As someone who has officially (gulp) reached mid-life, I can say that despite some of the daunting realizations (I got old??) there are so many wonderful REVElations that occur. One of them being that we have a ton of learned wisdom to share. My guest this week, Katie Rose, wrote her most recent book, Yoni Codes: Reclaim the Power to Heal, by taking inventory of her life and sharing the ways she had found to heal, grow, and persevere. Katie Rose is a yoga teacher, Ayurvedic educator, and author based in Sydney, Australia. Over the past 30 years she has taught and mentored thousands of women, published several books, and built a global community of over 28,000. Her book grew from her own experiences of trauma and healing, and explores how women can access their own codes of power through Ayurveda, ritual, and goddess archetypes. At its heart, it's about how when we heal ourselves, we heal lineages — and how reclaiming the feminine can bring profound change.On this guest episode, Katie shares about how the yoni is both a physical and spiritual gateway and how she sees modern women reclaiming this sacred power in everyday life. She also speaks to how her book blends yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, and personal storytelling and why she wove these threads together as well as the recurring wounds & themes she noticed after working with thousands of women through Bhakti Rose. Together we discuss why women's communities and circles are so powerful for healing, how ancient practices like Ayurveda and yoga support trauma recovery, & the importance of women speaking uncensored truths.Bio:Katie Rose is a yoga teacher, ayurveda guide, doula and author with over 25 years of experience in the world of wellness. She holds accreditation with both Yoga Alliance and Yoga Australia as a registered experienced yoga teacher and teacher trainer with many thousands of teaching hours under her belt.Katie was the manager of the prestigious TriYoga centre in London before moving to Sydney and opening Samadhi Yoga in 2004 followed by Jivamukti Yoga Sydney which at its peak was a four-studio business and is still a thriving community today.Her popular online courses have helped hundreds of women from all over the world in empower themselves.She is the founder and host of the annual Bhakti Women Online Yoga Summit and the author of several internationally available books including ‘Mindful Living' (Rockpool Publishing) and ‘The Yoga of Birth'.

Efforts to find peace within Te Pati Maori's ranks look increasingly futile - with the party's leadership pouring fuel on the fire - accusing detractors of trying to oust them. The party's national council now appears to be gearing up to expel the two MPs - who the leaders says have gone rogue. Acting political editor Craig McCulloch reports.

Pastor Jared Richard examines James 4:1-10, comparing church conflict to an autoimmune disease where the body mistakenly attacks itself. Just as autoimmune diseases cause the body's defense system to malfunction, spiritual conflict causes believers to view fellow church members as enemies rather than brothers and sisters in Christ. The root of this problem lies not between us but within us—our wrong desires, pride, and jealousy create internal war that manifests as external conflict. James uses strong language of "war" and "murder" to emphasize how devastating church conflict is to the body of Christ. Pastor Jared shares his personal experience with a church split over music styles, illustrating how such division permanently damages relationships and distracts from the gospel. The cure for this spiritual disease is God's grace, which humbles us and draws us near to Him. As James 4:6 reminds us, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."   WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

What do you believe happens after we die—and does that belief bring you peace or pain?

If you're a Christian working mom who lies awake playing out every possible scenario — trying to stay ahead of what could go wrong — this episode will feel like exhale. Today we're talking about the kind of anxiety that doesn't always look chaotic on the outside — but feels like a constant mental hum you can't turn off. The silent fear of “what if I don't see it coming?” The emotional exhaustion of always trying to pre-live what hasn't even happened yet. In this episode, you'll learn: Why so much of your anxiety isn't because something is actually wrong — but because you don't know what's next The difference between what-if thinking (fear-driven) vs. even-if faith (peace-anchored) A 3-step biblical reset you can do in real time when your brain starts spiraling How to experience peace before clarity — not after Why God isn't waiting for you to figure it all out — He's waiting for you to stay close If your mind is constantly preparing for things that haven't even happened… if you're tired of living braced for impact… this conversation will show you a new way to walk — steady, grounded, and no longer driven by fear of the unknown.   If you're ready to go deeper, I also share Faithfully Balanced, my course designed to help Christian working moms like you restore peace, guard your priorities, and live faithfully aligned with God — all without adding extra hustle to your life.  Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: Faithfully Balanced Course

