In this raw and reflective episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, I'm closing out Mental Health Awareness Month with a deep dive into what it really means to heal—not just emotionally, but spiritually. If you've been silently battling anxiety, depression, or negative thoughts, this one is for you.I share how my own experience with emotional torment exposed the real battle—not just in my mind, but in my spirit and soul. While the world may offer therapy and coping strategies, I explain why true peace and mental clarity can only come through a relationship with Jesus Christ.You'll hear what it looks like to live in alignment with your spiritual identity, how I learned to separate myself from the inner critic, and why so many of us are tired because we've tried to fix mental health with everything except faith.Topics Covered:The difference between mental health challenges and mental illnessWhy the spirit-soul-body framework matters for healingHow I learned to confront my negative inner voice with truthWhy spiritual warfare often disguises itself as emotional fatigueThe power of speaking the Word of God to silence fear and shameLessons Learned:Healing doesn't come by numbing your pain—it comes by naming it and surrendering it.You have authority over depression and anxiety through Christ.Not all tiredness is physical—some of it is spiritual disconnection.You can't fight a spiritual battle with emotional tools.God's Word isn't just comfort—it's your strategy.

Inspired by the Netflix series "Adolescence," this episode unpacks the subtle yet significant ways our unresolved childhood pain impacts our ability to connect with and truly support our kids.

As part of our ongoing series about the connection between menstrual cycle awareness and our health & wellbeing today we're exploring how getting to know your cycle can be a vital foundation for mental and emotional health.Alexandra and Sjanie are both retired therapists, and today they share their learnings from their own personal cycle awareness practice, as well as working with thousands of students over several decades about how mental and emotional health rests on us knowing ourselves, feeling our value and worth, and understanding the nature of cyclicity - all of which are skills we learn from connecting to our cycles. We also explore how the root of much of our collective menstrual and emotional turmoil as women and people who have, or have had cycles is the cultural denial, shutting down, ignoring, belittling, and suppression of our cyclical nature. We explore:Alexandra's personal journey with dissolving the shame of her early years and claiming her worth through cycle awareness and menopause, so that now she is emotionally resilient to the extent that she is immune to toxic shame.The two stable poles of the menstrual cycle, and the two transitional phases and how to work with them all to understand ourselves better and create emotional and psychological wellbeing. How following the call to stop and rest at menstruation is medicinal for us emotionally and psychologically. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

In this episode, Mary Greensmith chats with homeopath Mary Cosmas, who practices in London and East Sussex. Having grown up in a family of homeopaths, Mary has seen firsthand how homeopathy for anxiety and other conditions can transform lives. She now uses her knowledge to support clients, friends, and family through the power of natural healing. What Is Anxiety from a Homeopathic View? Mary explains that anxiety often stems from a fear of what might happen, rather than a response to something happening right now. In homeopathy for anxiety, practitioners don't just treat the feeling itself—they explore the root causes and emotional layers behind it. This holistic approach to anxiety helps people build resilience and feel calmer even when life stays challenging. Homeopathic Treatment for Acute Anxiety When someone feels anxious suddenly—like before a speech or flight—homeopaths focus on current symptoms. Physical feelings like sweating, palpitations, or needing fresh air help narrow down the right natural remedies for anxiety. For immediate needs, a carefully matched remedy can bring natural anxiety relief quickly, calming both mind and body. Homeopathy for Chronic Anxiety If anxiety has been building for years, it's important to go deeper. Mary discusses how homeopathic treatment for anxiety involves a detailed history, exploring everything from childhood traumas to longstanding fears. Healing anxiety through homeopathy is like peeling an onion: layer by layer. Over time, this deeper work helps reset emotional responses and promotes true, lasting change—offering an effective path for how to treat anxiety naturally. How Homeopaths Find the Right Remedy Finding the right anxiety remedies involves gathering at least 5–6 symptoms. A repertory—a large reference book—lists remedies based on physical and emotional signs. Then, homeopaths cross-check in the Materia Medica, which describes full remedy profiles. This careful matching ensures a truly personalized approach, not a one-size-fits-all solution, highlighting why alternative treatments for anxiety like homeopathy are so unique. Examples of Helpful Remedies Mary and Mary discuss some well-known homeopathic remedies for stress and emotional health: Ignatia: For sudden grief and emotional shocks. Natrum Muriaticum: For silent grief and emotional walls. Pulsatilla: For clinginess, mood swings, and needing reassurance. Baryta Carbonica: For shyness and social fears, especially in children. Gelsemium and Argentum Nitricum: For performance and anticipatory anxiety. Each remedy fits a different emotional pattern, proving why choosing the right one is so important when seeking natural remedies for anxiety. Homeopathy doesn't force healing; it gently encourages the body's natural ability to recover. Healing happens at each person's unique pace, and true improvement can transform emotional wellbeing from the inside out. For anyone exploring natural anxiety relief or searching for alternative treatments for anxiety, homeopathy offers a compassionate, personalized solution.

