “I'm bored” can feel shamey, why stillness can spike dread for trauma survivors and neurodivergent brains, and how comparison pours petrol on the fire. We talk Peter Levine, Internal Family Systems, Kristin Neff, Tara Brach, and Brene Brown, but keep it super practical for real life. If “busy” has been your personality, this one's a deep exhale and a warm reminder that you're not broken; you're human. What we cover: The sneaky origins of boredom shame from childhood and why it sticks. Boredom ≠ lack of stimulation for trauma survivors and ND folks, it's the threat of being with ourselves. The “second arrow” of self-judgment and how it multiplies pain. Why our nervous system sometimes tries to discharge stored stress in the quiet. How neurodivergent masking leads to crash cycles, comparison, and coping. Practical reframes: becoming the observer, stopping the second arrow, and meeting real needs. Radical acceptance and the beauty of a “nice little life.” Small, doable ways to build capacity for stillness without reaching for a drink. Listen if: You're alcohol-free or AF-curious, you identify as “always busy,” or you're tired of comparing your Tuesday to someone else's highlight reel.

There's a kind of faith that performs instead of worships, and eventually, that kind of faith breaks down. This week on Win Today, Paul and Hannah McClure from Bethel Music join me to talk about the slow drift from softness to cynicism in the life of a believer. We talk about the orphan spirit, fake faith that looks right but can't hold weight, and how disappointment left untreated eventually hardens into disconnection. We also confront the myth that faith equals certainty, and why true worship isn't just a song; it's surrender in the absence of clarity. For anyone who's battled disillusionment in church, questioned the language of worship, or wondered whether they're singing words they don't believe anymore, this conversation offers both confrontation and comfort. Paul and Hannah don't sugarcoat the road. But they do point to healing. This isn't about emotional hype. It's about reclaiming your heart before it turns cold. You'll learn: Why disappointment often precedes cynicism What the orphan spirit really is—and how it forms How fake faith is often learned, not chosen Why worship without surrender is just noise How to walk with God when certainty disappears Guest Bio Paul and Hannah McClure are worship leaders, songwriters, and pastors with Bethel Music. Known for their vulnerability, depth, and refusal to perform, their ministry helps people reconnect with a God who isn't afraid of pain. They've led a generation to encounter God through honesty, not hype. Their story is one of surrender, resilience, and the long journey back from burnout, cynicism, and emotional numbness.

Join us as we explore the journey of Connie Warden, a local author and acupuncturist from Littleton, Colorado, who has recently published a book that bridges her personal experiences with her professional wisdom. In our conversation, Connie shares her path from discovering yoga at a young age to mastering oriental medicine and embracing indigenous cultures. She reveals a pivotal moment on the road that highlighted a gap between her personal values and actions, leading her to emphasize the importance of self-awareness in everyday situations. Listen in as Connie discusses how aligning actions with beliefs can turn mundane experiences into opportunities for personal growth. We also touch on the power of choosing courage over negativity by sharing personal anecdotes and insights from thought leaders like Brene Brown. Through stories from her time at OsteoStrong, we explore how adopting a compassionate perspective can enhance personal peace and interactions with others. The episode concludes with practical ways to connect with Connie, including her social media presence and special offers for listeners. We celebrate her journey in publishing and the impact her work has on readers' lives, all while highlighting the broader theme of learning through activities and sports that challenge our internal narratives.

There's a way to sound spiritually mature while staying completely unformed, and therapy culture is helping people do just that. This week on Win Today, Matt Chandler joins us to confront the drift we're experiencing: where therapy culture replaces repentance, where identity confusion isn't grieved, and where safe Christian jargon sounds right but does nothing to transform the soul. We talk about why discipleship doesn't always feel safe. Why comfort doesn't heal—it sedates. And how complaining isn't just venting; it's forming your view of God. Matt names the thin theology that's left people chasing emotional relief instead of spiritual formation. This conversation doesn't throw stones at therapy. But it does confront what happens when comfort becomes your gospel and language becomes your liturgy. If you've traded formation for slogans, been discipled more by feelings than by truth, or confused Christian language with actual obedience, this conversation isn't just timely—it's necessary.

Today I'm opening up about the struggles I've faced recently and how they've forced me to pause and take much needed time for myself. I've been very quiet about it until now, and if I'm honest, rather hollow feeling, trying to find my footing. Sometimes we have so much noise in our own heads that we can't make sense of the day to day, until something breaks and we are forced to slow down. I share my own thoughts about this journey in the hopes that others will realize they are not alone, and that taking time off to heal is not a sign of weakness, but of strength.

