Episode 97 ✨ Which Comes First: Belief or Action? Two Musts for Better Results In this week's episode of Trusting Dorothy, we're diving into the two must-have ingredients for lasting results, whether in health, fitness, business, or life. Results don't come from doing more; they come from a powerful blend of belief and compliance (consistent action). But here's the real question: Which comes first? Do you need to believe in yourself before you can stay consistent, or does consistency itself build belief? In this episode, Dorothy unpacks: Why external validation keeps belief fragile How to shift from hope → deep self-trust The role of compliance (and why “noncompliance” is often disbelief, not laziness) Subconscious reasons we avoid consistency, and how to face them safely How belief and action fuel each other to create momentum Whether you're on a health journey, building a business, or simply trying to follow through on something important, this episode will help you strengthen the foundation that makes all results possible. self-trust, belief in yourself, health results, fitness consistency, habit change, mindset, action vs belief, self-discipline, nervous system regulation, weight loss mindset Resources & Links: Explore Within: A Return to Self – A 21-Day Journey of Embodied Calm, Clarity, and Deep Self-Trust →https://www.dorothymcgatlin.com/Within-Waitlist Move your body with me inside The Lift Library → HERE _____________________________________________________ Click HERE for the Show Notes.

When life feels heavy—whether from personal struggles, business challenges, or the state of the world—it can be tempting to push discomfort aside, ignore it, or try to “positive think” our way through. But ignoring those in-between states leaves behind something valuable: the wisdom hidden in what we call Static. In this episode, Erin and Steve unpack the HEAL Static process from their book Superabound: Live the Life the Universe is Dreaming for You. This practice helps you tune into the static rather than avoid it—because within that discomfort are insights that can transform how you relate to yourself and the world. And here's the best part: you can gain the benefits in just five minutes a day. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Static isn't an obstacle but a powerful inner signal How acknowledging discomfort leads to growth instead of retreat The difference between bypassing feelings and working with them An invitation to join the 30-Day Journey this October to experience the practice firsthand Resources and Links Join the free 30-Day Journey: besuperabound.com/static Read Superabound: Live the Life the Universe is Dreaming for You for the full HEAL Static process. This is more than a mindset hack—it's a tool for creating alignment, building resilience, and showing up for your Vision with greater clarity and courage.

This letter is a dramatic call for radical repentance, urging them to buy "gold refined by fire," "white garments," and "salve to anoint your eyes" from Him. We explore the profound imagery of Christ standing at the door and knocking, offering a deeply personal invitation: if anyone hears His voice and opens the door, He will come in and eat with them, promising the overcomer a place on His very throne—a powerful reminder that true spiritual richness begins not with self-reliance, but with humble obedience.Please complete the content survey here.My Portion: A 40 Day Journey of Finding All you Need in GodMusings of A Redneck Reverend

In this “Compared to Who?” episode, Heather Creekmore talks about how growing in spiritual maturity can help you break free from comparison and body image struggles. She gently challenges listeners to re-examine the belief that life will be easy if you just do everything right—a mindset she calls “magical thinking.” Instead, Heather explains how holding onto this idea can prevent us from fully trusting God and experiencing real growth. She shares her personal experiences with disappointment, especially around marriage and body image, and how letting go of perfectionism and unrealistic expectations made space for deeper faith and emotional stability. Ultimately, the message is about moving away from idols and quick fixes, and toward a more honest, grace-filled relationship with Jesus—even if it means accepting that life will have its hardships. There’s a lot more nuance and encouragement in the episode, so it’s definitely worth a listen!

