Have you ever wondered if there's something spiritual happening beneath what you're carrying? You're doing the work.You're praying.You're going to therapy.You're trying to take responsibility. And still… something feels off. In this episode, Dr. Alison sits down with Theologian Joel Muddamalle to explore spiritual warfare — not through fear or sensationalism, but through clarity and discernment. Together, they examine: How the enemy works through systems, structures, and misaligned desires The difference between personal responsibility and spiritual opposition Why obsession with darkness is just as unhelpful as dismissing it How to stay grounded in Christ's victory rather than panic This conversation reframes spiritual warfare as something far more ordinary — and far more hopeful — than we often imagine. Not demon hunting.Not blame shifting.But cultivating wholeness. Because the center of the Christian story is not darkness.It's restoration. If you've ever felt confused about this topic — or unsure how to integrate faith, mental health, and spiritual reality — this episode offers grounded wisdom for everyday life.

You know recovery is supposed to be more than just not drinking, but the day still feels like you’re mostly just getting through it. You might just be missing the foundation that makes recovery actually feel like something. Here’s what I know to be true: sobriety removes the alcohol. Recovery heals the patterns underneath it. And those are two very different things. But understanding the difference is one thing — living it on an ordinary Tuesday is another. In this episode, I’m walking you through a full recovery-focused day — hour by hour — and showing you exactly what living in recovery looks like in practice. We’re grounding it all in the three things addiction needs to thrive, and what you can do every single day to take them away from it. Not a perfect day. An intentional one. If you’ve ever wondered what recovery is actually supposed to look like — or you’ve been sober for a while and still feel like something’s missing — this one’s for you, my friend.   IN THIS EPISODE: The real difference between sobriety and recovery — and why it changes everything about how you approach your day The three things addiction needs to survive — and how recovery dismantles all three of them Why emotional isolation is just as dangerous as physical isolation — even if your calendar is full Why 99% of recovery — especially early on — is nervous system regulation, and what that actually looks like in your morning The eye contact story — and how breaking anxiety down into tiny pieces changed everything for me What active participation really means — and how to tell the difference between showing up and actually doing the work Why avoidance and procrastination aren’t laziness — they’re emotion regulation, and what to do about it instead How to close your day with honesty and intention — without the shame spiral This is the episode I wish I’d had when I first got sober. Hit play, my friend — let’s walk through the day together.   RESOURCES & LINKS MENTIONED: Episode 420 — Why You’re Sober But Still Have the Same Problems Episode 421 — Overwhelmed by Sobriety Advice?

When life starts chasing you, where do you run? Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor shares the viral story of a baby monkey abandoned at a zoo in Tokyo, bullied by other monkeys, and clinging to a stuffed animal for comfort. The image is heartbreaking. The monkey runs from group to group, searching for belonging, searching for safety, searching for something to hold onto. And eventually, after days of isolation, it finds acceptance. Baylor connects this powerful image to the human experience. At some point, we've all felt like that monkey. Overwhelmed. Outnumbered. Running from problems that seem bigger than us. Bills. Career pressure. Relationship strain. Identity confusion. The question isn't whether storms or challenges come. The question is: where do you run when they do? Do you have a foundation? A community? A faith? A person? A place? Something steady that keeps you from running endlessly? Because running without refuge is exhausting. Eventually, what you're running from catches up. The deeper layer of this episode challenges listeners to examine belonging. Not just belonging to a job title or social circle, but belonging to yourself. Are you the same person everywhere? Or are you constantly switching masks depending on the room? Wearing different versions of yourself is draining. Integrity creates alignment. Alignment creates peace. And finally, Baylor offers hope. The same internet that spreads the monkey's story across the world overnight is proof that life can shift quickly. Opportunity can appear suddenly. Recognition can happen unexpectedly. Change is always closer than it feels. But you must keep going. Keep building your foundation. Keep showing up as you. Because you're one moment away from everything changing. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why everyone needs a safe place to run The danger of trying to do life alone How belonging shapes identity and confidence Why authenticity reduces emotional exhaustion The power of having a strong personal foundation How quickly life can change when you stay consistent Featured Quote "When life starts chasing you, you better know where you run."

