When headlines, social media, and everyday stress collide, anxiety can easily take over. In this episode, Jennifer Slattery and Carol McCracken explore why our minds and bodies respond so strongly to cultural chaos—and how God gently leads us back to peace. Download the free companion guide for this episode here: Finding Peace in a Chaotic World: A Faith-Based Guide to Quieting Anxiety and Re-centering Your Heart You’ll hear: how stress and overstimulation affect the brain why anxious thoughts spiral so quickly practical grounding tools rooted in faith how Jesus modeled withdrawal and reconnection with the Father why joy, Scripture, and community strengthen emotional resilience If you’ve felt overwhelmed lately, this conversation will remind you: you’re not broken—and you’re not alone. God meets us right where we are and leads us toward calm, clarity, and renewed trust. Scripture referenced in this episode: Proverbs 3:5–6“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Isaiah 26:3–4“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You… The Lord Himself is the Rock eternal.” Psalm 46:1–2“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear…” Psalm 91:1–4God as refuge, shelter, and covering. Isaiah 41:10“Do not fear, for I am with you… I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Colossians 3:15“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts…” Gospel accounts of Jesus withdrawing to pray(Mark 1:35-39; Luke 5:15-16; Luke 6:12) Reflective Questions: Use these for journaling, small groups, or personal reflection. When I feel overwhelmed, what tends to trigger my anxiety most—noise, conflict, social media, uncertainty, or something else? What physical signs tell me I’m becoming dysregulated or stressed (sleep disruption, tension, racing thoughts, irritability)? Which grounding practice helps me reconnect with God most easily—breathing, Scripture, silence, journaling, nature, prayer, or community? Where might God be inviting me to “withdraw” from input right now so I can hear His voice more clearly? What truth from Scripture do I need to return to when my thoughts begin to spiral? What is one small step I can take this week to pursue peace intentionally instead of waiting for my circumstances to change? If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who may be feeling overwhelmed.

Dr. Huang's insights serve as a reminder of the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare and the impact of connection during difficult times. Tyrer- Cuzick Risk Assessment Calculator: HERE Ontario Breast Screening Program at 1-800-668-9304   Takeaways Beverly emphasizes the importance of sharing her story to empower other women. Advocacy for one's health is crucial, especially in navigating medical systems. Understanding breast density is vital for assessing risk factors for breast cancer. Women should not hesitate to self-refer for mammograms when necessary. Emotional processing of a cancer diagnosis can include anger and acceptance. Community support plays a significant role in coping with health challenges. Open conversations with loved ones about health issues can alleviate fears. Women often feel the need to buffer others' emotions during their own health crises. Self-advocacy in healthcare is essential for receiving appropriate care. The absence of connection can lead to feelings of isolation during health struggles.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Personal Connection 02:27 Beverly's Diagnosis and Its Impact 04:05 Advocacy for Women's Health 06:27 The Importance of Mammograms 09:21 Understanding Breast Density and Risk Factors 11:51 Navigating the Healthcare System 14:15 The Tyroacusic Breast Cancer Risk Assessment 16:51 Personal Stories and Realizations 19:37 Processing the Diagnosis 22:22 Emotional Responses and Support 26:34 Understanding Grief and Anger 28:07 Finding Peace in the Journey 30:04 The Gift of Time and Preparation 31:27 Choosing Love Over Fear 34:41 The Power of Connection 38:48 Navigating Conversations Around Illness 51:05 Navigating Personal Pain and Collective Suffering 54:05 Communicating Health Challenges with Loved Ones 56:59 The Importance of Humor and Lightness in Serious Times 01:01:28 Understanding Breast Density and Health Advocacy 01:07:34 The Need for Informed Healthcare Decisions 01:11:56 Empowerment Through Knowledge and Community Support   Stay Wild.