Episode 95:From Imbalance to Harmony ✨ What if the moments that feel most off-balance are actually guiding you to deeper harmony? In this episode of Trusting Dorothy, we explore how balance is often born from imbalance. Inspired by the recent equinox, a fleeting moment of perfect balance between light and dark, we dive into what balance really means in our daily lives. Dorothy shares how imbalance, though uncomfortable, can be a powerful teacher. From burnout to overcommitment, people-pleasing to health habits, imbalance reveals what we value, where we need to realign, and how to create a truer sense of harmony. You'll learn: Why balance isn't a permanent state but a dynamic rhythm. How imbalance can lead to expanded self-understanding and self-trust. Everyday examples of imbalance in parenting, health, and business. Simple practices for noticing imbalance and making gentle corrections. How to reframe wobbling as a messenger, not a mistake. Whether you're feeling stretched too thin or pulled in different directions, this episode will help you see imbalance as a guide toward deeper harmony and personal growth. Keywords: balance, equinox, self-trust, harmony, women's health, personal growth, nervous system, self-realization, self-awareness, life balance Resources & Links: Explore Within: A Return to Self – A 21-Day Journey of Embodied Calm, Clarity, and Deep Self-Trust →https://www.dorothymcgatlin.com/Within-Waitlist Move your body with me inside The Lift Library → HERE _____________________________________________________ Click HERE for the Show Notes.

In this episode of How Humans Heal, I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Aimie Apigian, the author of "The Biology of Trauma". This is such an important topic for everyone, and it's of great interest to me because I've been researching how trauma affects us as humans and how we can recover it for over 25 years. Sometimes in our attempt to heal, we end up just re-traumatizing ourselves. We find that there's been a reason why our body and our mind have wanted to keep everything stuffed down and to keep everything packed tightly away. There's a fear in the healing process of not even knowing if we want to look inside because of all the stuff we're afraid we're going to uncover. Dr. Apigian's intention is to help people not feel as scared about the healing process. She went through the process of healing from trauma herself, and now hopes to help people before they reach the breaking point she hit.  We're here to help you!

Heather speaks into the aftermath of last week’s tragic events to address how these unsettling times can actually serve as a wake-up call for Christian women struggling with body image and comparison. Instead of focusing on the headlines, Heather invites listeners to examine what we’re really battling daily. She explores the big idea that our struggle isn’t with the scale, the mirror, or even other women—it’s a spiritual battle, not “against flesh and blood,” as Ephesians 6:12 says. Heather shares a relatable story about getting a speeding ticket (and her less-than-humble reaction!) as an illustration of the subtle ways pride and self-focus sneak in, keeping us distracted from what God is calling us to. Here are some references & main themes: The assassination of Charlie Kirk: Not the main focus of the episode, but this tragic event is used as context for discussing spiritual wake-up calls and living boldly for Jesus. Us vs. them mentality: How cultural polarization and volatility can lead to numbness or withdrawal, even from our spiritual callings. Spiritual battle vs. physical struggle: Using Ephesians 6:12, Heather emphasizes we need to recognize the spiritual nature of our struggles—especially with body image, insecurity, and comparison. Armor of God (Ephesians 6): Are you more worried about what you wear or making sure you have the armor of God on? The lie of “my truth” vs. God’s truth: Heather draws from the cultural trend of embracing “my truth” and contrasts it with God’s truth, especially in how we view ourselves and our worth. Pride and self-righteousness: Illustrated through her personal speeding ticket story, reminding us how quickly we default to excusing ourselves and judging others. Encouragement for action: Rather than “doing more” or “trying harder,” Heather invites listeners to actually follow Jesus, not just fit Him into their goals and plans. Overcoming shame and guilt: She warns listeners not to get caught in the enemy’s trap of shame for not being "further along" in their spiritual walk, and instead to run toward Jesus, the light, and real security. Programs and Resources Mentioned: 40-Day Journey: Starts October 1st, with groups beginning October 7th. Details at improvebodyimage.com or directly at: https://www.improvebodyimage.com/40-day-challenge Body Image Freedom Framework: Heather’s online course for deeper freedom in the areas discussed in the episode. Coaching and community offerings: Here are links to programs designed to equip women for the real battle. Questions to Reflect On: Which “battle” am I spending most of my time and energy on each day? How does believing my own truth about my body or worth keep me from living in God’s truth? Am I taking Jesus along for my ride, or am I letting Him lead? Final encouragement: Heather calls listeners to reject shame, fight the real battle, and let their light shine for Christ. She challenges us to think about how we will be remembered—not as women obsessed with their image, but as those unafraid to shine the light of Jesus. For more: Listen to this episode for Heather’s personal stories, practical encouragement, and a heartfelt call to step out of comparison and into true freedom.

