What do you do when life throws you off course in the middle of your next big launch or business move? In today's raw and real episode, Jackie pulls back the curtain on what it means to keep showing up when everything behind the scenes is shifting — from navigating a loving but painful separation to building a $100M tapping app, stepping into a new high-level mastermind, and holding space for massive expansion, all at once. You'll hear about the spiritual energy of the season, the 40-day vessel-building principle from Kabbalah teacher David Ghiyam, and why this specific time (Taurus/Iyar) is designed for transformation, healing, and acceleration. Jackie also shares the story of a client whose launches were repeatedly sabotaged by a reoccurring emotional pattern — and how one tapping session freed her to finally move forward. This episode is both a powerful reminder and a practical toolkit for how to lead with grace, show up with truth, and sell with soul — even when life feels like it's rearranging everything. If you're navigating a personal storm, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air and a call to rise.

Life will surprise you. It likes to throw curveballs at you at unexpected times. Will you swing or duck? Lent is nearing Holy Week, and we're reflecting on how a righteous man like Joseph faced chaos with virtue.  Picture this: Joseph's world flips upside down, yet once God's will clicks, he doesn't hesitate. He steps up as husband, guardian, and defender. Today's culture tells men to run from unplanned challenges, abandoning women and kids, and staying at work until 10 PM to "provide for your family." Joseph shows us differently. He prays, discerns, and acts. My challenge to you: take that hurdle in your life and hit your knees. Seek God's will through prayer today. Don't let the world's Herod choke out your call to greatness.  We kick off with St. Michael's prayer and close with St. Joseph, terror of demons—your spiritual wingmen. This episode's for men ready to ditch passivity, root themselves in Scripture, and prepare for life's game days. One week from Holy Week, it's time to fight. Hit play, brothers—let's get to work.  References:  Holy Bible (Matthew 1:19)  St. Michael Prayer  St. Joseph Terror of Demons PrayerPowerful Quotes:  “No more passivity, no more excuses, no more lukewarm faith. This is your battle cry, your call to arms.”  “Once his eyes were opened to the will of God, without hesitation, he leaned into it fully and embraced it with great virtue.”  “We were not made for comfort. We were made for greatness.”Key Takeaway:Pray today.

[This episode originally aired on April 4, 2023]  Meditation practice doesn't happen in a vacuum; it happens in the context of our life, and our life situations can vary tremendously  •  in extreme situations it can be easy to lose our connection to practice  •  one extreme is when our situation is really cozy and going really well  •  the other extreme, which I would like to focus on here, is when our lives take a dramatic turn and we are faced with dire situations of pain and loss  •  the idea is to bring our practice to bear, no matter what the situation is  •  there's a saying that goes “whatever you meet, join with practice”  •  this does not mean laying on some kind of idea of practice as a band-aid to avoid the harshness of the situation; it means that our practice cannot be separated from the immediate experience, from each moment, no matter how painful or difficult that experience may be  •  mindfulness practice trains us in the ability to bring our minds back so we can face what's happening on the spot  •  the practice of cultivating loving kindness and compassion allows us to make a deeper connection with others through our own pain.

One of the things we say time and time again is that the “perfection infection” happens when we compare our insides to other people's outsides. When we do this, we often come up with inaccurate conclusions about ourselves AND others.Falling into the trap of the perfection infection is especially easy when you're on social media. Not only are your favorite influencers putting the best parts of their lives on public display, but all your friends and family are often doing the same. It's natural to want to highlight happy moments, but constantly scrolling through everyone's best bits can sometimes make you feel like you're not measuring up.This is one of the reasons why we share so honestly and openly about the real stuff in our lives…even when that stuff is ugly, hard, or imperfect.Our guests today can certainly relate to this sentiment. Rebecca St. James and her husband, Cubbie Fink, illuminate the heartaches and triumphs that have shaped their story as a married couple, as parents, as musicians, and—most of all—as Jesus followers in their first co-authored book, Lasting Ever.In this episode, you'll hear:How authenticity shows both the highs and the lows of lifeWhere to find security in who we areWhat to do when you are going through a dark seasonAnd so much more…We so enjoyed having Rebecca and Cubbie share their story and we hope it helps to take some of the perfection infection's weight off your shoulders today.Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/rebecca-st-james-235Check out our other resources: Mark and Jill's Marriage Story Marriage Coaching Marriage 2.0 Intensives Speaking Schedule Book Mark and Jill to Speak Online Courses Books Marriage Resources: Infidelity Recovery For Happy Marriages For Hurting Marriages For Marriages Where You're the Only One Wanting to Get Help Mom Resources: New/Preschool Moms Moms with Gradeschoolers Moms with Teens and Tweens Moms with Kids Who Are Launching Empty Nest...

The last five years have been one adventure or crisis after another. The only things that have stayed consistent have been her faith in Jesus, her marriage to a great guy, her four cool kids, and IF. She has fasted daily since October 28th, 2019, through all the following.   Homeschooling four children, three of them through high school. Teaching art classes as art director of drama productions for four plays in which the three older children were actively involved with set design and prominent speaking roles. Organizing and speaking at ladies' conferences two times a year. The husband has several job changes, one with a lengthy commute.   COVID need to say anymore?  Youngest daughter loses the ability to use her legs intermittently for about a year, which involved lots of specialists with super scary treatment plans.   The oldest daughter has severe vitamin D deficiency, losing all of her hair and experiencing severe exhaustion during school, work and soccer.  Mother-in-law broke her hip twice and is diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, which involved her having a brain tumour removed and subsequent radiation and chemotherapy. Two of her daughters-in-law shared her care, one of whom was Juliette.  Oldest son captains in two varsity sports , football and wrestling, made for year-round hectic sports schedules.  The same son gets a severe concussion, making him unable to work or go to school for several months. There was a personality change for a time, which was terrifying.   Husband had five surgeries on his eyes, two of which were emergencies and weren't guaranteed to save his eyesight as the optical nerve was damaged.   Starts working at Kohl's 3 days a week just to get out of the house and see people.  Family takes an epic road trip across the country to see the Colorado Rockies.  The oldest child has a cyst on her spine, which creates such excruciating agony that her pain can't be managed from home. Lots of MRIs and specialists and no real answers until… leukemia diagnosis.  Daughter starts her 2-3 year treatment plan for leukemia and all the hard stuff that comes with that.  Juliette begins running and training for 5K races, a sprint triathlon, a half marathon and her favourite, obstacle course runs.   Just before this podcast, her closest friend of 20 years was diagnosed with a stage four brain tumour.   Perimenopause ramps up, making for an unusually cranky mom and wife on occasion.   Celebrating 26 years of marriage in June!  How did she stay so disciplined with IF through all of this? It is because she never could have done 90% of those things prior to IF. She was so ill with a host of issues (see episodes 40 and 185 for her full IF story) that she was often bedridden and in a wheelchair. IF gave her the fuel and health to thrive amid all these crazy hardships and adventures.  It can do the same for you. She wants to Remember not to let your current circumstances keep you from “seizing the day” wherever you are treading water in your life.
