Full Shownotes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/bluelighttruth In this episode, Matt Maruca, CEO and co-founder of Ra Optics, dives deep into the science and practical realities of blue light, circadian health, and optimizing your environment for better sleep and longevity. We tackle the nuances of blue light exposure from sunlight versus artificial sources, break down how proper blue light-blocking glasses can support melatonin production and overall wellness, and bust common myths—including those from recent documentaries and reviews. Along the way, Matt shares updates on the latest lens technology, why not all blue blockers are created equal, and the future of lighting and color therapy for health. Matt Maruca is the founder & CEO of Ra Optics, the leader in premium blue light protection eyewear. Matt founded Ra Optics after a decade-long journey to improve his own chronic health issues as a child and teenager. As he looked further, he came across the science of mitochondria, circadian rhythms, and how light influences these factors—playing an essential, but overlooked, role in our health and well-being. He became fascinated by entrepreneurship, and decided that he could use the in-formation that helped him to help others. Matt also created The Light Diet, a diet that directly addresses the root of the modern, chronic disease epidemic and mitochondrial dysfunction. Matt now spends his time traveling the world, studying and teaching about the relevance of light in human health cycles with a focus on reversing this situation, as well as integrating science with ancient Eastern wisdom.

Have you ever walked through a hard season and realized afterward that it changed you?After five years of podcasting — first as Family Success Secrets, then as Her Home and Heart — this show is entering its clearest season yet.In this episode, I'm sharing why the name is officially changing to Simplifying Mom Life, what this next chapter means, and how last year's intense “endurance season” clarified what moms truly need.This isn't a new direction.It's a clearer one.If you've been strong for a long time…If you've been carrying more than you ever expected…If you've wondered how to move from survival mode into something steadier…This episode is for you.We're simplifying — together.Until next time, it's not about doing it all. It's about doing the small things with great love.Quick favor:If you'd like to share what feels heavy in your life right now, and potentially have me create an episode for you, I created a short questionnaire to help guide future episodes.As a thank you, anyone who fills it out will be entered into a drawing for a copy of my Movie Schooling book at the end of the semester.(Email is optional — only needed if you want to be entered to win.)https://forms.gle/xcgmPWHDqnDbeRYU6XOXO,KatieWould you like to bless and support this show?

Welcome to The Calm & Happy Home Podcast!This week, I'm talking about the Lunar New Year, the shift into the Year of the Horse, and the myths that tend to create more fear than flow at this time of year.If you've been feeling unsettled, emotional, energised one minute and completely drained the next, you are not imagining it. We're moving through a powerful transition point. The solar feng shui new year has already shifted the energetic blueprint of our homes, and now the Lunar New Year brings the emotional and collective reset.This episode is about understanding what's actually happening, why February can feel like a threshold month, and how to work with this energy rather than pushing against it.Inside this episode, I'm talking about:Why early February can feel intense, reactive or overstimulatingThe difference between the solar new year and the Lunar New YearWhy the Year of the Horse is about aligned momentum, not frantic actionThe importance of preparation before paceThe symbolism behind common Lunar New Year mythsWhether you really can clean, wash your hair or cut itWhy arguments, money and broken plates are more about intention than superstitionHow beginnings imprint your nervous system for the year aheadWhy boundaries and energy protection matter more than ever right nowHow to strengthen your foundations before March brings more movementThis is your reminder that these traditions are not about superstition or getting it wrong. They are about consciousness. They are about recognising that beginnings matter and that how you show up emotionally and physically at the start of a cycle carries forward.You can buy The Calm and Happy Home now:Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books-A-Million | Indigo | Watkins Publishing Join the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleySo much love, Kimberley xxA bespoke analysis of your home to unlock the exact remedies your living space needs to support you in a life of more abundance and prosperity: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/home-analysis-serviceWork with me 1 to 1 here!If you loved this episode don't forget to subscribe, leave a 5* review on Apple Podcasts and tag me in your stories on Instagram @thefengshuiflow! xx Hosted on Acast.