Episode 95: Thirteen and Thresholds: More Trust, Less Worry On celebrating endings, embracing beginnings, and meeting change with love. This week marks a milestone: my son's 13th birthday. While this episode is dedicated to him, the reflections inside are for us all. In this conversation, I explore the thresholds we all encounter, from childhood to teenage years, from endings to beginnings, from questions answered to questions left open. Through personal stories and practical insights, I share why celebrating the past, staying anchored in the present, and choosing trust over worry can change how we experience life's transitions. What you'll hear in this episode: Why every age and every season can be your “favorite” when you're truly present The bittersweet duality of joy and nostalgia (and how love holds both safely) How to shift from the frequency of worry into the frequency of trust and peace Why leaving questions open creates freedom and possibility How preparation builds confidence, but trust carries you forward Whether you're navigating parenting milestones, career changes, or your own next chapter, this episode is an invitation to honor where you've been, open yourself to what's ahead, and trust yourself along the way.

Episode 94: Messy Before It's Neat Overwhelm, Empathy, and Owning Your Own Energy Sometimes life feels like my daughter's messy room, things get more chaotic before they come together. In this episode, I share how something as simple as helping her set up a new bed reminded me of a much bigger truth: you are responsible for you. Not in the “check the boxes and do all the things” way, but in the deeper, embodied way of taking responsibility for your own energy and emotions. In this episode, you'll learn: Why overwhelm often comes from unfinished “messes” in life (and how to reset) How empathy can make you feel responsible for others' emotions—and how to let that go The truth about emotions: why you don't need to “manage” them, but instead release and move through them What happens when we avoid feelings through numbing, scrolling, or overeating Why “good vibes only” is incomplete, and how duality is part of being human Practical stepping stones: workouts, nervous system regulation, and slowing down to listen to yourself How to anchor into deeper truths so you can feel safe and steady, even when life is messy ✨ Takeaway: You are responsible. You are capable. And being okay doesn't mean always being happy—it means trusting yourself enough to move through what comes up.

The sacred window of Elul has arrived, opening forty transformative days unlike any others in our calendar. This moment marks when Moses began his ascent up Mount Sinai to receive the second tablets—a profound historical pattern of forgiveness that we now have the opportunity to experience personally.What makes these days so powerful? Our sages teach that Elul represents "yimei haratzot"—exceptionally potent days of divine mercy when spiritual return is most accessible. The Shulchan Aruch describes them as "muvcharim yoser u'mezumanim lechuvah"—days specifically chosen and designated for teshuvah. This isn't merely tradition; it's a spiritual reality that creates an unparalleled opportunity for genuine transformation.Yet there's a crucial distinction between authentic teshuvah and the distractions that often derail us. Many well-intentioned people burden themselves with additional rituals during Elul—extra fasting, stringencies, complex commitments—without connecting these practices to what truly matters. Real teshuvah means "return"—reconnecting with God through honest introspection and meaningful change. Rather than adopting random practices, focus on what genuinely brings you closer to the divine: perhaps a consistent prayer schedule, character development, or simple yet profound commitments like arriving on time for morning prayers.Elul demands "a profound change of mindset, attitudes, and actions." These days of divine favor, joy, and mercy invite us to ascend our own spiritual mountains and return to a deeper relationship with Hashem. How will you use this sacred time? Begin your journey now—the mountain awaits your climb.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!---------------- SUBSCRIBE to The Weekly Parsha for an insightful weekly talk on the week's Parsha.

