Podcasts about finding peace

When you stand two inches away from a masterpiece in an art museum, you don't see a beautiful landscape or a bustling city street; you just see chaotic, messy, disjointed blobs of paint. It isn't until you take a few steps back that those chaotic strokes resolve into a brilliant work of art. In this episode, we are going to explore how we often live our lives standing two inches away from the canvas—staring directly at our daily frustrations and panicking—and we will learn the psychological art of stepping back to see the beautiful masterpiece that is actually unfolding. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D., Newport Beach Psychologist

Send us Fan MailWhat if your struggles with food have very little to do with food itself?In this powerful conversation, Cody sits down with food relationship coach, chef, and author Amber Caudle to explore the deeper emotional, psychological, and nervous system factors that drive our relationship with food.After decades of battling bingeing, restriction, food obsession, and body shame while building a successful career around food, Amber discovered that food was never the real problem. Instead, it was acting as a messenger—pointing toward unmet needs, chronic stress, emotional wounds, and a disconnection from self.  Together, Cody and Amber unpack why so many women feel trapped in cycles of emotional eating, perfectionism, and self-criticism, and how healing begins when we stop trying to control our bodies and start listening to them.This episode is a compassionate invitation to move beyond food rules and willpower and toward self-trust, nervous system regulation, and true nourishment.Whether you've struggled with dieting, emotional eating, body image, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers hope, insight, and practical wisdom for finding peace with food—and with your body.⸻In This Episode, We Discuss:Why food is often the language of unmet needsThe hidden emotional drivers behind overeating and food obsessionHow stress and nervous system dysregulation influence eating behaviorsThe difference between physical hunger and emotional hungerWhy willpower is often not the problemThe connection between trauma, food, and body trustHow busyness and over-functioning impact our relationship with nourishmentWhy women often use food as a source of comfort, relief, and self-careThe downside of health perfectionism and wellness overwhelmAging, body image, and learning to trust your body in midlifeWhat food freedom actually looks likeHow to begin making peace with your bodyWhat women are truly hungry for beyond foodAbout Amber CaudleAmber Caudle is a food relationship coach, chef, nervous system healing practitioner, and founder of Nourish Your Power.

Maternal influence significantly shapes body image and eating habits. Emotional eating is intertwined with self-perception and family dynamics. Breaking negative cycles can lead to healthier family relationships. Empowerment comes from recognizing the ability to change one's story. Weight loss is less about the numbers and more about emotional health. Self-compassion and self-trust are essential for long-term change. Mothers have the most significant influence on their daughters' body image. The way we eat reflects our beliefs about ourselves and our worth. Transformation requires commitment and support from others. Healing wounds requires self-reliance and looking inward. Liberation comes from stopping the blame game. Maternal influence significantly shapes a daughter's body image. Self-compassion is crucial for mental health and healing. Radical responsibility is essential for personal growth. The relationship with one's body affects future generations. Negative self-talk can perpetuate cycles of trauma. Women often criticize each other, reflecting their own insecurities. Changing beliefs is key to transforming one's life.

The message addresses the reality of anxiety in modern life and offers biblical wisdom for handling it. Drawing from Proverbs and the story of Jesus calming the storm, Will Dyer emphasizes that anxiety is a heavy burden affecting everyone, often intensified by both global and personal concerns. While culture suggests self-reliance or turning to technology and self-help, the sermon argues that true peace comes from trusting in God's character and presence, not our own understanding. Practical steps are provided: name the specific anxieties you face, recognize what you are trying to control, and remember that Jesus is with you in every storm. The message concludes by encouraging listeners to trust in God's goodness and to pray for calm and strength, affirming that they are never alone in their struggles.

We spend so much of our lives waiting to be happy. Waiting until we're healthier, wealthier, more successful, or finally have everything figured out. But what if peace isn't something we find in the future? What if it's something we can practice today? In this episode, we explore the art of contentment and why it's one of the most powerful mindsets for supporting your health, relationships, finances, and overall well-being. We discuss the difference between contentment and complacency, how comparison keeps us stuck, the connection between gratitude and nervous system regulation, and why emotional maturity allows us to find peace even when life isn't perfect.If you've ever felt like you're constantly chasing the next goal or waiting for life to feel "enough," this conversation is your reminder that healing and happiness don't have to be postponed. You can continue growing while also appreciating the life you're living right now.Clearly Filtered water filters (code CFPartner for 10% off): https://get.aspr.app/SH1oJ3 60 Day Gut Reset ($200 OFF) - https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1716725/checkout/order_52y48hdz?coupon_code=SECRETOFFER

After 16 years of teaching internationally and raising a family abroad, Mary McCallion found herself burned out, overwhelmed, and increasingly disconnected from her body. What began as concerns about weight gain and health symptoms eventually led her to discover that the real struggle wasn't food it was years of unresolved grief, stress, fear, and self-doubt. In this powerful conversation, Mary shares how taking a sabbatical from teaching created the space for deeper emotional healing. Through hypnosis, NLP, timeline therapy, and emotional mastery tools, she learned to quiet food noise, rebuild trust with her body, and release the belief that something was "wrong" with her that needed fixing. Mary's story is a reminder that lasting transformation doesn't come from another diet, supplement, or quick fix. It comes from addressing the emotional roots beneath the surface and learning how to approach yourself with compassion instead of fear.

