We reflected on how true strength comes not from our own ability but from God's healing power flowing through us when we acknowledge our weakness. Through scripture, personal testimonies, and discussion, we explored how pain and suffering are not wasted but are used by God to deepen our dependence on Him, grow us spiritually, and draw us into closer fellowship with Christ. We were reminded that God's love and power are unchanging, that fear is overcome by His Spirit of power and love, and that even in suffering, His presence gives healing and rest.Themes:God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7)Eternal healing in Christ, with weakness as the place where His power is made perfect (2 Corinthians 12:9)Christ's humanity and crucifixion made God's unchanging power and love accessible to usFear arises from pride and rejection of God's love, while submission brings peaceSpiritual healing is essential; physical healing is not always God's plan (1 Thessalonians 5:23; 3 John 2)Pain and suffering serve a divine purpose, as seen in Job and Paul's livesWeakness and trials prepare believers for eternal glory (Revelation 21:4; 2 Timothy 2:12)God's presence in suffering brings deeper intimacy, teaching us to trust His gracePrayer and fellowship strengthen our understanding of God's healing powerScripture References:2 Timothy 1:7; 2 Corinthians 12:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 3 John 2; Job; Revelation 21:4; 2 Timothy 2:12; Hebrews 4:16

SHOW NOTES Grief is hard enough without believing ‘untruths' that make the journey even heavier. In this episode, I'm sharing the top 3 lies that hold you back in grief—those sneaky thoughts that make you feel like you're doing this “wrong” or that healing isn't going to happen. Here's the truth: Grief isn't linear—it's messy, with ups and downs. You don't have to start over after loss—you keep going with what remains. There's no finish line in grief, but there is absolutely healing when you stay close to God. As a bonus—but really the most important truth—staying connected to God is the only way to experience true healing. He doesn't just help you navigate grief; He transforms your pain into purpose.

Today's podcast answers a question from someone who is disheartened and confused as to why they keep experiencing powerful triggers and emotional reactions to certain situations when they thought they did all of the healing work. We often don't realize, that a part of our brain didn't get the memo, that it's OK to react differently to things and that we have the power to choose how we respond to something and what we make it to be. Once the heavy lifting of the healing work is done, we have so much more freedom to change the old script we have been following and to write a new one.

Theme of this week's readings: The Healing Power of Divine Love
I spoke with Linzi Bell — adventurer, speaker, and mental health advocate — just days after she completed the Camino Via Francigena: 1,512 miles in just 66 days.Fresh off the trail, our conversation became a moment of deep reflection on the healing power of nature, the emotional honesty that long-distance walking invites, and the kind of growth that only arrives when you give yourself space to feel it all.And what a journey it's been.Not only has she walked across Europe — she also became the @fastestknowntime to solo thru-hike the entire coastline of Great Britain.That's more than 6,000 miles, or the equivalent of 234 marathons in 298 days!Linzi's story isn't just about miles (though she's walked thousands).It's about resilience, joy, and letting the outdoors meet you exactly where you are.And her mission? To help people smile through the beautiful benefits of the great outdoors.
When the world of healing turns out to be more political than personal, more performative than compassionate, what do you do?In this episode, we explore a powerful, vulnerable question from Katie, a listener discerning whether to pursue psychology as a profession. What unfolds is part mentorship, part memoir, and a whole lot of honest reflection on the tangled terrain of becoming a healer inside complex systems.I share a bit of my own journey through graduate school, toxic professional cultures, disillusionment with insurance models, and the soul-stretching cost, both financial and emotional, of pursuing clinical licensure as a single mother in my 40s.But this conversation isn't just about psychology. It's about discernment. It's about staying connected to your deeper “yes” when fear, fatigue, and broken systems threaten to drown it out.Whether you're an aspiring therapist, a burnt-out practitioner, or simply someone trying to live with more integrity and heart, this episode is for you.Listener Takeaways:•Why disillusionment in helping professions is not a sign you're broken, it's a call for deeper discernment.•How to honor your “yes” even when fear and power dynamics swirl.•Why finding your people is just as important as finding your profession.•The real cost of licensure, and what to consider before taking on debt.•What it looks like to stay within a system without losing yourself in it.