Markets may feel calm despite geopolitical noise, but uncertainty is the permanent condition of investing—and the price of admission for higher returns. Don and Tom unpack Jason Zweig's reminder that investors hate uncertainty (tough), discuss the surge in speculation from leveraged ETFs to prediction markets, and explain why “play money” accounts should stay small. They field listener questions on building an investment policy statement, rebalancing without sabotaging returns, simplifying overly complex ETF portfolios, choosing international small-cap exposure, and setting up custodial accounts (with a nod to Roth IRAs for working teens). The core message: take only the risk you need, not the risk your inner con man wants. 0:00 The podcast that never ends; investors hate uncertainty 1:19 Jason Zweig revisits 2008 and the permanence of market uncertainty 3:16 Calm markets, speculative behavior, and the rise of prediction markets 6:00 “Play money” accounts and the danger of confusing gambling with investing 8:18 Take the risk you need—not the risk you want 9:05 Writing down how you feel during downturns 11:51 Listener question: Rebalancing and creating an Investment Policy Statement 17:09 25-year-old portfolio review: Too much complexity, wrong tilts 20:27 International small-cap choice: AVDV vs. AVDS 23:26 Custodial accounts for teens and the Roth IRA opportunity 26:10 RetireMeet 2026 promotion and event details Learn more about your ad choices.

How do you calm anxiety after being cheated on—when your mind won't shut off and your body never feels safe? If betrayal has left you anxious, hypervigilant, and emotionally exhausted, this episode will help you understand why—and what actually works to calm your nervous system. After infidelity, anxiety isn't a lack of faith or self-control. It's your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight. In this episode of Beauty Beyond Betrayal, we explore the neuroscience behind post-betrayal anxiety and why regulation must come before reasoning if healing is going to happen. Anchored in both trauma-informed neuroscience and Scripture—“Do not be anxious about anything…” (Philippians 4:6–7)—you'll learn three practical, grounding tools to calm anxiety when it spikes, interrupt spiraling thoughts, and begin restoring emotional safety after betrayal. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why anxiety feels uncontrollable after infidelity • How betrayal dysregulates the brain and body • Why reassurance and “just trusting God” don't calm anxiety • 3 practical ways to regulate your nervous system • How anxiety impacts marriage recovery and connection • What it actually takes to restore safety so healing can begin If your anxiety feels like it's controlling your emotions, your reactions, or your marriage, this episode will help you understand what's happening—and give you a starting point for relief.

In this episode I'm joined by Nigel Beach and we explore how much our environment shapes our mental state.We often try to think our way into feeling better, but our nervous system responds first to what we sense. Light, temperature, hydration, and contact with nature all send signals to the body about whether we are safe or under threat. When we change those inputs, our state naturally follows.This conversation is full of simple, practical ideas you can apply straight away at home. Nothing extreme, just small adjustments that help your body spend more time calm, clear and present.We talk about hydration and how H2O affects energy and mood, why modern lighting can keep the brain alert at the wrong times, and how sauna and cold exposure build resilience rather than stress. We also dive into grounding and why reconnecting to natural signals helps regulate the nervous system.The big message from this episode is that regulation is not only a mindset practice. It is something we can design into our daily life.In this episode we cover: • What nervous system regulation actually feels like day to day • How your home can either support recovery or keep you wired • The impact of hydration on focus, mood and energy • Lighting habits that improve sleep and recovery • Sauna and cold exposure as resilience training for the body • Grounding and reconnecting to nature • Small environmental changes that create lasting calmIf you enjoy this episode, share it with someone who would benefit and let us know your biggest takeaway