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, it's still not enough? As a working Christian mom, anxiety often doesn't show up as panic — it shows up as pressure. Pressure to perform. Pressure to be present. Pressure to balance faith, work, and motherhood perfectly. And beneath that pressure is a quiet whisper: “You're not enough.” In this episode, we're unpacking the subtle voice of anxiety that convinces working moms their worth is tied to performance — and we're replacing it with biblical truth that anchors your identity in Christ. If you're battling overwhelm, mom guilt, decision fatigue, or constant self-evaluation, this conversation will help you shift from striving to steady. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why anxiety often targets high-capacity, high-responsibility working moms The difference between conviction and condemnation How to separate facts from fear when you feel like you're failing What it means to anchor your identity in Christ instead of performance How to practice “surrender moments” when anxiety starts spiraling Biblical Truths We Cover In Ephesians 2:10, we're reminded that we are God's workmanship — created with purpose, not pressure. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, we're reassured that God's grace is sufficient — even in our weakness. In Psalm 139, we're told we are fearfully and wonderfully made — fully known and fully seen. And in John 15, Jesus calls us to remain in Him — not hustle for Him. These verses aren't motivational quotes. They are anchors. For the Working Mom Who Feels “Almost Enough” If you're constantly asking yourself: Did I do enough today? Was I patient enough? Did I work hard enough? Am I spiritually doing enough? This episode will gently remind you that: God is not grading your motherhood — He is guiding it. Your value is not measured by productivity. You were called with grace attached to your season. Anxiety measures worth by output. God defines worth by relationship.   Ready to Stop Striving and Start Living Faithfully Aligned? If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to move from overwhelmed to aligned, I created something specifically for you. Faithfully Balanced is a self-led course for working Christian moms who feel stretched thin and spiritually weary — but deeply desire peace, clarity, and alignment. Inside Faithfully Balanced, you will: Clarify your God-given priorities Create boundaries that protect what matters most Build rhythms that reduce overwhelm Anchor your identity in truth — not performance This course is designed to help you live faithfully aligned with what God has actually called you to — without burnout.

If your child is struggling in school, melting down over homework, falling behind in reading, zoning out in class, or constantly overwhelmed, it can leave you feeling unsure of what to do next. You know they're bright. You know they're trying. But something isn't clicking. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Kimberly Hinman, a licensed psychologist and owner of Bloom Testing, a Kansas City–based practice specializing in high quality psychoeducational, neuropsychological, and autism evaluations for children, teens, and adults. What You'll Hear in This Episode In this conversation, we talk about what it really looks like to pursue clarity when a child is struggling including: The earliest signs a child may be struggling academically, behaviorally, or emotionally The biggest misconceptions about ADHD, autism, and learning difference How to tell the difference between typical development and something that needs evaluation What a psychoeducational evaluation actually is and what it can reveal The difference between school testing and private testing What testing day feels like for a child and how to support anxious or sensitive kid How results translate into real support, including IEPs, 504 plans, and school accommodations What to say to parents who worry about labeling their child First steps to take if you think your child may need testing Dr. Hinman reminds us that struggling in school doesn't mean a child isn't smart- it means we haven't figured out what's getting in the way. A good evaluation doesn't label a child; it explains their experience. Testing isn't about a diagnosis. It's about a roadmap. If you've ever felt that quiet nudge that something feels off, this episode is for you.

She relocated to Kansas City in 2020 and has since built strong relationships with local pediatricians, therapists, and schools. As both a clinician and a mom herself, she brings warmth, clarity, and practicality to the families she serves. Dr. Hinman now carries forward the legacy of Bloom Testing's founder, the late Dr. Dawn Bloom, whose compassionate, evidence-based approach made a significant impact in the community. Today, she honors that foundation while expanding the practice's services-including a growing focus on learning differences, ADHD assessments, psychoeducational testing, and comprehensive autism evaluations.