As a culture, we don't know how to grieve. We're expected to keep it together, stay strong, and move on, even though grief is one of the most universal human experiences. The truth is, when no one models how to grieve, it's easy to feel lost, broken, or like you're “doing it wrong.”In this episode, I'm opening up about my own experiences with grief - the loss of my mom, my mother-in-law, and even beloved pets - and what I've learned along the way. When we allow ourselves to feel grief fully, it becomes not just bearable, but healing. Discover how to stop resisting the waves of sadness, why missing someone is not a problem to solve, and how grief can actually introduce you to deeper parts of yourself.

As the founder of Reboot.io, he works with leaders to foster both professional success and personal wholeness through the practice of radical self-inquiry.

You can learn more about Jerry's work, books, and coaching practice at https://www.reboot.io --- Jerry Colonna is a coach, writer, and speaker who focuses on leadership, business, and the practice of radical self-inquiry. He is the Co-founder and CEO of Reboot.io, a company born from the rallying cry that work does not have to destroy us. Work can be the way in which we achieve our fullest self. A graduate of Queens College, Jerry helps people lead with humanity and equanimity. His unique blend of Buddhism, Jungian therapy, and entrepreneurial know-how has made him a sought-after coach and leader, working with some of the largest firms in the country. In his work as a coach, he draws on his experience in Venture Capital (VC) as Co-founder of Flatiron Partners, one of the most successful, early-stage investment programs. Later, he was a partner with J.P. Morgan Partners (JPMP), the private equity arm of J.P. Morgan Chase. Along with a strong commitment to the nonprofit sector, Jerry is the author of two books: REBOOT: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up (2019) and REUNION: Leadership and the Longing to Belong. Reboot was met with critical acclaim, stirring up a big question in the hearts and minds of people: “How have I been complicit in creating the conditions I say I don't want?” Jerry's second book builds on this question, asking us what benefit we get from the conditions we say we don't want. Jerry is astounded by the fact that he lives on a farm outside of Boulder, CO near the foothills of the Rockies, and far from the streets of Brooklyn where he was born and raised. He is the father of three amazing humans, each of whom cares deeply about the love, safety, and belonging of others. --- Interview Links: — Jerry's website: https://www.reboot.io — Jerry's books: https://amzn.to/3Hw4gpV
In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb explores the concept of seedthoughts, the small but powerful phrases we carry inside us that shape our health, our healing, and our growth. The term “seedthoughts” was coined by Barbara Hoberman Levine in her book Your Body Believes Every Word You Say. Levine discovered that the body can interpret everyday language literally, allowing phrases like “this job is killing me” to plant stress, pain, and even illness. Brian Tracy, with whom Dr. Deb co-authored The Success Blueprint, shared a parallel approach. He taught that affirmations and intentional self-talk are “seeds” planted in the subconscious that grow into beliefs and outcomes. Where Levine warns us of the weeds, Tracy shows us how to cultivate the garden. Together, their work offers both caution and hope and a path forward. In this episode, Dr. Deb discusses: • What seedthoughts are and how they affect mind and body • How Levine and Tracy's approaches connect and differ • Why seedthought practice is not toxic positivity but rather a trauma-informed path toward healing • The science behind seedthoughts, including research in neuroplasticity and psychoneuroimmunology • Three practical exercises you can begin today to replant seedthoughts that support resilience and growth Words are not just commentary. They are creation. By becoming aware of the seedthoughts we plant, we reclaim the power to shape healing and growth beyond trauma. If this episode resonates with you, try one of the practices shared, reflect on the seedthoughts you carry, and share this conversation with someone who may need it. If today's episode resonated with you, share it with someone who could use a reminder that they're not alone. And remember, we're better together, we're stronger together, and take what resonates and GO BEYOND!