"For years I believed happiness lived in a smaller body. What I finally learned was that healing my relationship with myself was the real transformation." -Lauren Rojas   What if the hardest part of weight loss isn't the food—it's the emotional story you've been carrying your entire life? In this powerful episode of Turmeric & Tequila, Kristen Olson sits down with wellness coach Lauren Rojas to discuss her 30+ year journey through diet culture, emotional eating, weight loss surgery, food addiction recovery, and ultimately finding peace with her body. Lauren shares what it was like growing up overweight, beginning diets at just 10 years old, and spending decades chasing the belief that happiness lived in a smaller body. From Weight Watchers and fad diets to food addiction programs, CrossFit, and bariatric surgery, Lauren reveals the lessons she learned along the way and how she now helps women transform their relationship with food, body image, and self-worth.

Psalm 23 is one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture, but its message goes far beyond comfort at funerals. In this message from our series, The Lord My Shepherd, we discover what it truly means to have God as our Shepherd.Through the imagery of sheep and shepherds, Psalm 23 reveals a God who provides for our deepest needs, protects us through life's darkest valleys, restores our weary souls, and faithfully leads us home. Even when fear, anxiety, loss, or uncertainty threaten to overwhelm us, we are reminded that we are never alone. The Good Shepherd walks with us.This sermon explores how God provides rest for restless hearts, renews those who feel spiritually exhausted, and offers hope through Jesus Christ—the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for His sheep and conquered sin, death, and the grave.If you've ever felt weary, afraid, overwhelmed, or spiritually cast down, this message will encourage you to trust the Shepherd who knows your needs, walks beside you in the valley, and pursues you with goodness and faithful love.

Stevens new course: Finding Peace in Everyday Life (you choose how much to pay)Support Stevens work and links to other podcasts: stevenwebb.ukDonate paypal.me/stevenwebb or Buy Steven a coffeeThis is a gentle Zen influenced meditation on giving space to thoughts, feelings and body sensations.Steven Webb guides you through the image of a closed shed and then an open field, so you can feel the difference between being crowded by what arises and giving it enough room to be seen clearly.We begin by arriving just as we are. No forcing calm. No pushing thoughts away. No trying to fix every feeling that appears. A thought may appear, a feeling may appear, a pain may appear, or a worry may appear. The practice is to notice it without immediately following it, arguing with it, explaining it, or turning it into a problem.Inside the closed shed, a thought or feeling can feel loud, close and urgent. It can seem as if it fills the whole space. Then the door opens. Light comes in. You step into a wider field with sky, air and room in every direction. The same thought may still be there, but now there is space around it. It is no longer the whole truth. It is something passing through.This meditation is for anyone who feels crowded by their own thoughts, emotions, body sensations, worries or stories. It is also a companion practice for the Stillness in the Storms episode on giving space as a form of love.Space does not mean distance from life. Space means just enough room to see clearly.Who this meditation is for:Anyone whose thoughts feel loud or crowdedPeople who want to stop fixing every feeling as soon as it appearsListeners who find Zen helpful when it stays practical and groundedAnyone learning to pause before reactingPeople who need a little more room around worry, pain or emotionWhat it may help with:Creating a gap between awareness and reactionSeeing thoughts and feelings more clearlySoftening the urge to fix everything immediatelyPractising spaciousness through guided imageryReturning to the body with more kindness and less pressureIf this meditation meant something to you, please share it, leave a review, or treat me to a coffee: stevenwebb.uk

The parent. The partner. The friend who always answers the phone. The one who keeps going because other people need them to.This meditation is for that person.In this gentle loving kindness practice, Steven Webb guides you to set down the weight of carrying others, just for a few minutes. Not forever. Not because you no longer care. But because the one who holds everyone else also needs to be held.Using three simple phrases, may I be held, may I be soft, may I rest, this meditation helps you turn kindness back towards yourself before offering it to someone you care for, and then to all those quietly carrying others.This is not about pretending the responsibility has gone. It is about softening your grip around it, giving your body a little room, and remembering that love is wider than the weight.If you are emotionally tired, caring for someone, or simply used to being the strong one, this meditation is for you.