We are living in an age of unprecedented noise—not just around us, but within us. Our minds are constantly pulled by alerts, opinions, endless information, and now the accelerating pace of artificial intelligence, which only adds to the sense that everything is moving faster than we can process. It's no wonder so many capable, thoughtful people feel stretched thin and quietly overwhelmed—not from weakness, but from living in a world that rarely pauses. In this episode, From Overwhelmed to Anchored, we'll talk about how to regain inner stability by building anchors that hold: simple, intentional habits like devotionals, journaling, exercise, thoughtful planning, protected thinking time, and guilt-free rest—practices that work together to create a resilient inner framework, even when the world around us refuses to slow down. And all of this is doable. Inner stability is not achieved through dramatic life changes, but through small, consistent habits practiced over time. These anchors—devotionals, journaling, exercise, planning, thinking time, and rest—work together to create a resilient inner framework. We cover them all in this show and article!

This Ramadan feels different. We are not entering it light and carefree . We are arriving burdened. Carrying grief from what we're witnessing around the world. Carrying political tension, social unrest, community fractures, private anxieties, and the quiet exhaustion of simply trying to stay faithful in heavy times.In this episode, we talk about what it means to fast when your heart already feels worn out. How do we show up to worship when we're mentally drained? How do we hold space for global pain while still tending to our own souls? Is it possible that Ramadan was designed precisely for moments like this?This conversation is for the tired believer. The overwhelmed mother. The activist trying not to burn out. The woman scrolling through headlines before suhoor. The one who feels both spiritually hungry and emotionally depleted.Ramadan isn't asking you to pretend you're not heavy. It's inviting you to bring that heaviness to Allah.Let's talk about how.Text to get in touch!Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, subscribe and share!

Breaking The Mindset That’s Blocking Your Breakthrough Matthew 6:31–34 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (NIV) 2 Kings 4:1–2 The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.” 2 Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.” (NIV) 1. The Overwhelmed Mindset 2. The Self-worth Mindset Luke 12:15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” (NIV) Psalm 34:19 The RIGHTEOUS person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; (NIV) 3. The Poverty Mindset 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may PROSPER in all things and be in health, just as your soul PROSPERS. (NKJV) Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. (ESV) Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to PROSPER you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (NIV) Psalm 1:1–3 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. 3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do PROSPERS. (NIV) Joshua 1:8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be PROSPEROUS and successful. (NIV) 2 Corinthians 9:8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. (NLT)