Do you tend to feel sadness or let down at the end of special seasons-- like holidays or summer? If so, you could suffer from a (made-up) condition called CDD - Chronic Disappointment Disorder. Heather confesses that she wrestles this condition which keeps her chronically feeling like she should have done more or at least enjoyed the special seasons more. If you feel sad at the end of summer, and are "woulda, shoulda, coulda" over-thinking what you wish your summer had looked like, this episode is for you. Those of us with body image issues have a fabulous way of not just lamenting the end of special seasons, but lamenting lots of other things that don't go according to our expectations. You'll find encouragement and hope from the truth of this episode. Learn more about Compared to Who? here: https://www.improvebodyimage.com Ready for the 40-Day Journey?

Chronic pain affects millions of people who've been told their symptoms are just from stress. They've tried relaxation techniques, stress management, and lifestyle changes, but nothing really seems to work. They're left feeling stuck, exhausted, and frustrated that their body just won't heal. But why does the body stay in pain even when the injury has healed? In this episode, Dr. Aimie look at what most people believe about chronic pain. Instead of blaming stress, she shows how chronic pain actually comes from trauma stored in the body, and explores what's really going on and why this matters so much for healing. Drawing from her own experience with chronic shoulder pain after a collarbone fracture, Dr. Aimie explains how her body was storing trauma, not just stress. Even after surgery and treatments, the pain wouldn't go away until she discovered what was really happening in her body. You'll discover the difference between stress and trauma responses, why your body might be stuck in a chronic trauma response, and the hidden biochemical imbalances that make some people more likely to develop chronic pain. You'll learn: [1:45] Why stress does NOT cause chronic pain (and what actually does!) [5:20] The critical line of overwhelm that turns stress into trauma [11:34] What happens in the nervous system when you feel trapped and powerless [16:33] Why unresolved trauma keeps your body stuck in a danger response [21:15] The role of biochemical imbalances and why they increase pain sensitivity [26:06] How oxidative stress and mitochondria contribute to functional freeze [30:12] The hidden link between copper excess, anxiety, and chronic pain [34:52] Practical steps to repair your biology and help your body feel safe again Whether you're someone struggling with chronic pain or a practitioner seeking better tools to help clients, this episode reveals why understanding trauma biology, not just stress management, is the key to breaking free from chronic pain and reclaiming your life.   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.

Many people get stuck on their healing journey. They feel lost and confused. They've spent years in therapy, tried meditation, read all the books but still feel like they're just surviving instead of truly living. This is way more common than we would like to believe, and quite discouraging for those dealing with stress, burnout, or old emotional wounds. Even when you know you're safe, your body might still feel like it's in danger.  That's because healing isn't just about mindset, it's about your nervous system. And most healing methods skip the steps your body actually needs to feel safe at the nervous system level. In this episode, Dr. Aimie explains why one often gets stuck and what the nervous system really needs to move from overwhelm and a functional freeze into calm aliveness. You'll learn how the body experiences a trauma, why it holds on even for years after, and the step-by-step roadmap to give it what it needs to engage its own healing mechanisms. You'll learn more on: [1:46] Why many people avoid connecting with their body and stay “in their head” [4:05] How to tell if you're disconnected from your body [5:48] What happens in your body during a trauma response (and how it can get stuck) [8:48] Why just telling yourself “you're safe” doesn't make your body believe it [12:49] The hidden equation your nervous system uses to decide if you're still in danger [15:49] The surprising trait that can block healing   [18:16] Common signs you're in shutdown mode [21:51] The 3 major roadblocks that can slow down healing [22:52] Why you need cycles of stress and rest to heal [27:36] The 3-phase healing roadmap [29:32] How emotional healing works just like physical healing—and why skipping steps keeps you stuck Whether you're working on your own healing or helping others, this episode gives you the missing piece to understand what's really going on in the body and how to finally move forward.   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Steps to Identify and Heal Trauma - A Roadmap for Healing - Find out what trauma is, how to recognize it, and get simple steps to help you heal in this 23-page guide.