In this episode I'm sharing with you my definition of CALM and giving you my go-to strategy for getting to calm using a tool I call The Pause Break. You'll Learn:Why Mad Mom Syndrome happensWhy your kid's behavior triggers such strong feelingsHow your stress response influences your actionsThe 3 simple steps of The Pause Break that you can do anytime, anywhereThe Pause Break allows you to access calm, even in the middle of a moment when you feel overwhelmed or angry.----------------------------------------Before we get to that, let's talk about what the absence of calm looks like. I know you've been there, and so have I. Get Calm with the Pause BreakShowing up when you aren't feeling calm looks a little different for everyone, but you might find yourself:yellingsaying mean thingsmaking threatsrescuingbribingbeing rough with your kid's bodygiving in to your kid's demandsfeeling exhaustedlecturingtalking a lotshutting downnot following through on consequencesnot taking care of yourselfsleeping poorlygrumpiness that you can't shakeescalating things when your kid gets upsetshutting your kid down…generally acting in ways you don't love.When you have a mad mom episode, it's easy to beat yourself up and tell yourself things like I'm a bad mom or I'm messing up my kids. Which makes you feel guilty, embarrassed, ashamed, frustrated and confused. The more negative thoughts you have, the more defeated, discouraged, and guilty you will feel. And when you feel bad, it's hard to change your behavior. So you end up yelling again.I call this Mad Mom Syndrome, and it is a vicious cycle of negative thoughts leading to negative feelings leading to negative actions and then back again. So how do you break that cycle?That's what we're diving into for these 30 minutes. The Pause Break is the single most important tool I teach. It is where all of your personal growth happens. It's the space where change occurs. If you only take one thing away from this podcast episode, I hope it's this: You can always take a PAUSE BREAK. It's the first, and most important, step towards CALM.Listen to the full...

Hello Everybody!When life is crazy, uncertain and shaky,I can overreact out of fear.But if I stay still I know that I will,Hear the answers loud and clear.☉We're coming into our own doggone it!  One way or another, as painful or joyful as it may be, it's time to get it together.  And when I say get it together I am talking about our internal psyche more than our external living situation.  This is the perfect time for integrating all the facets of our character into a unique, complete whole.  We all have an inner mother, father, child, warrior, lover, magician, boss, worker, artist, politician, you name it.  These different components of our psyche have either been embraced, loved and nurtured through the years, or shamed, ignored, and left undeveloped or even wounded.In one way we could look at a life as simply putting all the pieces of ourselves back together in a balanced, individual way that reflects our "True Self."  This Solar eclipse in Aquarius will present us with unique opportunities to see exactly which ones are which, what we've been leaning on, leaving out, and/or completely unaware of.  Aquarius is all about awareness after all.  Calm, cool, objective, unattached awareness, period.Now when you throw in a square to Uranus you have sudden, perhaps shocking experiences of a physical, emotional, mental, or psychic nature that bring up hidden aspects of your personal unconscious into the light of consciousness.  These can be fantastic "Ah ha!" moments where the truth is revealed, or catastrophic collapse of "false" illusions about yourself that you have been believing.  One way or the other the truth shall show itself.  The important thing to remember that I refer to toward the end of the report is that this is not necessarily the time to decide or act upon these revelations.  Powerful emotions are at play want to be seen and felt, but could cause more chaos if acted upon.  The next two weeks leading up to the lunar eclipse will be best used to digest, integrate, heal, and prepare for action.  Patience is required but will really pay off.  This is an initiation into a higher expression of your being and not to be taken lightly.  Played right we can come out of this eclipse cycle in better health, well being, and empowered than ever before.  Go for it!Long Time Gone!  https://youtu.be/dIDzA0YDso8?si=YFizWl3UBnLr7xa0So Much Love,Kaypacha

In this episode I'm joined by Nigel Beach and we explore how much our environment shapes our mental state.We often try to think our way into feeling better, but our nervous system responds first to what we sense. Light, temperature, hydration, and contact with nature all send signals to the body about whether we are safe or under threat. When we change those inputs, our state naturally follows.This conversation is full of simple, practical ideas you can apply straight away at home. Nothing extreme, just small adjustments that help your body spend more time calm, clear and present.We talk about hydration and how H2O affects energy and mood, why modern lighting can keep the brain alert at the wrong times, and how sauna and cold exposure build resilience rather than stress. We also dive into grounding and why reconnecting to natural signals helps regulate the nervous system.The big message from this episode is that regulation is not only a mindset practice. It is something we can design into our daily life.In this episode we cover: • What nervous system regulation actually feels like day to day • How your home can either support recovery or keep you wired • The impact of hydration on focus, mood and energy • Lighting habits that improve sleep and recovery • Sauna and cold exposure as resilience training for the body • Grounding and reconnecting to nature • Small environmental changes that create lasting calmIf you enjoy this episode, share it with someone who would benefit and let us know your biggest takeaway

