Doctor Psychology Human Behavior. Grad Wharton school in Neuroscience and Business. Work as High Performance Coach to business owners and teams. Using neuroscience and business strategy to build organizationsFeeling “stuck” isn't a character flaw—it's your nervous system doing its job a little too well. We dive into how trauma is stored as a state rather than a tidy story, why the brain chooses survival and comfort over growth, and what it takes to move from PTSD to post-traumatic growth. With Dr. Russ Irwin, we map the biology of triggers, the vertical stacking of subcortical memories, and the moment when feelings harden into identity. Then we step into the hope: how identity is restored, how the mind renews through neuroplasticity, and how faith reframes safety, worth, and purpose.We get practical. You'll learn how to spot survival dominance in real time, why talk-only approaches often miss the mark, and how to use body-based regulation to quiet the limbic system before you try to think your way out. We talk identity foreclosure—when “what happened to me” turns into “who I am”—and how to replace that story with one rooted in value and belonging. Confirmation bias gets a spotlight too: the way our brains filter out good news becomes clear, and we share how to turn the light switch into a dimmer so hope can get in.Across the conversation, Dr. Russ weaves deep clinical insight with a faith-forward lens. We explore gratitude's tangible health benefits, from telomeres to immunoglobulin A, and reveal a step-by-step path: name the state, regulate first, reframe the meaning, rehearse the new pathway, and anchor it with action. If you've felt trapped by old patterns, this is a compassionate roadmap to rewire your mind, reclaim your identity, and step into your calling.If this resonated, share it with someone who needs hope today, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review to help others find the show. Your story isn't over—and you don't have to walk it alone.✨ Connect with Dr. Russ - Website www.irwincoaching.ca✨ Join the EMPOWERED BY FAITH: 5 Days To A Lighter You Challenge!

What if the symptoms you've been battling are your body's way of asking for a different story? We sit down with Shannon—a wife, mom of three, nurse turned functional medicine coach—to trace a path from postpartum autoimmunity and burnout to gut healing, sobriety, and a faith-fueled life that actually works. Her journey starts with a doctor who asked better questions and a decision to believe the process could work. From there, everything shifted: inflammation dropped, brain fog cleared, weight released, and joy came back online.We unpack why gut health is the master key—how removing inflammatory triggers, treating infections like H. pylori, and restoring minerals can resolve skin flares (including hidradenitis), balance hormones, and steady mood. Shannon shares how quitting alcohol was less about deprivation and more about reclaiming her nervous system, her marriage, and her spiritual clarity. Alcohol is a toxin and a microbiome disruptor; letting it go created space for genuine healing and a clear mind. AA, community, and surrender to God anchored the change and gave her a roadmap that holds during vacations, busy seasons, and life's mess.Trauma weaves through this conversation with honesty and care. We explore how the body keeps the score, why fear blocks healing, and how tools like EMDR and somatic work help release stuck patterns. Most of all, we keep it simple: belief plus action beats perfection. Start with hydration, protein, fiber, sleep, and one courageous step—remove the thing you know is hurting you. Our coaching sisterhood brings structure, testing, IV nutrient therapy, and weekly support so you're never alone. If you're tired of trying to out-supplement exhaustion, this story will show you a kinder, proven way back to energy, confidence, and faith.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help more women find a path to real healing.If you're ready to move beyond trying harder and start living more aligned, you're invited to join Empowered by Faith — LIVE, a guided 5-day reset led by Dr. Tabatha that helps women reset body, mind, and spirit through simple, faith-centered rhythms.