We want God to come through, but on our terms. We demand ease, favor, instant breakthrough, and validation, and when those expectations aren't met, we call it a trial. But what if the real trial is our refusal to lay down our entitlement? This week on Win Today, bestselling author Gary Thomas pulls no punches. He exposes the modern lie that faith means personal fulfillment, that comfort means favor, and that hardship means failure. And he shows how distraction is more than a bad habit—it's a spiritual breakdown. Because when the soul loses its focus, bitterness, offense, and relational dysfunction are not far behind. If you've ever felt spiritually entitled, subtly bitter, or confused about why you're still offended by things you “moved past,” this conversation is for you.

This week, we're hitting pause on our usual business chat to dive into something just as important—and something that’s been coming up in nearly every coaching session lately: menopause and perimenopause. If you’ve been feeling hot, bothered, foggy, emotional, or just not like yourself lately, this one’s for you. Stacey is joined by two phenomenal women—Susan Judd from HR Culture and Alli Garison from Embodied Freedom—for a raw, empowering, and often hilarious chat about what it’s really like to lead, work, and live through this transition. In this deeply relatable episode, you’ll hear: ✨ The emotional impact of menopause in leadership and the workplace✨ Why so many women are stepping back—or out—of opportunities at the height of their careers✨ What the “hot, foggy and fabulous” research reveals about how women are really feeling✨ Practical tools to support your team, your clients, and yourself through this phase✨ And why we’re taking the doors off the hinges when it comes to talking about it Plus, we’ll give you the scoop on our upcoming Hot & Bothered live event—because if you’re going through it, you don’t have to go through it alone.
If you’re not navigating your life through your values, what are you using?
You think you're burned out, but what if you're actually just emotionally disconnected? What if your body is paying the price for unprocessed emotions you never gave yourself permission to feel? In today's episode of Win Today, married theologians and counselors Geoff and Cyd Holsclaw debunk the myths surrounding burnout, spiritual bypassing, and superficial healing. We're talking about what's really going on beneath the surface of emotional shutdown, how insecure attachment shows up in adult faith, and why your “soul senses” need to be reawakened if you want to actually experience wholeness. This isn't about self-help. This is about becoming whole—from the inside out. If you've ever been told to “just push through” or have spiritualized your pain away, this conversation is going to hit you like a defibrillator.

What if the deepest work God does in us happens when no one sees? When we feel forgotten, disillusioned, or unsure if our faith is still intact? Most of us would rather skip the wilderness. But what if the desert isn't punishment—it's preparation? This week on Win Today, international recording artist Evan Craft joins us for a raw and honest conversation about faith in the silence, finding God in the dark night of the soul, and what it means to serve when no one applauds. Together, we confront the cynicism that creeps in when life feels unfair, the pressure to perform for spiritual approval, and the questions we rarely admit we're asking, especially when God doesn't move how we expected. If you've ever felt forgotten by God or frustrated with the silence, this episode is for you. Episode Links Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

Send us a textWhat happens when the warning signals from our bodies become so normalized that we fail to recognize them as distress calls? After experiencing a sudden atrial fibrillation episode that landed me in the emergency room, doctors asked the question that haunted me: "Why did you wait so long to seek help?" The answer was both simple and profound – I had been ignoring my body's desperate attempts to complete stress cycles that had accumulated over the years.This deeply personal episode explores the science behind stress cycles and explains why completing them is essential for our overall well-being. Drawing on Emily and Amelia Nagoski's groundbreaking work, I explain that stress isn't just a feeling, but a physiological cycle with distinct phases that must reach a state of completion. When we continuously interrupt this natural process, moving from one stressor to the next without allowing our bodies to process and release, we remain in a state of hypervigilance that takes a devastating toll on our physical and mental health.Whether you're feeling the early warning signs of burnout or want to develop healthier rhythms, this episode offers seven practical strategies to complete stress cycles and return to a state of flourishing.

We say we want transformation, but often we create environments that protect people from pain instead of preparing them for growth. In the process, we enable spiritual stagnation, emotional fragility, and shallow discipleship. This week on Win Today, Katie Davis Majors exposes the hidden dangers of well-meaning empathy, the false security of “safe spaces,” and the clichés that erode authentic faith. In this conversation, we'll also tackle how to live faithfully in the tension between what God has promised and what we see right now. If you've ever found yourself numbing pain instead of processing it, or if you've settled for comfort instead of maturity, this conversation will challenge you to grow, even when it costs you.

