There are seasons in life when I can feel myself craving rest, yet slowing down feels uncomfortable. In this episode, I share why I chose to step completely off the grid for a wellness retreat and what surfaced in me as I prepared to disconnect. What surprised me most wasn't just the logistics or anxiety—it was recognizing how much I had tied my worth to constantly doing and being available. I talk about the difference between collapse and intentional rest, why nervous system regulation matters, and why stillness is not a luxury reserved for a few people. I've learned that rest isn't something I earn after I've done enough. It's something I need if I want to live with clarity, joy, and presence. In this episode, you'll learn: Why stepping away can reveal what truly needs attention  The difference between intentional rest and burnout  How chronic busyness affects emotional regulation and joy  Why rest is a biological requirement, not a reward  Simple ways to create moments of stillness in everyday life  If you've been waiting for permission to slow down, I hope this episode encourages you to give yourself that gift and reconnect with what matters most.

Is It Manipulation or Is It Kindness? Whether you realize it or not, you're already influencing your spouse. Every day. Through your words. Your attitudes. Your reactions. Your encouragement. Your silence. The question isn't whether you're influencing them. The question is why. Are you trying to get your own way? Or are you trying to help them become who God created them to be? That's what this week's podcast is all about. Many husbands and wives feel guilty when they want change in their marriage. They worry that encouraging their spouse toward growth somehow makes them manipulative. But what if influence itself isn't the problem? What if the real issue is the motive behind it? In this episode, we explore the difference between selfish manipulation and godly influence—and why helping your spouse move closer to Jesus may actually be one of the most loving things you can do.

Schedule a free Clarity Call here. PPS - Here is what (another) recent Coaching Graduate had to say: "I am responsible for changing my heart. Attempting to change [my wife] only caused her to feel worse and more unsafe. By working on myself to be a better man she is drawn to that. Realizing that God's design is about sacrificial love with no expectations. There is a true freedom in that. I had turned so much about my marriage into a bargaining chip for sex that I had lost the plot and failed to love my beautiful wife the way that Christ loves us. Truly a wake-up call." .........................................................

Welcome back to the podcast. Today, we are diving into a topic that affects millions of people yet is often misunderstood: Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or CPTSD.Joining me is Jay Saxe, also known as The Trauma Coach, an IFS-informed healing practitioner helping high-functioning trauma survivors who look fine on the outside but don't feel fine on the inside.In this conversation, Jay breaks down what CPTSD really is and why so many people struggle with patterns of shame, self-criticism, emotional dysregulation, and relationship challenges without realizing that trauma may be at the root.We'll also explore Internal Family Systems, or IFS, a powerful therapeutic approach that helps people connect with and heal the different parts of themselves that developed in response to difficult life experiences.

Heads up before you dive in. This episode talks openly about binge eating, overeating, body image, and the emotions underneath them. If any of this feels heavy for you right now, please take care of yourself and come back when you're ready, or listen with a parent or trusted adult nearby. And if you've been binging multiple times a week or daily for months, please reach out to a professional for support. This episode is meant to start a conversation, not replace clinical care. If you've ever finished a snack, a meal, or a whole container of food and then sat in the aftermath wondering how you got there and why you did it, this episode is for you. Binge eating and overeating don't usually start with the food. They start with something underneath that nobody has helped you name yet. Today's episode is a solo with Leslie, sharing the story of a friend who recovered from binge eating disorder and what her story can teach you about why the diet rules and the willpower and the food restriction aren't the solution most people think they are. You'll hear what's actually happening when binge eating or overeating takes over, why society keeps blaming the food instead of looking at what's underneath, and the first real shift that can start to change everything. In this episode you'll hear what autopilot eating looks like and why it leaves you confused and ashamed afterward, the reason adding more rules and tightening control usually makes things worse, what your eating has been trying to tell you that nobody has named for you yet, why your adolescent or young adult brain is actually a built in advantage for unwinding these patterns, the mindfulness practice that helps you uncover the real need underneath the behavior, and what it feels like to start building real trust with your body and your food. Why you might suddenly find yourself in the aftermath of a binge with no real understanding of how you got there The reframe that changes everything (it's not the food, it's the unmet need) Why diet rules, control, and willpower keep failing you instead of fixing the problem How food can quietly become a temporary soother the same way other coping behaviors do What unmet emotional needs can actually look like in your real day to day life (stress, loneliness, bullying, body shame, past experiences) Why your adolescent and young adult brain is in the perfect window to rewire your relationship with food How mindfulness practice can help you uncover the need underneath the behavior, gently and without judgment What it actually feels like to trust yourself and your body around food Parents: This is an important episode for any parent who is worried about a teen or college aged child who is struggling with their eating, restricting, binging, or quietly carrying shame around food. Leslie unpacks why the standard "just stop, have more willpower" approach does not work and what's actually happening underneath the behavior. She also makes the case for why adolescence is a unique window to start unwinding these patterns, not the worst time to address them. Listen with your teen if you can, or send it to them with a short note that lets them know you would love to talk about it with them.

