Podcasts about discouraged

On today's solo episode, I'm answering a powerful listener-submitted question from Rachel about one of the most talked-about topics in weight loss right now: Ozempic. If you're committed to doing things the natural way — focusing on real protein, fiber, strength training, and sustainable habits — but feeling discouraged watching others drop weight quickly with the help of medications, you're not alone. That frustration is real, and I hear it all the time. In this episode, I'm having an honest conversation about weight loss medications and what it really means to stay in your own lane. I'm also sharing five hard but important truths I always tell my clients—truths that will reframe your mindset, refocus your energy, and remind you that your results do matter… even if they're happening slower. If you've ever thought, “Why am I doing all this work when everyone else is getting there faster?” — this episode is for you. 1:1 Coaching with Lauren and Our Team of Dietitians: HERE To connect with Lauren, click HERE Submit your question for advice from Lauren on the show HERE Take the free Weight Loss Personality Quiz HERE Shop Our Meal Plans HERE Get Support & Personally Work With Us HERE Related Episodes:

192  If there has been one major underlying concept that I have woven into nearly every episode of this podcast, it is the concept of emotional delegation (or its opposite, emotional agency). BUT I've never made a podcast episode solely dedicated to making sure you understand this concept. So today is the day! I made this episode to clearly define emotional delegation for you, and help you see how it may be playing into your relationship challenges, and so you can start the journey of letting it go — because it is really the #1 underlying habit that pretty much EVERYONE falls into that hurts our relationships (and you're not going to hear about on many other relationship podcasts. I truly can't understand why this gets left out so often, because it is pretty much everything when it comes to marriage problems!)So listen in to learn:What emotional delegation is and how it completely disempowers you in your relationship.Where emotional delegation comes from (hint, both nature and nurture) and why pretty much everyone does it.Signs of what it looks like, so you can recognize if you may have this habit.Why understanding it is so important.Why emotional delegation is so detrimental, and the specific tolls that it takes on you and your relationship.My own personal stories of how it has affected me and my relationships.And what happens when you learn to stop emotional delegating, and step into its opposite: emotional agency.  As you recognize that you are emotionally delegating, you hand yourself, and your marriage, a huge win. When you stop doing it, and begin to step into emotional agency, instead, you empower yourself even more, and give your relationship the very best chance to become the truly loving one you have always wanted. So don't miss this essential episode. SHOW NOTES:Join Hannah for 4 months of private 1:1 Marriage Coaching, and get her deep, super individualized support to make your marriage more full of security, connection, love, and mutual support than ever.

We live in a world where false teachers abound. Sometimes, these false teachers grow in popularity because they give peppy, upbeat messages people want to hear. But today as we study Jeremiah 5, we'll see that avoiding the difficult messages of sin and judgment can lead to the spiritual decay of the people. Join us in this key chapter as we dive further into this important book of prophecy! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    If you have just read Jeremiah 5, how did it leave you? Encouraged? Discouraged? Why?  2.    This chapter discusses the kinds of sins the people were engaging in plus the kinds of judgment they would face. What do you think are some good reasons to avoid sin?  3.    What is the Lord's challenge to the people in verse 1? What is God's offer? What do you expect would have been the people's response to this challenge and offer?  4.    What were the people seeming to say in verse 2? How did the Lord regard these words?  5.    What social classes are discussed in both verses 4 and 5? What is God's indictment of both?  6.    What hazards will the people face in verse 6? What does this indicate about the Lord's removal of His protective hand? What reason is given in verse 6? Why would this affect their ability to prosper under the Lord's protective care? 7.    What kinds of sins are spoken of in verses 7 to 11? What kind of society had formed among the people? What kind of society should they have formed?  8.    Read verses 12 &13. What were the prophets saying? What does the Lord say about the message of the prophets? Do you any pastors or preachers still do this today? If so, what does it look like?  9.    Read verse 14. How does Jeremiah's message in verse 14 contrast with the prophet's messages in verse 14? Which do you think would be more pleasant and popular? Which message was actually from the Lord? 10.    What is the Lord warning about in verse 15 – 17? What will happen?  11.    Verse 18 gives a glimmer of hope. What is that hope and why is that important for us to remember about God's ultimate plan for the Children of Israel?  12.    What kind of spiritual receptivity did the people have towards the Lord in verses 20 to 24? How does verse 25 help us understand why God's rebuke had so little impact on them? What principle can we learn for our own life about our need to walk in paths of righteousness?  13.    What further description does the Lord give of the people in verses 26 to 29? Are there any similar parallels to some people in our world today?  14.    Verse 31 gives a profound summary of the message of false teachers. What is the authority of a false teacher? What is (sometimes) the response of the people to their message? What might it look like for a false teacher, today, to teach on their own authority? How does this serve to warn us to have discernment with those teachers whom we listen to? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