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.Gratitude is often seen as soft, sentimental, or religious, but for the Stoics, it was a pillar of strength. In this episode, we explore how Stoicism offers a deeper, more grounded form of gratitude: one rooted in reason, awareness, and acceptance of the present moment.Drawing on Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, we reveal how the Stoic view of gratitude isn't about comparison or comfort, it's about clarity. Through practice, gratitude becomes a rational response to life's impermanence and change. When Epictetus writes, “When you kiss your child goodnight, whisper softly: tomorrow you will die,” he isn't being morbid. He's reminding us to be fully present, to love, notice, and appreciate what's here before it's gone.From there, we can connect gratitude to the three Stoic disciplines:Desire – wanting less and appreciating what you already have.Assent – perceiving events clearly, without distortion or complaint.Action – living with fairness, kindness, and awareness of the whole.You'll learn how gratitude aligns with Amor Fati, the love of fate, and how to stop the mental habit of complaining that clouds perception. With practical reflections and modern examples, we show how even simple awareness of what's present can calm anxiety, reduce comparison, and restore peace of mind.By the end of this episode, you'll see that Stoicism is not a cold philosophy of detachment; it's a joyful, grateful way of seeing the world as it truly is.Listen to the full episode now and discover how gratitude can transform the way you think, act, and see your life.Read the companion article: https://viastoica.com/how-to-view-the-world/Support the show:

You get up, you get breakfast ready, and your kids come in complaining, complaining, complaining. All of a sudden, someone spilled their milk, and the phone is buzzing, and before you realize it, you are mentally listing everything that's wrong.I'm going to share a way to flip the switch in your head and get back into a place of peace, a place of gratitude. Today, we are talking about changing complaining to thankfulness, to gratitude. I'm going to be giving you several gratitude examples along the way.Abraham Lincoln's Example During America's Darkest HourLet's start with Abraham Lincoln. Back in 1863, the war between the states was tearing America apart. Families were divided, thousands were dying, no one knew what the future held. And President Lincoln declared a National Day of Thanksgiving.He knew that the attitude of thanksgiving could actually change our country. He wrote, "Year filled with blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies, gracious gifts of Most High God." He was looking to God to say, even though everything around us is falling apart, we are gonna look up, and we are going to say thank you to God.So when everything in your life feels chaotic, you can still choose to focus on God's goodness.The Kitchen Table That Changed EverythingSeveral years ago, I was having a mental-emotional breakdown. In our house, I was walking back and forth, just reeling out in my head all the things I wanted to tell all the people that were giving me a hard time.And all of a sudden, I was like, stop, Kerry. Just stop. I went to the kitchen table, I just grabbed a piece of regular notebook paper, and I started writing down anything I could think of to be thankful for. It could have been a blue sky outside, a hot cup of coffee, I don't know. But I went and just wrote everything down.Got all the way down the list, and even got to the top, and started a second column. Almost to the bottom, I quit thinking about the things that God had given me, things to be thankful for, and I started to write down things about God. I started to praise Him for who He was in my life.By the time I finished that list, peace came over me. There was joy in my heart, because I knew that God was taking care of me, and it really didn't matter about all the craziness.Recognizing the Enemy's AttackMaybe your marriage is falling apart. Maybe you're rejected by your friends, or your mother-in-law's giving you a hard time. Maybe you're just totally overwhelmed, because you got 5 kids under the age of 7, and you're trying to homeschool a few of them.That is the enemy attacking you, and you can change that overwhelmed, rejected attitude to something positive. You need to realize that the negative voice and all those bad things is not yours. It is the enemy attack. He is trying to get you to think about you, your circumstances, instead of God and trusting in a faithful God.It only took me about 5 minutes, my perspective changed, and my heart and soul changed as well. My self-pity changed to praising God for His faithfulness, His character, and His provision that's always there.The Science Behind GratitudeI've been keeping a gratitude journal since about 2010 or 2011. This is actually my second gratitude journal. I actually hit 10,000 items earlier this year, and I know that keeping that journal changes the way I think.It's not just God saying this, which is all that really matters, but there is scientific evidence that gratitude and thankfulness changes the way we think. Research shows that gratitude increases our joy and our contentment. It decreases our anxiety and our depression. It even helps you sleep better and gives you a stronger immune system.If you are stressed out, I highly recommend that every day, you start a gratitude journal.Corrie ten Boom's Gratitude Example: Even for FleasLet's talk about Corrie ten Boom in the middle of World War II. Her family housed Jews up in the attic, and eventually they got caught. Corrie and her sister Betsy were sent to Ravensbrook, one of the worst concentration camps in World War II.The barracks were overcrowded, they were cold, and there were fleas everywhere. Her sister