What if the thing keeping you stuck in dating isn't a lack of clarity but a fear of getting hurt?In this mini episode, Meghan explores a struggle many single women face: when healthy discernment quietly turns into self-protection. If you've ever found yourself overanalyzing, waiting for perfect peace, or avoiding vulnerability in the name of being "wise," this conversation is for you.Discover the difference between discerning God's invitation and letting fear keep you stuck. Meghan shares how the desire to avoid pain can unintentionally keep us from the very connection we're longing for and why sometimes the next faithful step is all we're being asked to take.Because sometimes the next step—not perfect certainty—is where God meets us.If dating has felt exhausting, disappointing, or overwhelming, this episode offers a compassionate invitation to trade certainty for trust, curiosity, and courage..

You talk to your toddler all day long. You narrate everything. And still — he's not talking, or not very much. So you do what everyone tells you: talk to him even more.After almost forty years with toddlers and the families raising them, here's what Erin Hyer, speech-language pathologist, can tell you: talking more isn't the fix.Language isn't built by the number of words you pour in during the day — it's built by the back-and-forth between you and your child.In this episode, Erin unpacks why "just talk more" is the advice every worried parent hears, where it came from, and why it quietly misses what actually matters.She breaks down the famous "thirty-million-word gap" and what the research that followed really found, why screens can't build language no matter how "educational" they look, and the one small shift you can start today.You'll walk away understanding: → Why talking AT your child isn't the same as talking WITH him → The "thirty-million-word gap" — and what came after it → Why screens and apps don't build talking → What "serve and return" is — and how to start it at breakfast, bath, and bedtime stories → The one shift that does more than a thousand more wordsShare this with every mom wondering why her little one isn't talking yet.

After 101 first dates and years of wondering why relationships never seemed to move forward, Becca knew something needed to change.  Through her journey in the Thriving in the Space Between program, she began to uncover patterns that were keeping her from receiving the kind of love she desired and learned to embrace a more authentic, feminine approach to dating. In this conversation, Becca and her fiancé Steve share the story of how God brought them together, the personal growth and healing that prepared them for a healthy relationship, and the lessons they've learned while discerning marriage.  From navigating long-distance dating and learning to communicate well, to trusting God's timing and letting go of control, their story is filled with practical wisdom and hope. If you've ever wondered whether lasting love is possible, or if God is still writing your story, this episode is a beautiful reminder that transformation often begins long before the right person arrives. .

If you've been feeling pulled between honoring your own needs and keeping everyone else happy, this episode is for you. In this deeply personal conversation, I share what I've been learning as I navigate major life changes, shifting relationships, stronger boundaries, and the uncomfortable reality that growth often makes other people uncomfortable. I open up about patterns of codependency, people-pleasing, and trying to control outcomes so that everyone around me feels okay — even when it comes at the expense of my own peace. Together, we'll explore why choosing yourself doesn't have to mean losing everyone you love, how the brain creates false either-or choices, and why personal growth often requires us to tolerate discomfort while staying rooted in truth, integrity, and self-awareness. In this episode, you'll learn: How codependency can quietly shape our relationships Why people-pleasing often comes from a desire to control outcomes The truth about boundaries and why others may resist them How to navigate identity shifts in midlife Simple practices that help build strength during difficult seasons Terri Cole's website: https://www.terricole.com/codependency-over-functioning/ If this conversation resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

Heads up before you dive in: This episode talks openly about depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. If any of that feels heavy for you right now, it's okay to come back to this when you're ready, or listen with someone you trust nearby. Depression doesn't always look the way you've been told it looks. Sometimes it shows up as a slow heaviness. Sometimes it shows up as a loop in your head you can't seem to climb out of. Sometimes it shows up as isolation, exhaustion, or the feeling that nothing you do is going to matter. Wherever it shows up for you, this episode is for you. Today's guest is Brian Sachetta, an author, blogger, and mental health advocate behind Get Out of Your Head, a brand and book series that helps people work through anxiety and depression with practical, everyday tools. Brian spent years navigating his own anxiety and depression, and now uses what he learned to help others build a toolkit that actually fits their life. In this episode you'll hear why resisting your own anxiety or depression often makes it louder, the biopsychosocial model and how depression can come from biological, psychological, and social factors all at the same time, why depression works as a positive feedback loop (the kind that builds on itself, not the kind that lifts you up), and the simple lifestyle tools Brian leans on the most. Plus the single most important first step when you feel like you can't tell anyone what's going on. Why depression often shows up alongside anxiety and what it actually feels like from the inside Why trying to banish your anxiety or depression altogether usually backfires The biopsychosocial model and how to use it to look at your own life Why depression is a positive feedback loop and what it takes to start reversing it How alignment with what you actually want protects your mental health (not what your schedule or other people say you should want) Why exercise can be as effective as medication for many people according to research The Albert Einstein quote that explains why overthinking your way out of a spiral doesn't work How the amygdala and prefrontal cortex get hijacked during a depressive or anxious moment Why omega 3 fatty acids matter for mood and how to bring more of them into your day The one most important first step when you feel like you can't talk to anyone Parents: This episode is a great listen if your teen has been quieter than usual, more withdrawn, struggling with their mood, or showing signs of anxiety or depression. Brian breaks down what depression actually is in plain language, why it builds on itself, and the small daily tools that can start to shift things. He also makes a clear case for why your teen needs at least one trusted adult to start the conversation with, and offers a hopeful frame they can come back to over and over. Listen with your teen if you can, or send it to them with a short note that lets them know you're here for the conversation. Ready to support your teen through what they're navigating right now?