What if the stress, anxiety, and burnout we feel aren't signs that we're doing too much, but signs that we're plugged into the wrong source? It's time for us to unplug so we can actually recharge. In this episode, Christine Caine invites us to follow the example of Jesus, who regularly withdrew from the crowds to pray, reminding us that peace, clarity, and strength are found not in constant connection, but in God's presence. As our devices demand more of us than ever, this message calls us to unplug from the virtual world and intentionally plug into the One who renews our souls and restores our joy. ✨ Be equipped and empowered to discover: ● Why Jesus intentionally withdrew from people to be with the Father. ● How constant digital connection is fueling anxiety, burnout, and distraction. ● What it practically looks like to unplug from technology and plug into God.

This past week really tested my need for control. I had a lot going on emotionally as I was getting ready to travel back to New York to honor the passing of my Aunt Ronnie. There was a snowstorm moving across the country, flights were being delayed and canceled, and plans kept changing. Emotions were already high, and with everything unfolding the way it was, I had to keep reminding myself that there were things outside of my control that I just had to accept. As the week unfolded, I could feel anxiety start to creep in with all the unknowns. I can't control the weather or the flights, but I can control how present I stay and how I choose to show up in the middle of it. This is a reflection on surrender and releasing that grip. I share a story from my teenage years as a lifeguard, helping a frightened little girl learn how to float, and how breath, trust, and letting go allowed her to be supported by the water. On today's Wise Walk, I invite you to slow down and reflect on where you may be holding on too tightly, and become aware of what you can control or release to help you discover peace and freedom amidst the uncertainty. When you notice anxiety, stress, fear, or a lack of safety coming up, how much of that is a need for control, and how much might be a trigger from something else? Are you able to identify the root of that emotion and consider how you might respond differently so you can reduce anxiety, stress, or fear? How do you gain awareness and focus on the present, when you're facing resistance or situations that are outside of your control? Is there an area of your life where you realize that you may be trying to control something that isn't actually yours to control? As you take yourself on a Wise Walk, can you notice what's triggering your stress and consider whether more realistic expectations might help you feel supported and grounded? Can you visualize yourself floating, breathing, and being supported by what's around you, trusting that you are safe and worthy, exactly as you are? Are there tasks or goals in your life that are distracting you from where you want to go, or are they supporting you in feeling more at peace and showing up the way you want? Can you feel good about the small steps you're taking so that even when things don't go as planned, you know you that did what you could? If circumstances don't allow you to show up in the way you originally intended, how might you still be present in a different way, whether in spirit, intention, or connection? Can you shift your energy away from needing things to happen in a very specific way and open yourself to new ways of participating through the things you can control? It's my hope that we can float together. That we can surrender, release, and find a little more peace, letting Mother Nature, the water, and the elements support us along the way.  As always, I'd love to hear what you took away from today's episode, so please feel free to reach out and send me a DM.  I'm sending good thoughts your way and hoping that you feel supported in all the ways that really matter to you. I look forward to next Thursday's Wise Walk. In this episode: [03:44] When I was in high school I was a lifeguard at the Marriott Hotel. I remember helping a five-year-old girl who had a fear of floating.  [05:55] I coached her on how to let go and to let the water do the work for her. She needed to release anxiety, stress, and control. The more she released her tension and grip, the easier it became for her to float. [06:19] This is true in life. If we're resisting, we're fighting against the grain. Accepting safety and support can appear in a way that we're not used to. [07:01] The art of surrendering is what will keep us afloat. I needed to remind myself of this during this stressful week with so many factors coming into play. [08:08] The best thing I can do is surrender and do the things I can control. We need to see surrender as a strength. It's not defeat. [09:20] I'm also separating from holding on too tightly, expecting things to happen the way that I want them to. [10:47] I feel safe and supported right now from the Universe and the individuals who decide whether it's safe to fly or not. [11:08] I'm going to stay in my lane, and visualize myself floating in the water. Memorable Quotes: "There are things outside of my control that I just have to accept, and I have to do the best I can with what's in front of me." - Mary Tess "We can't control the weather or the airlines or the flights, but we can control certain things in our life, and we can also surrender what we can't control." - Mary Tess "When we let go and release the attachment to what we think should happen, it allows us to move through things with more peace." - Mary Tess "Trying to control things we can't control just creates more stress, more anxiety, and more fear of uncertainty." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Colette Baron-Reid Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