Welcome to 5 Minutes of Peace — a moment to reflect, recharge, and renew. Each episode offers a brief meditation or inspirational reading to help you reconnect with calm, clarity, and presence.In this episode, our guest is Saw Myint, joining us from Sydney, Australia. Saw's Facebook pageSaw's WebsiteSaw shares a deeply personal reflection on mental well-being and the importance of caring for our inner life. Having experienced periods of depression earlier in life, Saw speaks openly about how spirituality and self-reflection helped him find a path toward peace — and how that journey now inspires her to help others who may feel lost or overwhelmed.Saw reminds us that much of our emotional suffering comes from worries and memories that are no longer present. Feelings of happiness or unhappiness arise and pass, just like everything else in life. When we pause long enough to notice them, we begin to see that many of our fears live only in our thoughts.Through a gentle practice of awareness, Saw encourages us to let go of what we cannot control and to use our time wisely. Life is short, she reminds us, and our time is one of our most precious resources. Choosing how we spend it — whether through service, compassion, or personal growth — shapes the meaning of our lives.This episode offers a reminder that peace often begins with a small daily moment of stillness, where we allow our thoughts to pass and reconnect with the present.Thank you for listening — and thank yourself for taking five minutes of peace.To learn more about The Peace Room, our Reiki sessions, trainings, and workshops, visitwww.ThePeaceRoom.loveJoin us again whenever you need… 5 Minutes of Peace.

I'm going to say something that might sting a little. Inconsistency is the real financial killer. Not low income. Not inflation. Not student loans. Not a lack of knowledge. Inconsistency. Because most women don't struggle with money because they don't know what to do. They struggle because they do it for a few weeks… and then stop. They budget when they feel motivated… and then stop. They save for a month… and then stop. They start strong… and then lose momentum. And every time you stop, you reset your progress. In this episode, I'm breaking down why consistency (not motivation, not perfection, not even income)is the real secret to financial success. We're also talking about how consistency builds momentum, strengthens self-trust, reduces anxiety, and creates long-term results that feel stable and sustainable. If you've ever felt like you're constantly starting over with your money, this episode is going to hit home.   In this episode, we discuss: Why inconsistency is the real reason many women feel stuck financially How inconsistency breaks momentum and keeps you in a cycle of starting over Why consistency builds self-trust and financial confidence How consistency compounds—both financially and behaviorally Why inconsistent money habits increase financial anxiety The difference between being interested in financial success vs committed to it How consistency makes financial success predictable (not random) Why systems and structure are required to stay consistent   This episode is especially helpful if you: Feel like you're constantly starting over with your money Struggle to stay consistent with budgeting, saving, or tracking Know what to do financially, but don't follow through long-term Feel behind despite making good income Want to feel more confident, calm, and in control of your finances   Why this matters: Financial success isn't built in one big moment. It's built through repeated, steady actions over time. When you're inconsistent, everything feels harder. You lose momentum. You lose clarity. You lose confidence. And eventually, you start avoiding your money altogether. But when you're consistent, everything shifts. You trust yourself more. You stay aware of your numbers. You make better decisions faster. And you start to see progress that actually sticks. Consistency removes the chaos and replaces it with stability…and over time, that stability turns into financial confidence…and real results.   Timestamps: [03:39] When you lose consistency with your financial habits, you lose confidence. Avoidance is when financial chaos ensues. [07:12] Consistency changed how Raya approached risk. Decisions used to be made out of hope and adrenaline, where now, decisions are calculated.  [13:10] Inconsistency results in stalls growth…with budgeting, investing, saving, and any other helpful habit for your finances. [20:05] Consistency forces you to prove to yourself that you mean what you say. If you say you want financial peace, are you consistently doing things that create it?   Resources Mentioned: Episode #141: How Managing My Money Has Boosted My Confidence Episode #178: Finding Peace in Your Finances: 5 Steps to Eliminate Money Anxiety City Girl Savings Personal Finance Portfolio Financial Focus Coaching Program   If you've been feeling stuck or frustrated with your progress, this episode is your reminder that you don't need a better plan…you need more consistency with the plan you already have. If you're ready to build real consistency with your money, support, structure, and accountability can make all the difference. You can learn more about coaching using the link in the show notes. You are not behind. You're just one consistent season away from everything starting to click.

Finding Peace in the Spaces Between: The Power of GlimmersHave you ever noticed how quickly an anxious mind skips past the good things? When we are stressed, our nervous system scans for danger, constantly looking for what might go wrong. But you have a choice. You can retune that scanner.In today's episode, we explore the concept of "glimmers"—micro-moments of safety, comfort, and connection that signal to your body that right now, you are okay. Using the 4-4-4-4 breathwork method and deep visualization , we practice stepping out of survival mode and into a space of genuine stillness.An Incredible Update & How to Claim Your Premium Gift!The response to our GoFundMe campaign to bring Anchored—our dedicated mindfulness and anxiety app—to market has completely blown my mind.

It is already here in the spaces between." 3 Daily Caring TipsThe Glimmer Hunt: This afternoon, deliberately scan your environment for one thing that is physically pleasant—a texture, a temperature, or a sound. It's not about forced positivity; it's about being present.The Touch Reset: When anxiety rises, press both feet flat into the floor to feel the ground beneath you, then place one hand on your chest to feel your own warmth. This breaks the spiral of thought and brings you back into your body.Pass a Glimmer On: Notice something beautiful today and tell someone about it in just a simple sentence.