Forgiveness. It's one of the core teachings of Jesus, and yet one of the hardest commands to obey. When someone wounds us deeply—whether it's a single life-shaping event or years of accumulated hurt—forgiving feels impossible. In fact, it feels doubly cruel as we must process the attack of our offender and the guilt of withholding forgiveness.Yet the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant teaches us that forgiveness is not designed to punish us but to free and empower us. It is not a path towards great oppression but deeper joy. Join us this Sunday as we explore how forgiveness transforms us into forgivers.

My guest today is Mark Bertolini. Mark is the former CEO of Aetna and the current CEO of Oscar Health. He shares one of the most extraordinary leadership stories I've encountered—surviving a catastrophic skiing accident that left him in chronic pain for 18 years while simultaneously leading one of healthcare's most successful corporate turnarounds. His personal experience navigating his son's life-threatening cancer battle and his own medical challenges fundamentally changed his approach to healthcare, leading to innovations in employee welfare that Wall Street initially questioned but ultimately celebrated. During his tenure at Aetna, Mark generated 652% total shareholder return by implementing revolutionary employee policies and is now applying these lessons at Oscar Health to disrupt the $4 trillion healthcare industry with a technology-first approach. We discuss the power of servant leadership, employer-sponsored insurance vs individual choice-based plans, and the horizons of healthcare.

In this conversation, I talk with child behavior and adoption expert Bryan Post about how trauma, stress, and fear can shape the way our kids behave—and how we respond as parents. Bryan shares powerful insights about what's really going on beneath the surface when kids are acting out, especially in families with adopted or foster children. We dive into the difference between parenting from love versus fear, how oxytocin plays a role in connection and regulation, and what it takes to break out of reactive cycles and create a more peaceful, nurturing home. About Bryan Post Bryan Post is a leading expert in child behavior, adoption trauma, and love-based parenting. A former foster child himself, Bryan has dedicated over two decades to helping families heal through connection, compassion, and regulation. He is the founder of Fear to Love, LLC, Bondify.ai, the Post Institute for Family-Centered Therapy, and the nonprofit Leaf Wraparound. His pioneering “Fear to Love Method” and the “Stress Model” empower parents to respond to challenging behaviors with understanding rather than fear or punishment. Bryan's approach blends neuroscience with timeless spiritual principles, particularly the teachings of Jesus, to address trauma and attachment disruptions in children. He has authored several influential books, including From Fear to Love, The Great Behavior Breakdown, and Parenting Softly, and co-authored the bestseller Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control. Through media appearances, live seminars, online trainings, and digital platforms, Bryan has impacted thousands of adoptive, foster, and biological families worldwide. His AI-powered parenting app, Bondify.ai, offers real-time, trauma-informed support, making expert guidance accessible to parents everywhere. Bryan's central message is simple yet transformative: all behavior is communication, and true healing begins with love. Learn more at www.feartolove.com and www.bondify.ai. Things you'll learn from this episode Why understanding trauma gives parents the insight needed to respond to behavior with empathy rather than punishment How stress and fear often drive challenging behaviors, especially in neurodivergent children Why love and emotional safety are essential ingredients for healing and building strong parent-child relationships How self-regulation and simple tools like breathing help parents stay grounded and co-regulate more effectively Why unexpressed grief in children can surface as disruptive behavior and needs compassionate attention How connection, oxytocin, and community support create the foundation for lasting change—even if you're starting late in the game Resources mentioned Bryan Post's Fear to Love website Bryan's YouTube Channel Bryan on LinkedIn Bryan on Instagram Fear to Love on Facebook The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life by Joseph Ledoux Dr. Herbert Benson / Benson-Henry Institute Tiffany Field / The Touch Institute ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self by Allan Schore Self-Reg: How to Help Your Child (and You) Break the Stress Cycle and Successfully Engage with Life by Dr. Stuart Shanker Dr. Stuart Shanker on the Brain Science Behind Self-Regulation & the Impact of Stress (Tilt Parenting podcast) Learn more about your ad choices.