You're tired. Stressed. Discouraged. And you're wondering why life still feels so heavy—even when you're doing “all the right things.” In this message, Pastor Eric Thomas challenges you to stop just coming to church and start using what God gave you. God is not just powerful—He's personal. The same God who created the galaxies created you… and He has features you're not tapping into. Stop fighting with your own strength. Let the Good Shepherd carry you.

"Why my soul are you so downcast? Why so disturbed within me?" (Psalm 43:5)

Have you ever battled that sinking feeling of discouragement while trying to change your relationship with alcohol? That overwhelming sense that maybe your efforts don't matter, that progress seems impossible, or that your excuses are simply too powerful to overcome?In this deeply vulnerable episode, I share my recent struggle with discouragement in my own ministry. Despite years of helping women find freedom from alcohol dependence, I found myself questioning if my work was making any difference—if anyone even cared about the message of alcohol freedom. This raw conversation reveals how discouragement functions not just as an emotion, but as one of the enemy's most powerful weapons against our growth and freedom.Discouragement thrives on fear, doubt, and obstacles. It zeroes in on our vulnerabilities and tries to blind us to the truth of who we are and whose we are. The enemy wants us to fixate on our failures, forget God's goodness, and believe we're incapable of meaningful change. But there's profound hope in recognizing this spiritual attack for what it is.Whether you're just beginning to question your relationship with alcohol or you're well along your sobriety journey, this episode offers comfort, solidarity, and practical wisdom for those moments when discouragement threatens to derail your progress. Remember: God's grace is sufficient, His power is made perfect in weakness, and with His help, you can push through even the toughest days.Walking with Purpose Catholic Women's Bible Study: https://walkingwithpurpose.com/bible-study/Drop us a Question or CommentBreak free from alcohol with Christ-centered guidance, community support, and powerful tools.

Hello to you Indivisible Whidbey activists listening  in Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Greenbank, Freeland, Langley, Bayview, and Clinton on Whidbey Island, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.  On Friday 18th April, 2025 I posted my 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday episode entitled “What Difference Can 1 Ordinary Person Make?” about Granny D Haddock who walked across America in her 90th year to bring attention to campaign finance reform. Click HERE to access that episode.As Granny D walked across America she was asked to speak at rallies, churches, community gatherings, and the like. The following is a short piece from a speech Granny D delivered at the Buck Jackson Rodeo Arena in Pecos, Texas on May 14th, 1999:“Never be discouraged from being an activist because people tell you that you'll not succeed. You have already succeeded if you're out there representing truth or justice or compassion or fairness or love. You already have your victory because you are changing the world; you are changing the status quo; you are changing the chemistry of things. And changes will spread from you, will be easier to happen again in others because of you because, believe it or not you with your activism are the center of the world.”  CTA: Maybe like me you are coming to realize that activist work is not a job, but a calling to work together. We are called to work together to make the world a better place for all of us doing what we can with what we have for as long as we are needed.Thank you for listening and being one of us!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"