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 34 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the astonishing Brahma Vimohan Leela. After Krishna saved His friends from the Aghasur demon — who had disguised himself as a giant python — the creator Brahma himself became bewildered. Seeing Krishna eating the half-eaten food of His cowherd friends, Brahma doubted how the Supreme Lord could behave so intimately.  To test Him, Brahma hid all the cowherd boys and calves. In response, Krishna expanded Himself into identical forms of every child and calf for an entire year. During this time, the mothers and cows experienced an extraordinary increase in love — because it was Krishna Himself they were embracing.  When Brahma returned and realized his mistake, he witnessed Krishna revealing countless divine forms. Overwhelmed, Brahma offered heartfelt prayers, acknowledging the supremacy of Krishna and glorifying the unparalleled devotion of the cowherd boys.  This leela reveals that even the highest cosmic intellect cannot comprehend God through knowledge alone — only love grants true understanding.    About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 22 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the tender leela of Lord Shiva's devotion to Baby Ram. When Vishnu descended as Shree Ram, Ayodhya rejoiced, yet Shiva longed for the infant's darshan. Disguised as a saint, he prayed with deep humility. Queen Kaushalya, moved by his sincerity, granted him the vision. Overwhelmed, Shiva's heart melted in bliss at the sight of Ram's divine child form.  Swamiji emphasizes that this episode reveals the power of heartfelt prayer: when offered with humility and love, it moves God Himself. Even Lord Shiva demonstrates that devotion and surrender are the highest paths to divine grace.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 31 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the touching Mud-eating leela of Shree Krishna. When the cowherd boys complained that Krishna had eaten mud, Mother Yashoda demanded that He open His mouth. Instead of mud, she beheld infinite universes within Him. Overwhelmed and confused, she momentarily glimpsed His divine majesty — yet by Yogmaya's grace, her motherly affection returned, and she again saw only her beloved child.  Swamiji explains that in Braj, Krishna hides His almightiness to relish pure love. Both devotee and God forget His supremacy so that intimate devotion may flourish.  This episode beautifully introduces Vatsalya Bhav and the five ways to love God — as King, Master, Friend, Beloved, or Child — revealing that love deepens when we truly feel that God is “mine.” The highest sweetness of Krishna lies in becoming lovingly bound by His devotees.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 39 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji beautifully explains the Gopi Geet, the heartfelt song sung by the gopis when Krishna disappeared during the Raas Leela. Overwhelmed with longing, the gopis poured out their souls in verses that revealed the depth of their devotion. Their words were not demands for worldly gain or liberation, but pure expressions of love, yearning only for Krishna's presence.  The Gopi Geet demonstrates the pinnacle of bhakti: selfless, unconditional love for God. The gopis did not seek wealth, recognition, or even freedom from suffering. Their only desire was to serve and behold Krishna. This intensity of devotion shows that true bhakti is not about rituals or intellectual knowledge, but about surrendering the heart completely to the Lord.  Swamiji highlights that the gopis' love was so pure that it melted even the Supreme Lord. Krishna, though infinite, was bound by their devotion and returned to them, affirming that God cannot resist the call of selfless love.  This leela teaches that when devotion is free from selfish motives, it becomes irresistible to God. The Gopi Geet is not just poetry — it is the soul's cry for union with the Divine, and it remains one of the most moving expressions of love in the entire Bhagavatam.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 44 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the powerful episode of Uddhav's visit to Vrindavan, where bhakti triumphs over gyan. Though a great scholar and disciple of Brihaspati, Uddhav was sent by Shree Krishna to deliver a message to Radha and the gopis. What he witnessed transformed his understanding forever.  When a flower sent by Radha floated down the Yamuna, Krishna was overwhelmed with remembrance of her love. In Vrindavan, Uddhav encountered the unparalleled devotion of the gopis. In the famous Bhramar Geet, Radha expressed the depth of divine longing, revealing a love far beyond philosophical reasoning.  Uddhav attempted to teach non-dual knowledge, but the gopis showed that Krishna was not merely Brahman to be understood — He was their very life and soul. Their pure, selfless devotion shattered Uddhav's pride in scholarship. Overwhelmed, he prayed to be born as a blade of grass in Vrindavan to receive the dust of their feet.  This leela teaches that while knowledge reveals God, only love binds Him. Radha's prem bhakti stands as the highest spiritual attainment, proving that devotion ultimately conquers even the greatest intellect.    About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

If you've been trying to figure out how to reduce inflammation in the body naturally but feel like you're chasing ten different solutions at once, this episode is for you. You don't need more supplements. You don't need a harsher detox. You don't need more discipline. You need the right order. In this 500th episode, I'm breaking down why inflammation feels so hard to fix and walking you through a simple, foundational framework to stabilize your body first — before you add intensity. We'll talk about: Why inflammation is a systems issue (not just one food or one supplement) The biggest mistake most women make when trying to heal How blood sugar swings, stress, sleep, and nervous system overload all connect What to focus on first (and what not to do yet) Signs your body is starting to respond This isn't about perfection. It's about stabilization. If you've been exhausted, inflamed, overwhelmed, and unsure what actually matters most, I want to help you simplify so your body can finally begin to heal.