From White-Knuckle Willpower to Empowered Eating Why Safety — Not Discipline — Creates Sustainable Change BUT FIRST!!! Join us next week LIVE in the FREE Meaning Beyond Macros MASTERCLASS  If willpower worked, you wouldn't need it every January. In this episode, we unpack why so many women feel like they “fall off” with nutrition — even when they're motivated, disciplined, and genuinely trying. Spoiler alert: it's not a character flaw. It's a nervous-system issue. We explore the difference between white-knuckling nutrition and building habits that actually fit real life — especially for women who care deeply about their families, responsibilities, and values. You'll learn how neuro-emotional biofeedback explains why sustainable change can't happen when your body doesn't feel safe — and how empowered eating begins when we stop forcing our biology and start partnering with it. In this episode, we cover: What “white-knuckling” nutrition actually looks like (and why it's so common for women) Why discipline isn't the problem — values and survival often override rigid plans How stress, emotional load, and unpredictability push the body into survival mode What neuro-emotional biofeedback is and why it matters for eating behavior How safety allows the prefrontal cortex to come back online for sustainable change The shift from control-based eating to empowered, responsive eating Simple reflection questions to help you identify where force may be replacing support Key takeaway: Your body isn't resisting change — it's protecting you. Sustainable nutrition doesn't come from trying harder; it comes from creating safety so your brain and body can work together.

Hot flashes, brain fog, anxious nights, and a doctor telling you it's “just stress” can make you feel powerless. We start the year by taking that power back. I sit down with Dr. Sarah Doyle—doctor of physical therapy and functional medicine practitioner—to map the real mechanics of midlife: how estrogen fuels brain energy and vessel health, why progesterone calms the nervous system, and how chronic stress diverts raw materials away from the hormones that stabilize mood, sleep, libido, and cognition.We dig into the surprising overlap between postpartum and perimenopause—both are hormone crashes that scramble serotonin, GABA, and dopamine. You'll hear why ignoring “small” clues like night sweats, frozen shoulder, recurrent UTIs, or new-onset anxiety can snowball into bigger issues if you don't address root causes. Dr. Doyle breaks down adrenals and cortisol in plain language, showing how fight-or-flight can stall sex hormone production, raise cardiovascular risk, and accelerate musculoskeletal pain. We also talk candidly about racial disparities in symptom duration, the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and the life-changing role of local estrogen for tissue health and comfort.BioDr. Sarah Doyle is a former ICU physical therapist turned Functional Medicine clinician and Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition who specializes in hormone optimization and disease prevention through evidence-based nutrition. After years of publishing research, writing bestselling books (The THIN Formula and 7X Method), co-founding HealWell Regenerative Institute at the prestigious Carillon Wellness Resort, and working as a performance physiotherapist for artists like Shakira and The Weeknd, Dr. Doyle identified a major gap in women's hormone care—especially during perimenopause and menopause. She created her new menopause supplement to be as strong as HRT under the Vita-Fem brand: a potent, all-natural, research-backed daily stick pack designed to reduce brain fog, balance hormones, and improve compliance by dissolving easily in water. Proven through before-and-after testing and published case studies, this innovative formula reflects Dr. Doyle's mission to help millions of women thrive through their “second puberty” and beyond—without reliance on pharmaceuticals. 15 min.

God never intended His people to live or serve in their own strength.

What if the “self-care” you reach for at 5 p.m. is the very thing stealing your sleep, peace, and energy? We dig into why alcohol and sugar feel soothing in the moment yet quietly disrupt dopamine, flatten motivation, inflame anxiety, and throw women's hormones off balance. Ashlee shares what changed across 17 months alcohol-free—better cycles, calmer mornings, clearer joy—while Tabitha breaks down the functional medicine behind cravings, from microbiome shifts to estrogen clearance and why weekend binges still drive risk.We don't stop at science.

