Guest Neil Markey joins host Martin for a grounded conversation about mental wellbeing, resilience, and the realities of finding calm after high-pressure lives. A former Army Ranger who later entered the corporate world as a McKinsey executive, Neil speaks openly about post-combat PTSD, burnout, and the long path toward rebuilding a workable inner life. He describes how these experiences led him to Beckley Retreats, a legal psilocybin program that integrates modern research with meditation, mindful movement, and intentional time outdoors.The episode explores the challenges of high-functioning burnout, the limits of performance culture, and the struggle veterans and leaders face when trying to reenter ordinary life with their nervous systems still wired for crisis. Martin guides a candid discussion about what actually supports post-traumatic growth and what often fails to help. Neil offers practical insights from his work with both veterans and civilians, emphasizing embodied practices, transparency, and the discipline required to heal without shortcuts.Listeners looking for an honest, science-informed approach to resilience will find this conversation steady, thoughtful, and deeply human.To learn more about Neil's work:beckleyretreats.com | @beckleyretreatsBook a call with meConnect with me on LinkedIn   Avalon Publicity & Business Services Increasing the Digital Footprint of Content Creators via Modern Publicity and Social Media ServicesSupport the showGet outside, have fun and be safe!Martin Armitage, Host of the Papa Bear Hikes Podcasthttps://www.papabearhikes.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/papa-bear-hikes/id1541491746https://www.instagram.com/papabearhikes01/

Did you know that a leading cause of drowning is exhaustion? This happens when a swimmer gets too far from shore and they are unable to make it safely back. Walking away from God is like drifting away from the safety of the shoreline. When a person drifts too far for too long, they soon find themselves so far away that they give up trying to turn back. Soon, they are drowning in a sea of rebellion, believing lies, and rejecting the truth. How can a person find their way back to God? This episode offers four suggestions, and then you can spend some time in prayer after this episode, asking God for even greater direction. This is just a starter list. By the way, if you know someone who has drifted away from God, do not assume that they will want to listen to this episode. Ask their permission first before sharing.  HELPFUL STUDY TOOLS AT KEEP THE HEART SMALL GROUP FAVORITE: Apply: Living What We Learn--31-Day Devotional by Francie Taylor Ponder the Path: A 31-Day Devotional by Francie Taylor FOR COUPLES: Rough Patches: Temporary Marital Tensions by Francie Taylor BIBLE STUDY GROUPS: ICU: In Christ Unconditionally-Heart Conditions What Do I Have to Lose: A 50-Day Devotional (Book Two) by Janice Wolfe From Overwhelmed to Overcomer by Natalie Raynes Blanton Herbs for the Heart: A Study of James by Kathy Ashley Follow Keep the Heart on Instagram Like Keep the Heart on Facebook

One of the most painful questions I get asked: "Todd, how do I forgive my partner after they cheated on me?" It feels like a monumental task when you've been so hurt, so tossed around, so dishonored by your partner's secrets.Here's what I want you to know right up front - you don't have to forgive. That's totally up to you. But if you can, it makes you feel better because forgiveness is really about the person forgiving, not the person being forgiven.In this episode, I walk you through the two different paths of forgiveness after infidelity: when you stay with your partner and when you don't. Each path looks different, but both require you to feel the pain before you can let it go.In this episode, you'll hear:• Why you don't have to forgive (but why it might help you) • The two situations where forgiveness makes sense • How to forgive when you're not staying together • What it looks like when a partner is actually safe to forgive • Why infidelity is a symptom, not the core issue • How to talk to the protective part of you that doesn't want to forgive • Living in the world of probability instead of demanding certainty • Why forgiveness is a process, not a one-time eventYou can't let go of pain that you don't feel. You got to feel first. It's like a tight fist and then you just let it go. Maybe you do that a thousand times, but you start to enjoy the feeling of being open again.Whether you stay or go, I want you to give yourself permission to soften the wall, loosen the ties, and be open to have the love you deserve.

Send us a textHave you ever experienced the painful distance of an estranged relationship? That space between you and someone you once felt close to—whether a parent, child, or sibling—can feel impossible to bridge. Yet reconciliation might be more possible than you think.In this raw, unscripted conversation, we pull back the curtain on our personal experiences with family estrangement. Gen courageously shares her journey of reconciliation with her mother for the first time publicly, revealing the emotional complexity of moving from disconnection to healing. We explore what happens in that space between the anger, disappointment, frustration, and eventual clarity that can emerge from separation.The heart of our discussion centers on what real healing requires. Self-reflection must precede reconciliation; you can't depend on others to heal your emotional wounds. Communication, both with yourself and eventually with the estranged person, forms the foundation for rebuilding trust. We examine how redefining "normal" within relationships creates space for healthier dynamics to emerge.Perhaps most poignantly, we confront the reality of time—how quickly it passes and how much is lost during periods of estrangement. As the holiday season approaches, this conversation feels especially timely for anyone considering whether reconciliation with an estranged family member might be possible.Whether you're currently experiencing estrangement or supporting someone who is, this episode offers guidance for navigating the journey from disconnection to reconciliation. The work isn't easy, but as we've discovered firsthand, the reward of rebuilding meaningful relationships makes every difficult conversation worth it.Look up, and let's elevate. Support the showhttps://linktr.ee/genthebuilder

Drift doesn't happen suddenly — it happens subtly. One small compromise, one neglected habit, and before long we find ourselves wondering, “How did I get here?” In this opening week of True North, we look at the eight ways our lives tend to drift and discover how gratitude becomes the anchor that pulls us back to Jesus, our True North.