Has the weigh-in woman at Weight Watchers shaped your concept of God? Today's episode was inspired when Heather heard a story of a woman whose body image issues and eating disorders could be traced back to the ever-present mental image of the weigh- in person at Weight Watchers. That woman either smiled or frowned, depending on what kind of week the person stepping on the scale had. But, have we twisted this kind of definition of success or failure, sin or holiness on to our infinite God? Is God pleased when we lose weight? Or, is that a concept that doesn't really connect with what we know of our all glorious heavenly father? This episode will make you think and may challenge you to re-evaluate who you believe God is and what you believe about him.

Many people push others away while desperately craving connection. Others battle chronic pain, digestive issues, or autoimmune conditions that seem to have no clear cause. But why is this? The answer often lies in unresolved childhood attachment trauma, specifically the experiences we had before we had words to make sense of them. This is why someone can have what looks like a good childhood but still struggle with anxiety, digestive problems, chronic pain, or autoimmune issues as an adult. The body remembers what the mind has forgotten. In this episode, Dr. Aimie breaks down the biology of early emotional pain and how it becomes stored in the body as chronic symptoms later in life. You'll discover the six core attachment wounds, why the body learns to stay in survival mode, how unresolved early trauma shapes your nervous system, immune system, and relationships in adulthood,  and most importantly, how to become your own safe person. You'll learn: [2:08] Why babies need to be held to survive and what happens when they're not [8:45] How to recognize if "it's not safe to relax" is your core attachment pattern [11:35] The health impacts of early attachment trauma [15:20]How fear becomes stored in the body as inflammation and chronic illness [20:49] The six core attachment wounds that shape our nervous system and relationships [25:30] How childhood wounds create the belief "I'm not capable" and lead to chronic overwhelm [30:08] The surprising link between people-pleasing and chronic pain [32:45] How brain fog, histamine intolerance, and depression can stem from attachment wounds [37:50] The three-phase roadmap to safely heal stored trauma in the body Whether you're someone living with unexplained chronic health issues or a practitioner supporting clients who seem stuck, this episode will help you understand the deep connection between childhood trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and adult symptoms and what it really takes to heal.   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.

“Nature positive is people positive. Without harmony with nature, there won't be a bright future for people.” This week, Thomas Hübl sits down with Marco Lambertini, the Convener of the Nature Positive Initiative, to explore humanity's deep, inherent connection to nature, what's at stake if climate destruction continues to accelerate, and what we can do to stop it. Marco's Nature Positive movement is working on actionable measures to reverse nature loss by 2030, bringing more forests, fish, and healthy ecosystems back to our planet. Despite the massive challenges we're facing, he believes that we have the understanding, technology, and means to achieve this goal, but we can't do it without both personal and systemic transformation. The future of our planet's ecosystem is intrinsically linked to our own well-being, economy, and future. This discussion is a powerful call to action, reminding us that this generation holds the historic opportunity to put humanity on a completely different, more harmonious course.   ✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

When was the last time that you truly felt so safe that you had no anxiety, no fear, or insecurity for the future? Many people feel like they're always waiting for disaster to strike. Their body stays stressed even when nothing bad is happening.  If this sounds like you or those you help, here's why it happens and what you can do about it. The answer lies in understanding how early life experiences wire our nervous system for survival rather than safety.  When we get overwhelmed and can't find our way back to feeling okay, it's a sign our bodies get stuck in danger mode. This mode can last for years or even decades, affecting everything from our health to our relationships.  In this episode, Dr. Aimie dives into why the body might feel constantly on edge and explains the 3 key factors that make past experiences stick with us.You'll discover simple methods to calm the nervous system and start feeling more secure in life. You'll learn more on: [2:01] The three key elements that create overwhelming experiences: feeling overwhelmed, powerless, and in disbelief [11:54] Understanding the critical line of overwhelm and why we cross it daily  [15:30] How early childhood experiences and generational trauma patterns contribute to nervous system wiring [18:45] The difference between "too much, too fast" and "too little, too long"  [21:54] How to recognize survival patterns versus safety patterns  [25:12] The first essential step to rewiring the nervous system [28:30] Why creating safety must come before processing difficult emotions [32:15] Practical somatic tools you can use immediately when you notice stress and overwhelm Whether you struggle with constant worry, can't seem to relax, or feel like you're always bracing for impact, this episode will help you understand what's happening in your body and give you practical steps to change it.   Guides, Tools & Resources: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.