Calm gets praised. It gets rewarded. It gets mistaken for health. But emotional quiet is not always emotional maturity. In this episode, we unpack the difference between true regulation and strategic shutdown, and why some forms of calm are rooted in fear, control, or avoidance. You'll learn how to tell whether your peace is grounded and flexible or dependent on silence and compliance. Because real emotional health is not the absence of tension. It is the ability to stay present when tension shows up. Episode 336 of the Joe Martino Show is live.

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear the rain on a tent at nighttime. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor. The sounds provided by ASMR Sleep Recordings are for entertainment purposes only and are not a treatment for sleep disorders or tinnitus.

This week I'm talking about peace. Inspired by a group of Buddhist monks walking 1,800 miles across the country for peace, and by candid conversations inside my Flow fellowship, I explore what peace actually requires of us day to day. We talk about pace, presence, acceptance, boundaries, and the skills that make peace sustainable over time. I share personal stories, reflections on mindfulness, boundaries, and the value of having a sanctuary of your own.  Plus learn practical ways to steady yourself when your body is activated or your mind won't slow down. This episode is an invitation to slow down just enough to ask a useful question: What supports my peace and what erodes it? 3 Takeaways for You: Peace is built through intentional choices about pace, boundaries, and response moment by moment. Your pace is not neutral. If you're moving faster than you can stay present, peace will feel unreachable. Slowing down isn't a mindset shift — it's a practical way to stay regulated and less reactive. Peace is built through small, repeatable choices. Creating sanctuary, saying no when needed, choosing regulation over override — these aren't dramatic moves. They're quiet decisions that add up to a steadier life.

The cost of always being the calm one shows up quietly for leaders who pride themselves on being steady, supportive, and unshakeable. When you're the person everyone leans on, it's easy to absorb stress that isn't yours and slowly lose clarity, confidence, and edge. Let's explore why emotional restraint can become a hidden liability, how [...] The post The Cost of Always Being the Calm One appeared first on Ken Okel.

Today's episode is a deep dive into tactile defensiveness and sensory distress, especially around clothing. My guest is Kathryn Hamlin-Pacheco, an occupational therapist who helps kids and families understand their brains and bodies through everyday neuroscience. Kathryn will break down what's actually happening in the brain and nervous system when children experience tactile defensiveness, and why clothing can feel so overwhelming for some kids. We talk about the role of co-regulation, how parents can help create positive associations with getting dressed, and practical strategies for supporting children in navigating their sensory experiences with more safety and less stress. This episode is a grounding, compassionate look at sensory processing—and a reminder that when we understand what's underneath the behavior, everything shifts.