In this episode of Mind Your Head, I sit down with Hayley Vernon for one of the most honest conversations we've had on the show. We go right back to the beginning — Hayley opens up about a rough, traumatic childhood, never feeling safe, and how those early years shaped the way she's moved through life as an adult. From there we unpack the big themes that have followed her journey: reinvention, shame, validation, identity, boundaries, self-worth, and what it actually takes to forgive yourself for past choices and old versions of you that no longer align. We also talk about Hayley's life-changing journey to faith — how it filled a void she'd carried for a long time, and what finding God has looked like in the real world… learning to slow down, find peace, and feel love within herself. This one's raw, reflective, and real. If you've ever felt lost, or stuck in a version of yourself you've outgrown — this episode will hit.This episode is brought to you by True Protein. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SHOP NOW!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Don't miss out - hit FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE to stay updated with our latest episodes!

What if the life you worked so hard to build still left you feeling empty? Host Chuck Thuss guides this conversation with Jerry Dale, whose life has spanned the heights of the music industry and the adult entertainment world behind closed doors. Jerry experienced success, access, and influence — and the quiet disconnection that followed when identity became tied to achievement. Together, they explore the internal conflict of living misaligned with your values, the wake-up calls that force you to slow down, and the moment Jerry chose a different path. This episode isn't about perfection or quick fixes. It's about honesty, reckoning, and what happens when you stop running from the truth and choose peace instead.

A special release in honor of National Women Physicians Day 2026. Today's conversation is an invitation to notice overfunctioning with compassion. Overfunctioning may have helped you succeed in medicine but it often costs you intimacy, energy, and connection.   Overfunctioning and underfunctioning, as well as the resentment that follows, are a familiar relational dynamic. Overfunctioning is not a personality flaw; It's a role we step into. It is shaped by our training, context, and culture.   When we pause, rest, and allow space, we usually find that the world doesn't fall apart. Others step forward in their own time and way. Even when it feels unfamiliar, this shift can offer clarity, growth, and alignment with how we truly want to live and lead.     Pearls of Wisdom • Overfunctioning is a relational role developed in response to internal and external expectations. • When one person consistently does more, others often do less. Over time, the systems adapted this way. • Resentment is information. It often signals over-capacity. • Doing less can be an act of love that allows systems and relationships to reorganize. • When we stop stabilizing what's falling around us and tend to our own nervous systems first, is when change begins.     Reflection Questions Where in your life are you doing more than your share simply because you are capable? What feels most uncomfortable about stepping back? What might happen if you rest or stop managing? What would love do this week in your relationships or at work? Join me for coaching or a retreat to explore how to change the overfunctioning habit.  www.jessiemahoneymd.com In Mindful Love Small Group Coaching we specifically look at overfunctioining in the context of our intimate relationships. In Leading from the Heart and Transition Well Small Group Coaching  we work on it in the context of career and life pivots and leadership.  At retreats and advanced coaching, we work on moving beyond it in every realm of your life. If you are interested in having me speak to your group on overfunctioning or any of the topics discussed in this podcast, find out more here www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking or email me at jessie@jessiemahoneymd.com.

 "It doesn't matter where you are on the path, it just matters which direction you're facing. I honestly wish I could say that my life is perfect, and since I've gone back to the temple everything has just fallen into place for me. There are times when I kill my sense of joy by comparing myself to other people, but I have to remind myself that it's okay where I'm at. And just like in the creation on the second day, the third day, it is still good. We are still good, and God still sees us as good.