When Healing Isn't Instant: Reframing Mental Health, Faith, and Finding Your Next Step Have you ever wondered if your struggles with anxiety, depression, or trauma mean you're not “spiritual enough”? Maybe you've tried praying harder, reading your Bible more, or pushing yourself to “have more faith,” yet you're still stuck. If so, you're not alone—and you're not doing it wrong. In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with one of our incredible coaches, Susan King, to explore the shame many women feel around mental health and emotional struggles. Together, we unpack harmful spiritual myths, why healing is often a journey, and how to take faithful, empowered steps forward—even when life feels overwhelming. Whether you're navigating separation, burnout, or simply trying to figure out where to start, this conversation will offer you clarity, comfort, and practical wisdom for your next step.  Key Takeaways You Can Love Jesus Deeply and Still Need Help Too many women have been told that anxiety or depression means their faith is weak. Susan and I challenge this harmful belief, pointing to biblical figures like David, Elijah, and Paul—deeply faithful people who struggled emotionally. God meets us in our weakness, not with condemnation but with compassion. Spiritual Maturity Doesn't Mean Avoiding Hard Emotions Misinterpretations of Scripture—like reading "do not be anxious" as a command rather than comfort—can lead to unnecessary guilt. Healing is a process, and God often uses tools like counseling, medication, and support to bring restoration. You're not a failure if you need help. Your Desires Matter—Even in the Messy Middle We talk about the tension between accepting your current chapter and still longing for something more. Is it wrong to want change? Absolutely not. God invites us to co-author our story with Him. Discovering your God-given desires and letting go of comparison is part of living authentically and faithfully. Get Curious About Your Internal World When life feels overwhelming, it's not just about a to-do list. Sometimes resistance comes from fear—of failure, disapproval, or making a mistake. We share powerful tools like brain dumping and identifying your internal vs. external work so you can get unstuck and take your next step with clarity. Small Steps Can Shift Everything Healing and change don't require massive leaps. A 2% shift—whether that's taking a breath, letting go of perfectionism, or asking, “Who do I want to be today?”—can redirect your day and your life. Start small, stay curious, and trust that God is with you in every step.