Feeling anxious about money in your business? In this episode Raina, the Biblical Money Mindset Discipleship Coach, explores how childhood money messages: fear, scarcity, guilt, or silence can secretly sabotage Christian female entrepreneurs. She explains why these issues aren't just strategy problems and how they show up as hesitation, self-doubt, and playing small when it's time to price, sell, or celebrate success. Raina shares how renewing your mind with Scripture and discipleship can transform beliefs, restore peace, and enable you to earn more without fear, sell with confidence, and steward your calling with joy. She invites listeners to break generational money patterns through truth, prayer, and God's Word and points to resources to start that journey.   ✨ Free 5-Min Money Mindset Quiz: https://form.jotform.com/CoachRaina/quiz

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to notice opportunities, guidance, and synchronicities everywhere they go while others feel disconnected and lost?In this episode of Inspire Create Manifest, Joe explores a powerful question:Is the renewing of the mind that Paul spoke about actually the spiritual practice of directing our attention?Drawing connections between scripture, neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and the Reticular Activating System, Joe breaks down why what we focus on shapes what we experience.This isn't about positive thinking.It's about intentional focus.You'll discover how Philippians 4:8 and Proverbs 23:7 align with modern science, why your brain continually searches for evidence that supports your dominant thoughts, and how faith may not change what exists around you, but radically change what you're able to notice.If you're ready to move from fear into faith, from distraction into awareness, and from uncertainty into clarity, this episode is for you.

What if the life you long for is closer than you think? What if life can be good again? When Miriam first discovered coaching, she felt exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle that left little room for joy, relationships, or hope. In this powerful conversation, she shares how healing old patterns, processing emotions, and learning to trust God transformed not only her dating life, but every area of her life. From uncovering hidden beliefs and growing in vulnerability to finding peace in uncertainty, Miriam's story is a beautiful reminder that God desires healing, freedom, and abundant life for each of us. If you've been feeling stuck or discouraged, or wondering whether things can really change, this episode will leave you with renewed hope and practical encouragement for the journey ahead. .

A conversation with Kula Yoga Fest founder Laura Erickson about yoga, community, nature, and the retreat-style experience of Camp Kula 2026.In this episode of The Midlife Spirituality Project, I'm joined by Laura Erickson, founder of Kula Yoga Fest, for a conversation about yoga, community, nature, and the power of gathering in person.Kula Yoga Fest 2026 is becoming Camp Kula — an all-inclusive, retreat-style yoga festival taking place July 24–26, 2026 at Ogontz White Mountain Resort in Lyman, New Hampshire. The weekend includes yoga, wellness sessions, nature, community, farm-to-table meals, live music, lake time, hiking, and space to slow down and reconnect.In our conversation, Laura shares the heart behind Kula Yoga Fest and why this gathering is about so much more than yoga classes. It is about belonging. It is about stepping away from the noise of everyday life. It is about being surrounded by teachers, practices, nature, and community that help you remember who you are.We also talk about why in-person experiences matter so much, especially in a world where many of us are craving deeper connection, meaningful conversation, and spaces where we can be fully ourselves.This episode is also special because I'll be teaching at Kula Yoga Fest this year. I'll be offering Candlelit Slow Flow Vinyasa and a Discovering Your Dharma workshop — both designed to help you slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the wisdom already within you.In This Episode, We Talk AboutThe story and heart behind Kula Yoga FestWhat the word “kula” means and why community is central to yogaHow Kula Yoga Fest is becoming a retreat/festival hybrid for 2026Why gathering in person can be so healingWhat makes Camp Kula feel like a wellness summer camp for the soulThe importance of nature, rest, play, and shared practiceWhat attendees can expect from the weekendWhy yoga is not just something we do on the matThe power of slowing down enough to hear yourself againKatie's offerings at Kula Yoga Fest: Candlelit Slow Flow Vinyasa and Discovering Your DharmaWhy This Conversation MattersSo many of us are craving something deeper than another class, another event, or another thing to add to the calendar.We are craving spaces where we can exhale.Spaces where we can reconnect with our bodies, our breath, our inner wisdom, and one another.That is what makes Kula Yoga Fest feel so aligned with the larger conversation we've been having here on the podcast about coming home to yourself.Sometimes coming home happens in stillness.Sometimes it happens on the mat.Sometimes it happens in nature.And sometimes it happens when we gather with others who are also seeking more peace, more meaning, more connection, and more truth.Listen If You AreCraving deeper communityInterested in yoga retreats or wellness festivalsCurious about Kula Yoga Fest 2026Looking for a meaningful summer experienceFeeling disconnected from yourself or othersWanting to spend more time in natureLonging for rest, reflection, movement, and connectionInterested in attending a retreat-style yoga festival in New HampshireLooking for spaces that support spiritual growth and self-discoveryResources MentionedLearn more about Kula Yoga Fest:https://www.kulayogafest.com/aboutDiscount Code: UNDERSTARS26If this conversation speaks to something you have been craving — more connection, more space, more community, more time in nature, or a deeper relationship with yourself — I would love to invite you to learn more about Kula Yoga Fest.And if you'll be there this July, please come find me.

