What does it really mean to stay connected to your singing voice—especially in quiet seasons, when you're not practicing, performing, or making much sound at all? In this episode, we explore what actually counts as singing for singer-songwriters, and how creativity and voice remain present even when the voice goes quiet. If you're in a slower season, returning after a break, or feeling unsure how to stay connected to your voice right now, this episode offers reassurance, permission, and a gentle reframe. We talk about the many forms creativity can take, including listening, writing lyrics, exploring meaning through words, creative cross-training, and rest. You'll be invited to see silence and stillness not as a loss, but as an essential part of the creative cycle—like the rest in music that allows the next sound to emerge. If you're longing to reconnect with your singing voice without pressure, judgment, or performance, you're in the right place.

As the year comes to an end, it's natural to start thinking about goals — getting fit, saving money, improving relationships, or managing time better. But before you rush into setting goals for 2026, this episode invites you to pause and consider something far more important: your character. In this episode, we talk about why character matters more than success, achievement, or influence. When we grow spiritually and become more like Christ, every other area of life is impacted naturally. We reflect on the life of Jesus — His obedience to the Father, His love for people, and His humility in leadership. We also revisit the powerful moment between Jesus and Peter after Peter's denial, where Jesus restores him and calls him not just to say he loves Him, but to serve Him. Using 2 Corinthians 3:18 and John 21:15–17, this conversation challenges Christian leaders to reflect honestly: Does my life reflect Christ? And have I truly committed my life to Him? If you're ending the year in reflection and preparing for what's next, this episode will help you realign your heart, your leadership, and your priorities with what matters most.

We talk about the microbiome in a way that actually makes sense, cuts through the noise, and helps you understand what your body has been trying to tell you all along. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by gut advice, supplements, or “perfect nutrition,” this episode brings it back to what truly matters and where to start.Key Highlights:➡️ Why gut health is the starting point for so many health challenges, not the last step.➡️The simple reason food color plays a bigger role than most people realize➡️What diversity on your plate actually does inside your body➡️Why “healthy eating” still isn't working for so many women➡️The hidden connection between fiber, inflammation, and everyday symptoms➡️How your gut bacteria influence more than just digestion➡️Why more supplements isn't always better and can backfire➡️The subtle signs your gut may be asking for support➡️How stress and modern life quietly drain gut resilience➡️Why supporting your microbiome doesn't have to be complicated or extremeKey Takeaways:“The microbiome is essential, and the starting point is eliminating processed foods and eating a variety of colorful, nutrient-dense foods.” -Kellie Lupsha“We want diverse foods because each color gives us a whole different set of nutrients and it gives our bugs a whole different set of fuel to make better nutrients for us.” -Dr.Heidi*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here
This episode is an invitation to pause. At the end of the year, we so often rush forward—setting goals, making plans, trying to improve. Instead, this guided creative ritual offers a moment to stand still at a viewpoint: to look back at the path you've walked, to sense the artistic horizon ahead, and to listen for what wants to come next. Together, we'll move through a gentle process of grounding, reflection, and creative listening—using journaling, intuitive drawing, lyric fragments, and simple vocal sound. There's no performance, no fixing, and no pressure to create anything “finished.” Just space. This episode is especially for singer-songwriters who: feel tender or quiet about their voice right now want to reflect on the past year without judgment are craving creative renewal rather than productivity want to begin the next year with trust, curiosity, and presence You can listen straight through, pause when you need to, or return to this ritual anytime. Come as you are. Your voice already belongs here.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I get real about shiny object syndrome, that exhausting cycle so many of us midlife women fall into: chasing the next trend, program, or “must-do” thing, only to burn out, bail, and start over again. I share my own stacks of half-finished notebooks, the lessons I've learned the hard way, and the powerful shift that happens when you stop asking “What's working for her?” and start asking “What's calling me?” This is your invitation to ditch distraction, reclaim your focus, and finally build a life—your life—that moves the needle forward.Key Highlights:➡️ How “shiny object syndrome” can keep us from living our best life.➡️ Why alignment with your values and purpose matters more than trends➡️ The importance of asking yourself, “Is this really for me?” before saying yes.➡️ How to prioritize long-term goals over short-term gratification.➡️ Why fun and joy are essential in creating a meaningful life.➡️ How social pressures and external influences can distract from your path.➡️ Ways to activate your health naturally and optimize your body in midlife.➡️ How community and support can accelerate your transformation journey.Key Takeaways:“The number one way to optimal health and wellness is to activate the body… You've got to activate our natural healing processes to heal the gut, to reduce inflammation, to heal your brain.”- Kellie Lupsha“If you're true in alignment with who you want to become, the life that you want to live… when other things come your way, you won't jump on the bandwagon.”- Kellie Lupsha*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

