Send us a textThe quiet after the last suitcase leaves can feel like a freefall—or a doorway. We lean into that threshold with Kate Battistelli, author of The After Party of the Empty Nest: Mom Isn't Your Only Name, to reframe the empty nest as an after-party —a time to honor the first act of mothering and step into a purposeful, hope-filled second act. Kate shares the heart behind her directive, “Mom is not your only name,” and why your next chapter isn't smaller—it's just different, and often deeper.Together, we explore the three “bird” archetypes that map this transition—the quick-pivot swallow, the grieving mourning dove, and the balanced robin—so you can name where you are and choose what's next. Kate's story illustrates how courage grows when we respond to quiet nudges with small, faithful steps. We discuss dreaming with the Father without shrinking your desires, finding an “empty next” that builds the kingdom, and utilizing the margins of your day to prepare for new work, study, service, or creative callings.If this episode encourages you, please follow, share it with a friend who's nearing the transition, and leave a quick review so more moms can find the courage to start their after party.Download the Intro and First Chapter of The After Party of the Empty Nest: Text AFTERPARTY to 44144.Visit Kate's website: Kate BattistelliLearn more about Kate's book: The After Party of the Empty NestSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores how you can drop the burden of proving, performing, and perfecting and know your true value.Have you ever believed that your worth must be earned, proven, or validated by others? Do you often find yourself chasing approval, striving to be “good enough,” only to end up exhausted and unfulfilled? Do you sometimes hear the voice of your Inner Child whispering, “Will I ever be enough just as I am?”David unpacks these questions and offers a gentle path back to the truth of who you already are. The Tao teaches that just as rivers flow and mountains stand tall without needing permission or applause, we too are worthy by our existence. There is nothing we must do to earn this worth.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks Xavier Roman shared his journey of discovering his healing abilities at age five, when he healed a crying mother and child by channeling a white light. He recounted his near-death experience during appendicitis surgery, where he observed the operation and brought himself back to life. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/xavier-roman Highlights from today's episode include: Xavier discovered his healing abilities as a child and continued to develop them, often helping others without revealing his gift. Xavier explains a near-death experience profoundly shaped his understanding of healing, and he now demonstrates his energy healing process to help others, as shown during the podcast. Manon reflects on the healing process, emphasizing the importance of the healer-client relationship and the integration of energetic and traditional therapies for holistic health. ABOUT XAVIER ROMAN: My name is Xavier, and I can heal people facing any physical, emotional, or mental health concerns with in-person and distance healing. My healing abilities emerged at age five and heightened when my mom was in a near-death car accident. That experience allowed me to use my healing capabilities to support her healing journey. My gift of channeling energy to heal became stronger after I experienced an NDE & Near-Death Experience; during emergency surgery in July 2010. I flat lined, witnessed my surgery, and heard the surgeon and assistants as they scattered to bring me back to life. Since then, my body and mind healing techniques have continued to strengthen and emerge. I've met with and continue to help people on a national basis. People with chronic pain, undiagnosed and diagnosed health issues, mental health issues, and more. I've also supported individuals who were told they would pass away due to various medical conditions and restored them back to stable health conditions. Although I've never announced my healing abilities at great lengths to others, I've been guided to do so now. I truly feel called to connect with those needing healing more than ever. People may think you need to be a saint or a mystical figure to perform healing. However, I have been presented with this gift and have received thousands of testimonials from my clients on transformations that have occurred through and after healing sessions with me. I welcome the billions of people on this planet to have hope and welcome the power of energy healing into their lives.

There's a reason the stress never really leaves your body, because most of us never actually face it. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Amy Vincze for a deeply honest conversation about the emotional roots of chronic pain, the weight of unspoken trauma, and how tapping can help you finally release what you've been holding onto for way too long.Amy shares how tapping therapy (EFT) became a lifeline for her and her clients—a practice that goes beyond surface-level stress relief and helps regulate the nervous system, lower cortisol, and make space for emotional truth. Together, they dive into the connection between emotional overwhelm and physical pain, the fear of slowing down, and the way we've been taught to normalize struggle instead of heal from it.This conversation also touches on the chakra system as a map for both emotional and physical symptoms, and why addressing foundational fears is crucial for lasting change. Healing, they remind us, isn't always pretty, but it's worth it. And it often starts with giving yourself permission to feel what you've been avoiding.Tune in if you're ready to stop pushing through and start listening to what your body's been trying to say all along.Find Amy Vincze Online Here:Website: soarwithtapping.comInstagram: @soarwithtappingLinkedIn: Amy VinczeTikTok: @soarwithtappingYouTube: Soar With TappingFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(02:10) Exploring Tapping and Emotional Freedom Techniques(09:46) Understanding Chakras and Their Role in Healing(17:47) Navigating Trauma and Foundational Fears(22:39) Guided Tapping Session for Stress Relief(39:54) Conclusion and Resources for Healing

Self-care doesn't have to be a time-consuming process. We'll share tips on simple practices—mindfulness, nutrition, physical activity, and setting boundaries—that can be seamlessly integrated into your daily life to support mental and physical health.