In 1987, John O'Leary was a curious nine-year-old boy. Playing with fire and gasoline, John created a massive explosion in his home and was burned on 100% of his body. He was given less than a 1% chance to live. This epic story of survival was first showcased in Overwhelming Odds, the book his parents wrote in 2006. It was this book that first invited John to embrace his miraculous recovery and share it with the world. Today, John inspires tens of thousands of people at more than 100 live and virtual events each year. He partners with companies and organizations across fields, such as: sales, healthcare, safety, marketing, finance, faith, education and insurance. Consistently described as “the best speaker we've ever had,” John's tireless schedule is a testament to the power of his message. His emotional storytelling, unexpected humor and authenticity make each presentation unforgettable. John is a two-time bestselling author of On Fire: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life and In Awe: Rediscover Your Childlike Wonder to Unleash Inspiration, Meaning and Joy.

SOUL ON FIRE will be release in theaters nationwide on October 10, 2025. Regardless of his professional accomplishments, John considers his greatest success to be his marriage to his wife Beth, their four children and his relationships with friends and family.

We all want to overcome, but too often, we curate our pain out of view—tidy it up, slap a spiritual platitude on top, and hope time heals what we never confronted. This week on Win Today, ESPN's Lauren Sisler reveals what happened when her life fell apart at 18. She buried both of her parents just hours apart. And in the wake of that trauma, she didn't get a “hall pass” from grief. She didn't get a spiritual fast-forward button. She had to live every moment of it, raw and real. In this powerful conversation, we take on the lies of “rah-rah Christianity,” the armor of image management, and the emotional expense of avoidance. If you've ever wondered why God didn't spare you from the pain… or why it still lingers even though you “moved on,” this episode will meet you where you really live.

There's a kind of rest that is still ravenous, and comfort alone is costing your soul more than you think. This week on Win Today, Tim Timberlake joins me to name the central lie of our era: that convenience equals progress. God rarely fits into the narrative designed by self‑help culture, and grief is rarely the speed bump we're told. When breakthrough is packaged and delivered, it disconnects you from the transformative power of pain. Tim unpacks why immediate comfort doesn't heal—it anesthetizes. Why rushing through grief doesn't preserve strength—it fractures your future. And why so many believers craft manufactured breakthroughs that collapse when real life tests them. If your fast-track faith feels flat…if comfort makes you morally weaker…or if you've chased progress more than presence, this episode confronts the real cost, and invites deeper formation.

There's a humility you carry like baggage, and it's slowly wearing you down. This week, Dr. Les Parrott and Judah Smith join me to dismantle the false humility that masquerades as godliness while laundering shame. Humility becomes self-hatred when vulnerability is avoided and spiritual high-mindedness is mistaken for healing. Layer on top the epidemic of spiritual bypassing—pretending everything is okay—and you get a reluctance to ever speak pain. We unpack why your job is not to heal publicly, how real accountability looks different than performance, and why refusing to stay in the box of pretense is the most subversive spiritual act you can commit. Whether you've preached from the platform or hidden behind faith walls, this episode cuts through your shame fortress and lights a path to emotional and spiritual freedom.

There's a lie you've turned into identity—that you must perform vulnerability to earn belonging. This week, Toni Collier joins me to pull the veil off emotional infidelity hidden in silence, the orphan wounds we carry in isolation, and the spiritual manipulation we excuse as authenticity. She's walked through heartbreaking betrayal, spiritual misuse, and the long deconstruction of self‑worth in ministry circles. And she has found that true vulnerability isn't performative—it's sacred, grounded, sacrificial, and healing. In this episode, we dismantle the theology of emotional scarcity, expose spiritual control disguised as care, and confront the cost of emotional isolation. Toni challenges common assumptions: that therapy alone solves trauma, that forgiveness equals denial, that age or faith automatically heals wounds. This conversation calls you home to integrity, community, and emotional wholeness. Episode Links Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

How can we know if we're getting it right when it comes to meeting others with empathy? “Empathy is a tool of compassion,” writes Brene Brown. “We can respond empathically only if we are willing to be present to someone's pain. If we're not willing to do that, it's not real empathy.” We're living now in a time and society where people actually talk about the sin of empathy. But for followers of Jesus—charged to mourn with and comfort others—how can being present to someone else's pain ever wear the title of “sin?” In Episode 229, Cynthia and Susan take on empathy, exploring this hot-button word and a few of the familiar ideas related to it.