Have you ever stopped to question the beliefs you have about what's possible for your life and asked yourself...Where did those beliefs come from? And do you actually want to keep believing they're true?So often we're handed stories from family, culture, religion, and society that shape how we see ourselves and what we think we're capable of. What happens though when those beliefs no longer align with who you're becoming?In this conversation, you'll hear from brand photographer Rebecca McCoy, who shares her journey of growing up in a restrictive religious environment that shaped what she believed was possible for her as a woman, and how she learned to challenge those beliefs, trust herself, and create a life on her own terms.If you're ready to stop letting old stories define your future and start choosing what you want to believe about yourself, this episode is for you.Are you local to Baltimore and want to take this work deeper?Join us for BELIEVE!An in-person experience to help you reconnect with your vision, your confidence and what's possible for your life.Get all the details and RSVP here!

In this episode, we explore the fascinating concept of soul contracts: the idea that before we are born, our souls may agree to certain lessons, experiences, and relationships designed to support our growth and evolution. We'll discuss what soul contracts are, common signs you may be experiencing one, the role they can play in love, family dynamics, friendships, and life challenges, and how these connections can become powerful catalysts for healing and transformation.Whether you're curious about spirituality, seeking meaning in a significant relationship, or wondering why certain people have entered your life, this conversation invites you to look at your journey through a new lens. Join us as we explore the possibility that every meaningful encounter carries a deeper purpose and that even our greatest challenges may contain profound gifts for the soul.Connect with me:Instagram: @Pam_RoccaTik Tok: @Pam_RoccaWebsite: www.pamrocca.comWork with me:Book a Free 15-minute Clarity Call:https://calendly.com/divinehealth/15minBook an Initial Consultation: https://calendly.com/divinehealth/90minIntuitive Oracle Reading: https://calendly.com/divinehealth/60-minute-intuitive-oracle-card-readingIntuitive Reiki Session or Distance Reiki Session:https://calendly.com/divinehealth/in-person-intuitive-reiki-healing-session-60-minsEnergy Work Sessions - Energy Healing: https://calendly.com/divinehealth/energy-healing-sessionSoul and Transformation Coaching: https://calendly.com/divinehealth/3-month-coaching-packageIf you enjoyed this episode, please let me know so I can create more of the content you love.

Hello, Beautiful...I'm so grateful you're here with me. Happiness often begins with the small choices we make throughout the day.

In case you need this reminder today: You are allowed to be in process. You are allowed to say, "I do not have all the answers yet, but I want to learn." You are allowed to be growing. That is not failure. That is humility. And humility is often far stronger than we realize. Sometimes we think confidence means having everything figured out before we take a step. But that's not real confidence at all. Real confidence says, "I'm willing to learn." Real confidence says, "I don't know everything, but I'm going to move forward anyway." Real confidence says, "I may make mistakes, but I'm not going to let fear keep me stuck." Because transformation requires confidence. Not confidence that you'll do everything perfectly, but rather confidence that God can help you grow. Remember: you are not starting from zero. There have been times you loved your spouse well. There have been moments that brought a smile to their face. There are ways God has already grown you that you may have forgotten. You are a good spouse who wants to get better. Bravo to you. Seriously. And if fear has been whispering that you shouldn't try unless you can do it perfectly, don't listen. Perfection isn't the goal. Becoming more like Jesus is. So take the next step. Ask the question. Receive the help. And move forward with confidence.