Send us a textDr. Sandra Glahn shatters misconceptions about the goddess Artemis of Ephesus and reveals how cultural context transforms our understanding of biblical passages about women's roles in the church and family.• Artemis was not a fertility goddess but actually "nobody's mother" – a virgin huntress who was known for killing women and children.• Artemis worship dominated Ephesus during Paul's ministry there, influencing the spiritual climate he addressed in letters like 1 Timothy.• Paul's instructions in 1 Timothy address false teachings circulating in house churches, potentially connected to Artemis worship.• Paul never directly attacked Artemis by name but presented Jesus as better – a wise approach for engaging culture.• Women were created to multiply, mother, and rule – but multiplication isn't limited to biological reproduction.• The Genesis command to "be fruitful and multiply" is never repeated in the New Testament; instead, we're commanded to multiply disciples.• Women like Lydia, Priscilla, and Phoebe were key church leaders without mentioning children.• Deborah "arose a mother to Israel," showing mothering as a broader concept of spiritual nurture and leadership.Order Sandra's new book: Nobody's MotherVisit Sandra's website: Dr. Sandra GlahnSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

Send us a textThrough personal stories and theological insights, New Testament Scholar and author Sandra Glahn challenges traditional views of motherhood and explores how maternal presence can be expressed beyond biological childbearing. Her journey through multiple pregnancy losses led to profound questions about women's purpose that ultimately expanded her understanding of female calling in both family and faith communities. In this three-part series, Sandra and I talk about:• Sandra's story of growing up expecting motherhood to be her highest calling.• The identity crisis caused by experiencing eight failed pregnancies.• How the cultural ideal of stay-at-home mothering shaped women's understanding of purpose.• The theological journey that led Sandra to seminary against conventional expectations.• Jesus' words about Mary "choosing what is better" as validation for women's theological pursuits.• Examination of 1 Timothy 2:15 about women being "saved through childbearing."• The connection between the Artemis cult in Ephesus and Paul's teaching about women.• Recognition that both men and women are given spiritual gifts to benefit the entire body of Christ.• Expanding our understanding of "mothering" beyond biological definitions.Join us to explore how reframing maternal influence can unleash women's power in homes, churches, and the world.Order Sandra's new book: Nobody's MotherVisit Sandra's website: Dr. Sandra GlahnSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