Today’s Bible Verse: “The humble have seen it and are glad—you who seek God, let your heart revive.” — Psalm 69:32 Psalm 69:32 offers hope to those who feel overlooked, weary, or low in spirit. God sees the humble and lifts their hearts with renewed life. This verse reminds us that seeking God is not in vain—He meets those who come to Him with openness and need. “Want to listen without ads?

If you feel like you're constantly cleaning the same spot in your house — and it never stays fixed — this episode is for you. Why does clutter keep coming back? In this episode, I'm sharing a simple shift that costs almost nothing and has quietly lowered friction in several areas of my home. No overhaul. No expensive organizing bins. Just one small adjustment that makes it easier for things to land where they belong. This idea came from my mom during a recent holiday visit — and I've been slowly applying it ever since in the little “hot-spots” that tend to collect towels, pantry items, homeschool supplies, and bathroom clutter. If you're craving calmer, more intentional days — especially in a full, real-life season — this is a gentle place to start.

Do you ever feel like your voice as a dad is getting drowned out at home? Screens. Sports. Social media. School pressure. Constant noise. It can feel like the world is shouting—and your influence as a dad is shrinking.   In Part 6 of our From Overwhelmed to Intentional series, we talk about how to be clear when the world is loud. You may not be the loudest voice in your child's life. The good news? You don't have to be.   In this episode, we cover: Why competing with culture is a losing strategy How to lead your kids' hearts, not just their habits The difference between reacting and reframing What Jesus modeled about peace, clarity, and influence How to create "vacuum pockets" of peace in your home Why you don't have zero control—even when it feels like you do   If you've ever thought, "I'm losing my influence," this one is for you. You're not called to out-shout the world. You're called to out-last it. Let's move from overwhelmed to intentional—together. Want to shape the direction of the show this year?

Two and a half weeks into the Nancy Guthrie disappearance, the investigation has been buried under a mountain of noise that shows no sign of clearing. At least one ransom communication has been confirmed fraudulent — leading to the federal arrest of a California man with no connection to the case. Additional ransom notes demanding cryptocurrency remain unverified. A live-broadcast detention near the border produced no charges. A SWAT raid two miles from the home produced no arrests. And the DNA evidence from a glove found miles from the crime scene — the lead that generated the most public hope — came back today with no CODIS match and no connection to the DNA recovered at the property.On True Crime Today, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott analyzes the psychological ecosystem of a contaminated case. Scott has worked in forensic mental health for over thirty years and understands what happens when chaos overwhelms an investigation from every direction. She examines the psychology of people who fabricate ransom demands in stranger kidnappings, the corrosive effect of evidence contamination on investigator morale and public confidence, and the psychological phenomenon of dramatic investigative action that produces zero results.She also addresses a dimension of the noise that rarely gets discussed: the chilling effect on real witnesses. When a person of interest is stopped, searched, and broadcast nationally — then cleared and released — what happens to the next person who might have genuine information but doesn't want their life turned inside out on camera? At what point does the volume of public participation tip from asset to liability?This is an examination of how noise, spectacle, and dysfunction can become the primary obstacles in a case where time is the one thing a missing 84-year-old woman doesn't have.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #GuthrieNoise #BungledEvidence #FalseTips #CaseContamination #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #TucsonCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

March can bring some unpredictable classroom energy… but what if you could channel it into something that boosts engagement and hits reading, writing, and discussion standards all at once? In this week's Teaching Middle school ELA podcast episode, we're walking you through exactly how to run a March Madness Poetry Bracket in any classroom. From choosing poems and setting up your bracket to building powerful justification skills through authentic voting, this strategy turns poetry into something students actually look forward to. If you've ever wanted a way to make poetry feel exciting, competitive, and deeply instructional — this is it. Resources Mentioned:Poetry: A New Perspective YouTube Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhKSG3-joAwJanuary Bonus Podcast Episode: BONUS: How to Use EB Resources With Your District Curriculum (Without Getting Behind or Overwhelmed)