You'll learn how to evaluate your year without guilt, pressure, or comparison — and how to step forward with clarity and confidence.

This episode will help you slow down, gain wisdom, and align your next steps with God's plan — before you set goals or make new commitments. If you're ready to lead with intention, clarity, and peace as you move forward, this episode is for you.

Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife Redefining Aging with Wellness" the podcast where we discuss how to live an extraordinary life in every aspect. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In today's episode, Dr. Heide and I dive into a topic most women don't think about until it becomes a problem: the truth about bone strength, aging, and preventing the kinds of injuries that can dramatically change our future. As winter sets in and the risk of slips, trips, and falls increases, I wanted to have a real conversation about how we can support our bodies from the inside out.Key Highlights:Why women are more prone to falls and fractures (especially hip fractures).The myths about calcium supplements and why calcium alone isn't enough.The importance of vitamin D, K2, and magnesium for bone strength.How movement, especially jumping, rebounding, lifting weights, and unilateral exercises, activates the parathyroid gland to strengthen bones.Why the U.S. has high hip-fracture rates despite heavy calcium supplementation.The role of collagen and strontium in bone remodeling.Personal and client success stories with OsteoStrong and strength training.The message: bone health is built over years, and what you do today determines your mobility, aging, and longevity.Key Takeaways:“Once a woman… gets that hip fracture, your chances of survival for the next three to five years plummet significantly. You just shorten your lifespan dramatically after that hip fracture.” -Kellie Lupsha“Every time you work out, every time you jump up and down… we activate the parathyroid gland, and it really charges up or balances that calcium in our body.” -Dr.Heidi*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

Whether it is your spouse, partner, or ex, emotional distance does not always mean the relationship is ending. In this episode, Coach Lee explains the real reasons people become quiet or withdrawn and what you can do to respond in a way that actually brings connection instead of pushing them further away. You will learn: • What emotional withdrawal usually means • Why overcommunicating or pushing for answers often makes things worse • Why silence or distance is sometimes about stress, burnout, or overwhelm • How to stay steady instead of reacting out of fear • How to give space without creating emotional coldness • What to do if the distance continues or becomes a breakup This episode is for anyone who is feeling a shift in their marriage, relationship, or situation with an ex and wants clarity on how to handle it with calm and confidence.

How do you actually start a songwriting practice—especially if you're feeling rusty, intimidated, or creatively blocked? In this episode, I'm sharing the gentle 3-step ritual I use myself—grounding, lyric freewriting, and melody improv—to help you quiet the noise, access creative flow, and hear your creative voice again. Whether you're returning to music or just beginning to explore your voice, this practice gives you a soft place to start. These steps will help you slow down, listen inward, and make space for the song waiting to come through.
Far too many Christian women were spoken to in ways that planted lies about who they are and what they're capable of. Maybe someone told you, “You're too difficult,” “You're the problem,” or “You made me act that way.” These words derail clarity, weaken confidence, and distract you from God's plan for your life and leadership. In this episode, Pam helps you break free from the lies you believed and step into intentional, God-centered leadership so you can rise up, live called to more, and lead like Jesus with strength, focus, and courage. In This Episode, You Will Learn: 1. You Are Not What Was Spoken Over You — You Are Who God Says You Are. Unhealthy people project their brokenness, but strong leaders learn to filter lies through truth. Discover how to gain clarity, protect your focus, and build a leadership foundation rooted in God's Word. 2. Someone Else's Broken Behavior Does NOT Determine Your Worth. You were created with purpose and intention. When you understand your God-given value, you lead with confidence, manage your time with intention, and stop shrinking back from the impact God is calling you to make. 3. Your Past Does Not Limit Your Leadership Future. God has called you to more. Learn how to rise up, renew your mindset, reject limiting beliefs, and walk boldly into God's plan with intentionality and spiritual clarity. Why This Matters for Leadership & Time Management: Lies create confusion… but truth creates clarity. Lies drain energy… but truth fuels intentional action. Lies keep you stuck… but truth empowers you to lead like Jesus and step into the life you were created for. If you want to grow as a leader, strengthen your influence, and pursue God's plan with confidence, this episode will equip you with biblical truth to silence the lies and lead with purpose.