What do you do when your pain becomes so intense, so overwhelming, that the only place left to turn is the emergency room—and even that doesn't feel safe?In this raw and revealing episode, Lyndsay Soprano opens up about her own lived experience with chronic pain, including CRPS and Lyme disease, and the harsh reality of seeking help in an emergency medical system that often doesn't know what to do with people like her. The ER isn't always a place of comfort—it can be cold, dismissive, and downright dangerous when you're already at your breaking point.She's joined by Dr. Jim Keany, an emergency physician who brings honesty and insight to the conversation. Together, they unpack the disconnect between chronic pain patients and emergency care providers, the emotional toll of pain that goes far beyond the physical, and the desperate need for a healthcare system that sees people as whole humans—not just symptoms.Lyndsay and Dr. Keany discuss the deeper layers of chronic pain—how trauma can amplify it, how isolation can worsen it, and how the system often misses the mark. They touch on the struggles of medication management, the power of journaling, and how tools like hypnosis can actually help. Most of all, they stress the importance of treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. With empathy, advocacy, and even a little hope, healing becomes more possible.If you've ever felt dismissed, gaslit, or broken by your pain—or by the people meant to help you, this episode is for you.Find Dr. Jim Keany Online Here:LinkedIn: Dr. Jim KeanyFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(03:04) Emergency Situations and Pain Management(05:54) The Role of Emergency Medicine in Chronic Pain(08:48) Understanding Pain: Psychological and Physical Aspects(12:00) Navigating the Healthcare System(14:57) Alternative Pain Management Strategies(17:51) The Importance of Whole Person Care(21:00) Supporting Loved Ones in Chronic Pain(23:54) The Role of Journaling in Pain Management(26:50) Global Perspectives on Pain and Suffering(30:03) Hope and Future in Pain Management

Let's talk about sex! This week, Rebekah and Gabe Lyons break the silence around the intimate side of marriage that many couples struggle to discuss. They share how growing up with "just don't do it" messages left them confused on their wedding day, and how easy it is for couples to fall into viewing sex as either a transaction or obligation rather than the beautiful connection God designed.Rebekah shares, "sex becomes loaded with pressure until it feels more comfortable to just avoid it completely." Gabe admits his own misconceptions: "I thought if I did the dishes, it would make you want to have sex with me—like you'd want to pay me back." Their candid admissions make way for practical wisdom about the differences in how men and women approach intimacy and why weekly connection correlates with the happiest marriages. This judgment-free conversation gives couples permission to start talking about expectations, barriers, and how to rediscover sex as something that should be amazing rather than a duty to endure.Order The Fight for Us:https://a.co/d/aJehu4fFree Gifts when You Order Now:Get Our Free Masterclass, Growth & Connection Toolkit, Emotional Health for Marriages Course and More at https://rebekahlyons.com/marriageTake the What's Your Dance Quiz:rebekahlyons.com/quiz

Welcome to episode #982 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Ethan Kross is one of the sharpest minds on the planet when it comes to understanding how our emotions shape our thoughts, decisions, and relationships. As a professor of psychology and business at the University of Michigan and the author of the bestselling books Chatter and Shift - Managing Your Emotions - So They Don't Manage You, Ethan brings together rigorous research and practical insight in ways that are deeply human and immediately useful. In our conversation, we explore what it takes to manage emotions in a world that feels like it's dialed up to 11 - from doomscrolling and overstimulation to the growing cultural obsession with emotional transparency. Ethan challenges some of our most common assumptions about how emotions work (no, avoidance isn't always bad; yes, anger has a place) and makes the case for building a “diverse emotional toolkit” - strategies that are flexible, personal, and context-specific. We talk about the influence of technology, how AI might fit into the future of mental wellness, and why dosing your news intake might be as important as getting your steps in. For anyone feeling like their emotions are a little closer to the surface these days, Ethan offers not just understanding - but agency. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 48:37.

