What do you do when life doesn't look the way you prayed, planned, or expected?   You're showing up. You're being responsible. You're doing "all the right things." And yet internally, there's a quiet resistance that keeps looping: This wasn't supposed to be this hard.   Let's talk about how to handle those hard times and explore how to find peace inside your current season, rather than waiting for things to change.   I open up about my own struggles with grief and wanting things to move faster in both life and business.   You'll learn simple, practical ways to let go of invisible deadlines, find calm in the middle of chaos, and take care of yourself—right where you are.  

If January didn't go as planned, this episode is for you.Maybe you started the year motivated and consistent… and then got sick, missed class, or lost momentum.

We'll explore why consistency matters more than intensity, why your body doesn't forget everything when you take a break, and how to move forward without pressure or shame.This is a gentle reset you can take with you — a reminder that you didn't miss your moment, and you're allowed to begin again.✨ Thank you Frenchies Hairpins for sponsoring this episode!

2025 taught me a lot — mostly through the things I didn't do well.In this honest and reflective episode, I open up about my biggest failures of 2025 and the lessons I'm carrying into the next season of my life.

If you're reflecting on your year, feeling behind, or trying to reset with clarity and purpose, this conversation is for you.✨ Sometimes failure isn't the end — it's the feedback.

France Valerie Lucillo and Haley Cowan open Season 14 of Ke Alaka'i: The Podcast by unpacking their New Year's resolutions, examining failed habits, false assumptions and the realistic changes they're making for themselves and the podcast this year.

 As a new year begins, many people measure growth by strength, success, or knowledge—but Scripture offers a deeper vision. In this New Year sermon from Psalm 131, we are invited to rethink spiritual growth as deeper dependence on Jesus, not greater control over life. Through personal story and biblical reflection, this message explores how quieting our souls before God forms trust, resilience, and peace—especially when life doesn't go as planned. True growth isn't about having more answers, but learning to rest in the faithful care of God like a child with a loving parent.

When things don't go as planned, clarity often meets us in the pause. In this episode, I reflect on a year shaped by interruption, unexpected loss, deepened faith, and quiet growth. This is an honest year-end reflection about trust, endurance, and choosing to end the year softly.

Has this year left you feeling defeated? If you're ready to give up after giving it all you had, this episode will give you the push needed to get up and fight another day. In this teaching, I share my practical advice for starting over, even when it feels like things never work out. The truth is, you have no idea how close you are to winning the fight while you're in it. Sometimes you just need a reminder that you have what it takes to try again.

" It's interesting looking back because I normalized being hungry, normalized being super tired... and when you don't know that that's not normal, you're also not necessarily open to hearing otherwise because it sounds like somebody wants to hold you back from your performance." Justine Fédronic immigrated to the US from Europe in elementary school. Before she learned English, she found a way to connect with her classmates at recess—through running. She showed talent on the run early, and a coach suggested she try for an athletic scholarship to college. She competed at Stanford, but not without some highs and lows.  Fédronic signed a professional running contract before graduating college, but her running career before and after this point was riddled with chronic bone stress and soft tissue injuries. She struggled with underfueling, irregular periods, and constantly having to take time off.  " A lot of college and high school, I really struggled with my mental health. And there was definitely a correlation between my stress injuries and my depression," she shares.  In this conversation with Lane 9, she shares how her running story didn't go as planned, and how she's found her way back to the sport without the pressures of performance and outcomes. She has worked with some of the brands you know and love, and is now working with the nonprofit For All Mothers+.  Connect with her on Instagram @jfedronic.  If you're looking for sports nutriton and marathon fueling support for your next training cycle, and/or a coach informed in REDs and women's health, go to our Lane 9 Women's Sport and Health Directory at lane9project.org/directory.  Follow Lane 9 on IG @Lane9Project, and contact us anytime via Lane9project.org

In this episode, I share why last year was one of the hardest years of my life and give you tools on how to navigate the middle.Last year pushed me in ways I didn't expect. I didn't quit.

Listen in to find out how to navigate the messy middle when you want to quit.This episode is about taking action before motivation shows up, holding steady when you miss your own expectations, and becoming the person who follows through even when it's hard.You don't change the goal to feel better.

What to do when life doesn't go as planned.

In this solo episode, Trail reflects on the unsuccessful hunts — the hunts that didn't end with a filled freezer or a grip-and-grin photo. He digs into what those experiences taught him about preparation, decision-making, patience, and what really matters in the field. From missed opportunities to hard-learned lessons, this is a real conversation about learning through failure and why sometimes the best takeaways come from the tags that stay uncut.