Skellig Michael rises straight out of the Atlantic, jagged and dramatic, and according to archaeologist Neil Jackman, it's every bit as challenging as it looks. Visiting this remote Kerry island can be an extraordinary experience – but only if travelers understand what's involved before they try. Visiting Skellig Michael: What Travelers Need to Know Clochans on Skellig MichaelImage provided by Tuatha; used with permission This article is based on podcast episode 325 featuring archaeologist Neil Jackman, director of Abarta Heritage and Tuatha. Neil is a returning guest – listen to his episode about Ireland's Ancient East.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Where the Skellig Islands Are and Why They're So Unforgettable The Skellig Islands sit about 12 kilometers (8 miles) off the coast of County Kerry, beyond the Skellig Ring. Skellig Michael is the larger of the two, shaped like a steep stone pyramid rising from the ocean. From viewpoints along the Ring of Kerry, it's striking – but being out on the water brings its scale and isolation into sharp focus. Neil describes it as a place that doesn't quite belong to the modern world, and that sense of otherworldliness is part of what makes the islands so compelling. The Monastery at the Edge of the Atlantic Skellig Michael's fame isn't just about scenery. The island is home to an early medieval monastery, likely founded in the 7th century by monks seeking complete isolation for spiritual devotion. With no deserts in Ireland, remote Atlantic islands became places of withdrawal and focus. The monastery complex includes: Dry-stone beehive huts (clocháns) Oratories and outdoor altars A burial area and stone crosses Ingenious rainwater collection systems All of it was built without mortar, relying entirely on carefully balanced stone. The site later endured Viking raids, was rededicated to St. Michael the Archangel, and eventually abandoned as a permanent settlement—though it never lost its importance as a place of pilgrimage. Little Skellig: The Island You Can't Visit Beside Skellig Michael is Little Skellig, dramatically steeper and even more inhospitable. Today it's a protected bird sanctuary, home to tens of thousands of gannets, and landing is not permitted. While archaeologists believe it would be surprising if Little Skellig was completely unused in the past, modern visitors experience it only from the water – where its scale and wildlife are still jaw-dropping. When Skellig Michael Can Be Visited Access to Skellig Michael is extremely limited. The landing season generally runs from late April or early May through September, and even then, weather plays the deciding role. Roughly one-third of scheduled trips are canceled each year. Calm conditions on shore don't guarantee a landing; the swell at the island's pier must be minimal, and conditions can change quickly. Neil stresses that flexibility is essential. Neil Jackman at the monastery of Skellig Michaelimage provide by Neil; used with permission Booking Tips From Someone Who's Been There Demand for Skellig Michael has increased dramatically, and visitor numbers are tightly controlled for safety and preservation. What travelers should know: Landing permits sell out quickly Staying near Portmagee or Valentia Island improves your chances of last-minute openings Planning multiple days in the area gives you flexibility if weather cancels your trip There's no foolproof strategy – just patience, preparation, and backup plans. What a Landing Trip Is Really Like A landing trip typically includes a 45–55 minute boat ride each way, often rough even on decent days. Once ashore, visitors have several hours on the island – but the physical challenge comes fast. The climb to the monastery involves 618 steep stone steps, with no handrails and narrow sections where people pass in both directions. Neil's practical advice: Skip walking sticks; you need free hands for balance Anyone uncomfortable with heights should think carefully before starting the climb You don't need to be an athlete, but a reasonable level of fitness matters Take breaks – there are natural resting points along the way There is now a single toilet facility near the landing area, but queues form quickly. Puffins, Gannets, and Wildlife Encounters From April through early July, Skellig Michael is home to thousands of puffins, nesting right beside the steps. They're remarkably unfazed by visitors and are a highlight for many travelers. Gannets dominate the skies year-round, and crossings sometimes include sightings of dolphins or whales. Later in the season, the puffins are gone, but the atmosphere of the island remains just as powerful. Eco Tours: A Worthwhile Alternative For those who can't land – or choose not to – eco tours circle Skellig Michael and Little Skellig without docking. These trips focus on: Wildlife viewing Sea cliffs and island scale Close views of both Skelligs from the water Eco tours are a strong option for families with younger children or travelers uneasy with heights. Just remember that you remain on the boat for the entire trip, which can be challenging for anyone prone to seasickness. Archaeologist Neil Jackmanimage used with permission Neil Jackman of Abarta Heritage and Tuatha Neil Jackman is an archaeologist and the director of Abarta Heritage, a company focused on connecting people with Ireland's past through public archaeology projects, storytelling, and site interpretation. His work helps communities protect historic places while making them more meaningful and accessible to visitors. Neil is also behind Tuatha, a membership-based resource for travelers and Ireland enthusiasts. Tuatha offers heritage-focused itineraries, in-depth articles, expert-led online talks, and courses covering Irish archaeology, history, and genealogy. Many resources are designed to help travelers turn canceled plans – like a missed Skellig landing – into deeply rewarding days on the mainland. Tuatha on Facebook & Instagram Sign up for the free Monument Monday newsletter Three Places to Visit Along the Ring of Kerry (Beyond the Skelligs) When asked to narrow down must-see spots along the Ring of Kerry, Neil admits it's nearly impossible—but a few places consistently stand out. Valentia Island Tetrapod Trackway On Valentia Island, visitors can see 380-million-year-old fossilized footprints left by some of the earliest vertebrates to walk on land. There's no visitor center or flashy display – just a simple sign and one of the most important prehistoric sites in the world. Loher Stone Fort Loher is one of the best-preserved stone ring forts in Kerry. Massive stone walls, a dramatic setting, and a strong sense of place make it a standout stop for travelers interested in early settlement and defense. Ballinskelligs Priory and St. Michael's Holy Well Closely connected to Skellig Michael's story, Ballinskelligs Priory on the mainland was founded by monks who left the island. Nearby, St. Michael's Holy Well (Tobar Mhichíl) is a small, atmospheric site that ties the island monastery back into the surrounding landscape. Add in beaches, coastal walks, and a stop along the Skellig Ring, and it's easy to see why this part of Kerry rewards travelers who give it time.

