Maralyn and Maurice Bailey were always a little unconventional. Maurice was a loner, precise. Maralyn was extroverted and energetic. But when they married in the 1960s, they both felt they had found their person. Together, they dreamed of running away from their ordinary lives — of selling everything and sailing the world. And in 1972, they made it happen. They set course for a fresh start in New Zealand and left England in a 31-foot yacht. All went well until they reached the Pacific, where a chance encounter with a whale sank their boat. They managed to get a few supplies onto their life raft, where they waited for help to come. And waited.And waited. Exhausted, starving, struggling to survive and get along, their marriage was put to the ultimate test. But when they were finally rescued after more than 100 days adrift at sea, they were a stronger couple than before. Author Sophie Elmhirst discovered the Bailey's true story on a message board and knew she had to bring it to a new generation — with the added twist that this isn't just a personal survival story. It's a marital survival story. She joins host Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas to talk all about “A Marriage at Sea.” Guest: Sophie Elmhirst writes regularly for the Guardian Long Read. In 2020, she won the British Press Award for Feature Writer of the Year. Her book, “A Marriage at Sea,” was published in the U.S. in July 2025.

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try to manage your time, you're still running on empty? The to-do list grows, the kids need you, work demands pull you in all directions, and you're left wondering if you'll ever have enough time to breathe. In this episode, I share my personal journey of how my perspective on time shifted drastically after becoming a solo parent / single parent when my husband went to Heaven. Suddenly, raising three active kids, being the sole breadwinner, and navigating grief all collided—and I realized my relationship with time needed to change. We'll explore biblical time management—because most “time problems” aren't really about calendars or planners, they're heart issues. Together, we'll look at what God's Word says about redeeming our days, finding rest, and making space for what matters most. You'll walk away with: Heart questions to uncover what's really driving your schedule Practical time management tips rooted in Scripture Encouragement to let go of perfection and walk in God's timing A reminder that He's given you enough time for what He's called you to do If you're an exhausted mom—whether you're working, solo parenting, or just trying to keep up with daily life—this conversation will help you release the pressure, find peace, and step into rhythms that honor both God and your season.

Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium The intention of tonight's meditation is to guide you gently into the deep, restful sleep your body needs. Even though your mind wants to keep you awake with tasks to do, responsibilities to hold or life to ponder. Sleep is here...and she's waiting for you. So go ahead and close your eyes as you settle into comfort. And just notice how it feels to close your eyes. Maybe you can feel your eyelids twitch softly as they begin to surrender to the sleep they've been fighting. Perhaps you can feel the moment when their heaviness finally takes over and your entire face falls and relaxes, As your cheeks soften, And your jaw releases, Your tongue drops from the roof of your mouth, And your forehead relaxes. Feel the heaviness of your eyes sink you further into the night. PAUSE… Now bring your attention to your stomach. Observe how it rises and falls with every breath. Feel it filling with air as you breathe in, And releasing air as you breathe out. Now see if you can take a deep breath in, Inviting your stomach to grow as big as it can as you fill your body with cool air, And exhaling it all the way out. Imagining that every breath out releases a thought, A worry, A task, A memory, A vision. Imagine that each breath in invites in cleansing oxygen, gathering up all the happenings of the day, And the array of emotions and thoughts that have been stored inside your body, And on each exhale, imagine the air extracting all of it, releasing it out into the dark night around you. Watch them dissolve into tiny grains of dust that disappear around you. Breathe in, gather it all up, And breathe out, letting it all go. Breathe in, Breathe out. PAUSE… Your body is ready to sleep, beautiful. And your mind is liquid, eager for a rest. Surrender to the calming depths of sleep. It is safe for you here, It is healing for you here.

I'm breaking down why "more is better" might actually be sabotaging your results and how to workout without burnout instead.In this solo episode, you'll discover the answers to:What is the law of diminishing returns and how does it apply to your fitness routine?What are the warning signs that you're overdoing it with your workouts or health habits?How can you tell when you've found the sweet spot in your routine?How can you build sustainable rhythms that actually work with your life?The truth is, sometimes more is just more, and sometimes it's actually worse.