Most of us have a daily plan that includes a routine of productive habits. Sometimes the plan happens. And you have a few days, maybe even a week of things running smoothly. Then there is an interruption. And all of the sudden days have gone by and your plan hasn't happened at all. At the top of this list is often our habits regarding eating and exercise. In all our areas of life where we seek to develop good habits and get better results, there is new information that the areas of diet and exercise don't work like the others and are the areas we most fail, because, life happens. This new information is brought to us by Dr Michelle Segar who sat down with a couple of years ago. Michelle takes our cultural concept of habits to task. We're going to talk about her groundbreaking, decision-making framework—and the science behind it—to give hope to the millions of what she calls, “unhabiters,” who are frustrated with their failure to keep up all the good habits they intend to engage with, and discuss a behavior-change solution designed for them. We are enamored with creating habits in our lives that will give us the success we want, but what you're about to find out is the normal framework and perspective of habits we have doesn't work for…a lot of us. But there is a solution that will, and it's why I have Michelle on the show. Michelle is an award-winning, National Institute of Health funded sustainable behavior change researcher at the University of Michigan and a lifestyle coach. For nearly three decades, she has pioneered methods to create sustainable healthy behavior changes that are being used to boost patient health, employee well-being, and even gym membership retention.

In this heartfelt year-end reflection, Lucy reminds listeners that even when it feels like they didn't achieve much, quiet growth and inner transformation still count as powerful progress. She encourages embracing gratitude, grace, and self-compassion while redefining what success truly means before stepping into a new year. Key Takeaways: Growth isn't always loud, even slow, quiet seasons hold valuable lessons. Confidence is built in the stillness, not just in achievements or recognition. Redefine success by honoring who you're becoming, not just what you've accomplished. Gratitude turns every experience, even detours, into part of your journey forward.

Did your motherhood story turn out the way you hoped? Even if it didn't, God is still writing something beautiful. Motherhood is both messy and miraculous. Even the president of MOPS faced heartbreak in motherhood. When Elisa Morgan led MOPS, she encouraged millions of moms — but behind the scenes, her own motherhood journey was far from perfect. In this candid conversation, Elisa shares the struggles and blessings of parenting, how she found God's faithfulness in the hard seasons, and why she believes mentoring younger women is one of the most powerful ways to build strong homes of faith, especially when motherhood doesn't look the way you expected. If you've ever felt like you're not enough as a mom, this conversation will remind you that God is present in every part of your story. Whether you're a new mom or an empty nester, hope and healing are always possible.

For they may say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.' ” And the LORD asked him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied. “Throw it on the ground,” said the LORD. So Moses threw it on the ground, and it became a snake, and he ran from it. “Stretch out your hand and grab it by the tail,” the LORD said to Moses, who reached out his hand and caught the snake, and it turned back into a staff in his hand. “This is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.”   Romans 5:5 – “And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”    Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”   

In this practice episode, Jennifer England invites you into the courageous act of consenting to be undone.Drawing on her recent conversation with cultural worker and author Stephen Jenkinson (Matrimony: Ritual, Culture and the Heart's Work), Jennifer reflects on how, in a world filled with urgency, grief, and collapsing certainties, true participation requires both patrimony (our inheritance of grief, beauty, and obligation) and matrimony (a ritualized consent with the unseen).From this larger vision, Jennifer distills a simple yet powerful practice:Notice when things don't go as planned — a delay, an interruption, a conflict.Pause and soften your body's resistance.Ask: What might open if I allow this moment to undo me, just a little?This practice offers a counterweight to urgency and the need to fix. It nurtures intimacy with the unknown, and a deeper participation in what is always remaking itself.

Episode Summary: In this honest and reflective episode, Molly shares her personal journey with More Dry July and what it really means when your outcome doesn't match your original goal. She walks through her mindset shift from chasing perfection to reinforcing identity, and how 21 alcohol-free days—rather than the planned 24—still powerfully reflect the systems she's built as an Alcohol Minimalist.Drawing from James Clear's Atomic Habits and Elizabeth Benton's Chasing Cupcakes, Molly explores how honest tracking, identity-based change, and keystone habits can keep you aligned even when things don't go perfectly. She also shares a powerful metaphor that reframes each alcohol-free day as a building block in the foundation of a peaceful relationship with alcohol.Whether your July was a success by the numbers or felt a little off-track, this episode will remind you that your next decision matters far more than your last one—and that progress is always possible when you stay connected to who you are becoming.In this episode, you'll learn:Why prioritizing alcohol-free days matters more than perfectionHow “alcohol-free-ish” thinking can undermine honest accountabilityThe difference between tracking outcomes vs. living your identityWhat it means to own your behavior without excuses or shameWhy each AF day is like stacking a brick in your foundationResources and Links:Atomic Habits by James Clear: https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habitsChasing Cupcakes by Elizabeth Benton: https://amzn.to/3KXh2xQStart your Sunnyside trial: https://www.sunnyside.co/mollyWork with Molly or learn more: https://www.mollywatts.comQuote of the Week: "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." – James ClearLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★