The more you think, the more you understand, the more Christianity makes sense out of everything else in the world.” - Bethany Joy Lenz “When you understand what you believe—when you think about it and you research it and you journal about it, the further you dissect it, the more intricate and fascinating it becomes.” - Bethany Joy Lenz “God is big enough to not be intimidated or afraid of your questions, your mess, that spaghetti bowl of confusion.

Do you feel like you've drifted away from your goals? Maybe you feel like time has come and gone, and you're still in the same place you were years ago. If you've found yourself veering off track and losing focus, you're not alone. At one point or another, drift happens to most people. [...]

When Walter Hill first encountered Jesus as a teenager, it changed everything. He came from a broken home –– a father who wanted nothing to do with faith, a mother who passed away when he was just 15, and a season of deep anger and confusion. But thanks to the persistence of a friend, Walter found himself at a youth event where the Gospel reached past his hurt and brought him home to Jesus. That initial, transformative encounter sparked a lifelong journey of faith that he now hopes to pass on to others. In this episode, Walter shares his powerful story, including the mentors who shaped him, the spiritual lessons he's learned along the way, and the faith that still fuels his ministry today.Walter also shares about the heart behind his book, Amazed Again: Reclaiming Christ's Fading Fire. It began as a message to his son, who had recently expressed interest in ministry, but quickly grew into a call to all believers. Walter reflects on the challenges of keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the reality of spiritual warfare, and the dangers of allowing our relationship with church to replace our relationship with Christ. He also speaks to the everyday distractions that can slowly draw our hearts away from the joy we once knew in Jesus –– and how we can rediscover it. With insights from John 15 and his own journey of abiding in Christ, Walter offers a refreshing reminder to stay close to the true source of our strength and hope.

Your brain wants to keep you safe. Your creativity wants to set you free. And somewhere between those two is you—spiraling, second-guessing, and crying into your draft wondering if you accidentally deleted your own soul.In this episode of The Neurodivergent Creative Podcast, Caitlin talks about what it's like when you lose your creative connection, and how to gently find your way back. Whether you're writing a novel, launching a project, or trying something new for the first (or umpteenth) time, this is your invitation to soften into being a beginner again.

Alignment isn't just a buzzword—it's that elusive feeling when life flows effortlessly and you're energized by your path rather than drained by it. When was the last time you truly felt that way?In this deeply personal episode, I share my own recent struggles with misalignment and why I took a break from podcasting. Whether you're feeling stuck, unmotivated, or just "off" without knowing why, your body and spirit are sending you messages worth paying attention to.We dive into the specific signs that appear when you're out of alignment—from the mental-emotional symptoms like procrastination and anxiety to the spiritual disconnection that leaves you questioning your purpose. Most importantly, I explain how these emotional states inevitably manifest in your physical body through fatigue, pain, and disrupted sleep patterns.Rather than just identifying the problem, I offer practical, actionable tools for each type of misalignment. Learn how decluttering one small space can energetically reset your entire outlook, how tapping techniques can rewire negative self-talk, and why a simple five-minute body scan might unlock emotions you've stored for decades (including a powerful personal story about my own unexpected emotional release after 20 years).The beauty of realignment is that it doesn't require massive life overhauls—just small, consistent steps that create momentum. Your natural state is one of flow and purpose. If you're feeling anything less than that right now, this episode will guide you back to yourself with compassion, clarity, and concrete practices to implement today.Ready to rediscover what alignment feels like? Your journey back to flow starts here.To learn more about Mindy CLICK HERE