Anxiety often feels like it comes out of nowhere in midlife—especially during perimenopause and after menopause. You're doing “all the right things,” yet your nervous system feels constantly on edge. Racing thoughts. Poor sleep. A sense that something isn't right… but you can't quite name it.In this episode of Asking for a Friend, I'm joined by Dr. Lori Davis, licensed psychologist, clinical instructor at Weill Cornell Medicine, and author of the upcoming workbook This Is Your Anxiety on Menopause. Together, we unpack why anxiety often intensifies in midlife—and what women can actually do about it.Dr. Davis shares both the science and the lived experience behind anxiety, explaining how hormonal shifts, nervous system changes, sleep disruption, perfectionism, and decades of “pushing through” collide in this season of life. We also talk about why anxiety may feel different now than it did earlier in life—and why you are not broken.In this conversation, we cover:Why anxiety often spikes during perimenopause and menopauseWhether menopause causes anxiety or unmasks an existing vulnerabilityThe role of hormones, cortisol, sleep, and the nervous systemWhy worry loops and nighttime anxiety are so commonEvidence-based tools to calm anxiety (including breathing, exposure, and cognitive strategies)When therapy or medication may be helpful—and when lifestyle alone isn't enoughHow to stop fighting anxiety and start working with your nervous systemThis episode is grounding, practical, and deeply validating for women navigating midlife changes. If you've ever thought, “Why am I suddenly anxious when nothing is technically wrong?”—this conversation will help you connect the dots.

An invitation to breathe, ground, and begin again - together.After a season away, we're beginning gently, by tending to our bodies and souls.

In this episode, we explore what it means to seek an abundant life in the midst of a hurting world, and how prayerful, embodied practices can help us find healing and calm, without ignoring reality.Pastor Kelsey helps us explore how stress and trauma live in our bodies, and then guides us through simple, prayerful, embodied practices that can help regulate our nervous systems. Those practices include breath prayer, grounding, shaking, cold water, community, and song.If you are feeling exhausted, on edge, or simply longing for a softness in your body and spirit, this episode is for you.Links we mention:Listen to Minister Blyth Barnow's episode on Holy Harm Reduction and the impact of community with addiction.Connect with us:Website: dancingpastor.orgSubscribe to our weekly devotional: Embody FaithInstagram: @pastorkelseybSupport our ministry: dancingpastor.org/give

Judgment may feel protective, but it never creates closeness—internally or with others. In this episode, we explore how judgments quietly shut down curiosity, compassion, and connection, often without us realizing it. By becoming aware of our judging mind and gently loosening its grip, we create space for understanding and authentic connection. Calm doesn't come from being right—it comes from being open.