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the great pleasure of speaking with occupational health psychologist Dr. Christina Guthier, author of Joyfully Exhausted, about the often misunderstood concept of burnout. We discuss the idea that not all exhaustion is bad, explore the difference between joyful and harmful exhaustion, and examine the effort-reward imbalance that many self-employed people face. Christina emphasizes the importance of managing our energy and recovering from hidden efforts we may not even realize are draining us. Our conversation is a refreshing reminder that it's okay — and even healthy — to love your work, as long as you prioritize recovery and recognize your limits. Since childhood, Christina was fascinated to observe different states of exhaustion in adults after work (including unpaid care work). At Ruhr-University Bochum, she majored in organizational psychology, conducted corporate social responsibility (CSR) field-research as student assistant at the marketing department, and worked at eligo GmbH where she helped develop recruiting software. During her M.Sc. Psychology at Heidelberg University, she majored in Organizational Behaviour and Adaptive Cognition learning a lot about the complexity of performance ratings and leadership behavior as well as cognitive biases and decision heuristics. At the same time, Christina also completed her train-the-trainer certificate during her internship at the career services and development department at Mannheim Business School. Then she focused on occupational health psychology (particularly on burnout research) during her PhD at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz. Christina's PhD thesis on "How to create healthier study and work environments" got awarded with the Alfred Teves dissertation award 2020. Additionally, her meta-analysis on the reciprocal relationship between job stressors and burnout (published in Psychological Bulletin) got awarded with the Schmidt-Hunter Meta-Analysis Award 2022 by the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology (division of the American Psychological Association). Finally, as a self-employed scientist, she has started to translate (her) research insights into actionable advice by giving a TEDx talk, getting interviewed for German media outlets (e.g., Der Spiegel, deutschlandfunk nova), and writing articles for different journals and magazines (e.g., Leader to Leader, change magazine). Additionally, she has supported organizations as a speaker, trainer, and coach with shifting their mindsets regarding exhaustion and recovery.

If you describe your health and your life as: busy, exhausted, inflamed and ignored by your doctor, then you need to hear this. Up to 92% of adults are metabolically unhealthy, and the "normal" lab ranges your doctor looks at to say "you're fine" are based on the average of that already sick population. Which means you'll never actually feel good if you keep going to your traditional family doctor. Dr. Elena Zinkov has helped over 20,000 women who refuse to settle with "normal" to feel like their vibrant selves again.

Hello to you listening in Wenatchee, 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.From Great Britain during World War II came this observation about the wide-ranging effect of radio on the population: “Radio exposes nearly everybody in the country to a rapid, bewildering succession of emotional experiences. Our minds and our moral natures just cannot respond to the bombardment of contradictions and confusion.”Sounds a lot like us 85 years later! Media platforms have exploded with hourly tsunamis of news! There is no shortage of overwhelming, emotional experiences. We were not made for this. No wonder we feel exhausted, crazy, unsettled, and lost from the unrelenting pummeling of it all.So what do we do now? Know this: All is impermanent. The tide will turn. When you come to the end of your rope tie a knot and hold on. Find good company in animal companions, in faith, family and friends. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Take a well-deserved break and a lesson from nature: When the leader of a V-formation of birds gets tired it drops back and another bird takes its turn in the lead. Be willing to drop back and let others support you until you are ready to soar again. Thank you for listening! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

In this episode, I'm sharing the raw moment I found myself feeling this exact way– completely overwhelmed and totally disconnected. If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause and feel like your stress is out of control, this conversation is for you. We're unpacking why the bone-deep exhaustion, brain fog, and lack of capacity you feel aren't just about aging—they're signals that your cortisol levels and stress response system are maxed out, leaving you in survival mode. I'll break down what I've learned about reversing your stress response naturally, even in the busiest seasons of life. We'll explore simple, science-backed steps to help you step out of over-efficiency mode and reclaim your calm, clarity, and joy. Ready to feel like YOU again, even in the chaos of midlife transitions? Don't miss this episode! IN THIS EPISODE Why so many of us live in survival mode during midlife Hormone fluctuation and its impact on cortisol regulation Understanding the physiology of your stress response system The link between cortisol and weight gain My favorite cortisol resetting rituals Habits to implement to reverse the stress response system QUOTES “90% of the time, we're solving all the problems, we're holding it all together. We're over-efforting, overproducing. We're productive machines… and that primary hormone that we hear a lot about is gonna be cortisol.” “Cortisol is just a hormone that's responding to the environment and to how I'm living my life. So we have to look at how we live our life and how we shift the way we live our life so we're not having this crazy response.” “How you live your life is how you live your day, and how you live your day is how you start your day.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Dr. Mariza Instagram: DM me / tag your self-care moment @drmariza Pre-order The Perimenopause Revolution and claim your free bonuses HERE!