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores emotional vulnerability.Have you ever wondered why you shield yourself from vulnerability? Have you convinced yourself that your protective armour keeps you safe when, in truth, it imprisons you and denies you genuine connection and growth?This episode explores how to choose openness over fear, authenticity over illusion, and freedom over self-imposed limitations. Vulnerability is an act of trust, not in others, but in yourself. It is a quiet, powerful reclamation of who you have always been.Read the blog post that inspired this episode: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/embracing-vulnerabilityOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

What does it take to maintain a thriving marriage while navigating career changes, raising children, and making major life decisions together? In this heartfelt conversation, Rebekah and Gabe Lyons welcome their longtime friends Tim and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who open up about their 23-year marriage journey. With Tim's background as an ESPN analyst and high school football coach, and Elisabeth's experience in television, the couple shares how they've learned to champion each other's dreams while creating a strong family foundation.The Hasselbecks discuss the delicate dance of supporting each other's callings through different seasons—from Tim's NFL career to Elisabeth's time on Survivor and in television. They reveal how parenting their three children has required flexibility, vulnerability, and creating a culture where "no topic is off limits." Tim and Elisabeth offer practical wisdom on building family unity through major transitions, balancing different parenting styles, and establishing the kind of trust that encourages children to turn toward their parents rather than away from them during challenging moments.Whether you're navigating career shifts, raising teens, or simply wanting to strengthen your "fight for us," this conversation offers inspiring insights on becoming each other's biggest fan and creating a family culture where everyone feels seen, known, and deeply loved.Order The Fight for Us:https://a.co/d/aJehu4fFree Gifts when You Order Now:Get Our Free Masterclass, Growth & Connection Toolkit, Emotional Health for Marriages Course and More at https://rebekahlyons.com/marriageTake the What's Your Dance Quiz:rebekahlyons.com/quiz

"Your gifts might open doors in ministry, but your emotional health and family life will determine how long you can stay in the room."In this episode, Jason and Lauren Vallotton dive into the crucial (and often overlooked) connection between emotional health, family life, and sustainable ministry. Ministry isn't just about being gifted—it's about being grounded. Whether you're a pastor, leader, or someone pursuing a call to serve, this conversation offers a timely reminder: who you are behind closed doors matters more than what you can do on stage.

This week, I'm joined by the remarkable Erling Kagge, Norwegian adventurer, philosopher and acclaimed writer. Erling is the first person to complete the "Three Poles Challenge" - reaching the North Pole, the South Pole, and the summit of Mount Everest on foot. After this record-breaking feat, Erling attended Cambridge University to study philosophy.  He's also the author of multiple best-selling books, including, Silence: In the Age of Noise and Walking: One Step at a Time. When Erling was 29, he did something most of us can't imagine - he walked alone to the South Pole for 50 days in complete silence, with no radio contact whatsoever. What started as a physical journey across ice became something far more profound - a journey into himself.  In our conversation, we explore  Why Erling believes silence is where "the world's secrets are hidden" and how finding quiet moments can help us get to know ourselves better - and appreciate others more Erling's surprising relationship with fear and how being "one with the environment" creates an unexpected sense of peace even in extreme danger - like facing a charging polar bear! The three simple origins of true gratefulness that Erling found during his expeditions: feeling warm after being cold, feeling full after being hungry and resting after exhaustion – experiences most of us rarely have in our comfortable modern lives How our experience of boredom has completely changed – from being bored because nothing is happening to feeling bored because too many things are happening at once Why Erling believes we should actually "make our lives more difficult" on purpose and how this approach helps us find meaning and satisfaction Practical ideas for bringing moments of silence into our busy lives – whether it's walking without your phone, taking the stairs instead of the lift, or just standing still for a few minutes As Erling reminds us, most of us don't realise what we're truly capable of. His encouragement to break free from limiting beliefs, to move our bodies more, and to add variety to our routines offers a practical path toward a more meaningful life.  In his words, finding fulfilment is about "finding your own North Pole" – a journey that asks us to be brave enough to face ourselves in silence.