The latest episode of the Breathe Love & Magic Podcast explores Liberation Magic. We talk about magic and manifestation, and how it can genuinely shift your life. It’s time to move beyond rules and “doing it right” to reconnect with your spiritual core. This conversation with Maritza Schafer, founder of Bruja School, is one of those grounding and warm reminders that magic isn't something you learn, but something you remember. Manifesting Myth Trips People Up Have you ever been told that you're “not manifesting correctly,” and that's why what you want hasn't shown up yet? What a horrible and discouraging message which could make you  want to give up entirely. I remember when someone said it to me! That's why Maritza offers Liberation Magic — a way of working with magic that frees you from the metaphysical industry's criticism, rules, and the idea that you're somehow doing it wrong. Liberation magic invites you to return to your intuition, your energy, and your deeper spiritual truth. When things aren't moving in your life, it's rarely because you're broken or incapable. More often, it's because we've been trying to create from the surface instead of from connection. Liberation magic asks you to slow down, drop beneath the noise, and listen for the wisdom that's already guiding you. Magic – Technology for Transformation So what is magic, really? Maritza describes it beautifully as “a technology for transformation.” It's a collection of tools, practices, and spiritual intentions that help shift what feels stuck and invites something new to emerge. Magic is far more than passive wishing. It's intentional, soulful participation with life's energy! When you merge a spiritual component with your intentions, something softens and opens. The process doesn't feel heavy or forced. Your desires have a way of coming into being because they're rooted in alignment, not effort alone. Think of it as learning to see your life through a spiritual lens where intention matters, energy matters, and presence itself becomes powerful. Mystical Garlic Planting I told a story about using magic when I planted my garlic this fall. Right from the start, When I planted the garlic, I didn't just push cloves into the soil, fertilize, water, and walk away. I planted at twilight — that quiet, liminal space between day and night, when the veil feels thinner. Then, I connected with the land and greeted the spirits and elemental forces. Next, I offered gratitude and asked to collaborate with them as the garden begins it's cycle of growth again. The reason is not because someone told me that's how it's done or good to do. This is how I live when I'm tuned into nature. As I listen to spirit and connect with my own inner knowing, everything comes alive. And that's the heart of liberation magic – where magic and manifestation meet. It’s not dones as a technique, but as a connection to spirit and life itself. Magic as a Way of Life Magic isn't only something you use when you want something to change. It can be how you move through the world. Maritza encourages her students to deepen their awareness of the moment they're in — the energy, the land, the subtle signals that are always communicating with us. That might look like ritual or meditation. You might simply notice your breath while you're standing at the sink or looking out a window. When spirituality becomes woven into daily life, you begin to move with the rhythms of the earth instead of against them. Challenges don't disappear, but your relationship to them changes. You meet life with more grace, more steadiness, and more trust. Remember the Magic Many people are drawn to magic because something feels missing. Maritza about this clearly —longing is often a call back to spiritual connection that's been overshadowed by responsibility, expectation, and noise. As you reconnect, you remember something essential. You are not separate from spirit, but part of it. Remembering brings a deep sense of belonging and the awareness that you are a magical being with access to far more wisdom than you might imagine. Let Go of “Should” and Find What's True One of the most liberating aspects of Maritza's work is releasing the burden of expectation. There is no single right way to practice magic. No gold star for doing it perfectly. No spiritual hierarchy. Your path is sacred because it's your own. When students let go of comparison and external judgment, they often feel an enormous sense of relief. Magic becomes about self-discovery instead of performance. Confidence grows naturally when you stop trying to meet someone else's definition of spiritual correctness. Walking Your Own Spiritual Path Liberation magic doesn't require elaborate rituals or rigid structures. It asks for awareness. By understanding your energy and setting intention with presence, magic can move through your everyday life — in conversations, decisions, and quiet moments of choice. One of the greatest gifts of a spiritual path is realizing that the power you've been seeking has been with you all along. Each step taken with awareness makes the next one clearer, lighter, and more enchanted. Energy Awareness as a Path to Freedom At the heart of liberation magic is energetic awareness. When you learn to notice energy, both yours and the space around you, you gain the power to choose. Simple practices like pausing, breathing, and checking in with yourself can shift everything. Imagine a stressful moment. Now, instead of reacting, you can simply stop, breathe, and notice what's present. That awareness alone can move you from chaos into calm, from contraction into clarity. Living an Empowered, Magical Life Ultimately, liberation magic is about feeling empowered. It strengthens your spiritual connection and reminds you of your place within the larger web of life. From that place, change becomes possible through alignment. Magic isn't something you do once in a while. As Maritza so beautifully teaches, it's a way of living. You trust your gut, cut through the noise, and allow life to work with you instead of against you. Honestly, that's the kind of magic I want for everyone.

Interested in working together inside Empowered?

As we close out the year and step into a fresh chapter, I wanted to create an episode that feels grounding, clarifying, and empowering. This episode came from a place of deep reflection, on this show, on relationships, and on what it actually looks like to build secure, healthy love. Sometimes the most powerful clarity doesn't come from what we should tolerate or work harder at, but from getting crystal clear on what simply does not belong in secure partnership. In this episode, I walk you through the non-negotiables that define secure relationships, so you can move into this next season with higher standards, deeper self-trust, and a stronger sense of who you are becoming.Inside the episode:Why secure partners lead with integrity, emotional regulation, and respect and what it reveals about attachment and nervous system safetyThe subtle but damaging dynamics that don't exist in secure relationships (and how to stop normalizing them)How clarity around “what's a no” helps you build stronger boundaries, healthier standards, and a securely attached identityIf this episode resonated with you and you know you're ready to stop repeating old relationship patterns, this is your moment. Applications for the Empowered.Secure.Loved.® Relationship Program are closing for the year, and this is the last chance to join in its current format.To support you in taking this step, we're offering Secure December: A Farewell Sale — a limited-time 70% off offer available right now.