Hey friend, Are you running on coffee and prayer… but still crashing halfway through the day? Do you wake up tired, feel overwhelmed before noon, and secretly wonder, “Is this just how life is now?”
In this episode, Tash, Shannon, and Brittney are diving into life with almost-teens—because puberty waits for no one. From navigating school systems and prepping for big educational changes, to decoding the daily dose of sass and side-eye, we're covering it all. Let's be real: parenting at this stage feels like trying to translate a foreign language… while blindfolded… on a rollercoaster. We don't always get it right (understatement of the year), but we're learning to give ourselves—and our kids—plenty of grace. Tune in as we laugh, vent, and figure it out together.
In this episode, Einat Shinar and I dig into why sleep is the game changer for women's health—especially when it comes to weight, hormones, and inflammation. We break down how poor sleep throws off your hunger hormones like ghrelin and leptin, making it harder to control cravings and lose weight. Einat shares simple, science-backed habits to reset your cortisol and circadian rhythm, like morning sunlight and mindful eating with protein pacing. We also dive into sleep challenges during perimenopause and menopause, plus a clever mental trick called “cognitive shuffling” to help you fall back asleep quickly. If you're ready to stop struggling with sleep and start supporting your hormones and wellness, this episode is for you.
You'd think a day spent lounging on the beach would be the ultimate recharge. No deadlines, no emails, just rest and relaxation. And yet, by the time you head home, you're wiped out. Not just relaxed, completely drained. It's supposed to be restful, so why does it feel like you've just run a marathon in flip-flops? It's not just the sun, it's the heat, the humidity, and the work your body puts in to stay cool. Even when you're lying still, your internal systems are hustling to keep your core temperature around 37°C. The hotter it gets, the harder your body has to work. How does the body manage that? At what point does heat become too much? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Who was the real Count of Monte Cristo?

#193 // You said yes to God's call. You surrendered your plans. You're doing your best to build the vision He gave you. So why does it feel like it's killing you?The long nights. The constant second-guessing. The nagging fear that maybe you weren't cut out for this after all. You're pouring out in obedience, but inside? You're dry. Exhausted. And secretly wondering: "What if this assignment takes me out before I even see the fruit?"Sis, I hear you. And more importantly—God sees you.Here's the truth: This isn't about your faith not being strong enough or your capacity being too small. You didn't mishear God. And you're not failing.You're just carrying your calling the wrong way.

My book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is OUT!You're not alone in sensing the overwhelming pressures women face today, especially those of us navigating the complexities of ADHD and perimenopause. In today's episode, both Adele Wimsett and I are feeling the weight of societal expectations and the exhaustion that comes with trying to balance it all. To celebrate the release of my new book, today's episode features a powerful discussion with my friend Adele Wimsett, exploring why so many women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves. While the feminist movement opened important doors, it also encouraged many of us to succeed within systems built by and for men. Systems which are shaped by patriarchal values that don't consider the cyclical nature of women's bodies. The pressure to constantly do, achieve, and keep up has left many of us burnt out, especially those navigating ADHD and the hormonal shifts of perimenopause.Adele is a Women's Hormone Health Practitioner who specialises in the powerful link between ADHD and hormonal health. Adele has dedicated her work to helping women and girls reconnect with their cycles and honour their rhythms, blending science with holistic tools to support women from menarche to menopause.What You'll Learn: The impact of societal pressures on women leading to deep exhaustion and overwhelm.The impact of the feminist movement, the shift to more masculine characteristics and the pressure to ignore our cyclical nature.How historic patriarchal structures have evolved into the modern exhaustion we see today in women. The lack of support in modern work structures for women's health, especially during hormonal changes like perimenopause. Capitalism's reliance on women's insecurities and how to break free to find your inner calm.Progesterone's role in calming our nervous system, the treatments available and natural ways to support it.The role of stress management and caring for your adrenals to support wellbeing.Understanding what fulfils you, and what can be stripped back to find clarity.How to set compassionate boundaries, protect your energy, and gently prevent burnout.Timestamps:02:14 - Why You're Feeling the Weight of the World's Expectations15:31 - Acknowledging the Female Mental Load of Family Life and Work20:17 - Navigating the Challenges of Perimenopause27:29 - Exploring Hormonal Health Solutions 35:05 - Setting Boundaries to Protect Your Energy in PerimenopauseLinks and Resources:Join the Waitlist for my new ADHD community-first membership launching in September!