After letting go of what no longer serves us, we're often left in an in-between space—unsure, ungrounded, and asking, Who am I now? In this episode, I'm joined by my partner Liam as we explore what it means to reconnect with ourselves after major life shifts. Together, we reflect on our own journeys through change, identity, and rediscovery—both individually and within our relationship.We talk about rediscovering old passions, trying new things, embracing solitude, and rebuilding trust in our own voices. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and begin the journey back—not to your past self, but to the version of you that's unfolding now.Because sometimes, finding your way back to yourself isn't about going backward—it's about meeting yourself right where you are, with a little more honesty, grace, and love.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are taking a deeper look at stress in an attempt to find our way back to peace. No matter what your level of stress is, everyone can benefit from a more peaceful existence because life can sometimes feel like an endless juggling act, and let's be real—most of us are using bowling pins instead of tennis balls. Between the pressure to perform, the nagging feeling of not being good enough, and the constant stress of “adulting,” it's no wonder so many of us are stuck in a cycle of burnout. But here's the good news: there's a way to hit the pause button, reclaim your peace, and rewrite the narrative playing in your head. In this episode, we're diving into how to manage stress, tackle the relentless inner critic, and embrace the idea that you're not just “enough”—you're extraordinary. We'll explore why so many of us feel like we're falling short, unpack the serious toll this mindset takes on our health, and share practical, empowering strategies to help you flip the script. Because let's face it, you deserve to feel good about yourself—and that starts today. Ready? With peace being the ultimate destination, let's chart a course offering valuable pitstops along the way. Maybe you sometimes feel stress but not sure it's all bad or that you suffer from too much stress. Maybe the word Peace conjures up tie-die an hemp necklaces instead of a tranquil existence. Let's start with a few definitions to make sure we're all on the same page: Stress: a feeling of emotional strain and pressure that occurs when a person perceives an event as taxing or endangering their well-being.  Peace: freedom from disturbance; tranquility. Ok, simple enough? Hardly. At Healthline, I found Why Americans Are More Stressed Today Than They Were in the 1990s Kira M. Newman helps us understand What to Do When You Never Feel Good Enough found on Greater Good On Therapy in a Nutshell's YouTube channel, I found, Stress, Anxiety, and Worry Self-regulation tools can be divided into quick fixes for immediate relief and long-term health practices for sustained well-being.  Quick Fixes: Excellent for acute stress or when you need fast relief. Long-Term Practices: Create a buffer against future stress and support sustained emotional balance. Integration: Use quick fixes during high-stress moments while building long-term habits for resilience. Quick Fixes These are tools you can use in the moment to calm stress or regain focus. While effective for immediate needs, they don't address the underlying causes of dysregulation. Deep Breathing Take 4-5 deep breaths, inhaling for a count of 4, holding for 4, and exhaling for 4. Quick relaxation of the nervous system. 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique Identify 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, and 1 you taste. Redirects focus and alleviates anxiety. Progressive Muscle Relaxation Tense and release muscle groups from head to toe. Relieves physical tension caused by stress. Short Walk or Movement Break A brisk 5-10 minute walk outside or light stretching. Boosts mood by releasing endorphins and clearing the mind. Journaling for 5 Minutes Write down your thoughts or worries. Provides mental clarity and emotional relief. Mindful Distraction Engage in a quick, enjoyable activity like a puzzle or music. Offers temporary relief by shifting attention. Long-Term Health Practices These build resilience and create a foundation for improved self-regulation over time. Mindfulness Meditation Commit to 10-20 minutes daily to cultivate present-moment awareness. Reduces stress and improves emotional regulation. Exercise Routine Regular aerobic activity like walking, yoga, or cycling 3-5 times a week. Strengthens mind-body connection and releases stress-reducing chemicals. Sleep Hygiene Prioritize 7-8 hours of quality sleep with a consistent bedtime routine. Regulates mood, energy, and cognitive function. Healthy Nutrition Focus on a balanced diet with whole foods, reducing caffeine and sugar. Supports mental clarity and stable energy levels. Therapeutic Practices Engage in regular therapy, counseling, or self-reflection exercises. Addresses root causes of stress and emotional dysregulation. Regular Gratitude Practice Write down 3 things you're grateful for daily. Shifts perspective and fosters resilience. Learning Emotional Regulation Skills Techniques like cognitive reframing or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Provides tools to manage triggers and stress more effectively. CHALLENGE:  Start small. Identify one stressor in your life and address it with a calming technique we discussed, like deep breathing or reframing your thoughts. Then, commit to taking one small step toward asking for support or setting a boundary—because your peace is worth protecting.   I Know YOU Can Do It!

What do you do when the people of God fail and you find yourself questioning God because of it? How do you deconstruct your misunderstandings about God, His people and life without deconstructing your faith altogether? For author, Bible teacher, and medical doctor Lina AbuJamra healing from the hurt she experienced from her church led her on an unexpected journey in her faith. What started as a deep disappointment in people led her to feeling let down by God. It took a lot of time and realizations that what she had come to believe about God and how He worked wasn't based on His truth and that perhaps deconstructing the falsehoods and misunderstandings about God, wasn't a bad thing. However, as things were being taken apart in her understanding of who God was, she also needed to reconstruct what was true so that her faith would strengthen rather than fade away. It wasn't a quick process, but a holy one and one that she wrote about in her book, Fractured Faith: Finding Your Way Back to God in an Age of Deconstruction. In this helpful conversation, Aubrey and Lina talk about why deconstruction is often rooted in our disappointments, ways in which we can heal from Church hurt, and how sometimes our doubts, questions and hurt can lead us into a deeper faith. If you or someone you know has walked through being hurt by the Church and has found themselves unraveling, this episode will encourage you that perhaps through your hurt, God is wanting to rebuild in you a stronger, more resilient faith and life in Him.   Website: https://www.livingwithpower.org/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/linaabujamra Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/livingwithpower/ Book: Unshakeable Moxie: Growing a Resilient Faith https://a.co/d/34veaB2 Fractured Faith: Finding Your Way Back to God in an Age of Deconstruction https://a.co/d/8B3xmyM Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This: A Christian Doctor's Thoughts on Sex, Shame, and Other Troublesome Issues https://a.co/d/32hNHjX You asked for it.