Can we approach discomfort and tension as opportunities for growth? Can humanity mature beyond divisive conflict? This week, Thomas is joined by much loved returning guest, NYT bestselling author, and the host of the podcast, Pulling the Thread, Elise Loehnen, to hash out the concerning fragmentation that feels inescapable right now and explore what we can do to combat it. As we face past and current collective traumas, massive information overload, and current events that overwhelm our nervous systems, it's not hard to see how we got here.  Thomas and Elise offer hopeful frameworks for navigating these challenges and bolstering our ability to hold tension, engage in mature disagreement, and ultimately, re-humanize each other through deeper understanding and self-regulation.  This goes beyond surface-level “wellness” to incorporate psychological, spiritual, and practical approaches that we can adopt to build a stronger foundation for our individual and collective futures. It's an inspiring conversation that we hope you'll tune in for. ✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

Thomas explores the foundational spiritual building blocks of life, with a particular focus on the concept of space. More than just a void that we occupy physically, space is a key element of life that we co-create. And we need space—for reflection, digestion, integration, and nervous system regulation. Get a bigger picture perspective on your spiritual journey and learn essential tools for connecting to your inner wisdom, resilience, compassion, and intelligence. ✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

In this summer replay, Heather digs into this common sentiment, "I just want to feel good" or "I just want to feel okay" about my body. What's wrong with wanting a body you can be "proud of?" She explores how this is a struggle for many women who wrestle to feel confident about their bodies. They don't want to look like supermodels. Instead, they want to feel okay to be in the skin they're in. But what is this desire to have a body that you can feel good in or good about? Could the core of this issue be something you'd never expect? Heather digs into an unusual biblical concept, that is, boasting. Not that we want to tell other people that we are great, but instead, perhaps we want our bodies to tell our story for us. Do we want our bodies to tell everyone who sees us that we know how to take care of our bodies well? That we know the secrets to fitness or weight loss? Or, that we are just really good at making our bodies look their best? It's a concept few of us have spent a lot of time thinking about it. Heather walks through some fantastic teaching on the topic of boasting taken from Romans 3:27-31 and shows us how we can find a place to boast that is far better than the appearance or weight of our bodies. Anything you look at and say, "This is where my value is," can become an idol. Listen, be encouraged and exhorted today.

"Neuroception is what determines our response to everything in any moment of our life. It is not based on reality. It is based on one's perception.” – Dr. Aimie Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to stick to healthy habits, even when you know they'll help you feel better? Or why those you help can't seem resistant to their treatment plan?   The truth is, it's not about willpower or motivation. Deep inside the body, there's an invisible security system constantly asking one question: "Am I safe right now, or am I in danger?" This system is called neuroception, and it's been quietly running your life without you knowing it. When this internal alarm system thinks you're in danger, even when you're perfectly safe, it can make your body reject the very things that would help you heal. Supplements feel overwhelming. Diet changes seem impossible. Exercise feels like too much. Your body isn't being difficult. In fact, it's actually trying to protect you! In this episode, Dr. Aimie breaks down neuroception and shows you exactly how to work with your nervous system instead of against it. You'll discover why some days you feel motivated and capable, while other days everything feels overwhelming, and most importantly, what you can do about it. You'll learn: The simple equation your body uses to decide if you're safe or in danger Why your body sometimes rejects healthy changes (Hint: it's not your fault!) The three different states your nervous system operates in How to tell which state you're in right now Simple body-based techniques to shift into a state of safety Why addressing oxidative stress is crucial for lasting change How to create an environment where healing actually feels possible And more! Whether you're someone struggling to maintain healthy habits or a practitioner working with people who seem "resistant" to treatment, this episode will completely change how you understand behavior, motivation, and the healing process.   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.