Send a textIn this episode, I'm talking about boundaries in the body — not just emotional or relational boundaries, but biological ones.If you've been feeling porous, reactive, sensitive to everything around you, unable to regulate, or like you're absorbing more than you can hold… this may not be a personality flaw. It may be your terrain.We're in a season of repair, and I want to help you understand what's actually happening underneath the surface.I walk you through:• The gut lining as your first biological boundary• How intestinal permeability (leaky gut) creates chronic immune activation• Why histamine overload makes you feel allergic to life• How mineral depletion affects nervous system containment• The role of microbial diversity in strengthening or degrading your inner ecosystem• Why motility and drainage matter just as much as “sealing the gut”If your tight junctions are compromised, your immune system never fully stands down. If your microbiome is dysbiotic, inflammatory metabolites affect your mood, cognition, and stress response. If your minerals are depleted, your nervous system loses clarity and your cells lose their ability to hold a charge.This isn't woo. It's biology.And it's deeply connected to how you experience boundaries in your daily life.If you haven't already, I recommend listening to my earlier episode where I break down the mechanisms of leaky gut and metabolic endotoxemia in detail:

You asked for it. You worked for it. You prayed for it. So why does it feel so heavy?This week we are talking about what happens when answered prayers come with pressure. The nervous system adjustment, the responsibility, the fear of losing what you built, and the shame of admitting it feels like a lot.You can be grateful and overwhelmed at the same time. And this episode explains why.

If you feel like you're drowning right now… this one's for you.Trying to follow Jesus with integrity.Trying to love your wife well.Trying to disciple your kids.Trying to provide and carry the weight of responsibility.That's four heavy bags already.And then the world keeps asking for more.More opinions.More commitments.More distractions.More “opportunities.”In today's episode, we talk about why it's okay to say, “My hands are full.”Why you don't have to carry every bag handed to you.And why saying no might be one of the most faithful things you do.Strong families begin with healed men.Sometimes healing looks like limits.

Ever think of packing up and leaving? Let's face it, many of us have. With all the crazy happening in our country, from gun violence to a lack of affordable housing and healthcare, not to mention an education system that has been sub par, many have dreamed of packing up the kids and getting out of dodge. And that's just what our guest did. Meet David Schnurman, successful entrepreneur and author, "Eleven Suitcases: How Moving Abroad Changed A Family Forever," who says moving was the best thing he and his family ever did. Overwhelmed by the grind of raising three young kids in NY, David, the founder and CEO of Lawline, and his wife, Kelli, made a decision in 2019 while sitting at their kitchen table to pack up and move to Barcelona. What followed was a life of unplanned adventure, from treks in Morocco to mountain escapes in Spain. However, there were multiple challenges, like the lockdown, among others. But what unfolded changed their family forever - in unexpected ways. Now back in the States with his family and their eleven suitcases, David talks about their experiences and how it transformed them.

Rest doesn't mean doing nothing, but simply pausing the constant pushing forward. In this conversation with Carolyn of Homesteading Family, we talk about what happened when her family intentionally committed to a “year of rest” on their busy homestead. With older kids, a growing business, animals to tend, and even a wedding thrown into the mix, this wasn't a year of sitting still. It was a year of redefining peace, rethinking commitments, and learning that true rest often starts in your mindset long before it shows up on your calendar. If you've been feeling burned out in homesteading, homemaking, business, or motherhood, this episode will meet you right where you are and give you practical encouragement to find peace in your current season. In this episode, we cover: - The long-term vision behind planning six years of building followed by a seventh year with no major homestead projects - What “rest” actually looked like with 11 kids, animals, gardens, and a full family business still running - The surprising ways time opened up when they stopped adding infrastructure, remodels, and new systems - How an unexpected engagement, homestead wedding, and cabin build reshaped their carefully planned year - Living by rhythm instead of a clock-driven schedule and why everyday chores don't have to feel burdensome - The myth that life automatically gets easier as kids grow — and how each new season brings its own challenges and freedoms - The difference between removing work and actually experiencing peace - A practical shift that brought immediate calm and clarity to her days and why overwhelm often follows us even into vacation seasons - The hidden cost of overcommitment and how to recognize when it's stealing your joy in the everyday moments - Telling yourself the truth about your personality and energy instead of striving to meet someone else's standard - Designing home rhythms that serve your season instead of copying what works for someone else View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