insisted, we have got to thank God for everything, even the fleas. Well, Corrie thought she had lost her mind. Seriously? You want me to say thank you for fleas?Let me tell you, those fleas were a blessing from God. They discovered that those fleas kept the guards away and gave Corrie and Betsy time to share Jesus, to share things about the Bible, to have prayer meetings in their little barracks, without any interruption. Those guards didn't want you talking about God, but they were staying far away from the fleas.Betsy knew something: We can thank God for even the hard times.Finding Blessings in Your Hardest CircumstancesIt's hard to say thank you that someone rejected me, or thank you that I have a child that's not walking with God. You're not thanking Him for that, but we can say, God, thank you for your faithfulness in the midst of this situation.The things that we complain about the most are sometimes blessings in disguise. God uses anything for our good. Over 9 years ago, my husband left, and I would never wish this on anyone. It has been the hardest thing I have ever walked through in my life.But I remember about 2 years ago, I was sitting with my dad, and I said, Dad, I would never wish this on anyone, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am closer to God than I have ever been.That rejection, that hard time, the suffering, the trials that I continue to walk through—when you change your attitude to gratitude, it can sometimes become a blessing, and it is a true blessing.Raising Grateful KidsWhat about my kids? My kids were complaining, everything's falling apart. If you can raise grateful kids, then they will be more satisfied with their life, they will have happier emotions, and they will actually have better mental health.The key is you, Mom. When you are more grateful, your children will express more gratitude. Steve and I said thank you to our kids all the time, and we told our kids to say thank you when they're young. Now, as they grew up, they just naturally said it.I've had parents say, Hunter or Gentry or Ashley, they're the only ones that said thank you for the meal when they came over. That was because we modeled it, and it became a part of who they are in their mind and in their heart.It's not just changing their attitude for today, it's modeling a life skill for children for the rest of their lives.How Gratitude Activates the BrainWhen you are thankful for things, you activate dopamine. Dopamine is that happiness neurotransmitter. As we are grateful, it will happen to us, and as we model it for our kids, it will happen to the kids.Let's face it, it is biblical as well. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God." It is not an option. God's will is for you and me to give thanks.Teaching gratitude to our kids moves them from being entitled to a heart focused on Jesus.George Washington Carver's Daily PracticeGeorge Washington Carver grew up born into slavery in 1864. He was orphaned as an infant, he had a chronic illness, he was denied an education, and yet he grew up to be a celebrated scientist and inventor.He had a daily practice. He would walk in the woods at dawn, and he would look for little bitty things in the woods to say thank you to God. He said, "I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station through which God speaks."When I go for a walk and I hear the birds sing, I'm like, oh, thank you, God. When I walk outside and see a beautiful sunset or sunrise, thank you, God. When I see green leaves on the tree, thank you, God.Do you make it a practice to say thank you all day long? Gratitude in the simple things leads to extraordinary discoveries.Gratitude Is a ChoiceListen, if you're multitasking, come back to me. Gratitude does not require perfect circumstances. It's a choice that opens our eyes to the possibilities of what is out there.Practical Ways to Practice Gratitude DailyI suggest daily thank God for at least one thing in your life, or your family, or your kids. Your family and kids should start to participate. Model your attitude of gratitude, and let them see that you keep a gratitude journal. Rest in God—He is always in control, no matter what your circumstances are.Find something that you already do every day. Like, we ate meals together. So maybe you keep all the gratitude challenges at the meal table, and after breakfast, lunch, or dinner, everyone writes one thing down that they are thankful for.Maybe it's during your morning time, basket time, whatever that family time is. It only takes—it didn't even take 5 minutes sometimes. Each person can share what they're thankful for, and you can write that down.With preschoolers, you can use prompts, and they can just tell it to you, you can write it down. Maybe if they're able to draw a picture, they just keep a little notebook of everything that they're thankful for. As they get older, they can actually write words.With older kids, I would encourage them to write at least 3 things daily. That changes the neurons in your head and the way you think, because you are changing from negative, complaining thinking to positive, thankful thinking.Anchor Your Practice in ScriptureChoose one Bible verse about thanksgiving and practice it all of November. You could use 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God." Simple.Practice it at the dinner table every single night. Say it together, let them take turns saying it, whatever the verse is. This will anchor your gratitude practice, your gratitude actions in God's Word.It also teaches our kids to focus on Jesus and what He's doing, not just positive thinking. This isn't all about positive thinking. This is about following God, because we know that Jesus and the Holy Spirit is what can change what's inside.Start Today, Not When Crisis HitsDon't wait for crisis, like I did that time, to start practicing gratitude.