In this episode, Coach Lee takes you deep into the psychology behind the no contact rule and explains the real, often overlooked signs that no contact is working on your ex. Breakups are emotionally chaotic, and when you're the one staying silent, it's easy to assume that nothing is happening on the other side. But in reality, your silence creates a shift in the dynamic, and that shift almost always produces visible — and invisible — changes in your ex's behavior. Coach Lee breaks down each sign in detail, starting with micro-boundaries: the unfollows, refollows, profile edits, story views, and little digital breadcrumbs that reveal your ex is watching you more closely than you think. Emergency Breakup Kit (MyExBackCoach.com/ebk) Masculine Destiny (MasculineDestiny.com) Coaching Session (myexbackcoach.com/book-with-coach-lee) He also explains why your ex might suddenly check in with your friends or family, linger longer in conversations, or fish for updates about you — all indirect ways of staying connected without contacting you directly. You'll also learn how to recognize when your ex softens their boundaries by unblocking you, making their profile public again, or allowing you to see more of their activity. These subtle shifts often reflect internal conflict and emotional uncertainty. Coach Lee also unpacks the meaning behind inconsistent behavior: deleted posts, sudden mood changes, and swings between confidence and sadness that show the breakup isn't as settled in their mind as they want others to believe. Another major sign discussed in this episode is the use of emotional decoys — social media quotes, “moving on” posts, and vague messages that are really designed to get your attention or test whether you're still watching. Coach Lee explains why these decoys usually mean your ex is conflicted, not confident, and how to interpret them without breaking no contact. Finally, you'll hear why it matters when your ex isn't afraid of being misinterpreted. When they like your posts, watch your stories, or send something small and casual, it often shows they aren't worried that you'll assume too much — a sign that they're more comfortable with connection than distance. If you're using the no contact rule and feeling unsure about whether it's making any difference, this episode will give you clarity and help you understand the real emotional process happening on the other side of the breakup. It's honest, practical, and grounded in years of experience working with thousands of individuals trying to get their ex back. By the end of the episode, you'll know exactly what to look for, why these signs matter, and how to stay steady in your no contact journey so you don't sabotage your chances of reconnecting.