I've been hearing from so many of you that you're feeling overwhelmed by what's happening in the world right now. And if you are, you're normal. Because it is overwhelming. We were not designed to be in this hyper-aroused nervous system state for as long as we've been. Our bodies aren't meant for it. Our minds aren't meant for it. And yet here we are, living in a 24-hour bad news cycle that literally never ends. You know, it didn't used to be this way. There was a time when the nightly news was one person reporting on the day's events without editorializing. Now it's a circus of talking heads and pundits and narratives coming at you from every direction. And if you're trying to be a well-informed, good global citizen without being buried under a tidal wave of bad news, that's a really hard line to walk. If you're feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, anxious, or paralyzed, this one is for you. And you're not alone. I created a free guide including a guided meditation called One Love to go along with this post. You can grab it at terricole.com/guide. There are things you can do to keep your mental, physical, and emotional health intact right now. None of them cost money. Most of them are about changing your mind about what you're allowed to give yourself. So here's my psychological survival kit. Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/805

In this solo episode, I walk you through one of my favorite go-to mindset tools: a two-minute reframe that pulls you out of overwhelm and back into focus.

This isn't about motivation or willpower—it's about direction. And you'll leave this episode knowing exactly what to say to your brain the next time things feel like too much. What you'll learn: The surprising truth about where overwhelm really comes from A simple sentence to instantly redirect your brain Why your brain feels “lazy” (hint: it's not) How to apply this mindset shift to paper piles, your digital files, and your chaotic thoughts The difference between sorting and organizing—and why starting with sorting is everything Why perfection is NOT required (and how to move anyway) For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/156

Try This 1-Week Reset to Feel Like Yourself Again. Do you ever feel like your brain has 37 tabs open… and you can't find where the music is coming from?You're answering school emails.Coordinating rides.Making dinner decisions.Managing work.Responding to texts.Remembering appointments.Carrying the emotional temperature of the whole house.And somewhere in the middle of all of that…you quietly think:“I just want everything to stop for a minute.”If that's you — this episode is your permission slip.Not to quit.Not to disappear.Not to overhaul your entire life.But to stabilize.Because what you're feeling isn't laziness.It isn't disorganization.It isn't a lack of discipline.It's DECISION FATIGUE.And it's draining you.It's time to implement my:1-Week Stabilize the System Plan Using the Thrive MethodIn this episode, I walk you through a gentle but powerful 1-Week “Stabilize the System” Reset mapped directly from my Thrive Method — so you can move from survival mode back to maintenance (and eventually thriving) without adding more to your plate.This is not a “do more” episode.It's a:simplifystandardizedelegateprotect your brainbreathe againepisode.Especially in February — when winter feels long, energy feels low, and the mental load feels heavy — this reset will help you reduce decisions, calm your nervous system, and create steadiness again.In This Episode We Talk About:✔ Why decision fatigue is silently draining moms✔ Why you feel worse at night (and it's not your fault)✔ How to reduce daily decisions immediately✔ A 1-week stabilization plan inside each Thrive category:TH R I V E You don't need a life overhaul.You need fewer choices.And this episode shows you exactly how to create breathing room again — without dropping the ball on your family.If You've Been Feeling…• Frazzled and scattered• Snappy by evening• Avoidant of simple tasks• Mentally exhausted• Like you “should be able to handle this” but can'tPlease hear me:You are not failing.You are overloaded.And there is a difference.This Episode Will Help You:✨ Lower the mental noise✨ Create stability in one week✨ Feel steady instead of spiraling✨ Move from survival to maintenance mode✨ Protect your energy instead of burning it outYou are a high-capacity woman.But high-capacity women burn out quietly.This week, we don't push harder.We STABILIZE THE SYSTEM.Hit play, take a deep breath, and let's build steadiness again — together.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by clutter in your own home?Have you ever stopped to ask yourself whether the way your home feels is actually affecting how you feel?In this episode, I explore something we don't talk about enough. Decluttering is not just about tidying. It is not about perfect shelves or aesthetic organization. It is about self-love.Because here is the truth. Every item in your home carries responsibility. Every gift. Every purchase. Every “just in case.” And when we do not declutter intentionally, that responsibility builds. Quietly. Slowly. Until it turns into overwhelm.If you feel stuck in clutter…If organizing feels exhausting…If home organization feels like one more thing on your to-do list…This episode is for you.I share why declutter strategies are not just practical tools. They are protective tools. I talk about the hidden weight of clutter and how organization can support your nervous system instead of draining it.This is not about throwing everything away.It is about being intentional.It is about overcoming overwhelm one small shift at a time.It is about choosing what stays in your space and what leaves.And most importantly, it is about creating a home that supports you and your family instead of silently exhausting you.Inside this episode, I'll help you rethink: • What love really looks like in your home • Why organizing is an act of care • How small, simple changes can make a powerful differenceBecause decluttering is not deprivation.It is protection.If you are ready to feel lighter…If you are ready to stop managing endless clutter…If you want practical, realistic home organization that works for real family life…Press play.And let's start treating your home like the act of self-love it truly is.Want to train as a KonMari Consultant?