What do marriage, empathy, and the courage to face hard truths have in common? In this Best Of episode of Joy Found Here, Stephanie revisits two standout conversations that continue to strike a chord. Relationship therapist Dr. Becky Whetstone rethinks how we approach conflict and the moment we consider walking away, while empath and hypnotherapist Karen Blaine shows why sensitivity can be a powerful inner compass. Together, their insights offer a grounded guide for navigating the messy, meaningful work of being human—in our relationships and within ourselves.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(00:12) Best Of: Two Conversations That Still Echo(03:05) Becky's Unlikely Road to Relationship Work(05:10) The Crisis That Changed Everything for Becky(06:45) Why Many Couples Call It Quits Too Soon(08:57) The Truth Behind “We Can't Communicate”(11:59) The Damage of Felony Words in Conflict(14:15) Karen's Journey From “Too Sensitive” to Empowered(16:02) What Being an Empath Really Means(18:42) Boundaries and Reframing for Emotional Balance(21:22) Staying Grounded in an Overloaded WorldDr. Becky Whetstone is a relationship therapist, author, and former journalist who helps couples move through marriage crises with clarity and compassion. After seeing how unmanaged conflict leads to unnecessary divorce, she set out to teach partners how to communicate safely, regulate their nervous systems, and make grounded, emotionally mature choices. In this Best Of conversation, Becky explains why resentment often grows in silence, how “felony words” create lasting damage, and why you shouldn't end a marriage before understanding what can still be healed. Her reminder is simple: love is a skill, and with the right tools, even the hardest moments can become turning points instead of endings.Karen Blaine is an empath and hypnotherapist who guides highly sensitive people to honor their emotional depth rather than hide it. After growing up feeling “too sensitive,” she learned to see her intuition and attunement as strengths that help her connect meaningfully with others and the world around her. In this revisited conversation, Karen shares how empaths can stay grounded through boundaries, reframing, and quick reset rituals—especially in an overwhelming, information-heavy world. Her tools help listeners recognize when they're absorbing too much and return to center with clarity. Her message: sensitivity isn't a flaw, but a powerful strength when used with intention.Connect with Dr Becky Whetstone:WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInXYouTubeBlogGet Becky's book!Connect with Karen Blaine:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInFacebookXYouTubeTikTokLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

If you're looking back on 2025 feeling frustrated, discouraged, or quietly disappointed that the same patterns showed up again, this episode is for you. This is the conversation I wish I had heard during some of the hardest New Year seasons of my life. In today's episode, I walk you through the real shifts that actually change your life, not surface-level resolutions, not hustle, not forcing yourself to “try harder,” but the foundational inner work that breaks cycles and creates lasting change. If you know, deep down, that 2026 has to be different, let's talk about how to make that happen in a grounded, compassionate, and sustainable way.Inside the episode:Why support, self-compassion, and identity work, not willpower, are the keys to breaking repeated patternsHow taking intentional space (including a break from dating) can reset your nervous system and change how you show upThe mindset shift that makes real change inevitable: feeling the cost of staying the same and choosing differentlyIf this episode resonated, I want you to know this: you do not have to do this alone. The work we talked about today, healing attachment wounds, becoming securely attached, changing at an identity level, and learning how to show up differently in relationships is exactly what we do inside the Empowered.Secure.Loved. Program.