She explores how stress, hormones, and lifestyle habits influence lymphatic flow and overall vitality, especially for women navigating midlife. You'll learn why symptoms like bloating, swelling, or shifting pain may be rooted in lymphatic congestion, and how movement, touch, and self-care can make a profound difference. This episode is all about empowering you to take charge of your health by supporting your body's natural detox and healing systems. ✨ What You'll Learn in This Episode: The crucial role of the lymphatic system in detoxification How stress hinders lymphatic drainage and circulation Why movement is non-negotiable for healthy lymph flow The impact of hormonal changes on women's midlife health Signs of lymphatic congestion you shouldn't ignore Simple at-home techniques to promote lymphatic drainage How touch and manual therapies support lymph health The mind-body connection between emotions and lymphatic health Why self-care is your best tool for prevention and healing
In this episode, Coach Justin, Coach Amanda, and her husband Anthony discuss Anthony's journey with antidepressants and the process of coming off those medications. They also cover getting your hormones checked and the link between depression and low hormones, and the difference that testosterone replacement therapy can make. They explore the initial reasons for starting antidepressants, the realization of dependency, and the challenges faced when transitioning off these medications. They discuss the emotional turmoil that often accompanies detox, the numbing effects of SSRIs on life experiences, and the long term effects and addictive nature that Doctors don't usually warn people about. They also touch on the role of nutrition, exercise, and journaling in the withdrawal process, and what to expect from a physical and emotional perspective. They even dive into some simple protocols for coming off these types of medications and go in depth on Anthony's personal experience. Anthony is just one example of many people who are given an anti-depressant by a Doctor that they trust, without ever running a proper hormone panel, suggesting lifestyle interventions, or warning them of the addictive nature. This is just a small piece of a much larger discussion, but one that needs to be talked about more. Anti-depressants don't have to be for life, and can be worked off of safely with the proper guidance.

It's easy to think that some people are empathetic while others are not. And it's true that empathy comes more instinctively to some than others. But did you know that Jesus created your brain for empathy? This means that all of us naturally long to share the experience of being seen and known by God and each other.Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi discuss the gift of mirror neurons — brain cells that help us "feel with" those around us. You'll learn how to partner with Jesus to reflect the thoughts and feelings of others back to them by asking curious questions, attuning to their emotions, and being a warm presence.Resources for this Episode:Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for YouAttend a Soul Shepherding RetreatMeet with a Soul Shepherding Spiritual DirectorDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

In this episode, Dr. Robert Whitfield speaks with Kate Middleton, better known as KB, a toxic-free lifestyle advisor and host of Toxic Free with KB. Her personal experience with autoimmune issues, mold exposure, and stress-related burnout shaped her commitment to helping others reduce toxic load and live more intentionally. Dr. Whitfield and KB discuss the mental strain of toxic perfectionism, the overlooked impact of decision fatigue, and how choosing simplicity can support long-term balance. They explore the role of intuition in wellness decisions, how kb reframed toxic relationships, and why incremental progress often matters more than drastic change. KB also shares her lived experience with Raynaud's and offers practical strategies for managing daily exposures through small, actionable habits. This conversation is a grounded reminder that reducing toxins is not about perfection. It is about saying no, tuning in, and making sustainable, informed choices. Growing up in Kansas City and identifying hidden toxic exposures Learning to recognize emotional and relational toxicity Why education tools like EWG and Yuka help make informed choices Using grounding, nature, and intuition to simplify wellness Personal insights on Raynaud's and managing chronic conditions The importance of boundaries and moving away from people-pleasing Everyday strategies to support detoxification pathways "You don't have to overhaul everything at once.