What is Polyvagal Theory and how does it explain the science of feelings? This week, Thomas sits down with Dr. Stephen Porges, a professor, author, and the originator of Polyvagal Theory. Dr. Porges' theory offers radical yet practical methods for calming our physical (or “biobehavioral”) states so that our mind can follow suit. Traditionally, the opposite approach has been the norm, but research increasingly indicates that the body should lead the charge. In this conversation, it's made clear that safety, connection, and co-regulation are essential for this type of nervous system regulation. Thomas and Dr. Porges explore what's needed to create an environment that supports healing, and how Polyvagal Theory enhances our ability to handle crises and heal trauma, anxiety, and physical ailments linked to nervous system dysregulation. Dr. Porges also shares a cutting-edge acoustic technique for trauma healing that could lead to a real paradigm shift in psychology and therapy.   ✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

Heather interviews author and speaker, Abby McDonald about her new book, "Surrendering Certainty: Hearing God Today By Letting Go of Tomorrow." Abby and Heather talk about how we can hear and receive direction from God even if we're not sure how things will work out. They talk about the challenge of wanting to know the future and Abby reminds listeners that we were never intended to carry that kind of knowledge. They also discuss why it's so hard to hear the voice of the Lord when we have thousands of other voices shouting at us from every direction. If you've ever felt overwhelmed with fear about making a decision or if you doubt, second-guess, and question whether or not that's God's voice you are hearing--this episode is for you.

Many people spend years in therapy and still struggle to feel truly safe in relationships. But why is this? The answer lies in the body. You can understand your trauma, but still feel unsafe. Oxytocin helps turn that understanding into actual feelings of safety in your body. Known as nature's most powerful anti-inflammatory, oxytocin plays a vital role in regulating the nervous system, forming secure connections, and shifting the body out of survival mode. In this episode, Dr. Aimie is joined by world-renowned oxytocin expert Dr. Sue Carter to discuss how this hormone holds the key to healing trauma, creating genuine safety, and forming secure connections. Dr. Carter has studied oxytocin for over four decades and reveals why this hormone is essential for moving from survival to thriving. In this conversation you hear why traditional talk therapy alone often falls short, how early life experiences program our capacity for connection, and practical tools for naturally increasing oxytocin to create a felt sense of safety in your body. You'll learn more about: How early attachment experiences shape your nervous system and relationships The difference between vasopressin and oxytocin in the stress response How trauma and chronic stress disrupt your ability to feel safe, even in loving relationships Why oxytocin is nature's “fire extinguisher” for inflammation and chronic illness Practical tools to support healing and regulate your nervous system And more! Whether you're a practitioner or someone navigating your own healing journey, this episode offers evidence-based insights into how your body creates its own pharmacy of healing hormones and why safety in relationships is the biological foundation for all healing   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Want to know more about the Safe and Sound Protocol mentioned in the episode?

“The person doesn't have a soul, the soul has a person.” This week, Thomas goes deep in a spiritual teaching that explores the essence of the soul—an energy field that enfolds our consciousness and our life and is fundamentally connected to the collective and the planet.  Through embodied spiritual practice, we can become spacious enough to let in divine light, ground it in the physical world, and open ourselves to subtle capacities and deeper sensing. Using these practices, we also become more resilient to challenges, and can face uncertainty with creative energy instead of anxiety. Thomas also shares how embodied presence is essential to healing and helps to repair the fragmentation that trauma creates.   ✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:
