Podcasts about finding peace

Send us a textThe recovery journey begins with a simple truth: addiction isn't about substances—it's about escape. I spent years trying to run from pain, from reality, from myself. But as I discovered, no matter where I went, I took myself with me.My path through the 12 steps wasn't smooth. I approached recovery with skepticism and pride, resistant to the process. What I didn't realize was how deeply the lies I told myself ran. The most profound shift came when someone bluntly told me, "Maybe this isn't about you." Those words cut through years of self-centeredness and changed everything. I had been given something freely, but wasn't passing it on.Recovery transformed more than my substance use—it rebuilt my entire life. Though not overnight. Some relationships mended while others ended, finances stabilized after years of chaos, and most importantly, I found a community of people who genuinely care. The contrast between my life then and now is stark. Where I once dreaded waking up, I now look forward to each day. Where I once was isolated, I now connect. Where I once ran from reality, I now face life with tools and support.For those struggling with addiction—whether actively using or physically sober but emotionally unwell—know that you're not alone. True success isn't about perpetually chasing happiness but finding peace and joy. Recovery offers a pathway there. It's not always easy, but it works. You're just one decision away from a different life. If something in my story resonates with you, please reach out. Visit SuccessfulLifePodcast.com or message me on social media.

In this episode of the Redeeming Truth Podcast, Pastors Todd Burgett, Dale Thackrah, Jason Stinson, Darrell Harrison, and Dave Jordan sit down to explore a type of rest far deeper than just taking a day off—soul rest through Jesus Christ. Drawing from passages like Matthew 11, Hebrews 4, Isaiah 26, and Acts 2, the pastors discuss how true rest is not about inactivity or escape, but a spiritual reality grounded in the finished work of Christ. Together, they unpack what it means to rest in God's promises, how to fight anxiety with gospel truth, and why fellowship, humility, and biblical community are vital in experiencing lasting peace.

SUMMARY: The conversation is centered around Lisa Espinoza's experience with child loss, focusing on her son, Chandler.  Lisa shares that Chandler was adventurous and lived life fully, participating in various activities and sports. Chandler had a philosophy of life and was deeply affectionate and protective of others, never meeting a stranger. Lisa recounts the tragic accident that led to Chandler's passing and the subsequent 18 days of struggle before his death on January 1, 2019. The grief process for Lisa involved accepting the loss, processing pain, adjusting to life without Chandler, and maintaining a connection with him. She emphasizes the importance of not minimizing grief and allowing oneself to feel all emotions, including anger and sorrow.  Lisa discusses honoring Chandler's memory through writing a book and helping others who have experienced similar loss. She finds joy in simple moments and believes in the possibility of joy coexisting with grief. Lisa encourages others to accept help from friends and community and to remain open to moments of joy. The conversation concludes with a focus on finding purpose and meaning after loss and the importance of inviting joy into one's life. PODCAST INTRO: Guest, Lisa Espinoza is an author, coach and a speaker. She stops by the show today to share her personal story of child loss, grief and finding joy even in the midst of great pain. The process of grief is as different as the person it comes upon but none-the-less we can find incredible value because shared story is how grieving hearts find encouragement. Child loss is an indescribable pain that no parent wishes to be part of. For Lisa, the loss of her son Chandler was a life-altering event that reshaped her world in countless ways. Lisa shares a heartfelt conversation of her experiences, providing us with a glimpse into a love that will never end coupled with the grief that accompanies the loss of a child. Her story is one of resilience, hope, and the unwavering belief in the power of connection both with having Christ as your foundation and staying connected to life by way of offering practices of remembrance whether that be spontaneously and deliberately. You'll hear Lisa's reflection on Chandler's adventurous spirit, the kind of person who embraced life with open arms and an open heart. Chandler was one of the four children that Lisa and her husband have (and I do say have because the fact that Chandler is their son will never change)…, a son who brought joy and chaos in equal measure (If you're raising boys you'll know exactly what she's talking about when she shares those examples). You'll definitely see that Chandler lived life to the fullest. The journey of grief is a roller coaster ride at best, yet it is also a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Lisa's approach to grief involved reclining in the Lord and trusting Him to be with her through the dark valley. With God beside her, she decided to embrace the pain and allowed herself to feel deeply. She talked about other healthy ways of processing emotions and pain whether through counseling, writing, or simply sitting with the emotions; maybe with trusted friend who can bear that type of weight (in a healthy way). By accepting the loss and finding ways to adjust to a world without Chandler, Lisa not only finds encouragement for each day but peace and dare I say it (in this context of grief), she finds joy that honors her son's adventurous spirit. In her quest to find meaning amidst the sorrow, Lisa found purpose in helping others navigate their grief (her coaching services). Her writings, initially shared on a blog, became a source of comfort for many, offering a candid and raw portrayal of her journey. Through her words, Lisa provides a lifeline to those who feel isolated in their pain, reinforcing the knowledge that they are not alone. Because of the response she was receiving from her blog posts, she decided to published her story and it is now available to anyone who would love to be encourage (link below). Her story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, the possibility of joy and connection can light the way forward. Lisa Espinoza's story is a poignant testament to the enduring power of love and the human capacity to heal and find meaning amidst profound loss. Her journey through grief is a beacon of hope, showing that even in the face of unimaginable pain, you are never alone and you can trust God to know the way through.

I can't say I've always felt like an outcast, but it was a prevailing burden in my psyche's coming of age and has become a dominant theme by which I navigate emotional existence. Truth be told, living on the periphery is a house with its own charm and challenges...mostly charm...still some challenges, but not enough challenges to permanently evacuate my charming house.

World-record-holding ultrarunner Camille Herron joins me for a conversation that goes beyond racing, beyond headlines, and beyond judgment. In this episode, Camille opens up about her experiences navigating life as a neurodivergent athlete, the challenges of ADHD and autism, and how running has been both her sanctuary and her way of understanding herself.While recent controversies have surrounded her name, this conversation isn't about taking sides — it's about listening, understanding, and seeing the human behind the headlines. If you're curious about how mental health, resilience, and running intersect in complex and meaningful ways, this one's for you.

Anxiety is an epidemic in our culture today. In this series, Pastor Phil walks us through the pages of scripture for God's antidote to anxiety.  

Finding Peace When God Says No by Velocity Church

Mr. Joe passionately reveals his most inappropriate habits and personas. He speaks about the ongoing challenges that the partner faces when dealing with a mentally ill “patient partner”.

In this episode we slow down and lean into the quiet truth of Psalm 46:10 — “Be still and know that I am God.” If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stretched thin, this message is for you. Maritza gently reminds us that in the stillness, God meets us with peace, comfort, and strength.Through Scripture, personal reflection, and honest encouragement, you'll learn how to step away from the heaviness and into God's calming presence—even in the middle of life's hardest moments. Whether you're navigating autism, caregiving, or just the weight of everyday life, take a few deep breaths, press play, and be still.

I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!Udo Erasmus has been called the "father of fats", as he was educating on it long before the keto diet came about.  He is the founder of Udo's Choice award-winning supplements and is the author of the book Fats That Heal Fats that Kill, which has sold over 250,000 copies.Discover a paradigm-shifting approach to wellness that goes beyond diets and exercise routines with renowned nutrition expert and philosopher Udo Erasmus. Drawing from his extraordinary life journey—from war refugee to biochemist to wellness pioneer—Erasmus shares profound insights into what truly constitutes optimal health.At the heart of this transformative conversation lies a simple yet revolutionary idea: the root cause of our discontent isn't external circumstances but our disconnection from our inner essence. Erasmus explains how our natural process of focusing outward to understand the world leads us to lose touch with the perfect peace and unconditional love that forms our core nature. This disconnection creates what he calls "heartache"—not caused by trauma, but by forgetting our way home to ourselves.With remarkable clarity, Erasmus guides us through his eight-step process for complete wellness, addressing everything from internal awareness to physical health to our relationship with nature. He describes life itself as solar energy—sunlight stored in molecular bonds, released in our cells as the unconditional love that powers every function in our bodies. When we reconnect with this energy, we naturally feel fulfilled and shift from self-centered striving to service-oriented living.Most powerfully, Erasmus offers practical guidance for bringing our focus back inside through simple stillness practices. He challenges the notion that more doing is the answer to our problems, suggesting instead that deliberate time for being—connecting with our inner essence—transforms every aspect of our lives, from health choices to relationships to our impact on the environment.Whether you're seeking better physical health, emotional balance, or deeper meaning, this conversation offers a roadmap to wellness that begins not with changing what's outside, but with remembering what's already within.Support the showPlease rate & review my podcast with a few kind words on Apple or Spotify.

In this powerful episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters sits down with Randy Pitkin, author of Restored, for a profoundly honest conversation about trauma, healing, and inner transformation. Randy opens up about his deeply painful childhood—marked by abuse, abandonment, and molestation—and how those early wounds shaped a path of rage, shame, and destructive behaviors. Through his story, we learn how moments of clarity and support empowered Randy to seek help, confront his past, and ultimately discover peace and wholeness. He shares how shifting spiritual beliefs, embracing vulnerability, and redefining identity played key roles in his healing journey. Randy's testimony is more than just a personal narrative—it's a beacon of hope for others grappling with unresolved trauma. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that no matter how broken we feel, restoration is possible. It's a must-listen for survivors, mental health advocates, and anyone who believes in the power of resilience. 00:00 Introduction to Randy Pitkin and His Book 'Restored' 01:07 Randy's Early Life and Family Background 01:44 Trauma and Abuse in Randy's Childhood 05:30 The Impact of Trauma on Randy's Adult Life 06:35 Finding Wholeness and Peace 08:19 Randy's Spiritual Journey 12:27 Reconciliation and Final Struggles 13:12 Encouragement and Advice for Others 17:26 Reflections on Family and Personal Growth 28:16 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

midnattsolen.En: Summer had arrived, and with it, the magical midnight sun.Sv: Det var alltid ljust, även när klockan närmade sig midnatt.En: It was always light, even when the clock approached midnight.Sv: Hans vänner, Karin och Erik, hade bjudit in honom på en vandringsresa.En: His friends, Karin and Erik, had invited him on a hiking trip.Sv: Men Sven ville vara ensam.En: But Sven wanted to be alone.Sv: Han behövde tid att tänka.En: He needed time to think.Sv: De tre hade träffats på stationen.En: The three had met at the station.Sv: Karin och Erik delade glatt mat och skrattade medan de packade.En: Karin and Erik happily shared food and laughed while packing.Sv: Sven kände sig lite utanför.En: Sven felt a bit left out.Sv: Hans tankar var någon annanstans.En: His thoughts were somewhere else.Sv: Efter en stund sa han: "Jag tänker ta en annan stig idag."En: After a while, he said, "I'm thinking of taking a different path today."Sv: Karin såg oroligt på honom.En: Karin looked at him worriedly.Sv: "Men det är en mindre känd väg," sa hon försiktigt.En: "But it's a lesser-known path," she said cautiously.Sv: Erik nickade och lade till, "Ja, vi vet inte hur säker den är."En: Erik nodded and added, "Yes, we don't know how safe it is."Sv: Sven log svagt.En: Sven smiled faintly.Sv: "Jag behöver det.En: "I need it.Sv: Behöver tid för mig själv."En: I need time for myself."Sv:

han länge glömt fanns runt honom.En: On the small path, surrounded by high mountains and the clear streams, he began to notice the simplicity he had long forgotten existed around him.Sv: Efter flera timmar, svettig och trött, nådde han toppen av ett berg.En: After several hours, sweaty and tired, he reached the top of a mountain.Sv: Utsikten var häpnadsväckande.En: The view was breathtaking.Sv: Midnattsolen kastade ett gyllene sken över landskapet.En: The midnight sun cast a golden glow over the landscape.Sv: Luften var frisk och klar.En: The air was fresh and clear.Sv: Det var som om tiden stod still.En: It was as if time stood still.Sv: Här, på toppen, med hela världen under sig, kände Sven plötsligt lättnad.En: Here, at the top, with the whole world beneath him, Sven suddenly felt relieved.Sv: Han insåg att livet fortsätter, även efter ett uppbrott.En: He realized that life goes on, even after a breakup.Sv: För första gången på länge kände han sig lugn.En: For the first time in a long while, he felt calm.Sv: Naturen gav honom ett nytt perspektiv.En: Nature gave him a new perspective.Sv: Han såg tillbaka över stigen han hade vandrat och log.En: He looked back over the path he had traveled and smiled.Sv: "Jag är redo för framtiden," tänkte han.En: "I am ready for the future," he thought.Sv: Sven stannade kvar en stund, njöt av lugnet och den ändlösa dagen.En: Sven stayed for a while, enjoying the peace and the endless day.Sv: Han tog ett djupt andetag och startade sedan långsamt nedför berget igen, med ett nyvunnet hopp i hjärtat.En: He took a deep breath and then slowly started down the mountain again, with newfound hope in his heart.Sv: När han återvände till baslägret möttes han av Karin och Erik.En: When he returned to the base camp, he was met by Karin and Erik.Sv: De såg nervösa ut, men leendet på hans läppar lugnade dem.En: They looked nervous, but the smile on his lips reassured them.Sv: "Hur var det?"En: "How was it?"Sv: frågade Erik nyfiket.En: Erik asked curiously.Sv: Sven svarade enkelt, "Det var precis vad jag behövde."En: Sven simply replied, "It was just what I needed."Sv: Inget mer behövde sägas.En: Nothing more needed to be said.Sv: De tre vännerna satt tillsammans, och den ljusa natten omfamnade dem.En: The three friends sat together, and the bright night embraced them.Sv: Sven kände sig starkare nu, redo att möta vad som än låg framför honom.En: Sven felt stronger now, ready to face whatever lay ahead.Sv: Midnattssolen lyste ännu på himlen, och för honom var detta en ny början.En: The midnight sun still shone in the sky, and

Send us a textEver felt like no matter how much you accomplish, it's never enough? You're not alone. Ambition—that driving force behind achievement—can sometimes lead us into what I call "the unintentional abyss of ambition," where periods of stillness or rest become sources of self-criticism rather than rejuvenation.In this deeply personal episode, I share my own recent struggles with feeling insufficient despite evidence to the contrary. Drawing on Dr. Ben Hardy's powerful concept of "the gap and the gain," we explore why high performers often measure themselves against idealized standards (the gap) rather than acknowledging how far they've come (the gain). Through real examples—from marathon runners fixating on qualifying times rather than celebrating personal records, to my own tendency to overlook the transformative impact of my work because I haven't reached arbitrary numeric goals—we unpack this common mindset trap.The most powerful moment comes from a community member who lost 30 pounds and completely transformed his relationship with discipline. His journey from believing change was impossible to creating sustainable healthy habits for himself and his family perfectly illustrates the power of living in "the gain." I also recommend Byron Katie's book "Loving What Is: The Work" as a resource for questioning the stories we tell ourselves and optimizing our way of being rather than just our external achievements.Whether you're building a business, pursuing fitness goals, or working on personal growth, this episode will help you recognize when you're falling into the gap and give you practical tools to shift your perspective. Remember, you are special and amazing—don't let ambition blind you to that truth.

In this episode of the 'Created for This' podcast, I share personal experiences of solo parenting while my husband traveled for work, discussing the importance of self-care to prevent burnout. I highlight three aspects of rest—mental, physical, and emotional—emphasizing that true rest goes beyond superficial measures. Strategies for achieving rest include taking mental breaks, finding restful physical activities, and managing emotional health through prayer, walking, and journaling. The episode also delves into maintaining a positive mindset, backed by scripture, and the significance of seeking Jesus for peace and emotional support. I also provide practical tips for solo parents, such as asking for help and establishing routines.  Mentioned in this episode: Bach Remedies/Rescue Remedies for Kids Bach Remedies/Rescue Remedies for Adults Bach Remedies/Rescue Remedies  For the list of ways to rest, check that out here.