In this episode, Justin and Abi explore how emotional health, once rooted in compassion, can begin to mirror the rigid structures of religion. They unpack how judgment, superiority, and performative belonging often hijack tools meant for connection and healing. With honesty and humor, they reflect on how emotional health can lead us toward love and humility, yet sometimes becomes a weapon of shame and exclusion. Through personal stories and cultural insight, they invite listeners to ask: Am I using emotional tools to connect, or to separate? This conversation is a call back to compassion, nuance, and the kind of boundaries that don't require someone else to be “bad” for us to feel safe.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, takes a candid look at the hidden mental health battles many first responders fight (Amazon Affiliate) while appearing perfectly fine on the outside. The discipline, structure, and professionalism that make them effective in the field often double as masks—concealing anxiety, depression, trauma, or burnout from colleagues, family, and even themselves. Defining “High-Functioning” Struggles: How success and competence can hide serious internal distress. The difference between coping and truly healing. Why First Responders Mask Symptoms: Cultural pressure to appear unshakable. Fear of stigma, career repercussions, or losing trust. The Role of Routine in Concealment: How structure and discipline can maintain outward stability. Why routines can become a crutch instead of a lifeline. The Cumulative Toll of Silent Struggles: The long-term health risks of untreated anxiety, depression, or trauma. The emotional cost on family relationships and personal well-being. The Danger of Self-Deception: How “I'm fine” becomes a habit, even to oneself. Why high-functioning doesn't mean healthy functioning. Strategies to Recognize and Address the Issue: Normalize Conversations Around Mental Health: Peer leaders and supervisors openly sharing their own experiences. Look for Micro-Signs in Yourself and Others: Changes in sleep, irritability, withdrawal, or overworking. Encourage Early Check-Ins, Not Crisis Interventions: Making mental health maintenance as routine as physical training. Use Trusted, Confidential Resources: Peer support, vetted therapists, or off-the-record consultations. Reframe Help-Seeking as Tactical Strength: Position mental wellness as part of operational readiness. This episode is a reminder that a polished uniform and a strong performance in the field don't always mean someone is okay—and that the bravest thing a responder can do might be to take off the mask.
In this week's message from our Failure to Thrive series, Pastor Gary explores why so many of us struggle to live with the joy God intended for His children. Just as physical growth can stall when a child experiences “failure to thrive,” our spiritual growth can falter when we lack proper emotional health.Jesus said in John 16:24, “Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.” The normal Christian life is meant to be one filled with joy, peace, and growth in the fruit of the Spirit. But what happens when sadness or discouragement becomes our constant state?Pastor Gary helps us see that God is daily inviting us into a life of joy—through simple moments, His creation, and His promises. Drawing on stories, Scripture, and even the playful “Di Da Day” dance of a child, we are reminded that joy is not something we stumble into but something we train for under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores the gentle, often misunderstood power of being humble.Have you ever thought that being humble makes you weak? Do you find yourself confused between setting healthy boundaries and being submissive? Or perhaps you wonder if humility and ambition can ever walk the same path? Humility is often mistaken for invisibility in a world that values noise, boldness and assertion. You'll learn how humility isn't about hiding but revealing our quiet strength. True humility in Taoism is not about shrinking ourselves or surrendering our values. It is about recognising our place in the vast rhythm of the Cosmos. Read the blog post that inspired this episode: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/the-softness-of-humility-a-path-toOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

In this episode, you’ll learn about the powerful role of friendship and connection in promoting physical, emotional, and even cognitive longevity. I sit down with longtime (40 years long!) friends Christy and Ana from the Girl, Can You Talk? podcast to explore their BOND method—Be Open, Offer Invitations, Nurture Consistency, and Deepen Through Vulnerability—a simple, intentional approach to building real relationships that help you live better, feel better, and not feel alone. This show is great if you want to learn more about how connection impacts your health, why friendships can be more than just brunch buddies, and how simple things like sending a voice memo or asking a friend, “have you been outside today?” can literally change someone’s day. You’ll hear relatable, heartwarming (and often hilarious) real-life stories about perimenopause, empty nest syndrome, and navigating one-sided friendships. Christy and Ana share how getting in front of people, even just once a week for coffee, can turn into something meaningful—and how just one close friend can make a life-changing difference. If you want practical tools, some good laughs, and an important reminder about the importance of building and maintaining social connections, this episode is for you! TIMESTAMPS: Sometimes we forget that friendship and connection are very important to our overall health. [01:03] Having a society inundated with the internet has changed the way people relate. [07:07] Your relationships at 50 predict your health and longevity and happiness at 80 [10:39] B is for be open. O is for offer invitations. N is for nurture, consistency, and D is deepen through vulnerability. [13:11] Loneliness is the new smoking as far as damage is concerned. [15:45] You need to learn how to engage. [21:15] There are methodical steps one can take to learn how to engage with people. B is for be open. [24:00] O is for offering invitations without fear of rejection. Think about including someone with something you are already doing. [32:41] N is nurturing consistency through intentional habits. [40:49] Deepen your connection through vulnerability. [44:25] What if your friendship feels unbalanced.? You give more than you receive. [49:08] Be inquisitive. You learn a lot that way.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, sheds light on the hidden sacrifices that first responder families (Amazon Affiliate) make every single day. While spouses and children never signed up for the job, they still feel the ripple effects of shift work, emotional strain, and the unpredictability that comes with life in service.