What does it really take to go from paralyzing fear and emotional confusion to courageous clarity and freedom? In Part 2 of our conversation, Coach LeAnne Parsons continues her heart-stirring dialogue with three women who bravely walked the journey of healing inside Empowered to Change. This week, we go deeper—unpacking the exact tools, mindset shifts, and faith-filled decisions that helped them disentangle their lives and rediscover who they truly are in Christ. If you've ever felt stuck in shame, unsure if you could trust again, or wondered if real change is even possible—this episode is your answer. Key Takeaways from Today's Episode Why They Finally Said Yes to Healing Each woman shares her unique tipping point—the moment when the pain of staying the same outweighed the fear of stepping into the unknown. For some, it was physical symptoms. For others, it was the ache of isolation. But for all three, it became clear: it was time to stop surviving and start healing. The Power of Safe, Christ-Centered Community Healing happens in the light. From hesitant strangers to trusted sisters, these women describe how their Empowered to Change group became a safe haven where their stories were honored, their pain was validated, and their growth was celebrated—without judgment, shame, or superficial fixes. Tools that Actually Change Lives From practicing hard conversations in the mirror, to disentangling emotional confusion with thought journals and boundaries, these women used practical tools that reshaped how they thought, spoke, and showed up in their relationships. This isn't inspiration for inspiration's sake—it's real transformation, step-by-step. Confidence Built on Courage, Not Perfection They didn't wait until they felt “ready” or confident. They showed up afraid—but they showed up. And as they practiced courage in community, confidence followed. As Christine beautifully shared, “Confidence is the fruit of choosing courage—even when your voice shakes”. Sustainable Change for the Long Haul Nearly five years after completing Empowered to Change, these women are still growing, still connected, and still walking in truth. They've moved from reactive living to intentional, Christ-centered wholeness—testifying that healing isn't a one-time moment, but a lifestyle of learning, growing, and living loved. Ready to Step Into a New Chapter? If their stories stirred something in your heart, maybe it's your time too. Empowered to Change is a six-month coaching journey for Christian women who are ready to stop surviving and start growing. Whether you're in a hard marriage, dealing with past wounds, or trying to reclaim your voice—you don't have to walk it alone.

Picture three futures: one where you're heavier and exhausted, one where you're stuck in the same loop, and one where you feel strong, clear, and connected to God. We walk you to that third path with a plan that ditches shame, respects your biology, and leans into identity and community so your goals finally stick.We start by naming the trap: resolutions fueled by guilt and raw willpower burn out fast, especially under stress and hormonal swings. Then we reframe health as worship, grounding change in Romans 8:1 and John 15:5. You'll learn why self-talk matters, how to write a vision that aligns with who you are in Christ, and how to future-gaze with God so daily choices match the woman you're becoming. We lay out a clear blueprint: track your cycle, plan around energy and cravings, prioritize protein and healthy fats, and use strategic fasting with circadian rhythms to restore energy. No more grind culture. Consistency and tiny wins beat intensity every time.We also go practical on hormones and labs. From perimenopause to unexpected dips in testosterone, we share real stories, the role of simple testing, and how changing delivery methods can revive mood, focus, and drive. We talk sabotage—overreaching, isolation, Monday-only motivation—and show how sisterhood, accountability, and a deeper why protect your progress. By the end, you'll have a Christ-centered framework, actionable steps, and the confidence to choose habits that feel doable, joyful, and sustainable.Ready to step into the version of you God designed?

Are you ready to step into the new year feeling empowered instead of empty? The Joy Edit's final episode brings Coaches Pam, Zoe, and Haley together to reflect on what makes an alcohol-free New Year's Eve not just survivable, but genuinely joyful. Coach Zoe remembers her first sober midnight with burnt homemade pizza, fancy fizzy drinks, and the startling realization: "Oh, there you are"—that moment when the fog lifted and she could finally see herself clearly. These reflections become practical tips for staying alcohol-free in the new year as you learn why your brain sends alarm signals when you remove alcohol (it's unfamiliarity, not danger), how visualization trains your nervous system before the real moment arrives, and what it means to stay in your "green zone" where choices feel clear and peace feels possible.

COVID-19 AND THE EMPOWERMENT OF UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. Hanson asserts that the COVID-19 pandemic empowered unelected bureaucrats to enforce lockdowns that disproportionately crushed the middle class while enriching large corporations and the "Zoom class."

The response highlighted a deep divide between the "essential" working class and the insulated elites who managed the crisis from safety. NUMBER 8