Today’s Bible Verse: “For even his own brothers did not believe in him.” — John 7:5 (NIV) John 7:5 is a sobering reminder that even Jesus experienced misunderstanding and unbelief from those closest to Him. His own family struggled to see who He truly was. This verse shows that rejection or doubt from others does not mean God’s purpose has failed. “Want to listen without ads?

In this deeply honest and practical message, John Crawford speaks from lived experience about anxiety, fear, and the quiet weight many people carry every day. With vulnerability and wisdom, he reminds us that anxiety is not a failure of faith and it is not something to be ashamed of. It is part of living in a broken world, and it is something God cares deeply about.Drawing from Philippians 4, John unpacks what it really means to be anxious for nothing. Not by denying our struggles, but by learning how to respond when anxiety shows up. Through powerful stories, including moments from his own life, he explains the difference between happiness and joy, and why peace is rooted in relationship with God rather than circumstances.This message offers practical, biblical steps for anyone who feels overwhelmed, restless, or stuck in cycles of worry. It gently leads listeners toward praise, prayer, and a renewed focus on God's love.If anxiety has been shaping your thoughts or stealing your peace, this episode offers hope, clarity, and a way forward grounded in grace.

Are we living in the most anxious generation ever? In this powerful and hope-filled conversation, Max Lucado joins us to talk about anxiety, mental health, and the unseen struggles so many kids and teens are facing today—and what parents can do about it.With constant access to phones, social media, and nonstop information, anxiety often shows up sideways in our kids through anger, withdrawal, or fear. Max explains what's happening in the brain, why anxiety feels like an alarm that never shuts off, and how parents can become a soft place to land when emotions run high.We also talk about the importance of parents addressing anxiety in their own lives, how worry steals joy and peace, and why our presence (not perfection) is what God desires most. Max shares encouragement for praying parents, reminding us that Jesus never turned away a parent who asked for help for their child. Here is some of what we cover:  Why today's kids are facing unprecedented levels of anxiety The physical and emotional toll of chronic worry Why a parent's physical presence matters more than we realize Max Lucado's personal faith journey and what God taught him about presence over performance Connect with Max Lucado:  Instagram: Max Lucado (@maxlucado) Facebook: Max Lucado Website: Max Lucado Links Mentioned:   Calm Thoughts for Kids: 90 devotions for Anxious Days  Tame Your Thoughts: By Max Lucado Anxious for Nothing by Max Lucado Hermie Series–Buzby and the Grumble Bees **SIGN UP to Join Heather and Megan at Pro Love Saturday for Embrace Grace Related Episodes: Life Empowered by the Holy Spirit :: Max Lucado [Ep 381] You Are Never Alone :: Max Lucado [Ep 298] From Overwhelmed to Anchored: Replacing the Lies of Motherhood with God's Truth :: Erica Gwynn [Ep 544] Featured Sponsors:  Cove : Make protecting your home one of your New Year's resolutions!

Work with me: https://jointherainmakers.com/choosetime?utm_src=organicyoutube Get your free demo: https://jointherainmakers.com/demo?utm_src=organicyoutube ------- At 3:02AM, I woke up with a question that refused to let go: "What do I actually want from my life?" Not the "Instagram answer." Not the "entrepreneur answer." Not the "be a good husband, father, provider" answer. The real one. At 37, I found myself replaying every decision, every success, every sacrifice… wondering how I got here and whether the direction I was sprinting toward was even the right one anymore. Doubt can chain you down. But if you're honest enough to face it… it can also become a compass. So I went downstairs. Opened my journal. And poured everything out. What came out turned into the deepest personal reset I've ever had. 16 powerful "dials" I now use to recalibrate my life, my business, my relationships, my purpose. In this video, I'm sharing them. Not polished. Not performative. Not "guru wisdom." Just the raw, unfiltered reflections of an entrepreneur, husband, father, and human trying to build a life that actually feels meaningful… not just impressive. You'll hear me talk about: Why "success" nearly cost me my peace and my family presence The brutal truth about imbalance, burnout, and ambition How I define purpose now (and how totally different it is) Legacy, love, leadership, and why impact matters more than metrics Why harmony matters more than "work-life balance" Gratitude, impermanence, joy, and being truly alive And why the world doesn't need more "successful" people… It needs more grounded, fulfilled, fully-present ones. If you've ever woken up in the middle of the night questioning your direction… If you're "doing great" externally but wrestling internally… If you want a life that feels aligned, not just impressive… This one's for you. __ In this video: 00:00 — The 3:02AM Question That Changed Everything 01:06 — Turning Chaos Into Clarity (16 Life "Dials") 01:12 — The One Question That Unraveled a Thousand Others 01:45 — My Notes, My North Star: The "Dials" That Guide My Life 02:06 — When Success Crashes Into Reality 03:07 — Finally Asking: "What Do I Truly Want?" 03:35 — Why Fulfillment Doesn't Live in Your Bank Account 04:43 — Meaning Isn't Found.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to kick off a two-part series around becoming a peaceful CEO. As business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders, we often grapple with the relentless pressure to move faster, respond quicker, and carry more responsibilities. I want to remind you that if you feel this pressure, it doesn't mean you're failing; it means you're carrying a weight that comes with leadership. Our goal isn't to eliminate pressure but to learn how to carry it well. Today, we delve into one of the most significant challenges we face: the tyranny of the urgent. Coined by Charles Hummel in 1967, this concept refers to immediate pressing demands that overshadow our truly important long-term goals.

Mortality, fragility, forgiveness, and peace. Journalist and author Stan Grant offers a genre-bending work of prayer, memory, and theology shaped by fatherhood, Aboriginal inheritance, masculinity, and mortality.“I see this as a gift from God, a creator that allows us to find each other again.”In this conversation with Evan Rosa, Grant reflects on his 2025 book, Murriyang: Song of Time—his philosophical and spiritual exploration of the human place in the world and faith as lived experience rather than abstraction. He looks closely at his father's life in order to come to terms with his own, the meaning of fatherhood and how to understand and forgive our fathers, masculinity and vulnerability, Aboriginal history and identity, masculinity and vulnerability, forgiveness and sacrifice, prayer and poetry, and the whole human experience of time and eternity.Episode Highlights“We inherit our father's cups.”“We must forgive our fathers. It is the only way that we can forgive ourselves.”“We cannot survive without each other.”“Man is not made for history. History is made for man.”“ … to confront the beauty of that mortality—my father's final gift to me is his death.”About Stan GrantStan Grant is an Australian journalist, author, and public intellectual of Wiradjuri, Kamilaroi, and Dharawal heritage.

In this episode, Dr. Josh Philpot and Dr. Richard Caldwell discuss how Christians can deal with anxiety regarding politics and the constant drama of the news cycle. Examining 1 Thessalonians 4 and John 16, they explore the biblical command to live a quiet life while remaining responsible citizens. They address whether the perceived chaos is real or amplified by technology and emphasize that true rest is found in the sovereignty of God and the victory of Christ, not in temporal political solutions.