We're back with one of the most loved formats on Passionate & Prosperous: a real coaching session you get to listen in on and apply to your own business.In this episode, I'm coaching Caryn Bothman, a midlife coach and founder of Midlife Mama Co., who supports women navigating the transitions of midlife, empty nests, aging parents, and the “where did I go?” feeling that so many women have at this stage. Caryn is passionate about women's empowerment, personal development, and creating community through workshops, retreats, and in-person connection, but like many newer entrepreneurs, she's feeling the tension between all the things she could do and what will actually build a sustainable coaching business.We dig into where to focus first, how to think strategically about one-on-one coaching vs. group programs and workshops, and what it really takes to attract clients when you don't have a big audience yet. We talk about audience growth, list-building, lead magnets, email marketing, social media, and personal outreach, and why repetition in your messaging is not only allowed, it's required.If you've ever wondered, “Should I be doing more on social? A group program? A workshop? Where do clients even come from?” this conversation is going to feel like sitting in on a private business and marketing strategy session for your own coaching practice.In this coaching session, we dive into:How to reverse engineer your business by starting with what you actually want (income, lifestyle, and how you like to work) and building your offer strategy from thereWhy it's usually smarter to focus on one-on-one coaching first before launching group programs, memberships, and paid workshopsThe real role of workshops, talks, and live events in a profitable coaching business (and why they often work best as visibility + client attraction tools more than primary revenue streams)How to think about audience growth, lead magnets, and email list growth so you have people to invite into your offersWhy only a small percentage of your social media followers ever see your posts—and what that means about being “redundant” with your content, invitations, and calls to actionThe power of personal outreach, DM voice notes, and actual conversations in signing clients (instead of hoping a post, funnel, or sales page does all the work)How to structure discovery calls, follow-ups, and intentional communication so you're not accidentally coaching for free and then leaving people to talk themselves out of getting supportIf you're a coach or service-based entrepreneur in the earlier stages of your business—especially if you love the idea of in-person workshops, retreats, and community experiences—this episode will help you see the order of operations that actually creates a steady, prosperous coaching business.You'll also hear us talk about what it looks like to build your “yellow brick road” of offers and touchpoints over time, so that everything you do—social media, email, workshops, personal outreach, and discovery calls—works together to attract, nurture, and convert the right clients in a grounded, human way.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!⚠️ Content Note: This episode contains a real EBT coaching session with brief references to war, the death of a family member, and emotional neglect. Please listen only if you feel grounded and safe, and pause anytime you need. This episode is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health care.If you've ever wondered why years of trying so hard to change still haven't led to the breakthrough you want with food, this episode will give you a whole new level of hope. Today, you'll hear a powerful Emotional Brain Training (EBT) coaching session with Carolyn, a Zivli member who shared that she has been in 12-step programs for 38 years and spent countless hours in counseling trying to understand and heal patterns that never fully shifted.After this session, she wrote: “I woke up this morning with deep joy in my heart that I was alive and blessed to be able to hold and rock my babies, 22 grandbabies, and now my great granddaughter… that my body has been a blessing to me and others. Thank you for helping me experience that joy.”In this episode, you'll hear how EBT helps you gently uncover the emotional circuit driving overeating, use a tool called a travel back to bring safety, love, and wisdom to an earlier version of yourself, and shift from self-blame into compassion, clarity, and power. It's a tender, empowering example of how emotional patterns that feel lifelong can finally begin to change.You don't need any prior experience with EBT to follow along—just listen and notice what resonates.
Today's episode is the beginning of a new era for this show. I'm sharing the personal story behind my creative return: how I left the classical world, lost my voice for years, and slowly found my way back through songwriting — the practice that became my refuge, my bridge from silence to song, and the doorway back to my true artistry. I'll talk about the identity shift I resisted for so long — calling myself a songwriter — and how claiming that truth changed everything. And I'll share why this podcast is rebranding to Singer Songwriter: to honor the work I'm here to do, and to better support the artists who feel the creative stirring to sing, write, and reclaim their voices again. If you're an aspiring singer-songwriter or a returning musician finding your way back, this episode is your invitation into a new season of your creative life.

Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife Redefining Aging with Wellness" the podcast where we discuss how to live an extraordinary life in every aspect. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In today's episode, I'm excited to share a conversation with Heidi about a major shift in women's health. For years, many of us have been held back by fear and misinformation around hormones, and it's time to flip the script. We dive into why this change matters, how it impacts our vitality, strength, and longevity, and the steps we can take to support our bodies at every stage of life.Key Highlights:Why the “black box warning” held women back for decades.The real reason so many of us still flinch at the word “estrogen.”Why muscle and bone health are more connected to hormones than age.What happens when you start hormone support “all at once”, and why less can be more effective.How to start a hormone replacement journey safely and effectively.Patch versus cream: When each delivery method truly shines.Why gut health isn't just “bonus points”, it's the gatekeeper for how well your body uses any hormone.A simple, non-negotiable sign your gut needs attention, even if you feel “fine.”How to shift your mindset, not just your prescriptions, to reclaim vitality, not just survive midlife.Key Takeaways:“If you're not pooping regularly daily, your gut is not healthy… If you're going back and forth between constipation and diarrhea… you need gut support. It is just that critical and that essential.” -Kellie Lupsha"80% of our hormones are made in our gut. If we have leaky gut... the production of good, solid, awesome hormones is just not going to happen." -Dr. Heidi*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