What if one of your most valuable CX analysts isn't even a person? Agility requires not just collecting data, but closing the gap between insight and action at scale. This means empowering every level of the organization, from the frontline to the C-suite, with the right information at the right time to make smarter, faster decisions. Today, we're going to talk about moving beyond the score. We'll explore how Generative AI is shifting the discipline of customer experience from a reactive, score-chasing exercise to a proactive, problem-solving engine. We'll get practical about how a very lean team at a massive organization can leverage these tools to drive real business impact, especially when faced with an overwhelming amount of data.

Efficient chores aren't about moving faster — they're about deciding the order once so you don't have to rethink it every morning. When chores feel chaotic or take longer than they should, it's usually not because there's too much to do. It's because there isn't a clear system in place. In this episode, I walk you step-by-step through my winter morning livestock chores — not just what I do, but why I do it in that order. From removing distractions first, to batching tasks, to building physical reminders into the environment, I explain the simple principles that keep our barn running smoothly — even during mud season. You'll hear how I structure chores to reduce wasted motion, prevent frustration, train livestock guardian dogs during daily routines, and build systems that protect future me from unnecessary work. The goal isn't perfection. It's consistency and clarity. If you've ever felt scattered during chores or like you're making three trips back to the barn for one forgotten thing, this episode will help you step back, think through your own order of operations, and build a routine that works with your life — not against it. In This Episode, I Cover: Why chaotic chores are usually a systems problem, not a workload problem What “order of operations” looks like in real-life livestock management How removing distractions first saves time and reduces frustration Why batching tasks reduces wasted motion How to use physical reminders in your environment so you don't rely on memory Training livestock guardian dogs during daily chores instead of adding extra time Using daily chores as an opportunity for livestock observation How efficient systems protect your time during busy seasons Why each family member having their own routine can improve consistency How to adjust your routine when seasons and chore demands change Key Takeaways: Efficient chores are built on order, not speed Clear routines reduce mental load and decision fatigue Batching similar tasks saves time and motion Building reminders into your environment prevents forgotten steps Regular observation during chores helps catch problems early Systems protect your time when workload increases Related Episodes: 02 | Overwhelmed? 4 Steps to Create a Practical Plan for Adding Livestock to Your Homestead Successfully 03 | Ready for Goats! 4 Steps to Help You Confidently Shop for and Purchase Your First Goats 06 | What Livestock Should I Get First?