About this Episode Ever feel like you're going through life with an invisible weight holding you back—old hurts, unspoken fears, or emotional “constipation” clogging your sense of connection with yourself and others? Many of us are conditioned to avoid our discomfort, stuff down our feelings, or simply muscle through, only to discover that real joy and closeness remain just out of reach. The struggle to feel truly seen, cared for, and emotionally vibrant isn't just personal—it's a modern epidemic. In this episode, you'll discover how to build emotional health and resilience by learning to recognize, honor, and skillfully process your feelings. Through practical analogies—like emotional “potty training”—and grounded, compassionate guidance, you'll explore why authentic emotional connection is the missing link to deeper relationships and personal well-being. Whether you're seeking more intimacy, healing old scars, or just want to feel more fully alive, this conversation offers real-world tools and gentle permission to let your feelings move—and gently transform your life from the inside out.

Do you and your spouse find yourselves having the same arguments over and over? In this episode, Rebekah and Gabe unpack the communication mistakes that keep couples stuck in painful cycles of conflict. Seemingly small word choices like "you always" and "you never" can instantly trigger defensiveness, and why your tone often communicates more than your actual words.They share vulnerable examples from their own marriage—from Gabe's direct "bottom line" style to Rebekah's emotional intensity—and how they've learned to replace judgment with curiosity. Understand why men rush to "fix" problems when women often just need to be heard, and why verbal affirmation is surprisingly powerful for both partners. You'll learn the power of "notice and naming" something you admire about your spouse this week—a small shift that can create deeper connection.Order The Fight for Us:https://a.co/d/aJehu4fFree Gifts when You Order Now:Get Our Free Masterclass, Growth & Connection Toolkit, Emotional Health for Marriages Course and More at https://rebekahlyons.com/marriageTake the What's Your Dance Quiz:rebekahlyons.com/quiz

In this week's episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy unpacks the powerful connection between personal agency and what it truly means to be a well-resourced woman. She invites listeners to consider how much of their lives they're actually claiming—and how much they've unintentionally handed over. Kris speaks directly to the millions of women who, despite having the means to choose freely, still find themselves living by someone else's rules. Whether it's from fear, conditioning, or cultural expectations, too many women wait for permission to live fully. Kris challenges listeners to stop giving their energy to toxic relationships or unworthy environments. Your attention is gold—and it's time to treat it that way. At its core, this conversation is about collective empowerment. When more women claim their voice and their power, the ripple effect can't be denied. As Kris puts it, “We change the world. And I want to change it for her over there, who can't do it by herself. She can't. But we can.” If you're ready to step into full ownership of your life, this conversation will meet you where you are and nudge you forward. Tune in and start reclaiming your power—one intentional choice at a time. Key Takeaways From This Episode Lack of Worthiness: Exploring why women allow others to make decisions for them. Role of Well-Resourced Women: Encouragement to embrace responsibility and accountability in life. Impact of Personal Choice: Decisions should be made from a place of desire, not obligation. Drawing Boundaries: Encouragement to prioritize self-attention and set boundaries. Power in Numbers: Emphasizing the collective power when women claim their personal agency.

Why do we need to look back at our past to move forward in marriage? In this meaningful episode, Rebekah and Gabe explore how unresolved childhood experiences shape our marriage conflicts today. They share that the number one trigger in marital fights is actually tone—not words—because "we sense before we make sense" of what our spouse is saying. The Lyons vulnerably discuss how Gabe's counselor once told him he communicated "like an Excel spreadsheet"—all facts with no heart—revealing how childhood trauma had caused him to shut down emotionally.Drawing from their book "The Fight For Us," they introduce Dr. Chip Dodd's eight primary feelings (hurt, loneliness, sadness, anger, fear, shame, guilt, and gladness) and explain how confessing these emotions transforms them from impairments into gifts. When loneliness is shared, it leads to intimacy; when fear is named, it builds faith. The episode closes with a beautiful blessing for couples willing to be vulnerable and trust each other, especially when it requires risk.Order The Fight for Us:https://a.co/d/aJehu4fFree Gifts when You Order Now:Get Our Free Masterclass, Growth & Connection Toolkit, Emotional Health for Marriages Course and More at https://rebekahlyons.com/marriageTake the What's Your Dance Quiz:rebekahlyons.com/quiz