In this final Friday Coaching Corner of 2025, Sybil follows up on a previous episode after hearing from a listener whose story echoes so many others navigating malicious interference in the parent–child relationship.This mom has been enduring post-separation abuse for over two years, including weaponized court orders, ignored therapeutic directives, and a teen who has been heavily influenced by the abusive parent. She asks Sybil to address three painful and important questions:How can a mom who has been partially separated from her teen due to manipulation and lies maintain connection outside of the legal and family court systems?Why do teens so often side with the abusive parent, even when that parent is violating orders or causing harm?What steps can a protective parent take to begin radically accepting the situation, especially when their child seems brainwashed, fearful, or aligned with the harmful parent?Listen to episode 2 of the Friday Coaching Corner "When Unconditional Love Looks Like “Being Walked Over”": https://www.buzzsprout.com/1991648/episodes/17927785Want your question featured in a future Friday Coaching Corner?

You are going to love this episode. Get ready to identify the very excuse(s) you use to stop you short of Rising Up, Leading, and Impacting others at work, in your community, and at home. While it is easy to shrink back, it is more challenging to be bold and choose to be intentional to lead well. This is why so many never step into their God-given calling to grow into the leader they were created to become. Don't let this be you. You can lean in and learn what you need to lead. You can elevate your perspective and recognize this is not about you, but about the lives you can impact. Accept the responsibility to lead and do it afraid and choose to be uncomfortable until your no longer are. Lastly, do the right thing for the right reason - to impact the lives of those around you. Today, we need Confident Christian Influence more than ever before. It all begins with a simple yes and a willing heart to be obedient.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In today's episode, I'm diving into one of the most misunderstood parts of midlife health: the obsession with quick fixes. Everywhere we look, someone is telling us to try a new peptide, a new hormone, or a new supplement. But before we reach for the “next best thing,” it's time to reconnect with the foundations our bodies have always relied on. If you're ready to feel empowered, clear, and confident in your health again, this episode is for you.Key Highlights:The real foundations of wellness: sleep, hydration, movement, and nurturing yourself.How supplement overload can actually hold you back, and how to simplify your routine.Gene activation and GLP-1 explained: how to naturally turn your body's switches back on.Why exhaustion isn't just about sleep, decision fatigue, and constant notifications are draining your brain.The difference between treating symptoms and supporting your body at its root.Practical ways to nurture yourself daily, even in small five- to ten-minute routines.Key Takeaways:“10 years from now 70% of us will be on some GLP one. It's not for weight loss. It's because the GLP one hormone that we all have inside of us... helps regulate our metabolic health.”-Kellie Lupsha“We have to get back to basics... our bodies as human beings were designed to operate beautifully if we give it the sleep and the rest for restore.” -Kellie Lupsha*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here

In this special live coaching session, Jillian speaks with a woman who is struggling to end her 17-year marriage to a good man—and wrestling with overwhelming guilt about breaking up her family. As they unpack the story, a deeper truth emerges: the real turning point wasn't “lack of growth” or “misaligned goals,” but a painful and confusing experience in which her husband repeatedly encouraged her to date other men in hopes of fixing their intimacy. Jillian helps her name the hurt, the rejection, and the sense of being unseen that she's been carrying alone. This conversation is a powerful look at consent, self-advocacy, and the courage required to tell the full truth—both to yourself and to your partner.

You can hire the best coach, join the most elite mastermind, and sit in every single training out there — but if you don't know how to get the most out of it, you'll miss the transformation that was meant for you. In this episode of The Raquel Show, I'm diving deep into what truly makes a coaching relationship powerful.I'll share how my first high-level coaching investment completely shifted my mindset (spoiler: it wasn't because of a “secret formula”) — and the three phases that determine whether you'll see real results or stay stuck in the same cycle.If you've ever wondered why some people seem to grow so much faster — this episode will reveal the real difference between those who succeed and those who don't.Things I Cover:
In this episode, I'm sharing a Live Coaching session from inside MACROS 101 with Lauren, who caught herself reaching for dessert while thinking, “You're not hungry for this.” We unpacked that familiar tug-of-war between the part that wants the cookie and the part that says you shouldn't. But what if there's another path forward? Listen in as I coach Lauren on making choices from a place of wholeness, and why food feels so much trickier in social settings than when you're eating alone.