Fertility, motherhood, and grief are rarely experienced in isolation. They overlap, compound, and quietly reshape how a woman sees herself, her body, and her future.Many women move through loss while still being expected to function. They carry grief while building families. They navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and fertility decisions while holding careers, relationships, and public identities together. From the outside, it can look composed. Inside, it often feels fragile, confusing, and deeply human.This is not failure.This is not weakness.And it is not something that needs to be fixed.In this hol+ conversation, Dr. Taz sits down with Whitney Port for an honest, grounding conversation about motherhood without the myth, and finding peace after profound loss. Whitney shares what unfolded after The Hills, including the loss of her father, who was also her business partner, and how grief reshaped her identity, marriage, and mental health during a pivotal season of life.Together, they explore the realities that are often softened or skipped entirely. Pregnancy that does not feel joyful. Postpartum that feels disorienting. Breastfeeding struggles that take a real toll on mental health. And the invisible pressure women carry to do motherhood and fertility “the right way.”Whitney also opens up about her fertility journey, including recurrent miscarriage, IVF, surrogacy, and failed transfers. She speaks candidly about the emotional spiral that can happen when you are someone used to achieving goals, but suddenly face something you cannot control. Rather than centering the story on struggle alone, this conversation focuses on what helped her find steadier ground: learning to stop future-spiraling, returning to the present, and holding gratitude alongside grief.This episode is a reminder that healing does not mean bypassing pain. It means allowing space for it, while slowly reconnecting to meaning, relationships, and self-trust. It reframes fertility and motherhood not as tests of worth or discipline, but as deeply relational, emotional, and embodied experiences.Dr. Taz and Whitney Port discuss: • Life after The Hills and the identity shift that followed • Losing a parent and navigating grief while building a family • Motherhood without the myth of constant joy • Pregnancy, postpartum, and mental health honesty • Breastfeeding pressure, pumping, and maternal burnout • Fertility, IVF, surrogacy, and the emotional weight of uncertainty • Why high-achieving women struggle most with loss of control • How to stop future-spiraling and return to the present • Sharing your story publicly while protecting what is sacredAbout Whitney PortWhitney Port is a television personality, entrepreneur, podcast host, and creative consultant.

In this talk, we'll  explore what it truly means to find refuge—not through controlling life, but by coming home to the living truth of our experience. Our deepest refuge—the source of peace, safety, and freedom—is discovered through direct realization of reality itself. Drawing on the Buddhist understanding of refuge, we explore three timeless and archetypal gateways: • Awareness (Buddha) — the wakeful presence that knows our experience • Truth (Dharma) — the wisdom that liberates us when we see clearly • Love (Sangha) — the tenderness and belonging that arise through connection Through short guided reflections, we practice opening to each of these portals, allowing refuge to become a lived and embodied experience rather than an abstract idea. This talk is especially supportive if you are: Seeking inner peace during times of uncertainty or stress Exploring mindfulness, meditation, or Buddhist teachings Longing for a deeper sense of belonging and spiritual homecoming Interested in awakening compassion and wise awareness in daily life   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

Has the shaking of the world left you feeling paralyzed or unsure of how to step forward? Are you looking for a safe harbor in the midst of the "Venezuela events" and global instability? What if the chaos around you is actually an invitation to create an unshakeable sanctuary within you? In this urgent and deeply healing transmission, Michael Sandler shares a powerful nervous system reset designed for right now. Following the recent events that have shaken many to the core, Michael channels Archangel Michael to deliver a message of safety, grounding, and empowerment. This isn't just about surviving the news cycle; it is about finding your footing when the ground feels like it is moving. Michael explains why 2026 is the "Sanctuary Year", how to move from a "lizard brain" reaction to a heart-centered power, and provides specific, real-time energetic clearings to remove the ancestral fears of war and chaos from your field. Key Topics: The "Sanctuary Year": Why Archangel Michael is relabeling 2026 as a year of safety and haven, despite the external "quickening." Turtle Breathing: A specific breathing technique ("Tai Chi" style) to immediately slow down a racing mind and find peace. A powerful grounding method to root yourself into the earth when you feel "spun" by world events. Why asking "How's the weather?" no longer serves us, and the brave question you must ask instead: "How is your soul doing?" The science behind why chanting "OM" can double your cell membrane's water-holding capacity and instantly switch off the fight-or-flight response. The "Bunny" Strategy: Why looking at "cute and fuzzy" things (like Rabbit Island in Japan!) is legitimate medicine for a fried nervous system. This episode is a balm for your spirit. If you have been holding your breath waiting for the next shoe to drop, this message will help you exhale, remember your power, and realize that your calm is not passive; it is powerful.