Between constant notifications, responsibilities, and endless noise, it's easy to miss His still, small voice.In this reflective solo episode of Faith Fueled Living, Kristin Fitch shares why creating quiet space in your day is essential for spiritual clarity and peace. She dives into how busyness and distraction drown out divine direction—and how small, intentional shifts can help you reconnect with God's presence and hear His guidance more clearly.Through practical encouragement and personal insight, Kristin reminds listeners that hearing from God doesn't require doing more—it requires slowing down, turning off the noise, and being still long enough to listen.If you've been craving peace, direction, or a deeper connection with God, this episode will give you the tools to reset, refocus, and realign your heart with His.TakeawaysSilence invites God's voice. We can't hear Him clearly when our minds are filled with constant noise.Quiet is not empty—it's sacred. Moments of stillness create space for spiritual renewal and revelation.Your digital diet matters. What you consume affects your peace, focus, and ability to sense God's presence.Act on divine nudges. When you feel prompted by the Holy Spirit, respond—don't delay.Rest is holy.

Gretchen was devastated when her husband announced he was divorcing her—in front of all five kids. She knew he meant it because they had always promised their kids that divorce would never be part of their story. From there, things only got worse. Tension was thick, nerves were frayed, and they couldn't take a walk around the neighborhood without fighting and leaving in opposite directions. They tried marriage counseling, but they'd leave fighting so badly they'd have to pull the car over. He decided to stay as roommates until the kids graduated. Then he was gone. One night after another blowup, Gretchen got out of the car at a red light and walked home. She Googled "why does my husband hate me" and finally found hope. Today, her marriage is peaceful, connected and intimate. They take long car rides talking for hours—or sitting in peaceful silence. Her husband is always making her laugh, and divorce is off the table.

What actions are you taking today to find peace?

Does starting something new excite you? Do you dive right into a new goal, and obsessed with seeing results? If so, you are a starter.  Being a starter is a blessing because it means that you don't hesitate to take the first step. But there is a difference between an immature and a mature starter. Immature starters use a lot of energy up front because they are only interested in the reward. Along the way, that motivation fizzles out, leaving you disappointed, frustrated, and even ready to quit. In today's episode, Lisa shares her experience as an immature starter. She used to be obsessed with the destination, robbing herself of peace and contentment for years.  Now, Lisa is still a starter, but she is a mature starter. She removed two words from her vocabulary, significantly changing her relationship with her goals. She has no problem launching into something new, but she has taught herself to appreciate the journey and focus on mastery instead of speed.  If you are a starter looking to learn how to control your pace, ensuring you have energy and motivation from the first step through to the finish line, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn the two words you need to remove from your vocabulary to find peace and contentment while working toward your goals.    JOIN OUR NEXT 30-DAY PLANT-BASED VEGAN SOS CHALLENGE Do you have what it takes to commit to the next Plant Protocol® 30-Day Vegan, Salt, Oil, and Sugar-Free Challenge?

We often ignore our mental health until it's too late.Statistics show that millions delay seeking help for years - with many receiving a diagnosis more than a year after symptoms first appear. The cost isn't just personal; the global toll of untreated mental illness reaches into the billions each year through healthcare expenses and lost productivity.In this episode, Jonathan Kemp shares his lifelong journey through bipolar disorder, depression, and dyslexia, and how decades of struggle led him to redefine what peace and success actually meant to him. We discuss the stigma around therapy and medication, why awareness alone isn't enough, and how small daily habits and connection can completely transform mental well-being.TOPICS:Overcoming bipolar disorder, depression, and dyslexiaRedefining success and finding peace after burnoutBreaking stigma around therapy, medication, and men's mental healthMORE FROM NICK:Book a FREE call here to learn about the Move Your Mind Program: https://tinyurl.com/yc3zmu35Find all links here: https://nickbracks.start.page/Sign up to the website: nickbracks.comConnect with Nick on Instagram, Twitter & LinkedInMORE FROM JONATHAN: https://www.instagram.com/jonathankemplondon/ Hosted on Acast.

What if the only thing standing between you and peace is your need for control? In this episode, we sit down with Alicia Moreland, a military spouse who has moved from state to state every few years, all while wrestling with uncertainty, identity, and the desire to have it all figured out. Now, in another season of transition without a clear destination, Alicia shares how she's learning to release control, embrace flexibility, and trust that peace can exist even when the plan doesn't. Alicia's journey is a reminder that sometimes happiness isn't found in having more, but in needing less. In this episode you'll hear about: maintaining your sense of identity through big life changes,  the urge to control and the discomfort of not knowing,  what it's like to move every few years,  finding peace in letting go of the plan,  the beauty of flexibility and fluidity,  life's layers and learning to sit with the unknown, and  letting go of what's holding you back (especially when it's you).  At the end of the episode, we reframe Alicia's limiting belief that “You can't find peace in uncertainty” into something that supports her evolving, empowered reality. Stay tuned through the end to shift your mindset too. Connect With Us! @aliciaelevates @lauren.e.will @ipwomanpodcast www.ipwomanpodcast.com

“Do not worry” (Matthew 6:25). Worry is so familiar that we often treat it as inevitable – yet Jesus gives us a direct command not to. His words aren't a cold prohibition but a gracious invitation to trust the Father's love and care for us. In this episode, Haley and Dustin dive into Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 to unpack the difference between worry and healthy concern. Along the way, they share biblical insights for finding peace in anxious times and introduce four types of “worry-ers” to help you recognize patterns in your own life. Whatever burdens you're carrying today, may this conversation help you find peace and strengthen your trust in the Lord.

Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? 28“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
